Millettia pseudoracemosa Thothathri & Ravikumar 1997
No full textIdentities of <i>Millettia pseudoracemosa</i> and <p> <b> <i>Millettia pseudoracemosa</i> Thothathri & Ravikumar (1997: 239) was described on the basis of a single collection (<i>S. Ravikumar 334</i>, Fig. 1: A–B), which was collected on 21 April 1995 from Anamalai Hills, Tamil Nadu, South India. The new species was considered to be similar to <i>M. racemosa</i> (Roxburgh 1832: 329) Bentham (1852: 249) in habit, shape, number and hairiness of leaflets, floral color, and pod shape. The latter species was first described based on specimens also from India, but it has been treated as a monospecific genus <i>Endosamara</i> Geesink (1984: 93) belonging to the tribe Wisterieae because of its true panicles with ebracteole flowers and very peculiar fruits with a lomented endocarp around each seed (Compton <i>et al.</i> 2019). Thothathri & Ravikumar (1997) also pointed out that their new species has a unique character in the genus, i.e. the large sized (2.5–3.0 cm long) and violet flowers.</b> </p>Published as part of <i>Song, Zhu-Qiu, 2023, The identities of Millettia pseudoracemosa and M. pulchra var. munnarensis (Fabaceae: Millettieae) from South India, pp. 55-63 in Phytotaxa 591 (1)</i> on page 56, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.591.1.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7784270">http://zenodo.org/record/7784270</a>

Public vs Private Schooling in an Endogenous Growth Model
No full textI present an overlapping generations model, with formal education as the engine of growth, close to Glomm and RaviKumar (1992). Contrary to Glomm and Ravikumar, I Show that public schooling, when compared to a private system, may stimulate economic growth.

Optimal auditing and insurance in a dynamic model of tax compliance
No full textWe study the optimal auditing of a taxpayer's income in a dynamic principal-agent model of hidden income. Taxpayers in our model initially have low income and stochastically transit to high income that is an absorbing state. A low-income taxpayer who transits to high income can under-report his true income and evade his taxes. With a constant absolute risk-aversion utility function and a costly auditing technology, we show that the optimal auditing mechanism in our model consists of cycles. Within each cycle, a low-income taxpayer is initially unaudited, but if the duration of low-income report exceeds a threshold, then the auditing probability becomes positive. That is, the tax authority guarantees that the taxpayer will not be audited until the threshold duration is reached. We also find that auditing becomes less frequent if the auditing cost is higher or if the variance of income is lower.Tax compliance, tax auditing, stochastic costly state verification
Fire Management on Container Ships. New Strategies and Technologies
No full textDesign and construction of container ships follow consolidated requirements, with standard consideration of fire management. Indeed, cargo fires can have important consequence on crewmembers and cargoes, as well as impacting coastal zone and marine environment. Innovative strategies include prevention of events and mitigation of consequences. Digital solutions, providing with situational pictures onboard and around the vessel are fundamental for new fire management solutions, seamless and integrated in o the vessel
IT infrastructure, according to IMO regulations and the recent EMSA CARGOSAFE Report. The assessment of these solutions requires theoretical evaluation, validation activities in simulated environment and demonstration activities in real environments, with use cases to prove feasibility and benefits. This paper, after a review of traditional preventing and mitigating solutions against fire and an analysis of container ships fires, proposes applicable innovative technologies and operational measures, emerging problems for their potential implementation and requirements for virtual and real tests design
