    Aadivaara (Sunday) Maalai (Evening) Sermon by Pandit Iyothee Thass

    No full text
    Iyothee Thass Pandit established the 'South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association' (1898) in Rayapetta, Chennai and through it he did various things for Buddhist revival and social change. One of them was the evening sermon held every Sunday. From 1907 to 1914 more than twenty sermon summaries appeared in the magazine 'Tamil'. At that time, Pandit Ayodhitasa's sermons helped a lot in enlightening the people. The ideologies that had dominated the society and the common people for a long time were rendered meaningless after the preaching of Pandit Iyothee Thass. His activities were primarily to restore Buddhism at the cultural level and to eradicate politically and oppose the intrigues that surrounded the common people. Who is man? What is religion? Who is Brahmin? The sermons are based on the answers to the questions included. He preached on the truth of the Bhagavad Gita, the origin of the name India, the differences in the history of the Buddha, etc., in a rational and Buddhist context, with literary flair and satire. These are innovative and primary to today's world of knowledge. M. Singaravelar, who operated in the field of knowledge in the twentieth century, P. Lakshmi Narasu, K. Swapaneshwari Ambal and others preached at the Buddhist Society and supported the social change. Pandit has also delivered speeches along with eminent personalities with intellectual backgrounds. The sermons initiated by the Pandit were conducted in many branches of the South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association. The Buddhist association of Kolar Gold Field, Bangalore, Irangoon (Burma), Tirupattur, Nettal (South Africa) carried out the preaching very well. Youth associations which functioned as a part of the Buddhist association also gave importance to preaching. The seed of preaching planted by the Pandit through the Buddhist association grew into a huge bodhi tree during his lifetime. It is the ideological extension of the Aadivaara (Sunday) Malai (Evening) sermon that continues in today's Buddhist and rationalist movements

    Particles and Fields in Superfluids: Insights from the Two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii Equation

    No full text
    We study the dynamics of active particles in two-dimensional superfluids at temperature T=0T=0, for a variety of initial configurations, by carrying out extensive direct-numerical-simulations of the two-dimensional, Galerkin-truncated Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our study elucidates the interplay of particles and fields, in both simple and turbulent flows. We show that particle collisions can be inelastic, if the repulsive interactions between particles is weak, and elastic otherwise. We show that assemblies of many particles and vortices yield turbulent spatiotemporal evolutions

    Mutual-Friction Coefficients in Two-Dimensional Superfluids: From the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov Two-fluid Model

    No full text
    We start from the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and develop algorithms for the ab-initio determination of the temperature (T) dependence of the mutual-friction coefficients, α and α, and the normal-fluid density Pn, which appear as parameters in the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) two-fluid model for a superfluid. In the second part of our study, we elucidate the statistical properties of two-dimensional, homogeneous, isotropic superfluid turbulence in the simplified HVBK model, with values for the mutual-friction coefficients that are comparable to those we obtain from the first part of our study

    Sequential Data-Driven Long-Term Weather Forecasting Models’ Performance Comparison for Improving Offshore Operation and Maintenance Operations

    No full text
    Offshore wind turbines (OWTs), in comparison to onshore wind turbines, are gaining popularity worldwide since they create a large amount of electrical power and have thus become more financially viable in recent years. However, OWTs are costly as they are vulnerable to damage from extremely high-speed winds and thereby affect operation and maintenance (O&M) operations (e.g., vessel access, repair, and downtime). Therefore, accurate weather forecasting helps to optimise wind farm O&M operations, improve safety, and reduce the risk for wind farm operators. Sequential data-driven models recently found application in solving the wind turbines problem; however, their application to improve offshore operation and maintenance through weather forecasting is still limited and needs further investigation. This paper fills this gap by proposing three sequential data-driven techniques, namely, long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) and gated recurrent units (GRU) for long-term weather forecasting. The proposed techniques are then compared to summarise the strength and weaknesses of these models concerning long-term weather forecasting. Weather datasets (wind speed and wave height) are intermittent over different time scales and reflect offshore weather conditions. These datasets (obtained from the FINO3 database) will be used in this study for training and validation purposes. The study results suggest that the proposed technique can generate more realistic and reliable weather forecasts in the long term. It can also be stated that it responds better to seasonality and forecasted expected results. This is further validated by the calculated values of statistical performance metrics and uncertainty quantification
