| Abstract | Mechanical properties of the dragline and the capture thread for the spider Nephila clavata, called Jorougumo in Japan, were investigated and the effect of ultraviolet rays and acid rain on their strength was studied to consider the applicability to the environmental assessment of the habitat of the spider. It was shown that (1) the dragline, which has a fracture stress of about 1500 MPa, a fracture strain of about 0.3 and a modulus of about 10 GPa, is almost equivalent to the best man-made fibres such as aramid fibres, (2) the load-strain curve for the capture thread is J-shaped and its fracture strain amounts to more than 200%, whereas the endurance load is much smaller than that for the dragline, (3) a wonderful mechanism for the capture thread termed the “windlass system” by Vollrath and Edmonds, was reconfirmed, and (4) the irradiation by ultraviolet rays and exposure to quasi-acid rain induced degradation of the thread. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
