India and the Indo-Pacific an emerging regional vision
No full textThis report looks at India and the continuing change in political and trade influences in the Indo-Pacific region and the possible effects it will have on existing political powers such as the United States of America and Australia.
The rapid expansion of trade, investment and production linkages in the area spanning the Indian and Pacific Oceans and the shift of economic power from the Trans-Atlantic to Asia has given rise to a push by commentators to have the ‘IndoPacific’ region recognised as a single geo-strategic arc. Yet, the concept remains politically contested and there has been insufficient attention paid to the geopolitical and geoeconomic drivers behind its emergence in particular national contexts. Among the most prominent promoters of the ‘Indo-Pacific’ have been commentators and state actors in the United States, Australia and India.
This policy brief analyses the debate on the Indo-Pacific in India, in particular, and suggests that the adoption of the Indo-Pacific terminology by Indian officials is a reflection of the dominance of domestic economic imperatives in the making of contemporary Indian foreign policy. This is at variance with the driving motivation behind the promotion of the term by officials in the United States and Australia and suggests that the common adoption of the Indo-Pacific concept does not mean a convergence in foreign policy priorities

EFECTO DE LA ARCILLA CHACKO EN LA ALIMENTACIÓN SOBRE EL RENDIMIENTO PRODUCTIVO DE POLLOS DE CARNE EN CONDICIONES SEMITROPICALES
No full textObjetivos: Determinar el efecto de la arcilla chacko en la alimentación sobre el rendimiento productivo de pollos de carne de línea comercial en condiciones semitropicales hasta los 42 días de edad. Material y métodos: El experimento se realizó en el galpones de aves de Granjas el Dorado y el Instituto de Educación Superior Tecnológico Público “San Juan de Oro”, Distrito de San Juan de Oro, Provincia de Sandia, Departamento de Puno, a 1300 m. s. n. m. Se utilizó 2000 pollos de carne mixto de la línea Cobb, los mismos que fueron distribuidos en 4 Tratamientos completamente al azar, donde todos los animales consumieron unadieta de inicio común de 0 –14 días que contenía; 22% de proteína y 3. 00 cal/kg de EM, mientras que en el periodo de crecimiento comprendido desde los 15 - 28 días consumieron dietas de 21% de proteína y 3. 1 Mcal/kg de EM y La dieta de acabado de 29 – 42 días fue común para todos los animales con 20% de proteína y 3. 20 Mcal/kg de EM. La diferencia en la dieta estuvo solo en la suplementación de arcilla chacko de 0. 5, 1 y 2%. Los parámetros productivos (peso vivo, consumo de alimento, conversión alimenticia y mortalidad) fuerondeterminados a los 0 – 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 y 42 días y con estos resultados se determinó el factor de eficiencia de producción (FEP). Resultados: La importancia del trabajo de investigación fue demostrar los efectos de la arcilla chacko, para que sirva de aporte para mejorar los rendimientos productivos en la crianza de pollos de carne donde los parámetros productivos fueron afectados positivamente con el contenido de chacko al 1% y 0. 5% en las dietas respectivamente, los parámetros productivos como el consumo de alimento, la ganancia de peso vivo, y la conversión alimenticia fueron afectados significativamente con el contenido de chacko al 1% y 0, 5% en las dietas, los parámetros productivos como la mortalidad fueron afectados positivamente con el incremento del contenido de chacko en las dietas. Conclusiones: A mayor cantidad de Chacko, es menor la cantidad de mortalidad de los pollos y finalmente el factor de eficiencia de la producción es mejor al utilizar arcilla chacko desde 0, 5 al 1% en las raciones sin producir efectos negativos en el rendimiento productivo de pollos de carne

Slow Coarsening in Jammed Athermal Soft Particle Suspensions
No full textWe simulate a densely jammed, athermal assembly of repulsive soft particles immersed in a solvent. Starting from an initial condition corresponding to a quench from a high temperature, we find nontrivial slow dynamics driven by a gradual release of stored elastic energy, with the root mean squared particle speed decaying as a power law in time with a fractional exponent. This decay is accompanied by the presence within the assembly of spatially localized and temporally intermittent “hot spots” of nonaffine deformation, connected by long-ranged swirls in the velocity field, reminiscent of the local plastic events and long-ranged elastic propagation that have been intensively studied in sheared amorphous materials. The pattern of hot spots progressively coarsens, with the hot-spot size and separation slowly growing over time, and the associated correlation length in particle speed increasing as a sublinear power law. Each individual spot, however, exists only transiently within an overall picture of strongly intermittent dynamics
The Modi lahar (wave) in the 2014 Indian national election: a critical realignment?
No full textIn India ’ s 2014 general election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured an outright majority of seats, the fi rst time any party has done so since 1984. This has led to claims that this is a ‘ critical ’ or ‘ realigning ’ election. Yet, most Indian elections are initially described as ‘ critical ’ elections, which suggests that this concept needs to be further re fi ned to be analytically useful in India ’ s electorally volatile and regionalised political context. This commentary conceptualises critical elections in India as those that enable the winning party to build lasting regional social coalitions. Such coalitions need to be consolidated in subsequent elections for a
realignment to take place. A mastery of regional politics was crucial to the BJP ’ s 2014 win, which does mark this as a potentially realigning election. Yet, questions remain about its ability to consolidate the coalitions that delivered this result.Priya Chacko and Peter Maye
Diversity or meeting the bottom line? The internationalization of higher education
No full textThis study examined the internationalization of higher education via internationalization at home (IaH) efforts at Central University (CU) using semi-structured interviews with professionals in the Division of Student Affairs and International Student Affairs, and an analysis of illustrative policies and memoranda the past three decades. For the former, I examined the ways in which internationalization at home practices are operationalized at CU as an aspect of comprehensive internationalization. I compared the ways in which the various departments and offices implement campus internationalization (IaH) and connect them to a frameworks for internationalization. Regarding documents, I conducted an in-depth analysis of policies both at the federal level of the United States and at the local level at Central University. The semi-structured interviews explore the definition of internationalization, and the ways in which internationalization is operationalized in both departments. The interview findings were categorized into the following four categories: 1) the evolved understanding of comprehensive internationalization and IaH; 2) the operationalization of comprehensive internationalization through IaH; 3) Internationalization & Economics of Higher Education; and 4) the future of internationalization. These findings along with the document and policy analysis in dialogue with current literature provide a platform for educators around the globe to examine internationalization at their own institutions and as a springboard to navigate the current trends in higher education internationalization moving forward.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-12-01The student, Jacob Chacko, accepted the attached license on 2019-11-22 at 12:58.The student, Jacob Chacko, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-11-22 at 13:01.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-11-25 at 14:06.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14563 on 2020-02-28 at 17:36:26Made available in DSpace on 2020-03-02T22:38:44Z (GMT).

Automatic Big Data Provenance Capture at Middleware Level in Advanced Big Data Frameworks
No full textHuge amounts of data are being generated by IoT devices, and are termed as ‘Big Data’. Big Data needs to be reliably stored and analyzed. Capturing provenance of such data provides a mechanism to explain the result of data analyt-ics, and provides greater trustworthiness to the insights gathered from data analyt-ics. Capturing the provenance of the data stored in NoSQL databases can help to understand how the data reached its current state. A holistic explanation of the re-sults of data analytics can be achieved through the combination of provenance in-formation of the data with results of analytics. This chapter explores the challenges of automatic provenance capture at the middleware level in three different contexts – in an analytics framework like MapReduce, NoSQL data stores analyzed using the MapReduce framework and in NoSQL stores with SQL front ends. The chapter also portrays how the provenance captured in the MapReduce framework is useful for improving the future executions of job re-runs and anomaly detection, apart from its use in debugging
