On Hindu pilgrims and cross -cultural pilgrimage: The hermeneutics of Jarava Lal Mehta
No full textThe life and work of Jarava Lal Mehta (1912–1988) exemplifies the religio-philosophical encounter between India and Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. Garnering an international reputation for his work on Martin Heidegger in the 1960s, Mehta\u27s work in the 1970s and 1980s represents aspects of modern Hindu thought seldom encountered in the works of other more popular authors (e.g., Vivekānanda, Radhakrishnan, Gandhi). Mehta\u27s works make at least two significant contributions to contemporary scholarship on hermeneutics and the Hindu tradition. First, Mehta articulates a postcolonial hermeneutics predicated on the rupture of the self through the encounter with the other. Second, he delineates a postmetaphysical interpretation of the Hindu tradition based on the withdrawal of the other found in the classical theme of viraha bhakti, or “love-in-separation.” In this way, Mehta significantly contests not only forms of perennial philosophy committed to the search for a positive universal ground, but also the monistic ontology of Advaita Vedānta so often privileged by both classical and modern Hindu intellectual traditions. To serve these ends, Mehta proposes the model of the “pilgrim” to represent the self\u27s encounter with the irreducible other. He argues that the pilgrim travels out to an other that interminably resists its intentions and representations: the pilgrim is ontologically incomplete and thus reconciled to its death. Mehta\u27s emphasis on the self\u27s rupture and death consequent to its encounter with the other suggests a significant alternative to the philosophical hermeneutic emphasis on the building up of self through such an encounter. Deploying this hermeneutic of the pilgrim in his interpretation of the Hindu tradition, Mehta suggests that the gopī (milkmaid) represents the postmetaphysical self reconciled to the withdrawn other, thereby displacing the monistic ontology of the Vedānta. To fully understand the complex horizon of contemporary Hindu thought, one must consider the life and work of J. L. Mehta
Desarrollo de un sistema web 2.0 para gestión de contenidos musicales con integración de datos de múltiples fuentes externas
No full textEn los útlimos años ha surgido un nuevo tipo de aplicaciones web que se han denominado Aplicaciones Web 2.0. En este tipo de aplicaciones los usuarios tienen una participación muy activa en comparación con las anteriores aplicaciones en las que los usuarios eran meros espectadores. Actualemente la cantidad de datos y aplicaciones que utilizan los usuarios es mucho mayor debido al desarrollo de la tecnología y la evolución hacia conexiones de banda ancha. Por lo tanto, surge la necesidad de la gestión e integración de los datos del usuario y de los datos de otras aplicaciones en una única aplicación. Este proyecto surge con el objetivo de estudiar varias de las herramientas que permiten reducir la complejidad del desarrollo de aplicaciones de la Web 2.0. En concreto, se presenta el caso de estudio de la creación de una aplicación que permita la gestión de la información musical que proporcionen los usuarios. Esta información estará disponible desde cualquier lugar con conexión a Internet. Además, la aplicación complementará la información proporcionada por los usuarios con información (letras, vídeos, productos relacionados, etc.) obtenida de otras fuentes, constituyendo lo que se denomina un mashup. Este proyecto está constituido por dos aplicaciones: una aplicación de escritorio y una aplicación web. La aplicación de escritorio envía la información del usuario a la aplicación web, y la mantiene sincronizada. La aplicación web permite la consulta y gestión de dicha información, enriquecida con información complementaría proveniente de otras fuentes/aplicaciones. La aplicación web ha sido desarrollada con el framework Ruby on Rails. Con este framework se ha desarrollado una aplicación orientada a REST que facilita la gestión de los recursos de información de los usuarios y la comunicación con la aplicación de escritorio. La aplicación de escritorio se ha desarrollado en Java, y permite tanto procesar la información musical de usuarios del reproductor iTunes y Amarok como obtenerla directamente desde directorios que contengan ficheros de música. ____________________________________________In the last few years, a new kind of Web applications called Web 2.0 Applications has emerged. In
these applications users have a very active participation in comparison with previous applications in
which users were mere spectators.
Nowadays people can use a much higher amount of data and applications thanks to the development
of technology and the evolution towards broadband connections. Therefore, the need for the management
and integration of user’s data and data from other applications into a single application arises.
This project comes up with the aim of studying several of the existing tools that make the reduction
of the complexity of Web 2.0 application development possible. Specifically, it presents a case study
consisting in the development of an application that enables the management of musical information
provided by users. This information will be available from anywhere through an Internet connection. In
addition, the application will complement the information provided by users with data obtained from
other sources or applications such as lyrics, videos or related products, giving as a result what it is called
a mashup.
The project consists of a desktop application and a web application. The desktop application sends
user information to the web application, and keeps it in sync. TheWeb application allows web consulting
and management of such information, enriched with data from other sources/applications.
The web application has been developed using the Ruby on Rails framework.With this framework a
REST-oriented application has been obtained, making easier the related resource management feedback
and the communication with the desktop application. The desktop application has been developed in
Java, and allows not only the processing of information from users of music players iTunes and Amarok
but also getting it directly from directories that contain music files.Ingeniería de Telecomunicació
Mobilities in Religious Knowledge: Phiroz Mehta and the Logics of Transreligiosity in 1970s–80s South London
No full textThis paper examines transreligiosity in the context of the transmission of South Asian concepts of spirituality to the UK in the 20th century. Between the 1920s and 1990s, Indian teacher and author Phiroz Mehta (1902–1994) crossed borders in a colonial and postcolonial shuttling between India and the UK but also transgressed conceptual and practice borders of religion, teaching Indian religious concepts to post-Christian spiritual seekers in 1970s–80s South London. Mehta cultivated an elasticity between many religious and philosophical traditions, recognising the post-institutional fatigue of subjects who sought alternative forms of ‘belonging without believing’. Privileging the domestic space for teaching, as well as transitory ‘camp’ gatherings in the UK and Germany, Mehta often operated in the social margins, combining teachings from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity with Zoroastrianism, Judaism (specifically Kabbalah), and Daoism. He offered his tutees the freedom to practice religion in whatever way they chose by drawing on a broad range of traditions concurrently to create a transreligiosity. This paper examines Panagiotopoulos and Roussou’s ‘transgressional webs of practising individualised forms of alternative spirituality’ in relation to Mehta’s followers in the 1970s-1980s and asks how transreligiosity relates to other theoretical analyses, such as religious exoticism, bricolage, religious appropriation, cultural re-articulation or assemblage. This paper focuses on qualitative interviews with original members of the Mehta community conducted between 2021 and 2022.</p
Design and development of a mechatronic training simulator for adult ECMO
No full textWidespread adoption of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in adults has been limited by unfamiliarity with the procedure, including cannulation and safe handling of the ECMO equipment. We present the design and development of a mechatronic training simulator for ECMO that can help medical professionals acquire the needed skills, gain familiarity, and reduce errors by practicing before performing the procedure on real patients. The trainer is designed as an ultrasound-compatible, wholesome simulator with realistic components such as synthetic blood vessels, cannulation pads, and a color-changing blood simulant to simulate oxygenation and deoxygenation. The simulator is integrated with a mathematical model of human physiology to simulate real-time patient vitals and training scenarios, and to control the trainer hardware. We present results related to successful cannulation under ultrasound scanning and a simple patient scenario of hypovolemia.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Iti Mehta, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-24 at 10:58.The student, Iti Mehta, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-24 at 11:11.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-24 at 12:45.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13873 on 2019-08-22 at 15:08:02Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:36:09Z (GMT).

Previous issue date: 2016-04-27Recent advances in the semiconductor industry and process technology scaling have increased the demand for fast, robust computing. The thirst for high-processing, low power ICs is ever increasing. This has pushed the demand for high data rates in wireless and wireline communication systems in the multi-Gbps range. With higher data rates, the I/O links need to scale proportionally. However, the I/O channel bandwidth has not scaled appropriately making it the biggest bottleneck in high-speed links. Parallel links have not been able to match this increasing system performance due to issues such as crosstalk, timing skew and packaging costs. Thus there is a need for high-speed serial links. For high-speed transmission of data, there arises a need for high-speed on chip clocking circuits making the use of Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) imperative.
This thesis includes an overview of high-speed links along with the need for PLLs. An in-depth understanding of PLL theory, loop dynamics and behavioral and transistor level simulation follows. Performance metrics such as phase noise, random jitter and deterministic jitter are discussed. Finally, this thesis concludes with an insight into All Digital Phase-Locked Loops (ADPLLs).Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01Embargo set by: Seth Robbins for item 93174
