Is plea bargaining, synonymous to pleading guilty. Day by day, partakers in criminal justice system are either in confusion or in an intellectual debate on the innovative changes in sentencing system under the Indian Criminal jurisprudence. Of course, root cause is the introduction of Chapter XXIA, in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, containing Sections 265 A to 265L, which deal with plea ...

A prospective study was carried out to establish normative data for splenic dimensions in North Indian population and their correlation with physical standard on abdominal CT of 21 patients aged between 20 and 70 years having no splenic disorders. Splenic volume was measured by two methods-volume and surface rendering technique of Able 3D doctor software and prolate ellipsoid formula. Volumes m...

Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are used frequently in natural languages, but understanding the diversity in MWEs is one of the open problem in the area of Natural Language Processing. In the context of Indian languages, MWEs play an important role. In this paper, we present MWEs annotation dataset created for Indian languages viz., Hindi and Marathi. We extract possible MWE candidates using two r...

In this study, an artificial neural network was developed in order to analyze flexible pavement structure and determine its critical responses under the influence of standard axle loading. In doing so, more than 10000 four-layered flexible pavement sections composed of asphalt concrete layer, base layer, subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the impact of standard axle loading. P...

Measurements of differential cross sections for deep inelastic ep neutral-current (NC) and charged-current (CC) reactions are presented using data taken during the 1994–97 ep and the 1998–99 e−p running periods. The structure function xF3 has been extracted combining NC e−p and ep data sets. Both the measured cross sections and xF3 are well described by the standard model predictions using stan...

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is highly accuracy-demanded application for car identification. This paper presents a new method of block-based ANPR system for recognition of Indian car license number plates. Since number plate guidelines are not strictly practiced in India and wide variations found on these plates in terms of font type, character size, screws/dots etc., it oft...

OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes is a major public health problem among many American Indian/Alaska Native communities. Elevated levels of HbA(1c) have been observed in younger American Indian/Alaska Native adults. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine whether HbA(1c) levels were elevated among younger American Indian/Alaska Native adults nationally and, if so, 2) to determine the relatio...

Machine transliteration is used in a number of NLP applications ranging from machine translation and information retrieval to input mechanisms for non-roman scripts. Many popular Input Method Editors for Indian languages, like Baraha, Akshara, Quillpad etc, use back-transliteration as a mechanism to allow users to input text in a number of Indian language. The lack of a standard dataset to eval...

Navya-Nyāya is an early modern Indian system of philosophical analysis. It was founded by Udayana (c. 1050 CE), developed by Gaṅgeśa (c. 1200 CE), and reached its peak in the works of authors including Raghunātha (c. 1500 CE), Jagad̄ı́sa (c. 1600 CE) and Gadādhara (c. 1650 CE). The school is notable for its development of a technical language, by means of which it clarified many philosophical que...
