This book argues that the changing character of Muslim community and their living space in Delhi is a product of historical processes. The discourse of homeland and the realities of Partition established the notion of 'Muslim-dominated areas' as 'exclusionary' and 'contested' zones. These localities turned out to be those pockets where the dominant ideas of nation had to be engineered, materialized and practiced. The book makes an attempt to revisit these complexities by investigating community-space relationship in colonial and postcolonial Delhi. It raises two fundamental questions: · How did community and space relation come to be defined on religious lines? · In what ways were 'Muslim-dominated' areas perceived as contested zones? Invoking the ideas of homeland as a useful vantage point to enter into the wider discourse around the conceptualization of space, the book suggests that the relation between Muslim communities and their living spaces has evolved out of a long process of politicization and communalization of space in Delhi.
Damini lay lifeless on the cold floor, her body twisted in a horrifying pose of desperation. One arm was outstretched toward the door, as if in her final moments she had tried to crawl to safety. The once-elegant dress she wore was now ripped and stained with blood, her face bruised and scratched. Her wide, glassy eyes were frozen in terror, capturing the brutal struggle she endured. She had fought with everything she had, but it wasn’t enough. Inspector Sharma arrives at the scene. The cold, stiff skin beneath his fingers tells him the truth—she’s gone. But the bigger question looms: Who killed Damini? In a web of secrets, lies, and hidden motives, can Inspector Sharma piece together the clues and deliver justice? Or will the killer remain in the shadows, free to strike again? The clock is ticking, and only one thing is certain—nothing is as it seems. Who Killed Damini? Come, join the investigation and see if you can solve the murder before it's too late.

Technical Report from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 10.00, , language: English, abstract: Ankle foot orthosis (AFO) are externally applied device that a reused to support as well as control the foot and ankle joint of patients having foot deformity. Foot drop is caused by a deficiency in the ankle joint in which results in the weakness of ankle and toe dorsiflexion. This research proposes a new approach to design and performance evaluation of AFO fabrication that utilizes modeling, simulation and analysis software (like Open Sim, Ansys Work bench & Solid work) and additive manufacturing technologies to customize the fit form to an individual. By implementing a carbon fibre strut at ankle joint the design will result in a stronger, more comfortable, more flexible AFO that can adaptively constrain ankle movement for various different activities. GAIT Analysis was performed on six patients having foot drop, from the emotion analysis system in the GAIT lab. The data from the GAIT lab was then imported into the Open Sim to create a biomechanics simulation to extract the joint angle and joint moments. These value of ankle angle and moment with & without AFO was compared with normal value. The results show a considerable effect of the use of the AFO by drop foot patients in terms of ankle angle and ankle moments. Furthermore, the muscular analysis in terms of activation and forces also suggest that the dorsiflexors are assisted by the AFO during GAIT and the activation of the plantarflexion are considerably less during the lifting of the foot of the ground.
Document from the year 2018 in the subject Medicine - Anatomy, Physiology, Cytology, grade: 10.0, , language: English, abstract: Lower leg foot orthoses are orthotic gadgets that help the decrease leg joint and are suitable for a few pathologies, typically those that improve the foot drop circumstance, which is resulting from a lower leg joint insufficiency. In the existing paintings, a custom designed model of decrease leg foot orthosis applied as a part of the human frame has been created. Additive Manufacturing structures has been utilized to create the lower leg foot orthosis (Selective Laser Sintering Technology). Kinematic estimations had been received in a stride lab from foot drop sufferers, with and with out three-D plastic printed lower leg foot orthoses on unmarried toes. The consequences got proven that with the orthoses, the lower leg joint conduct is sort of a instantly torsional spring, with out a hysteresis. With an goal to check the sufficiency of the AFO, Clinical GAIT Analysis of Foot Drop Patients has been performed. Customized 3-d printed Ankle Foot orthosis has been established to present higher GAIT cycle execution. The consequences of this look at indicated that development of gait in foot drop sufferers with 3-d published ankle foot orthosis that's measured via Clinical Gait evaluation.

About the Author Parveen Jain, PhD, is a prolific entrepreneur who has founded and led multiple technology companies in the Silicon Valley. He has ten technology patents, has contributed to over fifty technical publications, and has been recognized with multiple awards for his philanthropic and professional work. For over thirty years, Dr. Jain has been a leader in the vibrant Jain and Hindu communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an ordained œrÀvaka (householder) disciple of °cÀrya Sushil Kumar (GurujÁ), the source of his religious and spiritual education and the motivation for Dr. Jain’s erudition in the Jain tradition. Dr. Jain is deeply involved in the growth of Siddhachalam, the first Jain Tirtha (a pilgrimage, and the abode of enlightened spirituality) outside of India, and considers that, along with leading the effort to build a Jain temple in the San Francisco Bay Area, to be his foremost accomplishment. Inspired by Guruji, he is passionate about applying Jain principles and scriptures to everyday practice for the growing global Jain community and beyond, for current and future generations. About the Book It is well-known that the Jain tradition has been extremely influential in the development of Indian thought and culture. The Jain tradition teaches that there is an interdependence of perception, knowledge, and conduct unified by an axiomatic principle of non-violence in thought, speech, and action. In this way, non-violence defines the core of the Jain tradition, which has had a profound effect on other dhārmic traditions originating in India. Jain Dharma is so significant that in some ways it may be incomplete to attempt to understand other Indian traditions (such as Buddhism or Hinduism) without knowing the basics of the Jain tradition, since these other traditions developed in an ongoing dialogue with the insights and wisdom of Jain respondents and visionaries. This book enables the reader to enjoy a comprehensive journey into the intricate world of Jain thought and culture in a way that is philosophical in its compelling rationality, deeply spiritual in its revelations, yet accessible in its language. The organization of this book allows the reader to engage in an overview of the central teachings of the Jain tradition, but also to ascertain the profundity of its depths. It can be read with equal efficacy in succession from beginning to end, or pursued by individual topics of interest to the reader. Either strategy will have the same effect: a systematic understanding of what the timeless teachings of Jain thinkers have to say about the universal issues of the human condition – and how we might understand our harmonious relationship with other living entities as a powerful and effective spiritual journey.
Today's malware mutates randomly to avoid detection, but reactively adaptive malware is more intelligent, learning and adapting to new computer defenses on the fly.

The concept of fuzzy logic refers to a specific subset of many-valued logic. In this line of reasoning, the truth value of a variable can be any real integer, including any fraction that is between 0 and 1. This applies to all fractions as well. It achieves this by regulating the concept of partial truth, in which the truth value may switch between being entirely true and entirely false at any given moment. This objective may be accomplished by making use of the tool for managing concepts. In contrast, the truth values of variables in Boolean logic can never be anything other than the integer values 0 or 1, as there are only two alternatives that even have a remote chance of occurring. This is because there are only two options that are even remotely imaginable. It is common practice to consider the fuzzy set theory, which was created in 1965 by the Iranian-Azerbaijani mathematician Lotfi Zadeh, to be the basis for fuzzy logic. However, since the 1920s, scholars have been investigating fuzzy logic, which was also known as infinite-valued logic at the time. Most notably, Lukasiewicz and Tarski were the researchers that began this line of inquiry. This particular investigation didn't wrap up until the 1960s, but it began in the 1920s. The idea of fuzzy logic is based on the fact that decision-makers frequently rely on hazy and non-numerical information. In other words, this is the origin of fuzzy logic. The mathematical methods of fuzzy modeling and fuzzy set creation, both of which are used to describe ambiguous and imprecise information, are where the name "fuzzy" first appeared. These models are capable of recognizing, representing, manipulating, understanding, and using facts and information that are fundamentally hazy and ambiguous in nature. Fuzzy logic has been effectively applied in a variety of applications, from control theory to artificial intelligence. Conventional patterns of thinking can only ever lead to conclusions that are either correct or incorrect. However, there are other statements that may elicit a range of responses, such as the answers you could get if you asked a group of individuals to name a color. One that invites people to name a meal is another 1 | P a ge illustration of this kind of proposal. In situations like this, it is the application of reasoning based on incomplete or inaccurate information that leads to the finding of the truth. This argument entails plotting the sampled responses on a spectrum. Although degrees of truth and probabilities both range from 0 to 1, fuzzy logic employs degrees of truth as a mathematical model of ambiguity whereas probability is a mathematical model of ignorance, despite the fact that they may initially appear to be the same. Although they could at first glance appear to be the same because both probability and degrees of truth range from 0 to 1, this is only because they do.
