India’s Science and Technology output, 1989-2014: A Scientometric Analysis

The present study determines the extent of India’s Publication growth in Science and Technology. The data was extracted from the Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science for the period 1989-2014. The study covers a year wise growth of Science and Technology publications; Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time (DT), Activity Index (AI) of different countries; international collaboration, productive Indian Institutes, prolific authors in Science and Technology field. The results reveal that (i) India’s publication effort in Science and Technology research corresponds to the world’s average (ii) The USA topped the list among the highly productive countries with 4, 32,093 publications (iii) The highest number of publications were published by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (4,117 publications) (iv) Among the journals preferred, Current Science (India) ranked first with 14,245 publications etc

Application of Bradford\u27s law of Scattering to the Literature of Microbiology in India

The present paper investigates Bradford’s Law of scattering for the ‘Microbiology’ literature in India for the period 2002-2016 as accessible in the Web of Science Core Collection database. A total of 25,744 articles related to Microbiology literature published in journals during the study period is retrieved. The data has been examined with respect to year-wise publication productivity, Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (DT) of literature. The time series analysis is also used to predict the future growth of literature. The 25,744 articles are scattered in 328 journals. A top ranked journals list was prepared and it unveiled that the Bio-resource Technology Journal has emerged as the most preferred journal with 1,610 (6.25%) articles followed by Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology with 1,019 (3.95%) articles and World journal of Microbiology Biotechnology with 746 (2.89%) articles. Theoretical aspects of Bradford’s Law of Scattering are verified and manifested that the data does not fit to the present sample. The Leimkuhler model is applied and it proved to the data set for the Bradford Multiplier (k) at 14.17. The Bradford law is also verified through graphical formulation by drawing the graph and is found to approve all the three characteristics

Technologies of computer-based translation from English into Lithuanian

The article gives short overview of language processing technology and focuses on developing the computer-based translation (CBT) from English to Lithuanian. Details of direct, transfer and interlingua translation principles and its application for English–Lithuanian translation problem arc discussed. Common machine translation models are presented and conceptual hierarchical model for CBT system from English to Lithuanian is proposed. According to the CBT model paradigm a system for specialized English translation into Lithuanian is created. It includes user interface, virtual dictionary, text prasing, translation engine and several modules of knowledge sources. Direct translation strategy with some transfer elements of syntactic sentence groups is used. It allows implementing better translation quality for more complicated sources. The features of the first version of CBT is presented
