    Quantitative 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

    SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) and IPOI (Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative): Shaping India's Security Through Regional Development

    No full text
    The world system is undergoing a period of transformation and refragmentation, the disintegration of a single political space into spheres of infl uence formed by the great powers. India, which forms such a sphere around itself, is faced with the problem: a serious economic and military lag behind China, trying, following the ideasof the Indian elites, to achieve hegemony in Southeast and South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. To fend off these attempts, India has put forward two concepts: Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR) and the Indo-Pacifi c Oceans Initiative (IPOI). The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems that New Delhi is trying to solve with the help of these concepts, and the consideration of the very process of their implementation. The author notes that both SAGAR and IPOI are not developed strategic documents, but a type of ‘vision’ typical for Indian foreign policy discourse. At the same time, the active assistance provided by India to the countries of the Indian Ocean region within the framework of SAGAR demonstrates that Indiaperceives these countries as part of its sphere of infl uence and is trying to tie them to itself both politically and economically. On the contrary, the concept of ITOI aims to form partnerships and informal alliances with ASEAN countries and Australia. The author believes that Indian regional concepts are of interest to Russia, allowing it to use the Indian experience and to participate in Indian initiatives

    The student, Sagar Ketan Vyas, accepted the attached license on 2020-03-05 at 10:28.A homogenized reaction-diffusion model is used to study the mechanism of frontal polymerization in glass-fiber-reinforced dicyclopentadiene-matrix composites by studying the effects of the material properties of the reinforcing phase on the velocity, temperature, and width of the reaction front. This model is also nondimensionalized and expressed in a general form in terms of two nondimensional parameters dependent on the material properties and cure kinetics of the composite system. The general nature of this formulation is exploited to generate a large dataset of reaction front velocities for resin chemistries that are similar to dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), which serves as the reference resin in this work. Finally, the homogenized reaction-diffusion model is used to investigate the temperature spike that occurs when two reaction fronts merge. A method to estimate the energy associated with the thermal spike is developed and applied to size a metal heat sink introduced to eliminate the thermal spike.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Sagar Ketan Vyas, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-03-05 at 11:12.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-03-09 at 16:11.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14886 on 2020-08-25 at 17:26:55Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-26T23:51:24Z (GMT).

    Aqueduct: Task-based entry points in Android apps

    No full text
    Modern smartphones offer voice assistants to ease a variety of tasks. However, the actions that can be performed by current voice assistants are limited – a predefined set of built in actions like checking the weather, and a few hooks that can be built into third-party applications. To extend assistant actions to third-party applications, the onus is on the application developers to manually add support for voice assistant integration. To improve the link between voice assistants and third-party apps, we built Aqueduct, a data driven task-based app search and task entry point discovery system for Android. We search over app UI data augmented with semantic annotations to find applications and screens within those applications that can accomplish a given task. Furthermore, Aqueduct can leverage the package name and the activity name of the discovered screen to automatically navigate users to that screen. A user study was conducted to compile a set of common smartphone tasks and evaluate the effectiveness of Aqueduct, which showed that it is effective at finding task-based entry points for a wide range of tasks. Aqueduct is also useful for augmenting search in application repositories, finding starting points for execution for task-automation systems, and even generating deep link suggestions for applications.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Aravind Sagar, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-15 at 12:17.The student, Aravind Sagar, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-15 at 12:24.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-15 at 14:11.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14321 on 2019-11-26 at 13:05:54Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:30Z (GMT).

    Minimum impact and immediacy of citations to physics open archives of arXiv.org: Science Citation Index based reports

    No full text
    The present work has calculated the minimum Open Archive Impact Factors and Open Archive Immediacy Index for the Physics Classes of arXiv.org as calculated for traditional journals in Journal Citation Reports of Institute of Scientific Information using Science Citation Index without the citation by the classes itself. The calculated Impact Factors reveal that High-Energy Physics classes of arXiv.org (‘hep-th’, ‘hep-lat’, ‘hep-ex’, and ‘hep-ph’) have made more impact on scientific community than any other classes except for the class ‘nucl-ex’. The Impact Factors for the year 2003 are: ‘hep-th’ (0.999), ‘nucl-ex’ (0.806), ‘hep-lat’ (0.766), ‘hep-ex’ (0.73), ‘hep-ph’ (0.719), ‘nucl-th’ (0.338), ‘quant-ph’ (0.334), ‘cond-mat’ (0.313), ‘astro-ph’ (0.195), ‘math-ph’ (0.162), ‘physics’ (0.061), and ‘gr-qc’ (0.002). It has been found that if the period for getting the citations to the open archive classes is considered one year as against two years for journal articles the rank of the classes are same. The immediacy of citing the Open Archives is also high for the High-Energy Physics classes. The Immediacy Indexes for the year 2003 are: ‘hep-ex’ (0.619), ‘hep-th’ (0.454), ‘hep-ph’ (0.44), ‘hep-lat’ (0.263), ‘nucl-ex’ (0.238), ‘quant-ph’ (0.202), ‘nucl-th’ (0.185), ‘cond-mat’ (0.168), ‘astro-ph’ (0.094), ‘math-ph’ (0.075), ‘physics’ (0.03), and ‘gr-qc’ (0.002). Definitely, the impact is much more than what is concluded from the calculated factors as the self-citations are not taken into the study. The above arguments may be strengthened if the study could use the web-tools like ‘Citebase’, ‘Citeseer’ etc
