Solar-stellar atmospheric tomography with mm-radio snapshot spectroscopic imaging
Millimter (mm) frequencies are primarily sensitive to thermal emission from
layers across the stellar chromosphere up to the transition region, while
metrewave (radio) frequencies probe the coronal heights. Together the mm and
radio band spectroscopic snapshot imaging enables the tomographic exploration
of the active atmospheric layers of the cool main-sequence stars (spectral
type: FGKM), including our Sun. Sensitive modern mm and radio interferometers
let us explore solar/stellar activity covering a range of energy scales at
sub-second and sub-MHz resolution over wide operational bandwidths. The
superior uv-coverage of these instruments facilitate high dynamic range
imaging, letting us explore the morphological evolution of even energetically
weak events on the Sun at fine spectro-temporal cadence. This article will
introduce the current advancements, the data analysis challenges and available
tools. The impact of these tools and novel data in field of solar/stellar
research will be summarised with future prospects.Comment: Accepted: PRE-IX conference proceeding
Garud Survey: A Case of Improving Safety and Transparency in Mining Operations Using Drone Technology
SAI Minerals Pvt. Limited (SAI Minerals), a renowned company engaged in mining cement-grade limestone and manufacturing cement in Rajasthan, India, has been grappling with recurring survey reconciliation and safety issues across its mining operations. Additionally, in compliance with new government regulations, they are now required to conduct aerial surveys and submit digital images and survey reports to the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM). SAI Minerals sought a permanent solution to these challenges and approached Garud Survey Private Limited (Garud Survey), a technology-driven surveying agency. SAI Minerals recognized that these issues not only impacted their production but also tarnished the company\u27s reputation in the mining industry due to frequent accidents. Garud Survey recommended that the best approach to address the problem was to make the survey process faster and more accurate, enabling all stakeholders to have a clear and up-to-date view of the operational status. Garud Survey proposed the implementation of cutting-edge technology to identify and address the root cause of the problem. This case further explores the application of system analysis and design to the adoption and implementation of the latest technology in a real-world use case, as well as the challenges associated with managing change
Evidence for Super-Alfvenic oscillations in sources of Solar type III radio bursts
At the site of their origin, solar meterwave radio bursts contain pristine
information about the local coronal magnetic field and plasma parameters. On
its way through the turbulent corona, this radiation gets substantially
modified due to the propagation effects. Effectively disentangling the
intrinsic variations in emission from propagation effects has remained a
challenge. We demonstrate a way to achieve this, using snapshot spectroscopic
imaging study of weak type III bursts using data from the Murchison Widefield
Array (MWA). We use this study to present the first observational evidence for
second-scale Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in burst source sizes and
orientation with simultaneous QPOs in intensity. The observed oscillations in
source sizes are so fast and so large that, they would require two orders of
magnitude larger Alfven speed than the typical 0.5 Mm/s, if interpreted within
a MHD framework. These observations imply the presence of a quasi-periodic
regulation mechanism operating at the particle injection site, modulating the
geometry of energetic electron beams that generate type III bursts. In
addition, we introduce a method to characterize plasma turbulence in mid
coronal ranges, using such frequent weak bursts. We also detect evidence for a
systematic drift in the location of the burst sources superposed on the random
jitter induced by scattering. We interpret this as the motion of the open flux
tube within which the energetic electron beams travel
Intestinal obstruction in case of internal hernia through congenital defect in falciform ligament in adult
Small bowel obstruction due to internal herniation of ileum through congenital defect in falciform ligament is exceedingly rare, about 0.2% such cases of hernia through congenital defect in falciform ligament have been reported. The case presentation of 60 year old male patient present in surgery department with acute abdominal pain since 7 days. Based on clinical assessment and radiological evidence, intestinal obstruction was diagnosed. For which patient underwent exploratory laprotomy. The discussion of Intraoperative a loop ileum was found obstructed in congenital defect in falciform ligament. Obstruction was relieved by division of leaf of defect, without the need of intestinal resection
Preparing for Solar and Heliospheric Science with the SKAO: An Indian Perspective
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is perhaps the most ambitious
radio telescope envisaged yet. It will enable unprecedented studies of the Sun,
the corona and the heliosphere and help to answer many of the outstanding
questions in these areas. Its ability to make a vast previously unexplored
phase space accessible, also promises a large discovery potential. The Indian
solar and heliospheric physics community have been preparing for this science
opportunity. A significant part of this effort has been towards playing a
leading role in pursuing science with SKAO precursor instruments. This article
briefly summarises the current status of the various aspects of work done as a
part of this enterprise and our future goals.Comment: 34 pages, 18 figures, accepted for publication in Journal of
