RESEARCH and PUBLICATIONS of PDPU Faculty in Last Three Months (2) Prof. Ashish Sarkar 2008 being the International Year of Plant Earth (IYPE), and the International Polar Year (IPY), 33rd International Geological Congress (33IGC) addressed the issues related to Earth sciences with special symposia. Ashish Sarkar attended the 33IGC from 6th August to 14th August 2008, held in Oslo, Norway. He contributed and presented two papers in the ‘Paleocimate and Climate Modelling’ and ‘General Contributions to Soil Science’. He in one of the few selected participants, who received financial support from ‘Geohost’ to attend the Congress. (4) Prof. Tajinder Singh (1) Prof. Vishvesh Badheka I) Fast Track Scheme for Young Scientist from Department of Science & Technology (DST), New Delhi. For the project entitled “Gas Metal Arc Welding with Metal Core Arc Wire” in the year Dec 2008, Project is ongoing. (DST Ref No: SR/FTP/ETA-19/2008) Total Cost of Project is Rs 15,18,000.00 lakh. II) Research project on “Weldability aspects of Low Activation Ferritic-Martensitic Steel Welded by Activated Flux Tungsten Inert Gas Welding” from Board For Research in Fusion Science & Technology (BRFST), National Fusion Program of Institute for Plasma Research, Department of Atomic Energy, Gandhinagar, India, in the year Dec 2008. Project is going on and is in collaboration with Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam. (Ref ; NFP/08/MAT-01) Total Cost of Project is Rs 24,26,500.00 Publications “Effect of Residual Magnetism on Sidewall Fusion in Narrow Gap Gas Metal Arc Welding”, by Badheka V J and Agrawal S K, It has been published in “Welding and Cutting” International Journal of German Welding Society, DVS. Issue Welding and Cutting 5 (2008) (3) Prof. Arun Sarma Prof. Arun Sarma visited <strong>University</strong> of Innsbruck, Austria, Europe to attend 50th year celebration of the Insbruck Plasma Physics Division, which was held on 5th December 2008. He was invited to attend that celebration and also to give a talk on Plasma Physics. Prof. Sarma was also invited to work in their laboratory on a joint project in collaboration with Max Institute of Plasma Physics, Grifswald, Germany. Prof. Sarma worked in their laboratory on following two proposals: (i) Thermal Conductivity and Resistivity of LaB6 Materials with Laser Power (ii) Study of antenna characteristics in plasma medium. Dr. Tajinder Pal Singh, was invited at MIT, Pune as a Chief Referee for the International Robocon 2008, held on 31th August, where 17 Engineering Colleges from 16 countries participated. Also, Dr. Singh for the last five years has been heading a panel of judges in Robotic National level competition (ROBOCON) organized by Doordarshan,where teams from IIT’s, NIT’s and other Engineering Colleges actively participate. Robocon, short for Robotic Contest, is an interesting game-cum-intellectual exercise for budding engineers and their enthusiastic instructors, determined to innovate and create machines to produce desired results. Participation in it is an end-to-end competitive experience from concept design of a system of robots programmed to perform according to rules of the game played on a precisely created challenging field and to score a victory beating the competitors; all this according to a Theme declared by the Host Country. International Robocons are mainly sponsored by Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) which includes Doordarshan (Prasarbharati) of India as a member. RESEARCH
PUBLICATIONS (5) Prof. Bhawanisingh Desai Dr. Bhawanisingh G Desai, has been awarded a major DST project on "Ichnofabric mapping of the Mundhan and Guneri Sections with special reference to (Umian-Mundhanian Kutch Stages) Western Kachchh India". He has also completed a DST Fast track project on "Ichnology of the Jurassic Rocks of the Jara dome, Western Kachchh India" and has published a paper, on the oxygenation history of Jara dome area, in Journal of Geological Society of India. Along with this collobrotation was also done to understand the evolution of life based on trace fossil occurences in parts of Nigalidhar and Korgai syncline of Lesser Himalaya along with Dr. Rajita Shukla of Waida Instiute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun.
