No full textBiology of mealybug, Planococcus cajani Mukherjee & Mukhopadhyay has been worked out. Mode of reproduction of the insect is sexual and oviparous. The female and male nymphs moult thrice and four times, respectively in 16-21 (18.41 ± 1.70) days and 13-19 (16.26 ± 2.0) days at 28.1-29.9°C and 84-93% R.H. to attain their adulthood. The male : female ratio is 1 : 1.30. The pre-oviposition and oviposition period, fecundity and incubation period of eggs are : 2-5 (3.4 ± 1.35) days, 3-7 (4.6 ± 1.49) days, 54-225 (163.16 ± 57.86) eggs/female and 4.5-6.0 (5.2 ± 5.0) days, respectively
Transmuted Mukherjee Islam Failure Model
No full textIn this paper, we have introduced Transmuted Mukherjee Islam Failure Model (TMIFM) by using the quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM) studied by Shaw and Buckley (2007) to develop a Transmuted Mukherjee Islam Failure Model. The different characteristics as well as structural properties of this distribution are derived and the estimation of the model parameters are performed by maximum likelihood method. We have also derived expressions for the PDF of 1st order, nth order and rth order statistics

No full textIn this paper, we study the family of distributions termed as exponentiated mukherjee-islam distribution. The distribution has three parameters (one scale and two shape). The survival function, failure rate and moments of the distributions have been derived. The maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters and their asymptotics have been discussed and also the order statistics have been derived

Holotype male, labelled ‘ Holotype Robackia aequilongia sp. n., India, West Bengal, Purulia [23.1481° N, 86.5451° E], 08.iii.2020, Coll. T. Mukherjee’. Paratype 1 male, labelled ‘ Paratype Robackia aequilongia sp. n., India, West Bengal, Burdwan [23°22ʹN, 87°85ʹE], 15.vi.2020, Coll. N. Hazra’. Diagnostic characters. The adult male is distinguished from other species of the genus Robackia by the presence of a distally bilobed superior volsella, rounded posterior ventral margin of tergite IX and absence of strong setae on tergite IX. Etymology. The name ‘ aequilongia ’, a Latin word, derived from ‘ aequilongi ’, refers to bilobed superior volsella. Male (n=2) Total length 3.7 mm. Wing length 1.9–1.93 mm. Costal length 1.81–1.85 mm. Antennal length 0.94–0.97 mm. Colouration. Thorax yellowish brown, leg colour light brown, abdomen yellow to light brown. Head. Head width 510–530, 520 µm. Temporal setae 8–10 (IV 2–3, OV 4–5, Po 2). Clypeal setae 12. Frontal tubercle absent. Eyes bare with dorsomedial extension of 120–130 µm. Ultimate flagellomere 630–660 µm long; AR 2.03–2.13. Length of palpomeres (I–V) (µm): 20: 40: 90: 100: 160. CA 0.53–0.56, 0.54. Thorax. Antepronotum notched, scutal tubercle absent, antepronotal 0, dorsocentrals 8, scutellars 4. Others not countable. Wing (Fig.1A). VR 1.05. R with 1 seta, R 1 and R 4+5 bare. Brachiolum with 2 setae. Squama with 13 fringed setae. Anal lobe well developed. Legs. Fore tibia with 1–2 setae. Mid legs with 2 tibial spurs; 23.6–25.3 µm and 23 µm long with 28–30 teeth. Hind leg with 2 tibial spurs; 27.6–29.9 µm and 16.1–18.4 µm long with 42–44 teeth. Lengths (µm) and proportions of leg segments shown in table 1. Abdomen. Tergite IX with numerous ventral setae. Rounded posterior ventral margin of tergite IX and absence of strong setae on tergite IX. Hypopygium (Figs. 1B–E). Anal tergite band V shaped. Anal point parallel sided, distally rounded; 43.7–46 µm long, 11.5 µm wide. Anal point bearing 3–4 lateral setae on each side. Transverse sternapodeme 34.5–36.8 µm long. Superior volsella (Fig. 1D) bilobed, subequal in size; inner part rod like, 50.6 µm long with 1 apical and 1 subapical setae arising from strong base and outer part bare, apically little swollen, 55.2–57.5 µm long, 6.9–9.2 µm wide at base and 13.8 µm wide at apex. Inferior volsella small, disc like, microtrichiose. Gonocoxite 144.9–149.5 µm long. Gonostylus 169.7–172.5 µm long. HR 0.85–0.87; HV 2.47–2.51. Distribution. West Bengal, India (present record). Remarks. The new species is closely related to R. parallela Yan et Wang, 2006, in having more or less similar LR, equal number of dorsocentrals and parallel-sided anal point but differs in the shape of superior volsella (digitiform in C. parallela while it is bilobed in the new species), number of setae on anal point (12 weak setae in C. parallela while 6 weak setae in new one), squamal setae (5 in C. parallela while 13 in new one) and R vein (3 in C. parallela while 1 in new one). Robackia pilicauda Saether, 1977 has a distally swollen superior volsella and nearly parallel-sided anal point, but the combination of characters such as the presence of setae on the inner part of bilobed superior volsella, absence of strong setae on tergite IX, reduced number of seta(e) on R vein and numerous setae on squama can easily distinguish the new species from R. pilicauda.Published as part of Mukherjee, Bindarika & Hazra, Niladri, 2022, First records of three genera, Cyphomella Saether, 1977, Olecryptotendipes Zorina, 2007 and Robackia Saether, 1977 of the Harnischia complex from India with description of O. extentus sp. n., O. obtunsus sp. n. and R. aequilongia sp. n.

Cauchy principal values and finite parts of boundary integrals - Revisited
No full textThe relationship between Finite Parts (FPs) and Cauchy Principal Values (CPVs) (when they exist) of certain integrals has been previously studied by Toh and Mukherjee [Toh K-C, Mukherjee S. Hypersingular and finite part integrals in the boundary element method. Int J Solids Struct 1994;31:2299-2312] and Mukherjee [Mukherjee S. CPV and HFP integrals and their applications in the boundary element method. Int J Solids Struct 2000;37:6623-6634, Mukherjee S. Finite parts of singular and hypersingular integrals with irregular boundary source points. Engrg Anal Bound Elem 2000;24:767-776]. This paper continues this study and presents and proves an interesting new relationship between the CPV and FP of certain boundary integrals (on closed boundaries) that occur in Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) formulations of some common Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) in science and engineering.</p
A universal explicit electron correlation correction applied to Mukherjee's multi-reference perturbation theory
No full textWe present a universally applicable explicit electron correlation (F12) correction and apply it to Mukherjee's multi-reference perturbation theory (Mk-MRPT2). Two different F12 corrections are proposed: one is a universal F12 correction which is added to the conventional orbital correction, which is referred to as Mk-MRPT2+F12. In the second type of F12 correction the individual F12 contributions are added to each matrix element of the effective Hamiltonian. Subsequent diagonalization yields the Mk-MRPT2-F12 correction. Thereby, we achieve for both F12 corrections the accuracy of a quadruple-zeta basis set calculation when a triple-zeta basis set is employed and the F12 correction is added. Both F12 corrections reduce to MP2-F12/1A (fixed) in the single-reference limit. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
