Tapping Economies of Scale and Scope in Consumer Cooperation - A Case Analysis of Possible Cooperation among selected Cooperatives
No full textBecause of its narrow and negative perspective of safeguarding the interests of only poor consumers against unethical practices of the private traders, consumer cooperation in India seems to have failed, except probably in some isolated pockets. A number of social welfare functions like poverty alleviation and public distribution of essential items of consumption have been imposed on them at the cost of their basic economics. With the basic micro and macro-economic rationale for consumer cooperatives as a positive form of economic organization being lost sight of, they seem to be facing enormous problems both historically as well as currently in a era of economic liberalization. Their worries seem to have been compounded with the threat of impending competition from large private enterpriss - both domestic and foreign, which highlights the need for evolving strategies to rectivy their systemic weaknesses and tackling the competition head on. This case has attempted to document just such an initiative through a round table conference with several doyens of the consumer cooperative movement in India such as Warana Bazar and Amalsad Mandali as well as some fledging consumer cooperatives from West Bengal which are already in existence for some time or contemplating entry into this field. The roundtable conference organized in the spirit of Cooperation among Cooperatives attempted to evolve strategies to capture economies of scale and scope in order to take on the competition, as well as to facilitate dissemination of ideas and information across the country.
Dr. Monti Datta – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Monti Datta, Assistant Professor of Political Science, discusses his forthcoming new book, Anti-Americanism and the Rise of World Opinion. Drawing from a wealth of research data, interviews and surveys of social media, this book directly examines pro- and anti-American views and asks what we can learn about the nature and impact of world opinion. By treating anti-Americanism as a case study of public opinion at work, Professor Datta reveals how we can better understand the relationship between global citizens and their political leaders, and concludes that anti-Americanism does in fact substantially impact US security, as well as its economic and political interests
The making of Indian diplomacy: a critique of Eurocentrism, by Deep K. Datta-Ray
No full textDeep K. Datta-Ray is one of the very few researchers to have succeeded in spending a significant period of time embedded within India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). As he explains in the introduction to this extraordinary – if sometimes infuriating – book, achieving this rare feat took considerable persistence and high-level intervention. Only after convincing then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of the value of his project was Datta-Ray given clearance to carry out 14 months of interviews with elite Indian Foreign Service (IFS) Officers and their colleagues elsewhere in the bureaucracy.No Full Tex

LMI based Stability and Stabilization of Second-order Linear Repetitive Processes
No full textThis paper develops new results on the stability and control of a class of linear repetitive processes described by a second-order matrix discrete or differential equation. These are developed by transformation of the secondorder dynamics to those of an equivalent first-order descriptor state-space model, thus avoiding the need to invert a possibly ill-conditioned leading coefficient matrix in the original model
Review of the mite genus Krantzolaspina Datta & Bhattacharjee (Mesostigmata, Parholaspididae) with re-description of K. angustatus comb. nov. (Ishikawa) from Indonesia
No full textHerein, we update the diagnosis and description of the genus Krantzolaspina Datta & Bhattacharjee and provide a list of the three valid species including new combinations and synonyms, as follows: 1) Krantzolaspina angustatus (Ishikawa, 1987) comb. nov. (= Indutolaelaps jiroftensis Hajizadeh et al., 2017 syn. nov.), 2) K. rebatii Datta & Bhattacharjee, 1989 and 3) K. solimani (Metwali, 1983) comb. nov. Finally, we re-describe K. angustatus (Ishikawa, 1987) comb. nov. based on the holotype from Japan, voucher specimens from Iran and additional females that we found in soil samples from oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia
Parallel Algorithms for Certain Matrix Computations
No full textThe complexity of performing matrix computations, such as solving a linear system, inverting a nonsingular matrix or computing its rank, has received a lot of attention by both the theory and the scientific computing communities. In this paper we address some “nonclassical” matrix problems that find extensive applications, notably in control theory. More precisely, we studythe matrix equations AX +XA^T = C and AX - XB = C, the “inverse” of the eigenvalue problem (called pole assignment), and the problem of testing whether the matrix [B AB ... A^nB] has full row rank. For these problems we show two kinds of PRAM algorithms: on one side very fast, i.e. polylog time, algorithms and on the other side almost linear time and processorefficient algorithms. In the latter case, the algorithms rely on basic matrix computations that can be performed efficiently also on realistic machine models

Abstract
This research aims to determine the relationship of the sociological aspects of the author with the inner structure of the poetry Watashi ga Ichiban Kirei Datta Toki by Ibaragi Noriko. This research uses descriptive analysis method, with the author\u27s sociology approach by Wellek and Warren (1994). This research was conducted by describing the object of research then analyzing the relationship of the sociological aspects of the author with the inner structure of the poetry. The result of this research is that there is a relationship between the sociological aspects of the author with the inner structure of poetry, namely on the aspect of the author\u27s social status with the theme and aspect of the author\u27s socio-cultural background with the mandate. From the results of this research, it can be seen that the poetry Watashi ga Ichiban Kirei Datta Toki was written by Ibaragi Noriko based on events that occurred in his life.
Keywords : poetry, inner structure, author\u27s sociolog
Log-space Algorithms for Paths and Matchings in k-trees
No full textReachability and shortest path problems are \NLC\ for general graphs. They are known to be in \Log\ for graphs of tree-width \cite{JT07}. However, for graphs of tree-width larger than , no bound better than \NL\ is known.
In this paper, we improve these bounds for -trees, where is a constant. In particular, the main results of our paper are log-space algorithms for reachability in directed -trees, and for computation of shortest and longest paths in directed acyclic -trees.
Besides the path problems mentioned above, we consider the problem of deciding whether a -tree has a perfect macthing (decision version), and if so, finding a perfect matching (search version), and prove that these problems are \Log-complete.
These problems are known to be in \Ptime\ and in \RNC\ for general graphs, and in \SPL\ for planar bipartite graphs \cite{DKR08}.
Our results settle the complexity of these problems for the class of -trees. The results are also applicable for bounded tree-width graphs, when a tree-decomposition is given as input. The technique
central to our algorithms is a careful implementation of divide-and-conquer approach in log-space, along with some ideas from \cite{JT07} and \cite{LMR07}
