Brahmos, the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile created history on today after it was successfully flight- tested for the first time from the IAF’s frontline fighter aircraft Sukhoi-30MKI against a sea-based target in the Bay of Bengal.

The armed forces are now capable of launching the Brahmos, which has a strike range of around 290 km and is described as the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile, from land, sea and air, completing the tactical cruise missile triad for the country.

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles.

Lines of latitude are imaginary reference lines that describe how far north or south a location on the Earth is from the Equator. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.

Paper production is basically a two-step process in which a fibrous raw material is first converted into pulp, and then the pulp is converted into paper. The harvestedwood is first processed so that the fibres are separated from the unusable fraction of the wood, the lignin. Pulp making can be done mechanically or chemically. In the chemical pulping process, alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide in the form of a lye or caustic soda) is usually used to remove the lignin that binds the fibres. So, for degumming of raw material, caustic soda is used.

Salivary glands of man are 3 pairs = 6. They are one pair of parotid glands, one pair of sub-maxillary or sub-mandibular glands and one pair of sub-lingual glands.

Chloroplasts use energy from light to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.

A green pigment located in membranes within the chloroplasts of plants and algae and in the membranes of certain prokaryotes.

Use the concept of register-retiming.

divide the totla combinatorial delay in two segments such that individually the delay is less the clock period.

this can be done by inserting a flip-flop in the combinational path.

e.g.,

clock period --- 5 ns

total cominational delay ---- 7

then divide the 7ns path in two path of 4 or 3 (best resutls are obtained if delays are  same for both path i.e 3.5ns) by inserting a flip-flop in between.
