The Institute was conferred the “The Deemed University” status by Government of India in the year 2000. The Institute thus became empowered to have a perpetual seal to award degree subsequent to the conduct of its own examinations. IIIT‐A has been conceived with the ambitious objectives of developing professional expertise and skilled manpower in Information Technology (IT) and related areas. This has enabled the country to exploit efficiently emerging opportunities to meet economic challenges being thrown up by the rapid global IT revolution that has influenced virtually every area of development and social activity. As an apex nucleating institute in the area of IT, the establishment of IIIT‐A, is a major step of Govt. of India towards strengthening the indigenous capability necessary for exploiting profitability and harnessing multi‐ dimensional facets of IT at all levels, and attaining expertise to enable the country to emerge as a leading player in the global arena. Indian Institute of Information Technology rank as one of the top‐ranking institutes of IT and software sciences in the world. It was established by Govt. of India with the concerted aim to make India a superpower by harnessing the fullest benefits of IT revolution in all its manifestations and to reach the benefits thereof to the Rural India where Real India lives. With its concerted view to promote high‐end researches and sharing the global concern to arrest the regressive trends in the studies of general sciences, IIIT‐A took a lead in hosting Science Conclave a congregations of Noble Laureate for promoting the pursuit towards education in science and Technology. Academics @IIITA The Institute conducts UG courses in B.Tech (IT) & B.Tech (EC), PG Courses in M.Tech. (Intelligent Systems, Software Engineering, Bioinformatics, Wireless Communication & Computing, Robotics, Human Computer Interaction, Microelectronics and Communication Engineering), Master of Business Administration [MBA (IT)] and Master of Science in Cyber Law & Information Security [MS (CLIS)]. Besides, the Doctoral Program in Information Technology and its allied areas. Bachelor of Technology: The B Tech (IT & ECE) courses are arguably one of the best in the country in the fields of information technology and electronics & communications engineering. Its greatest strength is its adaptability to the changing industry requirements. A student here does not only learning the newest technologies, but is also given ample industry exposure. Master of Technology: With M.Tech (BI, WCC, IS, HCI, Robotics, SE, CE & MI) ‐IIIT‐A has started a unique model of M.Tech education in the field of Information Technology and Electronics & Communication Engineering, with the objective of preparing quality professionals and researchers to work at high‐end technologies in IT and ECE, the Institute provides very specialized courses, such as specialization in Human Computer Interaction, Bio‐Informatics, Wireless Communication and Computing, Microelectronics, Communication Engineering, Robotics, Software Engineering and Intelligent Systems.

Mémoires sur l’action mutuelle de deux courans électri- ques, sur celle qui existe entre un courant électrique et un aimant ou le globe terres- tre, et celle de deux aimans l’un sur l’autre. [Paris: Feugeray, 1821]. $22,500 8vo (219 x 133mm), pp. [3], 4-112 with five folding engraved plates (a few faint scattered spots). Original pink wrappers, uncut (lacking backstrip, one cord partly broken with a few leaves just holding, slightly darkened, chip to corner of upper cov- er); modern cloth box. An untouched copy in its original state. First edition, probable first issue, extremely rare and inscribed by Ampère, of this continually evolving collection of important memoirs on electrodynamics by Ampère and others. “Ampère had originally intended the collection to contain all the articles published on his theory of electrodynamics since 1820, but as he pre- pared copy new articles on the subject continued to appear, so that the fascicles, which apparently began publication in 1821, were in a constant state of revision, with at least five versions of the collection appearing between 1821 and 1823 un- der different titles” (Norman). The collection begins with ‘Mémoires sur l’action mutuelle de deux courans électriques’, Ampère’s “first great memoir on electrody- namics” (DSB), representing his first response to the demonstration on 21 April 1820 by the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) that electric currents create magnetic fields; this had been reported by François Arago (1786- 1853) to an astonished Académie des Sciences on 4 September.

  • Characterization of the Nonlinear Light Emission by the Liquid Scintillator Used in the Daya Bay Experiment
    Diplomarbeit Characterization of the Nonlinear Light Emission by the Liquid Scintillator Used in the Daya Bay Experiment Ausgeführt an der Technischen Universität Wien unter Anleitung von Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Gerald Badurek in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory unter Anleitung von Prof. Herbert Steiner und Dr. Daniel Dwyer durch Christian Dorfer Patergassen 63 9564 Reichenau Ort, Datum Unterschrift Abstract This thesis has been prepared within the Daya Bay group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. It describes the measurement of the nonlinearity in light emission by a linear alkylbenze-based liquid scintillator in response to electrons with kinetic energies from ∼0.2 to ∼1.0 MeV. The electrons were generated inside the liquid scintillator volume via Compton scattering of 1.332 MeV gamma rays emitted by a 2.59 MBq 60Co radioactive source. A Compton spectrometer was designed and custom-built to scan over the full range of electron energies. Geant4-based simulations were used to optimize the spectrometer design and estimate systematic effects from energy loss and multiple scattering. The ratio of light emitted relative to the electron’s kinetic energy was found to be (17.59±1.24) % lower at 0.2 MeV compared to 1.0 MeV, demonstrating significant nonlinearity. This precision determination of scintillator nonlinearity will facilitate the improved measurement of reactor antineutrino oscillation by the Daya Bay experiment. Kurzfassung Diese Forschung für diese Arbeit wurde in der Daya Bay Gruppe des Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Kalifornien durchgeführt. Die Arbeit beschreibt die Messung der nichtlinearen Lichtemission von auf flüssigem Alkylbenzol-basierten Szintillator bei Anregung durch energetis- che Elektronen zwischen ∼0.2 und ∼1 MeV.

You did it. After years of study, volumes of projects and papers, dozens of tests and a once-in-a-century global pandemic, you have attained the honor of graduate of the University of Michigan College of Engineering. For some of you, this day was long anticipated. For others, challenges loomed at every turn. In any case, you would not be here had you not put in the work. You earned it. My sincere hope is that each of you will proudly embrace the resilience you have demonstrated. Think about how the world has changed in a year. One profound shift forced your greater awareness of the impact of separation and the transience of life. Recall your initial thoughts and your subsequent actions. Whatever it took, you endured, learned about yourself and adapted to your circumstances. You made it to graduation during one of the most challenging academic years in recent history. While pursuing your aim, in this implausible reality, you still found many ways to help others. You spoke out against systemic racism, sexism and other “isms” that deny our shared humanity. Young aspiring engineers felt inspired by your encouragement. Organizations discovered new possibilities through your insights.

The recent decision to set up a fourth publicly funded NTU is competing with the university to provide more university places for Singaporeans underscores the recognition that NTU needs to focus on becoming world’s best universities a leading research-intensive university. for faculty and students. Competition among universities is increasingly global. While top-tier US universities with unmatched financial resources are racing ahead to maintain their lead, European institutions especially in the UK are moving to close the gap with their American counterparts.
