Abstract:Don DeLillo is considered one of the great postmodern writers due to his fine depiction of various postmodern elements in his novels. His works have essence of the ‘good old days’, which reminds of the modern era in this postmodern world. His plot construction is such that his characters are not something new, but relatable who live in this image driven and commoditised world and look for reassurance from the previous generation. The various happenings that include moments of spiritualism, or sharing intimate thoughts with each other is an obvious sign of nostalgia, for the old world. There is a constant yearning to understand the meaning of life beyond the daily activities of consumption and white noise that keeps the person engaged in its sphere. Don DeLillo showcases very minutely through ordinary and regular source that are around us on regular basis. There are variouspostmodern features that are employed in his novels, like the major one is: influence of technology, on humans and daily life that has changed the present world fundamentally.

Keywords:white noise, spiritual, nostalgia, commodity.

Abstract:The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster, written between 1985 and 1987, has been cited as an example of postmodern literature. The theme of complex identity is a recurring theme in his novels, and they can be read as an exploration of identity issues in the postmodern era, where the concept of the autonomous subject has given way to a concept of subject and identity marked by uncertainty and ambiguity. And in the realm of narrative fiction, the characters identities are mainly formed by narrative discourse. Identity can be seen “as one construct within the abstracted story, can be described in terms of a network of character traits.” (Shlomith 1983, 59) particularly in postmodern fiction. The importance of narration for establishing identification as well as depicting literary character is an intriguing feature of the study of characters in Auster's works. Furthermore, Rimmon-Kenan Shlomith goes on to identify the primary means of constructing a character in narrative literature, such as direct description, indirect presentation (action, expression, exterior appearance, and environment), and reinforcement by comparison (which is subdivided into analogous names, analogous landscapes, and analogy between characters) in his work dedicated to contemporary poetics. (2002, 59-71) According to sociologist Anthony Giddens, a person's identity can be found" in the capacity to keep a particular narrative going" (1991, 54). Auster sets the characters against a traumatic/post-traumatic backdrop, with the aim of portraying as much of the fantasizing traumatized subject as possible, as well as his reaction to the context in which he is put.

Abstract:The project aims at developing a criminal management system that will be capable of working online and which is effortlessly approachable to the police department along with all the other residents of the country also. The residents of the country can file the F.I.R. online and their F.I.R. will get registered in the nearby police station through centralized data handling. To keep away the fake users, system will make use of O.T.P. generation and QR code technique. Also, to access the previous records of the criminals correctly, system will use biometrics and images of the criminals for accuracy. The system also generates the report of crime rate in a particular area through statistical analysis of crime rate. It enables the interstation communication in real time for reduced time consumption. We intend to make a system which overcomes the shortcomings of primitive manual criminal management system and make it run parallel to the developing world.

Abstract:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the main reasons behind death all throughout the world these days. The term “chronic kidney disease” signifies enduring damage to the kidneys that can deteriorate over the long run. On the off chance that the damage is very terrible, then kidney may quit working. This is called End stage renal failure. The prediction of CKD is perhaps the most significant and challenging issues in medical services examination. To acquire the hidden data from the given dataset, data mining is utilized to settle on the decisions. Big data is the latest advancement used to store and deal with voluminous data and that data can be organized data, unstructured data and semi-organized data. This paper aims to assist in the prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) classifier in the medical domain.

Abstract:Accurate detection of diabetic macular edema (DME) is a crucial task in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the attention. Age-related degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema disease are the leading causes of blindness being diagnosed. Fully automating OCT image detection can significantly decrease the tedious clinician labour and acquire a faithful pre- diagnosis from the analysis of the structural elements of the retina. Deep learning techniques are often applied within the prediction of the attention disease. The goal of this project is to optimize the hyperparameters of CNN model. During this work a study has been administered using grid search and random search optimization algorithms in tuning the hyperparameters of CNN model. The analysis done by evaluating the performance of those algorithms on classification of retinal disease.
