However the frequency response difference between someone talking very low and that same person projecting can be markedly different.\nThis conversation happens in circles with live bands and also mixing music for whatever these days has replaced CDs and vinyl. I rarely go out for music anymore, but when I did, it wasn't unusual for the vocals to be buried. Part of that is style (which I don't care for) and part of it is that if/when the band turns up, at some point you can't push the vocal any higher without causing feedback in the PA.\nIn the case of mixing for release, I think the problem is usually a vocalist who is shy about his/her vocal ability (and they may be correct.) The other problem us that everyone in the band KNOWS THE WORDS. As a mixer, I don't, so if a vocal phrase gets lost, I want to do something to make it audible." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It usually depends on the genre.

The face is not immediately shot; actually the camera shots in closeups parts of the body as the character gets dressed, paces his airy, modern bedroom, starts to talk with another man, who is fully shot while getting rather bullied, his personal assistant and old pal Jyoti. It is thus through a scattered, fragmentary, confused flow of images, ushered in by a forbidding, stern pattern, that the film introduces the lead character, Bengali movie actor and matinee idol Arindam Mukherjee, a remarkably blunt but kinetic vision which at the same time is distinctly unromantic and unconventional for such a character." }, { "from": "human", "value": "<image>" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "A crucial talk whose dynamics is ever changing and revealing: Sharmila Tagore (left) and Uttam Kumar" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The man himself does not come across as a pleasant and nice fellow: his snappy reactions, his irony and hectoring, his brash attitudes suggest a deeply conceited and cavalier personality. And indeed, he does not make the headlines in that morning’s papers not just because he is to leave Kolkata to get in Delhi an award but also because he was involved in a brawl with another man, clearly under the influence. He shrugs off the offer of a new contract, to the dismay of an associate, and rushed to get on the train, fancying his trip could bring some relief." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The film then widens what looked like a character study: if Arindam Mukherjee is still the main focus, if only because his presence stirs so much interest, other characters get scrutinized. There are first, obviously, the folks who are in the same compartment: a wealthy, leading businessman, Haren Bose, his wife Manorama Bose, and their sick daughter Bulbul; then there is another white collar worker, an advertising executive hoping to convince Haren Bose to sign a contract with his young company, Pritish Sarkar, who is traveling with his wife Molly; a young, spirited couple who accompanies a quieter, and lonely, young woman, Aditi, excited by Aditi’s new professional achievement, the editing of a women’s magazine; also feature a grumpy and arch-conservative old man, and the ever-smiling, ever-busy conductor." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Some scenes provide comic relief, but others point to the grim difficulties of being successful and satisfied, worries that seem so remote to the star’s life. Haren Bose proves to be more interested in boasting talks, a chess game, and especially the diffident and charming Molly Sarkar than what Pritish Sarkar tries to tell him. Another case of vanity, arrogance, and feeling of entitlement, far less glamorous and far more brutal than the actor, Haren Bose illustrates a paternalistic view of the world quick to consider women as sexual objects or family property. At the other end of the success spectrum, Pritish Sarkar is a pathetic social climber ready to ask his wife the unacceptable only to get a footing in a business empire far too big for his skills and size; his hopeless clumsiness at first amuses, then dismays, and eventually looks poignant, especially when he is forced to realize the gap between his expectations for his wife and her own expectations for life." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Pritish Sarkar is not the only operator awkwardly attempting to grab an opportunity as the train speeds to the capital: Aditi, encouraged by her friends, decides to interview for her publication Arindam Mukherjee. But the star objects to any serious discussion that could delve deep into his life and motives. Part of the plot is built between the relation both struggle to have, reflecting first the diffidence and weak position of the young woman, despite her intelligence, and then how her ability to listen and analyze get so badly needed." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If she becomes a confidant against all odds, it is because she is the rare case of an Indian who is not thrilled and getting dizzy, if not crazy, by the presence of a movie actor, when the character is not dreaming of being part of the business, as it is the case of Molly Sarkar. Scenes emphasize what a fame and a prestige film success can bring, but at the same time the perfunctory, even sometimes cynical, way the actor deals with the fawning of the ladies and the crowds, or the contempt of the cantankerous old intellectual and the snobbish Haren Bose, points to the sheer vanity and complete futility of the stardom and fandom. Arindam Mukherjee’s behavior, which is in keeping with the beginning’s unsympathetic portrayal, and the words that he exchanges self-deprecatingly with others about the state of Indian cinema sound like a scathing criticism of the national cinema. Director Satyajit Ray clearly denounces the mediocrity of a production system, a star system, and an audience, unwilling to pursue high-minded goals for the seventh art." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But his train trip turns to force him deeper in a searing and disturbing examination of his career and life. Twice he has nightmares even as he was hoping for a nice sleep, the first a horrific vision blending money and death, the second a grotesque remembrance of a testy conversation he had with a would-be actress Promila Chatterjee. Talking with Aditi, who uses his need to confess write stealthily an article, suddenly feels like the opportunity to clear up his mind. He feels forced to examine his past, in particular the way he fell out with a man he respected a lot, a mentor who turned him into a stage actor, but got incensed when Arindam Mukherjee started to negotiate with a studio, Sankar, the disastrous collaboration with an old movie star who later became a drunkard and a nonentity, Kamal Misra, or how he failed to help a longtime pal, a political activist who has hoped the actor could feel concerned by the struggle of the workers, Biresh." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The talk, as noted, transforms the dynamics between Aditi and Arindam Mukherjee, and the positions and movements of the camera gracefully reflect it. The story keeps widening, becoming the chronicle of an intimacy that cannot leave the young woman unconcerned and suggests the famous bachelor also needs the kind of understanding and the special bond love can bring – the final shots on the platform of the Delhi railway station underline the idea. But it remains the study of an archetypal success in the seventh art, the Indian way, and keeps exploring that essential gap between what cinema could be and should be as an art and what popularity and commerce have made it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Arindam Mukherjee is basically gripped by a far deeper existential crisis than he carelessly thought, and teetering on the edge of a precipice, or rather nearly tripping over the rails. He survives – that is, he dares not to kill himself. And he proves eager to keep in touch with Aditi, who proves to be such a strong support – and symbolically tears up her article: there are things that cannot be told in public, but not for the reasons the actor previously stated. The carefully crafted public persona cannot be tarnished, but constantly burnished, that was his the point, and the system’s flaw. But at the end of this strange trip, the truth is that what is tearing the actor apart is something that only he can face and tame. It remains to be seen if he is up to the task – it is not impossible, but it is hard to be sure." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The film has started by shattering and slamming as bluntly and vividly as possible the image and the nature of the matinee idol, a bitter criticism of the way India enjoys and creates films. But this deconstruction turns out to be far more perceptive and compassionate. It digs relentlessly, harshly deep into the conscience of the titular character, exposing flaws justifying the underlying criticism but also revealing a more complex and moving picture, of a man still coming to terms with the easy option he signed up to years earlier, under the influence of his pal Jyoti, deeply aware of how failure can easily come in the way, ruining an insecure and futile career. The cinema he embodies is an illusion, and the most tragic part is that people crave for this illusion, even view it as an opportunity, as they struggle in their lives." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "But entertainment cannot truly paper over the cracks, frustrations, disappointments so rife in the Indian society, including in the emerging middle class, that the trip has hinted to. It is facing truth and articulating grievances that eventually helps and changes Arindam Mukherjee – and perhaps a better role for cinema should be to pay attention to the real feelings of people, to observe and show their personal experiences, to build a space for sincere dialogue and genuine sympathy, to turn a film into an enlightening narrative attuned to the many aspects of the individual, good as well as bad. And this is precisely what “Nayak” boils to, and why it ends with a relative optimism about Arindam Mukherjee, which has nothing to do with the tacky, rosy endings of the usual Indian melodrama, but a lot with an empathetic and analytic approach." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Leave a Reply Cancel reply" } ]

The pHAP sample was divided into two parts; one was kept as control sample while another part was named as treated sample. The treated sample was given the biofield energy treatment and various parameters were analysed as compared to the control sample by X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyser, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD studies showed the decrease in crystallite size of the treated sample (61.25 nm) as compared to the control (84.18 nm); however the intensity of peaks in diffractogram was increased in treated sample. Besides, the surface area of treated sample was decreased by 41.17% as compared to the control. The TGA analysis revealed that onset temperature as well as Tmax (maximum thermal decomposition temperature) was increased in the treated sample. However, the latent heat of fusion (ΔH) was decreased from 124.56 J/g (control) to 103.24 J/g in the treated sample. The treated and control samples were also evaluated by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy and did not show any significant alteration in spectra of treated sample as compared to the respective control. Hence, the overall results suggest that there was an impact of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of pHAP sample." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Acetophenones are the aromatic ketones that are mainly used as precursors for resins and fragrances [1]. Their occurrence was found in several natural products like apple, banana, cauliflower, etc. [2]. They were also used in medicine as hypnotics and anticonvulsants in 19th-20th centuries [3]. Hydroxyacetophenones are obtained by direct C-acylation of phenol with acetic acid and used in manufacturing of pharmaceutical products [4]. P-Hydroxyacetophenone (pHAP) is an aromatic ketone (Figure 1) having wide commercial applications. It is also known as piceol that is a phenolic compound and can be obtained naturally from mycorrhizal roots of Norway spruces (Picea abies) [5,6]. It is used in the production of rubbers, plastics, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It acts as a precursor for the synthesis of p-hydroxyacetanilide and paracetamol (analgesic drug) [7]. It is also used as a ketone component in the manufacturing of 1-aryl-3- phenethylamino-1-propanone hydrochloride that is a potent cytotoxic agent [8]. Moreover, they are also used in manufacturing of cosmetics, flavours, and fragrances [9]. Overall, the importance of p-HAP in industries is as the precursor and intermediate compounds. The physicochemical properties like particle size, surface area, and thermal properties of intermediate compounds play a crucial role in chemical and pharmaceutical industries [10,11]. Hence, authors were attempting an alternative strategy i.e., biofield energy treatment and analysed its impact on the physicochemical properties of pHAP. Biofield energy treatment is a type of energy healing which comes under the branch of alternative medicine [12]. These energy therapies are also recommended by National Institute of Health (NIH) and National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) [13]. Biofield is the name given to the electromagnetic field that permeates and surrounds the living organisms. It is the scientific term for the biologically produced ultra-fine electromagnetic energy field that can function for regulation and communication within the organism [14]. The features of this electromagnetic field are related to the physiological and mental state of the person and research has found that this field might deplete in unhealthy conditions [15]. Hence, the health of living organisms can be influenced by balancing this energy from the environment through natural exchange process [16]. Thus, the human has the ability to harness the energy from the environment or universe and can transmit it to any living or non-living object(s) around the Globe. The objects always receive the energy and responding to the useful way. This process is known as biofield energy treatment. Mr. Trivedi is well known to possess a unique biofield energy treatment (The Trivedi Effect®) that has been reported for altering the growth and yield properties of plants in the agriculture field [17-19]. The effect of biofield treatment was also reported in biotechnology field [20,21] and microbiology research [22-24]. Besides that, the impact of biofield treatment was also reported on physical, thermal and spectral properties of various metals and organic compounds [25-27].

Figure 2 showed the XRD diffractogram of control and treated samples of pHAP. The XRD diffractograms showed a series of intense peaks in the regions of 10o<2θ>26o, which depicted that pHAP sample had high crystallinity and long range ordering. From the diffractograms, no broadening of peaks was evident, which showed that sample was crystalline in nature. In addition, the most intense peak was observed at 2θ equal to 15.79° in control; however, it was observed at 23.22° in treated sample. It indicated that the relative intensities of XRD peaks were altered in treated pHAP as compared to the control sample. It is reported that the change in crystal morphology causes the alteration in relative intensities of the peaks [32]. Moreover, it was reported that pHAP molecules possess O-H--O hydrogen bonds due to which they exhibited a linear chain like structure. Also, these interactions were strong at lower temperature [9]. It is presumed that biofield energy may transfer energy to the treated sample that might cause breaking of these intermolecular interactions. Due to this, the pHAP molecules may form a symmetrical crystalline pattern that further leads to increased symmetry of pHAP molecules. Recently, our group reported that biofield energy treatment has significantly altered the particle size and surface morphology of cadmium powder [25]. Thus, it is assumed that the energy transferred through biofield treatment probably altered the shape and size of molecules of treated sample that might be the responsible for an alteration in relative intensities in treated sample as compared to the control. Moreover, the average crystallite size was calculated using Scherrer equation. The crystallite size of pHAP samples was found as 84.18 nm in the control and 61.25 nm in the treated sample. It indicated that the crystallite size was decreased by 27.23% in the treated pHAP as compared to the control. It was previously reported that ultrasonic energy can cause the decrease in crystallite size [33]. Hence, it is hypothesized that biofield energy treatment might transfer some energy that resulted in the decreased crystallite size. Besides, it was reported that decrease in crystallite size may accelerates the rate kinetics in the chemical reactions [10]. Since pHAP is used as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. Hence, the decrease in crystallite size might enhance the percentage yield of end products by fastening the rate of chemical reaction." }, { "from": "human", "value": "<image>" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Figure 2: XRD of control and treated samples of p-hydroxyacetophenone." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "In pHAP, the control sample showed a surface area of 0.34 m2/g; however, the treated sample showed the surface area of 0.20 m2/g.

Murray et al. reported that increase in crystallinity might reduce the surface area as poorly crystallized sample possess more surface area than a well-crystallized sample [34]. In addition, the alteration of crystal morphology in treated sample was evidenced from XRD data. The change in surface morphology may lead to altering the surface area. Also, another reason might be that pore volume of particles decreased significantly with increasing heat treatment that ultimately decreased the surface area of particles [35]. Hence, it was hypothesized that biofield treatment might transfer the energy that probably reduced the pore volume of the treated pHAP sample.

In case of control pHAP, there was a sharp single stage of weight loss between 179°C and 249°C. Since, the single stage of weight loss started at 179°C without any intermediate stages; it was assumed that the compound was evaporated at this temperature [36]. The sharpness of both thermograms (control and treated) also indicated that the compound was pure without the association of any impurities. However, in the treated pHAP, there was a sharp single stage of weight loss between 192°C and 262°C. It indicated that onset temperature of the treated pHAP was increased as compared to the control. Besides, DTG thermogram data showed that Tmax was found at 220.62°C in control whereas; it was increased to 232.62°C in the treated pHAP. It indicated that Tmax was also increased in treated sample as compared to the control. Furthermore, the increase in onset temperature and Tmax can be related to the increase in vaporization temperature of the treated pHAP sample. Hence, it indicated that the biofield energy treatment might produce some alterations in the thermal stability profile of pHAP sample. The thermal stability is critical to ensure the safe handling of chemical compounds. The thermal stability is also considered in the processing, long-term storage or shipping of material [37].

Also, it was observed in XRD studies that due to biofield energy, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding might be broken in the treated sample. Due to this, the treated sample might need less energy to undergo the process of melting that further may lead to the reduction in the latent heat of fusion.
