Computerised library system and the legal profession
No full textThe author explores the computer applications and computerised methods of functioning that have become prevalent in India both in the library system and in the legal profession in India. However, Patil argues that modern technology and managerial techniques evolved during the last few years in India are no substitute for a capable and efficient administrator, who could use these tools to achieve the goals set for law libraries and to the legal profession. The prospects of introducing modern technology in India depends on administrative, physical, and operational decisions. Further, such a system finally created with its infrastructure, may give lead for the establishment of world-wide information network activities. (Editor’s abstract.
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Elements of Ethnotaxonomy in Dhule and Nandurbar Districts (Maharashtra)
No full textDhule and Nandurbar districts of Maharashtra are mainly inhabited by tribals and rural folks. The author’s ethnobotanical and floristic forays in these districts brought out certain elements of ethnotaxonomy like ethnotaxonomic markers, classifications, principles of nomenclature and exomorphic features. The facts gathered indicated that the people in the area are fairly flooded with reckonable elements of ethnotaxonomy. And 22 ethnotaxonomic markers are identified. These are evaluated and discussed pertinently in this paper.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Post Graduate Department of Botany, S.S.V.P.S’s L.K.

Influence of geometric parameters on 3D periodic lattice effective properties
No full textLattice materials are generated by tessellating a unit cell, composed of a specific truss configurations, in an infinite periodicity to combine the effect of bulk material properties and geometric periodicity. They offer enhanced mechanical and dynamic properties per unit mass, and the ability to engineer the material response by optimizing the unit cell. Characterizing lattice properties through experiments can be a time consuming and costly process, so analytical and numerical methods are crucial. Specifically, the Bloch-wave homogenization approach allows one to characterize the effective static properties of the lattice unit cell while simultaneously analyzing wave propagation properties. While this analysis has been used for some time, a thorough study of this approach on 3D lattice materials with different symmetries and geometries is presented here. Using Bloch-wave homogenization, multiple periodic lattices with cubic, transversely isotropic, and tetragonal symmetry, including an auxetic geometry, over a wide range of relative densities are analyzed within a finite element framework. The effect of geometric parameters on lattice properties is discussed and a comparison between lattices based on their anisotropy index is presented. Method studied in this thesis can be extended for designing multifunctional metamaterials with optimized static and dynamic properties simultaneously. This work can also serve as the basis for nondestructive evaluation of metamaterials properties using ultrasonic velocity measurements.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Ganesh Patil, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-24 at 19:00.The student, Ganesh Patil, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-24 at 19:11.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-25 at 12:03.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13897 on 2019-08-22 at 15:08:33Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:36:11Z (GMT).

The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey
No full textMSA is here told in Amharic. Our 79th language! The story is told in typical fashion, though the ending is surprising. There is no death of the donkey, nor is there a decision by the man. The last word goes to passersby who comment "You fools! Do you carry donkeys?" The moral is, in Google translate, "If you try to please everyone, you can please no one." Strong simple illustrations have the two walking through desert to Gebiya. 46 pages. 6" x 9".This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: AmharicNo Autho
Assessment of water quality of selected tube wells in Amalner town of Jalgaon district, Maharashtra
No full textAuthor Order and Research Quality
No full textSouthern Economic Journal © 2005 Southern Economic AssociationWe observe a great deal of heterogeneity in the manner in which author orderings are assigned both across and within academic markets. To better understand this phenomenon, we develop and analyze a stochastic model of author orderings. In our model, authors work equally hard to obtain priority in listings but final contributions are stochastic. Further, research outlets differ in their quality hurdles. In this setting, our simulation results are consistent with two empirical regularities. First, we find that the rate of alphabetization increases with the stringency with which papers are accepted for publication. Second, conditional on clearing the publication hurdle, quality increases with alphabetization. These findings arise because increases in the publication hurdle make it more likely that authors will exceed this threshold only when both contribute a high amount. This, in turn, leads to roughly equal contributions (alphabetization) and also generates a positive correlation between alphabetization and quality

Structural organization of a major neuronal g protein regulator, the RGS7-Gβ5-R7BP complex
No full textSignaling by the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) plays fundamental role in a vast number of essential physiological functions. Precise control of GPCR signaling requires action of regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins that deactivate heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are elaborately regulated and comprise multiple domains and subunits, yet structural organization of these assemblies is poorly understood. Here, we report a crystal structure and dynamics analyses of the multisubunit complex of RGS7, a major regulator of neuronal signaling with key roles in controlling a number of drug target GPCRs and links to neuropsychiatric disease, metabolism, and cancer. The crystal structure in combination with molecular dynamics and mass spectrometry analyses reveals unique organizational features of the complex and long-range conformational changes imposed by its constituent subunits during allosteric modulation. Notably, several intermolecular interfaces in the complex work in synergy to provide coordinated modulation of this key GPCR regulator. © Patil et al
