आयआयटी मुंबईद्वारे विकसित नवीन डीप-लर्निंग फ्रेमवर्क SpADANet (स्पाडानेट) मर्यादित लेबल्स वापरूनही अनेक चक्रीवादळांमधील संरचनात्मक नुकसान अधिक अचूकपणे वर्गीकृत करू शकते.
To understand an extensive, complex physical system, thinkers break it up into smaller components and try to understand the properties of the most minor microscopic components. This method helps us understand many complicated things around us, and has helped us solve a lot of real-world problems.
ಬಾವಲಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಪಾಡಿಗೆ ತಾವು ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾರಾಡುವ ಸಸ್ತನಿಗಳು. ಇವು ಪ್ರಪಂಚದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಹರಡಿದ್ದು, ಇವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಮಾರು ೧೨೦೦ ಪ್ರಭೇದಗಳಿವೆ. ಈಗಿನ ಲಾಕ್ ಡೌನ್ ಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿರುವ ಕೋವಿಡ್-೧೯ ಸಾಂಕ್ರಾಮಿಕವನ್ನು ಬಾವಲಿಗಳು ಹರಡುತ್ತಿವೆ ಎಂದು ಜನರು ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂರಕವಾಗಿ, ಕೆಲವೇ ದಿನಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ, ICMR (ಇಂಡಿಯನ್ ಕೌನ್ಸಿಲ್ ಫಾರ್ ಮೆಡಿಕಲ್ ರಿಸರ್ಚ್)ನ ಅಧ್ಯಯನವೊಂದು ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡುಬರುವ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ “ಬ್ಯಾಟ್-ಕೊರೊನ ವೈರಸ್” ಇದೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಬೆಳಕಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಓದಿದ ಜನ, ಭಯಭೀತರಾಗಿ ಕೆಲವೆಡೆ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುವ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕೆಲವರಂತೂ ಮನೆ ಅಂಗಳದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಸಪೋಟಾ, ಮಾವು ಹಾಗೂ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳು ಬರುವ ಇತರ ಗಿಡ-ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
Humans communicate a lot non-verbally, thanks to the ability of our brain to understand tone. Would computers be able to do this? Currently capable of understanding plain text, they are struggling to learn the emotions behind the words, conveyed through tone. But these machines are catching up fast. Digital audio processing tools equip computers to understand various information in sound, including emotions.Prof Preeti Rao of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is an expert in sound processing—an approach that helps us do various useful things, one of which is removing unwanted sounds (or noise) from an audio clip. With her team at the Digital Audio Processing Lab, Prof Rao attempts to understand the nature of sound, reveal the information it may hold, and use it for, say, identifying tracks, melodies or the raga of a song.
द्विमितीय नॅनो-सामग्री वापरून प्रकाशीय निस्यंदक व तापविद्युत साधने बनवणे शक्य होईल असे एका सैद्धांतिक अभ्यासात सूचित
Scientists around the world have been actively looking for eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical-based batteries. In one such effort, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have designed a micro-combustor that is efficient and environment-friendly. The study, funded by the Science and Engineering Board (SERB) and Department of Science and Technology (DST), has been published in various journals including Applied Physics Letters, Energy Conversion and Management, and Applied Energy.
शोधकर्ताओं ने पता लगाया कि कैसे मिट्टी की गुणवत्ता में सुधार करने वाला स्यूडोमोनास नामक जीवाणु कार्बारिल को हज़म कर जाता है
The novel coronavirus — termed SARS-CoV-2 — belongs to a family of viruses that target and infect the upper respiratory tract of mammals. At least six types of coronaviruses are known to infect humans that cause common cold. Scientists have reported the existence of coronaviruses in bats and birds dating back to millions of years ago.
In a recent effort, researchers at IIT - Kanpur have worked on answering about the approaches to flatten the epidemic curve.
New design in thermoelectric devices can increase both output power and efficiency
A ventilator can be a life-saver for patients whose lungs are damaged by the COVID-19 infection. But India, like all countries grappling with this pandemic, is likely to face a large shortage of ventilators. Manufacturers are unable to source key components such as sensors and flow controllers from abroad due to the current disruptions in global supply chains.To address this shortage, a team of engineers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is currently building a prototype of an electro-mechanical ventilator from scratch, using only components found or made in India, based on guidelines issued by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. It is expected to be ready within the next couple of weeks.
