Bajel Projects Ltd has announced the winning of a new transmission line order from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL). In a release, Bajel Projects said that the order, valued at over Rs.300 crore, pertains to the transmission line package “TL04” for the 400kV double-circuit Siwani-Jind (PG) (quad) transmission line in Haryana, running around 99 km. The order is scheduled for completion in 18 months, the release noted. This transmission line package is associated with an ISTS-TBCB scheme termed as “Transmission system for evacuation of power from Rajasthan REZ Ph-IV (Part 3: 6 GW), Bikaner Complex, Part B” that is being developed by Powergrid Siwani Transmission Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGCIL. Commenting on this achievement, Rajesh Ganesh, MD & CEO of Bajel Projects Ltd, “We are proud to contribute to the nation’s green energy initiatives by strengthening the transmission system for the REZ Ph-IV, Bikaner Complex. This project reflects our commitment to delivering...

  The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mild electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published on July 1 st   in the open-access journal   PLOS Biology   by Roi Cohen Kadosh from University of Surrey, United Kingdom, and colleagues. When it comes to cognitive skills like reading and math, early advantages tend to compound over time. Mathematical abilities, however, seem to plateau from childhood to adulthood, raising the possibility that innate brain characteristics might shape academic outcomes independently of external factors like socioeconomic status. To better understand the neurobiology of mathematical learning, the authors measured connection strength between brain regions associated with learning math while 72 participants performed a 5-day math task. While solving math problems that required either calculating a solution or rote memorization, participants received ...

13th Sep 2024 by Dr Ffion McKeague Chemistry has a key role in driving sustainability change Chemistry is the cornerstone of modern civilisation, playing a crucial role in virtually every aspect of our lives. From the food we eat and the water we drink to the medicines which save lives and the clothes we wear; the impact of chemistry is omnipresent. However, this influence does come with a significant environmental cost. Industries, including pharmaceuticals, are a major consumer of water and energy, raising questions over how we can reconcile the benefits with the urgent need to meet global climate targets. The environmental footprint is substantial. Water and energy are critical resources in the production of chemical products, and their extensive use contributes to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge is to maintain the significant benefits while mitigating its adverse environmental effects. Transformers To address these challenges, scientific research must undergo...

  Traditional design strategies for synthetic polymers and organic molecules are experiment-based, guided by experience and intuition, and driven by application requirements. However, with the growing demand for new materials and the vast number of existing organic molecules, these methods face significant challenges. Image Credit: Zakharchuk/Shutterstock.com With rapid advances in high-throughput computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, polymer informatics is emerging as a promising tool to ensure breakthrough discoveries in polymer science. 1, 2 Polymers are one of the most ubiquitous classes of materials in modern society. Their applications range from packaging, textiles, and consumer goods manufacturing to medicine, construction, and transportation. A polymer material consists of many repeating units, called monomers, assembled in long molecular chains. These polymer chains can form different structures, resulting in polymer materia...
