Scientometric Portrait of Homi Jehangir Bhabha: The Father of Indian Nuclear Research Programme
No full textQuantitative and qualitative analysis with graphic representation of the publication productivity of a scientist facilitates easy and clear perception about the work of a scientist. Bhabha’s scientific work spanned over more than three decades (1933-1967) during which he published 104 publications, which could be classified into nine fields: Interaction of Radiation with Matter (4), Quantum Electrodynamics (5), Mathematical Physics (2), Cosmic Ray Physics (18), Elementary Particle Physics (14), Field Theory (15), General Physics (2), Nuclear Physics (4) and General (40). The highest number of publications (6) were published in 1941, 1945 and 1964 respectively. The average number of publications published per year was 3.05. His productivity coefficient was 0.05 which is a clear indicates that his publication productivity was quite consistent throughout his scientific career. He was single author in 79 of his publications and the main author in 24 publications indicates that he always preferred to work himself and lead the team as ‘mentor’. Bhabha had 22 collaborators during the period. Team of research collaborators working with a successful scientist documents the sociological aspect of history of science while generating knowledge by a leader in a domain.
Bhabha became a citable author in 1937. Bhabha received 1211 citations to his 30 publications out of 104 publications. Out of 104, 74 publications did not receive any citations. Out of 74 publications, 40 publications dealt subjects mainly of general interest. Bhabha’s 86.66 percent of cited publications received their first citations within four years of their publication indicates that his publications were noticed immediately and had direct impact among the fellow researchers working all over the world. His overall citation rate was 11.64 per cited publication. The highest citations 389 were received to the domain ‘Cosmic ray physics’. The highest number of citations received were 45 in 1938. His self-citations were only 24 (1.98%) and citations by others were 1187 (98.02%). The highest self citations were six in 1946. Bhabha’s mean diachronous self-citation rate was 1.98. The highest citation rate 28.4 was to the domain ‘Quantum electrodynamics. His single authored publications have received the highest number 863 (71.26%) of citations. Bhabha’s five publications have been cited more than 100 times each. His publications have been cited by the authors working in various diverse fields like nuclear physics, mathematical physics, instrumentation, optics, geophysics and geochemistry, condensed matter physics, applied physics, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering etc., indicating a very diverse influence and impact of Bhabha’s publications. Bhabha’s publications have also been cited by the Nobel laureates like V. L. Ginzberg, Wolfgang Pauli, H. A. Bethe, M. Born, W. Bothe, E. P. Wigner, H. Yukawa, P. M. S. Blackett and C. N. Yang which is an indication of his originality of ideas and high quality of publications
D-Penicillamine for preventing retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants
No full textBackground The rate of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in moderately premature infants has decreased dramatically with improved care in the neonatal intensive care unit. A low rate of this disorder was unexpectedly observed among infants treated with intravenous D-penicillamine to prevent hyperbilirubinaemia. This observation led to the investigation of its use, both enterally as well as intravenously, to prevent ROP. Objectives To determine the effect of prophylactic administration of D-penicillamine on the incidence of acute ROP or severe ROP and other morbidities in preterm infants. Search methods We used the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group search strategy. Two review authors independently searched multiple electronic databases, previous reviews including cross references, abstracts, conference/symposia proceedings, and expert informants. We updated the search on November 27, 2012. Selection criteria We included randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials if they administered D-penicillamine and compared it with no treatment or placebo to premature infants and reported on the outcome of ROP. Data collection and analysis We used the criteria and standard methods of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group to assess the methodological quality of the included trials. One review author examined trials for validity. A second review author checked validity and they reached consensus on the final data before entry into this review. We used the standards of the Neonatal Cochrane Review Group to analyse data. Main results Three randomised trials met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed no significant differences in the risk of any stage ROP (typical risk ratio (RR) 0.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.03 to 3.70), severe ROP (typical RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.03 to 4.26) or death (typical RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.32) in all treated infants. When the subgroup of infants under 1500 g birth weight was examined, the results were similar. No side effects were reported, and follow-up at one year revealed no significant differences in spasticity or developmental delay. Authors' conclusions Administration of prophylactic D-penicillamine in preterm infants does not prevent acute or severe ROP, death or neurodevelopmental delay. D-penicillamine cannot be recommended for the prevention of ROP based on the available evidence
Globalisation and sustainable exports of Indian medicinal and aromatic plants: A protection study
No full textIndia has a rich heritage of traditional systems of medicine viz. Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Tibetan which are mostly based on botanical formulations. Although biologically, the region is extremely rich in medicinal plants, due to years of unwise use, the availability of raw materials in desired quality and quantity has become difficult to obtain raising serious doubt about the safety and efficacy of the medicines currently in use. There is unprecedented demand for natural medicines, green health products, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, cosmetics, and herbal pesticides to bring about this alarming loss of plant biodiversity. The sustainable production, conservation and use of medicinal plants are influenced by a number of factors, largely of socio-economic, technical, institutional and policy nature. Unsustainable harvesting of the raw materials from the wild by untrained and poor collectors mostly using primitive methods and lack of awareness about the real value of the resources are other two important factors leading to resource depletion. Rural people derive a substantial portion of their income and products for their basic health care needs from medicinal plants gathered from the nature. Medicinal plants-based drug industries and enterprises which run into thousands presently source more than 85% of their raw materials from the wild as they are cheap and believed to be of higher potency. There is a great need to reduce pressure on the in-situ sources by diversifying the production sites of these important plants. Domestication is one of the alternatives being attempted but given the large population of developing countries living below poverty line and growing need for economic and environmental security, it is unlikely that the current lands devoted to pure or mixed agriculture or forestry can be diverted to grow medicinal plants in a significant amount. Besides, domestication has to be carried out in similar habitats since some of the cultivated plants are known to give different chemical constituents than their natural counterparts due to environmental factors. As a large number of private sectors investment is possible in this sector, medicinal plants can be developed as a potential bridge between sustainable economic developments, safe & affordable health care and conservation of vital biodiversity. The paper suggests that a long-term and sustainable bio-partnerships between industry and rural communities should be formed which is in the interest of both the producers/collectors and drug industries as both stand to gain. The former will have regular, reliable and quality supply sources of raw materials and later will have assured market, increased income and fair price for their products. Necessary support and facilitation by the GOs, NGOs and academia in terms of technology transfer, Policy and legal support and extension may build and strengthen the partnership evolution process. There is an immediate need to initiate pilot case studies and model buy back arrangements between collectors/growers and industry representatives to start this process. This paper analyses the social, economic and institutional implications of such relationships based on various examples of evolving partnership concepts focusing on their efficiency, equity, and feasibility.Medicinal Plants and Livelihood Security; Holistic Rocource Management Approach; Partnership Ventures; Sustainable Commercialisation
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Anil Kumar Lala (1950–2004)
No full textAnil Kumar Lala, Professor of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay died on 17 July 2004, following a stroke that he suffered three weeks earlier. Born on 13 January 1950, Lala did his B Sc from Delhi University and obtained his Ph D in 1974,working under the supervision of A. B. Kulkarni at Bombay University. His doctoral work was in the area of steroid chemistry, introducing him to the areas of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Following a year at the Central Drug Research Institute in Lucknow, Lala moved to the State University of Ghent, Belgium,to work with Marc Anteunis. I first saw his name in a scientific publication,when the conformational analysis of methionine enkephalin, then recently discovered as the endogeneous ligand for the opioid receptor, was described by the French and Belgian groups, with Lala as a co-author (Roques, B. P. et al., Nature,1976, 262, 778). In 1976, he moved to Harvard University to work with Konrad Bloch and it is this period, which sparked his lifelong interest in membranes, specifically lipid–protein interactions. Lala joined the chemistry department at IIT,Mumbai in 1979 and it was here that he spent the remaining 25 years of his scientific career
Lasers in medical applications: R&D Mapping
No full textA study of the MEDLINE CDROM database, for the period 1969-2000 was undertaken. The purpose was, to identify core areas of research and development, in the field of applications of lasers to humans, along with other bibliometric indicators of research. A total of 34,833 records were retrieved, downloaded and analysed. The results
indicate a steady increase in the number of publications every year, from 1970 onwards, with 1997 (2767 articles) and 1998 (2914 articles) being the most productive years. The most prolific contributors were J. Haut, with 95 publications to his credit, followed by M. Landthaler (82), G. Coscas (79), S.G. Bown (73) and P. Bjerring (70). Collaboration among the authors was high, with a maximum of 15 contributors observed in a few articles. The top ranking journal in the field was Ophthalmology, which published 769 articles starting from 1978. USA was way ahead as the country with the highest journal productivity (around 40% of the total number of records), followed by UK and Germany.
A total of 103 articles were published from India. English was the preferred language of publication, with 75% of the records being published in English language. In the use of
lasers for humans, maximum number of records were found for adult and middle aged populations. Research focussed on the eye and its various diseases. Lasers were found to
be used for therapeutic purposes, in surgery and in the diagnosis of diseases. Carbondioxide laser was most frequently used for medical applications. Though there
were quite a few references on the adverse effects of lasers, the therapeutic effects far outweighed them

The female of <i>Dasyproctus geethae</i> runs to <i>Dasyproctus pentheri</i> Leclercq, 1956 in the key to Asian and Oceanic <i>Dasyproctus</i> (Leclercq 2015) due to the overall appearance and texture of the body. It resembles the widespread <i>D. pentheri</i> in the punctation of head, mesosoma and metasoma; robustness of first metasomal tergum; conspicuous interocular carina dividing the frons, followed by a regular, concave and vaguely foveolate excavation and carina from one orbit to the other; maculation pattern on metasomal terga and well-imprinted supra-orbital fossa smaller than median ocellus. However, <i>D. geethae</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> differs from <i>D. pentheri</i> in having: clypeus with two well produced lobes apico-medially and pointed lateral process, no median indentations (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, clypeus quadridentate with a median indentation formed by an overhanging prolongation of median carina); with macula of Gt 2 elongated and similar to macula of Gt 3 and Gt 4 (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, macula of Gt 2 is rounded and smaller than maculae of Gt 3 –Gt 5); punctation on mesopleuron similar to that of the head, mesosoma and metasoma (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, punctation of mesopleuron is obsolete); POD almost equal to OOD (in <i>D. pentheri</i> POD is distinctly shorter than OOD); pronotum anterolaterally distinctly rugose with vertical wrinkles (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, pronotum has no large vertical wrinkles anterolaterally); Gt 1 with anterior third distinctly and conspicuously rugose (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, Gt 1 uniformly sculptured with widely separated pits and alutaceous interspaces); length of Gt 1 distinctly less than 2×, its greatest width, 1.4× Gt 2 (in <i>D. pentheri</i>, length of Gt 1 roughly 2× its greatest width, not greatly exceeding the length of Gt 2). In the key to males of <i>Dasyproctus</i> from Asia and Oceania (Leclercq 2015), the male of <i>D. geethae</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> runs to the couplet separating <i>D. pentheri</i> and <i>D. percarus</i> Leclercq. It resembles <i>D. pentheri</i> in having Gt 5 –Gt 6 with wide bands and punctation on head and mesosoma and a sturdy, short Gt 1. The male differs from <i>D. pentheri</i> in having pronotum with distinct rugae anterior to the collar (in <i>D. pentheri</i> pronotum without rugae or wrinkles anteriorly); Gt 2 finely punctured (in <i>D. pentheri</i> Gt 2 impunctate). The male of <i>D. geethae</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> resembles <i>D. percarus</i> in having Gt 2 punctate and pronotum with distinct rugae anterior to the collar. However, the new species differs in that: Gt 2 –Gt 6 maculated (in <i>D. percarus</i> all terga immaculate); Gt 1 short and sturdy (in <i>D. percarus</i> Gt 1 slenderer); punctation moderate on head and mesosoma (in <i>D. percarus</i> punctation on head and mesosoma is conspicuous and dense with reticulate interspaces).</p> <p> <b>Description</b>.
