A citation analysis of scholarly communications of Universities in Karnataka

Purpose-The study aims to analyse the resources used in the citations of 571 research publications of University of Mysore and Karnatak University in the field of physics and prepares the list of core journal, leading publishers and prolific authors. For any research and academic institutional libraries, books and journals are considered as key resources. As the resources are more and diverse, collection building is a tough task for librarians. Citation analysis is one of the best methods to list the most used resources by the users. The paper highlights the extent of use of different sources in the research publications of chemistry. Also the obsolescence of cited literature was examined in the study. Methodology- The main data source for this study is the references appended in the scholarly communications (only journal articles were taken in to consideration) of physics of University of Mysore and Kartnak University. Data consists of 17474 citations from 571 scholarly communications covered by Web of Science during 2009-2018. All these references were recorded on a specified data capturing sheet designed using MS Excel. Datasheet contained the reference data like bibliographical form, publication year, journal title, publisher and publication year of scholarly communications. Age of individual journal citations was ascertained by subtracting the year of publication of reference from the year of publication of citing article. The list of core journals was prepared on the basis of highly cited articles of journals in Physics. Findings- study shows that multi-authored (83.38%) sources constitute highest number of citations and 89.57% citations were from journals followed by books 6.21%. The country-wise break up of citations uncovers that USA stands first in the rank list with 6846 (39.18%) citations. United Kingdom and Netherlands occupy second and third rank respectively. Originality/Value- Information presented in the study provides insight in to the citation pattern of Physics literature. Data obtained in this study will help the libraries of University of Mysore and Karnatak University in collection building

Closed Mining Workers Socio-Economic Conditions-With Special Reference to Bhartha Gold Mines Limited(BGML)

A large section of the mining workers population in the country is engaged in mining sector. In spite of a very elaborate mining legislation in the country, it is felt that thereexist a number of gaps. These gaps need to be bridged. Certain amendments areon the anvil both at the level of the Central Government and also various StateGovernments, which would be of assistance to the prospective investors.This paper concentrates on analyzing and highlights the socio-economic conditions of closedmining workers. The aim of the study is assessing how the socio-economic problem is a prime factor in making the people to enter in the field of mining work. 50 samples were chosen by the convenient sampling method and study was conducted by adopting the empirical research design as an attempt has been made to describe the conditions of mining workers. As a result they develop unhygienic conditions in their living places and develop as slum-dwellers. The paper is based on research study conducted in Bharth Gold Mine LimitedBGML by the researcher/presenter where great portion of migrant population comes in search of jobs and they find mining work as an easy mode of earning

Bi-harmonic atomic force microscopy

In tapping mode atomic force microscopy, surface features are measured indirectly via the amplitude of the tapping cantilever. A change in surface profile is detectable only if it results in an amplitude change that is significant enough to be measured by the optics. Previous works have focused on improving sensitivity through the system\u27s Q-factor, either by changing physical cantilever properties or using feedback control, but those approaches undesirably slow down the dynamic response. In this work we take a novel approach to sensitivity amplification by reshaping the tapping trajectory. By shaping the trajectory so that the probe spends a greater portion of each period close to the sample, where nonlinear forces is strongest, and the amplitude sensitivity can be altered. A trajectory using two harmonics is considered and standard feed forward control techniques are employed to generate the desired cantilever drive signal. Simulation and experimental results are included and benchmarked against previous literature using standard methods. The results demonstrate that measurement sensitivity can be improved by a significant amount --Abstract, page iii

A citation analysis of chemistry publications by faculty members and research scholars at University of Mysore and Karnatak University

Purpose-The study aims to analyse the resources used in the citations of 1365 research publications of University of Mysore and Karnatak University in the field of chemistry and prepares the core journal list and prolific authors. For any research and academic institutional libraries, books and journals are considered as key resources. As the resources are more and diverse, collection building is a tough task for librarians. Citation analysis is one of the best methods to list the most used resources by the users. The paper highlights the extent of use of different sources in the research publications of chemistry Methodology-References of Chemistry research publications covered by Web of Science during 2009-2018 were the main data source for the study. Compiled references were recorded in the Ms Excel sheet for the analysis of bibliographic form, authorship pattern, country-wise citation and ranking of journals, publishers and authors. Ranking list was prepared on the basis of highest citations and place of journal publication was collected from the Scimago Journal Rank. Findings- Study witnesses the use of various information sources in research publications. Source wise distribution of citations shows the highest journal literature use in the study which accounts for 89.98% of overall citations. Results indicate that literature published by western countries were greatly cited. USA, United Kingdom and Netherlands top the list of country wise citations with 33.69%, 27.14% and 18.83% respectively. It is observed that majority of cited journal sources were by three authors (19.97%) followed by two authors (18.90%) and four authors (16.31%). Journal articles authored by single authors were cited to an extent of 9.29% and a small percent of journal articles were authored by eight authors (2.88%). Further, Rank list of publishers shows that journals (32.35% of overall journal citation) published by Elsevier were profoundly preferred by the chemistry research publications
