Unlike many management aspirants, he prefers self-studies over coaching. Moleyar shares the first rank with 10 others engineering students and is the only one from Karnataka to secure 100 percentile score. Currently, he is pursuing B.Tech-M.Tech integrated course at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)- Madras. This 22-year-old finds inspiration in the work of business tycoon and chairman of RIL, Mukesh Ambani as he believes he has brought telecom revolution in India. “I want to pursue finance and do something which can disrupt the Indian economy for good just like Mukesh Ambani did with Jio. I want to see myself as a CFO of a company so that I can do something which can benefit Indians,” Moleyar told indianexpress.com. The CAT topper aspires to join the Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Ahmedabad because he believes that the institute has a case-study based curriculum which is unique. He has already received a call letter from IIM-Calcutta. He prepared for the Common Admission Test (CAT) only during December 2017 and January 2018 and secured a perfect score.

  • Facts and Achievements 2015 Preface
    Facts and Achievements 2015 Preface Masakazu Aono MANA Director-General NIMS The International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) was founded in 2007 as one of the first five centers under the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI Program) of Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). In all the way of this period, MANA has conducted its research on the basis of our own “nanoarchitectonics” concept. All the members of MANA including permanent scientists, postdoctoral researchers, technical and administrative staff and students are happy to see that MANA has become a really world-top-level research center in the field of material science and technology. In fact, until December 2015, MANA has published 3,316 papers in 422 different journals and 118 of them are now among the top 1% most cited papers in the world. Further, MANA has achieved an extremely high score of 2.42 for Elsevier’s Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI), a new index created to “fairly compare the quality of papers published by research institutions that work in different fields.” MANA’s papers are printed in journals with an extremely high average Impact Factor (IF) of 6.25 (2015). MANA’s scores for these indicators are superior to those of many world-class research institutions. The MANA Progress Report consists of two booklets named “Facts and Achievements 2015” and “Research Digest 2015.” This booklet “Facts and Achievements 2015” serves as a summary to highlight the progress of the MANA project. The other booklet “Research Digest 2015” presents MANA research activities.

  • Professor Subra Suresh Nanotechnology at the Intersections
    Professor Subra Suresh Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Nanotechnology at the intersections of biology and engineering This lecture will deal with select topics at the intersections of nanotechnology, engineering, biology and human health. For this purpose, molecular changes induced by external factors or biochemical processes occurring naturally in the human body will be considered with a variety of state-of-the-art experimental and computational tools. The alterations to nanoscale responses of the whole cell, cell membrane and cytoskeleton will be explored. Attention will be focused on examples derived from applications of nanotechnology tools to the study of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria, several types of hereditary hemolytic disorders, and metastatic invasion of tumor. Case studies of targeted gene inactivation methods to probe specific molecular effects at the intersections of nanotechnology, engineering, biology and human health will also be presented. Potential applications of these results for disease diagnostics, therapeutics and drug efficacy assays will also be explored. Brief CV Subra Suresh is the Dean of Engineering and Ford Professor of Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he holds joint faculty appointments in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biological Engineering, and Health Sciences and Technology. He is recognized for his contributions to the areas of materials science, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, and cell and molecular mechanics research in the context of human diseases. He has been elected to US Academy of Engineering, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Indian Academy of Sciences, Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences, German National Academy of Sciences, and Academy of Sciences of the Developing World based in Trieste, Italy.

  • Recent Advances on Reconstruction of Climate and Extreme Events in China for the Past 2000 Years
    J. Geogr. Sci. 2016, 26(7): 827-854 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-016-1301-4 © 2016 Science Press Springer-Verlag Recent advances on reconstruction of climate and extreme events in China for the past 2000 years GE Quansheng1, *ZHENG Jingyun1, HAO Zhixin1, LIU Yang1,2, LI Mingqi1 1. Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Re- sources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China; 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract: China is distinguished by a prominent monsoonal climate in the east of the country, a continental arid climate in the northwest and a highland cold climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of the long history of Chinese civilization, there are abundant and well-dated documentary records for climate variation over the whole of the country as well as many natural archives (e.g., tree-rings, ice cores, stalagmites, varved lake sediments and corals) that enable high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstruction. In this paper, we review re- cent advances in the reconstruction of climate and extreme events over the last 2000 years in China. In the last 10 years, many new reconstructions, based on multi-proxies with wide spa- tial coverage, have been published in China. These reconstructions enable us to understand the characteristics of climate change across the country as well as the uncertainties of re- gional reconstructions. Synthesized reconstructed temperature results show that warm in- tervals over the last 2000 years occurred in AD 1–200, AD 551–760, AD 951–1320, and after AD 1921, and also show that cold intervals were in AD 201–350, AD 441–530, AD 781–950, and AD 1321–1920.

  • Synchronous Drying and Cooling in Central Asia During Late Oligocene DONG Xinxin, DING Zhongli, YANG Shiling, LUO Pan, WANG Xu & JI Junliang
    COVER Water exchange through the sea-land interface is a major component of the hydrologic cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), comprises fresh inland groundwater and recycled seawater. SGD is an important pathway as surface runoff for material transport to the marine environment. Owing to the importance of SGD for the marine geochemical cycling of elements, coastal aquifer systems can be regarded as subterranean estuaries. The photo cover shows the interaction between groundwater and ocean associated with SGD within a typical subterranean estuary. The schematic diagram shows that SGD is driven by terrestrial hydraulic gradients, density difference between seawater and inland fresh groundwater, and any number of oceanic processes such as wave pumping, tidal pumping, and thermal gradients. SGD is widespread and, in some areas, of greater marine ecological significance than surface runoff. In particular, terrestrially recharged water (or fresh inland groundwater), which is a component of SGD, may seriously affect the coastal ecological environment. Thus, it is important to carefully consider groundwater issues such as groundwater contamination, circulation, evolution, overexploitation, and seawater intrusion (see the special topic: Groundwater).
