Informetrics on M. N. Srinivas
No full textM. N. Srinivas, the well known sociologist is widely recognised as architect of modern Indian sociology and social anthropology. His publications have been analysed by year, domain, authorship pattern, channels of communication used. Keywords, etc. The results indicate that the papers published by him are of a nature that qualify him to be a 'role model' for the younger generations to emulate.
By the end of 1995, Srinivas had to his credit 144 papers which, included 33 broad papers in sociology and anthropology; 18 papers in social change; 28 papers in village studies; 12 papers on religion; 17 papers on caste and 36 papers of general popular interest. The periods 1958-61 and 1974-77, when Srinivas was 38-41 and 58-61 years old. were his most productive periods with highest publication activity
Lithium transport in crown ether polymers
No full textA series of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered crown ether rings bearing polymerisable side-chains has been synthesised. The crown ethers were attached to a methacrylate or acrylate polymerisable group either via a short link (Ring-CH(_2)-O-Polymer) or via a spacer group. Both hydrocarbon and ethylene oxide spacer groups were used, giving structures of the form (Ring-CH(_2)-O-(CH(_2))(_6)-O-Polymer) and (Ring-CH(_2)-O-((CH(_2)CH(_2))(_2)O)-Polymer). The ethylene oxide chain can potentially bind to a Li(^+) dopant ion. The relative Li(+) binding affinity of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered mono- and disubstituted crown ethers has been assessed by variable temperature (^13)c and (^7)Li NMR. The crown ether bearing monomers were polymerised using standard free-radical polymerisation methods to yield amorphous materials whose glass transition temperature (T(_g)) was controlled principally by the nature of the spacer group. On doping with lithium triflate (LiCF(_3)SO(_3)), the polymers exhibit high ionic conductivity. The conductivity was primarily dependent on polymer T(_g), but was also found to be higher for 12-crown-4 based systems than for 13-crown-4 and 14-crown-4 based analogues. This behaviour was consistent with the results of the NMR studies, which showed that Li(^+) exchange occurs more readily between 12-crown-4 rings than 13- or 14-crown-4 rings. The NMR studies also showed that 12-crown-4 systems have a higher tendency to form 2:1 (ring : Li(^+)) complexes. Within a polymer matrix, the presence of 2:1 complexes allows Li(^+) migration via an association-disassociation mechanism, avoiding the high energy intermediate state of a free or weakly bound Li(^+) ion. The greater encapsulation provided by 2:1 complexation may also aid in ion pair separation

Nacionalinis mokslinis centras „Prof. M. S. Bokariaus teismo ekspertizės mokslų institutas“ ir teismo ekspertinės veiklos reformavimo klausimai Ukrainoje
No full textSolving issues of organizing forensic science activities and, as a result, development
of forensic science institutions is a direction of scientific researches
requiring constant monitoring by scientists and practitioners. It is quite natural
that effectiveness of the investigation and consideration of criminal cases and
proceedings of other types in courts largely depends on the level and potential
of a particular forensic science institution and the system of organizing forensic
science in the country. In connection with the above, proposed topic seems to
be relevant. The article provides information about National Scientific Center
«Hon. Prof. M. S. Bokarius Forensic Science Institute» ideas are the basis for
issue analysis and ways for their solving, set out in the second part of the article.
Author of the article considers the main activity directions of National Scientific
Center «Hon. Prof. M. S. Bokarius Forensic Science Institute». The main
achievements of the Center in the field of science, education and forensic practice
are analyzed. The analysis of by-laws governing the activities of forensic
science institutions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is carried out.
According to the author, taking into account the proposals for reforming
forensic science activities will have a positive effect on the level of expert provision
of justice in the State
Labores pariunt honores. Scientific, Didactic and Organizational Achievements of Prof. Maria Szymanowicz
No full textThe article is an attempt to describe the achievements of Prof. Maria Szymanowicz, a long-time employee of the Institute of Arts Studies of the Catholic University of Lublin and head of the Department of Instrumentology, in the scientific, didactic and organizational fields. Prof. M. Szymanowicz is a researcher of the history of Polish organ construction and church music. In the scientific field, she is primarily the author of Polish Pipe Organ Bibliography. In addition to her scientific work, she is also active didactially by giving lectures and promoting doctoral and diploma theses as part of first and second degree musicology studies. Prof. Szymanowicz also carries out a number of organizational works by being a member of some scientific bodies and committees. She is the author of many inventory descriptions and expert opinions on historic organs
