Present study aims to determine the use and awareness of e-journals among teachers and research scholars of University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET). Study also targets to define the purpose of e-journals' use, access place, preferred format and frequency to use. Data was collected from 60 users of different departments of UIET. Study indicates that majority of the respondents use e-journals for their research assignments. Majority of respondents retrieve e-resources mainly through simple search techniques and methods such as key word, author and title. Keyword: E-journals, Awareness, Faculty Members, Research scholar, UIET, Introduction In the present scenario influence of the internet and related technology has brought a great transformation in the library services especially in retrieval of information resources. The electronic resources [...]

A new series of diisopropyloxytin- and triorganotin(IV) complexes of H2hbgl (1) of the general formula Sn(OPri)2(hbgl) (2), Sn(OPri)2(Hhbgl)2 (3), Ph3Sn(Hhbgl) (4), Bu3Sn(Hhbgl) (5) and Me3Sn(Hhbgl) (6), [where H2hbgl= a ligand of thymol derivative namely, N-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl benzyl)Glycine] were synthesized by reacting tin- and triorganotin(IV) chloride with the ligand, with the aid of sodium iso-propoxide in appropriate stiochiometric ratios (1:1 and 1:2). These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. The spectral data suggest that the carboxylate group, in complexes 2-5, was bonded in a bidentate manner, while a unidentate bonding was observed in complex 6. All five complexes were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria namely, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, Bacillus subtilis MTCC 121 and two Gram-negative bacteria namely, Escherichia coli MTCC 1652 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741. All the five complexes were also tested against three pathogenic fungal strains namely, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus and Penicillium sp.

Twelve cultivars of potatoes were used for open‐ended question (OEQ) method investigation. OEQs' were examined for answer box number effect, questioning type, and compared to check‐all‐that‐apply (CATA) in the difficulty of information generation for sensory profile development. Up to four small list‐style answer boxes were recommended for OEQ information collection irrespective of questioning type. A focused questioning technique on specific modalities was found to generate information that is more actionable over‐generalized questioning. The frequency of abstract words was lowest in texture focused open‐ended questioning, followed by aroma or flavor. Overall, OEQ's generated rich information but were difficult to accomplish (more cognitively challenging to respond than CATA, potential ambiguous interpretation of certain terms and dimensionality reduction through data analysis). Irrespective of method type, some cultivars of potato (CO99076‐6R, Purple Majesty, AC99330‐1PY, and Rio Colorado) were found to have similar textures whereas Purple Majesty and Masquerade were similar in flavor. Purple Majesty, Masquerade, CO99076‐6R, and AC99330‐1PY were liked for their texture. Masquerade cultivar was highly liked for aroma, flavor, and texture over others. Practical applications: The findings of this study are helpful to understand the type of information open‐ended questions generate and how effectively they can be used to generate terminology in the context of food‐related studies. Open‐ended questions were tested for questioning effect, information type, diversity of responses, and difficulty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
