Abstract: The main intent of this paper is to look into how modernism has drastically affected our modern day cities and how over time all the cities lose their character and appear the same despite its geographical locations and the rich history they hold. Modernism completely changed the face of earth and made all the cities appear the same in the end of the day. It has made us forget about our rich past and the memories we have of these cities are not of what the city actually was. We have lost the connection we once had with the cities and also there is no longer the feel of sense of belonging with any of these

Abstract: In recent year as the complexity of Integrated circuits increases the physical design complexity also increases. As the technology advances the Integrated circuits are expected to be low area as possible. To reduce area of total chip, we use some efficient algorithms for floorplan. A floorplan optimization is usually about placing all modules inside a partition so that the total area of block should be less as possible, to get the solution for this NP hard problem we use some meta-heuristic algorithms such as Simulated annealing(SA), Particle swarm optimization(PSO), Ant colony optimization(ACO), Genetic algorithm(GA) etc.

Abstract: Most common cancer among the women is breast cancer, it contributes about 30% all the cancer patients. Amazingly it very rare in men, it effects only 1% of all cancers in men. About 10% of breast cancers are genetically inherited, due to inherited germ-line mutations in high penetrance moderate penetrance and low penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes. The remaining 90% of breast cancers are due to acquired somatic genetic and epigenetic alterations. There are many genes that are responsible for the breast cancer. For analyzing whether common variants linked to differential allelic expression, a list of genes are established on the basis of their involvement in cancer related pathways and mechanisms.
