Faces and Places in Fashion: Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia
No full textFIT’s Faces and Places in Fashion lectures series presents Babi and Sachin Ahluwalia. The husband-and-wife design team, who met as students at FIT sixteen years ago, spoke about launching their eponymous contemporary womenswear label, Sachin +Babi, and their luxury home furnishings brand, Ankasa. Elizabeth Uss (AMC ’98), Senior Producer and Reporter at Videofashion News, interviewed the Ahluwalias about their trade, their experience and their perspective on the business. Part presentation, part Q&A, the Faces & Places in Fashion lecture series is an opportunity to connect students and the public alike to the pulse of the fashion industry in an open and conversational setting. Faces and Places in Fashion is part of course CL-112. The lecture series is a forum for prominent fashion professionals, including executives, designers and marketers to discuss their trade, their experience and their perspective on the business.

Proctiger membraneous, round and smaller than epan- drium. Epandrium and surstyli distinctly bulb-shaped in posterior view; medial surstylus shorter than lateral surstylus, tapering towards apex with a pair of thick prensisetae. Phallus elongate (3.36 mm) with well developed sclerotised glans (0.8 mm); 0.75 of glans sclerotised with patterned praeputium; subapical lobe and basal lobe present. Attractant: Zingerone Material examined: Holotype, ♂, INDIA: Kerala, Thrissur, KFRI, Peechi, 30.ix.2019, Sachin, K., Paratypes, 2♂♂, India, Kerala, Calicut, Calicut University Campus, 03.x.2019, Sachin, K., 1♂, INDIA: Kerala, Calicut, Janaki- kadu, 03. x.2019, Sachin, K (NBAIR). Etymology: This species is named after the late D. Jacob, in memory of the first author’s father. Remarks: D. jacobi, sp. n., is similar to D. vijayasegarani Drew & Hancock and D. siamensis Drew & Hancock in possessing a broad costal band overlapping vein R 4+5, petiolate abdomen and face with inverted U-shaped marking joined with broad band above oral margin. It can be differentiated from D. vijayasegarani and D. siamensis by the paler reddish brown scutum and abdomen and the broad reddish brown basal band covering basal quarter of the scutellum; it further differs from D. vijayasegarani by its yellow notopleuron, and from D. siamensis by its moderately developed posterior lobe of the lateral surstylus. It differs from the otherwise similar Sri Lankan species D. ancoralis Leblanc & Doorenweerd (Leblanc et al. 2018) in characters noted in the key.Published as part of David, K.

Para- type: 1♀, India: Kerala, Wayanad, Padivayal, 21.vii.2019, Coll. Sachin, K. Etymology: This species named based on the joined (connected) apical bands on the wing. Remarks: This species is very similar to A. quinaria (Coquillett) from China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Sumatra in general appearance, but can be differentiated by the fused apical and subapical wing bands, which are separate in A. quinaria; constriction of aculeus tip before prepical setae, which is broad in A. quinaria; and deeper concavity of sternite V in males, which is shallow/flat in A. quinaria.Published as part of David, K.

Quantitative observations on multiple flow structures inside Ranque Hilsch vortex tube
No full textRanque-Hilsch vortex tube is a device that separates a flow of gas into two streams simultaneously, one hotter than the inlet and one cooler. Traditionally vortex tubes are mostly operated at high entrance pressures (>10 psig) and always used for cooling operations. There are industrial applications that result in unused pressurized gases. Using vortex tube energy separation may be a method to recover waste pressure energy from high and low pressure sources. In various industrial systems, magnitudes of waste pressure may be lower but may have significant mass flow rates. Hence it is important to make sure that vortex tube provides the required energy separation while harnessing the low pressure but high mass flow rate waste energy and utilizes it for not only cooling but also for heating purposes.
Our recent experimental observations show that in the low inlet pressure regime (<10 psig); vortex tubes behave differently and produce multiple flow structures rather than expected re-circulating cold stream and the columnar hot stream type of flow (simply "Vortex Tube flow" or VT-flow).
This thesis characterizes industrial waste pressure as a reclaimable form of energy, analyzes the effectiveness of 'vortex tube energy separation' in recovering waste energy from low pressure sources, and explores experimentally and theoretically the possibility of multiple flow structures (like Reverse, Elbow, T-flow or VT-flow) inside vortex tube in a low inlet pressure regime.
First time, a study of flow modes in low pressure vortex tubes with small cold fractions has been presented which yielded quantitative confirmation of simple one dimensional model for these flows allowing both predictive capabilities and guidance in design.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 111-115)by Sachin Uttamrao Nimbalka
Librarian’s Attitude Towards Information Communication Technology in Colleges Affiliated to Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University: A Study
No full textNow a day’s libraries have deployed the ICT facilities, along with high speed internet connectivity,photo- copiers, and soft copy drop facilities via USB drives, DVD R-W, micro SD drives, fax,scanners and computers. When all such facilities are backed by Government aids, the support of a
trained librarian having good orientation and attitude is very important. The organizational and infrastructural facilities and the service of library professionals are to go hand in hand to fully utilize ICT. The research findings reveal that lack of awareness and psychological barriers against advance technologies are the hurdles in providing ICT based LIS services
