The geologically active south pole of Enceladus generates a plume of micron-sized particles, which likely form Saturn's tenuous E-ring extending from the orbit of Mimas to Titan. Interactions between these particles and satellites have been suggested, though only as very thin surficial phenomena. We scrutinize high-resolution images with a newly de...

The correlation between sleep integrity and attentional performance is normally interpreted as poor sleep causing impaired attention. Here, we provide an alternative explanation for this correlation: common thalamic circuits regulate sensory processing across sleep and attention, and their disruption may lead to correlated dysfunction. Using multi-...

Driven by the increasing channel count of neural probes, there is much effort being directed to creating increasingly scalable electrophysiology data acquisition (DAQ) systems. However, all such systems still rely on personal computers for data storage, and thus are limited by the bandwidth and cost of the computers, especially as the scale of reco...

The objective of this report is to reiterate some of the ideas on payment-surcharge, put forth the learnings demonstrated from the findings of Vistara/IRCTC, and formulate some salient guidance for policy. We hope that the findings of this report would benefit consumer education and protection initiatives of the government and RBI through some prud...

To promote small ticket debit card merchant transactions up to Rs 2000, the government during the calendar years 2018 and 2019 made merchant discount rate (MDR) zero for the merchants, and provided banks a monetary support, towards MDR, @ 0.4%. In contrast, effective January 1, 2020, the government made MDR zero for every transaction using RuPay de...

With reference to Section 10A of the Payment and Settlement Systems (PSS) Act, 2007, and the prescribed electronic mode of payment, the Unified Payment Interface (in short UPI), we address a simple query. Is it that banks and system providers are required by law not to charge upon any person making or receiving a payment using the UPI? An answer to...

We look into issues and concerns arising out of the recent payment system initiative on MDR for RuPay debit cards and BHIM-UPI. Some suggestions are given as corrective measures.

This article proposes a framework for studying and understanding how people make claims to land and other natural resources. We argue that a focus on claim-making practices of actors (individuals, groups, institutions, companies, the state), and the processes of appropriation, accessing and contestation that come along with it, best responds to Sik...
