Dynamics of finite-sized light spheres in turbulence
No full textWe report experimental results on the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-size light particles in turbulence. Using an orthogonal camera setup and 3D particle tracking, we study the velocity and acceleration statistics of rigid light spheres in a water tunnel with nearly homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The Reynolds number (ReY) is varied from 180 to 300, and the study covers a range of size ratios (4 < D/η < 16) for marginally light spheres. We find that the normalised acceleration PDF decreases in intermittency with increasing size ratio - in qualitative agreement with the predictions of the Faxén corrected model. We also present preliminary results on the rotational dynamics of large light spheres in turbulence

Transcriptome Sequencing and Analysis of Seabuckthorn (Hippophae Sp.)
No full textSeabuckthorn (Hippophae Sp.) is known for its immense medicinal, nutritional, and agronomical properties and has been utilized for centuries as traditional medicine and food supplements in various countries of Asia and Europe. The revolutionary development in the field of sequencing from first to the third generation opens a whole new horizon to explore the transcriptome of non-crop but important plant species. Many next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based transcriptome studies exploring different prospects such as therapeutic uses, stress management, and sex determination have been conducted for seabuckthorn in the last decade. Currently, a complete transcriptome profile from leaf and root tissues along with other transcriptomes profiled under different environmental conditions is available in the public domain for seabuckthorn. In the current chapter, we have highlighted the recent developments and techniques used for NGS-based transcriptome profiling for seabuckthorn. We have also discussed the challenges and prospects of NGS-based transcriptome studies in seabuckthorn. The transcriptome profiles generated for seabuckthorn could further be exploited to isolate molecular markers, microRNAs, other small and long non-coding RNAs, and gene families specific to this plant. Finally, a strategy for the utilization of third (next to next) generation sequencing to explore the seabuckthorn transcriptome is also discussed. The current chapter could serve as a good reference for transcriptome studies in seabuckthorn and other related plant species

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
