Ronald Ross: The trailblazer who traced malaria

C
arried by a miniscule vector, malaria is one of the
deadliest contenders in pathology history affecting
about 200 million people every year. The term
malaria originates from Italian: ‘mala aria’ meaning bad air,
to which the disease was attributed to during the medieval
times. Looming for ages, the cataclysm was much dire up until the late nineteenth
century, when Dr Ross’s research work in propagation of the ailment demonstrating
the origins of this mysterious disease to the world.
Ronald Ross was born in Almora (13 May 1857), then in the North-Western
Provinces of Company-ruled India, northwest of Nepal. At the age of eight, he was sent
to England where he did his schooling. Ross attended the St Bartholomew’s Hospital
Medical College after High school, initially wavering from studies, he spent his time
composing music and theatre. After graduation he went on to practice as a surgeon in
the Indian Medical Service in 1881.
Ross’s first step in research was in 1895, during his posting in India; he observed
the early stages of malarial parasite inside a mosquito stomach. In May of the following
year, during his leave, he was able to visit a malaria-endemic region around Ooty,
where he noticed a mosquito on the wall in a peculiar posture, and for this he called it
“dappled- winged” mosquito on his first encounter. After two years of research failure,
he managed to culture 20 adult “brown” mosquitoes from collected larvae. He
successfully infected the mosquitoes from a patient; after blood-feeding, he dissected
the mosquitoes. Consequently, he confirmed the presence of the malarial parasite
inside the gut of mosquito, which he originally identified as “dappled-wings” It was this
species that was later identified as the deadly Anopheles mosquito. For his research
work he was awarded the Nobel prize in physiology in 1902. During this active career,
Ross’s interest lay mainly in the initiation of measures for the prevention of malaria in
different countries of the world. He carried out surveys and initiated schemes in many
places, including West Africa, the Suez Canal zone, Greece, Mauritius, Cyprus, and in
the areas affected by the 1914-1918 war. One of his greatest contributions to the world
was the development of mathematical models for the study of its epidemiology. His
papers represented a profound mathematical interest which was not confined to
epidemiology but led him to make material contributions to both pure and applied
mathematics. Those related to pathometry (the quantitative study of disease) are best
known and constitute the basis of much of the today’s epidemiological understanding
of insect-borne diseases.

(2021). Thermal cycles and their effects during friction stir welding of
AA7075 thicker plates with and without in‐process cooling.
Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, 52(3), 308-319.

Friction stir welding of AA 7075 plates in three


different thicknesses such as 10, 16 and 25 mm
at natural convection condition was carried out
successfully without defects. Water cooled
friction stir welds were also produced on 16
mm thick plates. The thermal cycles at different
locations of the plate, during the friction stir
welding process, were predicted using a three-dimensional thermal model. Mechanical
properties of the welds were evaluated using tensile and hardness tests. Weld microstructures
were also examined with optical and transmission electron microscopes. The weld hardness
values and tensile properties were found to decrease with increase in plate thickness. The use
of water cooling was found to improve the weld properties to some extent, although not to the
level of base metal. The reasons for this behavior are discussed, correlating thermal cycles,
mechanical properties, fracture locations and precipitate morphology.

Due to the enormously increasing population in metropolitan cities of India, most of


the transmissions of ozone exhausting substances are expected from metropolitans, of
which the building structures may contribute significantly. To limit these levels, one of
the inevitable structures of the metropolitan plan is to adopt green buildings. In this
regard, integration of Nano-enhanced Bio Phase Change Material (NeBPCM) in
buildings is an innovative technology that has a high potential to reduce the thermal
energy penetration into the buildings. The green buildings enhance the thermal
comforts inside the building with energy conservation. A novel integration of NeBPCM
composite is introduced to a Solid Concrete Hollow Block of size 400 mm x 200 mm x
100 mm. The experimental building of size 1 m x 1 m x 1 m is constructed to analyze
the thermal effects of this phase change material (PCM) integration within the
buildings. A drop in temperature is observed in PCM integrated building from 5.3°C
to 1.1°C compared to that of building without PCM. The error between the measured
data and numerical predictions is found to be within the range of 0.3°C and 1.6°C. The
experimental investigations also revealed a reduction in maximum room temperature
up to 5.3°C in the building integrated with NeBPCM vis-à-vis building without
NeBPCM. Also, NeBPCM integration in building increased the temperature by 1.8°C
when the outside ambient temperature averagely dropped below 23.6°C, thus
improving the thermal comfort in the buildings all over the seasons. Therefore,
NeBPCM integration in buildings is advantageous in terms of maintaining the room
temperature to provide passive cooling of buildings with energy savings.

Shyam Sundar,III-Year, writes….

This is Shyam Sundar,


pursuing third year in
Mechanical engineering.

I recently attended
the Training at EQuad
Engineering Services. It is a
government funded training
(MSME). The training took
place for a week in
Perungudi.

I underwent the training in “Robotics Element and


Architecture” from 16th to 21st August. I came across this in 2nd year and registered. Next,
they called for training by the engineers who graduated in 2018. Initially, we were taught in a
classroom and later they showed the workings of the model and we started doing hands-on.

I learnt about the mechanics and Electrical side of robotics, in which the former deals with
the mechanism of working and the latter deals with the basic code to run the robot.

It was a good experience and informative. I got an overall idea of how the Robots function.

Varuna.G , IV year, writes…

Dow Chemicals Internship Selection Process: Dow Chemicals Internship selection process
was very neatly and systematically arranged virtual process. It started off with an Induction
session which started at 10:00am in the morning of 15th February 2021 and ended at 11:00am,
where we got to know about the company much better, like the products they manufactured,
their values and so on.

1)Around 11:30 am, we had a technical aptitude test, which tested our technical knowledge,
in which the questions came from Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, EG, Strength of
Materials.

2) Around 1:00pm, we had our group discussion in which the topics were more relevant to the
present times- ‘Virtual learning vs Conventional learning’ and ‘Is technology making us less
human’.

After this, we went on a lunch break, where the panel took time to shortlist the candidates
based on the performance in the aptitude and the GD.

3)The PI for me started from 8:00pm, which lasted up to 8:30 pm, where the questions mostly
dealt with what we had put on our resume. So, building up a good resume is more important.
Since I had put Fluid Mechanics and Strength of Materials as my areas of interest, most
questions were asked from that and some questions from my resume too.

4) After further shortlisting, the final HR round took place on 19th February 2021, four days
after the previous three rounds. They asked some basic questions like

• Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?


• Why did you opt for Mechanical Engineering?

And so on and so forth.

In short if I had to sum up, it was totally a new experience and the exposure was phenomenal.
The interview panel, the HR were all comfortable, so that at any point we did not feel as if we
were just third year students who were seeking an internship. We were treated with due respect
and they honoured our queries calmly.

Dow Chemicals Internship experience:

The internship started from June 3, 2021 to Aug 13, 2021. I was assigned the role of Piping
Materials Engineer, wherein I worked on 2 projects. My role in the internship process was to
create a specification which had all the components required to lay a pipeline system. It also
contains the dimensions of the components. To put in simpler words, it was more like a bill of
materials. I was also asked to know the workprocess of the overall Piping discipline and where
do I stand in it. They had also conducted various sessions in which we got to know about the
different disciplines that come together for the smooth operation of the plant.

Dow made sure that we feel comfortable through all the stages by conducting a virtual talent
show, wherein we displayed our talents. The major motto that they follow is the safety. Inclusion
is their goal. Diversity is their vision. They work towards gender equality at any cost.

In a nutshell, this internship made me technically sound as well as developed my soft skills and
working with such a massive organization gives me pleasure.

Muhilan S, IV-year, writes ...

My name is Muhilan, pursuing final year in Mechanical Engineering department. I recently took
the GRE examination in the month of July.

Preparation: Students can opt to either prepare by themselves at home with the help of
various books and online GRE portals or enrol into any institute to get a complete overview
and the idea of GRE through the faculty who would be taking classes for each subject.

Pattern: There are 3 types of sections, namely:

1. Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA), (0-6 marks, with 0.5 increments)

2. Verbal Reasoning. (130-170 marks)

3. Quantitative Reasoning. (130-170 marks)

The exam is for a total of approximately 4 hours with a 10-minute break in between. The exam
consists of total 6 sections:

• The first section is the AWA, where you will be given an Issue and an Argument to
compose your answer on. In the issue task, you are provided with a topic/statement in
which you must take a stance, as to whether you agree or disagree with the statement
presented above. The argument task would provide you a memo or an argument, in
which you would have to pick out flaws that the argument presented above contains
and construct a well written response using those flaws and stating how can these flaws
be supported to make them meaningful. Timing for each task is 30 minutes

• The other 5 sections consist of either 3 verbal and 2 quants or 2 verbal and 3 quants.
Verbal sections have 20 questions for 30 minutes and quants section have 20 questions

18
Volume 11 Issue 9 September 2021
Monthly Newsletter of Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering, Chennai

for 35 minutes. One out of these 5 sections are unscored, which means that it won’t be
evaluated for your final score, and we will not be knowing which section it is.

Preparation tips: When it comes to preparation, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Initially, go through the syllabus of GRE in both verbal and quants.

2. For quants, go through each concept one at a time, and once you finish a concept, try
all the variety of sums, not all the questions as a whole. This helps you to cover each
type of sum that can be asked under that topic and leave some questions for you to
practice later when you are preparing all the topics at once. Secondly, prepare a
formula sheet for quick reference, and note down points that you might need to
remember. Next, start practicing quants for about 1-1.5 hours a day, and make sure you
cover sums from all topics, for example, 5 sums from each topic per day.

3. For verbal, there are various types of questions, like passage questions, fill in the
blanks, critical reasoning and fill a blank with two words that give the same meaning to
the sentence. Verbal requires a lot of vocabulary, so spend 1 hour every day to learn
new words and try forming sentences using those words to remember them.

• For passage questions, first try reading the questions, and then try to find the
location of where the answer might be found. No answer is direct, so you will
have to read, infer, and conclude the answer using the context of the passage
and the given options.
• For critical reasoning questions, you will have to find the best answer out of the
options that would satisfy the statement given.
• Fill in the blank questions mostly depend on whether you are able to
understand the tone in which the sentence is given, and most importantly tests
your vocabulary. Practice these kinds of questions for about 1-1.5 hours a day.

4. For AWA, try taking various topics and write on them. Use international examples to
strengthen your AWA. Try to write about 450-600 words.

5. Once you feel confident, go for Full Length tests. Once you complete a test, never
forget to review your answers from the test. It is very important as that is what is going
to help you to improve in the areas where you need work on. Take 2 tests per week as
the examination date approaches. Try to take as many tests as possible.

6. Do all your practice on your computer as the final exam is a computer-based exam, so
it would be helpful for you to get used to it.

7. One day before the exam, do not take a test or read anything, just relax, and take good
rest.

The difficulty of the final exam roughly is close enough to the 2 free mock exams that the ETS
website provides, but do not entirely depend on it as you cannot predict what you would get
in the exam. So, prepare to your very best. Expect the unexpected.

Good luck to all you guys who are going to take up the test. Hope these points help you to
score well.

G V Surya Sashank, IV-year, writes…

I am G.V Surya Sashank from Mechanical final year. When SSN College of Engineering
sponsored courses on the online course platform Coursera I was rather skeptical about this
method of learning. However, looking at the plethora of information and knowledge which was
at my disposal I tried one of the courses and I had discovered a way which helped me learn
and access knowledge in a way that was efficient for me. Following the sponsorship from
coursera, SSN College of Engineering sponsored a few courses on the edX platform from
where I learnt some of the basics of R programming and data science. I completed 4 courses
during the month of August, from Harvard University. The online platform edX really helped
me learn more at my own pace and with the community from around the world helping me at
every step, I didn’t feel alone or lost at any point during my journey.

The courses majorly revolved around Data Visualization, Modelling and a few
Productivity tools while taking up a new data science project. Each course was new, and the
instructors covered the topics using interesting case studies like: Trends in World Health and
Economics, US Crime Rates, The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 and Election Forecasting. With
the R programming language, I was able to simulate experiments using probability theory,
visualize them using multi-layered plots, derive inferences from the same using models and
finally share the results with tools like git and GitHub.

These courses have opened a new avenue for me to explore and I am thankful for SSN
College of Engineering for introducing me to the R Programming language and RStudio
Environment.

Mech Marvel
Tough, Yet Flexible – A Next Gen Smart Fabric

Materials that change their properties in response to certain


stimuli could come to occupy a valuable space in many fields,
ranging from robotics to medical care, to defence. A new
example of this, developed by scientists at Singapore's Nanyang
Technological University and Caltech in the US is modelled on
ancient chain mail armour, enabling it to swiftly switch from
flexible to stiff thanks to carefully arranged interlocking particles.
This behaviour is enabled by a concept called jamming transition. Think about coffee in a
vacuum-sealed bag. When still packed, it is solid. But as soon as the bag is opened, the
coffee grounds are no longer jammed against each other, and it can be poured as though
they were a fluid. The team designed several configurations of linked particles, from linking
rings to linking cubes to linking octahedrons. The materials were 3-D printed out of polymers
and even metals with the help of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. In testing, a vacuum-locked
chain mail fabric was able to support a load of 1.5 kilograms, more than 50 times the fabrics’
own weight. The team is now working to improve performance, and is investigating new ways
it might be stiffened, with magnetism, temperature, and electricity among the possibilities.
This video shows it in action. The study was published in the journal Nature.

Amazing Innovation 199

Nature Inspired Bioglue To Save Lives


Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) have designed a strong,
biocompatible glue that can seal injured tissues and
stop bleeding, inspired by a super strong underwater
adhesive used by Barnacles. The new paste can
adhere to surfaces even when they are covered with
blood and form a tight seal within about 15-30
seconds of application.

Hemostatic agents used now in surgery don’t always work in conditions where there is too
much bleeding. The team turned to nature for inspiration. Barnacles are marine creatures that
firmly adhere to all kinds of surfaces by secreting certain bio-substances. They took this
concept and applied it to existing medical adhesives.

Lab testing has led to positive results. They aim to test it on larger wounds and eventually in
the longer run, make it a feasible option for first responders and surgeons to use in saving
lives.

Amazing Innovation 200


Taming Wave Energy
The untapped potential of ocean wave energy is
vast – it is estimated that the power of coastal waves
around the world each year is equivalent to annual
global electricity production. A research team led by
RMIT University in Australia has created a wave
energy converter that is twice as efficient at
harvesting power as any similar technologies
developed to date. It is based on a world first, dual
turbine design. Unlike some popular experimental
approaches to harness wave energy, which requires the device to move in sync with waves
for max efficiency; The RMIT-created prototype needs no special synching tech, as the device
naturally floats up and down with the swell of the wave. This simple and economic prototype
has been successfully tested at lab scale and the research team is keen to collaborate with
industry partners to test a full-scale model, and work towards commercial viability.

Alumni Write-Up

Diwakar’s aspiring research journey

Diwakar Suresh Babu, our


department alumnus (2018
batch) is about to pursue his PhD
at the prestigious Helmholtz
Institute for Materials and Energy.
Today, he shares with us his
fascinating works ranging from
carcinogens to setting the world-
record in solar to hydrogen
conversion efficiency!

I am elated to share my
career update after graduating
from SSN which served as an
impetus to explore the
Nanoworld. In February 2021, I graduated ‘cum laude’ from TU Delft with a Masters in
Materials Science and Engineering, specializing in Nanotechnology. During my thesis,
I worked on the advanced anodic oxidation of PFAS, commonly called as “forever
chemicals” which causes cancer in humans at a very young age and are present in the
blood of almost every single human being on earth. With achieving 100% degradation
efficiency using boron-doped diamond electrodes, our research article is currently
under review in Q1 journal.

One of the greatest moments in my life is to witness the Large Hadron Collider
and a 27 km ring of superconducting magnets at CERN where the particles that make
up everything around us are being studied.

With increasing concerns over the climate change and an immediate need to attain
sustainability, I decided to pursue my PhD at the Helmholtz Institute for Materials and
Energy, Berlin, Germany. From the 1st of September, I will be working on the Atomic
Layer Deposition (ALD) of protective layers in III-V semiconductors for water-splitting
photoelectrodes. The photoelectrodes produce green hydrogen through direct solar
water-splitting. I will be using the particle accelerator (synchrotron) situated at
Helmholtz to characterize materials using extremely bright X-rays produced by
electrons travelling at the speed of light. My research is a part of the joint project
“H2Demo” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research with 14
million euros to demonstrate large scale water-splitting. Our project partners currently
hold the world-record efficiency of solar to hydrogen conversion (19%) and one of my
goals would be to surpass the 19% efficiency. With the attained research experience in
the upcoming years, I aim move back to India with an interest to initiate a multi-
partnered research institute focusing on Nanotech similar to CeNSE at IISC.

breakout rooms as per their scheduled time slot to experience a one-on-one interview

25
Volume 11 Issue 9 September 2021
Monthly Newsletter of Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering, Chennai

with the HR manager from the respective companies. The alumni started off with a few
general questions, to loosen up the candidate and went on to pose questions testing
their technical knowledge. At the end of the interview, the convenors provided
constructive feedback to the students to help rectify their shortcomings, throwing light
on areas that needed attention specific to each candidate. Following this, the breakout
rooms were closed and the alumni general feedback. Some of such suggestions were:

o Students were learned in technical aspects but revision on a few concepts were
called for
o Apart from their interested fields, it is required for the candidates to possess a
general knowledge about all their subjects
o It is crucial to answer with a clear, bold reply
o Candidates should know their resume in and out (including detailed awareness
about in-plant trainings and internships) and skills that are poorly known are
better off removed
o Regarding the project, applicants should be able to explain their work and
their specific areas of interest in the project
o During the interview, the students should manage to explain how their
interests and work could benefit the company if they were hired

The students expressed their gratitude to the alumni for providing a beneficial
experience to help tackle their future endeavours. They felt such mock interview
sessions were necessary for the upcoming batches, well equipping them to ace the
interview milestone of their placement journey.

“The interview was very informative, and the alumni were really
friendly. It gave a glimpse of how a technical interview would be
and how to prepare for it. This event makes me feel quite
confident about the future interviews that I would attend.”

-Participant
Finally, the event concluded with well wishes from the alumni; they were delighted to
witness the student turnout to the session and hoped that the session was useful in
helping the attendees adapt to oncoming challenges.

Inspiring Life Stories

Prometheus and the Two Roads

In the olden days, the Greeks believed


Zeus to be the King of all Gods and
Prometheus, the God who made man.
One day, Zeus called Prometheus and
said, “I command you, Prometheus, to
show all human beings the way of
freedom and the way of slavery.”
Prometheus said, “The way to freedom will be rough in the beginning, with many
blocks and steep climbs. There would be no water to drink. There would be no
pathways, only thorns. And there would be dangers on all sides. But the road would
become a smooth plain. There will be fruit trees and streams on both sides of the path.
The difficulty will end. People will be able to rest. They will reach freedom.”
Prometheus then added, “The way of slavery will start out as a smooth plain in the
beginning. The pathway will be full of beautiful flowers and very -comfortable; just the
opposite to the road leading to freedom. But later there will be only blocks, steep
climbs and difficulty on all sides.”
“Good things in life do not come easy.”

Happy Morning
Think of a notebook with several pages. Each page is just an
open page. It is up to us to either scribble on it or write poetry on
it. Irrespective of what we do with the page, we can still turn to the
next page. Once again, we have the choice of either scribbling on
it or writing poetry on this new page. Till the notebook ends, the
freedom of choice to use or abuse the pages of the notebook
purely rests with us. More importantly, even if we have wasted the

30
Volume 11 Issue 9 September 2021
Monthly Newsletter of Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering, Chennai

first half of the notebook with just scribbling, we can still write poetries after poetries in
the second half of the notebook and make the notebook worth preserving.

Metaphorically, the notebook can be compared with our life and each open page in it
to a day in our life. The dawn of every day offers you the choice of using or abusing the
day. Till you embrace death, the freedom of choice to use or abuse the days of your
life purely rests with you. Whatever be our age, as worst-case scenario, even if you have
wasted the entire past of our life, you can still make a beginning, starting today.

· The past is irrelevant.

· We cannot undo the past.

· There is no ctrl+Z options in life. So, let it go.

· Draw a line to the past.

· The present forms the building blocks to our future.

· Begin from where we can begin and that is now.

· Start now. Use our present to build our future.

· Our future is yet to be and it begins from today,

We can make the most of every day of our life from now on and create a life that will be
cherished. It is never late to begin. It is never too late to get awakened in life. Our future
begins now. Move with this confidence and we can make a difference in our life.

Life is not about finding yourself, Life is about Creating yourself
