Work hard with passion to achieve your goals, greater heights, scientist tells youth
Delivering his address in the 32nd convocation of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University here on Wednesday, Prof. Dimri said the students, who were entering the different phase of working in different fields should think about how well they would be remembered for their contribution to the family, the society and others. Since the future generation would follow only the deeds of success, today's students should develop passion for hard work and love for the chosen job, which alone would bring them success.
He told the students that their success alone would narrate their stories to the future generations and hence they should work hard to conquer their dreams which should always be big. At the same time, the younger generation should learn from their failures as introspection and modified strategies would spell out the success mantra.
Prof. Dimri, a winner of Grove Karl Gilbert Award for Excellence in geomorphological research for his research on Chamoli disaster, also known as Uttarakhand flood, said that as there was huge need for experts based on the emerging societal needs, the startups should come-up with solutions for net zero emissions, climate change, disaster management, all with new dimensions by integrating international and national policies.
He exhorted the younger generation to work on sustainable development of cropping patterns, technologically advanced agriculture and low-cost execution to ensure minimal energy consumption.
Highlighting the MSU's achievements, Vice-Chancellor N. Chandrasekar said the hard work of the teaching faculty, the quality researches and publications had bagged the MSU with broad-based curriculum with core and multidisciplinary components 37th position in the Top 100 in NIRF India Ranking and A+ Grade.
'The C.V. Raman Central Instrumentation Facility established on an outlay of ₹20 crore on MSU campus has laid foundation for advanced interdisciplinary research,' Dr. Chandrasekar said.
A total of 759 candidates including 650 Ph.D. scholars including 108 men and 542 women and 109 medalists including 13 men and 96 women received their degrees during the convocation while 36,617 candidates students received the degrees in absentia. In all, 37,376 candidates including 11,638 men and 25,738 women received their degrees on Wednesday after the results of the final examination were declared in June last.

When rattlesnakes marry their cousins: How inbreeding is killing the venomous snake
A 15-year study by Michigan State University (MSU) conservation biologists has uncovered a startling threat to the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, Michigan's only rattler species: inbreeding caused by habitat farms, and buildings have divided their wetlands into isolated patches, preventing these snakes from finding mates outside their immediate family groups and jeopardising their chances of traced family trees of more than 1,000 Eastern Massasaugas, caught and released as part of a US Fish and Wildlife Service-funded project. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study found that the most inbred snakes were 13% less likely to produce surviving offspring and had nearly 12% lower annual survival rates.'These populations are fairly large and stable, yet we're already seeing the negative effects of inbreeding,' said MSU professor Sarah Fitzpatrick, senior author of the study. She warns that smaller, more fragmented populations across the Midwest face even greater Massasauga rattlesnakes play a vital ecological role as keystone predators, controlling rodent populations in wetland ecosystems. Their decline could disrupt the delicate balance of these habitats, impacting nearby farms and snakes are homebodies, rarely venturing far from their natal wetlands. However, increasing human development restricts their movement further, forcing them to mate with close relatives. 'Even a single road can isolate populations,' Fitzpatrick study's long-term fieldwork, involving blood samples and genomic sequencing, allowed researchers to build detailed family trees and track survival and reproduction. Teams braved wetlands annually, capturing snakes to collect data before releasing them back, thanks to PIT findings highlight the urgent need for conservation measures to restore habitat connectivity. Road underpasses, habitat restoration, and even relocating rattlesnakes to healthier environments could improve gene flow and bolster often feared, Eastern Massasaugas are vital allies in Michigan's wetlands. Protecting them ensures these ecosystems remain balanced and healthy for future generations.- Ends

Drones could soon become more intrusive than ever
For all the impressive tasks that drones can do, there is one that remains beyond their power: facial recognition. Drones are generally much farther from their subjects than the kind of cameras, such as CCTVs, that are ordinarily used for biometrics. At these distances a face may consist of only a few dozen pixels. Atmospheric turbulence caused, for example, by rising hot air, can distort features like the distance between one's eyes. And because they record from the sky, drones' on-board cameras may capture only a partial view of a face (or, if someone is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, none at all). But new technology from a team at Michigan State University (MSU) seeks to change all that and extend the spying powers of artificial intelligence (AI) into the skies. The system, known as FarSight, suggests that long-range aerial surveillance could soon become far more accurate—and intrusive—than ever before. The project is funded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), part of the American government responsible for marshalling fanciful spy-gadget ideas into real-world use. Other current IARPA projects include an effort to build a device that can modulate a voice in real-time in order to avoid detection by speech-recognition tools, as well as an initiative to make snooping devices small and pliable enough to be woven directly into clothing. FarSight works with a similarly crafty technique known as 'whole-body biometric recognition'. Rather than trying to recognise a subject from their face alone, the system uses a combination of biometric-recognition algorithms that run in parallel. One set of algorithms discerns a person's gait. Another generates a 3D reconstruction of their body. Xiaoming Liu, a professor of computer science and engineering at MSU who leads the project, likens it to essentially undressing subjects in order to generate an accurate model of their anatomy, regardless of what they happen to be wearing. A third set of algorithms runs the subject's face through a turbulence model that seeks to undo the refractive effects of the choppy air on the light that comes into the camera. This returns the image gathered by the drone to a simulated undistorted state, from which a detailed mapping of the subject's features is then extracted. Once captured, the three biometric markers—gait, body shape and face—are fused into a combined profile. This profile can be matched to those of known individuals or, if the target is new, saved for future matching. The entire operation happens in about a third of a second, says Dr Liu. His team is working to scale down the system so that it could fit on a quadcopter Though it is still an experimental system, FarSight's early results are impressive. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), America's standards body, which has been rating facial-recognition systems for more than a decade, tested FarSight on a set of tricky low-resolution images and videos collected at hundreds of metres, in many cases from a high angle. FarSight outperformed all other systems tested on the same set. The project also illustrates how large vision models (LVMs), a variant of large language models, could be useful for surveillance. The MSU team used CLIP, a model made by OpenAI, to annotate images of thousands of subjects with textual descriptions—'Muscular-slender, long torso', 'Short torso', 'High-waisted', 'Low-waisted'—which it then used to train the body-shape reconstruction system. The gait-recognition feature is based on a different large vision model, called DINOv2, which was released last year by Meta. Dr Liu says that LVMs could have even broader applications in the years ahead. This is because LVMs achieve high-performance recognition without requiring big training-data sets, which are difficult and expensive to produce. FarSight's training and testing data, much of which were collected by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a scientific-research facility, consists of 876,000 videos and photos of about 3,000 subjects. An LVM, by comparison, is already pre-trained on billions of images and videos, and may require only minimal fine-tuning before it can be used for surveillance-video analytics. FarSight is not yet ready for the field. Although it outperforms other systems on long-range recognition, its accuracy, as well as its false-positive and false-negative rates, remain 'far behind the performance that would be required to make the system deployable', says Josef Kittler, a professor working on biometrics and computer vision at the University of Surrey, who was not involved in the research. The system has other limitations, too. A person's gait, for instance, can change drastically if they carry a heavy load or have suffered an injury, says Dr Kittler. In a second NIST test on a wider data set, FarSight was not the best performer. Dr Liu says that FarSight's performance also drops considerably if the camera's angle is very high, if the weather is warm (which causes fiercer turbulence) or if the distance to the target exceeds a kilometre. Should these shortcomings be resolved, though, it is not hard to imagine how such a system might end up overhead. According to contracting documents, IARPA is looking to create a technology not only for drones but any high or distant camera, such as those mounted on tall buildings or border-surveillance towers. The agency has noted that the outcomes of the programme—which is known as BRIAR and has at least one other active research team, led by an American company called Science and Technology Research—are also intended for 'protection of critical infrastructure and transportation facilities'. 'That implies its routine use on civilian populations,' says Jay Stanley at the American Civil Liberties Union, and 'creates serious risks of abuse and chilling effects on people's sense of freedom'. In cities like London or New York, where CCTV cameras are ubiquitous but not contiguous, whole-body recognition could help track individuals across long distances. Veritone, an American company, already markets a system that can match individuals according to such attributes as body shape and hairstyle. In May the company's boss, Ryan Steelberg, told MIT Technology Review, a magazine, that the tool could be useful in cities where facial recognition is banned. Those who take matters of privacy into their own hands might also find their personal powers of evasion diminished in the face of whole-body biometrics. Someone wishing to evade a tool like FarSight could no longer just rely on an outfit change or a big hat. They would also need to adjust their gait and, somehow, present a different body shape to cameras. In other words, Dr Liu says, 'the whole enchilada'. Curious about the world?

PhD scholar ignores governor, receives certificate from V-C in Tamil Nadu
TIRUNELVELI: A research scholar of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU) chose to receive her doctorate from Vice Chancellor M Chandrasekar, instead of Governor and Chancellor R N Ravi during the convocation ceremony on Wednesday. The scholar, Jean Joseph V, who is the wife of DMK's Nagercoil corporation deputy secretary M Rajan, said she did not want to receive the doctorate from the governor because 'he had not done anything for Tamil and Tamil Nadu'. The incident took place at the 32nd convocation of MSU in which the Governor, V-C, and Director of the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism AP Dimri, were to confer degrees on 109 graduates and 650 PhD scholars. When her turn came, Jean, who had been given the doctorate certificate in advance, walked past the governor, handed it to Chandrasekar, and posed with him for the photograph. Later, Jean said 'I believe in the Dravidian model. I thought why should I receive the degree from the governor who is against Tamil and Tamil Nadu. I came to know that Chandrasekar has also achieved a lot. I thought he would be the right person to receive the award from. There is no personal reason behind the refusal. "I ask our system do we not have the right persons, like the CM or the Minister for Higher Education, to confer the degree? I did not find any achievements of the governor for Tamil when I searched on Google,' she said. Her husband Rajan said the two decided well in advance not to accept the doctorate from the governor. Minister for Higher Education and pro-chancellor Govi Chezhiyaan did not attend the event. Former TN BJP president K Annamalai condemned Jean for her action.
