Fastigium vertices scapus wider, apically narrow with obtuse, a fine median sulcus (Fig. 2C), strong pigmentation on the dorsal side of fastigium as well as the entire pronotum (Fig. 2B, D); anterior margin of pronotum flat, posteriorly concave; tegmen surpassing the hind wing, dorsally flat, clear wing venation, cerci of male strongly bent inward behind the sub genital plate (Fig. 2K), apex of cercus strongly acute with short and stout black spine (Fig. 2M and Fig. 1a), subgenital plate strongly bifurcate, incurved (Fig. 2 J and Fig. 1j). Colouration. Yellowish green colour. Female. Unknown. Type Material. Holotype: ♂, Dharmapuri (N 0 12007 ’11.21’’E 077051 ’.01.94’’), Tamilnadu, India. 11 II 2018. Coll. G. Divya and N. Senthilkumar. Deposited in Gass Forest Museum (GFM), Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu (India). Distribution. Dharmapuri, Tamilnadu, India. Etymology. This species is named in honour of Dr D. C. F. Rentz, Australia. Discussion. The new species is completely differs from P. spinosa, P. myllocerca, P. falcata and P. gracilis on the structure of subgenital plate, supra anal plate, pronotum and fastigium vertices. P. rentzi, sp. nov. is entirely differ from the P. spinosa, P. myllocerca and P. falcata by the shape of cerci and subgenital plate. P. gracilis and P. rentzi, sp. nov. are look-alike however, the subgenital plate is entirely different (Fig. 1j, m). The lateral lobe of pronotum deeper than long, without white band; fairly and smoothly rounded not forming angle with disc, sharp emargination at posterior end of insertion. Subgenital plate bilobate at the apex. Distal lobe of subgenital plate not smoothly rounded but pointed. Apex of the cerci abruptly bent inwards. Stridulatory vein large almost as wide as left tegmen; distal end of file as in Fig. 2 E.Published as part of Divya, Govindaraj & Senthilkumar, Natchiappan, 2020, Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Phaneroptera (Tettigoniidae Phaneropterinae) with a new record from Tamilnadu, India, pp. 425-434 in Zootaxa 4860 (3) on page 426, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4860.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/441406

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
Design of mini phantom and measurement of cobalt-60 beam data parameters
No full textLow cost mini phantoms were fabricated indigenously with different water equivalent material such as polymethyl methacrylate and Bee′s wax of different shapes (with dome top surface and flat top surface). The beam parameters of the Co-60 machine, such as head scatter correction factor (S h ), phantom scatter correction factor (S P ), total scatter correction factor (S C,P ), collimator exchange effect were measured. Output ratio measurements were taken for both mini phantom and water phantom for different square and rectangular field sizes. Normalized output ratios were compared with ESTRO published values and (Storchi and Van Gasteren) S and G data. The percentage of variation between the measured and the literature values is about 0.7%. Collimator exchange effect were measured for water and mini phantom for different field size, were compared with ESTRO value. This was found to be 0.5% and 1.0% respectively. Phantom scatter correction factors were calculated for square and rectangular filed sizes; this was compared with ESTRO values, found to be 0.7% for square and 1.0% for rectangular filed size. It was also noted that there were no appreciable variation observed in ion chamber readings of different materials of mini phantoms for dome and flat surfaces. Mini phantom measurements were done for all types of phantoms and the measured values were compared with the existing data and they were in good agreement with the published values
G-Rank: Unsupervised Continuous Learn-to-Rank for Edge Devices in a P2P Network
No full textRanking algorithms in traditional search engines are powered by enormous training data sets that are meticulously engineered and curated by a centralized entity. Decentralized peer-to-peer (p2p) networks such as torrenting applications and Web3 protocols deliberately eschew centralized databases and computational architectures when designing services and features. As such, robust search-and-rank algorithms designed for such domains must be engineered specifically for decentralized networks, and must be lightweight enough to operate on consumer-grade personal devices such as a smartphone or laptop computer. We introduce G-Rank, an unsupervised ranking algorithm designed exclusively for decentralized networks. We demonstrate that accurate, relevant ranking results can be achieved in fully decentralized networks without any centralized data aggregation, feature engineering, or model training. Furthermore, we show that such results are obtainable with minimal data preprocessing and computational overhead, and can still return highly relevant results even when a user’s device is disconnected from the network. G-Rank is highly modular in design, is not limited to categorical data, and can be implemented in a variety of domains with minimal modification. The results herein show that unsupervised ranking models designed for decentralized p2p networks are not only viable, but worthy of further research.https://github.com/awrgold/G-RankComputer Scienc
