Suturing decolonial thinking to transnational queer narratives, this essay aims to problematise accounts of coloniality/modernity that emplace eurocentred thinking in a dialectical relation to other formations of knowledge. Specifically, it offers a reassessment of contemporary queer paradigms in the geopolitical west and its other, South Asia. Focusing on South Asia as the geographical location that is traditionally associated with the repression of all forms of sexuality and simultaneously as the site of orientalised fictions of (homo)sexual promise, the essay attempts to borrow from insights of two established fields of critical inquiry, i.e., decolonial studies and queer theory. In staging this encounter, it aims to theorise decolonial queerness, developing epistemic tools for a decolonial critique of global queerness which obliterates particularised gender and sexual arrangements that escape legibility in standard accounts of queer studies.

Generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor (ω-tensor) has the flavor of conformal, conharmonic, concircular, projective, m-projective, W1-curvature, W2-curvature and W4-curvature tensors. In the present paper we have investigated the nature of Riemann solitons in α-cosymplectic manifold in the light of generalized weakly ω-symmetric structure.

Distributed Generation has drawn the attention of industrialists and researchers for quite a time now due to the advantages it brings loads. In addition to cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but also brings higher reliability coefficient power system. The DG unit is placed close to the load, rather than increasing the capacity of main generator. This methodology brings many benefits, but has to address some of the challenges. The main is to find the optimal location and size of DG units between them. The purpose of this paper is distributed generation by adding an additional means to reduce losses on the line. This paper attempts to optimize the technology to solve the problem of optimal location and size through the development of multi-objective particle swarm. The problem has been reduced to a mathematical optimization problem by developing a fitness function considering losses and voltage distribution line. Fitness function by using the optimal value of the size and location of this algorithm was found to be minimized. IEEE-14 bus system is being considered, in order to test the proposed algorithm and the results show improved performance in terms of accuracy and convergence rate.
