    Library and information science courses in India: Issues and suggestions
    (University of Idaho Library, 2019) Brar, K.S; Singh, Bhupinder; Kaur, A.
    Library and information science courses are professional and job oriented. Due to this, these courses are much popular in India and neighbored developing countries. This paper discussed the various library and information science courses offered by different institutes in India. The paper also highlighted some core issues related to library and information science education with some vital suggestion. The paper is comprehensive sketch of library and information science education in India.

    Noise Estimation Using Back Propagation Neural Networks
    (Institute of Physics, 2022-04-29T00:00:00) Singh, D.; Kaur, A.
    In this paper, a new Backpropagation Neural Network-based noise estimation method is proposed to estimate Rician noise from MRI images. To train BNN features of MRI images such as, contrast, homogeneity, dissimilarity, asm, energy, entropy, meanx, meany, meanglcm, varx, vary, varglcm, correlation, skewx, skewy, skew, kurtosisx, kurtosisy, kurtosis etc are used. For training BNN, four hundred fifty images are used which are downloaded from Brain web. � The Electrochemical Society

    Phenological behaviour of Parthenium hysterophorus in response to climatic variations according to the extended BBCH scale
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017) Kaur, A.; Batish, Daizy R.; Kaur, S.; Singh, H.P.; Kohli, R.K.
    Considering the importance of ecological and biological traits in imparting invasive success to the alien species, the phenological behaviour of an alien invasive weed Parthenium hysterophorus was documented according to the extended BBCH scale in four different seasons. A phenological calendar was prepared using both two- and three- digit coding system, precisely describing the developmental stages of the weed. The phenological documentation is further supplemented with the dates corresponding to a particular growth stage, pictures of the representative growth stages and meteorological data of all the four seasons. Results revealed that the phenology of the weed altered in response to the changing temperature and humidity conditions but no apparent climatic condition could inhibit its germination or flowering. However, the emergence of inflorescence was highly sensitive to the temperature/photoperiodic conditions. Variations in the phenological traits of P. hysterophorus with changing environmental conditions explain the acclimatisation potential of the weed permitting its vast spread in the non-native regions. Since the given phenological illustrations are accurate, unambiguous and coded as per an internationally recognised scale, they could be exploited for agronomic practices, weed management programmes, and research purposes. ? 2017 Association of Applied Biologists

    Ring chromosome 22: A review of the literature and first report from India
    (2012) Mahajan, S.; Kaur, A.; Singh, Jai Roop
    Ring chromosome 22 [r(22)], a rare cytogenetic finding, has been described in nearly 70 cases to date. Cytogenetic investigations were carried out on a 5-year-old male child with microcephaly and intellectual disability. Cytogenetic investigations revealed his karyotype to be 46, XY, r(22). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an r(22) anomaly from India.

    Use of E-journals by library and information science researchers of India: An empirical analysis
    (University of Idaho Library, 2019) Brar, K.S; Singh, Bhupinder; Kaur, A.
    Purpose- The purpose of the paper is to find out the level of awareness and use of e-journal by the researchers pursuing Ph.D in library and information science. Design/Methodology/Approach - The data is collected through a wellstructured questionnaire from the research scholars of library and information science. Findings- the study reveals that all the researchers of library and information science are aware about the availability of e-journals. The on screen reading is preferred by majority of researchers and the HTML is the preferred format. But the less number of researchers prefer or published their research paper in e-journals. Research limitation/implications - the present paper consists only of ejournals users of library and information science subject and scope is restricted to research scholars only. The scope of the study can be extended to other subjects and undergraduate, post graduate students and faculty of the universities. Originality/Value - there are many studies on the use of e-journals, but this is the first of its kind based on the library and information science researchers. © 2019 Library Philosophy and Practice.
