PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ON SELECTING THE OF EQUITY-BASED INDIAN MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES, USING THE TRADITIONAL PERFORMANCE TOOL

In the backdrop of liberalization and private participation in the Indian mutual fund industry, the challenge to survive and retain investor confidence has been a prime are of concern for fund managers. For small investors who do not have the time or the expertise to take direct investment decision in equities successfully, the alternative is to invest in mutual funds. The performance of the mutual fund products become more complex in context of accommodating both return and risk measurements while giving due importance to investment objectives. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the performance of selected schemes of mutual funds based on risk-return relationship models and measures. A total of 23 schemes offered by six private sector mutual funds and three public sector mutual funds have been studied over the time period April 1996 to March 2009 (13 years). The analysis has been made on the basis of mean return, beta risk, coefficient of determination, Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio and Jensen Alpha. The overall analysis finds Franklin Templeton and UTI being the best performers and Birla SunLife, HDFC and LIC mutual funds showing poor below-average performance when measured against the risk-return relationship models.

Impedance Reduction in the CERN SPS Through Element Layout Optimisation

The CERN accelerator complex is currently in its long shutdown while the LHC Injector Upgrade is being carried out. The upgrade of the SPS includes but is not limited to: the relocation of the beam dumping system, upgrade of the RF system, replacement of the electrostatic septa and impedance reduction. These major upgrades present an opportunity to perform additional impedance reduction in areas not normally modified due to the large amount of work being performed across the accelerator complex. In this paper, we look at the impedance minimization in the sections near the large aperture quadrupoles of the extraction regions in the CERN SPS. By optimizing the locations of existing equipment and the introduction of a new, more impedance optimised type of bellows, significant reductions in the beam-coupling impedance can be achieved.

Ruthenium-coated ruthenium oxide nanorods

The role of ruthenium and its oxides in catalysis, electrochemistry, and electronics is becoming increasingly important because of the high thermal and chemical stability, low resistivity, and unique redox properties of this metallic system. We report an observation of RuO2 nanorods decorated with nanometer size Ru metal clusters. We identify precise crystallographic relationships between metal and oxide, and provide a simple model for the synthesis of these structures, based on the theory of columnar growth. The high aspect ratio, high surface area, and quantum size crystalline decorations of these nanostructures make them particularly attractive candidates for further fundamental research and for advanced catalytic and electronic applications.

Diuretic activity of Euphorbia serpens extracts in Wistar rats

Euphorbia serpens has been used in central-west region of Argentina in traditional medicine as diuretic plant. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the diuretic activity of E. serpens in-vivo. We used dried aerial parts, and infusions from these were orally administered to Wistar rats. Its effect was evaluated using furosemide as a positive drug and isotonic salt solution as negative control. Their urine output was quantified at several time intervals. The volume of urine excreted and Na+ increased significantly, being similar to furosemide. Mannitol, was the main component in aqueous extracts of E. serpens, and the acetone extract showed the presence of Δ12- oleanane-type triterpenoids compounds, mainly hederagenin. No toxic effects were observed.

Laughing Matters in Courts: Humor’s Role in Normalizing Hate Speech

Humor is a form of speech capable of boosting the political value of a speech’s content or even reversing its meaning. Courts acknowledge these qualities by considering that an expression may enjoy an elevated level of free speech protection against government sanctions or private suits if it is formulated in a humorous way. This article spotlights another key attribute of humor, that is perhaps more consequential for the socio-political impact of an expression but that nonetheless does not seem to be invoked in free speech litigation: its power to increase the exposure of the speech. A humorous presentation of an idea offers its audience an entertaining form that is desirable to consume independently of the message it conveys. It lowers the costs of processing irrelevant or objectionable content and so bears the potential of catching the attention of those who would not otherwise be exposed to it. I argue that the capacity of humor to “raise the volume” of speech must be accounted for in the balancing formulas of constitutional and international free speech litigation. To underline the importance of this factor, I focus on cases of hate speech, a category where humor plays a decisive role in the outreach to audiences that do not always share the prejudice or intolerance of the speaker. This article analyzes the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and of French courts as an example of the general disregard of courts for humor’s amplification of hate speech. The far-reaching damage potential of this disregard is demonstrated on the case of Dieudonné, a notorious French antisemitic comic who has masterfully exploited humor to expose large audiences to hateful content.

Organocatalytic Enantioselective γ-Position-Selective Mannich Reactions of β-Ketocarbonyl Derivatives

Catalytic asymmetric Mannich reactions of β-ketocarbonyl derivatives (such as β-ketoesters and (2-oxopropyl)phosphonate), resulting in the formation of a C-C bond at the γ-position of the β-ketocarbonyl derivatives with high enantioselectivities, are reported. The bond formation at the α-position of the β-ketoester was reversible, and the γ-position-reacted product δ-amino β-ketoester derivative was kinetically formed and was stable. The dynamic kinetic process was key for the direct access to the γ-position-reacted products from β-ketocarbonyls under catalytic conditions.

Dental morphology of the pycnodontid fish †<i>Stemmatodus rhombus</i> (Agassiz 1844) (Neopterygii, †Pycnodontiformes) from the Early Cretaceous, with comments on its systematic position

ABSTRACT The dental morphology of the pycnodontid fish † Stemmatodus rhombus (Agassiz, 1844) from the Lower Cretaceous (lower Barremian) of southern Italy is described in detail. SEM pictures of vomerine and prearticular teeth are provided for the first time allowing the comparison with other Early Cretaceous pycnodonts, which are only known from isolated dental remains. The dentition of † Stemmatodus rhombus consists of incisiform grasping teeth on the paired premaxillae and dentaries and crushing teeth on the unpaired vomer and paired prearticulars. The vomerine teeth are arranged in five longitudinal rows, which display symmetry with a distinct median principal and two lateral rows. The prearticular bears three longitudinal rows. Teeth of the main row are much wider than those of the lateral ones. The tooth crowns are rather flat and expose a shallow apical depression, which is surrounded by a ring of widely-spaced small tubercles. The ornamentation and arrangement of teeth distinguishes dentitions of † Stemmatodus from all other pycnodonts. The wear pattern of the teeth is evaluated and the significance of the dental morphology in pycnodont taxonomy is discussed. In addition, the systematic position of † Stemmatodus is discussed.

Usefulness of Tissue Doppler Imaging to Identify Low Risk Patients with Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Usefulness of Tissue Doppler Imaging to Identify Low Risk Patients with Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Background Pulsed tissue Doppler imaging is a useful tool for the early detection of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the differential diagnosis of this disease from other secondary causes of hypertrophy. Objective The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of preserved systolic tissue velocities in patients with diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods One hundred and forty six patients with diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were prospectively included by means of a Doppler echocardiography study. Systolic tissue velocities were obtained from the averaged septal and lateral velocities. Patients with preserved systolic tissue velocities (Sa ≥ 8 cm/s; upper quartile) were compared with those presenting decreased velocities. The primary endpoint was defined as the presence of sudden death, stroke, heart failure, or hospitalization for cardiovascular causes at follow up. Results Twenty nine percent of patients (n = 43) presented preserved systolic tissue velocities in the tissue Doppler images, mostly in men (76.7% vs. 53.4%, p = 0.009) and with no age differences. Ventricular diameter and thickness were similar between the two groups while the atrial area was significantly lower (23.7 ± 6.7 vs. 28.8 ± 8, p <0.01). At follow up (median of 2.7 years), the number of events increased significantly as systolic pulsed tissue Doppler velocities decreased. No patient from the group with preserved systolic tissue velocities presented the combined endpoint, with significant differences with respect to the control group (0% vs. 21.6%, p = 0.001), and a negative predictive value of 100%. Conclusions In our population with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the presence of preserved systolic tissue velocities in pulsed tissue Doppler imaging identified low-risk patients with a very low number of events at follow up and high negative predictive value.

Gene expression patterns of TROL deficient plants

Photosynthesis, one of the primary processes on Earth, involved in converting solar to chemical energy takes place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, where embedded proteins are responsible for oxygen production, synthesis of reductants and energy. As sessile organisms, plants are often subjected to environmental changes of light quality and quantity, drought, pathogens and other stresses by various mechanisms which plants seek to compensate by activating signaling pathways and changing gene expression patterns. In this way, photosynthesis derived signals alter nuclear gene expression. By using reverse genetics and functional genomics approach, transcriptome of A. thaliana pathogen-associated protein TROL (thylakoid rhodanase like protein) knock-out plants were analyzed to detect changes in the transcript abundance, and identify genes involved in potential metabolic or signaling pathways. Experiments were performed using Affymetrix ATH1 oligonucleotide arrays. For gene chip analysis, 5 µg of total RNA from wild-type and TROL deficient plants were hybridized to Affymetrix ATH1 Arrays. Collected raw CEL files in the data set were analyzed using GeneSpring v10 software and Bioconductor packages, and quantile normalized using GCRMA method. Bioconductor-based statistical analysis of expression array data revealed a list of 638 genes with altered transcriptional patterns. Further data mining was performed using MADnet software and list of statistically changed metabolic KEGG pathways (62) was generated. Among highly scored pathways in TROL plants were lignin biosynthesis, starch and sucrose metabolism, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. Citosolic NADP-malic enzyme, protochlorophyllide B reductase, pathogen and defence-related genes, also AMY1 alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.11.1) involved in sucrose degradation were found to be induced in TROL plants. Depletion of protein TROL, necessary for sustaining linear electron transport and required for tethering of FNR in vascular plants, modulates the expression of genes involved in glucose accumulation (AMY1) and export (transporters). Possibly low sugar content in chloroplasts acts as a signal which carries the information (retrograde signal) through the citosol, for enhanced transcription of nuclear encoded photosynthetic genes and for the modulation of plant growth.

Ecological sustainability preservation of national economy by waste management methods

Introduction. With the development of the economy, the amount of waste increases per capita, the number of packaging materials and the total of goods, the life cycle of which ends in the transformation into waste. Due to the slow development of waste recycling in Ukraine, the problem of their accumulation is aggravated with the increasing impact of waste landfills, which are increasing and becoming an area of increased risk, which leads to a decrease in the welfare of the population and a reduction in labor productivity. Aim and tasks. The goal of this work is to analyze the problem of waste accumulation and find ways to reduce environmental pollution as an effective way to improve the well-being of the population and increase the economic and environmental potential of Ukraine. Results. The article analyzes ways to solve the problem, taking into account the realities and positive experience of developed countries, where waste recycling has become a lucrative business and is based on the secondary use of waste and its return to the life cycle as a commodity. Identified corruption links between business and government, inefficient use of budget funds, slows down the transition to complete waste recycling, and leads to a distortion of the free market system on a competitive basis and the impossibility of foreign investors interested in running a transparent and environmentally friendly business in the field of waste recycling. The structure of the main components of household waste and the distribution of the time of their decomposition are revealed, and a diagram of the negative impact of landfills on the environment and waste management is given. The article discusses the principles of state regulation, which can improve the situation in the field of waste utilization and environmental welfare of the population. Conclusions. An analysis of modern approaches in the field of waste utilization, both liquid and solid, has shown that the main method of waste utilization is recycling as the basis of the general concept of Zerowaste for the countries with a high level of development. In Ukraine, the formation of regulators and tools to overcome the garbage crisis is slow and does not lead to significant changes. It has been substantiated that, on the basis of internalizing external effects and assisting the population in minimizing negative impacts, it is possible to achieve a reduction in overproduction of goods and services with negative external effects. Significant progress in the utilization process is possible only in the case of investment attractiveness of waste recycling business, institutional changes in tax and customs tariff legislation, macroeconomic and financial stabilization in the country.

Submillimeter Plasma Diagnostics in Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion Research

The characteristic parameters of plasma in the tokamak, the mirror and the bumpy torus devices used in controlled thermonuclear fusion research are such that submillimeter wavelengths are required for a number of important diagnostics. These diagnostics include measurements of plasma density, electron cyclotron radiation levels, ion temperature, and impurity-concentration. It may also be possible to use sub-millimeter radiation to measure transverse thermal conductivity in a tokamak plasma by local heating and to determine the poloidal magnetic field by cyclotron absorption and measurements.
