In this new era, modernization plays a key role. Many human tasks are now being replaced with innovations and robots. There is an urge to handle modern technology. Only a few are interested in climbing trees due to many disparities faced by hikers but demand high pay. This results in a tremendous demand for tree climbing manpower. There are different approaches available for the climbing of coconut trees, however, they require people to accompany the mechanical structure. The idea of a smart remote-controlled tree climbing mechanism is proposed to make the climbing process easier and convenient. Coconut tree climber is a machine used without human effort to climb coconut trees and harvest coconut. It consists of a hexagonal frame holding all the devices inside it and by adjusting the driver circuit, the complete structure can be driven up and down. This mechanical frame set-up is made of lightweight material. Gear motors are powered by the driver circuit wherein the battery supplies. The treewidth usually differs between 45 cm and 55 cm. By considering the tree structure the frame size is designed accordingly. Since width changes between trees, the mechanical frame is constructed with various diameters using spring mechanism. Grip wheels are used to produce friction. Gear motors are used which produces small quantity of regeneration. The battery can store this energy and reuse it. The Robotic arm is placed on the mechanical frame to pick the coconut without any crew from the tree. The machine's cost is about ₹ 20k. This automated remotecontrolled coconut climber is supposed to be very obligatory for farmers.

Ancient Goa was reclaimed from the marshy deltas by remnants of the Saraswat Civilization who settled there and brought with them their ancient technology. We need to learn from these ancient structures that have survived nearly 8000 years and therefore are truly sustainable. Their construction method needs to be replicated to help India’s growing infrastructure demand and lowland reclamation. They use renewable, locally available materials like Soil, Lime, Ash, Cowdung and Straw. They are multi functional: habitation, irrigation, pisiculture, agriculture, rainwater harvesting, infrastructure etc. they possess a stable shape. They save at an average 80% more space than standard embankments. A 6-8% mix of Lime and Coconut Leaf Ash gave best results for soil stabilization. They have good slope stability with a factor of safety of more than 1.5. They have no seepage problems. The self-repairing sustainable coconut tree root system provided 20% more shear strength and seismic stability. As they have already existed for many years they are already undergone settlement and consolidation. This is green engineering that has scope for ancient technology aiding modern technology and spurring India’s growth in it race for international primacy as a technological superpower.

Emperor Menelik's reign (1889–1913) opens a new era in the kind of sources that the historian has at his disposal for the analysis of modern Ethiopian history. During his reign printing presses were set up in the country and spurred a gradual growth in the more widespread use of Amharic, not just as the spoken but also the written language of the imperial court. This is not to say that the Gә'әz literary tradition in Ethiopia disappeared altogether, for some chronicles in Gә'әz continued to be written after 1935, often very similar in form and content to those which have survived for the Gondarine and earlier periods of Ethiopian history. However, Menelik's reign, and the official chronicle of it by Gäbrä Sәllase, mark a significant departure, not least because the chronicle was written in Amharic and not in Gә'әz. There are a few earlier published literary works in Amharic, the songs of the kings of the fourteenth century being the most significant, but it should be emphasized that the Gә'әz tradition continued parallel to the Amharic in the form of tarikä nägäst, i.e the history of kings. Some of these are now preserved at the Institute of Ethiopian Studies at Addis Ababa, like the Gondarine tarikä nägäst which belonged to Nәgus Wäldä Giyorgis, the valuable biography of the grandson of Emperor Tewodros (1855–68), Mäšäša, and a published biography of Ras Makonnen.

Telemedicine is modern technology that is employed to provide low cost, high standard medical facilities to the people of remote areas. Store-and-Forward method of telemedicine suits more to the progressive countries like Pakistan as not only is it easy to set up but it also has a very cheap operating cost. However, the high response time taken by store & forward telemedicine becomes a critical factor in emergency cases, where each minute has a price. The response time factor can be overcome by using virtual telemedicine approach. In virtual telemedicine, a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is deployed at rural station. The CDSS is intelligent enough to diagnose a patient’s disease and prescribe proper medication. In case the CDSS cannot answer a query, the CDSS immediately sends an e-mail to a medical expert (doctor), and when the response is received, the CDSS knowledge-base is updated for future queries. In this chapter, the authors not only report a NL-based CDSS that can answer NL queries, but also present a complete architecture of a virtual telemedicine setup.

The increase in the number and tonnage of modern vessels, the large differences in their handling qualities, the dimensions of straits and ports, and consequently navigation difficulties encountered in poor visibility, have led the authorities involved to set up control centres responsible for the functions of traffic regulation and aids to navigation. Several systems ensuring these functions have been set up over the last few years or are currently under way. Using modern technology these systems meet a wide range of operational requirements and are characterized by extensive modularity, allowing system implementation in successive stages.

The Basque School, as well as a type of school, is an educational phenomenon that emerged and underwent most of its development during the twentieth century. Some initial confusion existed between the terms “Basque school,” “bilingual school” and “ikastola,” due to the undefined nature of the Basque model of schooling during this early period. These schools introduced a new model of education and pursued a common aim: to restore the Basque language and culture. Past research on ikastolas during the time of the Republic shows that the choice of term varied in Navarre according to the school's geographical location. Though there had been earlier initiatives, the Basque schools appeared in Navarra with the advent of Spain's Second Republic in 1931 and survived until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. During the Franco regime, Basques attempted to restart the educational project throughout the whole of Spanish Basque Country. Navarra's first ikastola of this new era was set up in 1963, giving rise to an educational movement that continues to maintain a strong impetus in the new millennium and has become a point of reference for both linguists and educationalists.

Janet Browne, Charles Darwin Voyaging . Volume 1 of a Biography. Jonathan Cape, London, 1995. Pp. xiii + 605, 86 illustrations and maps, £25. ISBN 0 224 04202 5 A new era has opened for biographers of Charles Darwin with the prospective availability of the whole of his extant correspondence, meticulously edited by the members of the Darwin Correspondence Project at the Cambridge University Library, set up in 1975 by Frederick Burkhardt and Sydney Smith. Nine volumes have been published so far, covering the years from 1821 to 1861, and the remaining 10,000 letters listed in A Calendar of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin are planned to follow in future volumes at intervals of about 10 months. Janet Browne, as one of the original Assistant Editors of the Project, was in a good position to take advantage of the hitherto untapped evidence in many of Darwin’s personal and scientific letters, and has made very effective use of it in writing the first instalment of a biography that covers the initial development of his thinking about evolution in a much more satisfactory fashion than any of its predecessors.

This paper presents the results of a foresight study examining the future knowledge, skills, and competencies required by quality professionals to meet the goals and objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030. The study aims to develop a methodology allowing the forecasting of skills and competency demands in the future. Data collection was conducted through the design of a web-based questionnaire that was distributed online to academic and quality management specialists in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of four sections and forty items aiming to identify the necessary competencies that quality professionals should develop to deal with the changing business environments. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha and the data were analyzed using descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation). One-way ANOVA method was also used to test the significant differences in participants’ attitudes. The results of the study clearly emphasize on the emerging need for new effective skills to face this new era of the rapid pace of technological changes. The outcomes of this study may be used by policy-makers, local authorities, employers, academics, and researchers to set up future-oriented education and training policies to bridge the gap between skills demand and supply which arises out of labor market changes.

Objective The search for an effective and long-lasting strategy to treat osteochondral defects (OCD) is a great challenge. Regenerative medicine launched a new era of research in orthopaedics for restoring normal tissue functions. The aim of this study was to test the healing potential of Rigenera micrografting technology in a rat model of OCD by investigating 2 cartilage donor sites. Methods Full-thickness OCD was bilaterally created in the knee joints of rats. Animals were randomly divided into 2 groups based on the anatomical site used for micrograft collection: articular (TO) and xiphoid (XA). Micrograft was injected into the knee via an intra-articular approach. The contralateral joint served as the control. Euthanasia was performed 2 months after the set-up of OCD. Histological evaluations foresaw hematoxylin/eosin and safranin-O/fast green staining, the modified O’Driscoll score, and collagen 1A1 and 2A1 immunostaining. Kruskal-Wallis and the post hoc Dunn test were performed to evaluate differences among groups. Results Histological results showed defect filling in both autologous micrografts. The TO group displayed tissue repair with more hyaline-like characteristics than its control ( P < 0.01). A fibrocartilaginous aspect was instead noticed in the XA group. Immunohistochemical assessments on type 2A1 and type 1 collagens confirmed the best histological results in the TO group. Conclusions TO and XA groups contributed to a different extent to fill the OCD lesions. TO group provided the best histological and immunohistochemical results; therefore, it could be a promising method to treat OCD after the validation in a larger animal model.

In colleges, dance teaching is influenced by a variety of factors. It is very difficult to clarify how much each factor impacts the teaching effect. To overcome the difficulty, this paper explores the factors affecting the dance teaching effect in colleges based on data analysis and decision tree model. Firstly, the authors enumerated the goals of dance teaching for college students in the new era, and then summed up the constraints on the influencing factors of dance teaching effect in colleges. On this basis, an analysis model was established for the influencing factors, while the corresponding extensible decision tree was set up and verified through example analysis. The research findings shed new light on the theories of dance teaching in colleges, and provide an analysis model with great application potential.

modern society entirely depends on electricity for daily life. It has become the key component for modern technology, without electricity most of the equipments which we are using daily will not work at all. Internet is our gateway for knowledge and we also depend on it a lot to get the things which are surrounding us very easily. Under this situation we are not using proper electrical energy in case of street lights. Street lights are perfect solution for night base loads at most of the utility companies during 1930’s were seeking for night timed base loads especially coal based power plants. In India approximately 40 million street lights are there which will generates a total demand of 4000 MW. The cost required to satisfy this demand will also very high. In most of the places maintenance of street lights is very poor. Even though several technologies have used to automatic control of street light but they may turn into several failures because of high cost, improper maintenance, environmental effects on the components or some other major issues. In this paper a low cost maintenance free automatic street light control system is proposed which can be used with relay al well as without relay by using basic electronics components. A small experimental set up has done in laboratory and it can be concluded that the street light automatically turns on and off depends on the darkness of the environment. It can be implemented anywhere irrespective of environmental conditions without any maintenance
