Fastigium vertices scapus wider, apically narrow with obtuse, a fine median sulcus (Fig. 2C), strong pigmentation on the dorsal side of fastigium as well as the entire pronotum (Fig. 2B, D); anterior margin of pronotum flat, posteriorly concave; tegmen surpassing the hind wing, dorsally flat, clear wing venation, cerci of male strongly bent inward behind the sub genital plate (Fig. 2K), apex of cercus strongly acute with short and stout black spine (Fig. 2M and Fig. 1a), subgenital plate strongly bifurcate, incurved (Fig. 2 J and Fig. 1j). Colouration. Yellowish green colour. Female. Unknown. Type Material. Holotype: ♂, Dharmapuri (N 0 12007 ’11.21’’E 077051 ’.01.94’’), Tamilnadu, India. 11 II 2018. Coll. G. Divya and N. Senthilkumar. Deposited in Gass Forest Museum (GFM), Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu (India). Distribution. Dharmapuri, Tamilnadu, India. Etymology. This species is named in honour of Dr D. C. F. Rentz, Australia. Discussion. The new species is completely differs from P. spinosa, P. myllocerca, P. falcata and P. gracilis on the structure of subgenital plate, supra anal plate, pronotum and fastigium vertices. P. rentzi, sp. nov. is entirely differ from the P. spinosa, P. myllocerca and P. falcata by the shape of cerci and subgenital plate. P. gracilis and P. rentzi, sp. nov. are look-alike however, the subgenital plate is entirely different (Fig. 1j, m). The lateral lobe of pronotum deeper than long, without white band; fairly and smoothly rounded not forming angle with disc, sharp emargination at posterior end of insertion. Subgenital plate bilobate at the apex. Distal lobe of subgenital plate not smoothly rounded but pointed. Apex of the cerci abruptly bent inwards. Stridulatory vein large almost as wide as left tegmen; distal end of file as in Fig. 2 E.Published as part of Divya, Govindaraj & Senthilkumar, Natchiappan, 2020, Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Phaneroptera (Tettigoniidae Phaneropterinae) with a new record from Tamilnadu, India, pp. 425-434 in Zootaxa 4860 (3) on page 426, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4860.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/441406

Phototactic Response in Earthworm - "Eisenia foetida"
No full textIt is proved that the reactions which are typical of the life in the burrow are more definite and controlled by weaker stimuli then reaction in the open, and this may be expresses by saying that the earthworm's organization is more highly adapted for life in the burrow. Reactions in the axial direction a definite and sensitive to stimuli then lateral movements in response to light. Dr. Tasneem Jahan | D.

Merchants of Virtue
No full textMerchants of Virtue explores the question of what it meant to be Hindu in precolonial South Asia. Divya Cherian presents a fine-grained study of everyday life and local politics in the kingdom of Marwar in eighteenth-century western India to uncover how merchants enforced their caste ideals of vegetarianism and bodily austerity as universal markers of Hindu identity. Using legal strategies and alliances with elites, these merchants successfully remade the category of “Hindu,” setting it in contrast to “Untouchable” in a process that reconfigured Hinduism in caste terms. In a history pertinent to understanding India today, Cherian establishes the centrality of caste to the early-modern Hindu self and to its imagination of inadmissible others.
“A refreshingly different perspective on the history of caste and untouchability in India, enlarging the field of scholarship from its focus on the colonial era by telling us how precolonial configurations of power in the locality shaped the everyday experience of caste.” — GOPAL GURU, coauthor of The Cracked Mirror and Experience, Caste, and the Everyday Social
“This provocative and empirically rich study offers a plenitude of fascinating insights into aspects of western Indian history ca. 1800, from kingship and caste hierarchy to abortion and alcohol consumption. Particularly innovative is its focus on the critical role played by merchants in articulating social identities that became widespread in modern times.” — CYNTHIA TALBOT, author of The Last Hindu Emperor
“A pathbreaking book that explodes essentialist views of the construction of Hindu and Muslim identities in precolonial India. Divya Cherian provocatively argues that the category of ‘Hindu’ was the primary locus for a system of radical othering that excluded Untouchables (and Muslims as Untouchables) through mechanisms of state, law, and everyday life.” — CHRISTIAN LEE NOVETZKE, Professor of South Asian and Religious Studies, University of Washingto

Improved collision detection in StarLogo Nova
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2015.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (page 65).StarLogo Nova is blocks-based educational software that allows students to write and play their own 3D games online. It is the online version of StarLogo TNG. This thesis explores the problem of needing more accurate collision detection in StarLogo Nova while maintaining reasonable performance. Three new collision detection systems for StarLogo Nova are developed and evaluated. Compared to the spheres used to perform collision checks in the current system, the first new system, called the TightestFitCollider, introduces a variety of bounding spheres, bounding boxes, and bounding capsules as bounding structures that may fit the models in StarLogo Nova more closely. The second system, called the HierarchicalCollider, uses hierarchies of bounding boxes to perform even more precise collision detection than the TightestFitCollider. Finally, the third system combines the first two systems, so that the advantages of each can be used as appropriate. The three systems are evaluated for their accuracy and performance within the StarLogo Nova framework.by Divya Bajekal.M. Eng
