HOW TO CONDUCT MODERN SWAYAMVARA

    


     The 'swayamvara' is still conducted by some cultures in India.  In this event, the bride and groom choose their life partner by themselves on the spot.  We can modify this event using the 'Algorithm' and conduct it successfully according to modern needs.

Description of Algorithm:
1. We select 100 prospective brides and 100 grooms.  An equal number is a must.
2. We send all the info. about 100 girls to each boy.  We also send info. about all the boys to each girl.
3. We ask each girl and boy to rank his or her candidates according to their preference (from best to worst).
4. We mark a day; invite people and assemble all the 200 future husbands and wives there.  It is a large empty hall, separated into halves by a tied long rope.  One side boys and the other side girls.  Now, the stage is set.
5. Men are always proposers and women are acceptors.  We ask all the gentlemen to go to the women's side and propose to their best choice or top rankers in their list.
6. What will happen?  Most men may crowd around a particular girl and propose.  A few men will scatter and go to some other girls.  Some girls may accept the proposals according to their ranks.  Some men may get rejected,  Those men whose proposals are accepted are said to be provisionally engaged. And they are eliminated from the session.  That is the first round.
7. All the men who are not engaged are allowed to propose in the next round to their next choices.  But all the 100 girls will be there.  If the girls get a better choice than the current partner, they can 'trade it off'.  That is, they can reject the current partner and engage the new proposer.  The rejected men can once again join the session.
8.  The above process is repeated again and again (round after round) until all are engaged.

    The algorithm guarantees that 'everyone gets married'.  The marriages are stable and cheating is not possible.
    This procedure is called the Gale-shapely algorithm and also known as the 'deferred acceptance algorithm'.  This algorithm can also be used for selecting room-mates, colleges, hospitals, etc.
    This is the scientific -way to conduct 'match-making event' -"Swayamvara".

    Rejections may affect the confidence of the people participating and too many proposals might increase the personal ego from person to person. Too pro-modern for an Indian setup but complete online methodology might work instead of a f2f setup. The algorithm might apply for non personal models like room allotments or room-mates but human emotions might get affected in the process and may cause chaos. Nice thinking

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
