Case-Based Reasoning Systems
No full textThis book reports on a set of recently implemented intelligent systems, having the case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology as their core. The selected works witness the heterogeneity of the domains in which CBR can be exploited, but also reveal some common directions that are clearly emerging in this specific research area. The present chapter provides a brief introduction to CBR, for readers unfamiliar with the topic. It then summarizes the main research contributions that will be presented in depth in the following chapters of this book
Innovations in Case-Based Reasoning Applications
No full textIn this book, we have colleted a selection of papers on very recent Case-based reasoning (CBR) applications. Most of these propose interesting and unique methodological choices. The heterogeneity of the involved application domains indicates the flexibility of CBR, and its applicability in all those fields where experiential knowledge is (readily) available. The present chapter provides a brief introduction to CBR, for readers unfamiliar with the topic. It then summarizes the main research hints that will be analyzed in depth in the following chapters of this book

Teleogryllus rohinae Jaiswara & Jain 2021, sp. nov.
No full textTeleogryllus rohinae Jaiswara & Jain, sp. nov. Figures 1, 4A–H, 5E, 6D, 7E, 8C, 9D, 10I–L, 11E–F & 12; Table 3 Type locality: India, Kerala, Nileshwar, Bekal Club, 5km from Nileshwar Railway Station. Type material: Holotype — INDIA: Kerala, Bekal Club, 8km from Nileshwar Railway Station, 1 male (MJO _ 1177), 7m asl, 12° 16′ 20. 3′′ N 75° 6′ 47.4′′ E, 24.i.2017, R. Jaiswara and M. Jain, ZSI Kolkata. Allotype — INDIA: Kerala, Bekal Club, 8km from Nileshwar Railway Station, 1 female (MJO _1169), 7m asl, 12° 16′ 20. 3′′ N 75° 6′ 47. 4′′ E, 24.i.2017, R. Jaiswara and M. Jain, ZSI Kolkata. Paratypes — INDIA: Kerala, Bekal Club, 12° 16′ 20.3′′ N 75° 6′ 47.4′′ E, 7m asl, 8km from Nileshwar Railway Station, 24.i.2017, 5 male (MJO _1175–1179) and 5 female (MJO _1159–1163), collected by R. Jaiswara and M. Jain, thereafter deposited in IISER Mohali. Distribution: Currently known only from the type locality. Etymology: This new species is named in honour of Professor Rohini Balakrishnan, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, for introducing RJ and MJ to the cricket model system and in recognition of her significant contribution to the understanding of the behaviour and ecology of Indian crickets. Name in apposition—gender feminine. Habitat: T. rohinae Jaiswara & Jain sp. nov. was primarily found in Cucurbitaceae plantations and sometimes on open grassland areas having moist soil. Diagnosis: Very similar to T. occipitalis (Serville, 1838) in external morphology, but mainly differing in male (Fig. 10I–K) and female (Fig. 11E–F) genitalia structures. T. rohinae Jaiswara & Jain, sp. nov. also resembles T. emma (Ohmachi & Matsuura, 1951). Still, according to the morphological descriptions of T. emma by Libin et al. (2015), it differs mainly in the male genitalia (female genitalia not known for T. emma). Male. FW stridulatory apparatus: stridulatory file with 235 to 252 teeth (mean 242, n=3); harp with 4–6 usually (occasionally 3). Description: In addition to the characters of the genus: medium sized cricket very similar to T. occipitalis. Legs. TIII with 5–6 inner and 6–7 outer sub-apical spurs; basitarsomeres III with 3–4 inner and 5–7 outer spines. Color. Body, head and pronotum dark brown (Fig. 3A–B, 5E & 6D). Inner margins of eyes with a thick yellow band (Fig. 10L), sometimes wide enough to make vertex look yellowish. Male. FW covering the epiproct fully or slightly longer (Fig. 5E), HW always longer than abdomen; harp with 3–4 regularly spaced oblique veins with a horizontal middle part (sometimes 1–2 faint veins at the angle of 1 st anal vein) (Fig. 7E). Stridulatory file with 235 to 252 teeth (mean 242, n=3); teeth on the stridulatory vein as on Fig. 8C. Mirror longer than wide; apical field with 4–5 cell alignments; lateral field with 12–13 veins (Fig. 7E). Male genitalia. Pseudepiphallic sclerite rather square-shaped in dorsal view, posterior margin slightly pointed from the middle, vertex rounded and smooth with convex lateral margins and almost at the level of median structure (Fig. 10I). In lateral view: pseudepiphallic sclerite very similar to T. occipitalis and T. emma; pseudepiphallic apodeme as wide as its base (Fig. 10J–K). Female. Body size slightly bigger than males. FWs overlapping 2/3 rd of its width, length restricted up to 7 th abdominal tergite or extended slightly beyond epiproct; dorsal field with 11 diagonally parallel longitudinal veins; lateral field with 11–13 veins (Fig. 9D). HWs very long extended beyond the abdomen (Fig. 6D). Female genitalia. Copulatory organ sharply tapering anteroposterior and sclerotized posteriorly (Fig. 11E, F). Acoustic signal: Calls of T. rohinae consist of two kinds of chirps (long and short) interspersed with each other (Fig. 12A). The short chirps are 0.402 ± 0.024s while the longer chirps are more variable with a chirp duration of 0.677 ± 0.331s (mean SD). The short chirps consist of 6.35 0.93 syllables, while the longer chirps consist of 19.5 ± 8.6 syllables per chirp (mean ±SD). While T. rohinae Jaiswara & Jain s p. nov. and T. emma have similar call patterns with long and short calls, they vary in the number of syllables per chirp. Further, the dominant frequency for T. emma has been reported to be 3.7 kHz (Lu et al. 2018), whereas, for T. rohinae, we determined it to be at 5.3 ± 0.16 kHz (Fig. 12B).Published as part of Jaiswara, Ranjana, Desutter-Grandcolas, Laure & Jain, Manjari, 2021, Taxonomic revision of Teleogryllus mitratus (Burmeister, 1838) and T. occipitalis (Serville, 1838) in India, withthe description of Teleogryllus rohinae Jaiswara & Jain sp. nov. and a key for Teleogryllus species from India (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), pp. 81-106 in Zootaxa 5016 (1) on pages 91-93, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5016.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/522184
Jain Rāmāyaṇa Narratives
No full textJain Rāmāyaṇa Narratives: Moral Vision and Literary Innovation traces how and why Jain authors at different points in history rewrote the story of Rāma and situates these texts within larger frameworks of South Asian religious history and literature. The book argues that the plot, characters, and the very history of Jain Rāma composition itself served as a continual font of inspiration for authors to create and express novel visions of moral personhood. In making this argument, the book examines three versions of the Rāma story composed by two authors, separated in time and space by over 800 years and thousands of miles. The first is Raviṣeṇa, who composed the Sanskrit Padmapurāṇa (“The Deeds of Padma”), and the second is Brahma Jinadāsa, author of both a Sanskrit Padmapurāṇa and a vernacular (bhāṣā) version of the story titled Rām Rās (“The Story of Rām”). While the three compositions narrate the same basic story and work to shape ethical subjects, they do so in different ways and with different visions of what a moral person actually is. A close comparative reading focused on the differences between these three texts reveals the diverse visions of moral personhood held by Jains in premodernity and demonstrates the innovative narrative strategies authors utilized in order to actualize those visions. The book is thus a valuable contribution to the fields of Jain studies and religion and literature in premodern South Asia
Introduction to big data and data science: Methods and applications
No full textBig data and data science are transforming our world today in ways we could not have imagined at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The accompanying wave of innovation has sparked advances in healthcare, engineering, business, science, and human perception, among others. In this chapter we discuss big data and data science to establish a context for the state-of-the-art technologies and applications in this book. In addition, to provide a starting point for new researchers, we present an overview of big data management and analytics methods. Finally, we suggest opportunities for future research
Zeroes of p-adic L-functions: the Ellenberg-Jain-Venkatesh conjecture
No full textWe introduce p-adic L-functions and their main properties using Mazur's contruction and p-adic measures; we also discuss what is known and what is expected about the distribution of zeroes for both complex and p-adic L-functions. After this, we focus on the study of the Elienberg-Jain-Venkatesh conjecture (2011) about the zeroes of family of p-adic L-functions corresponding to imaginary quadratic fields; we support this study also by doing some numerical experiments on the lambda invariants and on the order of these zeroes.ope
