Carapace transversely subovate, convex, regions poorly marked, 1.3 wide as long (excluding lateral spines). Dorsal surface covered with uniformly-sized closely-spaced rounded granules. Conic, granular protuberances, diminishing in size posteriorly, disposed in 7 radial rows on dorsal surface of carapace. Mesogastric region highest part of carapace. Gastric, cardiac, intestinal regions separated from branchial regions by shallow, sinuous longitudinal grooves. Anterolateral margin arcuate, crenulate, with 11–12 granular triangular denticles. Lateral spine slim, acuminate, slightly curved forward, upward, about one tenth carapace width, minutely granular on upper surface. Posterolateral margins closely beaded, undulate, sharply convergent. Posterior margin beaded, lateral teeth broadly triangular, dorsoventrally flattened, median lobe obsolescent. Front as wide as orbit, setose. Frontal margin projecting beyond orbits, trilobate, median lobe on lower plane than lateral lobes, triangular, tip upcurved; lateral lobes rounded, separated from supraorbital margin by shallow concavity. Antennules obliquely folded. Supraorbital margin with single fissured, closely beaded, with long plumose setae. Inner orbital tooth ogival, separated from outer orbital margin by U-shaped cleft, by orbital hiatus from front. Antennae small, slender, basal segment article subrectangular, lodged in orbital hiatus. Eyes retractable, eyestalk short, granular, setose. Buccal frame rhomboidal, narrowing anteriorly. Third maxilliped exopod thickly fringed with plumose setae; ischium endopod bears granular row distally that forms stridulating organ when rasped against milled ridge on dactylus of chela. Subhepatic region tomentose. Sternum granular. Male abdomen with prominent trilobate carina on second somite, rounded lateral lobes separated from lower, wider median lobe by deep grooves; somites 3–5 fused; sixth somite subquadrate, lateral margins sinuous; telson triangular, slightly shorter than sixth somite. Female abdomen with somites 3–6 articulated; sixth abdominal somite trapezoidal, lateral margins sinuous, distally with rounded concavities fitting conic ‘buttons’ raised on margins of abdominal cavity; telson ogival, as long as sixth somite. Chelipeds massive, subequal. Merus dorsodistally bispinose, distal spine longer, stouter than subdistal spine. Antero-distal margin of carpus ending in triangular denticle. Upper margin of manus crested, setose, with 7 denticles, 3 proximal teeth successively larger, distal teeth laciniate. External surface of manus with rounded granules, 3 granular conic tubercles horizontally in mid chela; keel-like, indistinctly trilobate ridge above lower margin, proximal lobe triangular, margin minutely granular. Lower margin granular, serrate, serrations successively smaller proximally. Internal surface of manus with tomentose band near lower margin. Upper margin of dactylus crested, setose, proximally prominently granular; inner surface of dactylus with stridulating ridge consisting of about 30 striae, elongated, closely stacked proximally, rounded, spaced in distal half. Right chela with curved rounded tooth proximally fitting into depression in molariform tooth in pollex. Pereiopods 2–5 long, slender, laterally compressed; upper, lower margins of meri 2–5 minutely granular; carpi 2, 3 with 3 granular carinae, middle carina more prominently granular, distally spinose, carpus 4 with 2 granulate carina, distally spinose, carpus 5 with obsolete carinae, lacking terminal spine; propodi 2–4 with cristate, granular upper margin, crested upper margin of fifth P 5 propodus smooth, slanted posteriorly; dactyli longer than propodi, styliform, fluted, tips corneous. First male gonopod tapering evenly, curved, distally spinous (Fig. 9 a–d). Second male gonopod long, slender; corneous distal portion tightly crook-shaped, tip twisted inwards, up-curved (Fig. 7 c, d). Female abdominal cavity densely set with minute setae, distally (covered by telson) with patches of longer setae. Vulva covered with subhemispherical hard cap laterally bordered by smooth protuberance, triangular knob mesially. Etymology. From the Latin, arabica for the locality of the type specimens, the Arabian Sea. Remarks. Mursia arabica n. sp. shares with M. bicristimana and M. buwaya Galil & Takeda, 2004, a prominent, keel-like ridge on the outer surface of the palm and the shape of the second male gonopod. The new species differs from M. bicristimana in its shorter lateral carapace spines and the shape of the trilobate carina on second male abdominal somite. Mursia arabica n. sp. differs from M. buwaya additionally in the sculpture on the external surface of the palm. The photograph of a male specimen by Spiridonov & Apel (2007: 2864, figs. 5, 7a; SMF 22942) from the Gulf of Aden, assigned to M. bicristimana, compares well with the new species. The material from the western Gulf of Aden of Lloyd (1907) identified as M. bicristimana, may be conspecific with the new species. Loyd’s material, probably deposited in the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, could not be examined. Distribution. Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea.Published as part of Kumar, Biju A., Kumar, M.

Optimization of an M/M/1/N Feedback Queue with Retention of Reneged Customers
No full textCustomer impatience has become a threat to the business world. Firms employ various customer retention strategies to retain their impatient (or reneged) customers. Customer retention mechanisms may help to retain some or all impatient customers. Further, due to unsatisfactory service, customers may rejoin a queue immediately after departure. Such cases are referred to as feedback customers. Kumar and Sharma take this situation into account and study an M/M/1/N feedback queuing system with retention of reneged customers. They obtain only a steady-state solution for this model. In this paper, we extend the work of Kumar and Sharma by performing an economic analysis of the model. We develop a model for the costs incurred and perform the appropriate optimization. The optimum system capacity and optimum service rate are obtained. (original abstract

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

The specimens from Thailand agree with <i>Monatractides tuzovskyi</i> Pesic <i>et al.</i> 2006 due to the elongated idiosoma (e.g., dorsal shield L/W>1.5), P-2 and P-3 with a heavy ventral setae, P-4 without ventral denticles, a capitulum with elongated rostrum and Cx-4 posteriorly extended far beyond the genital field. Differences (in parentheses data taken from Kumar <i>et al.</i> 2006) are found in its smaller idiosoma and palp dimensions (e.g., idiosoma L 831, dorsal shield L 681, genital field L/W 169/132, palp total L 180). However, due to the fact that the male is not yet described, this is only a tentative assignment. The variability needs to be examined to clarify the taxonomy.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>.

ZSI / WGRC /IR/INV.18438–18439, 20431–20432. Diagnosis. Dorsal side of pronotum anteriorly with complete carina; lateral side of pronotum with distinct transdiscal groove; metanotum with less number of punctures; propodeal areola tricarinate; carina of propodeal areola margined by crenulations; Gs 2 without anterior transverse carina; hind basitarsus without groove; fore wings brown infumated. Description. Holotype, ♀. Body length 10.8 mm. Paratypes, ♀. Body length 6.5–11.2 mm. Colour. Black with the following parts as follows: lower part and outer margin of tegula yellowish brown (Fig. 9), mandible dark brown (Fig. 8). Head. Head with medium sized punctures concentrated adjacently in lower frontal area and sparsely on upper frontal area (Fig. 8); HW 1.56 × least distance between eyes; POD 2.4 × LOD and 0.73 × OOD; mandible without strong preapical denticle (Fig. 4); clypeus with its median extension nearly straight or very slightly emarginated, basal part of median extension of clypeus imbricate, half of apical part of median extension of clypeus with coarse and dense punctures, extreme apex smooth (Fig.4); scape, pedicel and first flagellomere shiny with punctures, second flagellomere with its apical small region smooth and shiny, other flagellomeres with thick setae (Fig.3); length of scape: pedicel: fu 1: fu 2: fu 3: fu 4: fu 5: fu 6: fu 7: fu 8: fu 9: fu 10 = 0.493: 0.197: 0.204: 0.208: 0.209: 0.209: 0.210: 0.211: 0.211: 0.211: 0.214: 0.388 (Fig. 3). Mesosoma. Dorsal side of pronotum anteriorly with carina, most of disc with punctures and posterior area with impunctate area (Fig. 9); lateral side of pronotum with distinct transdiscal groove across middle of disc, smooth with faint aciculations above groove and striations below the groove (Fig. 5); length of tegula 1.36 × as long as its middle width (Fig. 9); mesoscutum with its notauli not connected to anteriomedian escarpment, mesoscutum medially with closely placed punctures and sparse punctures in other areas (Fig. 9); scutellum with large punctures on posterior margin and small ones at basal part; metanotum with small, sparsely placed punctures (Fig. 9); dorsal side of propodeum entirely finely imbricate with small scattered punctures, strong submarginal carina on lateral side (Fig. 9); lateral carina of areola convex on basal portion and straight in apical portion, areolar carina with crenulations, length of areola 1.8 × basal width and 2.1 × apical width (Fig. 9); mesopleuron coriaceous punctate with setae; upper part of lateral side of propodeum with uniformely spaced rugulae and lower part smooth (Fig. 5); fore wing brownish infumate (Fig. 10); hind basitarsus without groove on inner surface. Length of mesosoma: 3.5 mm. Metasoma. All tergites with setigerous punctures, distribution of punctures less in Gt 1 compared to other remaining segments (Fig. 6); pygidium imbricate punctate on more than half of basal portion and smooth on apical part. Length of metasoma: 5.36 mm. Male. Unknown. Variations. In some specimens, metanotum with coarse deep punctures; carina of propodeal areola not margined by crenulations. Discussion. As per the key of Allen (1975), this new species comes close to Tiphia cinchonae Allen in the following features: lateral side of pronotum with a distinct transdiscal groove; dorsal side of propodeum with submarginal carina, hind basitarsus without groove, dorsal pronotum with complete transverse carina, not inflated hind tibia, Gs 2 without anterior transverse carina, and dorsal side of propodeum without longitudinal carina between areola and lateral margin but this new species differs from T. (T.) cinchonae in the following features: wings brown infumated (in T. (T.) cinchonae, wings yellowish hyaline); carina of propodeal areola margined by crenulations (in T. (T.) cinchonae, carina of propodeal areola not margined by crenulations); tegula brownish black (in T. (T.) cinchonae, tegula yellowish orange), and medium-sized (6.5–11.2 mm) species (T. (T.) cinchonae are small-sized (5.5–6 mm) species). Distribution. India: Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, West Bengal. Etymology. The species is named in honor of Mr. T. Biju (Forest watcher at Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary, Kannur, Kerala and former GSDP student of WGRC, ZSI, Kozhikode), who is an expert field assistant and collected various Tiphia specimens for the present study.Published as part of Hanima, Raveendran K.
