Dr. P. K. Mishra got his PhD degree in Chemistry, from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar. With a brief stint as a Lecturer from 1990-1992 he entered into his entrepreneurial endeavor along with two of his friends, the result of which was Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) (www.kiit.ac.in) in 1992 with 12 students and 2 staff members which was declared a deemed university in 2004 with a student strength of 10,000 and staff strength of around 2000. He had the honour of being the first Pro-Chancellor of KIIT Deemed University from 2004-2006. Dr. Mishra has the distinction of joining the prestigious International Visitors Leadership Programme IVLP 2007 organized by the Department of State, USA in 2007.
On the request of some NRI friends, he started Knowledge Trust (KT) (www.knowledge.org.in) in the year 2006 along with few of his friends and well-wishers from USA. Within 6years of existence Temple City Institute of Technology and Engineering (TITE) (www.tite.ac.in) under KT became one of the most sought after engineering college in the State of Odisha with 50% of the students coming from all over the eastern part of India. TITE is also one of the few colleges to have established linkages with academicians from top universities in US, Canada, Japan & UK.
With an objective of using IT as an enabler for management of education complexes and universities, Dr. Mishra co-founded Kalingasoft (www.kalingasoft.com) in the year 1999 and was one of the few individuals and organizations to have introduced Wi-Fi Technology & ERP in educational institutes in the 90\u27s.
Thus during 1992 to 2006 Dr. Mishra co-founded and successfully managed the following organisations: KIIT Society and KIIT University, Bhubaneswar (1992 - 2006.); www.kiit.ac.in Kalingasoft, Bhubaneswar (1999 - 2012); www.kalingasoft.com Knowledge Trust and TITE (2006 - cont.); www.tite.ac.in
Dr. Mishra in 2006 with his experience and expertise of establishing professional universities & institutes was invited by high net worth individuals & organisations to establish high quality educational institutes & universities in the country.

NodeLab: A MATLAB package for meshfree node-generation and adaptive refinement
No full text<p>Meshless/meshfree methods are cutting-edge numerical methods for numerical modeling, which unlike other mesh-based algorithms, do not require a structured grid/elements in the domain. These methods can work with scattered nodes in the domain, however, the nature of the modeling problem often suggests a certain type of node-layout to get the most efficient modeling results. Many real-world applications (like weather forecasting, tsunami modeling, and geophysical imaging, computational mechanics) require to generate a large number of nodes in a significantly large arbitrary domain. The literature in this context is up-and- coming, which focus on different aspects of node-generation based on typical requirements. The node-placing approach by (Fornberg & Flyer, 2015) is similar to advancing front methods and has been reported to have advantages like computational speed, simple algorithms, and good quality of distribution.</p>
<p>NodeLab is a simple MATLAB-repository for node-generation and adaptive refinement for testing, and implementing various meshfree methods for solving PDEs in arbitrary 2D domains. The core-algorithm behind this package is the node-placing approach because of its simplicity, computational speed and the quality of the distribution. The node-placing method has been used for creating initial node-distribution in the bounding-box of the desired domain. A crucial decision in this context is how to represent the geometry of the domain. We compute the Signed-distance field (SDF) for the domain-geometry based on a priory information about the domain, which is often used in mesh-generation for Finite Element Methods (Persson & Strang, 2004). This ‘a priory’ information could be the geometry created using simple shapes, given as a function D(x, y) = 0, or some discrete set of seed nodes — later providing the flexibility to create the domain by manually digitizing of the geometry. Refinement of the boundary nodes is done by formulating the problem in terms of differential equations that describe the path along the curve and interpolating through an ODE solver. The node-distribution in NodeLab can be refined non-uniformly by adapting the information provided through control-points, which are an input from the user. control-points provide spatial locations where the user needs relatively finer nodes.</p>
<p>Future developments in this package may include its extension to 3D, and surfaces, an optional graphical user interface, improvement in the adaptivity by using Machine Learning algorithms to decide the control-points, etc. NodeLab is intended to be an open-source and collaborative project, where developers and users could contribute to make (and keep) it state-of-the-art by incorporating the improvements as the research in this field grows with time.</p>

Our Words Have a Weight. Motor and Perceptual Resonance through Language Grounding
No full textThis work starts from reviewing anatomical and neuro-physiological studies conducted on the monkey brain. Compelling evidence demonstrates the presence of neurons encoding different properties of the stimuli, i.e. motor neurons that are activated also by visual stimulation. These neurons are located in the ventral part of the monkey premotor cortex. Also in human brain there is an area that seems to be endowed with analogue functional properties: interestingly this area partially corresponds to the Broca’s area. The coexistence of motor and sensory properties at the level of neuronal structure suggests that motor system not only executes overt actions but also represents them internally. Interestingly this motor resonance seems to be the neural underpinning of the idea of simulation emerged in cognitive sciences: our concepts consist in the re-enactment of the same neural activation pattern running when we perceive their referents or when we interact with them. Consistently, perception and action cannot be conceived as secondary processes of our cognitive system. In this chapter I illustrate their bi-directional relationship by discussing two empirical studies in which authors used a linguistic task in addition to a motor and a perceptual one. If language understanding activates the motor system it should affect action production as well as action perception. The symmetrical modulation we found suggests the presence of analogous mechanisms underlying motor and perceptual resonance
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
