From the Director’s DeskGreetings from NIT Jalandhar!Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has established thirty one National Institute of Technologies to impart quality technical education, to pursue research activities in niche areas of technology, to innovate, to create new knowledge. Dr B R Ambedkar, National Institute of Technology is one of the premier NITs in the country and is known for imparting Quality Technical Education, to take up research in frontier areas of technology and to create new knowledge. Our main focus has been quality. I would like to bring to your knowledge the latest developments that has taken place in the institute in this regard.

The faculty is the backbone of any institute and in last three years efforts have been made to attract quality faculty. More than 110 faculty members have been recruited so far in various departments in last couple of years and the total faculty strength has increased more than double in three years.

We have introduced two new B Tech programmes and five new M Tech programmes. NIT Jalandhar offers research (PhD) in sixteen major disciplines of Engineering, Science, Humanities and Management. We offer eleven UG programmes with intake of 1137 per year (Initial intake of 100 UG students), fourteen M Tech programmes with intake of 540 per year (started in 2006 with intake of 100 students). This year institute has enrolled 124 research scholars in different departments. The publication data of the faculty since 2017 has shown an exponential growth in the number and quality of papers published in reputed national and international journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and SCI. The number of publications in the year 2017, 2018 and 2019 is 230, 430 and 383, respectively.

Recently, the major developments have been accreditation of all UG programmes, liberal funding for establishment of research laboratories, liberal funding for construction of new infrastructure, redesigning of campus master plan, completion of four major buildings, providing funds for research to faculty and students under TEQIP-III grant. There has been great thrust to increase internal revenue generation. The major steps taken for this is introduction of self sponsored seats in M Tech programmes, consultancy, introduction of minor degree concept, introduction of PG diploma and summer internship. It is expected that internal revenue generation will increase by at least 2 crores per year through these initiatives. A lot of emphasis has been given to collaborate in recent past. The collaborations have been both National and International. In the recent years, we have collaborated with institutions like IIT Mandi, NIT Delhi in India and with University of Florence, Italy, France, at international level. We share research facilities with our collaborators to bring the best quality research. Further we are in process of collaborating with IIT Mumbai, University of Missouri, Kansas, USA and few other international Universities.

The institute is not only imparting quality technical education & research to the students but also inculcate entrepreneur skills amongst the students. For this purpose the institute has established Technology Business Incubation Centre at the total cost of Rs. 2.71 crores grant received from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and has also established Space Technology Incubation Centre in liaison with ISRO. Institute has received 21 proposals from incubatees for starting new start-ups and has also received 12 proposals for Space Technology Business Incubation Centre.

Together with our quality faculty, research scholars and staff we are producing quality research and new knowledge and I feel privileged to work with this committed community of scholars and practitioners.

This maiden attempt of bringing the R & D newsletter of the institute is a step towards increasing the outreach of the institute. We have initiated allocation of grants to the students of the institute under TEQIP-III to inculcate research culture among them. With the efforts of our faculty and students the day is not far when NIT Jalandhar will be world known hub of research in northern India. I would like to acknowledge the support and guidance of Secretary MHRD Sh R Subrahmanyam, IAS and Additional Secretary Sh S S Sandhu, IAS for improving quality of teaching-learning and research at the institute.

Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!

ONGOING R & D PROJECTS

Dr Jatinder Kumar RatanAssociate ProfessorDepartment of Chemical EngineeringE-mail: [email protected]

Development of a cementitious binder having self-cleaning property is the need of the hour in order to enhance the aesthetic durability of cementitious materials, particularly those based upon white cement. Most of the external building walls get soiled from automobile exhaust

gases, dirt, soot and other pollutants. By the use of self-cleaning cement, the dirt of the wall can be easily washed away by rain due to super-hydrophilicity effect, keeping the external building walls clean and maintained for a very long time.The de-soiling and de-polluting abilities of the self-cleaning cement arise from the photocatalytic properties of the cement. When exposed to solar rays, self-cleaning cement leads to photo-induced oxidation of various organic pollutants (either solids: desoiling; or gaseous: air depolluting) deposited on the surface. The objective of the present R & D project is to evaluate the possibility of use of micro-sized materials to produce economical self-cleaning cement, which can react and remove smog, pollutants, and dirt particles in the presence of sunlight.

Design and Synthesis of β-Carboline Based Therapeutically Potential Molecular Architectures via Exploration of Chemselectivity of Aldo-X Bifunctional Building Blocks (AXB3s).

Development of New Platform for A3-Coupling and other Multicomponent Reactions towards Drug-Like Molecules using Transition Metal Catalysis.

It has been estimated that -carboline alkaloids account for nearly one quarter of total natural products being ubiquitously present in plants, marine organisms, insects, mammals including human tissues and body fluids. Most of these natural as well as synthetic -carboline derivatives

exhibit anticancer properties by intercalating into DNA, inhibiting CDKs, topo I & II, PLK, MK-2, IKK and binding with high affinity to other receptors involved in cell proliferation. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the world and accounts for 12.5% of deaths but successful treatment of cancer remains a big challenge. The development of multidrug resistance and drug induced toxicity are the major barriers in cancer chemotherapy. The failure to achieve the desired therapeutic efficacy with existing agents warrants the development of novel bioactive molecules. Recent studies show that combination chemotherapy is adopted to treat cancer. Much emphasis has been given for the development of new molecular hybrids containing two pharmacophores which interact differently with the receptor and have dual mechanism of action. The rationale behind this concept of molecular hybridization is that hybrid molecules may offer better affinity and efficacy, modified selectivity profile, different and/or dual modes of action with reduced undesired effects. Therefore, the aim of this endeavor is the development of novel -carboline based molecular hybrids as anticancer agents.

Design and Development of Junctionless Nanowire TFET Biosensor

As conventional MOSFET has proved inefficient to deliver required performance in the nanoscale domain, Novel semiconductor devices have been proposed for low power and high-performance applications. For the technology innovation perspective, we have chosen Nanowire tunnel field effect transistor (TFET), which have high Ion/Ioff current ratio, low leakage current and steeper sub threshold slope as compared to the MOSFET. As Nanowire TFET is a heavily doped device so problem concerning heavily doped devices is the performance degradation of the device due to random dopant fluctuations (RDFs). Due to RDFs, threshold voltage of the device varies which increases the leakage currents of the device. However, for band to band tunneling to occur it requires abrupt junctions and creating abrupt junctions is not an easy task. So in order to overcomes the aforementioned problems, a doping-less (charge plasma based) techniques have been investigated.

Semi-leptonic, Radiative and Non-leptonic Rare B Decays in the Light Front Quark Model

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

Dr Harleen Dahiya Associate Professor & HeadDepartment of PhysicsEmail: [email protected]

Abstract: The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics comprises the current knowledge about the interaction between the quarks and leptons and is subject to several experimental high precision tests. In particular, the decays of the b quark have been the subject of studies in the

search of new physics as it is the heaviest of the quarks forming relatively stable bound states and decaying at a measurable distance from where they are produced. The B decays play an important role in determining the parameters of the SM and some hadronic parameters in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) such as Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the meson decay constants. The rare B decays proceeding through b \to s flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) transitions provide particularly sensitive probes for physics beyond SM and have the potential of revealing the existence of new couplings not present in the SM. Light cone wave functions (LCWFs) are of great interest in the present time since they represents the bound state structure of a relativistic composite system in quantum field theory. The study of B mesons continues to be one of the most productive fields in particle physics and we are entering into an era of precision flavor physics, requiring experimentalists and theorists to focus on reducing statistical errors and employing multiple cross checks to further quantify systematic uncertainties. In the present work, we propose to investigate the rare B decays using the overlap representation in terms of LCWFs and calculate the transition form factors, differential and total decay branching fractions, CKM matrix elements, CP violation for the rare semileptonic, radiative and non-leptonic B decays. Even though the two asymmetric B factory experiments Belle and BaBar have firmly established CP violation in many decays of B mesons and have also observed many rare b \rightarrow u transitions and b \rightarrow s (d) penguin decays, many fundamental questions in flavor sector remain unanswered. The LHC accelerator has performed very well in 2011 and 2012. LHCb has also presented some new results and decay channels. The next generation B factory experiments will make it possible to explore the evidences of new physics beyond SM in the heavy-flavor particles.

Measurement of Radon, Thoron and their Progeny Distribution in the Different Types of Houses and Natural Radioactivity in Soil in Hanumangarh, Churu and Sri Ganganagar Districts of Rajasthan.

Abstract: During recent years, radon/thoron monitoring has become a global phenomenon due to its deleterious health effects on population. Radon/ thoron in the environment, soil, groundwater, oil and gas deposits contribute the largest fraction of natural dose to general

public. The present work is intended to carry out simultaneous measurement of radon, thoron and their progeny in different types of houses. Furthermore, we propose to analyse the factors affecting progeny behaviour in indoor environment, indoor source terms and establish the equilibrium factor.Also natural terrestrial radio nuclides in soils, belonging to 232Th and 238U series as well as radioisotope of potassium 40K are the main sources of gamma radiation dose which contribute to the outdoor terrestrial natural radiation. The knowledge of distribution and levels of radio nuclides in the environment is important for assessing the effects of radiation exposure.

Abstract: Passive nuclear track detectors (CR- 39, LR-115) has been widely used for estimation of indoor 222Rn level due to their high portability, time integrated measurement results and no use of power supply like features. 220Rn was neglected in the past studies due to its shorter half – life and lack of measuring instruments. In the present Project, an attempt has been made to estimate 222Rn, 220Rn and their attached and unattached progeny along with equilibrium factors separately using pin- hole based dosimeters and deposition based 222Rn and 220Rn progeny sensors (DRPS/ DTPS) in Mansa, Muktsar, Bathinda and Faridkot districts of Punjab, India. In this project an attempt has been made to estimate the season wise 222Rn, 220Rn, their equilibrium factors and annual effective dose received by the residents of studied area. These findings and inference have led to a renewed interest in the subject of radon studies. Most importantly, it has given impetus to large scale radon mapping programme aimed at delineating population exposures to estimate the magnitude of radon risk in population.

Design of Instrument for Positive Thread Feeding in Lockstitch Sewing Machine

During high speed sewing, the needle thread is exposed to dynamic loading, short strike loading, inertia forces, friction, rubbing due to pressure of the disc tensioner during the stitch formation and force of check spring, together with bending, pressure, friction, impact, shock and thermal

influence, which bring about more or less severe thread deformation. The greatest tension (around 300cN) in the needle thread occurs when the take up lever pulls the required thread length through the tension regulator for the stitch forming, also known as tightening tension. This tightening tension along with abrasion, thermal loading occurs on the thread repeatedly for 50-80 times before it gets incorporated into the seam. A number of researchers observed 30-40% loss in needle thread strength after sewing. Further, the seam strength and seam performance is dependent on the strength of threads. The positive thread feed mechanism has lowered the tightening tension and hence reduced the damage to the needle thread. The needle thread passes through all the machine parts repeatedly but at a lower level of tension and therefore the damage in the thread is reduced.

analyzing the shock force at test specimen by varying the impact load. It will help in designing the better parachute fabric and seam, which can bear high impact load without wasting the whole time and energy in preparing the parachute and then subjecting it to destructive testing. Likewise in many field of applications as indicated in Figure, study of impact loading on fabric is important to designing and development of technical textiles in different fields of applications. The proposed instrument will have the flexibility of measuring the performance characteristics of yarns/threads and all type of technical fabrics under impact loading. This will help in developing improved technical textiles in different field of application as highlighted above.

Designing of Fabric Wet Abrasion Tester

The textile material is usually subjected to various wear forces, abrasion is among one of them. The resistance of textile materials to abrasion as measured on a testing machine in the laboratory is generally only one of several factors contributing to wear performance or durability as experienced in the actual use of the material. Abrasion is a serious problem for apparels, home textiles like carpets and upholstery fabrics, socks and technical textiles as well. The abrasion may occur in flat, edge, or flex form and also occur in various conditions like dry, semi wet, wet condition. Presently, evaluation of abrasionis generally accomplished by abrading the test specimen in multi-direction. Further, methodology followed in wet abrasion in few commercial test apparatus is prone to error, as maintaining uniform level of water over the time duration is difficult. Therefore, an ingenious test apparatus is being proposed which can provide unidirectional (for analysingroleofdirectionaleffect) and multidirectional abrasionis possiblein a single set up. Further, it would be also possible to test specimen in dry, semi-wet and wet condition.
