Mangaluru, May 22: A project exhibition of Ogival Shell structure constructed by Thariq Aziz, an M.Tech student of Srinivas School of Engineering Mukka, was recently inaugurated by local MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava at Dakshina Kannada Nirmithi Kendra, Surathkal, here.

The eco friendly, low cost, bud' shaped pointed shell structure was constructed without using steel and concrete which can withstand all types of climatic conditions was executed under the advice of Dr. K S Jagadish, Professor Emeritus, IISc Bengaluru and under the guidance of Prof. Subramanya Bhat P of SSE Mukka.

tariq1Mr. Thariq Aziz welcomed the dignitaries and briefed about his M.Tech project. The pointed, the shell structure has about 30 feet perimeter, 9 feet height, and constructed by using 4 inch thick brick wall. The structure did not deform even after applying a load of 2,000 kg.

He said that by adopting this construction technique, around 30-40% basic construction materials can be saved which in turn help in conservation of energy. This type of structure can be constructed at religious places, tourism projects, resorts, rehabilitation and housing projects. Steering and tilting rod technology was developed and incorporated in this project which can rotate 360 degrees to maintain same radius at different levels which helps in maintaining bud' shaped pointed shell and also ease in construction.

Construction of bud' shape using concrete is a tedious job, since it includes sloping formwork and curved reinforcements. Hence the masonry construction of this nature can be a good alternate to RCC which bears good strength and also act as thermal insulator, he said.

Mr Mohiuddin Bava appreciated the project and said that this project is proved to be green construction as very less quantity of cement is consumed, and no steel and concrete. MLA assured that he will provide all necessary support and assistance from the state government to motivate the research attitude among students community of Srinivas School of Engineering.

Er Rajendra Kalbhavi – Project Director of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Dr. K S Babu Narayan – Coordinator of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Dr. Subhash Yaragal – Professor, Dept. of Civil Engg, NITK Surathkal; Dr. Shreeprakash B – Principal, Srinivas School of Engineering; Dr.Ramakrishna Hegde – Vice Principal; Prof. Subramanya Bhat P – Project Guide; Prof. Shrinath Rao K and Ms. Aneesha Thodthillaya of Srinivas School of Engineering; Er Sharat of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Mr. T Habeeb – Project Coordinator, Boskalis Westminister UK; Er Mohammed Shameer – Project Engineer, Saudi Oger Ltd. were present.

Thanks alot each and every one for your valuable comments and best wishes to me. Regarding the ogival shell it can be constructed to any diameter and height. It is not only feasible to construct in religious centers it can also be designed to a independent houses, restaurants, resorts, office, a coffee shop etc. And when it comes to having second floor we can construct a loft and make use of the ample space.

Mangaluru, Jun 3: Mangaluru MLA and former minister U T Khader has urged the state government and Dakshina Kannada district administration to take steps to facilitate the return of Indians stranded in foreign countries amid covid lockdown.

A delegation comprising Mr Khader, DCC President K Harish Kumar, and MLC Ivan D’Souza met District In-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary and submitted a memorandum on Tuesday.

“Kannadigas who are working outside the state are in distress due to the lockdown. More than 50,000 people had uploaded applications on Seva Sindhu portal seeking permission to return to their villagers and are waiting for permission. With the authorities failing to take any decision, they are worried,” said the delegation.

The government should initiate measures to get them back and quarantine them, urged the delegation.

Mr Khader said, “Many workers stranded in foreign countries are eager to return home. The district administration should make arrangements to quarantine those returning from foreign countries and other states.

There are thousands of migrant labourers from Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar stranded in DK. They are waiting to return to their families. The state government should facilitate their return journey, the delegation urged.

MLC Ivan D’Souza said, “Assistance should be provided to private bus staff, beedi workers, tailors, garage labourers and street vendors who are in distress. The price of Covid-19 tests in private laboratories should be reduced.”

The delegation informed that after Wenlock Hospital was converted into the designated COVID-19 hospital, poor patients are facing many inconveniences. A portion of the hospital should be earmarked for treating other patients, they said.

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus. 

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
