Invasive species are regarded as one of the largest threats to biodiversity but little is known about the invasion of exotic plants into the tropical forest. The per cent grass availability in gaur (Bos gaurus H. Smith, 1827) foraging areas in three different habitats namely dry deciduous forest, moist deciduous forest and thorn forest in relation to weed category areas viz., Lantana camara invasion areas, Chromolaena odorata invasion areas, 'both weeds invasion' and 'weed-free' areas were investigated in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve between November 2003 and April 2004. The overall mean per cent grass availability was 28.52±26.81/m2 (n=7343). The overall mean density of L. camara and C. odorata were 2.2±5.75/50m2 (n=8090) and 10.7±14.6/50m2 (n=8090) respectively. Among the habitats, the dry deciduous forest had maximum availability of grass (%) followed by thorn forest and moist deciduous forest. The per cent availability of grass was highest in the weed free areas of dry deciduous forest (54.0227.28%) and lowest in L. camara areas of thorn forest (14.52±14.45%). In all the habitats there was a significant variation among the weed category areas with reference to the per cent availability of grass. The densities of L. camara and C. odorata negatively influenced the per cent grass availability. The Standardized Partial Regression Coefficients of multiple regression equation model indicated that the C. odorata had the primary influence on the grass growth followed by L. camara.Keywords

The present study examines the growth and development of publication out put in the field of "Cloud Computing". Cloud Computing is an emerging technology which provides a lot of benefits to research and development activities especially in the field of Library and Information Science. In order to carry out the research, the related data were extracted from "Web of Science" database. The major objective of the study is to find out the number of publications related to "Cloud Computing" which are indexed in "Web of Science" during 2001-2010 only. The Scientometric analysis was applied to investigate and fulfill the objectives. It is found that 510 records related to Cloud Computing in "Web of Science' were appeared during the periods. It is found that the author "Buyya.R" and the country "USA" have produced the majority of records. Further, the study is also recommended that the teachers, research scholars, scientists should involve in the research activities related to "Cloud Computing" to increase the productivity of literature on "Cloud Computing".Keywords

Background/Objectives: The steel-concrete composite construction has become an effective construction practice in the recent years. The cold form profiled sheet acts a platform for during the construction phase and acts as an external reinforcement after the construction. In steel-concrete composite construction, the shear connectors transfer the longitudinal shear force across the steel flange/concrete interface. The ability to transfer longitudinal shear force by shear connectors mainly depends on the strength of concrete against longitudinal cracking and mechanical properties of the shear connectors. This research investigates shear connector's capacity; the experimental investigation is involved using push-out test for two sets with different shear connectors framing to the profile steel sheet. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Set-W consists of three composite slab specimens with welded stud shear connectors, while set-B consists of three composite slab specimens with bolted shear connectors. Trapezoidal profile steel sheet of thickness 1 mm with rectangular embossments is used. Several key parameters of the composite slab are examined and measured, including slippage capacity, load carrying capacity, composite slab ductility and failure mechanism. Findings: the welded shear connectors provided a better performance in resisting slippage and providing a welded set higher load carrying capacity, however, the bolted shear connector specimens set showed more ductile behavior as compared to of specimens.Keywords

The publication output from Indian institutions has been steadily increasing during the last few years. This may be attributed to the higher investment in research and also linking the number of publications with career advancement. There is a need to analyse the publication output of Indian institutions in terms of quality of publications. In this study, output in the top 10 percentile, as computed by SciVal (a product of Elsevier), has been used as an indicator of the quality of research output, since it reflects the percentage of an institution’s publication in the top 10 percentile of the most cited articles. Out of the 15 subject areas listed in SciVal, 7 contribute to more than 65% of publications from Indian institutions. Accordingly, Indian institutions with output in the top 10 percentile greater than the national average in these 7 major subject areas have been identified to compare their research output in terms of quality.Keywords
