Abstract
Nanotechnology is a great innovation that is revolutionizing the agricultural practices. It is a science that works at the nanoscale and provides many benefits. In this review, the fundamental concepts of nanotechnology are clarified, focusing on its primary applications and a health and environment risk assessment especially in livestock production. There is currently a lack of reliable, cost-effective diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases in farmed livestock animals. Biosensing technologies have the potential to address these problems by developing innovative diagnostic tools for the rapid detection of key health threats within the agri-food livestock sector. It also allows for greater product innovation, with the creation of new food ingredients or supplements with nanoencapsulation or nanoemulsions, achieving a slow release of some composites, or perhaps obtaining healthier foods through the improvement of organoleptic properties in the product. Although nanotechnology provides many benefits, but as with all innovations, there are disadvantages and risks associated with its use. The risk assessment must take into account that the biokinetic profile and the toxicity in the target tissues can vary depending on which nanomaterial is being referred. A risk-benefit balance on the use of nanomaterials must be carried out, and in the majority of cases, though many people are open to the advancement, more information regarding the risks is required. Above all, it must be legally regulated to guarantee Agrofood safety in all products that have been manipulated using nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology and its Economic FeasibilityJeffrey Funk
These slides apply the concepts from my course (Analyzing Hi-Tech Opportunities) to the field of nano-technology. Like the reductions in the feature sizes of transistors and metal lines on ICs (integrated circuits), in the micro-fluidic channels on bio-electronic ICs, and in the features of MEMS (micro-electronic mechanical systems), many physical phenomena become pronounced as the feature size decreases. Carbon nano-tubes, grapheme, quantum dots, nano-particles, and nano-fibers are examples of materials that benefit from small sizes. On the other hand, reductions in costs must be addressed through increases in the scale of production equipment and the creation of better processes; similar things occurred with other technologies such as displays and lighting.
Chapter6 - Review of Passive and Active RF Lumped ComponentsFabian Kung
Reviews the behaviors of lumped components such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, transistors and diodes at high frequencies. Also provide a quick review of how to bias a transistor for use in active circuits (e.g. amplifiers, oscillators and mixers).

Introducing higher dielectric constant (k > 10) insulators [mainly transition metal (TM) oxides] is therefore indispensable for the 70 nm technology node and beyond
TM silicates such as HfSiOx have been preferred because they have better thermal stability compared to their oxides. The dielectric constant of TM silicates is less than TM oxides but higher than silicon oxide.

The Apache Solr Semantic Knowledge GraphTrey Grainger
What if instead of a query returning documents, you could alternatively return other keywords most related to the query: i.e. given a search for "data science", return me back results like "machine learning", "predictive modeling", "artificial neural networks", etc.? Solr’s Semantic Knowledge Graph does just that. It leverages the inverted index to automatically model the significance of relationships between every term in the inverted index (even across multiple fields) allowing real-time traversal and ranking of any relationship within your documents. Use cases for the Semantic Knowledge Graph include disambiguation of multiple meanings of terms (does "driver" mean truck driver, printer driver, a type of golf club, etc.), searching on vectors of related keywords to form a conceptual search (versus just a text match), powering recommendation algorithms, ranking lists of keywords based upon conceptual cohesion to reduce noise, summarizing documents by extracting their most significant terms, and numerous other applications involving anomaly detection, significance/relationship discovery, and semantic search. In this talk, we'll do a deep dive into the internals of how the Semantic Knowledge Graph works and will walk you through how to get up and running with an example dataset to explore the meaningful relationships hidden within your data.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
