Mangaluru: Dr. SA Khan, an aerospace engineering expert from IIUM Malaysia, visited the BIT National Seminar Hall for an exciting event. Sponsored by IEEE Mangalore Subsection and the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), Dr. Khan gave a talk on "Numerical and Experimental Study of Passive Control in the Form of Ribs at Sonic and Supersonic Mach Numbers with the Application of Neural Networks."

Dr. Vasanth Kumar, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department, welcomed Dr. Khan warmly. 

The focus of the event was on aerospace engineering and using ribs for passive control at different speeds, from sonic to supersonic. Dr. Khan's presentation was packed with insights from his extensive experiments. He explored how ribs of different sizes - 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm - placed in various positions in the ducts, like 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D, affected things.

The event kicked off at 10:30 AM on September 22, 2023. The audience was diverse, with academics, researchers, and students all eager to dive into aerospace engineering and fluid mechanics. Dr. Khan's presentation was a hit, showcasing his deep knowledge and innovative ideas that have made him famous worldwide.

What made Dr. Khan's research stand out was his use of neural networks to understand passive control better in aerospace engineering. This added a cutting-edge twist, catching the attention of academics and industry experts alike.

BIT thanked Dr. SA Khan for his incredible contribution. The event was coordinated by Dr. Imran Mokashi from the Mechanical Engineering Department, ensuring it ran smoothly and allowed for meaningful discussions.

Tumakuru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said his recent remarks on the demolition of properties linked to those involved in narcotics trade were "misunderstood and misinterpreted".

His clarification follows remarks made two days ago on the government's uncompromising crackdown on the drug menace, including action against properties linked to foreign nationals allegedly involved in drug trafficking.

"It is unfortunate. It is taken in the wrong sense. I didn't mean that tomorrow itself I am going to send bulldozers and demolish the houses. That was not my intention. It was wrongly taken," he told reporters here.

Responding to Congress MLC K Abdul Jabbar's question in the legislative council on the growing drug menace in Bengaluru, Davangere and coastal districts, the minister on Thursday detailed the extensive enforcement measures initiated since the Congress government assumed office.

Pointing to the involvement of some foreign nationals, the minister had said, "Many foreign students from African countries have come to Karnataka. They are into the drug business. We catch them and register cases against them, but they want the case to be registered because once the case is registered, we cannot deport them."

"We have gone to the extent of demolishing the rented building where they stay," he had said.
