The document discusses electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from sources like mobile phones and their potential health effects. It summarizes research from the World Health Organization's International EMF Project which found that EMFs from 0-300 GHz do not cause any known health issues. However, some studies have proposed potential thermal and non-thermal effects, though more research is still needed and no direct health hazards have been proven. The document recommends precautionary measures to reduce exposure but concludes that long term mobile phone use has not been definitively linked to health risks.
1) Analysis of student test results from DBE 2 and control schools found that over 75% of students met standards in language and science, but only about 35% met standards in math in both grade 3 and 6.
2) The percentage of students exceeding language standards dropped dramatically from 69.4% in grade 3 to 7.1% in grade 6, and the percentage below standards increased from 5.4% to 21.5%.
3) DBE 2 programming helped narrow the gender gap in math performance, with an 8% difference favoring girls in grade 6 in 2008/09, compared to a 21% difference favoring boys in 2006/07 before DBE 2.

This document provides recommendations for a Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Policy in India. It notes that telecom infrastructure is critical for socioeconomic development but India currently imports a major share of its telecom equipment. The document aims to develop a policy framework to promote domestic manufacturing in order to capture more of the economic benefits of telecom growth for India. It outlines the rapid growth India has experienced in telecom connections and estimates that connections will exceed 5 billion by 2020. This will drive significant investment in networks and require vast amounts of telecom equipment. The document recommends measures to promote both domestic manufacturing of full products and component manufacturing to make India more self-reliant in telecom infrastructure and capture more value locally from the country's telecom growth

Information Preserving Color Transformation for Protanopia and Deuteranopia (...Jia-Bin Huang

This document proposes a new method for recoloring images to make them more comprehensible for those with protanopia and deuteranopia, two types of color blindness. The method aims to preserve color information in the original images while maintaining natural-looking recolored images. It introduces two error functions to measure information preservation and naturalness, which are combined into an objective function using Lagrange multipliers. This function is minimized to obtain optimal color transformation settings. Experimental results show the method can generate more understandable images for those with color deficiencies while keeping recolored images natural-looking for those with normal vision.
