Arambagh’s Foodmart: Pioneering Convenience Retail in East India

05 Apr 2023  |  indiaretailing.com
Arambagh’s Foodmart, a chain of convenience retail stores, is a well-known name in East India, particularly in West Bengal. The chain, which operates on a model similar to 7-11, has 80 stores across 24 cities. Biyas Roy, the Executive Director, discusses the company's focus on convenience, which includes store locations, quick checkouts, and home delivery. The first store evolved from the 'Arambagh’s Chicken' brand, and the company has since expanded, especially into tier 2 cities and North Bengal. Arambagh’s Foodmart emphasizes 'value for time' and 'value for money', with monthly promotions instead of price cuts. They have their own private label products and use 'Automated Replenishment Software' for inventory management. While they have not yet ventured into online retailing, they plan to expand into all tier 2 and tier 3 cities of West Bengal by 2025 and into northeastern states by 2026.

Inhibitory feedback from motor circuits modulates sensory processing in Caenorhabditis elegans

01 Apr 2023  |  journals.plos.org
The article discusses a study on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, focusing on how these animals integrate sensory cues with their behavioral context to generate responses. The study found that the worm's mechanosensory processing is modulated by its locomotion, particularly during turns, which suppresses the reversal response typically evoked by mechanosensory stimuli. The researchers used high-throughput optogenetic perturbations to show that neurons associated with turning (SAA, RIV, SMB) inhibit mechanosensory-evoked reversals during turns. Activation of touch neurons during a turn was less likely to cause a reversal than during forward movement, but inhibiting the turning-associated neurons restored the likelihood of reversals. The study proposes that inhibitory feedback from motor circuits modulates sensory processing, which may explain motor-related neural activity patterns seen across the brain in sensory areas. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the Simons Foundation.

Understanding Shallow Copy and Deep Copy in JavaScript

30 Mar 2023  |  medium.com
The article explains the concepts of shallow copy and deep copy in JavaScript programming. It highlights the differences between the two methods, particularly how they handle duplicating arrays and objects. A shallow copy creates a new object or array that holds references to the original object's property values, meaning changes to nested objects or arrays within the copied object can affect the original. In contrast, a deep copy creates a completely new object or array, including all nested elements, ensuring that changes do not affect the original. The article discusses common methods for creating shallow and deep copies, their limitations, and the implications for performance and handling of special object types. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of choosing the right method for efficient object and array manipulation, which can impact the performance and reliability of JavaScript applications.

Visualizing the Probability Density Function of a Classical Harmonic Oscillator

15 Jan 2023  |  dialnet.unirioja.es
The article discusses the use of probability density functions (PDFs) in classical and quantum mechanics, particularly in relation to the simple harmonic oscillator. In classical mechanics, equations of motion provide precise trajectories, making PDFs largely unnecessary. However, quantum mechanics is fundamentally probabilistic, using the square of wave functions to represent probabilities. The article suggests that understanding the classical PDF for a harmonic oscillator is important for students before they tackle the quantum harmonic oscillator. It also notes that the PDF in classical mechanics is relevant when there is some randomness in the system or when position is measured at random times. Theoretical studies have shown how the PDF for a classical harmonic oscillator varies across its spatial interval.

Over 100 children die from brain fever in India

19 Jun 2019  |  Reuters
The article reports on the tragic deaths of over 100 children in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES), also known as 'brain fever'. The outbreak has been linked to extreme heat and possibly toxins in lychees, but the exact cause remains unknown. The epidemic has highlighted the stark inequality in India, with poor families lacking access to good nutrition, clean water, and adequate healthcare. The situation is exacerbated by the overstretched rural healthcare facilities, such as the Sri Krishna Medical College Hospital, which is currently operating well beyond its capacity. The article also touches on the lack of awareness and utilization of 'Modicare', a free healthcare scheme for the poor, among the affected communities. The dire social conditions and the need for government action at both state and national levels are emphasized.
