Technological Advances for Treating Municipal waste
No full textMunicipal solid waste management (MSWM) is a challenging task, which has grown immensely due to the changes in lifestyle throughout the world.In developed countries, appropriate norms and adequate administrative and financial resources clubbed with innovative technologies are some driving force, which is proving helpful in MSWM. However, an ever-changing waste composition and some techno-environmental issues still exist. On the other hand, in developing countries in the absence of these provisions, MSWM is becoming a key of socioeconomic development. Due to variations in waste composition, there is a need to adopt multiple means of waste disposal. It thus demands revisiting the available know-how and making the required corrections to suit the grossly ill-classified wastes. In this chapter, characteristic components of MSW and possibilities of their disposal through thermal and biological treatment technology are reviewed.The generation of renewable energy while treating waste, makes disposal an organized and attractive option
DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology (DJLIT): A Bibliometric Analysis of Cited References
No full text<p>The paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the 4821 cited documents appended to the 295 articles published in DJLIT during 2011-15. The citation analysis is based on various strictures such as studying distribution of citations, authorship pattern, degree of collaboration, distribution of reference sources, prominent authors and ranked list of core journals. The study revealed that there is dominance of single authorship with 1912 (39.65%) citations followed by two authors with 1152 (23.89%) citations, three authors with 456 (9.45%) citations and more than three authors with 386 (8%) citations. There has been the availability of a good degree of institutional publications as well. Year-wise authorship pattern is also specified so as to see the dominance of particular authorship pattern for the period considered under the study. The degree of authors’ collaboration for the present study is 0.51 and modified collaborative coefficient is 0.3661. Dr B.M. Gupta with 52 citations is the most prolific author. Dr K.C. Garg and Dr B.S. Kademani are at the second and third position respectively. The study further exposed the journal to be the mostly cited information source 2560 (53.10%) followed by websites (22.69%) and books (10.81%). Conference papers, reports, theses, workshop papers and seminar papers equally seem to be preferred domain with regard to using pertinent information source. Ranked list of journals denotes Scientometrics to be the most used journal (6.60%) by the authors contributing in DJLIT. The source journal is at the second position in the ranked list with 5.43%. A glance at the ranked core list of journals suggests that maximum journals are from foreign countries.</p></jats:p
