Declaration by the Head of the Institution 184 Executive Summary Coimbatore, the second largest industrial region in Tamil Nadu has a unique distinction of having the highest textile activity per square kilometer in the world and it is called Manchester of South India. The city today has evolved itself into diversified economy with Engineering, Auto Components, Pumps and Motors. In 1980‟s the city has meta- morphed into an Educational Hub with highest density of institutions i.e. 84 in 75 square kilometer which produce 50,000 graduates of various disciplines every year. The Bharathiar University, named after the great visionary and revolutionary national poet, Subramania Bharathi, was established in Coimbatore at the foothills of Maruthamalai in the Western Ghats by the Government of Tamil Nadu in February 1982, with jurisdiction over the districts of Coimbatore, Erode, Tirupur and Nilgiris. This University is the offspring of the world renowned University of Madras. Bharathiar University is Ranked Fifth Best State run Universities in India by The Sunday Indian (27.06.2011) Ranked as one of the top 50 Universities in India and placed at 32 and 33 in the surveys conducted by the popular English Magazines „India Today‟ and „The Week‟ in 2013 respectively In 2014, the University was ranked at 29th position by „India Today‟ (02.07.2014) Vision Our vision is to provide internationally comparable quality higher education to the youth. The aim is not only to focus on imparting subject knowledge and skills, but also to mould the students with better conduct and character committed to the societal needs and national development. Enshrined with the motto of poet Bharathi‟s words “Educate to Elevate”, the University strives to realize the vision of India and excel in promoting and protecting the rich heritage of our past and the secular ideals of the nation. Mission To be innovative, inclusive and international University; committed to excellence in teaching, research and knowledge transfer and to serve the social, cultural and economic needs of the nation. To innovate and offer educational programmes in various disciplines with synergistic interaction with the industry and society. To impart knowledge and skills to students, equipping them to be ready to face the emerging challenges of the knowledge era. To provide equal opportunity to women students and prepare them to be equal partners in meeting the scientific and technological demands of the nation. To contribute to the advancement of knowledge through applied research leading to newer products and processes. To prepare the students to work for societal transformation with commitment to justice and quality. Bharathiar University has been accredited with „A‟ grade in 2003 and reaccredited in the year 2010 with „A‟ grade by NAAC. Eight departments in the Faculty of Science are under the DST-FIST programme. Eight other departments are already operating UGC-SAP and all the departments in the faculty of sciences are assisted under DST-PURSE to the tune of nine Crores. One department has been identified by the Tamil Nadu State to create the high tech PG laboratory towards the Center for Excellence in Physics. The M.Sc. Medical Physics course has been conducted in the department of Medical Physics in collaboration with Kuppusamy Memorial Hospital and BARC, Mumbai. The University has also presented a proposal for UPE and awaiting results. The DRDO-BU-CLS was established as a joint venture by DRDO, Ministry of Defense, Government of India, Bharathiar University and the Government of Tamil Nadu at Bharathiar University campus as an autonomous research institute to pursue both basic and applied research. Under Phase-I, a budget of Rs.18.0 Crores and Under Phase-II, a budget of Rs. 24.0 Crores was allotted by DRDO. The centre has also added a transit cum hostel facility. Major thrust areas of research for the Phase-II programme are highly interdisciplinary and innovative. The Academic Staff College of Bharathiar University is ranked number one among the Academic Staff Colleges of Tamil Nadu and 12th among the Academic Staff Colleges in India by NAAC. The University offers 118 programmes to cater to the educational requirement of around 3,000 students on campus and 219 programmes under distance mode enrolling more than one lakh students and around two lakh students through affiliated colleges. On an average 450 Ph.D. degrees are produced annually. Bharathiar University is one of the pioneers to introduce Choice Based Credit System as early as in 2000-2001. Adhering the recommendation of TANSCHE, the credit structure has been modified to bring uniformity across all the affiliated and autonomous colleges. Each department offers minimum of four elective papers for the department students. A total of 94 supportive papers are offered by all the departments for the choice of students of other departments. The curriculum and the syllabi are updated with an emphasis in both fundamentals also well as application by having industrial experts from the national institutes and notable alumni in BoS as members. The feedback obtained from the students through the instrument prepared by IQAC is used appropriately in revamping the syllabi to make them more dynamic. Credit transfer is permitted between regular mode and distance mode. Teaching by industrial experts, training in industries through internships, summer placements, academy summer fellowships in which some of the research scholars visit abroad for three to six month fellowship to work for their Ph.D. programmes, major projects with real time application to cater to the local industrial needs and case studies are the experiential learning opportunities available on campus for students to become employment ready. All our academic efforts are complimented with finishing schools jointly organized with TCS, CTS, Infosys in sector specific, platform specific, tool specific and company specific areas of competence and with our MoU with National Skill Development Council. The University has 197 dedicated teachers on roll with vast experience in teaching and research, many of whom are internationally recognized and won awards and laurels. The state of the art facilities available for faculty members and scholars nurture a culture of research in cutting edge areas. A testimony to this is huge publication of faculty members with high impact factor and h-index. During the assessment period the member of faculty have completed – 109 major research projects by attracting funds worth of Rs. 1440 Lakhs. Currently 95 projects are on operation worth of Rs. 1550 Lakhs. The human, physical and IT infrastructure of the University has expanded manifold to meet the increasing demands of the academics and administrative demands. Buildings worth Rs. 5555 Lakhs are constructed during the assessment period. By being partner in MHRD supported National Knowledge Network, the University could access national and international resources and get the high speed network support of 1 Gbps. The library has a large collection of resources available through UGC – Infonet, and Inflibnet. To support students for higher learning and career goals, learning outside the class room, beyond the scope of the syllabus is emphasized.

Rahman releases a recording of the world premiere of The Flying Lotus on October 6, 2017. Commissioned by the Seattle Symphony and recorded live in concert, The Flying Lotus is Rahman’s first composition solely for orchestra and features Seattle Symphony’s Second Assistant Concertmaster Simon James as the violin soloist. “The Flying Lotus is a musical impression of where India was and where it’s going,” says Rahman in an interview with The Seattle Times. “India is very progressive now. People are in such a very strong kind of mood. I thought I should capture musically those feelings of elation and also helplessness in a way. How can you say that musically, and also with a sense of pride in it? It’s hard to explain in words, but I thought music could communicate those emotions.” The Flying Lotus was commissioned for the Seattle Symphony’s ninth annual Celebrate Asia concert, held on May 12, 2017. This cultural celebration is now a signature event in Seattle, presented in partnership with local Asian leaders from the region’s Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese communities.

The spring 2013 shows are slated to kick off in New York on Sept. 13 — a date that’s become a thorn in the Milanese side, with Mario Boselli, head of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, lashing out at a calendar he believes was foisted upon the Italians by New York’s Council of Fashion Designers of America. In 2008, the governing fashion organizations of the four fashion capitals — New York, London, Milan and Paris — agreed to kick off the collections season on the second Thursday in February and September. Sometimes — like this year — that means the New York shows start three days after Labor Day, but for the next three years, the shows will kick off the following week. Boselli claimed the sec- ond Thursday rule was only for the short term. “After three years, we should sit down and decide on the next three years, and we don’t understand why the CFDA has single- handedly set the New York show dates later in September next year,” Boselli said.

  • Superheavy Elements: Existence, Classification and Experiment
    UDC 541.2 Superheavy elements: existence, classification and experiment V.A.Kostyghin1, V.M.Vaschenko2, Ye.A.Loza2 1 "Akvatekhinzhiniring", Cherkassy, Ukraine, e-mail:[email protected] 2 State Ecological academy for post-graduate education and management, Kyiv, Ukraine, e-mail:[email protected] This paper proposes spatial periodic table developed based on classic electron shell structure model. The periodic table determines location and chemical properties of superheavy elements. 14 new long-living superheavy elements found by Proton-21 laboratory and one long-living superheavy element found by A.Marinov were identified. Introduction At present there are 118 elements known [1]. However, there are only 104 of them well-studied. The superheavy nuclei existence problem and also nuclones collective states problems (super-nuclei, nuclear associations, multi-nuclei clusters, nuclear condensate etc.) long ago have become subject of experimental and theoretical research [2-7]. This problem is specially important for modern astrophysical concepts [8-10]. The main branch of experimental research of superheavy nuclei isotopes and exotic isotopes of light nuclei is a new elements synthesis by different accelerator with latter investigation of nuclei collision results. However this method has two important and unsolved problems [11, 12]. The first one is the excess energy of the synthesized nucleus. The energy required to overcome the Coulomb barrier during the nuclei collision transforms 1 into internal energy of the newly formed nucleus and it is usually enough for instant nuclei fission, because the internal clusters of the nuclei have energy over Coulomb barrier. This leads to a very complex experimental task of "discharge" of excess energy by high-energy particle radiation - gamma-quantum, neutron, positron, proton, alpha-particle [13] etc.

  • Research Accomp (2000)
    1 Research Accomplishments Research Accomplishments Research School of Physical Sciences & Engineering 2000 7 Research Accomplishments Applied Mathematics The Department of Applied Mathematics performs research on fundamental and applied topics in colloid, surface and polymer science, largely in measurement of surface forces; on self-assembly of organic and inorganic structures at mesoscopic scales; and on disordered materials, mostly on micron-scale morphology and transport in porous structures. Research Summary (Applied Mathematics) Research Accomplishments 2000 has been a very busy year for this Department. For this writer, (too) much of that business has been devoted to consolidation of research activities, to forward planning and to ensuring our long-term survival. Earlier in the year, we were reviewed by an international committee of the highest standing that resulted in a report of overwhelming confidence in the future of the department. The review process was strenuous and thorough, and we are justifiably proud of the result. We are very grateful for the committee for their rigorous independence and efforts during those hot days in February. Professor Stephen Hyde We are now on a sounder long-term footing, and in the enviable position of recruiting - Head of Applied Mathematics the best talent we can find around the world in our perceived areas of strength: theoretical and experimental studies of complex condensed systems. Those systems range from surfaces and colloids to porous rocks. The work is at heart fundamental, but of direct interest to downstream scientists and technicians in the oil and cosmetics industries, the materials industries, and so on. Real advances have been made this year in characterisation of structure in disordered porous systems, using the armoury of integral and differential geometry, in understanding of a range of surface forces and in X-ray tomographic technology.
