English

Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
  • Genetics
CONT

While aging or risk factors such as smoking cause common forms of macular degeneration, macular dystrophy is linked to genetic mutations that—for no apparent reason—trigger degradation of retinal cells. Some forms of macular dystrophy appear in childhood, and other forms appear in adulthood. However, it sometimes is difficult to distinguish common macular degeneration from inherited macular dystrophy because of the similarity of symptoms, including decreased visual acuity and loss of central vision.

OBS

Stargardt disease and Best disease are examples of macular dystrophies.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision
  • Génétique
CONT

Les dystrophies maculaires héréditaires (DMH) sont un groupe de maculopathies très hétérogènes cliniquement et génétiquement, à l'origine d'une baisse visuelle centrale bilatérale plus ou moins sévère. Elles peuvent se révéler dans l'enfance, mais aussi à l'âge adulte, ce qui mène parfois à des diagnostics erronés. [...] Une dystrophie maculaire héréditaire (DMH) doit être évoquée devant : un âge de début des symptômes avant 50 ans; une atteinte maculaire bilatérale concomitante et symétrique; une histoire familiale évocatrice de dystrophie rétinienne; après exclusion d'une cause toxique (antipaludéens de synthèse, tamoxifène, pentosan sodique...), inflammatoire ou dégénérative.

OBS

La maladie de Stargardt et la maladie de Best sont des exemples de dystrophies maculaires.

The Agricultural Meteorology Division of IMD is located at Pune. It maintains a network of agrometeorological observatories across the country with the cooperation of agricultural universities and research institutions. The Division provides technical assistance to the cooperating institutions for site selection, training of personnel, calibration of instruments and their maintenance, scrutiny of data, etc. Besides this, observations of evaporation, evapotranspiration soil moisture and dewfall are made at IMD's own observatories. The Central Agrimet Observatory at Pune and the agrimet observatories at Bangalore, Anand and Rahuri have many specialised instruments and facilties for research.

Subject field(s)
  • Shipbuilding Yards and Docks
CONT

With the recent installation of the current machine in the IMD(Institute of Marine Dynamics) Offshore Engineering Basin and industry's need to investigate the effects of structure in shallow water waves and current, there is a requirement to develop modeling technique in this area. This project will develop techniques for quantifying and improving shallow water waves and their interaction with current.

CONT

The Offshore Engineering Basin, illustrated in Figure 1, is a reinforced concrete structure 75 m in length, 32 m wide with a wall height of 4 m. Water levels may be varied up to a depth of 3.0 m. The entire basin, including the working area surrounding the basin, is serviced by a 5 tonne overhead crane. Waves are generated by means of a segment wave machine, of wet back design, in a fixed "L" configuration. Each segment supports a 2 m high by 0.5 m wide wave board. These segments are grouped together in sections of four and each section is vertically adjustable to accommodate water depths from 0.4 m to 3.0 m. Adjustments are made via electrically powered jacks. Each segment can be operated in five modes of articulation: flapper ("20 degrees), piston ("400 mm) or three combinations of flapper and piston. These modes optimise segment motion for generating waves in deep, shallow and intermediate water depths, respectively.

Domaine(s)
  • Chantiers maritimes
CONT

Les essais commenceront à l'automne et l'IMD utilisera chacune de ses trois principales installations, soit le bassin d'essais de carènes, le bassin d'essais pour brise-glaces et le bassin d'essais technique extracôtier. La première phase du programme, les essais de résistance à l'eau et de propulsion, comportera des essais sur modèle à l'échelle visant à mesurer les exigences en matière de résistance à l'eau et de propulsion de l'IPSDF pendant son transfert du chantier maritime au Canada. La phase deux, les essais en bassin pour brise-glaces, regroupera des essais sur la résistance à la glace. Au cours de ces essais, le modèle à l'échelle de l'IPSDF sera soumis à l'effet de banquises, de bergy bits et d'icebergs pour déterminer les forces de choc. Enfin, la troisième phase inclura essentiellement des essais contrôlés visant le désaccouplement et le réaccouplement de l'IPSDF dans un environnement simulant des vents, des vagues et des courants.
