The Report aptly reflects the sustained pace of growth and development of the University during this year. The year also witnessed several international and national workshops, conferences and seminars where speakers from different parts of the world presented their findings. The student strength in various disciplines this year (2010-11) stood at 4746, out of which over 43.91% are research scholars pursuing Ph.D. and M. Phil. / M. Tech. programmes. Women students constitute 32.89% of the total strength. 31.57% of the students are from reserved (SC/ST/PH) categories. Besides, more than 1511 students were enrolled in 14 P.G. Diploma courses. At the University of Hyderabad, all eligible students in various disciplines and who were not getting any fellowship from any other source were provided with fellowship & contingency grant while the class topper receives the University Achievers’ Award. The Study in India Programme (SIP) of the University aims at providing an opportunity for foreign students to experience and study not only the various aspects of Indian society, history and culture but also sciences and information technology and in the process creates an international environment on the University campus. The Programme emphasizes heritage, continuity and change in India. Under the SIP, a number of interdisciplinary courses were offered to participants from North American and European universities. The University of Hyderabad can rightly boast of a highly qualified and internationally renowned faculty. Our faculty, numbering 399, produced over1168 research publications including 66 books during the year. They also contributed to the award of 113 Ph.D., 174 M.Phil. 113 M. Tech. and 653 postgraduate degrees. The faculty earned research funding for the individual research projects numbering 440 with a total outlay of over rupees 112.65 crores from various national and international agencies. These projects supported 318 research scholars. Several consultancy and industry sponsored projects were also undertaken through MoUs. Over the year our faculty members have been honoured with several national and international fellowships and awards of leading academies in India and abroad like the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), ACLS, Montserrat, Homi Bhabha, vii Swarna Jayanti and Sophios Fellowships. These include the Alexander von Humboldt Research Prize, Fellowship of Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc), Indian National Science Academy (FNA), National Academy of Sciences (FNASc), Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) Award, C.L. Chandna Award of the Indo-Canadian Math. Foundation, INSA Young Scientist Award, Thomson Scientific Award, Ramon Magsaysay Award, Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, Third World Academy of Sciences Award, the Einstein Medal, German Academic Exchange Fellowship, Japan Science and Technology Fellowship, DAAD (Germany) Fellowship, Albert Shankar International Award, Birla Science Award, SS Bhatnagar Award, Sahitya Academy Award, J.C. Bose Award, Hamsa Award. In addition, the faculty visited several reputed institutes in India and abroad as Visiting Professors and were nominated for memberships of editorial boards of several reputed international journals. Also, the faculty participated actively in the working of organizations like CSIR, UGC, DST, DAE, DBT, ICMR, NBHM, ICHR, ICPR and ICSSR in various capacities throughout the year as expert members. Established in 1974 by an Act of Parliament, the University of Hyderabad, once widely considered only as a research University and barely known outside about its sphere of operations, has today emerged as one of the top ranking Institutions of higher learning in the country. Receiving the PURSE Award from the Prime Minister of India for being No. 2 in the country two years ago preceded by a string of other distinctions: ‘A’ Grade by NAAC with a CGPA equivalent of 97%, the highest ever score for any institution in the country; SCOPUS ranking of No. 1 in terms of research publications; and the Quacquarelli Symonds (QNS) 2010 ranking of top 200 Asian Universities are all indicators of the new growth trajectory of the University of Hyderabad. The Sarojini Naidu School of Arts & Communication and the Centre for Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies (CALTS) have been designated as "Centres of Excellence" by a study commissioned by the Research Councils UK (RCUK). The Centre for the Study of Indian Diaspora has also been highlighted under the Potential for Excellence.

  • Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian
    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm. Tal literally means "clap".

  • Chapter 6 Instruments, Melodic and Rhythmic ______(1) 7-12, C/U Pages 65 the Indian Violin
    Chapter 6 Instruments, Melodic and Rhythmic ______________________________________________________________________ (1) 7-12, C/U Pages 65 The Indian Violin As have those in other nations and cultures, Indians have imported the violin from Europe and have used it with those instruments that are indigenous to the region. Explore with students the acculturation process by which the violin has become integral to Indian musical traditions, listening, observing, and discussing the distinctive manner in which Indians have fashioned (1) its tuning (a-d-a-d), (2) its playing position (at an oblique angle from under the chin to where the scroll rests on the foot), and (3) its timbre (played with a straight, non-vibrato tone). Invite students to play with these possibilities. Look to other journeys the violin has made--to Turkey, Indonesia, Mexico, eastern Canada, the Apache nation, and Bolivia, by searching keywords like "violin", "fiddle" and "lute, bowed", and compare the violin on the three facets which Indians have shaped to their liking and use. _____________________________________________________________________ (2) 7-12, C/U Pages 65-66 Instrumental Influences Challenge students to search for examples of Indian instruments in the musical styles of neighboring countries. What instruments exist in Burma, China, Iraq, Iran, and Nepal that resemble the Indian sāntur (hammered dulcimer), sitār, and tablā? (For illustrations of instruments, see Ruth Midgley et. al., editors, 1997, Musical Instruments of the World, New York: Sterling Publishers). ____________________________________________________________________ (3) AA Pages 66-68 The Drone Have students explore the function of the tānpura in providing a drone to create a fixed tonal center for a melodic performance by a singer or instrumentalist.

  • Knockout Rat Models Mimicking Human Atherosclerosis Created By
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Knockout rat models mimicking human atherosclerosis created by Cpf1-mediated gene targeting Received: 23 September 2018 Jong Geol Lee1,2,3, Chang Hoon Ha2,4, Bohyun Yoon2, Seung-A. Cheong1, Globinna Kim1,2,4, Accepted: 8 January 2019 Doo Jae Lee2, Dong-Cheol Woo1,2,4, Young-Hak Kim5, Sang-Yoon Nam3, Sang-wook Lee1,6, Published: xx xx xxxx Young Hoon Sung1,2,4 & In-Jeoung Baek1,2,4 The rat is a time-honored traditional experimental model animal, but its use is limited due to the difculty of genetic modifcation. Although engineered endonucleases enable us to manipulate the rat genome, it is not known whether the newly identifed endonuclease Cpf1 system is applicable to rats. Here we report the frst application of CRISPR-Cpf1 in rats and investigate whether Apoe knockout rat can be used as an atherosclerosis model. We generated Apoe- and/or Ldlr-defcient rats via CRISPR-Cpf1 system, characterized by high efciency, successful germline transmission, multiple gene targeting capacity, and minimal of-target efect. The resulting Apoe knockout rats displayed hyperlipidemia and aortic lesions. In partially ligated carotid arteries of rats and mice fed with high-fat diet, in contrast to Apoe knockout mice showing atherosclerotic lesions, Apoe knockout rats showed only adventitial immune infltrates comprising T lymphocytes and mainly macrophages with no plaque. In addition, adventitial macrophage progenitor cells (AMPCs) were more abundant in Apoe knockout rats than in mice. Our data suggest that the Cpf1 system can target single or multiple genes efciently and specifcally in rats with genetic heritability and that Apoe knockout rats may help understand initial- stage atherosclerosis.
