Subsequently, much of debate took place both in India and the US on issues related to granting special nuclear status to India and India joining a pro US camp. This deal has been viewed as a beginning of special relationship between India and the US. However, it took five years for the official start of first Indo-US strategic dialogue which took place at Washington during June 2010. Unfortunately, for all these years the other dimensions of this strategic relationship which were clearly articulated during July 2005 did not get much of publicity. This paper attempts to analyze various non nuclear dimensions of Indo-US strategic cooperation which include Economic Growth and Trade Promotion, Energy and the Environment, Democracy and Development, Non-Proliferation and Security and High Technology and Space.

This paper describes a novel incipient fault detection and fault localization method of TRU in the context of an aircraft electrical system. Results from Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) study identified diode failure as the primary reason for failure of TRU. The incipient fault detection of TRU is done by applying data fusion algorithm. The algorithm uses Hilbert transform as one of the computing tools to derive Health Index Parameter (HIP). Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and wavelet transforms were used for fault localization of the component within the TRU. The developed incipient fault detection method is validated on a TRU test rig. Though the test rig is configured on 50Hz supply the results can be read across on 400Hz supply. A scheme of communicating the fault status integrating ...

The particle size reduction of the as-synthesized sample was achieved through ball milling. The as-synthesized and the ball milled samples were further characterized using XRD, TEM, EDX, UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy. Open-aperture z-scan technique was employed to study the nonlinear optical behavior of the synthesized samples and the commercially available V2O5 (bulk) using a second harmonic (532 nm) of Nd: YAG laser with 15 ns pulse width. We observed that the nonlinear absorption process was dependent on particle size as the synthesized and ball milled nanoparticles exhibited saturable absorption behavior while bulk V2O5 exhibited a transition to reverse saturable absorption behavior at the same incident laser intensity.
