Estimation of stature from percutaneous length of tibia amongst Bengalee population-an observational study in a teaching institution in West Bengal, India

Background: Assessment of stature from measurement of percutaneous body parts is important for identification. This assessment can be done from long bones, especially tibia and femur. Tibia is ideal in this context as it is subcutaneous, and measurement is easy. Various regression equations correlating stature with percutaneous length of tibia (PCLT) are outdated, incorrect or inappropriate. So, the present study aimed at finding a recent relationship, and if possible, correlation between PCLT and stature.Methods: PCLT and stature of 470 subjects of Burdwan district, West Bengal, India, were recorded.Results: New regression equations were derived from the data, taking into consideration the racial, geographic, secular and gender differences. After determining that PCLT and stature were related and positively correlated, the newly formulated regression equations were evaluated and found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: The new regression equations derived from this study could be employed for more accurate estimation of stature

Bibliometric Landscape of Indian Publications on COVID-19 in 2020

The paper attempts to provide a bibliometric landscape of Indian publications on the topic “COVID-19” in the year 2020. The threat of “COVID-19” pandemic constrained the researchers across the world to foster the research activities to combat the drastic effect of the new emerged infectious disease on human beings turned into pandemic in 2020 resulted influx in publication around the globe and the contribution of India found considerable. As per the data retrieved from Web of Science (WOS) on 29th April, 2021, 62755 documents published at the global level on the topic “COVID-19” in the year 2020 where India occupied 5th position publishing 3104 documents. The study intends to focus on citation, h-index, document type, prolific authors, authorship pattern, degree of collaboration, most preferred journals, publishers, top rated research institutions and research fields under WOS categories

Research Outputs Of The Older Indian Institutes Of Technology (IITs) During Last 50 Years – Analysis With Reference to Web Of Science

The paper attempts to study the publication trend of research articles of the Indian Institutes of Technology – IITs, the elite institutions of India established during 1950-60s (more than 50 years old) and continued to play a leading role in extending quality education and pioneering innovative research in science, engineering and technology almost up to the end of 20th century till new institutions added to this brand. The study intends to measure and analyze the research outputs of the older IITs on the basis of the research articles indexed in Web of Science during last 50 years (1970-2019) with other relevant issues. The result reflects that 5 older IITs together contributed 127481 publications as research output in different types of documents during last 50 years (1970-2019), out of which 116713 were published in the form of articles out of which IIT Kharagpur published maximum number of research articles (IIT Kharagpur published 26688 articles - 22.87%) but while counting the productivity for the blocks of every five years, different IITs achieved highest ranking in different block years. The citation impact, collaboration with national and international institutions, prolific authorship and productive subject areas of research among the institutions found competitive and progressive

Estimation of stature from percutaneous length of tibia amongst Bengali population

Background: Stature of an individual can be estimated from long bones as these have a direct correlation to the height of an individual. The standing height is mostly contributed lower limb length. Hence regression equations which are best upon length of lower limb long bones are indicative very much. Secular differences of tibial length could be the reason for need of more accurate equation of stature estimation among Bengali population.Methods: In this present study the maximum percutaneous tibial length and the corresponding standing height of adult 260 male and 210 female Bengali subjects were taken. The data were analyzed by parametric statistics and the regression equations were derived.Results: The mean standing height of subjects was 159.15 cm in males and 157.12 cm. in females. It was determined that percutaneous tibial length and stature were positively correlated; the formulated regression equations were seen to be statistically significant (p <0.05) in both the sexes.Conclusions: The present study revealed that there is high degree of correlation between percutaneous tibial length and standing height of Bengali subjects. Hence applicability of the present equations is critically discussed as these will be very much useful for various practical aspects

Generalized atomic subspaces for operators in Hilbert spaces

summary:We introduce the notion of a $g$-atomic subspace for a bounded linear operator and construct several useful resolutions of the identity operator on a Hilbert space using the theory of $g$-fusion frames. Also, we shall describe the concept of frame operator for a pair of $g$-fusion Bessel sequences and some of their properties

Stability of dual controlled g-fusion frames in Hilbert spaces

Some properties of controlled K-g-fusion frame have been discussed. Characterizations of controlled K-g-fusion frame are being presented.We also establish a relationship between quotient operator and controlled K-g-fusion frame. Some algebric properties of controlled K-g-fusion frame have been described. Finally, we shall discuss the stability of dual controlled g-fusion frame.Publisher's Versio
