The document summarizes the complexities of elections in India, which has over 20 official languages, over 100 dialects, and a diverse population with 7 major religions and over 3000 social groups. It predicts no party will win a majority in the 2009 elections. It outlines 4 scenarios for coalition governments, with the most likely being BSP leading with outside support from Left and INC parties or BJP. It concludes the elections may result in an unstable temporary government and the "final" of the next political polarization could come in 2012.
The document discusses the role of sound and the body in human experience and cognition. It argues that sound is more intimate and human than sight, allowing for a sense of shared experience and connection. The body plays a central role in musical performance and experience, informing our sense of identity. The document advocates for a phenomenological approach that values subjective, first-hand experience over philosophical abstraction.

This document proposes a quantitative approach to code review using a weighted checklist. It involves assigning weights to checklist items based on their impact and importance. When reviewing code, scores are calculated based on how compliant the code is with the weighted checklist items. A Code Review Score (CRS) is computed as a percentage based on the scores gained divided by the total possible weights. An example demonstrates reviewing a sample code against a weighted checklist and calculating a CRS of 77.94%. Benefits of the quantitative approach include more objective results for analysis and using CRS for code improvement verification and programmer evaluation. Challenges include understanding the process and potential for human errors, though automation could help overcome limitations.
This document proposes a method for verifying web service compositions using Petri nets and transitive matrices. It presents a model for student online registration and examination web services. These services are represented as Petri nets which are then composed together. Deadlocks in the composition are detected using the transitive matrix of the Petri net. The algorithm computes the transitive matrix and uses it to derive reachable states and check for deadlocks. The method allows for verification of web service compositions and identification of potential deadlocks.
The document proposes a cloud based query solver system featuring ontology for educational institutes. It provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS) allowing students to access virtual machines and software as a service (SaaS) with a query solving interface. An ontology collects and categorizes data from different departments to generate inferences for common student queries and allows domain-specific redirection of questions. The implemented system designs an interface for students and professors and installs Eucalyptus cloud to create operating system instances for access.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a defense system for peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution networks using network coding. The system aims to (1) detect polluted data blocks early, (2) identify the exact location of colluding malicious peers, and (3) reduce verification costs to prevent propagation of malicious blocks. It introduces mechanisms for peers to cooperate in both distributing content and protecting against malicious peers by alerting others about detected malicious blocks. The proposed system introduces less communication and computation overhead than other state-of-the-art defense schemes for P2P networks.
The document presents a study on estimating re-striking transient overvoltages in a 3-phase 132kV gas insulated substation (GIS). It discusses:
1) A MATLAB model was developed to simulate a GIS system comprising an input cable, spacer, disconnector switch, 10m busbar and load. Transient overvoltages generated during disconnector switch closing and opening operations and 3-phase faults were analyzed.
2) During disconnector switch operation, multiple re-strikes occur due to the slow contact speed, generating transient overvoltages. Each re-strike was modeled as a voltage collapse across the gas.
3) Simulation results show the magnitude and rise time of
This document presents a method for analyzing mammographic images to classify breast tissue as normal, benign, or malignant. It uses Gabor filtering to extract texture features, principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality, and support vector machines (SVM) for classification. Gabor filters at low and high frequencies are applied to image patches. PCA is then used to reduce the features to the top 10 components. SVMs are trained on labeled data and used to classify unlabeled test images. The method achieved a maximum recognition rate of 84.375% when using low frequency Gabor filters with all orientations followed by PCA dimensionality reduction.
1. The document proposes a fully distributed, peer-to-peer architecture for web crawling. The goal is to provide an efficient, decentralized system for crawling, indexing, caching and querying web pages.
2. A traditional web crawler recursively visits web pages, extracts URLs, parses pages for keywords, and visits extracted URLs. The proposed system follows this process but with a distributed, peer-to-peer architecture without a central server.
3. Each peer node includes components for crawling, indexing, and storing a local database. Peers communicate through an overlay network to distribute URLs, indexes, and search queries/results across the system in a decentralized manner.
