<b>A taxonomic study on trachypenaeid prawns with special reference to Indian records</b>
No full textBurkenroad created two subgenera of the genus Trachypenaeus viz., Trachypenaeus (Trachypenaeus) and Trachypenaeus (Trachysalambria) in 1934. These two subgenera were raised to the status of genus by Pérez Farfante and Kensley and simultaneously created two new genera for the group namely Megokris and Rimapenaeus. As such the trachypenaeid group of penaeid prawns consists of four valid genera namely Trachypenaeus, Trachysalambria, Megokris and Rimapenaeus. During the present study genus Megokris is being synonymised under its original genus Trachypenaeus. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to propose a revision to the trachypenaeid group of penaeid prawn and to prepare a comprehensive document for the group recorded from Indian water. The study area represents genus Trachysalambria and Megokris with three species under each genus. </jats:p

Racializing white residues: seditious Anglo-Indians and others
No full textMy dissertation interrogates the discursive residues of the Anglo-Indian question in decolonized India. To problematize these residues, I structure my dissertation as a fragmented genealogy of colonial and post-colonial perceptions of Anglo-Indians. I open my dissertation by showing how, since the late-nineteenth century, Anglo-Indians were claimed to be only of part-European racial provenance, and tautologically had their bodies deemed sexually deviant. Their bodies being, like those of their non-Anglo-Indian counterparts, in fact of uncertain racial intermixture, I argue that Anglo-Indians inhabit mongrel bodies—bodies in a state of continual flux of class and race, inhabiting a multiplicity of pluralized communities. The ethical end of the decolonized Indian nation-state, I accordingly suggest, is to facilitate the recognition of mongrelism as an inevitable phenomenon across groups—one that fractures monolithic conceptions of race and community. To flesh out this argument, I conduct readings from an archive of novels, historiographic treatises, short stories, memoirs, films, and cartoons. The figures whose texts I examine include, among others, colonial Anglo-Indian ‘prostitute’ Amelia Horne, Anglo-Indian anti-racism activist Cedric Dover, Bengali novelist Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, diasporic English writer Aubrey Menen, Indian cartoonist Mario Miranda, Bengali film director Satyajit Ray, Anglo-Indian politician and historiographer Frank Anthony, and British-Indian writer Ruskin Bond.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Debojoy Chanda, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-04 at 01:48.The student, Debojoy Chanda, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-04 at 02:33.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-06 at 10:04.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12728 on 2018-09-27 at 11:16:29Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:30:17Z (GMT).

A REVISION TO THE FRESHWATER FISH DIVERSITY OF PASCHIM MEDINIPUR AND JHARGRAM DISTRICT OF WEST BENGAL, INDIA
No full textIn the present contribution, an attempt has been made to provide a systematic classification of freshwater fishes of Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram Districts of West Bengal along with their human use and conservation status, as far as possible. Revision recognized 113 species of freshwater fishes (101 primary freshwater species, 12 secondary freshwater species), belonging to 12 orders, 32 families and 73 genera. Fourteen species of exotic fishes have been introduced to freshwater bodies of the Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram District. The top order with diverse species composition was Cypriniformes (45 species, 28 genera and 2 families). The most diverse family was Cyprinidae with 40 species and 25 genera. Freshwater fishes of Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram Districts revealed existence of 5 ornamental fishes, 63 food fishes and 46 were ornamental as well as food fishes. Out of the 113 freshwater fish species, 10.60% are under vulnerable or near threatened categories. Updated checklist will lead to a better understanding of the fish diversity of this area for conservation
Content delivery in software defined networks
No full textInformation Centric Architectures view content as the narrow waist of the networking stack. This abstraction allows routing based on the content name, rather than the network locator of the content consumer and producer. We present ContentFlow, an Information Centric network architecture which supports content routing by mapping the content name to a OpenFlow de ned ow based on TCP and IP semantics. And, thus enables the use of OpenFlow switches to achieve content routing over a legacy IP architecture. ContentFlow is viewed as an evolutionary step between the current IP networking architecture, and a full edged ICN architecture. It supports content man- agement, content caching and content routing at the network layer, while using a legacy OpenFlow infrastructure and a modi ed controller. By e ciently using the content in- formation available in the network, ContentFlow supports e cient tra c engineering. Also, ContentFlow is transparent from the point of view of the client and the server, and can be inserted in between without modi cation at either end. The architecture and implementation of ContentFlow on top of the existing OpenFlow software de ned networking framework is described. Performance of ContentFlow is evaluated using a prototype implementation of an enterprise SDN network with Floodlight controller and multiple virtualized OpenFlow switches. The results show that ContentFlow does result in reduced content access delay in comparison to a legacy architectures.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Abhishek Chand

A comparative review on freshwater fish fauna between West Bengal and Odisha, two middle-east Indian states
No full textThe objective of the present study is the comparative revision of inland freshwater fish faunal diversity between West Bengal and Odisha, two states of middle-east India. Work is mainly based on the available published literature on the freshwater fish faunal diversity, checklist for fish, monograph of the area under study. Result reveals the existence of 345 species of fish belonging to 50 families under 14 orders. Analysis of data shows a slight similarity of freshwater fish faunal diversity between two states is quite expected because both the states differ in their physiography and ecology. The present report may serve as a helpful document for freshwater aquaculturists as well as fishery researchers for their future planning of research work on the subject of the study area
