Research gets a boost at NIT-K, Surathkal with CRF - Times of India

MANGALURU: Research activities at the National Institute of Technology, Karnataka (NIT-K) Surathkal received a shot in the arm, with the dedication of a top-notch Central Research Facility (CRF). It was inaugurated by Union minister of human resources development (HRD) Ramesh Pokhriyal, on Tuesday.

The CRF will have 45 high-end research equipment. These machines will be procured at a cost of Rs 80 crore. The newly inaugurated facility is already equipped with three facilities, and is open to all who want to do research.

Karanam Uma Maheshwar Rao, director, NITK Surathkal, explaining the purpose of the CRF, said that the centre facilitates research and research collaboration, and aims to disseminate research results through research conferences, meetings and various activities. It strengthens undergraduate and postgraduate education by providing students with training opportunities and access to facilities. It also helps to seek extramural research funds.

The centre will be a one-stop production facility with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipments, material characterisation facility and IPR cell. Technology transfer cell, office for industrial consultancy and sponsored research (ICSR) as well as technical business incubator and others.

The facility is a great help to more 700 research students who are in the campus. The equipment will be procured from abroad, but stress will also be given to Make in India products. “The research papers will have more weightage at the international journal when these equipment are used for the purpose,” said a faculty member.

The CRF is funded by the Higher Education Funding Agency (HEFA). It is a joint venture of MHRD, government of India and Canara Bank, for financing creation of capital assets in premier educational institutions in India, to enable premier institutions to excel and reach the top in global rankings by financing the building of world class infrastructure including R&D infrastructure.

Queen Of The South

Ooohhhhh….. Teresa Mendoza,

Aren’t you one hell of a woman?

Just look at how far you have come in 4 years’ time!

From being a girl that was living her life

No trouble-making at all

To become a drug mule for the Vargas’

To falling in love and getting engaged to El Guero, a sicario himself

France’s benchmark CAC-40 stock index is breaking out to 10-year highs.

We’ve noted in recent weeks a slew of European stock bourses  (e.g., Norway, Italy, Finland) breaking out, or attempting to break out, to new long-time highs. You can now add France’s CAC-40 Index to that list as it is breaking out to new 10-year highs this week.

This breakout is no surprise for TLS members as we’ve been expecting it for some time. But what’s next for French stocks? Let’s get one thing straight — a breakout to decade highs is not a bearish development. But what is the potential here?….and what’s the best way to play it?  An important component of those answers lies in the proximate cause of the breakout.

It’s no secret that the recent deterioration in the Euro has put a bid into the Eurozone’s stock markets. Thus, should the budding rally in the U.S. Dollar continue further, it could very well be a tailwind for Eurozone equities — though, not necessarily for U.S.-based European equity funds. The currency effect can act as a major drag on whatever gains do accumulate as a result of equity price gains. A quick comparison of the CAC-40 versus the iShares France ETF (EWQ) will make that point quite clear. So don’t be surprised if your position in EWQ fails to keep pace.
