Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Developed by Ferranti Edinburgh for remote sensor battlefield surveillance in 1985, the Phoenix unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was an unsuccessful attempt at providing the Army with a low cost reconnaissance capability. The aircraft was radio controlled, and had many novel features, including landing upside down on an air-cushioned plate that extended from the fuselage. It was designed to provide its operators with real time battlefield surveillance; i.e. it had a data downlink system to enable information to be processed as it was happening. The outer casing and wings were constructed entirely of plastic; the weight of the Phoenix was only 100 pounds. Development was eventually abandoned in favour of its competition because of its complexity.
Another shot from my very first-home developed roll of 120 film (Kodak Tri-X at 400 ISO, in Adonal).
The shots were taken using a Lubitel 166u. What happened was that I didn't fill the tank enough with developer/fixer (300ml instead of 500ml, don't ask why). Originally the shots were taken 6x4.5, but as one third of each shot didn't get developed/fixed, I had to crop almost a third of each negative. Other than that, it seems to have turned quite alright.

Developed and improved from the earlier F-105F in the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) role, otherwise known as 'Wild Weasel'. The F-105G was the definitive Wild Weasel Thud, they started to arrive in Southeast Asia in late 1967. As in the earlier F-105F, the F-105G carried a second crew member, a navigator trained as an Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO). Somewhat unkindly nicknamed 'Bears' (as in trained bear) or 'Gib' (guy in the back), the EWO's job was to use the aircraft's electronic warfare equipment to seek out and engage North Vietnamese Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites, and if possible destroy them. The EWO's were picked from the ranks of B-52 bomber aircrews, and were experts in radar and electronics. The relationships between the pilot and the EWO became extremely close, with each man relying on the other for survival. The F-105G was equipped with a large amount of new SEAD-specific avionics, including an upgraded RHAW (Radar Homing and Warning) system which required the redesign of the aircraft's wingtips. To free the outboard hardpoints for additional weapons, the Westinghouse AN/ALQ-105 electronic countermeasures were relocated and permanently installed in the two long blisters on the underside of the fuselage. Thirty aircraft were fitted with specially designed pylons to permit carriage of the AGM-78 Standard anti-radiation missile, a considerable improvement over the earlier AGM-45 Shrike. On a typical mission, the F-105G carried two Shrikes on the outboard pylons, a single Standard on the inboard pylon balanced by a 450 US gal (1,703 litre) fuel tank on the other side, and a 650 US gal (2,461 litre) centerline fuel tank. The 'Wild Weasels' were usually the first to arrive over the target area and the last to leave, staying after the strike to support the rescue of downed aircrews. Although the fighter-bomber version of the Thud, the F-105D, was withdrawn from Vietnam in 1970, the 'Wild Weasel' aircaraft served until the end of the war. Replaced by the 'Wild Weasel' version of the Phantom, the F-4G, the last Wild Weasel Thuds passed to Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units. The last F-105Gs were retired in 1983. This particular Thud wears the markings of the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, based at George AFB, California. In-between the jaws of the sharks mouth is the business end of the 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon, scary! She is displayed at Pima courtesy of the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson, AFB, Ohio.
Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour, a two-shaft low bypass turbofan aircraft engine, developed by Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Limited, a joint subsidiary of Rolls-Royce (UK) and Turbomeca (France). The engine is named after the Adour, a river in south western France.
The engines are fitted to the Bae Hawk and Goshawk, the Mitsubishi F-1 and the SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft.
The engines are Part of No 1 School of Technical Training (No 1 SoTT) at RAF Cosford, 238 Squadron along with a fleet of SEPECAT Jaguar GR1 and GR3 aircraft, which are used for Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic training.
ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Future:
- More charts
- Extension API
- Memory allocation tracking
- WebGL
We are looking for statically-typed language:
- Error checking
- Performance
- Superior minification
- Easy to write and read
- Easy to call from JS
Building
Custom build script:
- Compile
- Minify
- Extract documentation
- Embed customer data

3 May 2021. ADB has developed an approach to ensure that its operations address the specific challenges and requirements of Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCAS) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). ADB’s vision for a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific cannot be fully achieved if some countries remain fragile and vulnerable.
The FCAS and SIDS Approach was launched at a high-level panel on understanding the drivers of fragility in Asia and Pacific, how to address the needs in FCAS and SIDS, and the implications on development practices in the region.
