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).

Author 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

Portfolio diversification for long holding periods: how many stocks do Canadian investors need?
No full textThe number of stocks required to achieve diversification has been under
discussion for over four decades. Traditionally, it is viewed that between 8 to 20 stocks
are adequate for a 'well' diversified portfolio based on American studies, and 30 to 50
stocks based on a Canadian study. The majority of the past literature has used American
data with a focus on the short-term investment horizon. Cleary and Copp's (1999) paper
is the only study that utilized Canadian data with an emphasis on the short-term
investment horizon.
To fill this void, this thesis examines the cumulative rates of return over a 20-year
investment horizon by randomly investing 57,929) of the 100-stock
portfolio when investing randomly in Canadian companies.
Note:Pages 35, 36, 39, and 40 contain numbers that have been cut off in the original thesis. This problem is not attributed to digitization of the document

No full textNot AvailableA field experiment was conducted at Research farm of Central Soil and Water
Conservation Research and Training Institute, Research Centre, Bellary,
Karnataka State, India to know the effect of integrated nutrient management in
winter sorghumchickpea cropping sequence on rainwater conservation, nutrient
availability and crop productivity in deep black soils during winter seasons of
2005-06 and 2006-07. In sorghum block, treatment with 15 kg N throughLeucaena loppings
and 20 kg N through urea(T8 ) recorded significantly higher
sorghum grain yield by 64% during 2005-06 (2200 kg ha-1) and in the pooled data
(1486 kg ha-1) over control. Greater grain yield in T8 was attributed to higher dry
matter accumulation in head with greater head weight, grain weight per plant,
1000grain weight and higher soil moisture and nutrient availability. During 2006-07, application of N through organic amendments alone conserved the lower
annual and crop season rainfall thus producing 67% higher sorghum yields i.e.,
792 kg ha-1 with application of 15 kg N through farmyard manure + 10 kg N
through Leucaena loppings(T9 ) over control. Application 15 kg N throughLeucaena loppings
and 20 kg N throughurea (T8 ) produced significantly higher
water use efficiency (WUE) of 8.14 kg ha-1 mm-1 and lower WUE of 5.22 kg ha-1
mm-1 in control. In chickpea block also, significantly higher grain yield of 1035 kg
ha-1 and 1001 kg ha-1 was observed in T8 treatment and application of 15 kg N
throughLeucaena loppings and 10 kgNthroughurea (T7 ) and were higher by 87%
and 81%, respectively over grain yield of 554 kg ha-1 produced in control. Higher
nutrient availability in T8 and T7 produced more pods per plant with greater dry
matter accumulation in pods thus resulting in higher grain and straw yields. Even
significantly higherWUEof 6.16 and 6.00 kg ha-1 mm-1 was observed in T8 and T7
respectively over lower WUE of 3.69 kg ha-1 mm-1 observed in control plots in
chickpea block. In sorghum and chickpea strip cropping block also, higher
sorghum grain equivalent (SGE) of 1757 kg ha-1 was observed in T8 treatment and it
was higher by nearly 45% over lower SGE of 1211 kg ha-1 produced in control.
Higher SGE in T treatment was attributed to production of higher grain and straw
yields of sorghum and chickpea in strips with greater soil moisture and nutrient
availability. It can be concluded that application 15 kg N throughLeucaena loppings
and 20 kg N through urea(T8) resulted in greater soil moisture
conservation with higher nutrient availability thus producing significantly higher
sorghum and chickpea yields during winter season in deep black soils of Bellary.Not Availabl
