Portraying Mahalakshmi as an Awe-inspiring Mistress: An Exploration of M. Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi
No full textMaria Shriver, an American journalist and activist has expressed that having kids - the responsibility of rearing good, kind, ethical, responsible human beings - is the biggest job anyone can embark on, which is a widely accepted truth, notwithstanding to the boundaries of time, culture and nativity. The research paper aims at exploring the episodes of the movie, M.Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi that assist in substantiating the proclamation of Maria Shriver. The research paper attempts to scrutinize and reiterate the determination of the single-handed Mahalakshmi who plays a successful and inspiring role in all her capacities. Mahalakshmi is a prominent and inspiring woman character of the 2004 Tamil family-drama film, M.Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi that was directed by M. Raja. Being a woman character, she has influenced millions of souls of different backgrounds remarkably. Having deserted by her lovely husband Eshwar, Mahalakshmi moves to a strange city with her sole boy child wherein she strives to become a college Lecturer, thereby constructing her and her son, Kumaran’s life

Revitalization of slum as a micro economic centre mahalakshmi dhobighat, Mumbai
No full textSlums have become an important element of contemporary urbanization. They have become a
part of the cities. They are direct result of the continuous growth of migration and slums are the
only shelter for the migrant in the cities. One of the reasons for this is economical but beyond
that are social and cultural aspects. More than the physical survival, the migrant looks for social
and cultural survival which is found in the slums. Thus slums are heterogeneous.
The slum comes into existence and continues to exist because it meets certain needs. The
migrants from the pre urban hinterland need a place to live and the city needs them for their
labor. Slums are one of the important sources of workforces in cities. Some of these slums
develop a livelihood and a community within themselves.The basic idea is to promote and
develop such slum dwellers to perform their occupation in respect and dignity. Similar example
for such a situation is Mahalakshmi Dhobighat in Mumbai. A place where the Dhobi community
lives and are engaged in their occupation of washing clothes. The Dhobighat was initially built
by the British for their services, were the community were provided with concrete stones built
for washing clothes. Later in 1990’s , the dhobighat was encroached by the dhobis working and
migrants. The dhobighat is still acts as an Industrial core and employs thousands of Dhobis
(washer men) with great productivity. Now the dhobighat is a place with cramped and
unhygienic living conditions due to its hyper population density and pollution
A Crowd Sourcing to Track Individuals in Highly Active Industries
No full textThis paper represents an idea to track employee in highly active industries using mobile application. The majority of geographic positioning systems had been designed to operate within environments that have a long term stable macro structure with potential small scale dynamics. These assumptions enable the present positioning systems to supply and utilize maps. In extremely active industrial settings these assumptions are not valid and so the task of tracking employees is very difficult because of large scale changes in structure. In this project, an unique positioning system for following individuals in highly active industries such as construction sites, marketing and so on. However our system uses cross modality coaching in order to track the environmental changes by utilizing occlusion maps and how these maps can be used in conjunction with social forces to predict human movement and increase the tracking accuracy.

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 Elsevier B.V.Plasmonic silver nanoparticles loaded strontium titanate nanocomposites (Ag-SrTiO3NC) with diverse weight percentages (0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 5 wt%) of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are synthesized by a facile chemical reduction method. The prepared nanocomposites are characterized using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, photoluminescence spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) integrated with Ag-SrTiO3 NC photoanodes has been assessed under simulated sun light intensity of 100 mW cm(-2). The Ag-SrTiO3 NC photoanode loaded with 2.5 wt% Ag NPs exhibited higher power conversion efficiency of 4.39% with short-circuit photocurrent density of 11.54 mA cm(-2), open circuit voltage of 0.77 V and fill factor of 0.49 in DSSC. This enhanced photovoltaic performance can be credited to high dye loading, improvement in visible light harvesting - and fast photo-induced electron transfer caused by the plasmonic Ag NPs.

The Success of the Montreal Protocol for Climate Mitigation: Antarctica Ozone hole Recovery Perspective
No full textThe monitoring of the ozone in the Earth’s atmosphere began in the 1970s due to its absorbing nature of radiation from the Sun, which is harmful to humans and prevents it from reaching the surface of the Earth. However, considerable global attention has been drawn after the finding of the ozone hole, which is associated with a significant drop in total columnar ozone (TCO), specifically a fall in stratospheric ozone (SO) during the spring of 1984. Since then, numerous studies on the Antarctic ozone hole have been conducted following the Vienna Convention and its Montreal Protocol (the ozone treaties) to sustain the ozone layer. In response to this, the Montreal Protocol was developed under the umbrella of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to protect the thinning of the ozone layer. With 197 participating nations, it is a substantial step toward universal ratification.
Towards this, the present study utilized TCO data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Nimbus-7/Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), TOMS-Earth Probe, and Aura/Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) sensors at various time periods. Due to the varied spatial resolution of the missions, daily data were resampled to 1˚×1˚ (latitude × longitude) and generated daily unified spatial resolution matrixes.

Cell migration to CXCL12 requires simultaneous IKKα and IKKβ-dependent NF-κB signaling
No full textAbstractCXCL12 and its unique receptor CXCR4, is critical for the homing of a variety of cell lineages during both development and tissue repair. CXCL12 is particularly important for the recruitment of hemato/lymphopoietic cells to their target organs. In conjunction with the damage-associated alarmin molecule HMGB1, CXCL12 mediates immune effector and stem/progenitor cell migration towards damaged tissues for subsequent repair. Previously, we showed that cell migration to HMGB1 simultaneously requires both IKKβ and IKKα-dependent NF-κB activation. IKKβ-mediated activation maintains sufficient expression of HMGB1's receptor RAGE, while IKKα-dependent NF-κB activation ensures continuous production of CXCL12, which complexes with HMGB1 to engage CXCR4. Here using fibroblasts and primary mature macrophages, we show that IKKβ and IKKα are simultaneously essential for cell migration in response to CXCL12 alone. Non-canonical NF-κB pathway subunits RelB and p52 are also both essential for cell migration towards CXCL12, suggesting that IKKα is required to drive non-canonical NF-κB signaling. Flow cytometric analyses of CXCR4 expression show that IKKβ, but not IKKα, is required to maintain a critical threshold level of this CXCL12 receptor. Time-lapse video microscopy experiments in primary MEFs reveal that IKKα is required both for polarization of cells towards a CXCL12 gradient and to establish a basal level of velocity towards CXCL12. In addition, CXCL12 modestly up-regulates IKKα-dependent p52 nuclear translocation and IKKα-dependent expression of the CXCL12 gene. On the basis of our collective results we posit that IKKα is needed to maintain the basal expression of a critical protein co-factor required for cell migration to CXCL12
