The Attic and The Wheelchair V.C. Andrews\u27s Accident and The Dollanganger Series
No full textAuthor V.C. Andrews became known in 1979 with her first novel Flowers in the Attic and continued the series with Petals on the Wind, If There be Thorns, and Seeds of Yesterday. Problematic themes such as sudden accidents, romantic rape, incest, and mother daughter rivalry emerge continuously in each novel. In her interview with Douglas E. Winter, Andrews explains that since her debilitating fall down the stairs at the age of fifteen she lived with and depended on her mother. Unable to fulfill the goals of her childhood, Andrews read fairy tales, and romance novels and wrote her fantasies in the Dollanganger Series. The troublesome characteristics of sudden death, taboo sex, and gender roles reveal a stunted emotional development in the author. This thesis examines the possibility that the series\u27s disturbing, repeated themes are inspired by Andrews\u27s debilitating fall down the stairs when she was fifteen
A new high background radiation area in Geothermal region of Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) of Orissa, India
No full textA high natural radiation zone is investigated for the first time in a geothermal region of Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) of Orissa state in India. The surrounding area comprises a geothermal region which has surveyed using a portable pulsed Geiger–Muller counter. On the basis of findings of GM counter, an area was marked as a high radiation zone. Soil and rock samples collected from the high radiation zone were analyzed by ?-ray spectrometry (GRS) using NaI(Tl) detector. The radioactivity is found to be contributed mainly by thorium. Concentration of thorium is reported to be very high compared to their normal abundance in crustal rocks. Further, concentrations of 238U and 40K are also high compared to normal abundance in crustal rocks but their magnitude is comparatively less than that of thorium. The average concentrations of 238U (i.e. U(?–?)), 232Th and 40K are found to be 33, 459 ppm and 3%, respectively, in soils and 312, 1723 ppm and 5%, respectively, in the granitic rocks. Maximum concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K are found to be 95, 1194 ppm and 4%, respectively, in soils and 1434, 10,590 ppm and 8%, respectively, in the granitic rocks.Radioactive element emits various energies in its decay chain. High energies are utilized to estimate the concentration of actual 238U, 232Th and 40K using a NaI(Tl) detector, however, low energies are used for the same in an HPGe detector. Some of the rock samples (eight in number) were also analyzed using HPGe detector for studying the behavior of low energies emitted in the decay series of uranium and thorium. The absorbed gamma dose rate in air and external annual dose rate of the high radiation zone are calculated to be 2431 nGy/h and 3.0 mSv/y, respectively. It is approximately 10 times greater than the dose rates obtained outside the high radiation zone. The high concentration of uranium and thorium may be one of the possible heat sources together with the normal geothermal gradient for hot springs present in the region. <br/
Nothing but honour: the story of the Warsaw uprising, 1944
No full textProfessor Zawodny, Avery Professor of International Relations at Claremont Graduate School and Domona College, California was an active participant in the events described. Fully documented, the story is based almost entirely on primary sources. Professor Zawodny has consulted German, Soviet, Ukrainian, Polish, British and American documents. Some of them have only recently been declassified and shed new Iight on Soviet-British-American relations during World War II
AMERICAN CAESAR: Douglas MacArthur, 1880-1964
No full textThe narrative begins on a hilltop in Tennessee in 1863. It is Missionary Ridge where 18-year-old Lt Arthur MacArthur, the father of Douglas MacArthur, won the Medal of Honour. Arthur, who later became a Lieutenant General, was the driving spirit behind Douglas throughout his career

THE THIRD WORLD WAR : AUGUST 1985
No full textThis scenario of the Third World War depicts the events leading to the war, the conflict itself, and the aftermath. Purporting to be a history, complete with appendices, maps and index, of a war recently ended, the overall tone of the book gives the impression that it might have been derived from one or more war games

Information sets and partial permutation decoding for codes from finite geometries
No full textAbstractWe determine information sets for the generalized Reed–Muller codes and use these to apply partial permutation decoding to codes from finite geometries over prime fields. We also obtain new bases of minimum-weight vectors for the codes of the designs of points and hyperplanes over prime fields
