PANDORIAN LANGUAGE I.

In this post: 1. History of the runes in SSL and SSO 2. Constructing the language 3. Place in the story

1. HISTORY OF PANDORIAN RUNES IN SSL AND SSO SSL stone circle map: 10 pillars, but the runestones weren’t uniform in length and a lot of them were mirrored or reversed with the same sequence of runes. -> orange: 1. and 3. are the same.  7. and 6. are also, but reversed and shortened -> green: 2. is the same as 8. but mirrored, minus the uppermost symbol, 4. is reversed -> violet: 9. and 10. are the same, 5. is reversed

SSO stone circle map: The base rune (star, sun, moon, lighting) has been mirrored. Still 10 pillars, now they are 8 characters long each. We have 3 different sequences with none reversed or mirrored, so we will mainly use these runes for the alphabet. -> pink: 1, 3, 9, basically the same as green -> yellow: 2, 4, 6, same as orange -> blue: 5, 7, 8 and 10, basically the same as violet with little changes

Other SSO runestones : -> The ones next to the Sleeping Willow are two broken parts of the runestone yellow and one big chunk of pink. -> The narrow, older looking 8 character stones are the same as pink. -> The wider, 5 character stones are using symbols from pink, yellow and blue, but mirrored and reversed. -> The triangle runestone next to Fort Pinta is newer, made by a new artist, who only vaguely looked at the old runes. It uses some of the same symbols, but there are also 2 futhark runes in there (Gebo and Wunjo) which can’t be found on any other stones. Also the shape of the stone is unlike the other megaliths. Thus we assume that this was not done by someone who knows the proper Pandorian magic language (probably the early norse settlers of Jorvik meddled with it). It still reacts to MC’s presence, because it is made of stones from Pandoria.

Pandorian magic: -> Pandorians (like Ydris) can use it like sorcerers, with hand gestures and whatever they like. -> Non-Pandorians have to use materials from Pandoria (usually rocks) and carve the correct magic language on them to make magic happen. -> Jorvik has a lot of Pandoric stones from the meteor shower that happened in the past (because of the war

2. CONSTRUCTING THE LANGUAGE -> In the war with Garnok in Pandoria, when the aetherians came to help against him, the language of magic and of the resistance to evil became Pandorian. -> We assume, that aetherian and umbrasyan names are spelled in Pandorian. Thus the Pandorian words we have, that are gonna be used as a basis of the language are  the names Aideen (English spelling)- Ēyden (phonetic Pandorian), Pandoria – Pandōria, Fripp- Fripp, Garnok- Garnok.

Some grammar: -> Word order: SVO (Subject – Verb – Object), just like English and Swedish -> No conjugation -> Writing goes down in a coloumn -> The language is very melodic, with little to no harsh sounds.

-> RUNIC ALPHABET BASED ON the symbols on the runestones:

Different from English sounds: A (ɒ), E (ɛ), Ā (aː), Ē (eː), Ī (i:), Ō (o:), Ū (u:).

3. PLACE IN THE STORY -> Most runestones in their current state have no function to deter the forces of evil and act as defence. In SSO Rewritten, we have the Life Warden tree named Astral Crown protecting the Secret Stone Circle (SSC) from the forces of evil, preventing them from entering (except through a portal), so the runestones of SSC also have no function in this state (they are just ceremonial aka pretty).

-> SSO Rewritten: In Springvalley Phase 1- “Resurrection”, we get access to all of Pandoria and cleanse it, we farm the max reputation with the Pandoria faction led by Ydris. In Phase 2- “The Violet Fog” is the first time we meet Elise, when she chases MC through Jorvik. MC flees into the SSC, where Astral Crown stops Elise from entering it.

The new Runestone Questline takes place in the end of Phase 2, after Elise, but before we enter Spring Valley in Phase 3.

-> MC gets a message, that Fripp wants to meet you in the SSC. He tells you that you all have to prepare for the war to come, Elise is going to be a tough enemy. The druids have to bolster their defences the best they can, and the first step is to strengthen the SSC. The runestones around the circle only had ceremonial purposes, but now you have to make them into proper magic runes, that will protect the place. You should go talk to Ydris about how to use the Pandorian language as a magic weapon.

-> Linda comes with you. MC and Linda meet Ydris, he sends you all over the renewed Pandoria to look at runestones. You get a new page in your notebook labelled Pandorian language. You have to collect the drawings on all of the runestones in Pandoria. After you find one, you go to Ydris, who tells you the meaning (+pandorian phonetic). Once you collected all of the runestones and meanings, you unlock the last page, which is the Pandorian runic and phonetic alphabet.

-> MC and Linda return to SSC, where Fripp, the druids and other SRs are already waiting for them. Talk about which runes should be used where. MC has to choose the correct runes to be carved in the 10 stones.

-> For the SSC, they decide to remake the runestones with the help of Conrad. MC is tasked to meet him, offer the job and bring Conrad to SSC. He will work on the project for 10 day (a day for each of the stones). You have to complete the quest he gives you each day for him to finish a stone. Those will be simple, fun, fetching quests: he needs a special carving tool from Stonecutter’s Vault, needs you to check out a stone in Pandoria again to make sure the shape of the rune is correct, wants a dessert from Aideen’s plaza, etc. You get the stuff he wants and he will get to work. The next day, your first quest is to use your magic to activate the runestone he made the previous day. After that you get the usual fetch quest, get him his stuff, he gets to work, next day you activate the runestne, and so on.

-> While this is going on, MC will also be going around Jorvik, looking for all the old, not working runestones. You will need to carve them into one of the Pandorian words you learned. For each quest, you need to grab the carving tools and find the runestone. Once you click it, it will give you a pop up menu IN PANDORIAN about what you want to carve. Using your notebook you have to choose the correct thing to carve- For example, it will give you the runic options for “leaf”, “blue”, “defence” and “laughter”. If you choose the wrong one, you get a funny punishment: if you choose blue, the stone turns blue, if you choose leaf, a bush grows around the stone, and if you choose laughter, MC will keep laughing. You have to choose defence (after you figured out the correct rune combination). You replace every not working runestone in Jorvik this way with a useful inscription, which keeps evil forces away from the area.

-> After 10 days, Conrad is done. When you return to SSC, you activate the last runestone and the whole circle flares up with magic. Astral Crown awakens and thanks you for waking her by giving her enough power and helping her protect the Circle.

-> You get the usual item + lots of money reward PLUS since this is the end of the Springvalley - Phase 2 questline, you also get 100 SC, just like in the end of each of the phases in SSO Rewritten.

Finite Element Analyses in the Tunnel: An Overview-Iris Publishers

Authored by  Buse Şeyda Hocaoğlu*

Abstract

With the development of the world and human beings’ rush to get somewhere, the need for tunneling has increased. Solutions have been made with the methods of end-to-end elements searched for a more straightforward resolution and visual thinking of tunnel projects that are complex and difficult to foresee. Thanks to these methods, geotechnical problems have been more easily detecting, and solutions have been producing in a short time. Several finite element methods have been developed in line with technology development and research. In this study, Plaxis, Flac, ABAQUS, Diana, Midas GTS NX programs, which are some of these programs, were briefly introduced, and tunnel projects solved with the mentioned programs were given

Keywords:Finite element method; Tunnel project; Plaxis 2D/3D; Flac 2D/3D; Geotechnical

Introduction

The finite element method is a numerical method that thoroughly solves mixed engineering problems. It was first developed and used in 1956 for stress analysis of aircraft bodies. It has been understood that it can also solve engineering and applied sciences problems in the following years. Over the years, the finite element method and solution techniques have developed rapidly and have become one of the best methods used to solve many problems today. The method is so popular for many engineering areas because a generic computer program can only solve any problem by changing the input data. By separating it into finite elements suitable for the structure of a problem, it implements a solution method in the form of a low energy level of internal and external forces on the obtained elements and then combining these elements. As a result, the system’s features, border conditions, sudden or continuous changes of external loads can be easily examined. It is also possible to reduce the element sizes in the constant system’s desired parts for the detailed examination of a region [1,2]. It can list the advantages of finite element methods: geometry allows complex problems to be solved, easily applicable in systems with different and complex material properties, easy to include border conditions in the fundamental equations of the system, and the use of the same model to solve many problems [2]. The disadvantages of the finite element method can be listed; found that the accuracy of the result obtained depends on the accuracy of the data, that the separation of regions requires experience to get an acceptable correct result, and that the accuracy of the result obtained is observed, and that the physical problem must be investigated well [2]. The finite element method has been used for 30 years in many engineering areas and was introduced in geotechnical engineering in 1996. The most important reason for this is that geotechnical engineering has complex issues and takes time to solve them. When used correctly, this method can provide accurate results for practical geotechnical engineering problems. A good analysis allows the engineer to understand the problem better [3]. The Finite element method can be applied to any linear-elastic medium. However, it requires many limitations for the implementation of the method in geotechnical engineering problems. In the method, material behavior is formulated by associating with changes between shape changes and total stress. In contrast, in geotechnical problems, the total tensor is decompressed into cavity water pressures and effective stresses, and material behavior is often expressed in terms of effective stresses. Most of the Geotechnical problems are interacting with the structure and the ground. Therefore, in analyzing these types of problems, it is necessary to use an intermediate surface between the structure and the soil. As a result, it is required to make changes to correctly apply the finite component method in geotechnical engineering [2]. To get a realistic result in analyzing finite elements for geotechnical engineering problems, the procedures are carried out step by step (phased loading, phased excavation). There are two benefits to ensuring that analysis can be performed in stages. First, the geometry changes at each step if the analyzes add or remove the padding. The change in geometry can be modeled by adding or removing elements from the network of end elements. Secondly, in the analysis, the ground properties change at each loading stage due to the change of stresses in the soil mass [2]. As a result of the study of finite elements in geotechnical engineering problems, parameters such as stresses, cavity water pressures, lateral and vertical movements, and groundwater flow are determined [1]. Today, programs used in finite element methods are used in many areas, such as ground mechanics, fluid mechanics, aircraft engineering, nuclear engineering, rock mechanics, etc. It can be studied by selecting the program that will give the most realistic results for problems. Examples of these programs include Plaxis 2D/3D, FLAC 2D/3D, ABAQUS, Diana, Midas GTS.

Methods

Plaxis 2D/3D

Plaxis 2D/3D, one of the finite element’s programs, is a program developed to analyze geotechnical engineering problems. The program consists of an input program, calculation program where analysis is performed, output program that graphically presents the study results, and curve program that enables the creation of the desired chart with the results obtained (Figure 1). This program is used to design projects where deformation and stabilization analyzes are needed, strain-shifting, ground structure interaction, loading conditions, carrying power, consolidation, current network, ground dynamics, and material are varied and bring real-life results [4]. According to the method of finite, a continuous environment is divided into many elements. The node points on each element have a degree of freedom. During the creation of a network of finite elements in the Plaxis program, the cells are divided into triangular elements with 6 or 15 nodes (Figure 2). Even if it takes a little more time to calculate the stresses and migration surfaces more realistically, it is better to select the 15-node element. The displacement is calculated at node points during the finite element calculation [4] (Figures 1,2).

Under the main heading Plaxisde Material Sets, the floor and structural members (Soil & Interface, anchor, Beam, and Geotextile) can be defined. The Plaxis program has several floor models, such as Mohr-Coulomb (MC), Hardening Soil (Model-HS), soft Soil Creep (Model-SSC), which are widely used for analyzing floor mechanics problems (Figure 3) [4].

Flac

FLAC is a program that uses the use of a finite element type to numerically or numerically examine the mechanical behavior of continuous media in equilibrium or progressive plastic yield. In the program, creating a network of finite differences defined by the user via elements can detect the behavior of materials such as ground and rock at the level of plastic flux. Every element behaves by the previously specified linear or non-linear stress-shape defining feature against forces applied under boundary conditions [6]. Thanks to the intermediate surface formulation in the software, the interaction between two sonly differences networks that are interconnected but are likely to divest or slide along a surface, such as a fault structure, can also be modeled. Hydrostatic pressure used in liquefies research or design of dams is carried out by applying fluid mechanics formulation. Structural elements are used to model entities such as anchors and flooring nails. In addition to all these, it is possible to perform realistic modeling with this software by applying static and dynamic boundary conditions. Although FLAC has been developed for Geotechnical engineering applications, it is also widely used in many research areas such as mining engineering, underground structures, and rock mechanics (Figure 4) [6].

The use of the FLAC finite element program in some engineering applications is as follows:

1. Calculation of transport capacities and deformations according to ground and loading conditions in the design of slope and foundations.

2. In the ground structures, calculate the safety coefficient in the stability analysis of fillers and slope.

3. Assessing the fault structure and impact of the interest structure in mining research projects.

4. Design of floor anchorages, rock bullion, ground nail, and support systems in geotechnical problems.

5. Examination of the dynamic effects that will occur resulting from vibration and explosion in tunnel and mine excavations.

6. performing seismic analysis of structures in the design of earth filling dams.

The solution of the Flac finite elements method consists of the three-step approach given below. The solution method for FLAC finite components consists of the following three-stage process. First, the finite differences phase, a limited time, and the change over field linear default variables are estimated by the time and finite differences of the first degree. Second, the model’s deposition phase: An equivalent environment replaces the continuous environment by a deposition. In the new environment, all forces are assumed to be gathered at the nodes of a three-dimensional network. Third, the dynamic solution phase is used to access the system’s balanced state, whose inertia terms in motion equations are analyzed as numeric agents [6].

Abaqus

Abaqus is a finite element method that works through a detailed analysis of engineering problems by creating realistic computeraided models (Figure 5).

It offers the ability to analyze linear and nonlinear projects that are difficult to solve due to the different material models and finite element types involved [8]. The program consists of five essential software: Standard, Explicit, CFD, Electromagnetic, and CAE. ABAQUS/Standard uses solution technology, ideal for static and low-speed dynamic events where highly sensitive stress solutions are critical. Within a single simulation, it is possible to analyze a model in both the frequency and time zone. Standard is closed finite elements software that can perform static and dynamic analyzes. Their solution uses advanced material and element features. It can also perform acoustic and associated doubleacting analyzes, and the plastic injection can be used in conjunction with various programs for mold analysis results [8]. Abaqus/Explicit, a particular purpose finite element analyzer that uses an open integration scheme to solve many complex contacts, nonlinear systems under transient loads. At the same time, automotive is particularly suitable for simulating short transient dynamic events such as collision capability and ballistic impact. It is a handy software for simulating semi-static events, such as handling nonlinear behavior and the rounding of hot metal effectively.

Collision tests can be used for dropping tests and resolution of strain problems [8]. Abaqus/CFD, it is the software that Abaqus offers to solve computational fluid dynamics problems. It can solve nonlinear fluid-structural and fluid-thermal problems. Real results are achieved when used in nonlinear structural-flow and heat- flow applications [8]. Abaqus/Electromagnetic offers an advanced computational solution of electromagnetic problems [8]. Abaqus/ CAE is a software used for both the modeling of mechanical components and its analysis and visualizes the analysis results. Thanks to its intuitive interface, it is user-friendly in modeling, research, and result visualization [8].

Diana

Chan in 1988, designed for dynamic, static, and consolidation analysis of geomechanical problems. It is a 2-dimensional element program that contains plane deformation and asymmetric analysis. The program has five ground models. It can be rank these models as a linear elastic model, Coulomb changing with average effective environmental pressure, a general elastic model with friction envelope, elastic-full plastic Mohr-Coulomb, original glass clay Pastor-Zienkiewicz Mark-III models. The DIANA program requires four input files for each finite element analysis to be performed. These input files consist of mesh, data, introduction, and earthquake files. Running an analysis requires these input files to be created in a specific order [10]. The network file defines the geometry of the finite element network to be used in the analysis. The geometry of the defined floor model is divided into smaller regions, creating a finite element net. The input file ‘DYNMGEN’ is used to prepare the network file [10]. The data file contains control data to be used to perform finite element analysis. All technical information about finite element analysis is stored in this file [10]. The Initial file creates the initial conditions for finite element analysis. This file’s data contains the initial speed, start time, start displacement, maximum displacement norm, earthquake status, initial acceleration, and internal parameters of the ground model. The ‘DYNINT’ input file is used to prepare the initial data file [10]. The earthquake file is the last input file required for finite element analysis. The important aspect to be considered in preparing this input file required for dynamic analysis is the type of earthquake and the scale factor. For dynamic analysis, the desired load transaction type and transaction scale must be created in the ‘DYNEQK’ input file and encoded in the scale factor data file [10].

Midas GTS NX

MIDAS GTS NX is an important method of finite elements for geotechnical and tunnel analysis systems. It can model geological problems that are difficult to model with advanced technology [11]. In Midas GTS NX, geometry is modeled in 2 shapes. The first is that geometry is drawn in 2D or transferred from drawing programs. A network of 2D finite elements is then created and offset to the 3rd dimension, resulting in a model of 3D finite elements. This method may not be available for complex geometries. The other method is to create 3D geometric objects by giving dimensions 3rd dimension in 2 sizes or transferred using the command “extrude” [12].

Examples Using the Finite Element Method

Tunnel example with Plaxis Program

In this tunnel project application, the Plaxis 2D program, one of the finite programs, has calculated deformations that can be caused by the passage of tunnels. In line with these deformations, ground improvement methods have been implemented. The Plaxis program is selected for this application because complex boundary conditions and nonlinear material behavior allow systematic programming in solving challenging and complex problems such as non-homogeneous materials. 6 different cases have been explored in this application. In the first application, the whole floor is assumed to be clay, and the tunnel is added. (Figure 6). In the second application, tunneling is performed in the clay and sandy variable ground profile with different ground parameters (Figure 7). The deformation of the floor surface and the deformation of the tunnel covering have the same value and have increased by 50,92 mm. In the third application, he implemented a building load without improving the previous project (Figure 8). The deformation of the floor surface has increased to 87,41 mm. Due to the tunnel covering’s building load; the deformation value has risen to 52, 57 mm. Improved soil with geotextiles and sealants before applying building load in the fourth application (Figures 6-9).

Due to the optimization, the deformation of the floor surface has been retightened to 67,49 mm. The deformation value in the tunnel covering is close to the previous example and has dropped to 51,71 mm. A 2 m thick floor injection method is implemented as an enhancement (Figure 10). As a result of this optimization, the soil surface’s deformation has been retightened from 67,49 mm to 58,62 mm. The deformation value in the tunnel lining is 52.54 mm. The sixth application assumes that a 5-story building with two basements is built on the ground, and the deformation value in the tunnel coating is 50.51 mm (Figures 10,11).

As a result of these examples, finite element programs must be analyzed to ensure that new structures built after tunnel construction are constructed without damaging the tunnel and existing structures. A non-damaged construction must be carried out by determining suitable solutions to the problems that will arise. Before applying a building load, improvements can be made to the characteristics of the floor, thus setting the seating values on the floor surface to lower values. It is important to maintain the ground during tunnel construction and select two to maintain the tunnel’s stability. The groundwater check must be carried out from the start of the project. The tunnel is to be built must be checked that it will not damage structures around it [13].

Tunnel example with FLAC 3D Program

Pressed floors can cause many problems, such as the collapse of supports due to heavy load, groundwater, excessive closure of pile profiles, or destruction of tunnel support. Therefore, before tunneling on such floors, the type and severity of the jamming that may occur should be investigated in advance. A specific formula produced by Hoek-Brown is used to predict the possibility of jamming and to analyze the jam. Flac 3D, Finite elements program, was used to determine the Hoek-Brown criteria parameters to be taken into account in the analysis of trapped floors in this application. For these studies, four Hoek-Brown input parameters are considered and modeled mainly: Rock mass parameters GSI (geological strength index), UCS (single-axis press strength), MI (Hoek material constant), and H (covering thickness). Code (FISH code) has been written by the Hoek-Brown criteria, as Flac3D is based on Mohr-Coulomb criteria. Numerical modeling results using GSI, H, UCS, and mi variables according to Hoek and Brown defeat criteria are presented separately as deformation contours and plastic zone contours. Deformation contours have been found to have a significant reduction in deformation contours around the tunnel as the GSI value increases from three-dimensional numeric models with different GSI values (Figure 12). In line with the results obtained by giving different tunnel cover thickness values, it was determined that the deformations around the tunnel increased rapidly as H increased (Figure 13). As a result of the deformation contours for the different mİ values from the three-dimensional numeric models, the mİ value has increased. In contrast, the deformation values have been found to have very little reduction than the other parameters (Figure 14). Thus, it is understood that the effect of mİ value on the potential for compression is not an important parameter. A significant reduction in deformation around the tunnel has been identified as the UCS value increases about deformation contours from three-dimensional numerical models using different single axis thrust strength values (Figures 12-15).

As a result of different GSI values, plastic zone contours decreased significantly in the thickness of the plastic area around the tunnel as the values increased (Figure 16). Using different cover thicknesses, it was determined that the value of plastic zone thickness increased as it increased (Figure 17). Using another mi value, it was determined that the plastic zone thickness values decreased due to the increase (Figure 18). While a change in the plastic zone size was observed with the increase in MI value, it was determined that this determined change MI parameter was not a useful parameter on the plastic zone. Using different single axis thrust strength values has determined that the plastic zone thickness around the tunnel decreases as the UCS value increases (Figures 16-19).

In parallel with the result of the plastic region radius, analyzes, and deformation analysis, the study’s parameters revealed that GSI, UCS, and H were the most influential parameters. It should be considered that the effect of the MI parameter will also change when the fixed parameters are changed, even though the impact of the MI parameter is low [14].

Result

As a result of developing technologies and research, existing programs have been designed and provided ease of solution to many engineering problems. The programs in which the method of finite elements was applied increased over time. In this way, almost every engineering branch has used appropriate programs for its problems. Many complex and time-long issues have been solved in fewer time thanks to these programs. Questions are broken down into pieces and solved in more detail, resulting in more realistic results. The development of programs and the introduction of 3D solutions have made it easier to understand problems and solutions. This makes tunnel projects easier to solve, and errors can be detected. Problems encountered during the opening phase of tunnels have been quickly resolved, and necessary improvements have been made. As technology evolves and people seek more realistic results, the finite element methods will continue to grow and develop.

About: Iron-Manganese based alloy Fe-Mn (having Mn composition of more than 29% by weight) is a promising biodegradable metallic implant which exhibits single austenitic phase (non-magnetic form of iron) with MRI compatibility. The alloy also showed a degradation rate in the range of 0.14-0.026 mm per year in the simulated body fluid, which means that the Fe-Mn alloy exhibits mechanical integrity for 3-6 months and completely disappears from the body in 12-24 months. The newly developed Fe-Mn based alloys are suitable for biodegradable stent and orthopedic implant applications.  Important Info : Significance: These Biodegradable materials (Fe, Mg, Zn, and polymer) can participate in the healing process and then degrade gradually by maintaining the mechanical integrity without leaving any implant residues in the human body.These are better alternatives to currently used metallic implants which remain permanently in the human body and can cause long-term side effects like systemic toxicity, chronic inflammation, and thrombosis.  Source : All India Radio ( Science & Technology ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Third tranche of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’: Agriculture sector gets ₹1.5-lakh-cr booster

About: The proposed model of Tour of Duty (ToD) has been proposed to be implemented on a trial basis for officers and other ranks in the army for a limited number of vacancies which would be increased later if the model is successful. The proposal is a shift from the concept of permanent service in the armed forces towards an “internship” for 3 years. The army is also examining giving a ‘token’ lump sum amount to officers and jawans exiting from the ToD scheme, to make it more attractive.  Important Info : Expected benefits: Army will benefit by getting younger manpower and the society will benefit by getting people who are disciplined and have imbibed the ethos of the army.The cost, including training, pay and allowances, incurred on people joining under the new model would be Rs 80-85 lakhs, as compared to over Rs 6 crore for an officer under the Short Service Commission, who serve up to 14 years.With the ToD concept implementation, there is likely to be an exponential reduction in salary and pension budgets. These savings can be used for Army’s modernisation.Corporates can also benefit from individuals who would serve in the army for three years due to their training and exposure. As per an initial survey, corporates favour individuals aged 26 or 27 who have been trained by the military.  Source : Economic Times ( Defence & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy 61st CAVALRY The Indian Army is planning to convert its famous 61st Cavalry, the only active serving horse cavalry regiment in the world, into a regular armoured regiment with tanks. About: The 61st Cavalry was raised in 1953 after amalgamating the horse-mounted cavalry units of the erstwhile princely states of British India. The Teen Murti Memorial in New Delhi was constructed during the British Raj to commemorate the heroic role played by the Hyderabad, Jodhpur and Mysore Lancers during the legendary Battle of Haifa (now in modern-day Israel) in 1918 during World War I. The Indian Army celebrates “Haifa Day” on September 23 every year as part of its overall tradition to honour the valour of its regiments. At present, the ceremonial President’s Bodyguard (PBG) based at Rashtrapati Bhavan and the 61st Cavalry are the only horse-mounted units in the Army.  Important Info : Proposed Plan: The aim is to transform the Jaipur-based 61st Cavalry into “a combat force” from its present role of being “largely a ceremonial unit” that also engages in sporting activities like polo.The commanding officer (CO) of 61st Calvary, which is likely to be rechristened the 61st Armoured Regiment at Jaipur, will have three “independent squadrons” of tanks under him.It has sparked outrage among purists in military circles, who assert the “short-sighted step will destroy a glorious historical tradition”.  Source : Times of India ( Defecne & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Short Service Commission to be made more attractive Chief of the Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat said that efforts are on to make the Short Service Commission (SSC) more attractive so as to reduce the mounting pension burden of the Army.

About: Short Service commission (SSC) in Indian Army is the tenure of officers. Currently, the SSC is for 10 years, which can be extended by up to four years. At the end of 14 years, there is an option for permanent commission (PC). The training academy for SSC Short Service commission officers is Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai. Proposed steps to make SSC more attractive: A one-year training course will be given to SSC officers while exiting after 14 years. The courses can be professional or technical courses such as MBA or M.Tech. to give the skills for a second employment as a civilian. About 25%-30% of the SSC officers would be granted Permanent Commission (PC) so that they are kept motivated and they compete to get PC. The rest can leave. Other incentives include a lumpsum amount and medical facilities under the Ex-servicemen Contributory Health Scheme.  Important Info : Pension burden of army? The Army’s pay and pension bill has been increasing over the years, accounting for 60% of its budgetary allocation.During the last five years, though the growth in the defence budget has been 68% and the growth in salaries 75%, the pensions have increased by a staggering 146%.  Source : The Hindu ( Defence & Security ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy SUPER-EARTH Scientists from the University of Canterbury (UC) have discovered a rare new Super-Earth planet that lies towards the centre of the galaxy, also called the Galactic Bulge.

About: The planet is one of ‘only a handful of extra-solar planets that have been discovered with both size and orbit comparable to that of Earth. The host star is 10 percent the mass of our Sun and that the planet has a year of approximately 617 days. The planet has a mass somewhere between that of Earth and Neptune. It orbits at a location between Venus and Earth from the parent star. The planet was discovered using a technique called ‘Gravitational Microlensing’ where the combined gravity of the planet and its host star causes light from a more distant background star to be magnified in a particular manner.  Important Info : Super Earth? What is it? It is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below the masses of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune.What is it not? This term refers only to the mass of the planet, and does not imply anything about the habitability or surface conditions.

Previous cases: The previous most famous case of coronavirus infection among cats, big or domestic, has been that of four-year-old Nadia, a Malayan tiger at New York’s Bronx Zoo. She tested positive in April 2020. Within weeks, a few more tigers and lions at the zoo tested positive. Among domestic cats, the first known infection happened in Belgium. Recent research: The key finding in recent research is that cats can be asymptomatic while carrying the virus. Also, all the cats went on to clear the virus. The latest findings suggest that cats may be capable of becoming infected when exposed to people or other cats positive for SARS-CoV-2. Other researchers have previously suggested reasons why cats may be vulnerable to infection from humans: feline and human cells have similar ACE2 receptors, which are enzymes that facilitate the coronavirus’s entry in the body. The general view remains that a cat is more likely to get Covid-19 from a human, than a human getting it from a cat.  Source : Indian Express ( Health ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Best IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy NATIONAL DENGUE DAY On the occasion of National Dengue Day (May 16), Health Ministry has listed a series of simple measures through which Dengue can be prevented.
