No full textThe present communication deals with a new species of the genus Indicovalipora Shinde and Deshmukh 1985 collected from Varanus indicus at Pathiri, Dist. Parbhani, M.S. India. It differ from all the known species of genus with characters, scolex oval, mature segment longer than broad, testes ! 16 in number, cirrus pouch medium, cirrus coiled, vagina wide, anterior to the cirrus pouch, ovary distinctly bilobed, Ootype is oval, genital pore Small, Vitellaria follicular, rounded,eggs Oval
Systematic Observation Of New Piscean Ptychobothriidaean Tapeworm From Mastacembelus Armatus At Marathwada Region (M.S.) India
Get PDFPresent study deals with Biosystematics of Piscean Ptychobothriidaean tapeworm Circumoncobothrium chavani Sp. Nov. collected from intestine of freshwater catfish host Mastacembelus armatus. (Lacepede, 1800) from different places of Marathwada Region (M.S.) India. The worm comes closer to all known species of the genus Circumoncobothrium (Shinde, 1968) in general topography of organ but differs due to having length of worm, scolex triangular, rostellum disc like, Mature segments broader than long, number and shape of testes, Ovary is bilobed
On using Directional Information for Parameter Space Decomposition in Ellipse Detection
No full textIn this paper we use the parametric polar representation to extend the application of edge directional information from circle to ellipse extraction. As a result we obtain a mapping which decomposes the parameter space required for ellipse extraction into two independent sub-spaces and one final histogram accumulator. The mapping includes the tangent of the angle of the first and second directional derivatives. These tangents are computed by considering edge direction at two border points. We show that the use of gradient information for parameter space decomposition avoids the intensive point labelling imposed by geometric constraints used by other approaches

Large-scale patterns in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in very large aspect ratio cells
No full textLarge-scale patterns, which are well-known from the spiral defect chaos regime of thermal convection at Rayleigh numbers Ra 105. They are uncovered when the turbulent fields are averaged in time and turbulent fluctuations are thus removed. We apply the Boussinesq closure to calculate turbulent viscosities and diffusivities, respectively. The resulting turbulent Rayleigh number Ra_, that describes the convection of the mean patterns, is indeed in the spiral defect chaos range. Interestingly, the turbulent Prandtl numbers are smaller than one with 0:2 _ Pr_ _ 0:4 for Prandtl numbers 0:7 _ Pr _ 10. Finally, we demonstrate that these mean flow patterns are robust to an additional finite-amplitude side wall-forcing when the level of turbulent fluctuations in the flow is sufficiently high

Get PDFThe present form deals with description of new species of the genus Pedibothrium stegostomae n.sp. differs from P. longispine Linton, 1909; P. brevispine Linton, 1909; P. hutsoni Southwell, 1924; P. lintoni Shinde et.al, 1980; P. vervalensis Shinde et.al. 1980, in the size of worm, shape of scolex, presence or absence of hooks, shape of hooks, number of segments, number of testes, shape of ovary, shape and position of vitellaria. As in P. lintoni and P. varvalensis 4 accessory suckers present but absent in remaining known species
Reynolds number effect on 3D turbulent offset jet reattaching to a free surface
No full textExperimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of Reynolds number on 3D offset jet reattaching to above free surface. Sharp edged square nozzle was used to produce the jets, and the measurements were performed at the following six different Reynolds numbers: 2300, 3700, 5100, 7900, 10300 and 11900. Detailed velocity measurements were made in the symmetry plane. From the PIV data, the mean velocity and turbulence statistics were obtained to study the effects of Reynolds number on the salient features of the jet flow. Preliminary results on streamwise mean velocity decay along the nozzle centerline, contours of streamwise mean velocity and Reynolds shear stress are presented herein
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
Get PDFAlphabetic 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
<i>Entrenchment, wealth, power, and the constitution of democratic societies</i> by Paul Starr
No full textEntrenchment, Wealth, Power, and the Constitution of Democratic Societies, by Paul Starr, New Haven, CT: Yale University Press. 2019. 280 pages, hardcover.Why should we, as Management scholars and educators, care about a book on political diagnosis? The answer is twofold. First, the calibre of the author (Paul Starr), an awardee of both Bancroft and Pulitzer Prizes, a former policy advisor to the Clinton administration, and the author of The Transformation of American Medicine (1982), a book with a profound impact on American policy circles. Second, the core concept (entrenchment) of the book, and its potential to advance the process of institutional development, and the ways in which we can reform and change our institutions to better meet the current and pressing needs of the many, rather than preserve the unequal privileges of a few. In light of the geopolitical, social, and environmental pressures we see currently rising across the world (George, Howard-Grenville, Joshi & Tihanyi, 2016; Howard-Grenville, Buckle, Hoskins & George, 2014) there is no better time to examine whether and how we can address some of these grand challenges by reforming and improving our institutions
