Abstract: This paper describes Implementation of analog modulation techniques to minimize the error at demodulation using TMS320C6748 kit through Code Composer Studio and LabVIEW. Literature survey clearly shows that few papers described about modulation techniques in LabVIEW only. The main objective of our paper is to perform demodulation using LabVIEW and also realize both modulation and demodulation using C6748 kit. The modulation techniques used for discussion are Amplitude and Frequency Modulation followed by demodulation.........

Abstract: NEO FFI are limited to a few studies because It is constructed to measure only 5 factors of personality like Neuroticism, , Extraversion, Openness to experience, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. But for advance study and research multidimensional factors of human beings should be measured. So there is a need for preparing new rating scale which can measure 5 aspects of human beings like Mental health, Emotional intelligence, Self esteem, Personality and Achievement motivation.........

Abstract: Both 'Love and Violence' are the soul of Tagore's work that is why Tagore is called a 'poet of Love'. There are no feelings of being higher or lower in the business of love. Because love frees a man of his self and when self is liberated there is no ego, no pride and no self-consciousness. Tagore's view of Love is based on the divine concept of unity. He equates love to Joy that in turn is equated to God. The infinite can be attained through endless means of activities found in joy and love. His 'Sadhana' contains hues and colours attaining realization of life. Through the message of love and nonviolence in his work, Tagore has always been in the quest for world's peace. He denounces 'idolatry of nation' and asks love for living creatures.
