Monthly Coverage Dossier January 2019 Monthly Coverage Dossier January 2019 Prepared by IIT Madras is a campus of choice for high ranking JEE students Date: 11th January 2019 Publication: The Indian express Edition: Online Journalist: NA Student: Niranjana Prasad Moleyar Headline: CAT 2018 topper aspires to be like Mukesh Ambani URL: https://indianexpress.com/article/education/cat-2018-topper-from-udupi-wants- to-be-next-ambani-5532445/ CAT 2018 topper aspires to be like Mukesh Ambani Karnataka-born Niranjana Prasad Moleyar has scored 100 percentile in Common Admission Test 2018 in his first attempt itself. 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. “The CAT dates coincided with my college tests so I prepared for it well in advance and then revised it a week before the exam. In the last 2-3 days before the entrance exam, I practised previous year papers,” he said. The Udupi-born enjoys playing chess and solving puzzles during free time. “After appearing for competitive exams like JEE, I have realised the core of every test is time management and subject knowledge. I had a hang of the subject knowledge as I opted for finance and economics classes during my course, I worked on time management skills,” he said. “I started by identifying my weak areas. Instead of blindly solving the questions one needs to see how different is the approach taken by others, it would enhance your subject knowledge and also feel rewarding,” suggests Moleyar. In his case, told Moleyar, re-touching base with calculations for the data interpretation section was the tough part. The avid reader and thriller novel enthusiast found verbal abilities and logical reasoning to be his strong points. “Our school encouraged reading which inculcated the habit of reading books in me since childhood. Because of it, I have always been good at verbal abilities and logical reasoning. I had to practice to gain speed in the quantitative ability section. I found it to be relatively difficult than other sections and wished to have been faster in solving it,” he said.

  • 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.

Nucleolin (NCL) protein which is differentially expressed on the tumor cell surface, binds ligands and regulates carcinogenesis and angiogenesis. We found that NCL is over expressed in RB tumor tissues and cell lines compared to normal retina. We studied the effect of nucleolin-aptamer (NCL-APT) to reduce proliferation in RB tumor cells. Aptamer treatment on the RB cell lines (Y79 and WERI-Rb1) led to significant inhibition of cell proliferation. Locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified NCL-APT administered subcutaneously (s.c.) near tumor or intraperitoneally (i.p.) in Y79 xenografted nude mice resulted in 26 and 65% of tumor growth inhibition, respectively.
