Impact factor (using impact factor to assess the impact of a journal)shri mangalambikai
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
Impact Factors are useful, but they should not be the only consideration when judging quality. Not all journals are tracked in the JCR database and, as a result, do not have impact factors. New journals must wait until they have a record of citations before even being considered for inclusion. The scientific worth of an individual article has nothing to do with the impact factor of a journal.
Sole reliance on citation data provides an incomplete understanding of research. Although citation analysis may be simple to apply, it should be used with caution to avoid it coming under disrepute through uncritical use. Ideally, citation analysis should be performed to supplement, not replace, a robust system of expert review to determine the actual quality and impact of published research.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of research:
- Basic research is driven by curiosity to expand knowledge without a specific commercial application. Applied research seeks practical solutions to problems.
- Experimental and correlational research test hypotheses by establishing variable relationships, with experimental research also determining causation.
- Exploratory research helps define unclear problems by informally reviewing literature or discussing with consumers.
- Historical research examines past events and solutions to provide perspective on current issues.
- Qualitative research investigates human behavior and decision-making through methods like beliefs and symbols rather than quantitative data.
- Quantitative research develops mathematical models and theories about phenomena through statistical analysis.
Publication misconduct refers to unethical behavior in publishing, such as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, inappropriate authorship, and duplicate or overlapping publications. It undermines the integrity of research. Reasons for misconduct include career pressures, lack of training, and inadequate supervision. Consequences include losing one's career and destroying public trust in researchers. Key types of misconduct are fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, inappropriate authorship, duplicate submission, overlapping publication, and salami publishing. Retractions can help make misconduct visible but have limitations as they may not provide full details or be widely disseminated. More transparency is needed regarding misconduct to help prevent and address it.

Nanofibers contolling heavy metal contamination reportMr. Lucky
Plenty of fresh water resources are still inaccessible for human use. Calamities such as pollution, climate change, and global warming pose serious threats to the fresh water system. Although many naturally and synthetically grown materials have been taken up to resolve these issues, there is still plenty of room for enhancements in technology and material perspectives to maximize resources and to minimize harm. Considering the challenges related to the purification of water, materials in the form of nanofiber membranes and nanomaterials have made tremendous contributions to water purification. Nanofiber membranes made of synthetic polymer nanofibers, ceramic membranes etc., metal oxides in various morphologies, and carbonaceous materials were explored in relation to waste removal from water. Membranes for membrane adsorption (MA) have the dual function of membrane filtration and adsorption to be very effective to remove trace amounts of pollutants such as cationic heavy metals, anionic phosphates and nitrates. In addition, recent progresses in the development of advanced adsorbents such as nanoparticles are summarized, since they are potentially useful as fillers in the host membrane to enhance its performance.

A Review on Detection of Cracks Present in Composite Cantilever Beam by using...ijtsrd
The aim of this paper is to discuss various techniques used by various researchers for vibration based crack detection in cracked composite structures. In aeronautical, mechanical and civil engineering fields various structural systems are likely to damage and deterioration during their working period. So it is very important to find damage and deterioration in structural member by an effective and reliable methodology. Interest in various damage detection methods has considerably increased in last few decades. A local flexibility is introduced in structural member due to the presence of crack that would affect the vibration response of structure. Due to the presence of crack there is reduction in stiffness of structure and increase in damping of the structure. Since there are changes in physical properties there are reductions in natural frequencies and deviation in mode shapes. Therefore by measuring the vibration parameters it is possible to predict crack depth and crack location in structural member. In this paper effect of various parameters like crack depth, crack location on natural frequency of beam is studied.Presence of crack in a beam decreases the natural frequency which is more pronounced when the crack is near the fixed support and the crack depth is more.

This paper investigates the influence of helicopter rotor wake modeling on blade airload predictions. A vortex element method is used to compute the free vortex wake geometry and rotor airloads. Various models for vortex core structure, vorticity diffusion, and vortex straining are tested to assess their impact on airload prediction. Empirical factors in vorticity diffusion models are evaluated. Comparisons with wind tunnel data show the benefit of using multiple trailing vortex lines behind the blade span rather than isolated lines or sheets, despite the higher computational cost. Accurately modeling viscous effects like vortex core formation and diffusion is important for reliable wake representation and induced velocity calculations, especially at large wake ages.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

18. Suggestions for enhancing the digital footprints of Indian
Researchers and Universities
• Developing institutional repositories (example : ePrints@IISc)
• Depositing pre-print/post-print versions in central open access repositories such as arXiv,
CogPrints, E-LIS, etc.,
• Publishing research papers in Open Access Journals
• Publish research results in journals indexed by major citation databases (WoS, Scopus, and
Google Scholar, etc.,)
• Publishing articles in journals which have both print and online versions.
• Upload classroom teaching materials online (Slideshare/YouTube)
• Maintaining individual websites.
• Sharing research results in social media (Blogs/Facebook/Twitter, etc.,).
• Maintaining researchers “impact file” along with CV (example: Google Scholar My
Citations/WoS ResearcherID).
