Analysis of Scholarly Communication on Phonology during 2000 - 2017: A Scientometric Study
The study is aimed to find out the authorship pattern and the collaboration trends in the field of phonology. In the study, Collaborative index, Degree of collaboration, Collaborative Coefficient, Relative growth rate and Doubling time these Scientometric indicators were used. The study found that the Degree of Collaboration is 0.5 which reveals the average relationship between singled authored papers and muli-authored papers. Collaboration Coefficient and Modified Collaboration Coefficient is less than 0.5, it means there were fewer trends of authors collaboration. But the study found slight growth from 1013 to 2015 and again decreased. As per the study Goswami, U was the first ranked author, Lingua was the first ranked journal and USA was the first ranked Country between 2000 and 2017

Application of Bradford’s Law of Scattering and Leimkuhler Model on Fluid Mechanics Literature Published during 2001-2019
The study deals with the application of Bradford’s law of scattering on Fluid Mechanics subject. It is found that verbal formulation 1: n: n2 has not fit with the data on Fluid Mechanics. As Leimkuher model applied for verification of Bradford’s law and it fits with 2:57:1462 geometric series with 0.005% of error. Other Scientometrics indicators such as DCI, ICI, author’s ranking, the ranking of most preferred journals, author’s impacts are used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of research output in Fluid Mechanics subject. The study found that major 13 highly contributed countries have international collaboration trends. ‘Tenduyar, T.E. is the most productive author, and ‘Chemical Engineering Science’ is the highest preferred journal in the field of Fluid Mechanics
Application of Lotka’s Law to the research productivity in the field of Thermodynamics during 2015-2019
The study applied Lotka’s law of the author’s productivity in the field Thermodynamic from 2015 to 2019. The Goodness of fit test Kolmogorov – Smirnov (K-S) test was applied to the data of thermodynamics research. It is found that the applicability of Lotka’s law is confirmed with 0.003 level of significance in the field of Thermodynamics. Bur Lotka’s inverse square law does not fit the present data. The study found that the most productive author is ‘Wang, J.’ with 159 articles, and the most productive journal is ‘Journal of Molecular Liquids’ with 547 published articles in Thermodynamics. The study reveals that maximum countries show international collaboration trends

Triazole hybrids as new type of anti-fungal agents
The present work involves synthesis of novel anti-fungal agents containing triazole scaffold. The newly designed compounds were synthesized on the trails of ketoconazole using the molecular hybridization approach. A series of 10 compounds having (2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl esters (4a–j) were prepared by conventional synthetic approach. The synthesized compounds were subjected for in vitro anti-fungal screening against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Penicillium notatum. Out of 10 newly synthesized compounds, six compounds (4b–f and j) showed remarkable anti-fungal activity (MIC range 6.5–25 μg/ml), whereas compound 4d (MIC 6.5 μg/ml) was more potent than standard drug ketoconazole (MIC 12.5 μg/ml). These triazole hybrids can be considered as potential anti-fungal agents
Performance of an in-house human immunodeficiency virus type 1 genotyping system for assessment of drug resistance in Cuba.
As commercial human immunodeficiency virus type 1 drug resistance assays are expensive, they are not commonly used in resource-limited settings. Hence, a more affordable in-house procedure was set up taking into account the specific epidemiological and economic circumstances of Cuba. The performance characteristics of the in-house assay were evaluated using clinical samples with various subtypes and resistance patterns. The lower limit of amplification was determined on dilutions series of 20 clinical isolates and ranged from 84 to 529 RNA copies/mL. For the assessment of trueness, 14 clinical samples were analyzed and the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System v2.0 was used as the reference standard. The mean nucleotide sequence identity between the two assays was 98.7% ± 1.0. Additionally, 99.0% of the amino acids at drug resistance positions were identical. The sensitivity and specificity in detecting drug resistance mutations was respectively 94.1% and 99.5%. Only few discordances in drug resistance interpretation patterns were observed. The repeatability and reproducibility were evaluated using 10 clinical samples with 3 replicates per sample. The in-house test was very precise as nucleotide sequence identity among paired nucleotide sequences ranged from 98.7% to 99.9%. The acceptance criteria were met by the in-house test for all performance characteristics, demonstrating a high degree of accuracy. Subsequently, the applicability in routine clinical practice was evaluated on 380 plasma samples. The amplification success rate was 91% and good quality consensus sequences encoding the entire protease and the first 335 codons in reverse transcriptase could be obtained for 99% of the successful amplicons. The reagent cost per sample using the in-house procedure was around € 80 per genotyping attempt. Overall, the in-house assay provided good results, was feasible with equipment and reagents available in Cuba and was half as expensive as commercial assays
