Evolutionary biology today     

Amitabh Joshi 《Resonance》2002,7(11):8-17

“For a biologist”, wrote Sir Peter Medawar, “the alternative to thinking in evolutionary terms is not to think at all”. Yet, at the end of an education in biology in most Indian universities, this is not quite the view of evolutionary biology that one is left with. Evolution is presented summarily, almost as a footnote, rather than as a vital branch of biology providing the conceptual foundation for our modern views about the living world. In this issue ofResonance, we remember Stephen Jay Gould, who wrote extensively and eloquently about evolution for a general audience. It seems fitting, then, to also briefly discuss why evolutionary biology is important, not only conceptually but also in terms of practical applications. In this first part of a series of articles on modern evolutionary biology, we examine why the idea of evolution is so important in our intellectual history, and also take a look at the domain of evolutionary biology as a discipline. Amitabh Joshi studies and teaches evolutionary genetics and population ecology at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. His current research interests are in life-history, evolution, the evolutionary genetics of biological clocks, the evolution of ecological specialization dynamics. He also enjoys music (especially traditional qawali in Braj, Farsi, Punjabi and Urdu), history, philosophy, and reading and writing poetry in Urdu, Hindi and English.  相似文献   

Female Motivation in the Patriarchal School: an analysis of primary textbooks and school organisation in Nepal,and some strategies for change     

Govinda Prasad Joshi  Jean Anderson 《Gender and education》1994,6(2):169-181

Nepal is currently the focus of much attention in the form of aid and advice from the international community, and policy documents and proposals recognise the importance of education opportunities for girls and women as one of the cornerstones for successful development. Our concern was that in spite of policy intentions few real strategies exist with regard to the implementation of policy. Our research focused on the textbooks and school organisation patterns currently in use in Nepalese primary schools as this focus has not to date been addressed in Nepal. In suggesting short‐ and long‐term strategies as a response to the research findings, we hope that these suggestions may make a small contribution to educational research in Nepal.

Diagnosis and treatment of reading disabilities based on the component model of reading: an alternative to the discrepancy model of LD     

Aaron PG  Joshi RM  Gooden R  Bentum KE 《Journal of learning disabilities》2008,41(1):67-84

Currently, learning disabilities (LD) are diagnosed on the basis of the discrepancy between students' IQ and reading achievement scores. Students diagnosed with LD often receive remedial instruction in resource rooms. The available evidence suggests that the educational policy based on this discrepancy model has not yielded satisfactory results. This has led researchers to try other paradigms, such as the component model and response to intervention, for dealing with children with reading disabilities. The component model of reading (CMR) described in the present article identifies the reading component that is the source of reading difficulty and targets instruction at that component. Study 1 describes the CMR and reports on its validity. Study 2 describes the successful outcome of a 7-year CMR-based reading instruction program. Compared to the discrepancy model, the CMR has demonstrated several advantages.  相似文献   

Antral and duodenal disaccharidases in patients of duodenal ulcer and non-ulcer dyspepsia     

Saroj Kant Sinha  Satya Vati Rana  Deepak Kumar Bhasin  Kusum Joshi 《Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB》2005,20(1):169-172

Duodenal ulcer is a common disease and is considered acid-peptic disease. Duodenal ulcer patients are known to have higher incidence of antral gastritis and duodentitis than general population. Thus one can expect some alteration in the enzyme products of mucosal cells of antrum and duodenum in this condition. The present study was planned in 30 patients of duodenal ulcer and 30 of non-ulcer dyspepsia. After overnight fast, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was done using forward viewing fibreoptic endoscope. Two pairs of biopsies were taken from the antrum and two from the descending duodenum using standard biopsy forceps. One pair of biopsy from each site was taken in 10% formal saline for histopathological examination. One pair of biopsies from each site was collected in saline for the measurement of disaccharidases by Dahlquist method. Activities of lactase, sucrase and maltase were significantly higher in descending duodenum mucosa as compared to antral mucosa in both groups. Activities of these enzymes in antrum and duodenum of both groups did not differ significantly. No significant difference was found in disaccharidases in antrum and descending duodenum in patients with or without histological gastritis. This study suggests that the disaccharidases do not change in antrum and duodenum of ulcer patients as compared to the patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia.  相似文献

technological choice and socio-economic imperative: a case study of textile technologies in India     

Nandini Joshi 《Research Policy》1977,6(3):202-213

Textiles being the only commodity - other than food - in universal and continuous demand, a primary way to provide and sustain employment on a large scale and continuous basis could be an appropriate technology in the textile industry. Hand-spinning - a rural women's industry - can survive only with a large and expanding market, which in turn can be achieved only with more application of scientific research leading to lower costs of production and higher quality of the textiles. More R & D in Khadi (i.e. hand-spun and hand-woven textiles) industry, could go a long way. The application of the modern principle of open-end spinning to the hand-spinning instrument can dramatically raise the output per worker, without substantially increasing the cost of the instrument. An experimental hand-spinning instrument, called Dabba-Kataai instrument, has recently been constructed with the application of the open-end-spinning principle. Comparison of output and employment obtainable, for a uniform amount of outlay over a uniform period, from four different spinning technologies - traditional hand-spinning instrument, Dabba-Kataai instrument, ring-spinning machine and open-end spinning machine - shows that, given the prevalent capital and labour resources and corresponding factor costs in India, Dabba-Kataai is most appropriate both in terms of output and employment. In terms of the social and environmental consideration also this technology is most suitable. Application of scientific and technological research can contribute significantly to reducing costs in Khadi industry and should also be directed towards improving the quality of the output.  相似文献   

On the approximate discrete KLT of fractional Brownian motion and applications     

Anubha Gupta  Shiv Dutt Joshi  Pushpendra Singh 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2018,355(17):8989-9016

This paper establishes connection between discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the discrete-time fractional Brownian motion process (dfBm). It is proved that the eigenvectors of the auto-covariance matrix of a dfBm can be approximated by DCT basis vectors in the asymptotic sense. This shows that DCT basis acts as discrete Karhunen–Loève transform (DKLT) for these processes in the approximate sense. Analytic perturbation theory of linear operators is used to prove this result. This result will be of great practical significance in applications where one is looking for an appropriate basis to work with signals that can perhaps be modeled as belonging to fBm processes. The utility of the proposed work has been illustrated with two real-life data (a) on compressive sampling based reconstruction of financial time-series and (b) in denoising gravitational wave event GW150914 data obtained from a binary black hole merger.  相似文献   

How do legal surprises drive organizational attention and case resolution? An analysis of false patent marking lawsuits     

Amol M. Joshi  Iman Hemmatian 《Research Policy》2018,47(9):1741-1761

Legal surprises are unexpected suits or actions in which plaintiffs rely on claims or precedents that may be obscure, unfamiliar, or unknown to the defendants. Our study explores false patent marking suits, a unique type of patent-related legal surprise involving allegations of defendants marking products with ineligible patent numbers to deceive customers and/or deter competitors. An abrupt shift in U.S. Federal Courts’ interpretation of intellectual property rights (IPRs) policy amplified plaintiff incentives for filing these suits while escalating defendant penalties for proven violations. Handling costly legal surprises such as false patent marking suits requires focused attention from managers. Our core premise is that temporal and evidential cues in the timelines and storylines of plaintiffs’ legal narratives in surprise suits attract defendants’ organizational attention. We hypothesize about temporal focus (past, present, and future) and evidentiary reasoning (relevance, credibility, and inferential power) as attention cues and possible predictors of the mode (litigation or negotiation) and timing of case resolution. We apply automated content analysis to official court records for 992 false patent marking cases (2009–2011) and quantify competing risks using hazard models. We find that differences in temporal focus and evidentiary reasoning in the legal narratives of surprise suits are significant predictors of case resolution mode and timing. We also find that defendants countersuing to redirect plaintiffs’ attention is an effective negotiating tactic. We discuss the economic significance and strategic implications of our empirical findings on legal surprises, attention, case resolution mode and timing, and the unintended consequences of IPR policy changes.  相似文献
