ANIL KAKODKAR DIRECTOR. 8HABHA ATOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE & MEMBER ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION GOVERNMENT OF INDIA TROM8AY. MUMBAI - 400 085 INDIA April 21, 1999 FOREWORD •The R&D work being pursued in BARC covers a wide range of subjects in physical sciences, chemical sciences, life sciences and many disciplines of engineering. A significant part of the effort is dedicated to basic research. Reports on the outcome of basic research are often published in scientific journals, or as technical reports. A part of the applied research also leads to journal articles and technical reports, but considerable part of the work in the field of applied research, especially those which have a direct bearing on the design, development and operation of nuclear power reactors, nuclear fuel cycle facilities and isotope programmes, result in technical notes specifically addressed to the agencies concerned. Many Divisions of BARC publish periodic progress reports. However, frequency of their publication varies. It was felt that bringing out a publication every year with a brief description of the major achievements of the various Divisions along with a list of their publications, will be useful in bringing about wider awareness of the broad spectrum of activities being carried out in BARC, and the results of the R&D work being done, to other scientific and industrial organisations in India and abroad. This compilation has been brought out with that objective. Detailed information on any of the topics listed can be obtained from the Head of the Division concerned. Often published documents, either in the form of journal articles or technical reports, giving the relevant details are readily available.

ACCELERATORS: 1.1 Industrial Electron Accelerator 500 keV The 500 keV, 20 m A Cock croft Walton DC Accelerator was commissioned at 200 keV and a few microamperes of beam current. This Electron Beam Accelerator at BRIT, Vashi Complex, Navi Mumbai was remotely commissioned for its first phase of operation by the honorable Prime Minister of India from BARC, Trombay on 10th August, 1998. All the major and auxiliary systems performed as per design specifications. Subsequently the electron gun of the accelerator was disconnected and performance of the high voltage column using nitrogen gas at six atmospheres was tested to its full design ratings of 500 kV and found to be very satisfactory. Performance of the high power oscillator has been tested to give an output power of 2.8 kW using a dummy load which simulates the conditions of the high voltage column. Further performance tests for commissioning die accelerator at its full power are in progress. 1.2 Electron Beam Centre Substantial progress has taken place in the planning of the infrastructural facilities for the Electron Beam Centre (EBC) being set-up at the Kharghar site at Navi Mumbai. CIDCO and MSEB have been approached for obtaining the general clearance for setting up of the site office and starting the construction of the building. The architectural drawings for the site which include the EBC, with its 3 MeV & 10 MeV accelerators, Sameer Labs and residential quarters are nearing completion. The inputs required for the preparation of structural drawings are given to the Civil Engineering Division. 1.3 Industrial Electron Accelerator 3 MeV Many meetings of the working groups were held to discuss about the salient technical and implementation aspects of die 3 MeV accelerator. The design and fabrication drawings are being finalised for the various sub-systems of the acceleator like : (a) High Power Oscillator, (b) High Voltage Column, (c) Beam Generation and Transport, (d) Beam Extraction, (e) Accelerator Tank and Support Structure, (Q UHV System, (g) SF6 gas handling system and LCW Plant, (h) radiation shielding, (j) Ozone Extraction and (k) product conveyor. Procurement of some of the items like metal ceramic accelerating tubes, gas handling plant, HV column components and control system components has been completed. Although the building at Kharghar will be ready by 2000 December, the assembly, initial testing of the sub-systems and debugging will be carried out at Hall No. 4 at BARC,

We investigated the anti-hyphal activities of combination of FLU/CLT against C. albicans using XTT and crystal violet assays as well as scanning electron microscopy and expression of HWP1 gene. Results: The interaction of C. albicans with FLU/CLT resulted in synergistic, partial synergistic and indifferent effects. The interaction of FLU/CLT were confirmed by time-killing curves. FLU/CLT combined resulted in the reduction of metabolic activity and hyphae formation in C. albicans. Images taken by scanning electron microscopy indicated the effectiveness on hyphae disruption.

These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.
