POSTCOLONIALISM AS SPATIAL POLITICS IN ARAVIND ADIGA’S THE WHITE TIGER
No full textAbstrak
Fiksi postkolonial memiliki kecenderungan untuk memberikan perlawanan terhadap orang yang dijajah, tetapi hal tersebut tidak sepenuhnya harus diyakini benar adanya, karena adakalanya penulis fiksi post-kolonial belum berhasil menawarkan ruang alternatif bagi yang dijajah. Oleh karena itu, perlu dipikirkan kembali bahwa penulis fiksi postkolonial tidak hanya menawarkan perlawanan tetapi juga kelangsungan proyek kolonial . Dengan teori politik spasial yang meliputi tempat (Place) , ruang (Space), kekacauan (Chaos) , mengganti (Overwrite), dan pasca – ruang (Post-Space) sehingga memunculkan gagasan. Dengan menggunakan salah satu novel karangan Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger . Dengan mengumpulkan serta berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang didapat. Sehingga dapat menggambarkan bagaimana perlawanan dari India pasca dijajah dan bagaimana postkolonialisme digambarkan sebagai politik spasial di dalam novel karya Aravind Adiga yang berjudul The White Tiger . Sehingga, politik spasial dapat ditemukan

Abstract
Postcolonial fiction has tendency to give the resistance of post colonized people, but it does not have to be trusted at all because sometimes the author of postcolonial fiction fails to offer the alternative space for the post colonized. Therefore, it should be rethought that author of postcolonial fiction is not only offering the resistance but also the continuity of colonial project. With the theory of spatial politics which includes the place, space, chaos, overwrite, and post-space, this suspicion can be made true. One of the novels that can be studied is Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger. From this can describe the resistance of post colonized Indian and how post colonialism described as spatial politics in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger. Therefore, the spatial politics can be truly uncovered.
Keywords: Postcolonial fiction, Resistance, and Spatial politics
Development of Feature Recognition Algorithm for Automated Identification of Duplicate Geometries in CAD Models
No full textThis research presents a feature recognition algorithm for the automated identification of duplicate geometries in the CAD assembly. The duplicate geometry is one of the seven indicators of the lazy parts mass reduction method. The lazy parts method is a light weight engineering method that is used for analyzing parts with the mass reduction potential. The duplicate geometry is defined as any geometries lying equal to or within the threshold distance with the user-defined orientation between them and have the percentage similarity that is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The feature recognition system developed in this research for the identification of duplicate geometries is also extended to retrieve the weighted bipartite graph of part connections for the assembly time estimation. The weighted bipartite graph is used as input for the part connectivity based assembly time estimation method. The SolidWorks API software development kit is used in this research to develop a feature recognition system in SolidWorks CAD software package using C++ programming language. The feature recognition system built in the SolidWorks CA
Development of Feature Recognition Algorithm for Automated Identification of Duplicate Geometries in CAD Models

The duplicate geometry is one of the seven indicators of the lazy parts mass reduction method. The lazy parts method is a light weight engineering method that is used for analyzing parts with the mass reduction potential. The duplicate geometry is defined as any geometries lying equal to or within the threshold distance with the user-defined orientation between them and have the percentage similarity that is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The feature recognition system developed in this research for the identification of duplicate geometries is also extended to retrieve the weighted bipartite graph of part connections for the assembly time estimation. The weighted bipartite graph is used as input for the part connectivity based assembly time estimation method. The SolidWorks API software development kit is used in this research to develop a feature recognition system in SolidWorks CAD software package using C++ programming language. The feature recognition system built in the SolidWorks CAD software uses a combination of topology and geometric data for the evaluation of duplicate geometry. The measurement of distances between the sampling points strategy is used for the duplicate geometry feature recognition. The feature recognition algorithm has three phases of evaluation: first, is the evaluation for threshold distance condition of parts in the CAD assembly. Second, the part pairs that have satisfied the threshold distance condition are evaluated for the orientation condition. The threshold distance and orientation are the necessary but not the sufficient conditions for duplicate geometries. In the third phase, the geometries that have satisfied orientation condition are evaluated for the percentage similarity condition. The geometries that satisfy the percentage similarity condition are highlighted in order to help designers review the results of the duplicate geometry analysis. The test cases are used to validate the algorithm against the requirements list. The test cases are designed to check the performance of the algorithm for the evaluation of the threshold distance, orientation, and percentage similarity condition. The results indicate that the duplicate geometry algorithm is able to successfully conduct all the three phases of evaluation. The algorithm is independent of the geometric type and is able to analyze planar, cylindrical, conical, spherical, freeform, and toroidal shapes. The number of sampling points generated on the faces of parts for the orientation and percentage similarity evaluation has the significant effect on the analysis time. The worst case complexity of the algorithm is the big O (nC2x m12 x m22x p4), where n = the number of parts in the assembly m1 = the number of faces in the parts that meet the threshold distance condition m2 = the number of faces that meet the orientation condition p = the number of sampling points on the face The duplicate geometry feature recognition approach is used to demonstrate the applicability in the extraction of assembly relations for the part connectivity based assembly time estimation method. The algorithm is also able to extract part connectivity information for the patterns. Further research is required to automate the identification of other laziness indicators in order to make the lazy parts method a completely automated tool. With regards to the complete automation of part connectivity based assembly time estimation method, the duplicate geometry feature recognition system needs integration with the algorithm for the computation of bipartite graph of part connections for the prediction of assembly time
An Ecocritical Reading of Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger
No full textWhy choose this novel for ecocritical investigation? Connections, that's where an ecocritic begins. Thematically the novel investigates how representations, from the Vedas to 'Sting', connect with, and influence actions in the material world. Extratextually (outside the novel) Aravind Adiga, the author of The White Tiger (2008), was born in Madras, in 1974. And as the target readers for this essay are students situated in Chennai, this novel seems likely to stimulate students' interest because of its author's place connections. On a practical note, a book by an Indiar, author of international fame (the novel won The Man Booker Prize in 2008) is likely to be available in Chennai. In keeping with accessibility for the students, and with the. novel's mischievous use of technology and web connections (see http:// www.whitetiger-technologydrivers.com/) this essay will include: source information from the internet. In addition, Adiga has Australian citizenship, which is where I come in. Connections. Interrelationships. Interdependencies. Ecocriticism, then, encourages connections between regions, histories, cultures, languages and so on, but always, it examines the way in which 'nature' is represented

No full textFull text access from Treasures at UT Dallas is restricted to current UTD affiliates (use the provided Link to Article).Blockchain technology has evolved from being an immutable ledger of transactions for cryptocurrencies to a programmable interactive environment for building distributed reliable applications. Although the blockchain technology has been used to address various challenges, to our knowledge none of the previous work focused on using Blockchain to develop a secure and immutable scientific data provenance management framework that automatically verifies the provenance records. In this work, we leverage Blockchain as a platform to facilitate trustworthy data provenance collection, verification, and management. The developed system utilizes smart contracts and open provenance model (OPM) to record immutable data trails. We show that our proposed framework can securely capture and validate provenance data that prevents any malicious modification to the captured data as long as the majority of the participants are honest. ©2018 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).

An Analysis of Culturemes in Literary Translation: Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger
No full textThe aim of this dissertation is to analyse and attempt to accurately define the notion of cultureme, with a particular emphasis on how it is used in literature. I will attempt to answer some key questions, such as: what is a cultureme? What differentiates culturemes from other linguistic notions? How do translators bridge the gap that culturemes create in literature? What are some recurrent strategies? Moreover, this dissertation will analyse how translators solve the possible issues they face when translating culturemes in literature. In order to achieve that, a prospective, comparative analysis of the novel The White Tiger, by Indian author Aravind Adiga, and its translation in Spanish (El Tigre Blanco) by Santiago del Rey, will be carried out, examining how cultural references, culturemes and other structures have been translated.Este artículo tiene el objetivo de analizar y describir con claridad y precisión la noción de culturema, con un particular énfasis en su uso en la literatura. Responderemos a algunas preguntas, como: ¿qué constituye un culturema?, ¿qué diferencia los culturemas de otras nociones lingüísticas?, ¿de qué estrategias disponen los traductores para disminuir la brecha que crean los culturemas en la traducción literaria? Asimismo, este análisis examinará cómo los traductores resuelven los problemas que pueden derivarse de la traducción de culturemas. Para alcanzar este fin, este trabajo estudiará dicho concepto a través de un análisis contrastivo de la obra The White Tiger, del autor Aravind Adiga, y su traducción al español (con el título El Tigre Blanco, por Santiago del Rey), basado en cómo del Rey solventó posibles complicaciones como referencias culturales, culturemas y otras estructuras
Aqueduct: Task-based entry points in Android apps
No full textModern smartphones offer voice assistants to ease a variety of tasks. However, the actions that can be performed by current voice assistants are limited – a predefined set of built in actions like checking the weather, and a few hooks that can be built into third-party applications. To extend assistant actions to third-party applications, the onus is on the application developers to manually add support for voice assistant integration. To improve the link between voice assistants and third-party apps, we built Aqueduct, a data driven task-based app search and task entry point discovery system for Android. We search over app UI data augmented with semantic annotations to find applications and screens within those applications that can accomplish a given task. Furthermore, Aqueduct can leverage the package name and the activity name of the discovered screen to automatically navigate users to that screen. A user study was conducted to compile a set of common smartphone tasks and evaluate the effectiveness of Aqueduct, which showed that it is effective at finding task-based entry points for a wide range of tasks.
Aqueduct is also useful for augmenting search in application repositories, finding starting points for execution for task-automation systems, and even generating deep link suggestions for applications.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Aravind Sagar, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-15 at 12:17.The student, Aravind Sagar, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-15 at 12:24.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-15 at 14:11.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14321 on 2019-11-26 at 13:05:54Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:30Z (GMT).

ARAVIND ADIGA’S “THE WHITE TIGER” IS ABOUT POSTCOLONIAL SOCIO-CULTURAL LINGUISTICS
No full textLinguistics is the pivot of literature determining its importance in the contemporary society. The merit of a literary text largely depends on the language as it reflects the politics evaluated by the author in an impressive way. In the research paper entitled “Postcolonial Socio-Cultural Linguistics in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger” explores the matter and manner in the linguistic narration. The discourse travels from postcolonial hybridity and marginality to postmodern co-existence. Various literary tools used by Adiga and the liberty taken by him to discuss the drastic change over in the attitude of the contemporary socio-cultural scenario are evaluated. The author has attempted to subvert the elitist historiography and to create a common platform for the co-existence of the elite and subaltern narratives. He has made use of the postcolonial discourse to erase the bordering perceptions and paved way for mutual coexistence where both the centre and periphery can overlap and take the other side with strenuous effort.
