Informetrics on M. N. Srinivas
No full textM. N. Srinivas, the well known sociologist is widely recognised as architect of modern Indian sociology and social anthropology. His publications have been analysed by year, domain, authorship pattern, channels of communication used. Keywords, etc. The results indicate that the papers published by him are of a nature that qualify him to be a 'role model' for the younger generations to emulate.
By the end of 1995, Srinivas had to his credit 144 papers which, included 33 broad papers in sociology and anthropology; 18 papers in social change; 28 papers in village studies; 12 papers on religion; 17 papers on caste and 36 papers of general popular interest. The periods 1958-61 and 1974-77, when Srinivas was 38-41 and 58-61 years old. were his most productive periods with highest publication activity
Augmenting forearm crutches with wireless sensors for lower limb rehabilitation
No full textForearm crutches are frequently used in the rehabilitation of an injury to the lower limb. The recovery rate is improved if the patient correctly applies a certain fraction of their body weight (specified by a clinician) through the axis of the crutch, referred to as partial weight bearing (PWB). Incorrect weight bearing has been shown to result in an extended recovery period or even cause further damage to the limb. There is currently no minimally invasive tool for long-term monitoring of a patient's PWB in a home environment. This paper describes the research and development of an instrumented forearm crutch that has been developed to wirelessly and autonomously monitor a patient's weight bearing over the full period of their recovery, including its potential use in a home environment. A pair of standard forearm crutches are augmented with low-cost off-the-shelf wireless sensor nodes and electronic components to provide indicative measurements of the applied weight, crutch tilt and hand position on the grip. Data are wirelessly transmitted between crutches and to a remote computer (where they are processed and visualized in LabVIEW), and the patient receives biofeedback by means of an audible signal when they put too much or too little weight through the crutch. The initial results obtained highlight the capability of the instrumented crutch to support physiotherapists and patients in monitoring usage

Wing length (<i>n</i> =10) 2.5–3.4 mm (avg=3.1). <b>Terminalia</b> (Figs 4, 6, 8, 10): Gonostylus slightly shorter, ca. 2.5X longer than greatest height, considerably less tapered apically and with shorter and sparser setae on medial surface. Basal gonocoxal lobe appearing more protrusive from dorsal gonocoxal margin in lateral view.</p> <p> <b>Female</b>. <b>Wing</b> length (<i>n</i> =8) 2.7–3.7 mm (avg=3.3). Indistinguishable from those of <i>D. falcata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and several other similarly colored, related species.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and bionomics.</b> Attempts by the author to collect material from near the type locality in Illinois (Havana) and paratype locality (environs of Rochester, MN) were unfruitful. Streams in and around Havana, IL, are heavily degraded and inaccessible due to co-opting for agricultural production. New collections of this species broadened its known range to the east to include southern portions of Indiana and Illinois and southwesterly into Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma (Fig. 14). It likely also occurs in the Arkansas Ozarks as well as northern Kentucky. <i>Dixa repanda</i> appears to be multivoltine and likely typically overwinters as eggs, although one female examined taken near Manhattan, Kansas, was observed under a rock in mid-December. Larvae mature as early as March in the southern portion of the range. This species occurs in spring-fed streams (Fig. 13) very similar to those preferred by <i>D. falcata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, and they likely co-inhabit streams somewhere in the Ozark/Quachita region.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Several issues hampered the author’s elucidation of the identity of this species. Firstly, the illustration of the male terminalia in Peters & Cook (1966, fig. 47) in lateral view does not accurately reflect the shape of the gonostylus. Secondly, the slide-mounted terminalia of the male holotype could not be located in the USNM and are presumed lost. Thirdly, the two paratype males could not be located and may also be lost. Lastly, attempts to collect streams in the environs of Havana, Illinois, the type locality, were fruitless as the streams were largely inaccessible and ones that were observed look extremely degraded. It was not until examining a male specimen taken near Manhattan, Kansas, that was identified as <i>D. repanda</i> by T.M. Peters, that the association between my material and the holotype was synched. The absence of any other <i>Dixa</i> species, besides the easily discernable <i>D. fluvica</i> Peters, taken in the study area also reinforces this decision.</p>Published as part of <i>Moulton, John K., 2018, Rediscovery of Dixa repanda Peters and description of its putative sister species, Dixa falcata sp. nov., from the south-central United States (Diptera: Dixidae), pp. 171-178 in Zootaxa 4459 (1)</i> on pages 175-177, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4459.1.8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/1458464">http://zenodo.org/record/1458464</a>
