Kathmandu University goes Community Level training at Sindhupalanchowk and Dolakha district on Disaster Management

isms | 02 September, 2010 15:23

Kathmandu University is organizing Community Based Disaster Risk Management Training for Capacity Building in selected communities and Local administration level in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha District of Nepal, RCRRP in the Himalayas, UNDP – ECHO initiative.

The resource persons are from School of Science, School of Management and School of Medical Sciences, Dhulikhel Hospital Kathmandu University and Nepal Engineering College affiliated to Pokhara University.

The program is being coordinated by Dr. Bim Prasad Shrestha, Associate Professor and Head of Department at Department of Mechanical Engineering of Kathmandu University and  being provided in four thematic areas of Early warning system, Contingency planning , Search and Rescue and First aid in both the districts.

The relevant resource materials are being provided by Nepal Red Cross Society, Practical Action Nepal, Action aid Nepal, Mercy Corps, DIPECHO etc. The logistic support is being provided by TRUST Nepal Pvt. Ltd and on site support is being provided by CDECF, the local partner designated by UNDP/Nepal

Kathmandu University extends great appreciation to these organization for their support.
 
The training will be given to local community and district level of office bearer of Nepal Police, Nepal Armed Police, Nepal Army, Nepal Red Cross, District development office etc.

This is first of its kind that Kathmandu University is organizing the training at local level and contract has been awarded to Kathmandu University on competitive basis.

Sept. 31st  2010  is the first day of the training program and inaugurated at Melamachi Diamond Resort of Bahunepati. In the Inauguration program, training coordinator Dr. Bim Shrestha welcomed all the participants on behalf of its organizer Kathmandu University. Project support officer of UNDP Mr. Deepak KC highlighted the importance of training program and also shed light on UNDP ECHO initiative activities for hydro metrological disaster management  being carried out in Nepal.
 
The first day training was given by Dr. Rijan Bhakta Kayastha on Early warning system and his training is being facilitated by Ms. Rinu Karmacharya at Bahunepati VDC of Sidhupalnchok district.

Second Announcement of the Third International Conference on Lie-Admissible Treatments of Irreversible Processes (ICLATIP-3)

isms | 01 August, 2010 11:43

 

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE

Third International Conference on Lie-Admissible Treatments
of Irreversible Processes (ICLATIP-3
)
Dedicated to the  memory of Prof. Hyo Chul Myung

Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal
December 30, 2010 - January 2, 2011, social events
January 3 to 7, 2011, conference sessions

Organized by Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal in partnership with
Nepal Mathematical Society, Nepal Physical Society, The R. M. Santilli Foundation

web site of the conference
http://www.ku.edu.np/iclatip/

 

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
During the 20th century it was generally believed that the irreversibility over time of our macroscopic environment was "illusory" (sic) because, when macroscopic events are reduced to their elementary particle constituents, irreversibility "disappears" (sic) and one recovers nice elementary particles in the reversible conditions necessary for the applicability of special relativity, quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry.

As part of his lifelong research in the field, the Italian American applied mathematician Ruggero Maria Santilli (see CV, prizes and nominations at  http://www.santilli-foundation.org) has proved the following:

NO REDUCTION THEOREM: A classical system that is irreversible over time cannot be consistently reduced to a finite number of elementary particles all reversible over time and, voice versa, a finite number of elementary particles all in reversible conditions cannot yield a macroscopic irreversible event under the correspondence or other principles.

The above theorem establishes that irreversibility originates at the most ultimate structure of nature. For instance, the irreversibility of a spaceship during re-entry in our atmosphere originates from the nonlinear, nonlocal-integral and nonpotential-nonhamiltonian, thus irreversible interactions between the electron orbitals of the peripheral atoms of the spaceship and the corresponding orbitals of the atmosphere. Similar origins have been identified for other irreversible events, including inelastic,  thus irreversible, high energy scattering processes.

Above all, all energy releasing processes at the particle, nuclear, atomic and chemical levels are structurally irreversible over time. Consequently, basic advances in irreversible processes are crucial for the development, in due time,  of much needed new clean energies and fuels so, whose study is an important aim of the Conference. Due to such a societal relevance of irreversibility,  our Foundation encourages a wide participation by experts in different fields for communal advances.

By recalling that special relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry, and 20th century sciences in general are reversible, the above No Reduction Theorem has far reaching implications since it  has stimulated the initiation of the broadening of the scientific knowledge of the 20the century. Another aim of the Conference is that of identifying the status of the research in irreversibility as well as discuss new frontiers, such as much needed new algebras, geometries, functional analysis and other methods with such an irreversible structure to  achieve direct compatibility with thermodynamical laws, beginning with a quantitative formulation of the entropy, as a necessary condition for an actual representation of nature.

The significance of Lie-admissible algebras for irreversibility can be outlined as follows. As it is well known, 20th century sciences are based on Lie algebras with familiar product [A, B] = AB - BA] and known time evolution for a Hermitean operator  i dA/dt = AH - HA. Hence, the reversibility of special relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum, chemistry and other 20th century disciplines is reducible to the primitive invariance of the Lie product under anti-Hermiticity, [A, B] = - [A, B]^+.

During his Ph. D. studies, Santilli proposed in 1967 [1] the embedding of lie algebras in covering algebras with the first known deformed product (A, B) = pAB - qBA , where p, q and p +/- q (called lambda and my in the original paper) are non-null scalars, and the first known deformed time evolution idA/dt = pAH - qHA, where the product (A, B) is Lie-admissible (as well as Jordan-admissible) in the sense that the attached antisymmetric (symmetric) product is Lie (Jordan.

Subsequently, when at the Department of Mathematics of Harvard University under DOE grants ER-78-S-02-47420.A000, AS02-78ER04742, DE-ACO2-80ER10651s, Santilli proposed in 1978 [2] the most general known Lie-admissible and Jordan-admissible product (A, B) = ARB - BSA where R and S are  nonsingular operators, with Lie-admissible time evolution idA/dt = ARH - HSA that is manifestly irreversible because no longer invariant under anti-Hermiticity.

A new mathematics based on generalized different units for ordered products to the right (representing motion forward in time) and inequivalent ordered products to the left (representing motion backward in time) had to be developed because, when applied to Santilli's Lie-admissible formulations, the mathematics underlying Lie's theory (conventional numerical fields, functional analysis, differential calculus, etc.) would lead to different numerical values under the same conditions at different times, loss over time of Hermiticity-observability (Lopez lemma), violation of causality, and other catastrophic inconsistencies.

Following contributions by a large number of authors reported in the Third Announcement of our Foundation 9see http://www.santilli-foundation.org/Announcments.html ), the latest comprehensive presentation including the needed new mathematics, the new irreversible mechanics, the proof of its universality with invariance, and a number of specific applications to irreversible processes, can be found in the 2006 Nuovo Cimento memoir [3].
