This paper attempts to analyse the convergence roles of librarian and digital asset management in the contemporary information environment. The key components of Digital Asset Management have been defined by van Niekerk, one of the key commentators on the subject, as all of those tasks needed to allow the ingest, annotation, cataloguing, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets. This...
Despite efforts of the past three decades, participation of under represented minority groups is still an issue in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In this context, a program between the Community College of Philadelphia and Drexel University to provide research experience to minority students was implemented based on the hypothesis that learning about science and...
As emerging technologies appear on the horizon of education every day, they are changing the world of teaching and research continuously with their adoption and integration into libraries, classrooms and research labs. Most of us are familiar with the libraries inside a lab, but hosting a lab inside a library holds tremendous potential for research and instruction. In this paper, we will feature a...
The information revolution particularly e-resources has changed the shape of libraries and role of librarians. The present study has been undertaken to compare the level of awareness and utilization of electronic journals (e-journals) among faculty members and research scholars (RS) of Banasthali University (BU), Rajasthan, India Further, the data is collected through a structured questionnaire distributed...
With the advent of Internet and new technologies variety of information sources are coming up. The thirst of information in R&D activities has become ever growing and ever demanding. The information is becoming more digital and people are getting easy access to abundant information which leads to the temptation of using and copying it and stealing other ideas without knowing the implications and...
The author played a role of the leader in a research project by the National Diet Library of Japan in 2012/2013, whose title is "Issues and Perspectives on Reference Services in Libraries of Japan." In that paper, he discussed the characteristics and "emerging trends" of reference services in the current context of public, academic, special, and national libraries, using the results...
This present study has been conceived to study the status of usage of E-Resources available under INDEST-AICTE Consortium by the Library Users of NIT, Silchar.

Distributed computing is a new paradigm in the field of resource sharing. Distributed computing seems as more promising in terms of request failure, security, flexibility and resource availability. It's main feature is to maintain the Quality of Service (QoS) provided to the end user in term of request processing power, request failure rate and many more. So resource management is important and maintaining...
Many researches have been addressed on design approach for speech enhancement. They are mainly focus on speech quality and intelligibility to produce high performance level of speech signal. Wiener filter is one of the adaptive filter algorithms to adjust filter coefficients and produce an output signal that satisfies some statistical criterion. The objective measures will optimize using informal...
In this paper, a new index is defined for the characterization of the vascular response to a predefined stimulus using the finger photoplethysmogram (PPG) as input. To this end, two different wavelengths (red and infrared) were employed. To show the feasibility of this concept, PPG signals were acquired from two subjects: a healthy and a diabetic with obesity. A normalization procedure was implemented...
Human Gait Recognition is typically alluded to imply the human ID by the style/way individuals stroll in picture sequences. Our point is to execute the customary gait recognition calculation and to demonstrate the variety in recognition when subject is watched parallel to camera under three conditions-walking slow, at typical speed and walking quickly. For this situation, the work devises a novel...

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation feedback systems can help rescuers to achieve optimal chest compression rates. In this paper we describe and compare two methods to provide chest compression rate feedback based only on the thoracic impedance signal, available in automatic external defibrillators. The first method (time domain) identified the relative maxima of the impedance and characterized each...
