description: Goods and service is exceptionally exhaustive tax structure when executed at the national level. It is one of the noteworthy strides towards the development of the country. It is one of the biggest tax upheavals which is good to go to coordinate the state and national economy to help the overall growth of the country. By and by companies and businesses pay multiple taxes which increment the cost of product and additionally hamper the profit level of the company. Multiple tax and complex taxation system is one of the greatest obstacles for economic growth of the country once the GSTsystem is connected there would be single tax system which would record a critical development in complete indirect taxation change. Under the GSTsystem there would be just on rate applicable for both goods and services. GST will make a business well-disposed condition, as prices will fall and it would likewise control the inflation rates. Be that as it may, the possibility of GST in India was mooted by Vajpayee government in 2000 and the protected correction for the same was passed by the Lokshabha on sixth May 2015. The investigation means to show the definite Influence of GSTimplementation in Indian economic system.

description: The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) is the world's largest database of fully evaluated and published crystal structure data, mostly obtained from experimental results. However, the purely experimental approach is no longer the only route to discover new compounds and structures. In the past few decades, numerous computational methods for simulating and predicting structures of inorganic solids have emerged, creating large numbers of theoretical crystal data. In order to take account of these new developments the scope of the ICSD was extended in 2017 to include theoretical structures which are published in peer-reviewed journals. Each theoretical structure has been carefully evaluated, and the resulting CIF has been extended and standardized. Furthermore, a first classification of theoretical data in the ICSD is presented, including additional categories used for comparison of experimental and theoretical information.

description: This bibliometric study aims at providing a comprehensive analysis of the history of density functional theory (DFT) from a perspective of chemistry by using reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS). 114,138 publications with their 4,412,152 non-distinct cited references are analyzed. The RPYS analysis revealed three different groups of seminal papers which researchers in DFT have drawn from: (i) some long-known experimental studies from the 19th century about physical and chemical phenomena were referenced rather frequently in contemporary DFT publications. (ii) Fundamental quantum-chemical papers from the time period 1900–1950 which predate DFT form another group of seminal papers. (iii) Finally, various very frequently employed DFT approximations, basis sets, and other techniques (e.g., implicit descriptions of solvents) constitute another group of seminal papers. The earliest cited reference we found was published in 1806. The references to papers published in the 19th century mainly served the purpose of referring to long-known physical and chemical phenomena which were used to test if DFT approximations deliver correct results (e.g., Van der Waals interactions). The foundational papers of DFT by Hohenberg and Kohn as well as Kohn and Sham do not seem to be affected by obliteration by incorporation as they appear as pronounced peaks in our RPYS analysis. Since the 1990s, only very few pronounced peaks occur as most years were referenced nearly equally often. Exceptions are 1993 and 1996 due to seminal papers by Axel Becke, John P. Perdew and co-workers, and Georg Kresse and co-workers.

description: Indian Economy is the world's 06 th largest economy (2021 Nominal GDP) and 03 rd largest by purchasing power parity (2021 PPP). Salaried workers are a consistent group of tax paying citizens that give roughly 12% of overall revenue to a government through income tax. Due to which tax planning has assumed special importance for salaried individuals. All taxpayers in India have a variety of tax saving choices. These choices provide a variety of exclusions and deductions that help to reduce the total tax burden. Deductions are provided from Sections 80C through 80U, and qualifying taxpayers can claim them. Hence it is essential for the individual tax payer to know all their possible tax regulations and for tax compliance. It is totally legal and, in fact, a wise option when tax planning is done within the boundaries set by the relevant authorities. However the salaried individuals are not able to plan their taxes which results in opting for the wrong investment options. The objective of the study is to determine the level of awareness among the salaried individual on several tax planning methods offered on professional tax under the income tax act and to identify the factors influencing the tax planning behaviour of the salaried individuals..

description: Demonetization for us implies that Reserve Bank of India has pulled back the old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notesas an official method of payment. Demonetization is the demonstration of stripping a currency unit of its status as lawful delicate. In an important move, the Government of India announced that the five hundred and one thousand rupee notes will never again be lawful delicate from midnight, eighth November 2016. The RBI will issue Two thousand rupee notes and new notes of Five hundred rupees which will be set available for use from tenth November 2016. Notes of one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, five, two and one rupee will remain legal tender and will stay unaffected by this decision. This measure has been taken by thePM trying to address the purpose against debasement, black money and counterfeit notes. This move is required to wash down the formal economic system and dispose of black money from the same. Its reasons are as under: This article has made an endeavor to evaluate how the device of Demonetization can be utilized to annihilate parallel economy. Demonetization is one of the enormous advances started byGovernment in tending to the different issues like black money, fake currency, corruption, fear mongering and so forth then again on the off chance that we discuss the Indian industry on a more extensive way it can be classes in three parts Manufacturing sector, Service sector and Agriculture sector. After demonetization just Agriculture sector demonstrates some positive change while on the off chance that we discuss the manufacturing and service sector both were smashed down and these will influence the entire Indian market in 2017 moreover.

Other specimens: 4 males (Figs 11–16) and 1 female (Figs 17 & 18) with same locality, date and collector as types.
Distribution. Indonesia (Enggano Island).
Remarks. There are seven specimens with same locality, date and collector, but only two of them have a label handwritten by Gahan (Figs 5 & 10), while three specimens (Figs 13–18) have a label with “ Rondibilis similis Gah. Breuning dét.”. Gahan (1907) described specimens of both sexes, but only the ones having labels handwritten by Gahan should be considered as types. In all likelihood, Gahan did not observe the rest of specimens. According to the ICZN, Art. 74.7., we hereby designate the male specimen (Figs 1–5) having the type label as lectotype and the female specimen (Figs 6–10) as paralectotype. “Engano” was printed on all labels (Figs 5, 10, 14, 16 & 18), so Gahan (1907) also used “Engano” in his paper. Actually, “Engano” was the Italian transliteration of Enggano (Modigliani, 1894), which is an island and lies off to southwestern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.

Scarus

description: [[Scarus]]
Ten genera of parrotfishes are recognized (Bellwood, 1994), of which Scarus is the largest, with over 50 species, and the only one present in all tropical and subtropical oceans. The general morphology is similar for most species of Scarus, and identification of the Indo-Pacific species of Scarus can be difficult for preserved specimens that have lost their distinctive life color. Meristic data are of limited value in species identification. Parrotfishes normally have IX, 10 dorsal rays and III, 9 anal rays. The number of pectoral rays of the species of Scarus vary from 13 to 16, and the count is strongly modal for each species, so it is often helpful. The usual lateral-line scale count of 17-18 + 4-6 is of no diagnostic value, but the number of predorsal scales and the number of rows of scales on the cheek are often useful characters. The gill rakers are small and variable in number within a species. Life colors remain the most important distinctive features in the classification of Scarus, but sexual dichromatism and the different color of the juvenile stages (Bellwood 1989, Bellwood & Choat 1989) can complicate species identification.
Parrotfishes have extreme variation in color with growth and with sex change (Choat & Randall 1986; Bellwood & Choat 1989), and the juvenile and initial phase color patterns are often difficult to distinguish among species. This has led to a strong focus on the more colorful males as the basis for species descriptions. In the present paper, however, the initial phase coloration is distinctive, with three prominent dark spots on the dorsal, pectoral base, and anal fins, forming the etymological basis for the naming of this new parrotfish species. The authors collected this species independently on the coral reefs of Surin and the Similan Islands of Thailand and the Mentawai Islands, Sumatra.

description: An efficient processing of organic solid residues will be pivotal in the development of the circular bioeconomy. Due to their composition, such residues comprise a great biochemical conversion potential through fermentations. Generally, the carbohydrates and proteins present in the organic wastes cannot be directly metabolized by microorganisms. Thus, before fermentation, enzymes are used in a hydrolysis step to release digestible sugars and nitrogen. Although enzymes can be efficiently produced from organic solid residues in solid-state fermentations (SsF), challenges in the development and scale-up of SsF technologies, especially bioreactors, have hindered a wider application of such systems. Therefore, most of the commercial enzymes are produced in submerged-liquid fermentations (SmF) from expensive simple sugars. Instead of independently evaluating SsF and SmF, the review covers the option of combining them in a sequential process in which, enzymes are firstly produced in SsF and then used for hydrolysis, yielding a suitable medium for SmF. The article reviews experimental work that has demonstrated the feasibility of the process and underlines the benefits that such combination has. Finally, a discussion is included which highlights that, unlike typically perceived, SsF should not be considered a counterpart of SmF but, in contrast, the main advantages of each type of fermentation are accentuated in a synergistic sequential SsF-SmF.

description: We investigate a distributed optimal control problem for a nonlocal phase field model of viscous Cahn-Hilliard type. The model constitutes a nonlocal version of a model for two-species phase segregation on an atomic lattice under the presence of diffusion that has been studied in a series of papers by P. Podio-Guidugli and the present authors. The model consists of a highly nonlinear parabolic equation coupled to an ordinary differential equation. The latter equation contains both nonlocal and singular terms that render the analysis difficult. Standard arguments of optimal control theory do not apply directly, although the control constraints and the cost functional are of standard type. We show that the problem admits a solution, and we derive the first-order necessary conditions of optimality.

description: Acceleration of electrons in laser-driven plasma wakefields has been extended up to the ∼8 GeV energy within a distance of tens of centimeters. However, in applications, requiring small energy spread within the electron bunch, only a small portion of the bunch can be used and often the low-energy electrons represent undesired background in the spectrum. We present a compact and tunable scheme providing clean and mono-energetic electron bunches with less than one percent energy spread and with central energy on the GeV level. It is a two-step process consisting of ionization injection with attosecond pulses and acceleration in a capillary plasma wave-guide. Semi-analytical theory and particle-in-cell simulations are used to accurately model the injection and acceleration steps.

description: This study presents pseudo-proxy experiments to quantify the reconstruction skill of two climate field reconstruction methodologies for a marine proxy network subject to age uncertainties. The BARCAST methodology (Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time) is tested for sea surface temperature (SST) reconstruction for the first time over the northern North Atlantic region, and compared with a classic analogue reconstruction methodology. The reconstruction experiments are performed at annual and decadal resolution. We implement chronological uncertainties inherent to marine proxies as a novelty, using a simulated age-model ensemble covering the past millennium. Our experiments comprise different scenarios for the input data network, with the noise levels added to the target variable extending from ideal to realistic. Results show that both methodologies are able to reconstruct the Summer mean SST skillfully when the proxy network is considered absolutely dated, but the skill of the analogue method is superior to BARCAST. Only the analogue method provides skillful correlations with the true target variable in the case of a realistic noisy and age-uncertain proxy network. The spatiotemporal properties of the input target data are partly contrasting with the BARCAST model formulations, resulting in an inferior reconstruction ensemble that is similar to a white-noise stochastic process in time. The analogue method is also successful in reconstructing decadal temperatures, while BARCAST fails. The results contribute to constraining uncertainties in CFR for ocean dynamics which are highly important for climate across the globe.

description: We present a computational multiscale model for the efficient simulation of vascularized tissues, composed of an elastic three-dimensional matrix and a vascular network. The effect of blood vessel pressure on the elastic tissue is surrogated via hyper-singular forcing terms in the elasticity equations, which depend on the fluid pressure. In turn, the blood flow in vessels is treated as a one-dimensional network. Intravascular pressure and velocity are simulated using a high-order finite volume scheme, while the elasticity equations for the tissue are solved using a finite element method. This work addresses the feasibility and the potential of the proposed coupled multiscale model. In particular, we assess whether the multiscale model is able to reproduce the tissue response at the effective scale (of the order of millimeters) while modeling the vasculature at the microscale. We validate the multiscale method against a full scale (three-dimensional) model, where the fluid/tissue interface is fully discretized and treated as a Neumann boundary for the elasticity equation. Next, we present simulation results obtained with the proposed approach in a realistic scenario, demonstrating that the method can robustly and efficiently handle the one-way coupling between complex fluid microstructures and the elastic matrix. © 2021, The Author(s).

description: Pulmonary delivery of nanocarriers for novel antimycobacterial compounds is challenging because the aerodynamic properties of nanomaterials are sub-optimal for such purposes. Here, we report the development of dry powder formulations for nanocarriers containing benzothiazinone 043 (BTZ) or levofloxacin (LVX), respectively. The intricacy is to generate dry powder aerosols with adequate aerodynamic properties while maintaining both nanostructural integrity and compound activity until reaching the deeper lung compartments. Microparticles (MPs) were prepared using vibrating mesh spray drying with lactose and leucine as approved excipients for oral inhalation drug products. MP morphologies and sizes were measured using various biophysical techniques including determination of geometric and aerodynamic mean sizes, X-ray diffraction, and confocal and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy. Differences in the nanocarriers’ characteristics influenced the MPs’ sizes and shapes, their aerodynamic properties, and, hence, also the fraction available for lung deposition. Spay-dried powders of a BTZ nanosuspension, BTZ-loaded silica nanoparticles (NPs), and LVX-loaded liposomes showed promising respirable fractions, in contrast to zirconyl hydrogen phosphate nanocontainers. While the colloidal stability of silica NPs was improved after spray drying, MPs encapsulating either BTZ nanosuspensions or LVX-loaded liposomes showed the highest respirable fractions and active pharmaceutical ingredient loads. Importantly, for the BTZ nanosuspension, biocompatibility and in vitro uptake by a macrophage model cell line were improved even further after spray drying.

Turismo al servicio del desarrollo sostenible, con la ayuda de tecnología e innovación

description: En el siglo XX con el final de las guerras mundiales, la Sociedad Internacional se dio cuenta de la necesidad de instaurar un nuevo modelo de ayuda para potenciar el desarrollo económico de las naciones más perjudicadas por las guerras (SANTIAGO D.M. 2018, pp. 55-56). El objetivo inmediato fue ayudar a la recuperación económica, pero como ya se intuía con la entonces reciente Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU 1945, Artículo 1º) el objetivo de fondo era crear una sociedad internacional estable. A medida que la globalización se ha ido instaurando en el mundo, impulsada enormemente por el desarrollo de la tecnología (VARGAS M.J. 2017, p. 80-82), se hace cada vez más relevante la necesidad de un cierto desarrollo para todas las naciones, sin el cual la prosperidad a largo plazo se ve amenazada incluso para las naciones actualmente más desarrolladas; como apunta el FMI las recientes crisis [incluida la actual del covid-19] han demostrado que las vulnerabilidades pueden extenderse cada vez más rápido entre sectores y a través de fronteras nacionales (FMI 2021). Es también en el siglo XX, a partir de la Revolución Industrial, cuando el turismo se empieza a desarrollar como una industria de las más potentes, posicionándose a finales de siglo como la mayor industria del mundo (WIKIPEDIA 2021c). En 2019, el turismo representó el 10,3% del PIB mundial, uno de cada 10 empleos pertenecía a este sector, y las proyecciones son de seguir creciendo fuertemente (WTTC 2020). Esto, unido a las características propias del turismo, lo convierten en una industria con gran potencial para el desarrollo y con un gran impacto en todos los niveles de la sociedad, no solo económicos. Muchos países son conscientes de ello, potenciado por las grandes organizaciones internacionales en materia de turismo y desarrollo, y están buscando la manera de sacar el máximo aprovechamiento a las oportunidades de desarrollo que el turismo ofrece (OMT; EIF; ITC 2016, pp. 4-5 y 10) (OMT 2015?, “Objetivo 10”). Este es uno de los motivos por los que se ha decidido centrar el estudio en esta industria. Hablar de turismo para el desarrollo, a día de hoy, es también hablar de tecnología e innovación, sin embargo parece que aún no hay mucha literatura que combine los tres componentes: desarrollo, turismo y tecnología, lo cual hace pertinente este estudio. De otro lado, además de una revisión teórica, se pretende realizar un estudio basado en análisis de datos que permita conocer mejor la situación real en torno al desarrollo sostenible y arrojar luz sobre cómo el turismo, con la ayuda de la tecnología, puede contribuir. Datos hay muchos, pero la bibliografía encontrada con análisis de los mismos es muy dispersa. El presente estudio intentará recopilar los más relevantes en relación a los tres componentes en estudio.

description: Ria-type estuaries correspond to complex systems at the transition between the continental and the marine domains, within a context of rocky coastlines. The Belon Estuary, in South Brittanny (France), is described as a typical ria-type estuary characterised by complex morpho-sedimentological facies, strongly influenced by the South Brittany’s geological framework. The characterisation of the morpho-sedimentological patterns is sourced from recent multi-data acquisition with acoustic remote sensors coupled to ground truth data. The Main Map synthesises the main results of this study concerning the hydro-morphological and sedimentological characterisation of the Belon estuary. This study adds up to former studies over ria-type estuaries and lay out the base for future studies on the hydrodynamic of complex rias, as the Belon estuary.

description: Gendered livelihood activities explain women’s lower income and higher poverty rates than men. Existing hypotheses attribute these gendered livelihoods to inequitable access and agency over household and community assets. However, this hypothesis does not explain why some people choose not to diversify despite asset availability. Personal aspirations may influence diversification decisions, yet, the role of these subjective mechanisms remains unknown. Here we show the role of aspirations in shaping gendered livelihood diversity and mobilities towards diversification, particularly in pastoral zones practicing agropastoralism in Baringo, Kenya. Through Poisson, multinomial logit regression, and robustness checks, we find that aspirations positively correlate with livelihood diversity with stronger associations than other intrinsic factors and certain material assets. After controlling for capital assets, self-efficacy, and locus of control, people with higher aspirations are more likely to be in long-term diversification than in late diversification and singular livelihoods, particularly non-farm-forest-use activities. These patterns are more pronounced in higher-income and men-headed households but less so in women-headed households. Women with higher aspirations tend to rely on non-farm-forest-based activities, which generate the lowest income. Higher aspirations of some lower-income households also correspond to intermittent diversification. Our results show that aspirations are an important determinant of livelihood diversification decisions, but they alone are insufficient. Women and the poor may aspire to diversify but they require essential capital and social cognitive traits to realize their desired states. Hence, interventions aimed at promoting livelihood diversification must simultaneously address aspirations and material assets. The inclusion of people’s aspirations in the livelihoods analysis may promote long-term positive economic behaviour given their forward looking nature.

description: The development of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA) and human carelessness have severely altered the Santa Catarina River (SCR). The objective of this research was to integrate fieldwork, a digital elevation model, exploratory surveys and satellite images analysis to develop a GIS-based map scale 1:40,000 and 1:5,000 of the Quaternary alluvial terraces and Cretaceous geologic formations present in the SCR. In addition, this study presents river geologic cross-sections, hydraulic conductivity estimates per terrace, a piezometric chart (dry season), and a database of contaminant sources along the river. The main results were the following: three terraces levels were identified, the distribution and hydrogeological properties of the terraces were documented, groundwater flow direction was southwest (SW) to northeast (NE), and 154 contaminant sources were georeferenced. This investigation lays down the basis for future environmental assessments and studies related to the quality and water supply for the MMA.

description: A new method for the image acquisition in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was introduced. The method used adaptively increased pixel-dwell times to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in areas of high detail. In areas of low detail, the electron dose was reduced on a per pixel basis and a-posteriori image processing techniques were applied to remove the resulting noise. The technique was realized by scanning the sample twice. The first, quick scan used small pixel-dwell times to generate a first, noisy image using a low electron dose. This image was analyzed automatically and a software algorithm generated a sparse pattern of regions of the image that require additional sampling. A second scan generated a sparse image of only these regions, but using a highly increased electron dose. By applying a selective low-pass filter and combining both datasets, a single image was generated. The resulting image exhibited a factor of ≈3 better SNR than an image acquired with uniform sampling on a Cartesian grid and the same total acquisition time. This result implies that the required electron dose (or acquisition time) for the adaptive scanning method is a factor of ten lower than for uniform scanning.

description: The Rivoli-Avigliana end moraine system (Italian Western Alps) hosts an important stratigraphic archive of Pleistocene glaciations. A new geological map provides a 3D architecture of the system that reveals a complex architecture of glacial, alluvial and lacustrine units. Six glacial units were recognized. During the deposition of the four older glacial units (Early-Middle Pleistocene) the morphology of the valley outlet had a different drainage pattern from the present, with the presence of large lakes. From the penultimate glaciation to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the piedmont lobe was confined within the valley, never extending towards the alluvial Po Plain. The LGM is characterized by two glacial advances and four distinct recessional phases during the Lateglacial. The presence of a bedrock inselberg affected the flow of the glacier front, which should have had weak erosive strength as shown by the preservation of lacustrine deposits below the glacial units.

description: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used as a method for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on substrates, most commonly pre-treated by a metal-catalyst. In this work, the capability of basalt fiber surfaces was investigated in order to stimulate catalyst-free growth of carbon nanotubes. We have carried out CVD experiments on unsized, sized, and NaOH-treated basalt fibers modified by growth temperature and a process gas mixture. Subsequently, we investigated the fiber surfaces by SEM, AFM, XPS and carried out single fiber tensile tests. Growth temperatures of 700 °C as well as 800 °C may induce CNT growth, but depending on the basalt fiber surface, the growth process was differently affected. The XPS results suggest surficial iron is not crucial for the CNT growth. We demonstrate that the formation of a corrosion shell is able to support CNT networks. However, our investigations do not expose distinctively the mechanisms by which unsized basalt fibers sometimes induce vertically aligned CNT carpets, isotropically arranged CNTs or no CNT growth. Considering data from the literature and our AFM results, it is assumed that the nano-roughness of surfaces could be a critical parameter for CNT growth. These findings will motivate the design of future experiments to discover the role of surface roughness as well as surface defects on the formation of hierarchical interphases.
