An earlier study presented an analysis of leather patents in India, covering the period 1912-1972. This article covers the subsequent period, following implementation of the Indian Patents Act, 1970. It compares and contrasts the two periods, and analyses the later period by country of origin of...

The structural and magnetic properties of <InlineEquation ID="Equ4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\gamma$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanoparticles dispersed on silica spheres prepared by sol-gel method were investigated. The properties of <InlineEquation ID="Equ5"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\gamma$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanoparticles without silica were compared with those on silica spheres. Both the nanoparticle assemblages were...</subscript></subscript></equationsource></inlineequation></subscript></subscript></equationsource></inlineequation>

Steady-state rates of heat transfer to a cold horizontal pipeline within an atmospheric pressure, air-filled, horizontal rectangular cavity with relatively hot isothermal walls, have been determined experikentally. The optimal geometrical arrangement, i.e. that for which the least rate of heat...

The geometrical configurations of those air-filled, horizontal eccentric annuli, that provide maximum thermal insulation corresponding to various imposed temperature conditions have been identified. For the concentric system, a simple correlation is presented which will permit the calculation of...

Flow patterns, temperature distributions and steady-state heat transfers inwards across a horizontal annular, atmospheric-pressure, air-filled eccentric cavity have been determined. Several different configurations of two low-conductivity baffles (arranged symmetrically with respect to the...

We study the solution concepts of partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibria and partial cooperative Stackelberg equilibria. The partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibrium is axiomatically characterized by using notions of rationality, consistency and converse consistency with regard to...
