The paper aims to highlight the bitter relations that prevailed between the Justicites and Depressed Classes from 1921- to 1923 in Madras Presidency in general and Tamil Nadu in particular. The Pulianthope Troubles, as they came to be called, created growing disgust and distrust among the Depressed Classes towards Justice Party. The Pulianthope Troubles revealed that in spite of the broad –based non-Brahmin sensibility which inhered in non-Brahmin caste Hindus and the Depressed Classes alike , on occasion , the two groups could revert to traditional positions of domination and subordination respectively. It was the Justice Party that was most affected by the Pulianthpoe events. The Pulianthope Trouble severed the relations between the Justicites and Depressed Classes. Thus the Justice Party's dream of constituting a unified non-Brahmin fraternity was retarded in its realization in Madras Presidency and Tamil Nadu

Li+ substituted CoFe2O4 and MnFe2O4 nano particles were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The samples were obtained by annealing at relatively low temperature at 600 ºC and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Lattice constant is increases with increasing Li+ substitution in both the systems. Hopping length is higher in Li-Mn system as compared to Li-Co ferrite system. All the allied parameters such as tetrahedral bond (dAX), octahedral bond (dBX), tetra edge (dAXE) and octahedral edge (dBXE) shows increasing trend in both the Li-Mn and Li- Co ferrite systems.

Project funding is supposed t o be critical t o the succ ess of inf ormation s ys t ems developmen t and enactmen t. Howe ver , there is narrow research on the eff ect of vendor-based sponsorship on the managemen t of inf ormation t echnology (IT) projects.

A five-fingered robot hand having sixteen Degree of F reedom is developed. The robot hand is driven by a unique method using ultrasonic mot ors. All the componen ts are placed inside the hand because the ultrasonic mot ors have charact eris tic of high t orque at low speed and compact siz e. A five-fingered R obot hand is designed. Howe ver , it is not enough t o reproduce the motion of human hand, because the con ven tional hand has problem in respect t o degree of freedom and versatility . The fivefingered robot hand having siz e, shape and sixteen DOF is developed in this work.

Traditional urban centres had generally grown in an unplanned and spontaneous manner all over the world, triggering numerous problems in socio-economic and environmental dimensions. These problems are of common parlance world over but more acute in the third world countries like India. To overcome these problems, restructuring of old cities as well as establishment of new planned cities were noticed in India. Thus the urban geographers started to put their interest on it and analyze the negative and positive aspects of both planned and unplanned cities. The present paper takes an attempt to analyze the basic morphological characteristics of Kalyani, a modern planned new industrial township, built in 1960s in Nadia district.

he generation of the electrical energy was s t art ed with the Direct curren t (DC) power in lat e 18th cen t aury . So the firs t transmission s ys t em was DC transmission s ys t em. The DC transmission s ys t em was inefficien t because of the power losses in the transmission line, and the line losses were less in Alt ernating curren t (A C) transmission s ys t em. It was also possible t o transmit the A C power at the high volt age t o minimiz e the line losses. In the las t f our decades P ower Electronics wen t through various in ven tions, these made eas y the transmission of DC power at higher volt age with the minimum losses.

The aim of this s tudy is t o det ermine runoff depth of the Vijayawada city by Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method using remot e sensing and geographic inf ormation s ys t em (GIS). The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is widely used f or predicting direct runoff volume f or a given rainf all even t. The applicability of the SCS-CN method and the runoff generation mechanism were thoroughly analyz ed in Vijayawada. The region is charact eriz ed by a Medit erranean semi-arid climat e. While det ermining the results we need t o use various dat a sets such as sat ellit e image, 1:50000 s t andard t opographic map, and soil map dat a. St andard 1:50000 t opographic maps are used t o derive digit al elevation model.

Participation is both an activity and an attitude. As an activity it is a social activity. Someone taking a morning walk is not participating in anything. Someone taking part in a 100-meter race does. Someone staying in a neighborhood for a long time without knowing any of one's neighbors is not having a participant attitude. What then is political participation? Of course, we mean a kind of political activity and a kind of political attitude. Since the 50's however it has attracted widespread attention and there seems to be a general agreement among the Political Scientists on the value and necessity of further political participation. But this apparent agreement conceals major disputes both at the levels of political theory and practical politics. Before we explore these we should begin with the concept of political participation itself.

The pr esent study is based on exploring the link between brand building and the Pr omotional Campaigns. Companies ar e spending millions of rupees on these pr omotional Campaigns with an objective of build their brands thus this study is an attempt to study the connectivity between them. W ith this objective carbonated soft drink market was selected and various umbr ella / sub-brands of Pepsi along with their pr omotional Campaigns wer e studied to assess their contribution in the brand building pr ocess. Also the various parameters on which consumers evaluate a particular brand along with per ception of the consumers about these Pr omotional Campaigns wer e studied so to conclude that “Ar e they successful in changing the per ception of the consumers?” Finally , Pr omotion was studied br oadly and the various Pr omotional tools used by these companies wer e studied and the consumers wer e asked to rate these tools on a five point likert scale to assess the effectiveness in the brand building pr ocess. Thus findings of the study suggested that also to consider new Pr omotion strategies along with traditional methods of Pr omotion
