Numerical radius inequalities of Operator and Operator matrices
2022-10-19 00:00
Abstract: Inequalities have existed in different branches of Mathematics since time long. In 1934, the first book Inequalities was written by G. H. Hardy, J. Littlewood and J. Polya. The second book on this topic was written by E. Bechanbach and R.Bellman in 1961. These books have revolutionized the field of inequalities into a well organized field and provide motivations, ideas, techniques and applications for new research. One such salient inequality is Numerical radius inequality.

Devaney Chaos
2022-11-16 00:00
Abstract: In this seminar, we will discuss the journey from the butterfly effect to the definitions of chaos through topological conjugacy, sensitive dependence on initial condition, Scrambled set, e.t.c. Also, the changes in the definition depending on the change in the phase space will be discussed. Unlike other topological spaces, topological transitivity is sufficient for a function on a real interval to behave chaotic.

Invited talk on SolarPV Hybrid Distributed PowerGen System
2022-11-18 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Power and Control Society, on behalf of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, is conducting an invited talk on SolarPV Hybrid Distributed PowerGen System for Rural & Urban Microgrid Applications.Dr Jayesh Barve, Principal Engineer (Controls & Optimisation), GE Global Research, Bangalore, and President, Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimisation Society, will be handling the session, covering motivation, technical background, and some perspectives based on his industrial R&D and pilot-plant experiences related to HDP microgrids.
About the talk
An emerging trend in power systems technologies is the shift in the share of power generation from traditional large, centralised fossil-fuel-based thermal power-generation systems (coupled to large transmission-distribution grids) to new Renewable and/or Hybrid Distributed Power generation (HDP) systems (EITHER off-grid OR grid-tied) forming a small, local power generation- distribution systems called as nano/micro/mini-grids. Such HDP systems and micro-grids can help solve the universal energy access problem by providing electricity in remote, rural areas at lower carbon footprints. Whereas, in urban areas, similar scaled-up, grid-tied HDP microgrids can help reduce energy costs and carbon footprints for commercial and industrial facilities, campuses, and buildings.
The talk will highlight Physical and Digital transformation covering some details of a specific HDP solution that combines novel HDP Physical Systems (i.e., SolarPV, Battery, IC Engine, Power-Energy Controls, and Management, etc.) integrated with state-of-art HDP Digital platform (i.e., cyber-secured Edge- CloudApp based advanced IIOT automation platform) developed by speaker & his team at GE Global Research Center, Bangalore and with several plants successfully deployed & operational globally last few years. Finally, a brief overview will be provided describing the expansion of this work to an urban microgrid energy management platform.
About the speaker
Dr Jayesh Barve has more than thirty years of experience in industrial R&D and academia. He has filed 20+ global patent applications and 50+ research papers in peer-reviewed prestigious international journals and conferences. His R&D contributions have resulted in more than 15 industrial products/TechPoC/ for GE/TCS/other industries.

Archaeometric studies on ancient potsherds in the Indian context
2022-11-18 11:00 - 13:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
Pottery has always been of prime importance in archaeological studies; however, the emphasis has largely been on morphology and decoration. Scientific studies on archaeological pottery are often essential to the correct interpretation of pottery evidence. Although analytical studies on archaeological potsherds in India have been in practice for a long time, there is a lack of convergence of analytical and archaeological approaches to provide a meaningful and systematic study of the material culture of past societies.
The School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is organising a special lecture on Archaeometric studies on ancient potsherds in the Indian context which will be handled by Dr Satish C Pandey, Associate Professor and Head of the Department, National Museum Institute, Noida, Delhi. He is a conservationist with major interests in archaeological and heritage conservation sciences.
Brief about the talk
The technological analysis of pottery looks beyond the mere physical dimensions of the materiality and is concerned with the procedures, skills, materials, and techniques used to produce the pottery. The technical information about the pottery fabric assimilated with its archaeological context may allow a comprehensive understanding of the Chaîne opératoire of the pottery technology through different phases of human existence. Archaeometric studies of pottery are fundamental to the classification and characterisation of pottery, providing relevant data, among other aspects, about its production, function, and social meaning.
Most studies carried out in India are fragmentary in nature, focusing mainly on material characterisation and provenance determination of the potsherd used in investigations, and have been unsuccessful in putting the scientific information back in a broader archaeological context. A systematic study of pottery technology ought to establish a link not only with the cultural phase it belongs to but also with the preceding cultures influencing its development.
Since the archaeological settlements provide stratigraphic sequences ranging from the pre-Harappan phase to the mature Harappan phase, the excavated pottery assemblages from these sequences provide an excellent opportunity to study the development of pottery technology through these phases. This study intents to scientifically investigate the technological development of pottery production in Harappan civilisation, one of the earliest civilisations across the globe.
