Struggle for Allegiance in Arun Joshi’s The City and the River
Get PDFExpanding the canvas of his writing, Arun Joshi produces The City and the River (1991) on its individual to social bubble of life where he delves in the particular instant of the social scenario of Indian society. He leaves the complete grip of individual existential vision of life only enlarging it to the mass or crowd. The novel is, in fact, a satire or commentary on the Emergency, applied by the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi during the 1974-75, which is indeed a black spot on a Democratic country like India. Joshi replicates the actual segment of the Emergency in the form of parable with the multi-layered conceptions of social identity, ambition, freedom, tyranny, corruption, anxiety, murder, bloodshed, spiritual vision and so on. Exposing the condition of Delhi during 1970s and its beautification at the larger extant, M.K. Naik and Shyamala A. Narayan write: a scathing indictment of the notorious Emergency proclaimed by Indira Gandhi in 1975, mainly to preserve her power at all costs. The fundamental rights were suspended, and her brutal power- drunk son, Sanjay, let loose a reign of terror in Delhi, demolishing wantonly the huts of the poor in the name of beautification of the city and restoring to discriminate and forced sterilization as part of population control.

Entrepreneurs who manufacture and market these products are clandestine and operate in the black market. Drawing from this context, this dissertation seeks to advance knowledge on how entrepreneurs strategically use ambiguity in marketing communications, and in relationships with other firms. The first essay examines how and why equivocation is used as a persuasive strategy by sellers of counterfeit products. This essay develops a framework that can help qualitatively and quantitatively identify equivocation rhetoric in firm-generated text. The second essay examines how relationships between firms are managed when one of the firms employs ambiguity as a protection strategy. Specifically, the essay sheds light on how manufacturers and retailers of counterfeit products succeed in maintaining ambiguity, and in managing relationship tension arising from ambiguity. Put together, the essays present an investigation of how counterfeit manufacturers and retailers conduct their marketing functions despite being clandestine and illegal.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-0

Seismic Velocities of the Whitestone Anorthosite and its Mylonitized Equivalents in the Parry Sound Shear Zone
Get PDFTitle: Seismic Velocities of the Whitestone Anorthosite and its Mylonitized Equivalents in the Parry Sound Shear Zone, Author: Arun Sen, Location: ThodeCompressional wave velocities of the Whitestone anorthosite and its mylonitic equivalent in the Parry Sound shear zone have been measured in the field and to two kilobars in a laboratory confining pressure vessel. Mylonitiztion of the anorthosite has resulted in a preferred orientation of constituent minerals and retrograde mineral assemblages. A seimic anisotropy is consequently developed in the mylonite such that the P-wave velocitites are lower for propagation directions perpendicular to mylonite than for its anorthosite protolith. In the field, rock weathering and surface fractures control velocity variations. At low confining pressure (shallow depth) the P-wave velocity anisotropy is controlled by fracturing which is in turn related to the mylonitic fabric. At approximately one kilobar pressure (depths close to five kilometres) where fractures and porosity are insignificant, the P-wave anisotropy is due solely to the aggregate mineral velocities and their solution and their orientations. The undeformed Whitestone anorthosite has an average P-wave velocity of 7.02 km/s measured in three perpendicular directions at 2 kilobars confining pressure. The mylonite has the following P-wave velocities at 2 kilobars confining pressure: 6.83 km/s parallel to both foliation and lineation, 6.70 km/s parallel to foliation and perpendicular to lineation, and 6.57 km/s perpendicular to foliation.ThesisBachelor of Science (BSc
Rare paternal plastid inheritance in arabidopsis
No full textPlastids and mitochondria, in a standard genetic cross, are transmitted to the seed progeny by the maternal parent in Arabidopsis thaliana. My objective was to test, if exceptional pollen transmission of plastid occurs in Arabidopsis, a species in which no plastid DNA could be detected in pollen or sperm cells by cytological methods. The maternal parent was the nuclear male sterile (ms1-1/ms1-1), spectinomycin sensitive Ler ecotype and the pollen parent was the male fertile RLD-Spc1 plant carrying a plastid-encoded spectinomycin resistance mutation. I selected for exceptional pollen transmission in the progeny by spectinomycin resistance encoded in the paternal plastid DNA. I found that plastids, in general, are inherited maternally in Arabidopsis and rare events of paternal plastid transmission to the seed progeny occurs at a low (3.9 x 10-5) frequency. This observation extends previous reports in Nicotiana tabacum (family: Solanaceae) to a cruciferous species suggesting that low frequency paternal leakage of plastids via pollen may be universal in plants previously thought to exhibit strict maternal plastid inheritance.
Two components needed to accomplish this study were a plastid-encoded, spectinomycin resistant mutant as the pollen parent and plastid markers to identify the origin of the plastids in the hybrid seed progeny obtained from the crosses. To identify genetic markers in the Arabidopsis thaliana plastid genome (ptDNA) I amplified and sequenced the rpl2-psbA and rbcL-accD regions in 26 ecotypes. The two regions contained eight polymorphic sites including five insertions and/or deletions (indels) involving changes in the length of A or T mononucleotide repeats and three base substitutions. The 27 alleles provided a practical set of ptDNA markers for the commonly used RLD, Ler, Col and C24 ecotypes. I used a RLD-Spc1 line carrying a plastid-encoded spectinomycin resistant mutation as the pollen parent that was compatible with the Ler maternal parent.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references
A STUDY ON METOPIC SUTURES IN UNKNOWN HUMAN SKULLS
Get PDFAim: Objective of present study is to know the percentages of incidences of complete and incomplete metopic sutures.
Place of the Study: The present study done was on Metopic sutures that came across in dry unknown human skulls in the Department of Anatomy in at Narayan Medical College, Nellore, AP.
Period of Study: This study was carried out during the year 2008-2009.
Materials & Methods: Sixty Two Unknown dry human skulls from the Department of Anatomy in Narayan Medical College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh constituted the material for the present study. Each skull was examined for the i] presence or Absence of metopic sutures, & their number, ii] type [complete or incomplete] iii] their pattern y-shaped, Vshaped, iv] Extent, v] Their location. Any associated bony abnormalities are also examined.
Results: This study showed more percentages of incomplete Metopic sutures-Metopism [25.80%] & less percentages of complete Metopic sutures in [4.838%]%. Complete Metopic sutures extended from Nasion to Bregma in the mid line over the frontal bone, while Incomplete metopic were found at the root of nose.
Conclusion: This difference in percentages of incidences was due to either population or racial or numerical differences
