One of the most significant consequences of global warming due to increase in greenhouse gases would be an increase in magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events. In the present study the trends in extreme rainfall indices for the period 1901-2000 were examined for 100 stations over India. The trends for the southwest monsoon season and annual period were calculated separately. The...

released board games based on The Walking Dead; one for the graphic novel series (Kirkman 2003) and one for its television adaptation (AMC 2010-present), respectively. Both games reference their core text in the artwork and style, and both develop from an explicit association with the requisite text of each medium. The game based on the comic, The Walking Dead – The Board Game (Z-Man) is a comp...

In this paper, we prove some coupled fixed point theorems for Ocompatible mappings in partially ordered generalized metric spaces under certain conditions to extend and complement the recent fixed point theorems due to Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [Nonlinear Anal. TMA 65 (2006) 1379 1393] and Berinde [Nonlinear Anal. TMA 74 (2011) 7347-7355]. We give some examples to illustrate our results. An ap...
