Rest in peace Narayanan Vaghul, the Bhishma pitamah of India's banking industry
No full textNarayanan Vaghul, an Indian banker and philanthropist, died at the age of 88 in his hometown Chennai on 18 May 2024. The ‘accidental banker’ was born in a very modest, large family in rural Tamil Nadu in 1936. Vaghul’s journey to becoming one of the most respected bankers in India is a testament to his exceptional intellect, unwavering dedication, and profound understanding of finance
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Studies on Indian Mymaridae III (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea).
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit ist die dritte einer Publikationsreihe über indische Mymaridae. Sie behandelt die Gattungen Lymaenon Haliday, Polynema Haliday, Maidliella Soyka und Stephanodes Enock. Bestimmungsschlüssel für die indischen Lymaenon-Arten werden gegeben und drei neue Arten dieser Gattung beschrieben. Der generische Status der Polynema-Gruppe wird ausführlich diskutiert; es wird vorgeschlagen, daß Polynema seinen generischen Status behalten möge, während die beiden anderen Genera (Stephanodes und Maidliella) als Untergattungen betrachtet werden sollen. Zwei neue Arten der Untergattung Polynema und eine neue Art der Untergattung Stephanodes werden beschrieben.Nomenklatorische Handlungendelhiensis Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.nigroides Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.tarae Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.indica Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.thornypoda Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.truncata Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.imbricatus Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Stephanodes)), spec. n.The present paper is the third of the series on Indian Mymaridae. In this paper the Genus Lymaenon Haliday, Polynema Haliday, Maidliella Soyka and Stephanodes Enock: have been dealt with. Key to Indian species of Lymaenon has been given and three new species under the genus have been described. The generic status of the Polynema group of insects have been thoroughly discussed, and it is proposed that while Polynema will retain its generic status the other two genera, i.e. Stephanodes and Maidliella should only have the status of subgenera. Two new species under the subgenus Polynema and one species under the subgenus Stephanodes have been described as new to science.Nomenclatural Actsdelhiensis Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.nigroides Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.tarae Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Lymaenon), spec. n.indica Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.thornypoda Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.truncata Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Polynema)), spec. n.imbricatus Narayanan & Subba Rao, 1961 (Polynema (Stephanodes)), spec. n

Exploring image recognition: applying convoluted neural networks and learning to recognize safe cyclists
No full text"Today, there is a need to focus on the mobility revolution that is currently taking place. With the advent of more intelligent data gathering, there is also a growing need for using existing technology and infrastructure to achieve this goal, without incorporating expensive, complicated systems. As single-occupancy give way to shared mobility solutions, combined with regular mass transit and pedestrian-aware street infrastructure (traffic lights, crosswalks etc.), there is a large ""networked mobility system'' that has the potential to be tapped. Moreover, autonomous cars will be here soon, to add to the mix.
With statistics showing an increase in bicyclist related crashes over the last decade and an increase in bicycle-borne road users, there is a necessity for cities and autonomous vehicles to build bicycle safety into their adaptation to the ""driverless future"". This paper is an exploration into the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based Machine Learning (ML) algorithm to identify bicycle-borne road users, who wear helmets.
We use a pre-made CNN framework-YOLO (You Only Look Once), and built around it further. After a brief proof-of-concept test on a publicly available dataset (including extraction, parsing and detection), the algorithm was modified. Some important features were added, such as identifying license plates, faces and encrypting them. Further, there is also a detailed account of using the ML capabilities that the framework is built with, and training it to identify bicycle-borne road users wearing a helmet."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Ramakrishnan Narayanan, accepted the attached license on 2017-07-21 at 13:17.The student, Ramakrishnan Narayanan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-07-21 at 13:34.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-07-21 at 13:47.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11580 on 2018-03-02 at 13:03:11Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-02T20:02:40Z (GMT).
