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
Correlation of body mass index, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio to fasting blood sugar levels in non-diabetics: an observational study
No full textBackground: Obesity is a serious health problem across the world. Obesity is an independent risk factor for diabetes and cardiac problems. Waist-hip ratio and waist circumference are better predictors of obesity and associated medical risks. The aims and objectives of study are to evaluate overweight and obesity in non-diabetics and assess correlation of BMI, WC and WHR with fasting blood sugar (FBS).Methods: A prospective study was carried out at D.Y. Patil Hospital Nerul, Navi Mumbai between November 2014- December 2014. Subjects attending the medical outpatient department (OPD) were invited to participate in this study. 200 subjects were screened, of whom 100 subjects having fasting sugar levels less than 110 mg/dL were enrolled. The subjects were matched with respect to age, BMI, waist circumference and Hip circumference and W: H ratio. BMI, WC and W:H ratio was correlated with FBS using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was considered at P value<0.05.Results: It indicated 19.6% males (10/51) and 14.28% females (7/49) were overweight and 47.05% males (24/51) and 42.85% females (21/49) were obese according to BMI. 13.72% males (7/51) and 20.40% females (10/49) were overweight and 66.66% males (34/51) and 38.77% females (19/49) were obese according to WC. 5.88% males (3/51) and 4.08% females (2/49) were overweight and 94.11% males (48/51) and 91.83% females (45/49) were obese according to WHR.Conclusions: It can be concluded from this study that there is a positive correlation between BMI, Waist circumference, Waist: Hip Ratio and are important indicators of obesity to predict obesity
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).

The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey
No full textMSA is here told in Amharic. Our 79th language! The story is told in typical fashion, though the ending is surprising. There is no death of the donkey, nor is there a decision by the man. The last word goes to passersby who comment "You fools! Do you carry donkeys?" The moral is, in Google translate, "If you try to please everyone, you can please no one." Strong simple illustrations have the two walking through desert to Gebiya. 46 pages. 6" x 9".This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: AmharicNo Autho
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

Role of Hemagarbha Pottali Rasayana Lehana in post COVID-19 lung fibrosis: A case study
No full textThe COVID –19 infection mainly presents with respiratory symptoms including a flu like illness with fever cough and asthenia. SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe lung injury. In the high risk population like the elderly or those with multiple co-morbidities. The virus has a higher prevalence of interstitial pneumonia, ARDS and multi organ failure. SARS-CoV-2 uses Angiotensin 2 converting enzyme (ACE2) as a cell receptor in humans, causing interstitial lung damage followed by parenchymal lesions. We report a patient who developed dyspnea, cough, and fever, secondary to pulmonary fibrosis after successful treatment of COVID - 19.
Since 6 months patient was taking treatment for post COVID fibrosis (ILD – UIP pattern) with traction bronchiectasis with severe PAH, Addition of Hemagarbha pottali Rasayana showed promising results as it acts on Pranvaha strotas. It helped to reduce the symptoms of patients like breathlessness, cough, fever and also improved O2 saturation and need of O2 supply.
