Research Productivity of Agricultural Faculty Members with Special Reference to Maharashtra, India: A Scientometric Study

The study presented in this paper has examined the research productivity, for the period 2004–2019, of four agricultural universities located in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The 4,120 research publications of these agricultural universities, as reflected in the publications-related output of the Indian Citation Index, were analysed to ascertain the growth and patterns in agricultural research. This study presented, among other things, the year-wise distribution of research productivity, co authorship index, and collaborative index, degree of collaboration, most prolific authors and top-ranked sources preferred by the agricultural faculty members for publishing their research output. It was found that there was no consistency in the growth of research productivity of the four agricultural universities. Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, Akola and Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Rahuri contributed to more than 70 percent of the total research output. The co-authorship pattern was found to be more popular among the agricultural faculty members as 64 percent of the total research output was in the form of three- or four-author studies, whereas single-author studies comprised only 1.21 percent of the total research output. Ghorade, R.B. from Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, Akola was found to be the most productive author with 47 publications. Annals of Plant Physiology, Journal of Soils and Crops and Trends in Bio Sciences were found to be the most preferred journals. The collaborative index of 3.55 in 2004 increased to 3.86 in 2019. The average degree of collaboration was 0.99, and the average modified collaboration coefficient was 0.69. The research article was found to be the most preferred type of research document among the agricultural faculty members as against a conference paper, report or short communication. Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, Akola and Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Rahuri received the highest number of citations for their research publications during the said period of the study

A Review on Multilingual Text to Speech Synthesis by Syllabifying the Words of Devanagari and Roman

Speech synthesis is process of spoken language as an input text and converted into speech waveforms. This paper describes the text to speech system for Devanagari scripted language and Roman Language. There are many earliest TTS systems are available but for Devanagari and Roman scripts are not available

Secure Authentication Model using Grid based Graphical Images with Three Way Validation

The most common computer authentication method is to use text usernames and passwords which have various drawbacks. For example users tend to pick passwords that can be easily guessed. On the other hand, if a password is hard to guess, then it is often hard to remember. This paper provides additional layer of security to normal textual password by using graphical password for authenticating the user. As graphical passwords are vulnerable to shoulder surfing attack so we will send one-time generated password to users and even send credentials to users authorized email-id. Using the instant messaging service available in internet, user will obtain the One Time Password (OTP)

Review Paper: Real Time Based Data Acquisition System

The aim of this thesis is to implement and design a data acquisition system (DAQ) by using MATLAB. Early persons look at a scientific instrument and writes down observations. This became unchanged until the paper-based chart recorder became available. The digital computer acquired data, stored automatically and also analyses and reports it.DAQ is a group of interconnected hardware or electronic instruments to the measurement of analogue and digital signals. This paper introduces DAQ (Data Acquisition) process based on MATLAB of bringing a real-world signal we are trying to measure or capture the data from LED panels, digital read out type instruments, deflection needle type instruments and other physically observed like number of objects persons, observable weather conditions, entering a room or lighting conditions, into computer, for processing, storage or analysis. Generally for processing purpose, transmission and display analogue data is first collected and then transformed into the digital form

Assimilation of healthy and indulgent impressions from labelling influences fullness but not intake or sensory experience

Background: Recent evidence suggests that products believed to be healthy may be over-consumed relative to believed indulgent or highly caloric products. The extent to which these effects relate to expectations from labelling, oral experience or assimilation of expectations is unclear. Over two experiments, we tested the hypotheses that healthy and indulgent information could be assimilated by oral experience of beverages and influence sensory evaluation, expected satiety, satiation and subsequent appetite. Additionally, we explored how expectation-experience congruency influenced these factors. Results: Results supported some assimilation of healthiness and indulgent ratings—study 1 showed that indulgent ratings enhanced by the indulgent label persisted post-tasting, and this resulted in increased fullness ratings. In study 2, congruency of healthy labels and oral experience promoted enhanced healthiness ratings. These healthiness and indulgent beliefs did not influence sensory analysis or intake—these were dictated by the products themselves. Healthy labels, but not experience, were associated with decreased expected satiety. Conclusions: Overall labels generated expectations, and some assimilation where there were congruencies between expectation and experience, but oral experience tended to override initial expectations to determine ultimate sensory evaluations and intake. Familiarity with the sensory properties of the test beverages may have resulted in the use of prior knowledge, rather than the label information, to guide evaluations and behaviour

There is more and more development in the civil engineering field the construction of tall building, underground structure, landmark building, etc. The concrete is currently used in water, aggregate. As it is well known traditional concrete has greyish colour. The invention of new building materials is the need of time. In this concrete there is a new material is used to transmit a light through the concret

Utilization of steel slag in development of sustainable and durable concrete.

This paper reflects the results of an experimental investigation of the strength, permeability, abrasion, carbonation, and shrinkage characteristics of concrete containing various percentages of steel slag as partial replacement of natural fine aggregates. M 30 Grade concrete was designed as per specific national specifications. Steel slag was used to replace natural sand in the range of 0– 50%. It was observed that the steel slag blended concrete with up to 50% substitution exhibited a comparable compressive and flexural strength when compared to the control specimens. From the Dorry’s abrasion test, it was noted that the specimens could be implemented in heavy-duty floor tiles and even extended to pavement construction. The shrinkage strains, water permeability, and carbonation of steel slag blended concrete were observed to be increasing with increasing replacement amounts of steel slag in the place of natural fine aggregates. The concrete containing steel slag replacing up to 40% of natural fine aggregates can be recommended for all heavy load involving structural applications, and substitution levels beyond 40% could be recommended for non-structural applications, pavements, etc

Nishimori point in random-bond Ising and Potts models in 2D

We study the universality class of the fixed points of the 2D random bond q-state Potts model by means of numerical transfer matrix methods. In particular, we determine the critical exponents associated with the fixed point on the Nishimori line. Precise measurements show that the universality class of this fixed point is inconsistent with percolation on Potts clusters for q=2, corresponding to the Ising model, and q=3Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures.
