Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

Pixel-Based Long-Term (2001–2020) Estimations of Forest Fire Emissions over the Himalaya
No full textForest/wildfires have been one of the most notable severe catastrophes in recent decades across the globe, and their intensity is expected to rise with global warming. Forest fire contributes significantly to particulate and gaseous pollution in the atmosphere. This study has estimated the pixel-based emissions (CO, CO2, CH4, NOx, SO2, NH3, PM2.5, PM10, OC, and BC) from forest fires over the Himalaya (including India, Nepal, and Bhutan). The MODIS-based burned area (MCD64A1), Land Use Land Cover (LULC; MCD12A1), NDVI (MOD13A2), percentage tree cover (MOD44A6), gridded biomass, and species-wise emissions factors were used to estimate the monthly emissions from forest fires over the last two decades (2001–2020). A bottom-up approach was adopted to retrieve the emissions. A substantial inter-annual variation of forest burn area was found over the western, central (Nepal), and eastern Himalaya (including Bhutan). The eastern Himalaya exhibited the highest average annual CO2 emission, i.e., 20.37 Tg, followed by Nepal, 15.52 Tg, and the western Himalaya, 4.92 Tg. Spatially, the higher CO2 (0.01–0.02 Tg year−1/km2) and CO (0.007–0.002 Tg year−1/km2) emissions were detected along the south-eastern parts of the eastern Himalaya, southern regions of Nepal, and south-eastern parts of the western Himalaya. The trend of forest fire emissions in 2001–2010 was significantly positive, while in the next decade (2011–2020) a negative trend was recorded. The estimated pixel-based emission and Global Fire Emission Dataset (GFEDv4.1s) data demonstrated a promising association with a correlation coefficient (r) between 0.80 and 0.93. An inventory of forest fire emissions over long-term periods can be helpful for policymakers. In addition, it helps to set guidelines for air quality and atmospheric transport modelling and to better understand atmospheric pollution over the Himalayan and associated regions

H. J. Bhabha : a case study of synchronous references
No full textQuantitative analysis of the events of synchronous references in the research papers followed throughout the publishing career of an individual scientist revealed interesting highlights on the knowledge-generating-system. In the case study of Homi Jehangir Bhabha first quinquennium and fifth quinquennium of his research career had low Self-references; third quinquennium and fourth quinquennium had moderate Self-references; whereas second quinquennium had highest Self-references. The two major clusters of Self-references occurring during the second and third quinquennium were indicators of active periods of knowledgegenerating and faster communications.(Revised version published in 2006 in International Journal of Nuclear Knowledge Management,Vol.2.

Nerice (Nerice) mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister 2020, sp. nov.
No full textNerice (Nerice) mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister sp. nov. [Fig. 2 (A–B)] Holotype: 1 ♂, India, Arunachal Pradesh, Dibang Valley dist., Dihang-Dibang BR, Anini, Amika, 3070 m, 28.7641°N; 95.9611°E, 05. vi. 2018, leg. S. Gayen & Team. Type deposited in the National Zoological Collection (NZC) of ZSI, Kolkata [NZC Regn. No. 6285/H10]. Etymology: The Eastern Himalayan landscape of Dibang Valley and the indigenous communities inhabiting there are both referred as Mishmi, after which the new species is named. Description: Head: frons and head covered with dark chocolate brown hairs all over; antennae pectinate until the tip, with branches brown and the shaft dark brown; palpi porrect, covered with dark chocolate brown hairs. Wings: Forewing length (measured from base to apex of the right forewing) ♂ 21 mm. Forewing broad, apical area slightly extended, outer margin lightly sinuous, fuscous reddish-brown coloured; its lower part, up to vein M 2 suffused with many silvery grey scales and therefore appears light reddish-brown; from base towards costa a dark brown patch originates, darker near base and lighter as it gradually becomes broader while approaching outer margin; at the median area a small tooth-shaped quadrate protrusion arises running downwards and terminating much before inner margin, outer margin of this protrusion with a minute tooth on vein Cu 2, portion of the vein beyond the tooth blackish; median nervure M 3 darkly coloured from outer margin to the end of the quadrate protrusion; at postmarginal area a small prominent triangular dark chocolate brown speck arises from costa which ends in few dark brown dots on veins R 2 to R 4; costa towards apical area slightly suffused with grey beyond the triangular speck; all veins black beyond postmedial area; underside chocolate brown with grey scales at its origin, costal margin towards apex marked with few white minute streaks; cilia reddish brown, with white tips from R 5 to tornal angle. Hindwing brown with slightly darker postmedial line and chocolate brown cilia; underside same. Abdomen: Dark reddish-brown in colour. Male Genitalia: Uncus robust, club-shaped with circular apical part, central part of the uncus tip bears a small triangular projection; soccii slender, straight, not reaching the tip of uncus; valva moderately broad with rounded apex and with a triangularly pointed, flap-like saccular projection; juxta disc-shaped; saccus reduced; phallus long and straight, phallus tip bifurcate, each process further bifurcated, like tree branching; 8 th sternite bilobed, forming a deep V-like furrow; 8 th tergite less modified of a squarish shape with specific sclerotizations, similar as in N. upina Alphéraky, 1892 or N. aemulator Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001. The female unknown. Diagnosis: Externally N. mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister sp. nov. resembles N. upina and N. aemulator although our specimen is much darker with few marked differences [Fig. 2 (C–F)]. The dark brown costal spot before the apex is bigger and prominent and the medial quadrate patch is much extended downwards to the inner margin. The male genitalia differs in having broad rounded uncus, which is pointed in N. aemulator and N. upina. The soccii are much slender and longer which is short in N. upina and broad and roundish in N. aemulator. The unique tree-like branching at the tip of the long phallus is the most outstanding diagnostic feature of N. mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister sp. nov. Also the bilobed 8 th sternite of the new species differs in having a deep V-shaped furrow unlike that of the other two species [Fig. 3 (A–I)]. Habitat: Nerice (Nerice) mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister sp. nov. is currently reported from the lush green mountainous landscape of Mishmi Hills, Dihang-Dibang Biosphere Reserve. The entire landscape, lying between 500 m and 6000 m, is blessed with high rainfall ranging from 2000 mm to 5000 mm spanning over 8–9 months rendering to its rich flora with tropical wet evergreen, subtropical, temperate and alpine forests and high humidity which rises up to 90%. The temperature ranges from -8 ºC to 30 ºC, heavy snowfall can be witnessed during winter in high altitude areas above 2000 m, whereas, snow persists throughout the year above 5000 m altitude (Mize et al. 2014). The type locality, Amika in Mishmi Hills is situated at an altitude of about 3000 m and the dominant vegetation type here is the East Himalayan Mixed Coniferous forest (12/C3a) with intermittent Bamboo brakes (1B/2S) (Champion & Seth 1968) [Fig. 4 (A–B)]. The new species was collected in June when the average temperature and humidity range between 18 °C–22 °C and 80–90% respectively with heavy rainfall. Note: Till date, from India, only one species, Nerice (Pseudonerice) pictibasis (Hampson, 1897) was known under this genus [Fig. 3 (J–L)]. Nerice (Nerice) mishmiensis Mazumder, Raha, Chandra & Schintlmeister sp. nov. is the second species under this genus and first under the subgenus Nerice from India.Published as part of Mazumder, Arna, Raha, Angshuman, Sanyal, Abesh Kumar, Gayen, Subrata, Mallick, Kaushik, Bandyopadhyay, Uttaran, Chandra, Kailash & Schintlmeister, Alexander, 2020, A new species of Nerice Walker, 1855 and further additions to the catalogue of Indian Notodontidae Stephens, 1829 (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) from Himalaya with report of range extensions, pp. 119-140 in Zootaxa 4748 (1) on pages 121-124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4748.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/369763
