Racializing white residues: seditious Anglo-Indians and others
No full textMy dissertation interrogates the discursive residues of the Anglo-Indian question in decolonized India. To problematize these residues, I structure my dissertation as a fragmented genealogy of colonial and post-colonial perceptions of Anglo-Indians. I open my dissertation by showing how, since the late-nineteenth century, Anglo-Indians were claimed to be only of part-European racial provenance, and tautologically had their bodies deemed sexually deviant. Their bodies being, like those of their non-Anglo-Indian counterparts, in fact of uncertain racial intermixture, I argue that Anglo-Indians inhabit mongrel bodies—bodies in a state of continual flux of class and race, inhabiting a multiplicity of pluralized communities. The ethical end of the decolonized Indian nation-state, I accordingly suggest, is to facilitate the recognition of mongrelism as an inevitable phenomenon across groups—one that fractures monolithic conceptions of race and community. To flesh out this argument, I conduct readings from an archive of novels, historiographic treatises, short stories, memoirs, films, and cartoons. The figures whose texts I examine include, among others, colonial Anglo-Indian ‘prostitute’ Amelia Horne, Anglo-Indian anti-racism activist Cedric Dover, Bengali novelist Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, diasporic English writer Aubrey Menen, Indian cartoonist Mario Miranda, Bengali film director Satyajit Ray, Anglo-Indian politician and historiographer Frank Anthony, and British-Indian writer Ruskin Bond.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Debojoy Chanda, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-04 at 01:48.The student, Debojoy Chanda, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-04 at 02:33.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-06 at 10:04.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12728 on 2018-09-27 at 11:16:29Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:30:17Z (GMT).

Content delivery in software defined networks
No full textInformation Centric Architectures view content as the narrow waist of the networking stack. This abstraction allows routing based on the content name, rather than the network locator of the content consumer and producer. We present ContentFlow, an Information Centric network architecture which supports content routing by mapping the content name to a OpenFlow de ned ow based on TCP and IP semantics. And, thus enables the use of OpenFlow switches to achieve content routing over a legacy IP architecture. ContentFlow is viewed as an evolutionary step between the current IP networking architecture, and a full edged ICN architecture. It supports content man- agement, content caching and content routing at the network layer, while using a legacy OpenFlow infrastructure and a modi ed controller. By e ciently using the content in- formation available in the network, ContentFlow supports e cient tra c engineering. Also, ContentFlow is transparent from the point of view of the client and the server, and can be inserted in between without modi cation at either end. The architecture and implementation of ContentFlow on top of the existing OpenFlow software de ned networking framework is described. Performance of ContentFlow is evaluated using a prototype implementation of an enterprise SDN network with Floodlight controller and multiple virtualized OpenFlow switches. The results show that ContentFlow does result in reduced content access delay in comparison to a legacy architectures.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Abhishek Chand

Linking classroom learning and research to advance ideas about social-ecological resilience
No full textThere is an increasing demand in higher education institutions for training in complex environmental problems. Such training requires a careful mix of conventional methods and innovative solutions, a task not always easy to accomplish. In this paper we review literature on this theme, highlight relevant advances in the pedagogical literature, and report on some examples resulting from our recent efforts to teach complex environmental issues. The examples range from full credit courses in sustainable development and research methods to project-based and in-class activity units. A consensus from the literature is that lectures are not sufficient to fully engage students in these issues. A conclusion from the review of examples is that problem-based and project-based, e.g., through case studies, experiential learning opportunities, or real-world applications, learning offers much promise. This could greatly be facilitated by online hubs through which teachers, students, and other members of the practitioner and academic community share experiences in teaching and research, the way that we have done here
Lewis‐Acid‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Amadori and Heyns Dipeptides
No full textAmadori and Heyns reactions are milestone reactions of
carbohydrate chemistry. There have been little efforts in
transforming these rearrangement reactions to useful catalytic
tools. We demonstrate herein, synthesis of Amadori and Heyns
dipeptides via Lewis acid-catalysis. The accomplished catalytic
Amadori and Heyns synthesis is devoid of protection and
deprotection steps either for dipeptides or for reducing sugar.
By the developed catalytic method we achieved, tagatose
Amadori dipeptides via reaction of D-galactose with dipeptides
including L-alanyl glycine, L-alanyl-L-alanine, L-alanyl-L-glutamine, glycyl-L-phenylalanine, L-leucyl glycine, L-pheynylalanylL-valine in excellent yield. In addition, Heyns dipeptides were
also achieved by employing D-fructose and dipeptides consisting of L-alanyl glycine, L-alanyl-L-alanine, L-alanyl-L-glutamine,
glycyl-L-phenylalanine, L-leucyl glycine. The realized Lewis acid
mediated catalytic method is practical, quantitative, and avoids
chromatographic separation techniques

Synthesis of S-functionalized thioesters using thioaroylate ions derived from carboxylic acids and tetrathiomolybdate via acyloxyphosphonium intermediates
No full textThioaroylate ions generated in situ from acyloxyphosphonium salts and tetrathiomolybdate upon Michael addition or ring opening of three membered systems led to a facile synthesis of S-funcationalized thioesters. While the ring opening of aziridines gave very good yield of the products, Micheal addition and epoxide ring opening gave moderate yields.(C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
