“NRC se Azadi”: Process, Chronology, and a Paper Monster

Where SE and HCI Meet: A Position Paper

One way to remedy the gap that currently exists between software engineering and human computer interaction is to expose undergraduate students to the ideas, concepts, processes, methodologies and jargon of each field of endeavor. In teaching both software engineering and human computer interaction courses to undergraduates, I have found places where topics from one disciple can be inserted int...

A Double-Headed Monster

A Monster Lie Algebra ?

We define a remarkable Lie algebra of infinite dimension, and conjecture that it may be related to the Fischer-Griess Monster group. The idea was mooted in [C-N] that there might be an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra (or superalgebra) L that in some sense “explains” the Fischer-Griess ‘Monster” group M . In this chapter we produce some candidates for L based on properties of the Leech lattice ...

A Double-Headed Monster

A double-headed monster was born in the Railway Hospital, Samastipur, on 5th July, 1948. It is an interesting case because of its rarity; the photograph (plate XXII) tells its own story. Dr. Mody, in his jurisprudence, gives a picture of such monster without any detail. The woman was a sweeper by caste, second para, and fairly well built.
