Item The World of Gurbani-Principles of Interpretation(Taylor and Francis, 2023-08-29T00:00:00) Singh, JagbirThe essay discusses the features, characteristics and principles of Gurbani. The major concern of the essay is to elucidate the model presented to attempt inter-religious dialogue that has contemporary validity through the medium of traditional sentiment of universal religious understanding. Those who closely analyse the Gurbani will realise that all its authors respect the way of life and ideology of other sects while being attached to their own religious sects and they are interested in inter-communication on a plane of equality. � 2023 selection and editorial matter, Rana Nayar, Alpna Saini and Tania Bansal; individual chapters, the contributors; individual translations, the translators. � 2023 selection and editorial matter, Rana Nayar, Alpna Saini and Tania Bansa.Item A Bibliometric Assessment Of India's Library And Information Science Research Publications During 2011-2020(University of Idaho Library, 2021-06-09T00:00:00) Srivastava, Prachi; Sonkar, Sharad Kumar; Singh, RupinderThe aim of this paper is to conduct a bibliometric study to investigate the research output of library and information science in India.

Materials and methods. Male youth national-level boxers (n=7) were assessed for peak electromyography (EMG) of anterior deltoid (AD), biceps brachii (BB), triceps brachii (TB), flexor carpi radialis (FCR), and upper trapezius (UT) while performing four jab techniques: long-range targeting head (LRH), long-range targeting body (LRB), medium-range targeting head (MRH), and medium-range targeting body (MRB). Results. The LRH induced the highest EMG for AD (2092.9�411.9) and BB (1392.0�687.3). The MRB induced the highest EMG for the FCR (1337.16�538.28), TB (1589.3�600.3), and UT (1221.2�507.5). However, between jab techniques, only the AD showed a significant (p<0.001) different EMG. Specifically, the LRH induced greater AD EMG compared to LRB (157.5 [p<0.001]), MRH (411.0 [p=0.003]), and MRB (398.3 [p=0.010]). Further, the LRB induced greater AD EMG compared to MRH (253.5 [p=0.024]) and MRB (240.8 [p=0.049]). The MRH and MRB (-12.7 [p=0.911]) induced similar AD EMG. Conclusions. Peak EMG at five upper-body muscles varies between jab techniques. However, the differences seem relatively small, except for the AD muscle, with a descending pattern of peak EMG for the LRH > LRB > MRH and MRB jab techniques. � Kumar, S., Ramirez-Campillo, R., Singh, J., Kumar, S., & Gogoi, H., 2022.Item Analysis of Subsurface Soil Radon with the Environmental Parameters and Its Relation with Seismic Events(Springer, 2023-06-26T00:00:00) Jaishi, Hari Prasad; Singh, Sanjay; Tiwari, Raghavendra Prasad; Tiwari, Ramesh ChandraThis study reports continuous measurements of subsurface soil radon as well as environmental parameters for a period of three years. The survey was carried out along the active fault area in the Indo-Myanmar subduction zone in the north-eastern part which lies in the highest seismic zone of India. The wavelet-based decomposition of the environmental parameters was done using discrete wavelet transformation technique. The denoised environmental parameters by discrete wavelet transformation technique was fed as the inputs to the MLR (multiple linear regression) and MLP (multilayer perceptron) models. Residual radon was calculated and correlated with nearby seismic events. Many events of magnitude greater than or equal to 5 have occurred in the investigation area. It was possible to successfully correlate one event with the anomalous variation in soil radon. The correlated event was the only one with the shallow epicentral depth indicating that the investigated area has undergone a shallow rock fracturing due to the stress generated before the occurrence of the seismic event. � 2023, Geological Society of India, Bengaluru, India.Item Chemical characterization, phytotoxic, and cytotoxic activities of essential oil of Mentha longifolia(Springer, 2020) Singh, N; Singh, H.P; Batish, D.R; Kohli, R.K; Yadav, S.S.The present study assessed the phytotoxic and cytotoxic potential of the essential oil (EO) extracted from aboveground parts of Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed 39 compounds constituting 99.67% of the EO. The EO was rich in monoterpenoids (mostly oxygenated monoterpenes), which accounted for 89.28% of the oil. The major components in EO were monoterpene ketones such as piperitone oxide (53.83%) and piperitenone oxide (11.52%), followed by thymol (5.80%), and (E)-caryophyllene (4.88%). The phytotoxic activities of EO were estimated against Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa crus-galli, and Oryza sativa (rice) through pre- and post-emergence assays at concentrations ranging from 10 to 250 μg/ml and 0.5–5%, respectively. In pre-emergence assay, the phytotoxic effect of EO was most pronounced on C. rotundus, thereby significantly affecting percent germination, plantlet growth, and chlorophyll content. On the contrary, the impact was comparatively lesser on rice, with ~ 40% germination in response to 250 μg/ml of EO treatment. In the post-emergence assay, the spray treatment of EO caused a loss of chlorophyll and wilting in test plants, and subsequently affected the growth of plants, even leading to death in some cases. The cytotoxic activity of (at 2.5–50 μg/ml) was studied in meristem cells in onion (Allium cepa L.) root tips. EO exposure to the onion roots induced various chromosomal aberrations such as chromosomal bridges, c-mitosis, stickiness, vagrant chromosomes, etc., and negatively affected the mitotic index. At 50 μg/ml, EO treatment triggered the complete death of roots. The study concludes that M. longifolia EO has phytotoxic activities due to the mito-depressive effect, along with other physiological effects on target plants. Therefore, EO of M. longifolia could be developed into a novel bioherbicide for sustainable management of weeds in agricultural systems. - 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Item Suggestions for a national framework for publication of and access to literature in science and technology in India(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2020) Chakraborty, S; Gowrishankar, J; Joshi, A; Kannan, P; Kohli ,R.K; Lakhotia, S.C; Misra, G; Nautiyal, C.M; Ramasubramanian, K; Sathyamurthy, N; Singhvi, A.K.[No abstract available]Item Evaluating the role of phenology in managing urban invasions: A case study of Broussonetia papyrifera(Elsevier GmbH, 2020) Maan I.; Kaur A.; Singh H.P.; Batish D.R.; Kohli R.K.Multidisciplinary approaches are required for the management of invasive woody species in urban areas. In this context, phenological studies are a useful tool to understand tree development and devise suitable management strategies under urban forestry conditions. The significant role of phenology in attributing competitive advantages to invasive alien species has also been long recognized by community ecologists. Therefore, phenological calendars of invasive species may help in their detection, management and mitigation. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the invasive potential of an emerging invasive tree of urban landscapes, Broussonetia papyrifera (paper mulberry; Moraceae), through its phenological assessment by using a standardized numerical scale, BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt, CHemische Industrie). The tree is native to southeastern and eastern Asia and the Pacific Islands, and is rapidly spreading across various tropical and subtropical regions. The phenology of B. papyrifera was described in eight principal growth stages (PGSs) with two developmental cycles in a year, presented as primary (January-June) and secondary (June-November) flushes. The observations were further supported by the corresponding dates, photographs, meteorological data (air temperature, precipitation, and photoperiod), and climatic water balance of the study area. Results suggest that the occurrence of two developmental cycles, a prolonged reproductive period, strategy to attract frugivores with brightly colored pulpy fruits, and ability to survive under a wide temperature range help in the spread of B. papyrifera. The phenological scale provided in this study describes accurate and precise developmental stages of the tree that can be used to devise efficient management strategies for its control in urban areas. The information can also be exploited for assessing the climatic conditions required for its prevalence, predicting its future geographic range, and further research.Item Comparative cyto- and genotoxicity of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz electromagnetic field radiations in root meristems of Allium cepa(Academic Press, 2020) Kumar A.; Kaur S.; Chandel S.; Singh H.P.; Batish D.R.; Kohli R.K.In the last few decades, tremendous increase in the use of wireless electronic gadgets, particularly the cell phones, has significantly enhanced the levels of electromagnetic field radiations (EMF-r) in the environment. Therefore, it is pertinent to study the effect of these radiations on biological systems including plants. We investigated comparative cytotoxic and DNA damaging effects of 900 and 1800 MHz EMF-r in Allium cepa (onion) root meristematic cells in terms of mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay). Onion bulbs were subjected to 900 and 1800 MHz (at power densities 261 ± 8.50 mW m?2 and 332 ± 10.36 mW m?2, respectively) of EMF-r for 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h. Root length declined by 13.2% and 12.3%, whereas root thickness was increased by 46.7% and 48.3% after 4 h exposure to 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, respectively. Cytogenetic studies exhibited clastogenic effect of EMF-r as depicted by increased CAs and MI. MI increased by 36% and 53% after 2 and 4 h exposure to 900 MHz EMF-r, whereas it increased by 41% and 67% in response to 1800 MHz EMF-r. Aberration index was increased by 41%–266% and 14%–257% during 0.5–4 h of exposure to 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, respectively, over the control. EMF-r exposure decreased % head DNA (DNAH) and increased % tail DNA (DNAT) and olive tail moment (OTM) at both 900 and 1800 EMF-r. In 4 h exposure treatments, head DNA (%) declined by 19% and 23% at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, respectively. DNAT and OTM were increased by 2.3 and 3.7 fold upon exposure to 900 MHz EMF-r over that in the control, whereas 2.8 and 5.8 fold increase was observed in response to 1800 MHz EMF-r exposure for 4 h and the difference was statistically significant. The study concludes that EMF-r in the communication range (900 and 1800 MHz) adversely affect root meristems in plants and induce cytotoxic and DNA damage. EMF-r induced DNA damage was more pronounced at 1800 MHz than that at 900 MHz.
