A Flamboyant Fighter – Yuvraj Singh
No full textYuvraj Singh, a famous name in the world of cricket. He is such a kind of person and a sportsman who does not require introduction. Cricket fans see him as a stylish player who hits the ball with brutality, but there is a soft-hearted, gentle person somewhere deep inside. One of his childhood neighboring friend was my colleague at that time. After 20 years down the line he is my closest friend. From him only, I come to know about Yuvaj and his life. According to him, Yuvi is a great friend and a nice human being. Great friend, because he is the one who takes initiative to collect all the yesteryear friends and meet at one place and nostalgic time together. Nice human being, because he participates in many charitable events charging no money. He also runs a charity foundation, which provides aid and economic support who are fighting life-threatening diseases, mainly cancer

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

The first is titled "Photonic Integration of Divacancy Color Centers in Silicon Carbide", and the second focuses on the "Heterogeneous Integration of Lithium Niobate on III-V/Si Substrates". Chapter 1 covers the work on divacancy centers in silicon carbide (SiC), while Chapter 2 discusses the heterogeneous integration effort. In Chapter 1, I begin by laying out the motivation for using solid-state defects as promising candidates for quantum repeaters. An ideal quantum repeater requires a qubit that can interface with light and a robust quantum memory that’s well-coupled to it. Among the various systems explored, divacancy centers in SiC stand out due to their unique optical, electrical, and quantum properties. The bulk of this chapter focuses on unpacking each of these aspects. That said, most of the described work is based on divacancy centers in bulk SiC, and an understanding of how they perform in nanostructured environments is limited. Our short-term goal is to develop high-quality factor, low mode volume, and noise-resilient nanophotonic devices on a silicon carbide-on-insulator platform. This direction is motivated by the potential of photonic integrated color centers to make quantum communication more scalable and efficient. Towards the end of the chapter, I describe the fabrication progress we've made in the past few months toward this goal. Chapter 2 shifts focus to our efforts on integrating thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) with III-V/Si substrates. TFLN on insulator (typically on silicon dioxide) is emerging as a versatile photonics platform, especially for data communication. Lithium niobate offers low-loss propagation, a high electro-optic coefficient, and supports efficient frequency comb generation - making it a strong candidate for modulators and comb sources. When combined with III-V gain materials, this platform opens up the possibility for compact, low-cost transceivers, with promising applications in commercial data centers
