The results of the time use survey of the NSSO reveal expected but nonetheless striking results about how men and women in India spend their time very differently, with women hugely burdened by unpaid work.
The recently conceived Randić energy (RE) is examined, and its relation to the (earlier much studied) total π-electron energy (E) is investigated. Within classes of molecular graphs, there exists a relatively good (increasing) linear correlation between RE and E. However, several significant differences between the structure-dependencies of RE and...
We have studied the origin of the striking rotational excitation probability, found experimentally, for D2 upon scattering from a organic-terminated Si(111) surface.

... To project itself as a global power, India is also aspiring to become the permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) alongside other P-5 states. 7 These Indian hegemonic ambitions risk marginalizing regional states merely to a status of Indian stooges. Pakistan never accepted the Indian role of a policeman in the region as this defied the principle of regional equality and national sovereignty. ...
India is seeking the status of a global power. Any step taken by India to strengthen its defence poses a security dilemma for its neighbours. Pakistan, being a security conscious state, has had to restore the balance of power, whenever India offset the equation. Indian quest to develop BMDs alongside its ambitious nuclear and missile program has triggered a missile race in South Asia which risks destabilizing the regional equilibrium. The US decision to make India a net security provider in the region and Indian acquisition of high-tech military hardware has become the driving force promoting Indian domination in the region. These developments warrant an objective analysis of the situation to evaluate the growing risks to regional security particularly the accelerating missile race in South Asia. If the strategic partnership between India and the US continues to grow at the expense of other states' security, Pakistan shall have to look at the option of formalizing defence ties with China besides regional integration with other states.
With the induction of new weapon systems in South Asia, notably BMDs, the region would gradually become prone to risk of war especially due to unresolved disputes, notably Kashmir. The sporadic events of violence and state terrorism in Indian Held Kashmir, as have been witnessed in past few months, pose serious threat to a major chuck of the entire world population. Due to mutual hostility and suspicion, role of international community, especially the major powers, would remain critical in facilitating the bilateral peace between the South Asian nuclear rivals or else possibility of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan would keep the populace of this region hostage to the nuclear radiation effects around the globe.
