No full textCaissa aruna N. Singh & Ahmad, sp. nov. (Figs 1, 7, 8) Holotype. ♂, India, Arunachal Pradesh, Bhalukpong, Tippi, 13.vii.2018, Pallab Chatterjee leg. (NZCZSI). Paratype. 1 ♂, data same as holotype. Diagnosis. Morphologically, Caissa aruna sp. nov. belongs to the third species group of Caissa. The new species and its closely similar species C. parenti (Wu & Fang 2008, Fig. 2, 6) are distinct from all the other congeners by a prominent process originating from the junction of valva base and transtilla, which is absent in other species of the genus. Caissa aruna sp. nov. is distinct from C. parenti by the valva with almost equal width throughout the length and narrowly rounded at apex, the saccular process is almost straight and apically blunt, and the juxta is mushroom shaped, whereas in C. parenti, the valva is apically broadened, the saccular process is curved towards costa, pointed apically and the juxta is almost quadrilateral. In C. aruna sp. nov. the aedeagus is longer with a dentate apical plate which is absent in C. parenti. Description. Male. Wingspan 11 mm, Forewing length 22 mm. Ground color pale brownish, antennae filiform. Forewing with antemedial oblique brownish line; postmedial line outwardly curved below costa, then oblique to meet tornus; area between both the lines suffused with brown; discoidal spot black; hindwing pale yellow clothed with brown scales, leaving costal area pales; a prominent black spot at tornus. Male genitalia with uncus having a short sub apical process; gnathos 2/3 rd of the uncus, minutely curved apically; a long horn shape process originating from junction of valva base and transtilla; juxta somewhat mushroom-like; valvae almost tongue-like; basal saccular process small thumb like; aedeagus half the length of valvae, tip with a dentate plate. Distribution. So far, the species is reported from its type locality only. Etymology. The new species is named after the sanskrit word ‘Aruna’, prefix ofArunachal, meaning ‘light of rising sun’.Published as part of Singh, Navneet & Ahmad, Jalil, 2022, A new species and a new species record of Caissa Hering from India (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae), pp. 96-100 in Zootaxa 5200 (1) on pages 96-97, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5200.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/725191

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
Get PDFAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Estimation of N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen in periodontal health, disease and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy in gingival crevicular fluid: A clinico - biochemical study
No full textAim: This study explored gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx) levels in periodontal health, disease and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy along with its association with the clinical parameters.
Materials and Methods: Study comprised of three groups of 10 subjects each: Healthy (Group I), gingivitis (Group II), and periodontitis (Group III), while Group III patients after scaling and root planning (SRP) constituted Group IV. Gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and radiological parameters were recorded. GCF samples were analyzed by competitive-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Samples in Group III and Group IV tested positive for NTx whereas in Group I and Group II, NTx was not detected. Mean NTx levels were higher in Group III (6.79 ± 0.94 nanomole bone collagen equivalents per liter [nm BCE/L]) compared to Group IV (5.73 ± 0.95 nm BCE/L) which was statistically significant. Positive correlation was seen between the clinical parameters and the NTx levels in Group III and IV.
Conclusion: As NTx is specific bone turnover marker, it is detected only in periodontitis Group and the values decline after SRP. Failure to detect NTx in Group I and II, relates to the minimum or no resorption at the sample sites
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations
