▪️Coal gasification is the process of producing syngas–a mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), natural gas (CH4) , and water vapour (H2O)–from coal and water, air and/or oxygen.

Historically, coal was gasified to produce coal gas, also known as "town gas"

▪️Coal gas is combustible and was used for municipal lighting, and heating, before the advent of large scale production of natural gas from oil wells.

Green Propellants

▪️ ISRO is developing green propellants for use in future rocket & satellite propulsion systems.
▪️It has made a beginning by developing an eco-friendly solid propellant to eliminate the emission of chlorinated exhaust products from rocket.
▪️ The propellants are based on Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) as fuel and Ammonium Di Nitramide (ADN) as oxidizer.
▪️ It has successfully developed ISROSENE, which is a rocket grade version of kerosene as an alternative to conventional hydrazine rocket fuel.
▪️ It has already used Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen combination in cryogenic upper stage of GSLV MK-III.

Convalescent plasma therapy

• It seeks to make use of the antibodies developed in the recovered patient against the coronavirus.

• The whole blood or plasma from such people is taken, and the plasma is then injected in critically ill patients so that the antibodies are transferred and boost their fight against the virus.

Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID)

Early in March, India became the fifth country in the world to sequence the genome of the novel Coronavirus, or Covid-19, and share its data with the international community.

What is GISAID?

It is a public platform started by the WHO in 2008 for countries to share genome sequences.

Created as an alternative to the public domain sharing model, GISAID’s sharing mechanism took into account the concerns of Member States by providing a publicly accessible database designed by scientist for scientist, to improve the sharing of influenza data.

What is genomic sequencing?

Genomic sequencing is a technique that allows us to read and interpret genetic information found within DNA or RNA.

Muons
Muons and other particles are produced when cosmic rays bombard air particles surrounding the earth.
The muons produced can have positive or negative charge. When a positively charged muon falls through a cloud, it loses energy.

Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum Concrete
Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) Panel known as Rapidwall is a building panel made-up of calcined gypsum plaster, reinforced with glass fibers. The panel was originally developed by FRG Building System Australia and since 1990 is being used for mass scale building construction.
Now, these panels are being produced in India

UMMID
(Unique Methods of Management and treatment of Inherited Disorders)

The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has started the UMMID(Unique Methods of Management and treatment of Inherited Disorders) Initiative which is designed on the concept of ‘Prevention is better than Cure’.
UMMID aims to create awareness about genetic disorders amongst clinicians to establish molecular diagnostic in hospitals.

Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation (SATYAM)
A new programme called SATYAM-“Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation” has been launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology to strengthen research in the areas of yoga and meditation.

Main objective of the programme: To harness knowledge obtained in academic institutions and other related agencies for finding Science & Technology -led solutions that would enable the government to cope with stress and strain associated with fast changing social, economic, environmental and professional circumstances

Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET)
- It is a highly valued packaging material because it is strong yet lightweight, nonreactive, economical, and shatterproof.
- It is a polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

PAROS
• The Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS) is a UN resolution that advocates for a ban on the weaponization of space.

• It was conceived of during the Cold-war era.

• The PAROS resolution acknowledges the limitations of Outer Space Treaty in preventing of an arms race in outer space.

WHAT ARE AWACS?
• Known as ‘eyes in the sky’

• Air-borne radar systems mounted on aircrafts for scanning
and surveillance.

• With a 360-degree span, they are deployed to carry out
surveillance on enemy Air Defence systems and to prepare
an Air Situation Picture useful in aerial combats.

CURRENT FLEET OF AWACS IN IAF

PHALCON
• AWACS procured from Israel
NETRA
• Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) system indigenously developed by DRDO.
• Mounted on an Embraer aircraft was for the 1st time used in an aerial combat by IAF in the Balakot airstrike

BROWN FAT
• Special type of body fat that is activated when we get cold.
• It produces heat to help maintain our body temperature in cold conditions.
• It contains many more mitochondria than does white fat.
• Because of brown fat's ability to burn calories, scientists are looking for ways to exploit its power to help fight obesity
