There were 6 types of datasets associated with this effort: 1) Biochemistry - biochemical analysis of leaves, 2) Fruit quality, 3) Growth and productivity data, 4) Growth environment and light spectral data, 5) physiological data - Light response curves and spot gas exchange data and 6) Spectral indices- Leaf spectral indices measured using reflectance measurements
Working for Indian Association for Social Psychiatry: Challenges and opportunities
No full textAs psychiatry made a steady progress in India, organizations such as the Indian Psychiatric Society and Indian Association for Social Psychiatry (IASP) also grew in strength. These organizations played a crucial role in facilitating research and promoting academic interest in the field of mental health in India. It was felt that there is a great need to have a look into the sociocultural factors and their role in the phenomenology, course, and outcome in mental health problems, especially in the Indian context, with its rich and diverse sociocultural milieu. It was also well acknowledged that the treatment of mental disorders involved a multidisciplinary approach and nonpharmacological management was at least as important as medications. These factors fostered the birth of IASP (in January 1984), which was a distinct organization with different mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers, and psychiatric nurses) that sought to focus on social issues in psychiatry. Over a period IASP was able to create a niche for itself not only in India but globally as well; hosting of World Congress of Social Psychiatry, the prestigious academic event of World Association of Social Psychiatry in 2016 further strengthened IASP's position in the international forum. Nevertheless, IASP did have to struggle from time to time and circumvent around challenging issues. This narrative gives a bird's eye view (as seen by BS Chavan, former Secretary General of IASP) of how IASP evolved over time and how it traversed hurdles to become what it is today

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)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Phase change phenomena on water repelling and biphilic surfaces
No full textThis Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-04-10 at 09:54.Water-repelling surfaces have been studied for many decades. Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces are beneficial in phase change heat transfer applications, specifically during condensation because of the enhanced heat transfer and during freezing because of the anti-freezing properties. The current study is focused on enhanced phase change phenomena on superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces. Hydrophobic surfaces that enable dropwise condensation exhibit 5-10X higher heat transfer. Coalescence induced droplet jumping on superhydrophobic surfaces further increases the heat transfer by 30%. Here, biphilic surfaces consisting of hydrophilic spots on a superhydrophobic background are studied for enhanced condensation. Water droplets nucleating at the hydrophilic spots grow to sizes defined by the biphilic geometry, followed by coalescence and departure. A high fidelity model that captures departure dynamics during droplet jumping on biphilic surfaces and predict the overall condensation heat transfer has been developed. By controlling the spatial geometry and length scale of the hydrophilic spots, enhanced (10X) jumping-droplet condensation heat transfer is obtained.
In terms of freezing and frost formation, understanding the mechanisms of frost formation is essential to a variety of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) applications. When water vapor in the ambient condenses on a chilled substrate in the form of liquid water and then freezes, it is known as condensation frosting. The dominant mechanism governing the spread of condensation frosting is inter-droplet ice bridge frost wave propagation. When a subcooled condensate water droplet freezes on a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surface, neighboring droplets still in the liquid phase begin to evaporate. The evaporated water molecules deposit on the frozen droplet and initiate the growth of ice bridges directed toward the water droplets being depleted. Neighboring liquid droplets freeze as soon as the ice bridge connects. In this study, the significance of individual droplet freezing on frost wave propagation is studied. 10X slower frost wave propagation speeds on superhydrophobic surfaces are observed. Furthermore, at larger length scales, during bulk freezing of water, it has been shown that superhydrophobic surfaces offer no delay in freezing.
Although frosting delay has been shown with superhydrophobic surfaces, complete elimination of frosting has not been achieved. Given enough time, frosting will initiate and spread to cover the entire surface. In the HVAC&R sectors, the most common approach to remove frost from a surface (defrost) is to reverse the system cycle direction and heat the working fluid. However, water retention on the heat exchanger surface during defrosting decreases the long term heat transfer performance. In this study, the defrosting behavior of superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces comprising of spatially distinct superhydrophobic and hydrophilic domains is used to accelerate defrosting. During defrosting, biphilic surfaces are shown to exhibit enhanced surface cleaning with no water retention. Furthermore, an ultra-efficient method to defrost a surface covered with ice/frost by focusing energy at the substrate-ice interface is studied. To remove ice/frost efficiently, only the interfacial layer adhering the ice/frost to the solid surface is melted by using a localized ‘pulse’ of heat, allowing gravity or gas shear in conjunction with the ultra-thin lubricating melt water layer to remove the ice/frost. A high fidelity numerical model is developed to simulate pulse defrosting. This work not only provides a fundamental understanding of phase change processes on superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces, but also elucidates its applications for a plethora of energy industries.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Shreyas Chavan, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-09 at 16:13.The student, Shreyas Chavan, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-04-09 at 16:16.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13540 on 2019-08-22 at 16:20:55Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:41Z (GMT).
