Taking the ties to a new level, India and Sri Lanka today inked a civil nuclear pact besides deciding to expand defence and security cooperation.
This was announced after the talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena during which both the leaders expressed commitment to find a solution to the emotive fishermen issue by adopting a constructive and humanitarian approach.
"The bilateral agreement on civil nuclear cooperation is yet another demonstration of our mutual trust. This is the first such agreement Sri Lanka has signed. It opens new avenues for cooperation, including in areas like agriculture and healthcare," Modi said in a joint press interaction with Sirisena.
Sirisena, who arrived here yesterday, has chosen India for his first foreign trip after assuming charge of the country. He had dethroned Mahinda Rajapaksa from his 10-year rule after a bitter Presidential poll.
The nuclear pact would facilitate cooperation in the transfer and exchange of knowledge and expertise, sharing of resources, capacity building and training of personnel in peaceful uses of nuclear energy, including use of radioisotopes, nuclear safety, radiation safety and nuclear security.

India hands over historic Dakota aircraft to Bangladesh
-
DHAKA: India has ceremonially handed over to Bangladesh a vintage Dakota aircraft, which played a crucial role in the country's 1971 liberation war.
The Dakota aircraft played a crucial role in the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan and formation of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF).
It was used for air dropping troops in Bangladesh's Tangail during the 1971 war.
"Air Marshal S B Deo, AOC-in-C, Eastern Air Command, Indian Air Force, formally handed over the Dakota (DC-3) aircraft to Bangladesh Air Force," a statement by the Indian high commission said here today.
The aircraft was flown in from New Delhi in a dismantled state in an IAF's C-17 Globemaster aircraft and then was re-assembled by IAF's technical team led by Wing Commander R Deshpande with the assistance of BAF.
The aircraft has been installed at the museum in Tejgaon here.
BAF began its journey during the 1971 liberation war with three aircraft, including Dakota, offered by India.
Primarily, a civil passenger plane, the Dakota was converted into a war plane which the freedom fighters used for a crucial para drop operations in central Tangail on December 11, 1971.
The Dakota aircraft has special significance for BAF as BAF started its journey from Nagaland, Dimapur on September 28 in 1971 with the establishment of 'K' flight which possessed one Dakota DC-3, one Otter aircraft and one Alluette helicopter.

Newton knew how water rise in plants defies gravity
-
LONDON: English physicist Isaac Newton very nearly uncovered the secret of how plants defy gravity by pulling water up from roots, almost 200 years before the process was described by botanists, new research has shown.
David Beerling from the University of Sheffield, UK, reviewed an old notebook filled with scrawlings by Newton.
Beerling described in the journal Nature Plants that Newton kept a notebook during his college years which he used for jotting down ideas and musings.
One of those was apparently an idea to help explain how it is that plants are able to pull water from the ground via roots and transport it up through stalks and stems to their leaves - defying gravity in the process, 'Phys.org' reported.
Newton suggested in his notebook that light pulled water particles from pores in plant leaves - as "juices" beneath flowed in naturally to refill the pore, juices from below were pulled upward.
This idea is not far from what is the commonly excepted explanation for plant transpiration today - where water is pulled up a plant from roots and evaporates out of leaves, causing tension due to unequal pressure.
The current theory came about by botanists working in 1885, approximately 200 years after Newton was writing in his notebook.

3 Indians in 100 shortlisted for one way trip to Mars
-
Three Indians, two women and one man, have made it to the list of 100 applicants who will move on to the next round of an ambitious private mission that aims to send four people on a one-way trip to Mars in 2024.
From the initial 202,586 applicants, only 100 hopefuls have been selected to proceed to the next round of the Mars One Astronaut Selection Process, The Netherlands-based non-profit organisation Mars One has announced.
The project aims to set up a human colony on Mars and eventually around 40 people will be sent to the red planet on a permanent basis. The finalists will train for seven years and Mars One will begin sending out four at a time from 2024.
The Mars 100 Round Three candidates include 50 men and 50 women with 39 from the Americas, 31 from Europe, 16 from Asia, 7 from Africa, and 7 from Oceania.
The Indian candidates include 29-year-old Taranjeet Singh Bhatia, who is studying Doctorate in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida.
The other two are Ritika Singh, 29, who lives in Dubai, and Shradha Prasad, 19, from Kerala.
The second round of the application process last year had shortlisted 44 Indians, of whom 27 were men and 17 were women.
The third round has selected 100 candidates from a pool of 660 after they participated in personal online interviews with Norbert Kraft, Chief Medical Officer.
During the interviews the candidates had a chance to show their understanding of the risks involved, team spirit and their motivation to be part of the life changing expedition.
"We were impressed with how many strong candidates participated in the interview round, which made it a very difficult selection," said Kraft.
The next selection rounds will focus on composing teams that can endure all the hardships of a permanent settlement on Mars.
The candidates will receive their first shot at training in the copy of the Mars Outpost on Earth and will demonstrate their suitability to perform well in a team.

UN official uses wrong India map; parts of J&K missing
-
An incorrect map of Jammu and Kashmir was presented by a top UN official today at a water summit here to discuss the sanitation situation in India.
The territory of India bordering Pakistan and China in Jammu and Kashmir was not part of the map shown by Sue Coates, chief of WASH UNICEF India, to tell the proportion of population defecating in open in the country.
When contacted, a UN official said, "it was not at all intentional".
Later, Caroline den Dulk Chief Communication, UNICEF India, told PTI in an e-mail, "The map used for the purpose if from an article used by another organisation and is certainly not to-scale. Therefore it may have appeared to you that the state of J&K is incorrectly displayed which was not at all our focus or purpose."
Coates made the presentation at the opening session of the 'India Wash Summit' organised by the WaterAid, a global NGO working to transform lives by improving access to safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities.
The panelists of the opening session included bureaucrats, social activists, academicians and bank representatives.
They discussed some of the opportunities and challenges in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector in India, focusing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious Swacch Bharat Mission.
Coates completed the presentation just few minutes ahead of arrival of Rural Development Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh. Singh launched the three-day 'India Wash Summit' along with many dignitaries including Coates by floating diyas in a vessel filled with water.

New aggressive form of HIV accelerates AIDS
-
LONDON: A new aggressive form of HIV can progress to AIDS in just three years - so rapidly that patients may not even realize they were infected, scientists say.
Engaging in unprotected sex with multiple partners increases the risk of contracting multiple strains of HIV. Once inside a host, these strains can recombine into a new variant of the virus, researchers said.
One such recombinant variant observed in patients in Cuba appears to be much more aggressive than other known forms of HIV, researchers said. Before it can enter human cells, HIV must first anchor itself to them. The virus does this via anchor points, or co-receptors, which are proteins on the cell membrane.
In a normal infection, the virus first uses the anchor point CCR5. In many patients, after a number of healthy years, the virus then switches to the anchor point CXCR4. This co-receptor switch coincides with a faster progression to AIDS.
Researchers at KU Leuven's Laboratory for Clinical and Epidemiological Virology in Belgium have described a recombinant form of HIV observed in patients in Cuba that makes this transition much faster. The virus targets the anchor point CXCR4 early after infection, shortening drastically the healthy phase and triggering rapid progression to AIDS.
The transition from anchor point CCR5 to CXCR4 is normally very difficult. Researchers suspect that the rapid transition observed in this HIV recombinant occurs as a result of combining fragments from different HIV subtypes.

International Seminar ‘Aerospace Vision: 2050’ Gets Underway
-
As a prelude to the start of the biennial, internationally acclaimed air show – Aero India 2015 – beginning February 18, a three-day International Seminar ‘Aerospace: Vision 2050’ got underway at Bengaluru, today.
Organised by Defence R&D Organisation (DRDO) of the Ministry of Defence in association with Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI), the intense technical seminar sets the tone to dwell and exchange ideas on matters that converge on ‘needs of the times’ in the ever-emerging realm of aerospace, both military and civil.
Minister of State (Defence) Shri Rao Inderjit Singh who presided over the inaugural event recounted the outcomes and achievements of ‘India’s Aerospace Technology Plans’ and its implementation, describing it as ‘very rewarding’.
From ISRO’s successful Mars Exploration Spacecraft programme including the ‘Mars Orbiter Mission’ to DRDO’s successful test-firing of Agni series of surface-to-surface Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) found a notable mention in his address.
Lauding the recent successful launch of Agni-V on February 1, with a range of over 5,000 km and capable of carrying a warhead of over one tonne, he said: ‘The Agni-V is a major addition to the country’s strategic strike capability’.
Among the other notable DRDO achievements that found a mention included ‘Nirbhay’, the indigenously developed sub-sonic long-range cruise missile, Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW & C) system and Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) ‘Tejas’ among others.
In a notable first, the seminar also has a special theme in its tenth edition inviting nations to ‘Make in India’ for mutual benefit through joint ventures. The large-scale economic initiative encompasses infrastructural sectors in aviation, space, defence systems, airport infrastructure, defence engineering, renewable energy and thermal power amongst other civilian sectors.
The ‘Make in India’ economic programme launched by the Prime Minister opens up opportunities for innovative minds to exploit the globally evolving spirit of ‘teaming up’ and ‘pooling resources’, the MoS said to an audience comprising over 800 delegates including 15 foreigners.
Earlier, MoS for Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Shri GM Siddeshwara while speaking on the occasion described the various indigenously developed systems in aerospace as symbols of ‘Indian Prowess’ in the aerospace arena.
Among other dignitaries present on the occasion included Distinguished Scientist and DG (Aero), Dr K Tamilmani, CMD Bharat Electronics Limited, Shri SK Sharma and CMD Hinduatan Aeronautics Limited, Shri T Suvarna Raju and Distinguished Scientist and Programme Director, AEW & C and Centre for Airborne Systems, Dr S Christopher.
A ‘Seminar Souvenir’ and a special issue on ‘Airworthiness and Certification’ were also released during the event.

Soon, synthetic vaccine to fight polio
-
Researchers are developing a novel synthetic polio vaccine to combat the debilitating disease.
Scientists from the UK and US are using a technology that helped in the design of a new synthetic vaccine to fight the foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) to target the virus that causes polio.
The novel vaccine would provide a powerful weapon in the fight to rid the world of polio, and this project is being funded by a 438,000 pounds grant from the World Health Organisation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The synthetic vaccine is currently being engineered in collaboration with Professor Dave Stuart at the UK's national synchrotron science facility, Diamond Light Source, and the University of Oxford, and colleagues.
The team's hope is to create a vaccine that does not contain the viral genome but instead 'mimics' the structure of the live virus.
Such a vaccine would be quicker, easier and safer to produce, researchers said.
Even after the apparent global elimination of poliomyelitis it will be necessary to continue vaccination as a precaution against reintroduction of the virus from hidden sources, such as rare chronically infected carriers.
A synthetic vaccine would fulfil this role without the inherent danger of accidental release of virus associated with the production of current vaccines.
Eventually such vaccines could pave the way to completely eliminating the necessity to vaccinate.
"We've begun the task of gathering crystal structures and electron microscopy images that will tell us what we need to know to stabilise the shell of the virus and engineer a strong vaccine that has the ability to bring about the desired immune response in humans," said Stuart, Life Sciences Director at Diamond Light Source, and Professor of Structural Biology at Oxford University.
"Following on from the success we've had with the foot and mouth disease vaccine, we aim to transfer the approach to vaccines for other viruses including polio. Early results with polio are very promising, with synthetic particles being produced and evidence of successful stabilisation," said Stuart.
"Using the latest technology, we can engineer vaccines that are billions of times smaller than a pinhead, we can track viruses as they interact with living cells, and we can glean the detailed information required to look at pathogens and then design better therapies against them," Stuart added.

A week Long Wet Spell Over Western Himalayan Region
-
Continuous fairly widespread to widespread precipitation over Western Himalayan region without any significant break and isolated to scattered rain/thunderstorms are predicted to occur over plains of northwest India, commencing from tomorrow (17 February) for about a week with a possible break of one to two days in between.
Currently a western disturbance as a trough in mid-level westerlies lies along Longitude 65.0 o East and north of 25.0o North. Its induced low pressure area lies over central Pakistan & adjoining west Rajasthan with associated upper air cyclonic circulation extending upto 1.5 km above mean sea level.
Analysis of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), Satellite data and conventional & automatic observations suggests that there are two other western disturbances also which would affect Western Himalayan Region in quick succession, one from 19-21 and another from 22-24 February 2015.
These systems are likely to cause such precipitation.
Heavy rainfall/snowfall is also predicted to occur mainly on 19, 22, 23 & 24 February 2015 over Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh
