PARAM is a series of supercomputers developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Pune, India. The latest machine in the series is the PARAM Padma. Others include PARAM 10000 and PARAM 9000/SS. The PARAM 10000 was India's first TFLOPS computer. The success of PARAM can be seen as a great example as how restrictions of scientific knowledge turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The USA's supercomputing hardware embargo of India in the early 80s forced the Indian scientists to independentl ...

Our love and concern for animals emerge out of two basic postulates of Indian philosophy. One, that like us, every plant and living being is the ansha or part of the one Param Brahma, the Omnipotent One, and two, that born of the one earth mother all of them have equal right on all resources. So they are like our own siblings. All life forms have a symbiotic relationship - we are all linked together and our actions are bound to have an effect on our environment and other living beings.

The film bears significant resemblance, in both its plot and characters, to a little-known Hollywood musical, The Phantom President (1932), which starred the Broadway song-and-dance-man George M. Cohan in the dual role of the cold, corrupt politician and his charming, idealistic double. Claudette Colbert played his politically savvy bride-to-be, and Jimmy Durante was his razzle-dazzle campaign manager. The film included songs by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. The Param ...

Functional programming can be contrasted with imperative programming. Functional programming appears to be missing several constructs often (though incorrectly) considered essential to an imperative language such as C or Pascal. For example, in strict functional programming, there is no explicit memory allocation and no explicit variable assignment. However, these operations occur automatically when a function is invoked: memory allocation occurs to create space for the parameters and the return value, and assignment occurs to copy the param ...

In the United States, EMTs are certified according to their level of training. Individual states set their own standards of certification (or licensure, in some cases). All EMT training must meet the minimum requirements as set forth in the U.S. Department of Transportation's standards for the EMT-B (Emergency Medical Technician - Basic) curriculum. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), a voluntary standards and testing body, recognizes three levels of EMT: EMT-B (Basic), EMT-I (Intermediate) and EMT-P (Param ...

Topologically, the boundary of a Möbius strip is a circle. Under the usual embeddings of the strip in Euclidean space, as above, this boundary is not round. It is a common misconception that a Möbius strip cannot be embedded in three-dimensions so that the boundary is a round circle. In fact this is possible. To see this, first consider such an embedding into the 3-sphere S3 regarded as a subset of R4. A param ...
