Evolution of mosques in indo islamic architrcture by vamsi maddimaddi vamsi krishna
The document traces the evolution of mosque architecture in India from the earliest mosques built after the arrival of Islam, through various dynasties including the Delhi Sultanate and Mughals. Early mosques were simple in plan and design out of necessity, incorporating local materials and techniques. Persian influences introduced elements like arches and domes. Over time, under different rulers and craftsmen, mosques took on regional variations in style while also borrowing from other places like Persia. Key developments included the introduction of the hypostyle prayer hall, four-iwan plan, single nave prayer halls, and increased use of white marble under the Mughals. Mosque architecture reflected the historical and political changes occurring in India.
Fast construction of bridges using precast concrete elements provides benefits to both owner agencies and contractors. For owners, it reduces the duration of work zones, lowering traffic handling costs and accident risks while causing less inconvenience to the public. Contractors benefit from reduced hazards, the ability to accomplish more work in less time with fewer weather delays, and lower costs. Examples are given of bridges constructed rapidly using precast concrete piles, pile caps, piers, abutments, beams, and other elements.
A comprehensive presentation on Mughal Architecture present in the Indian Subcontinent in the countries of India & Pakistan. It includes almost all of its architectural features and where it derives from. Includes almost all the important landmarks built by the Mughals themselves.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. “42”- sounds revision
People with good communication skills are likely to be understood even though they make
errors in other areas, whereas people with bad pronunciation will not be understood, even if
their grammar is perfect.
Pronunciation
Pronunciation is the way words are spoken. It is very important and critical for proper
communication because the incorrect use of pronunciation inevitably leads to the message
being misunderstood by the recipient. It is integral part of spoken language and plays
important role in the sound system of any language.
Major components of pronunciation includes:
· Segment -- collection of sounds of a language for example, intonation, syllable, phrasing
· Rhythm -- voice quality to indicate how the voice is projected
· Gestures and Expressions: closely related to the way we speak language
Phonemic Awareness
Correct pronunciation of words in English requires an understanding of the different sounds
of spoken English.
A phoneme is a speech sound. It’s the smallest unit of sound that distinguishes one word
from another.
Since sounds cannot be written, we use letters to represent sounds. There are approximately
44 sounds in English, with some variation dependent on accent and articulation. These
44sounds are represented by the 26 letters of the alphabet individually and in combination.
Further, these sounds are broadly divided into 2 groups based on the functionality and they
are called Vowels & Consonants.
There are 20 vowels and 21 consonants in English language. Every word in English
language is a combination of vowels and consonants. Hence it is very important to
understand the sound and usage of these vowels and consonants for right pronunciation.
However in this section, we are only working on the basic understanding of Vowels and
Consonants to increase the efficiency in Pronunciation and Communication.

Vowel and Vowel Sounds: [a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ are Vowel]
Short Vowels:
For example: Cat, Pet, Sit, Pot, Cut.
In the above examples, /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ you hear the SOUND of these letters.
In a Short Vowel word, you hear the sound of the letter. Usually a word with Short vowel is
made up of ONLY ONE VOWEL Sound. This follows CVC (Consonant Vowel Consonant)
Format.
Long Vowels:
For example: Rain, Teeth, Pie, Toast, Cue, Kite
In the above examples, /ai/ /ee/ /ie/ /oa/ /ue/ - You hear the NAME of the respective first letters
In a Long Vowel word, you hear the name of the letter. Usually a word with Long vowel is made
up of 2 vowels. This follows CVVC, CVCV formats.
In the following table, all the underlined letters represent SHORT Vowel sound and all the letters
in the box represent LONG Vowel sound. Rest of the letters represents CONSONANTS sounds.

3. Parts of Speech:
There are many, many words in the English language, but our language is built on only eight
parts of speech. This means that all of the words function as only one of these eight. Some words
can function as more than one part of speech, so it's important that you understand the eight parts
of speech and their functions so that you can recognize them in sentences.
a) Nouns
Nouns are words that name people, places, things, and ideas. They can be common noun
(generic) or proper noun (referring to a specific person, place, or thing). Nouns function as
subjects and objects in sentences.
Activity 07: Write two proper nouns you know of for each common noun.

Active and passive Voice
The verbs underlined in sentences “a” are in the active voice. The verbs underlined in sentences
“b” are in passive voice.
In active voice sentences the subject does the action expressed in the verb. The sentence that uses
the active voice is stronger, uses fewer words, and clearly shows who performs the action.
Example: The tourists are feeding the duck.
In passive voice sentences the subject receives the action Expressed in the verb. The sentence
that uses the passive voice is weaker and less direct.
Example: The ducks are being fed by the tourists.
Activity 31: Underline the main verb in each sentence. Identify each sentence as active (A)
or passive (P) and write it in the brackets.
