Computed Tomography Scan Part of: GS Prelims and GS – III – Sci & tech In news CT scans have been in news since several Covid positive patients with mild to moderate Covid symptoms, and some with negative RT-PCR reports having Covid symptoms are coming for the test Important value additions CT scan It is also known as computed tomography scan. It is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to get detailed images of the body noninvasively for diagnostic purposes. CT scanners use a rotating x-ray tube and a row of detectors placed in the gantry to measure X-ray attenuations by different tissues inside the body. The multiple X-ray measurements taken from different angles are then processed on a computer using reconstruction algorithms to produce tomographic (cross-sectional) images (virtual “slices”) of a body. The use of ionizing radiations sometimes restricts its use owing to its adverse effects. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

India invited as guest to G7 meeting Part of: GS Prelims and GS – II – International Relations In news India has been invited to the G7 meeting as a guest country. Important value additions The G-7 or ‘Group of Seven’ Formed in: 1975 Countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, and USA. Meetings are presided over by leaders of member countries on a rotational basis. It is an informal annual gathering of two days, in which member countries discuss a wide range of global issues. It does not have a formal constitution or a fixed headquarters The decisions taken during summit are non-binding. Do you know? The G-7 was known as the ‘G-8’ after the original seven were joined by Russia in 1997. The Group returned to being called G-7 after Russia was expelled as a member in 2014 following the latter’s annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

Converting Nitrogen Plants to Oxygen Plants Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II – Health & GS – III – Sci & tech In news Considering the requirement of medical oxygen amidst the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the Government of India explored the feasibility of conversion of existing nitrogen plants to produce oxygen. Key takeaways Potential industries, wherein existing nitrogen plants may be converted for production of oxygen, were identified. In the nitrogen plants Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) is used whereas Zeolite Molecular Sieve (ZMS) is required for producing oxygen. Therefore, by replacing CMS with ZMS and carrying out few other changes such as oxygen analyzer, control panel system, flow valves etc. existing nitrogen plants can be modified to produce oxygen. A nitrogen plant modified for the production of oxygen can be either shifted to a nearby hospital. In case it is not feasible to shift the plant, it can be used for on-site production of oxygen, which can then be transported to hospital through specialized vessels/cylinders. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) Part of: GS Prelims and GS-III – Economy In news The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has launched an online portal for ‘Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry’(PLISFPI). Key takeaways Government of India has approved a new Central Sector Scheme namely‘ Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry’ for implementation during 2021-22 to 2026-27 with an outlay of Rs. 10,900 crore. Objective: To support creation of global food manufacturing champions commensurate with India’s natural resource endowment and support Indian brands of food products in the international markets. Ministry of Food Processing Industries is inviting applications for availing sales based incentives and grants for undertaking Branding & Marketing activities abroad under the scheme from three categories of Applicants: Category-I: Applicant under this category could undertake Branding & Marketing activities abroad also and apply for grant under the scheme with a common application. Category-II: SMEs Applicants manufacturing innovative/ organic products who apply for PLI Incentive based on Sales. Category-III: Applicants applying solely for grant for undertaking Branding & Marketing activities abroad 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

Glaciers are melting more rapidly Glaciers shrinking faster than before A new study by ETH Zurich and University of Toulouse researchers finds that the world's glaciers are shrinking at a faster rate than before. If the trend continues this will put the densely-populated parts of Asia at risk of flood and water shortages. The study found the world's ice fields lost 298 gigatons of ice per year from 2015 to 2019, a 30% increase in the rate of retreat compared with the previous five years. Glaciers in Alaska, the Alps and Iceland are among those disappearing at the fastest pace. The scientistsused images from a special camera aboard NASA's Terra satellite, which has circled the Earth every 100 minutes since its launch in 1999. Impact The situation in the Himalayas is particularly worrying. Swathes of India and Bangladesh could face water stress during dry periods when major rivers like the Ganges and Indus are mainly fed by glacial runoff. Glaciers typically accumulate ice in the winter, but a warming climate means summer melting has outstripped those gains and caused a net loss of ice in mountain regions. The melting in turn contributes to global warming and indirectly accelerates sea level rise, raising the risk of flooding faced by coastal communities. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

China launches the core module of its space station Part of: GS Prelims and GS – II – International Relations & GS-III – Sci & tech In news China launched the core module of its space station, starting a series of key launch missions that aim to complete the construction of the station by the end of next year Key takeaways The Long March-5B Y2 rocket, carrying the Tianhe module, blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of the southern island province of Hainan. The Tianhe module will act as the management and control hub of the space station Tiangong, (meaning Heavenly Palace), with a node that could dock with up to three spacecraft at a time for short stays, or two for long Tianhe is the largest spacecraft developed by China. The space station will be a T shape with the core module at the centre and a lab capsule on each side. The station will operate in the low-Earth orbit at an altitude from 340 km to 450 km. It has a designed lifespan of 10 years, but experts believe it could last more than 15 years with appropriate maintenance and repairs. Do you know? The Chinese space station is expected to be a competitor to the aging International Space Station (ISS) which is a modular space station in low Earth orbit. ISS is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies which included NASA, (US), Roscomos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

First-ever Electric Tractor Part of: GS Prelims and GS – III – Economy; Agriculture In news Central Farm Machinery Training & Testing Institute, Budni (Madhya Pradesh) has tested the first-ever electric Tractor in the Institute. Key takeaways The institute received the application for an electric tractor under Confidential Test initially. Accordingly, the institute has tested the tractor & released the Draft Test Report in February, 2021. Electric tractor will be more environment friendly than other types of tractors. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom

Hottest planet in the known universe discovered About the planet TOI-1431b, also known as MASCARA-5b, was found 490 light-years from Earth and could be the hottest planet in the known universe. Researchers at the University of Southern Queensland's Centre for Astrophysics in Toowoomba led the global team that made the discovery. NASA's Training Exoplanet Survey Satellite first flagged TOI-1431b as a possible planet in late 2019. Dayside temperature reaches approximately 2700 degrees celcius and nightside temperature approaches approximately 2300 degrees celcius - no life could survive in its atmosphere. This temperature is significantly greater than the melting point of most metals, many of which will turn to liquid at under 2000 degrees celcius. Titanium melts at 1670 degrees, platinum at 1770 degrees, and stainless steel at between 1375 and 1530 degrees. Planet with a retrograde orbit These types of planets, known as ultra-hot Jupiters, are rarely discovered but this particular one is even more unusual due to its retrograde orbit. In our Solar System, all the planets orbit in the same direction that the Sun rotates and they're all along the same plane. This new planet's orbit is tilted so much that it is actually going in the opposite direction to the rotation of its host star. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 Join >> @dailynewscom
