Research Analysis on Materials Which Improve the Performance of Military Clothing

Bharatbook.com included “Developments in military clothing, 2008 edition” report which provides aesthetic appeal of military clothing and its impact on soldier morale

Military clothing is an integral part of a soldier’s fighting kit. It plays a key role in protecting soldiers  during combat, and must therefore perform several functions in the most rugged of wearing conditions.  At the same time, it must remain durable.

Developments in military clothing have been driven mainly by changes in the ways in which wars are  fought. Because modern warfare is more likely to take place in congested urban streets than on  battlefields, today’s military clothing has an appearance and performance characteristics which  contrast sharply with those of uniforms worn by soldiers fighting in the trenches during the First  World War.

Since the terrorist attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001 (9/11), and the consequent war on  terror, the demand for military clothing, body armour and other military equipment has risen sharply.  In turn, this rise has greatly benefited a number of clothing manufacturers in the Western world.

The ever present threat of terrorism has raised concerns about the vulnerability of military forces in  general, and troops in war zones in particular. Governments around the world have sharpened their  focus on military preparedness—including how best to clothe and equip their countries’ soldiers. They  have invested heavily in the development of military uniforms which improve a soldier’s performance  and comfort and offer the potential to save lives during combat.

As a result, developments in military clothing are being made today at a faster pace than at any time  in history. New battledress concepts which harness nanotechnology and other advanced technologies  have been devised with a view to helping the performance of soldiers on the battlefield by improving  their ballistic protection, reducing the weight they carry, optimising their camouflage and amplifying  their physical strength.

For the future, scientists have designed concepts for highly advanced multi-functional combat wear.  However, it many take several years before these technological breakthroughs can be translated into  wearable products.

Funding for Science

No country is against the development of science and scientific research.

It has been recognized by everyone that without science there is no development.

Therefore, promotion of scientific research in all area is taken up seriously.

Research both in basic and applied sciences is essential to achieve national and international developments.

In fact, basic science is costly as compared to the applied science.

In a recent article on science for sustainable development published in Current Science (Curr. Sci.) Dr. I. P. Abrol mentioned that low level of funding is frequently cited as one of the major factors for the declining state of science in India.

Not only Dr. Abrol, many other Indian scientists used to tell the same ‘low level funding’ for the poor science in India.

It was the state of affair once, but now the situation is considerable improved.

All branches of science, agriculture, engineering, medicine, veterinary, biotechnology, nanotechnology, information technology do not suffer from ‘low level of funding’ nowadays.

In fact, most of the research institutions are not able to spend the allocated fund for scientific research in time.

Anyway much of the fund goes for salaries, some for the upkeep of the building and other infrastructures and the rest only is used for scientific research.

In the name of research projects funded by various foreign agencies and also the Government of India itself, amounts to over funding sometimes.

I still remember some of the World Bank funded projects in Agricultural Sciences.

Crores of rupees allotted to Agricultural Universities and National Agricultural Research Institutes.

In addition to it large number of projects in the name of National Fellows and Professor of Eminence are also in place.

Plenty of money for science, but no one appears to appreciate these good days of science.

We are certainly well off as far as the funding position for science is concerned.

We all know that the project fund is mostly spent for buying costly equipments which are invariably imported from foreign countries.

These instruments cost lakhs of rupees.

So, there are series of procedures to be followed for buying these equipments.

Tenders are called, opened, compared, placed orders, credited the amount in a bank and finally received the instruments.

Sometimes the scientist who placed order forgets to include a small piece of accessory for operating or maintaining the instrument.

While the instrument is installed, such mistakes are found out and intimated to the scientist by the installing engineers of the Sales Company.

They start thinking about the mistake so late and make a representation to the funding agency to sanction additional amount required for the missed accessory.

It take awful lot of time to get a positive reply, till then the instrument remains as a dead elephant in a corner of the laboratory which are not generally rat-proof and not even air- conditioned.

By that time the sanction for the additional amount reaches, and the accessory bought, the main instrument is damaged by rats which are fond of the pleasant smell of the plastic wires and chips attached within the instrument.

What I describe here may look like a story, but it is really not a fiction, but a fact which is always untold, kept secret and hidden.

Generally, no one question our scientists because they are in a higher scale of pay and position enjoying the perquisites offered by the government.

By that time, the senior scientist either retires or gets transferred to another institute.

The poor equipment becomes an orphan and no one takes care of it in that non-working condition.

Thus the fund for science is wasted once for all.

These dreams are known to the administrative officers and the comptrollers.

They try to underestimate the credibility of the scientists.

But that is generally taken as professional jealousy.

Anyway this is one side of the whole affair.

In the other side, the allotted fund is not properly released to the scientist to spend for his project unless and until he meets the administrative rules for buying the equipment.

If the Director or the administrative officer does not like a particular scientist, then the story becomes very serious.

Thus the fund is not spent within the stipulated time of the famous March end.

Knowing such difficulties scientists try to spend the allotted fund urgently by placing orders for easily available items such as steel almyrahs, fans, air-conditioners, refrigerators, plastic chairs, hot plates, room heaters, computers etc., etc.,

When I was a student and later a staff I could see truck loads of steel almyrahs, book cases, and refrigerators unloaded in science departments towards the end of March every year.

It looked very strange to me, but later on I could understand the circumstances under which they are bought.

Funding science is done by every government every year.

Who looks into the spending aspects of the funds?

Also who looks into the scientific research results due to such levels of funding?

The spending aspect is always looked into by the auditors checking the bills, dates and the correctness of spending according to the government audit rules.

The scientific research based on the funding and the equipments are not strictly monitored, although it is said that there are many committees established for this sake.

The outcome of scientific findings should have a direct bearing on the fund spent and the scientific instruments used.

But invariably most of the scientific research ends up in reports and publications either in Indian journals or in few so called international journals which are very rarely read by other scientists.

Sustainable science activity is desired by retired scientists, but I doubt that is possible to achieve.

Most of the scientific researchers are fed up over time and their thinking is outmoded.

They started with a sharp thinking in handling problems basic or applied, but over time their thinking lose the sharpness.

If you talk to any senior or junior scientists today, they spend more time in discussing their administrative difficulties rather than their scientific output.

Even if they talk about their outputs which will be a repetitive work or some one’s results confirmed.

These are facts every one of us – scientists – fully know.

Some of these facts are fashionably written in Curr. Sci. published by Indian Academy of Sciences.

When I read those comments, I feel very sad because this journal is found in libraries of almost all Universities of the world and also in the net free of cost.

The publishers of Curr. Sci. escapes cleverly saying that all articles published in Curr. Sci. especially editorials, opinions and commentaries, letters and book reviews are deemed to reflect the individual views of the authors and not the official points of view, either of the Current Science Association or of the Indian Academy Sciences.

Those who read Curr. Sci. journal knows very well the views of various scientists expressed in the ‘Correspondence’ section.

Exposing the setbacks in scientific world of India is a welcome step, but I do not know by doing so how many are rectified so far?

All the setbacks expressed make good reading, sometimes they are funny too.

The contents of the Correspondence section continue to be the same setbacks for the past decades and I hope it may be for the future decades too.

In a country like India, science and scientific research are not treated the way they have to be treated.

They are in the hands of the auditors who are not scientists but they count the money not the outcome of science.

In their eyes, whether one is scientist, business man or anybody – all are thieves.

Their job is only to find out the mistakes committed in spending the fund.

They do not know some of those mistakes are to be committed to carry out scientific research.

But who has to change the Government Secretariat administration which is still the same inherited from the British?

A new administration is absolutely needed for scientific institutions for better utilization of fund.

Indian science will remain with the same setbacks of the past decades forever if we follow the same set of account rules.

I feel it is an urgent matter the science administrators of Government of India have to look into seriously for the benefit of science in India.

Adam’s Failure I am a good person WHY must I die?


The Physical Body Is a Dead End

Everyone is aware of his own body. It is tangible, temporal, and lends itself to scientific investigation. If you ask a chemist, “What is man?” he might produce an analytical chart and point out to you conclusively that man is so much water, nitrogen, carbon, and various other elements. Yet he would have been referring to only the physical part of man’s being, thus in nature he appears to be identical to the elements of the earth. Genesis 2:7a the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground …

Since the beginning of history, man has sought to be free from the imprisonment of his body to touch that deep inner longing. He has tried to find new ways of pleasing his physical senses, even now with the “virtual electronic world”; yet only to find that nothing really satisfies that hunger deep within. Physical pleasure is so fleeting. Although man has managed to prolong his biological life, still every man comes to the point where he has to admit that the body is a literal dead end in itself.

What About the Metaphysical – The Unseen Non-Physical Soul of Man?

If you were to ask the psychologist about man, he might say that besides a body, you have a more inward, hidden composition. You have a mind – a consciousness, a thinking organ; we also have emotions – the faculty of inner sense of feeling capable of loving, hating, being depressed, and elated. He might also point out that you have a will, a faculty for choosing, making decisions.

The psychologist would in this manner show that you are not a mere physical being, but a psychological being as well. In short you are a living, thinking, feeling, willing entity – not mere animated dust, but a real live person; with each person seeming to have a unique and distinctive personality. This, he would say, is you. Your real self, he would explain, is your inner-self, your psychological self, while your body is just the outward shell of your being. Scripture confirms this about the soul of man. 1 Cor. 15:45s …The first man Adam was made a living soul; … Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The tree of knowledge of Good and Evil thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that that thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die Gen 2:17

According to the meaning of the word, this psychological part is the soul of man. “Psyche” comes from the Greek word “psuche,” translated in the Bible as “soul.” Psychology is the study of the soul. Each individual has unique faculties of the soul; the mind, emotions and will, comprising the inward person, their personality.

The last two centuries of human history have seen the spectacular rise of the soul’s powers. The great minds of men have contributed an abundance of thought and discovery. The great minds and wills of men have produced an abundance of decisive action in government and culture. Without doubt the soul has soared to its zenith in recent history – yet in spite of man’s great accomplishments, the sense of inner emptiness remains.

We can conquer the moon, work with nanotechnology, and investigate the genome of man, but still, deep within our self, there remains some uncharted territory. Yet, man’s soul is inadequate; his highest thoughts are soon forgotten, his deepest emotions quickly fade, his most adamant determination of will falters. Within the soul of man, the search for a key to man ends in frustration.

I am a good person why must I grow old and die? Gen2:17 God madeAdam in the garden of eden and said “The tree of good and evil thou shall not eat of it for in the day

that thou eatest thereof then you shall surely die. Adam ate of the fruit so Adam and all his kin were/are sentenced to die (no exceptions)

Gen 3:7 the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made them aprons.

Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Here above the animal blood that was shed produced only what would cover their act of sin. Yet, it foretold of a time when “the Lamb of God,” Jesus Christ, would come, shed His blood and die, not to cover sins, but more, to take away the sins of the world of mankind (John 1:29) – if they would only have faith in His blood (Rom 3:25).

He who is saved is “cre­ated in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:10). “In Christ Jesus nei­ther circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumci­sion, but a new creature” (Gal. 6:15). This creation takes the place of the old creation in the first Adam.

“If any man be in Christ Jesus, he: is a new crea­ture: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Cor. 5:17).

This new creation is “the new man, which after God is created in righteous­ness and true holiness” (Eph.4:24).

The new man is the born -again man, the one born of the Spirit, as dis­tinguished from the old man, or carnal man. But, when a man has exhausted all that the world has to offer he realizes there is no likely possibility of quenching his deepest desire in this world. This then is evidence that man has a deeper need, and that man was probably made for another world.

The blood of the innocent “lamb of God” was shed according to God’s prescribed plan… from the foundation of the world. We do not need to plead, grovel, wail, or to convince God to forgive us. He planned for the forgiveness of our sins “from the foundation of the world.”

Revelation 13:8b … the book of life of the Lamb slain (already) from the foundation of the world.

In the heart of God, Christ was crucified, shedding His blood for the redemption of mankind, from before the world began. Christ’s shed blood was part of the “revelation of the mystery” (Rom 16:25), the secret plan of God that Christ first revealed to the Apostle Paul, for us. Christ’s blood was key to “the eternal purpose that was purposed in Christ Jesus” (Eph 3:11).

It is only the blood of Christ that remits (pays for) a man’s sins. Hebrews 9:22b … without shedding of blood there is no remission. Christ’s shed blood makes the believing man clean and then suitable to receive the indwelling “Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom 8:2a). Christ’s shed blood is supreme, matchless, and absolutely

KALPANA CHAWLA –“I never thought while pursuing my studies or doing anything else about being a woman, I or a person from a small city, or a different country. I pretty much had my dreams, like anybody else and I followed them. People around me fortunately always encouraged and said “if that’s what you want to do carry on”.”

KALPANA CHAWLA –“It was starting to get dim outside, so you got to see your own reflection. And there is the Earth and you can still see the Earth’s surface and the dark sky overhead. And I could then see my reflection in the window and in the retina of my eye the whole earth and the sky could be seen reflected. So I called all the crew members one by one and they saw it, and they said, “oh wow.”   

KALPANA CHAWLA –“Just looking at Earth, looking at the stars during the night part of “Earth; just looking at our planet roll by and the speed at which it goes by and the awe that it inspires; just so many such good thoughts come to your mind when you see all that… Doing it again is like living a dream — a good dream — once again.”

Vedantic seers knew that man was not something apart from nature, and, therefore, they constantly exhort us that, while we work for own salvation, we must also work for the welfare of all beings.”  

KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR –“Basketball is an endurance sport, and you have to learn to control your breath; that’s the essence of yoga, too. So, I consciously began using yoga techniques in my practice and playing. I think yoga helped reduce the number and severity of injuries I suffered. As preventative medicine, it’s unequalled.”   

KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR- “I try to do right things at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.”

KAREN ARMSTRONG –“ Every fundamentalist movement… is convinced at some gut, visceral level that secular liberal society wants to wipe out religion.            

KAREN ARMSTRONG –“We could say that the nativity is a myth. That does not mean that it is not true. A myth can be defined as something that, in some sense, happened once, but those also nap- pens all the time. Myth reveals the underlying arid timeless significance of an event. It is also a programme for action. The gospels are not accurate biographies of Jesus; like any religious text, they I tell the reader how to behave. Unless a myth is put into practice, we do not grasp its full import. The Christmas myth reminds us that faith does not always bring comfort and joy, but demands self-sacrifice, a commitment to justice and equity, and determination to seek the sacred in the outcast and dispossessed.”

KARLKRAUS –“Newspapers have roughly the same relationship to life as fortune-tellrs to metaphysics.”  

KARSANBHAI PATEL –“Hardcore value maximisation, avoiding usage of non-required elements into the product and hence reducing the cost results in benefits to the consumer.”              

KARUNA MALHOTRA –“We clean and decorate our homes to welcome Goddess Lakshmi but do not attempt to cleanse our antarman (belief system), where anger, jealousy, unlimited desires and hatred reside. If we are able to eradicate them, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi will stay in our hearts forever and thousands of lamps will light up in bliss.”   

KARUNANIDHI –“If the captain of the ship is not perfect, the ship should not be allowed to sink. We have to search for a new captain and repair the ship.”

KASHF-AL-MAHJUB –“The aim of a dervish is to become a dead man walking one whose body stays alive on earth yet whose soul is already in Heaven. Towards the end of his journey, the dervish becomes the Way not the wayfarer, that is, a place over which something is passing, not a traveler following his own free will.”

KATE W FURMAN –“When walking down the path of life, Remember what I say, That every man must feel the thorns That grow along the way. And every soul will stumble, For every man is weak, And the road of life uncertain, Its prospects often bleak. But always give a helping hand, A word of love, a smile, To help the soul beside you walk Across each weary mile.”

These Meitei waters before us resplendent is what we call our Loktak. A fresh wind caressing the waters, quickens the waves to a dance; on boats are our women afloat, their fishing nets exulting. These Meitei waters before us resplendent is what we call our Loktak.” 

KHWAJA ABDULLAH ANSARI –“From the unman fest I came, And pitched my tent, in the forest of material existence. I passed through mineral and vegetable kingdoms, Then my mental equipment carried me into the animal kingdom; Having reached there I crossed into the beyond; Then in the crystal clear shell of human heart I nursed the drops of Self in a Pearlier, And in association with good men Wandered round the Prayer House, And having experienced that, crossed beyond it; Then I took the road that leads to Him, And became a slave at His gate; Then the duality disappeared And I became absorbed in Him.” 

KIERKEGAARD –“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every, illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts… Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

People and Technology: Eight Ways You Can Be Effective Too!

The incredible level and use of technology underway today never ceases to amaze me! We are simply overwhelmed by it. Something as simple as a decision to purchase a cell phone can quickly become a paralyzing experience because of the ‘technical’ options we have. Place this in the context of our work and everyday lives and we often don’t know where to begin. All this talk of genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology! (Huh?)

Research suggests that those who are ‘early adapters’ of technology (and new things in general) are most likely also those who will not only survive well in life but can be successful. Where will you fall on the continuum of life’s experiences and results when all is said and done? Will you be able to keep up?

Following are eight suggestions to help guide you to a point of success in this ever increasing technological world:

1.Make a true commitment to learn new things, even those things that seem totally impossible to you. Recent research indicates that if you force yourself to learn something new your brain will actually adapt and make it easier for you to understand the subject.

2.Develop a strategy for what you need to learn and what technology you think you will need at work and in your personal life. Having a clear picture of what you believe will help you heightens your chances of success.

3.Once you’re clear about what technology to master then research all the potential sources for learning that technology (books, magazines, Internet sites, television programs, etc.)

4.Educate yourself on the subject matter…literally become ‘expert’ at it. Try webinars, college courses, books, free website links and materials, etc.

5.Networking is a great way to meet people who have a passion for a given subject and many are willing to share their thoughts and expertise. Join affinity groups, professional networking organizations, associations, etc.

6.Once you begin to feel comfortable with your command of the technology offer yourself as a tutor or mentor of others whose knowledge of the subject is less than your. Volunteer for teaching assignments or presentations on the basic “how to” of the technology.

7.Be persistent in your pursuit of knowledge on the subject technology. Stick with the learning process!!

8.Renew your understanding and passion for the technology. The ‘half-life’ of technology in every area we can think of is incredibly brief. If you learn to keep up over time it will be easier to determine what you don’t know.

There you have it! You now know eight ways to ensure that you not only keep up with our technology-driven world but actually thrive in the process. Good luck!
