Entomopathogenic Fungi for the Management of Calopepla leayana on Gmelina arborea
No full textEntomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae were isolated and identified as natural pathogens of Calopepla leayana. Both the species of fungi were effective against the larval and adult stages of C. leayana causing white and green muscardine diseases respectively. It was also found that B. bassiana was more pathogenic to the pest as compared to M. anisopliae. The susceptibility of larvae and adults was negatively associated with the age and positively associated with the fungal spore concentration. In all the stages from I instar to adult, the highest mortality was observed in 10% of 1x109 spores/ml concentration of B. bassiana among 1, 2.5, 5 & 10% of 1x109 spores/ml concentration. It was also reflected in probit analysis that the concentration of spores required to kill fifty percent of the population was ranges from 0.09% to 5.98% of 1x109 spores/ml concentration of B. bassiana and 1.02% to 9.72% of 1x109 spores/ml concentration of M. anisopliae. The larvae of I instar have shown highest mortality, which gradually decreased with the increase in age or decrease in the concentration of fungal spores. Mass production of B. bassiana using different substrates was attempted to harvest ample amount of spores. This study revealed that spore production was directly proportional to the mycelial weight and incubation period. From the seven substrates tested, wheat flour was identified as one of the suitable substrates for the mass production of B. bassiana. A field trial was conducted to test their efficacy under field conditions. 72-93% mortality was observed in field conditions.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Division of Bioprospecting, Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore-641002, Tamilnadu, India*Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] This Article As: N.

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Mono and trivalent thallium-sulfur interactions and their influence on the formation of nano thallium sulphide: Single crystal X-ray structural and spectral studies on thallium(I)/(III)-cyclohexylpiperazine dithiocarbamates
No full textThallium(i) and thallium(iii)-cyclohexylpiperazine dithiocarbamates have been prepared with the same donor environment for the first time and analyzed by electronic, IR, 1H, 13C NMR spectral, CV and single crystal X-ray structural analyses. Solvothermal decomposition of the dithiocarbamates yielded nano Tl4S3 and were characterized. Bond parameters from single crystal X-ray structures have been used in continuous symmetry measure and bond valence sum analysis of the compounds to establish the octahedral geometry and formal oxidation numbers of thallium. [Tl(chpzdtc)]2 (1) shows extensive non covalent interactions and the hemidirected TlS2CSTl core is of distorted square pyramidal geometry with the stereo chemically active lone pair of thallium(I) occupying a vertex of the square pyramid. This is the first report which identifies the 4f7/2 and 4f5/2 electron binding energies of Tl(i) and Tl(III) dithiocarbamates unambiguously and the effect of Tl⋯action on XPS binding energies. [Tl(chpzdtc)3] (2), the trivalent analogue as a contrast is a typical holodirected TlS6 distorted octahedral core with no significant supramolecular interactions. Mean Tl-S bond distances in 1 and 2 are 2.985(7) and 2.6789(19) Å, respectively, which clearly support the higher ease of solvothermal decomposition of 1 to nano Tl4S3 than 2. A strong correlation exists between the bond strengths of Tl-S, the thioureide C-N and the ease of formation of Tl4S3 from the two dithiocarbamates 1 and 2
Continuous Shape Measure of electronic effect free steric distortions in tris(dithiocarbamato)indium(III): Synthesis, spectral, electrochemical, single crystal X-ray structural investigations and BVS calculations on tris(dithiocarbamato)indium(III) complexes
No full textGeometrical distortions from an ideal octahedral geometry (iOh) towards an ideal trigonal prism (itp) in
tris(dithiocarbamato)indium(III) complexes have been quantified by Continuous Shape Measure (CShM)
analysis. Three tris(disubstituted dithiocarbamato)indium(III) complexes, cyclohexylmethyldithiocarbamate
(chmdtc) (1), cyclohexylethyldithiocarbamate (chedtc) (2) and dicyclohexyldithiocarbamate (dchdtc) (3),
have been prepared and characterized by spectral, cyclic voltammetric and single crystal X-ray structural
techniques. The electronic effects are at a minimum for trivalent indium and the distortions follow the
order: (3) > (1) > (2), as per the CShM values. The IR spectra indicate a contribution of the thioureide form
of the dithiocarbamates to the stabilization of the compounds, with a characteristic C–N stretch in
the range 1446–1475 cm?1.1H NMR spectra indicate that the protons in the vicinity of the thioureide
nitrogen are the most affected on complexation.13C NMR spectra showed the characteristic thioureide
carbon signals at 201.18, 200.98 and 200.94 ppm for complexes (1), (2) and (3) respectively. Cyclic
voltammetric investigations revealed three single electron additions to the trivalent indium. The single
crystal X-ray structures showed little change in the In–S and thioureide C–N bond distances or the
S–In–S bite angles with changes in the steric demands, in the absence of any significant electronic effects.
Bond Valence Sums (BVS) of the complexes identified the formal oxidation of indium to be +3 and the
observed deviations show the increased covalent bonding. Nano indium sulfides have been prepared
from the dithiocarbamates through a non-conventional solvothermal process. The nanosulfides have
been characterized by SEM and EDX techniques. The ease and yield of formation follow the order:
(3) > (1) > (2)
