The UGC-CARE Initiative and Its Impact on Indian Research Productivity: A Bibliometric Analysis of Web of Science Publications
Abstract: This bibliometric study evaluates the impact of the UGC CARE initiative on Indian research output in Web of Science (WoS) indexed journals, comparing the pre UGC CARE (2000-2018) and post UGCCARE (2019-2024) periods. The analysis reveals a threefold increase in annual publications, from 42,406 to 139,355, alongside shifts in institutional contributions, subject trends, and journal preferences. Engineering overtook Chemistry as the dominant field, and open access adoption rose to 36.60%. …

A Review of Biofilm: Mechanism of Dispersal and Eradication Strategies for Medical Devices
Abstract: Biofilm is formed by the adhesion of different microorganisms with each other and to the surface forming a matrix-like structure. Biofilm on medical devices forms over a period which causes severe infections and is harmful to immune-suppressed patients. Therefore, removal from the medical devices is required to get rid of it. These biofilms can be removed by various methods such as scrubbing or high-pressure spraying, steam removal, and usage of …

Hybrid Machine Learning and Finite Element Framework for Predicting Damage Behavior in Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have broad spread use in aerospace, automotive, marine and structural applications due to its high specific strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance. The various damage mechanisms such as matrix cracking, fiber breakage, delamination and interfacial failure, however, make the forecasting of damage particularly complex. In this work, a hybrid machine learning (ML) and finite element (FE) system is proposed for predicting the damage behavior of FRP …

Performance-Based Fire Safety Assessment and Optimization of a Mixed-Use High-Rise Building Using NBC 2016, Hydraulic Adequacy, and Evacuation Time Analysis
Abstract: This paper presents a performance-based fire safety assessment of a simulated 92 m mixed-use high-rise building containing parking, commercial, office, and residential occupancies. Rather than relying only on prescriptive compliance, the study evaluates whether the installed fire protection strategy can maintain tenable conditions and deliver adequate suppression performance during a credible design fire. Using the base data supplied for the Metro Central Tower case, the work determines fire load density, …

Formulation and Evaluation of Luliconazole Loaded Microemulgel
Abstract: The aim of present study is to formulate and evaluate Luliconazole Microemulgel. Microemulgel is combination of microemulsion and gel. The problem associated with delivery of hydrophobic drug can be solved by incorporating drug in microemulsion and then microemulsion is combined with gel to form microemulgel. Solubility of Luliconazole is determined and it was found to be soluble in ethanol, methanol, chloroform, while it was insoluble in water. The melting point …

An Aggregate-Breakage Percolation Model and ANN-Based Internal Validation for Curvature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity of MWCNT/TPU Nanocomposites
Abstract: Strain-dependent percolation models are mostly built and tested for uniaxial tension, yet many flexible sensors and stretchable devices work mainly in bending, where the outer fibre is stretched, the inner fibre is compressed and the strain changes with thickness. This study extends an aggregate-breakage percolation model, originally formulated for uniaxial strain, to through-thickness bending of a multi-walled carbon nanotube/thermoplastic polyurethane (MWCNT/TPU) nanocomposite. The local strain is taken as ε(y) = …
