Well Known Indian Scientists Essays

“The scientific community should be allowed to study the 9,000-year- old human bones known as Kennewick Man, a 9th U.S.To put him back in the ground is like burning a rare book so we’ll learn nothing.The Anthropologists wish to further study the remains because they are one of the oldest, most well preserved and complete human remains ever to be found in the Western Hemisphere.The Kennewick Man controversy is one of the most well known federal court cases dealing with NAGPRA and Anthropological research.“All of the following requirements must be met to determine cultural affiliation between a present-day Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and the human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony ...

Indian doctors were the first to give inoculations to prevent diseases, and were well ahead of their European peers, who did not give vaccines for another 1,000 years.More proof of their advancement in medicine comes from their philosophy of it; like ancient Greek doctors, as well as the doctors of today, the doctors of the Gupta Empire used an ethical code similar to the Hippocratic oath, in which they pledged to be honest and moral in their practice of medicine.As well as advanced surgery and inoculations, the Indians of the Gupta Empire possessed medical guides much like those of today, such as the Bower Manuscript and the Hatyayurveda.Dawn of Indian Science: Volume Two.The people of the Gupta Empire were technologically very well dev...

This shook the establishment and rescued Dr Chandrasekhar as well as the two indigenous technologies.Two Indian Institute of Science scientists had developed the technology.In mid-90s, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, with its 42 institutions, was set on a path of pursuing discovery in a commercial mode and tied up with local Indian industry.When we talk and share dreams of a developed nation we fail to touch the basic reality and the ground issues of Indian science.P. K. Sandell, a technocrat, somehow succeeded in showing Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in her residence that using the Indian satellites colour TV could be transmitted across the country and all that was needed was to have low cost receiving stations to retr...

In ancient Indian mathematics was known by the general name of Ganita, which included arithmetic, geometry, algebra, astronomy and astrology.One of the chapters in the book Sidhanta Shiromani, dealing with mathematics, is the well-known work of Lilavait.One last great scientist was Bhaskara II.Zero was discovered by Indians in about the second century B. C. From the very beginning Indian mathematicians considered zero as a separate numeral, and it was used in this sense in arithmetic.The earliest inscription regarding the data by a system of nine digits and a zero is dated as 595 A. D. evidently the system was known to mathematicians some centuries before it was employed in inscriptions.

The categories of this system are based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature as well as precipitation.The Tropical zones include high temperatures as well as humidity levels.B – Dry Climates: it is well known that this type of climate has deficient precipitation nearly throughout the year.After that, the displaced water can cool or warm the air as well as the land over which this air passes.The currents of the surface are largely wind-driven, though the presence of continents, the rotation of the earth, as well as the oceans’ internal dynamics have a great influence.

The categories of this system are based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature as well as precipitation.“Convective overturning” occurs as well as the dense surface water mixes downwards especially when the surface water becomes denser than the underlying water.The Tropical zones include high temperatures as well as humidity levels.After that, the displaced water can cool or warm the air as well as the land over which this air passes.B – Dry Climates: it is well known that this type of climate has deficient precipitation nearly throughout the year.

He is considered as the Father of Indian Space Programme.During the period, it will send data to scientists.The scientists with the help of the data will study various aspects of moon, and will prepare a map of the moon.It was developed by the scientists of ISRO.Captain Rakesh Sharma was the first astronaut of India.

Even though Native Americans deserve the rights to the Kennewick Man, scientist have just as much rights to study Kennewick Man because the science that they will perform could uncover much truth of the past and scientist discoveries from this specimen could even help us human beings in the future to come.I believe that yes as disturbing as that may seem to have your grandmother’s remains to be studied upon by strangers (scientist), If it would be better for humanity to learn from her past and to even have discovered something that she had that could change life itself, then yes I would be okay for scientist to do their test on her.With the law suits that scientist have placed on the Native Americans of Kennewick Man, this act gives the ...

For example, a Middle Eastern person, who is not very accustomed to spicy food, might find jalapenos very spicy because of the amount of heat in jalapeno however an Indian may find it insufficiently spicy because they eat much spicier food at home.The subjective nature of perception has been known to obscure the nature of science and at the same time, work well for artists.Orange contains an acid called citric acid which has a high pH and is therefore a weak acid.“To what extent does the subjective nature of perception act as an advantage for artists and an obstacle that is to be overcome by scientists?” In the theory of knowledge, there are four ways of knowing: perception, reasoning, language and emotion.Acids are another example which...

The paper discusses work done by scientists in tracing the roots of the original Australian settlers.To find clues about the puzzle, the scientists used DNA analysis.A large disparity was also found between the Australian samples and the genetic make up around the Indian Ocean.They compared the genetic sequence of the aboriginal Australians to the known world DNA tree.Secondly, why did they choose mtDNA and the Y chromosome as the genetic sequences to compare?

He has agreed to deliver a minimum of four lectures every year.Kalam is the third President of India to have been honoured with a Bharat Ratna before being elected to the highest office, the other two being Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Zakir Hussain.[3] During his term as President, he was popularly known as the People’s President.The Government of India has honoured him with the nation’s highest civilian honours: the Padma Bhushan in 1981; Padma Vibhushan in 1990; and the Bharat Ratna in 1997 for his work with ISRO and DRDO and his role as a scientific advisor to the Indian government.[7] He is chancellor of Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (Thiruvanthapuram), a professor at Anna University (Chennai) and adjunct/visiting...

As a result, scientists began to seek an improved early alert system to detect tsunamis.In conclusion, NASA’s article provides an informative report on an important milestone in the development of a system that will not only help people across the earth prepare for natural disasters, but that also may lead to groundbreaking discoveries that could allow scientists to additional important discovers that can help us to better understand our planet .Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research are directing the project.Almost two years after the Indian Ocean earthquake, NASA’s Earth Observatory announced the development of a new seafloor pressure recording system that is designed to detect tsunamis shortly aft...

Within six years this colony that was thought to be in a good location will have disappeared; “John White set off back to England for food and relief.There are many different theories that many different people have compiled over the years including hostile Indians attacking the settlement.His men sang English songs, but there was no answer.Three years after the initial settlement was founded, in 1587, more English arrived this time there were one hundred and ten colonists that consisted not just of men, but of women and children as well.The next expedition to Roanoke was lead by “John White, a gifted amateur painter who kept a remarkable pictorial record of his experiences” (A Muse of Fire).

After setting up the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in 1998, Brahmachari led the scientists to pioneering studies on variations in Indian genetic composition.It has the capability of launching upto 10 satellites simultaneously and is well on its way to developing vehicles that can be reused after launch.High expectations can pose a challenge as well as opportunities to the business sectors.Indian agricultural scientists first hybridized Japanese rice varieties with Indian varieties.Thus, what we analyse from the above discussion is that Technological environment has both its concerned advantages and disadvantages on the Indian economy and the global economy as a whole.

The theorizing about doubt is known as samsayavada in Sanskrit.For empirical purposes epistemology works well ultimately it falls down.It will be an interesting as well as rewarding exercise to work this out.It is well known fact that the authors of Nyaya and vasihesika are Gautama and Kannada, it is difficult to say that whether the systems started separately or and being allied in general attitude and view point became mixed up in later ages or an original fund of floating Ideas.It is also different from pre-judgmental cognition known as nirvikalpaka pratyaksa in sanskrit.

It’s like my creation story how they talk about the “Good-Twin'; being the “Master of Life.then the creator gave us Indian life; we walked and as soon as we saw the game and the fish we knew they were made for us.Later scientist disproved this theory when more was learned more about genes and how they work.Here is a quote from chief Weneinock of Yakima “God created the Indian country and it was like he spread out a big blanket.Kinda like a good friend, he’s there when I’m down and when I am feeling good.

“India’s strength in frugal engineering and extremely affordable innovations is becoming known internationally.“India will not only see a surge in cloud computing services but companies all over the world will look to India to support their transition to cloud computing.” Steve Ballmer, CEO, MicrosoftCorporation .We expect a steady growth to continue due to the attractiveness of India in terms of the value proposition.“India’s share of revenue (in clinical research) has risen from 20 per cent in 2006 to 60 per cent in our present global revenue.It’s the “can do” attitude and hard work that’s wining the work.” Apurva Shah, Group Managing Director, Veeda Clinical Research .

Their study included the Pima Indian living in Mexico and the Pima Indians living in Arizona.Although the actual scientific cause may still remain a mystery for now, most scientist and doctors would agree that people should eat fewer simple starches and sugars along with routine exercise in order to stay healthy and reduce their chances of getting diabetes.Type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) also known as juvenile diabetes affects 5 to 10 percent of people with diabetes and usually starts at an early age.In another study still underway at the University of Cambridge, scientists are advocating additional research into the little understood links between environmental pollution and type 2 diabetes.Is Diabetes Linked to Environmental Pollut...

The Government must open doors for them to prove that they are equal to men.Empowerment will enable Indian women to hold the same position in any field and be treated on a par with men.Women must be encouraged to prove their mettle in every sphere.The following sectors show engagement of lowest percentage of women: Agriculture and Mining (18%) and Automotive (21%).India, our country, is well known for its cultural heritage, civilisation, religion and its geographical features.

Within countries as well, differing political movements support secularism for varying reasons.Solution: Bharatanatyam is a classical Indian dance form originating in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aedicules replaced the more complex proportional systems and irregular profiles of medieval building .In European laicism, it has been argued that secularism is a movement toward modernization, and away from traditional religious values (also known as secularization).Here is the latest State of the Internet Report from Akamai for Q1 2012, showing average and maximum connection speeds, Internet Penetration and...

and many of them practiced the method of trying to join Brahman through the method known as Moksha... Pre-existent cultures were different than that of the Indo-European migrants because the migrants who were known as the Aryans were nomadic and pastoral peoples.Some of the doctrines were known as samsara, which stated that an individual temporarily goes to the World of the Fathers and returns to earth in a new incarnation, and karma which explained the encounters of incarnated souls.Brahman was known as the eternal foundation for all things that exist, also the only reality which resulted in the goal of the Upanishads to reach the eternal reality with Brahman.At this time, the Harappan society was prosperous and well established.

PakSat-1 currently severing a number of regional customers including, TV broadcasters, telecom companies, data and broad band internet services providers as well as government organizations.It has an earth station that receives data from Indian remote sensing satellites, US-LANDSAT and NOAA, French SPOT and also acquires micro wave data from European remote sensing satellite (ERS).NRSA is also responsible for Indian institute at Dehradun.All these areas of concerns destabilized the integrity of Pakistan as well as other countries like Iran and China.Today Indian national satellite system (INSAT)and the Indian remote sensing satellite system (IRS)are the vital elements of national infra structure for telecommunication , television broad c...

Films by progressive female Indian directors such as Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta have revealed that Indian films are more than escapist fantasies, and can be simultaneously contemplative and entertaining.Many of the Indian immigrants to the US have been professionals – engineers, doctors, scientists, etc.During Presidential elections in the US, the Indian community is targeted by the candidates, which is also a reflection of the clout that this community enjoys.Guyana, Mauritius, Fiji, Tobago, Trinidad, Singapore and many other countries at some point or the other have experienced the leadership of a person of Indian origin.Mr. Yashwant Sinha, according to C. Raja Mohan, pointed out that, “people of Indian origin are extremely important so...

He set up the Bose Temple of Learning in Calcutta in 1917 which trains international scientists even today.They acknowledged only an Indian mind could have come up with this kind of insight, and that this discovery could revolutionize scientific thinking itself.But even today he makes news.Yet a few among his peers in the international community of scientists greatly admired his work.In May 1901, Bose wrote to his friend, the famed Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore: “… the proprietor of a reputed telegraph company… came himself with a Patent form in hand… He proposed to take half of the profit and finance the business in the bargain.
