Deep learning algorithms to predict cyclone severity
Cyclones are not just gusts of wind and rain. They destroy life and property. We need improvements in our prediction of cyclones, to distinguish severe cyclones, very severe cyclones and super cyclones before they happen. Indian researchers have taken one more step towards this. Sanghamitra reports recent research.
Pigeon pea problem: solution with soybean
Indian researchers discover how to save pigeon pea crops from the monsoon variability. To reduce chances of loss to farmers due to diseases and pests, and market variability, here are some tips from six years of research. Sanghamitra reports.
Virtual Reality in Education: Overcoming the challenges
Virtual reality technology allows students to immerse themselves in the phenomena that they are studying. What are the factors that hinder the use of this technology in education? Recent research by faculty of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune is reported by Jahhvi Ahuja.
Pregnancy Care in Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh has long been seen as one of the best states for providing maternal healthcare. But are the numbers telling the full story? Kashifa Wisal, Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication reports on recent research uncovering hidden gaps in access to pregnancy care.
From farms to future: automatic classification of vegetables
To speed up the processes adopted in large farms researchers have developed a method to classify vegetables automatically. The accuracy of the method, developed using artificial intelligence algorithms, is much higher than the earlier methods. Shubhangi Chauhan reports.
Vitamin B12 during pregnancy: epigenetic modifications in newborns
Research has shown that vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy, leads to developmental defects in the embryo stage and a propensity to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes in babies after birth. Researchers in Pune have now uncovered the reasons. Thamanna Sadique reports.
Energy from oceans: power for the future
We experience frequent power outages in our country. For those with inverters, power cuts are an inconvenience. But as our summers grow increasingly brutal, we need electricity for survival. So, we need alternative sources of energy. Nethra Sailesh reports on research on energy from the oceans.
Rice Crop at Risk in India: new frontiers for hopperburn
The brown planthopper can destroy rice crops. Now the pest is seen mostly in the east and south of India. But if the climate changes, the pest may invade other regions in India. Recent research identified the possible extent of expansion of the pest’s habitat. Sanghamitra reports research from Cuttack.
Detecting Traffic Disruptions in Real Time
To manage traffic, we need to detect disruptions and identify the causes quickly. Researchers at Symbiosis University, Pune have developed artificial intelligence to do this, using data from traffic sensors, meteorological data and artificial intelligence. Nidhi Thaker reports.
Are big cities depriving small towns?
Proximity to big cities – does it help or hinder the development of small towns nearby? Researchers at Symbiosis Centre for Urban Studies investigated. A report on the research by R. Rakendu
