AAS #1
Magnetic Resonance Phenomena provides a unique context for understanding the application of Quantum Mechanical Formalisms with the spin Hamiltonians and the spin-state wave-functions since the early descriptions of the phenomena can be introduced with classical vector pictures and equations obtainable from the considerations of motions of classical bodies and magnets. The specific reasons - as to where and why the quantum mechanical descriptions become inevitable - throws a great deal of light into the realms of applicability of quantum and classical descriptions.
The mathematical prerequisites are much more elementary than what the students usually contend it to be and it is necessary, at least in the case of students who specifically seem to hold the bias of not opting for mathematics,but opt for subjects which do not titled explicitly in mathematical terms. This trend leads them invariably to the ordeal of trying to use much less straightforward approach while having to apply mathematical procedures which learnt as a revision of elementary level mathematics would be much simpler.
This required elementary revision eventhough a few talented teachers can venture into finds obviously a description as if it is a strange way of handling the subject matter and not many in such contexts seem capable of supporting since magnetic resonance itself is a much more recent and advanced technique which is being capsuled for application without having to learn too much about the phenomena and its descriptions. This usefulness makes the students not well appreciate what they are not able to use of this technique.
Hence an exclusive effort of the sort of innovative programme is worth giving a try at the North Eastern Hill University , Shillong

Dr. Aravamudhan was a Resource Person at the UGC Refresher's Course of the Academic Staff College,
at the Department of Chemistry, N.E.H.U., Shillong held during Sept.20-Oct.12, 2007 and had five Lecture Slots to talk about and demonstrate the Innovative Approaches for the better effectiveness of the Class-room Teaching. The impression gathered is that the suggested approaches as demonstrated were well received by the participants. With greater bias towards the initiatives as indicated in this PROFORMA, the subject matter of NMR was also covered and some of the presentation files which were showed on that occasion are included as "links to download from" in the webpage for the "Course_Contents". A provisional report was conveyed to UGC & NEHU about this effectiveness with a request to promote this feature in the Refresher Courses in the future as well |
In most of the Spectroscopic contexts, the Electro Magnetic Radiation interacting with matter has to be mathematically dealt with by describing the sinusoidally varying radiation in terms of the exponential of the imaginary argument. This is the euler equation or expression as one may find in the embedded Flash movie made from the Microsoft powerpoint presentation file.
Particulrly in the context of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, the current day pulsed NMR methods require setting of different RF pulses with well synchronised phase relationships and associating them with change of the coordinate axis along which the radiation causes perturbation. Typically using phase sensitive detection techniques, experiment in which "Phase Cycling" features require a clear perception of the Laboratory frame and rotating frames of references to design pulse sequences to compensate for instrumental artefacts or to regulate and specify the required spin system evolutions and select out the specified responses of spin systems.
And, this slide-show feature made available to intenet viewing by an embedded flash file conversion is meant for the beginners.Click on URL-link below

Since the applicant has experience in participating in the teaching programmes of various Universities around the North Eastern hill university,Shillong, in addition to handling this subject matter in the class room sessions at Instititions like IIT/Delhi, IIT/Kanpur and at the AIIMS,New Delhi, it would be of considerable interest to share the consequences of such teaching programmes with those institutions. Also at the National Chemical Labboratory,PUNE the Scientists, Research Scholars,and the Scientific Assistants who require informations while operating the spectrometers have found the lecture classes conducted by this appicant useful and interesting. This experience suggests that an initiative of this type is worth promoting in this academic institution as well.

This is an effort in trying to illustrate that what is being considered as a stringent requirement and formidable for the students with insufficient background can possibly be made simple and to show that what is required is a simple revision of elementary aspects already taught at lower levels but are not covered at all the intermediate levels with the required emphasis on revision since the main title gets importance only at relatively higher level of the Curriculum. |
15. Whether the project is meeting global requirement in hi-tech, emerging, thrust areas or it is a proposal to solve some issues or problems of national priority or thrust?:: This is an all-encompassing effort trying to improve upon the existing trends . More specifically to improve the class-room attention when the attendees are prone to have bias which may not lead to durable progress. This is more so because the Magnetic Resonance technique is being flooded with improvisations due to the global requirements.
16. How it is going to influence research & teaching. ::Better utilization of the available Spectrometer facilities. And, a familiarity with basic curriculum structure better enunciated in terms of the basic aspects required for this technique to enable a due emphasis of these basics at formative levels courses.
17. Whether the proposal/project has been placed to any other agency? If so what is the status. :: After the D.O. from the UGC has been received the coordinator has been making efforts to secure the necessary finacial support from CSIR as part of the CSIR Research scheme. These efforts may be found to some extent described in the Final Technical Report submitted to CSIR and the stated Justifications while seeking an extension of the Term after the completion of three years: CLICK HERE for documented particulars.
18. What is the percentage of the possibility or success of this innovative or creative project, if the UGC agrees to support the same based on the recommendation of the Expert Committee a plan period::: Possibility of launching & accomplishing similar tasks in other Subjects- Disciplines. And to find out the possibilities of improving the teaching of these courses by experiencing the prevailing inadequacies � any success rate estimate would require a cumulatively cascadable method and at any rate scope for further efforts could be stated as a cent percent certainty , if not better.
19. For courses in emerging areas or project on innovation/creation etc. covered under the Innovative programme, the UGC assistance will be upto the IXth Plan period only or limited to the period given under the project proposal which ever is earlier. :: May be similar terms can be applied by considering this programme for the X PLAN PERIOD. In view of the applicant�s fill-in remarks in item 18 above,there need be no limits to be specifeied for these efforts at this outset itself. There may not be much expenditure incurred and hence a grant amount can become durable for longer periods than the specified plan period.
20. Give specific item-wise details for non-recurring (one time grant) and recurrig (annual requirements). The list of the equipments priority wise with cost may be provided. The infrastructure/facilitics created, if any, through SAP and COSIST programmme may be kept in view. :: NONE to specify
� If the project is an individual one, a certificate from the university authority stating that all facilities to implement the programme/project will be provided by the University/College may be submitted with this project. A copy of the applicant's curriculum with evidence of publication and justification for considering the proposal under the innovative programmme. ::As per the considerations of the UNDERSIGNED authorities of this University
� Proposal/project will not be consider if it is not submitted in the prescribed form.
� The proposal is to be submitted in duplicate to the Secretary. UGC with a copy to the Joint Secretary, (SAP/COSIST)I UGC, New Delhi.
