Thelast decade has seen a surge in genome assembly and sequencing technologies. From the good old DNA sequencing and electrophoresis reads enunciated by Sanger, Maxam, and Gilbert, several tools were embodied through the use of these methods and yet, the challenges these methods imposed have had a paradigm shift. In this focused review, we provide a gist of the tools used by the genome assemblers and discuss the challenges and implications of the next generation sequencing chemistries shaped up by the development of tools.

Do oil and gas price shock have impact on bank performance
Publisher: Journal of Commodity Markets, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The paper examines the impact of oil and gas price shocks on bank performance in the major oil and gas exporting GCC countries, using data for the period 2000–2017. Results indicate that oil and gas price rises have a direct bearing on bank performance through the channel of price-induced bank deposits and related lending to business activities. The negative impact on bank performance due to a drop in oil and gas prices is greater than the positive effect of a rise in prices. Findings suggest that oil and gas price volatility has an asymmetric effect on conventional and Islamic banks. Conventional banks reap more benefit from the increased cash flow created by oil and gas prices, compared to Islamic banks. While Islamic banks are generally vulnerable to adverse oil and gas price shocks, conventional banks tend to benefit more from positive oil and gas price shocks. The association between oil and gas price shocks and bank performance in GCC has been distorted by the global financial crisis, the Arab Spring, and the ongoing Yemen War, which have lowered performance. The findings of the study have significant policy implications for the central banks as well as the governments in the oil and gas-exporting countries.

Reflections on sea turtle conservation
Publisher: Oryx, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Why do sea turtles garner such intense interest? The answer is visceral: they are widely loved! A cryptic life cycle spent mostly out of view lends a sense of mystery that makes them special. Yet, these large animals are highly accessible at an extremely vulnerable time, when females emerge on sandy beaches at night to lay eggs, before disappearing again into the oceans. Being nocturnal, they provide us the adventure of going out in the dark on secluded beaches to find them. Plus, the hatchlings are cute, and releasing them into the sea must be one of the most engaging activities that people can do with a protected species.

The role of the firm in worker wage dispersion: an analysis of the Ghanaian manufacturing sector
Publisher: IZA Journal of Labor & Development, 2016
Abstract
|
Links
This paper uses a linked employer-employee dataset from the Ghanaian manufacturing sector to analyze earnings dispersion in Ghana from 1992 to 2003, a period post extensive economic reforms. I find that variance of earnings increased from 1992 to 1998 and decreased thereafter, resembling an inverted u-shaped relationship. I use analysis of variance and variance decomposition approaches to understand the underlying factors that led to such a pattern in earnings inequality. I find that between-firm factors explain this pattern more than within-firm factors. I also find that the mean earnings gap between workers above and below the 90th percentile of income distribution can explain the majority of the initial surge in inequality (61 %) but only explains a very small fraction of the eventual decline (9 %). I run OLS regressions similar to Mincerian equations and decompose the variance components to find that the decline in earnings inequality is consistent with decline in variance of firm-level earnings whereas variance of predicted wage from worker characteristics have increased. I also find suggestive evidence of changing patterns of worker-firm sorting which contributes to the decline in inequality. These patterns however only hold up for private domestic firms and not for foreign-owned firms.

Carbon footprints and identification of ways to reduce it for Pharma Industries in Maharashtra
Publisher: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 2021
Abstract

Pharmaceutical sector is one of the largest industrial sectors in India and has been a power intensive industry. In addition to this, it is one of the largest employments generating industry, having said so it is also one of the largest contributors to the Carbon emissions in the environment. With increase in global demand the production capacities have been increased but many of the sectors continue to operate on the similar model as theyused to operate in the past decade, which is not the sustainable model in the long runespecially in lieu of the global warming and deteriorating climatic conditions. In continuation to the earlier study carried out on “Market Analysis of Energy Management in Pharmaceuticals and Steel Industry in Maharashtra” - ISSN NO : 2249-7455. This article studies the possibilities for deployment of new and clean energy for bulk power consuming industry likePharmaceuticals Sector, which can help them reduce carbon emission in addition to cost reduction of their power requirement.

Do tourism receipts affect bank profitability? Analytical evidence from 85 economies
Publisher: Research in International Business and Finance, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
Using data from 17,077 banks in 85 tourism economies during 1995–2016, this study analyzes the impact of international tourism receipts on banks’ profitability and hence financial stability. This study uses two-step system dynamic generalized method of moments estimator techniques to find that the tourism receipts are received through both direct and indirect channels and adversely affect bank profitability. Developing and low-income countries experience the greatest negative impact on profitability. Banks in European countries suffer the highest negative impact, whereas those in the United States are affected the least. Commercial and savings banks experience the highest negative impact of tourism. The findings of the study emphasize prudence in fiscal spending in countries where tourism constitutes a significant part of government revenue. The deleterious impact of COVID-19 on the flow of tourism revenue is likely to affect bank profitability and financial stability of the countries dependent on tourism. Therefore, it is of great significance to policy planners worldwide. The study also opens new vistas for research.

Does inequality adjusted human development reduce the imoact of natural disasters? A genedered perspective
Publisher: World Development, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
This paper examines how inequality-adjusted human development (IHD) helps minimize male and female flood fatalities across 19 Indian states between 1983 and 2013. We investigate if a higher achievement in the IHD index has affected male and female flood deaths differently while controlling for direct spending on disaster adaptation measures and socio-political factors. The empirical results suggest that Indian states with better IHDI score experience lower flood fatalities in aggregate. A 10% increase in IHDI at the sample mean results in the probability of 38 fewer total deaths from floods. Furthermore, we find a gender-differentiated impact of disasters as males suffer fewer flood fatalities than females with a rise in IHDI. The findings suggest that an additional 10% increase in IHDI at the sample mean results in the probability of 26 fewer male deaths from floods, and the same 10% rise in IHDI shows the probability of 12 fewer female deaths due to floods. Women’s involvement in social, political, and economic decision-making measured through women’s participation in voting in elections, grant them access to flood mitigation and aversion measures, which can reduce the impact of a disaster. However, the current participation rate is not adequate to reduce female flood mortality substantially. Women’s socially constructed responsibilities impose constraints on their participation in activities outside the household, including their mobility to the non-agricultural sector, and therefore, reduce access to warning information, which can increase vulnerability to disasters.

Random Forest and Autoencoder Data-Driven Models for Prediction of Dispersed-Phase Holdup and Drop Size in Rotating Disc Contactors
Publisher: Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2021
Abstract
Linear regression models are traditionally used to capture the relation between the input and output variables. Linear models cannot account for the nonlinear relations in the data. Hence, the prediction models may not be accurate. For this reason, machine learning-based models are being increasingly used. For modeling, design, and scale-up of rotating disc contactors (RDCs), rational estimation of dispersed-phase holdup and drop size is crucial. We have employed random forest (RF) and autoencoder–RF-based models for the prediction of dispersed-phase holdup and drop size in RDCs. Our results show that both these models predict drop size quite well. For holdup, the autoencoder–RF combination predictions are not satisfactory. The standalone RF model predictions generalize very well. RF-based models can be further used for prediction of different variables of interest in RDCs.
