Life after LSE: Megha Mukim on Asia’s most competitive cities
No full textWhether they study on one of our MSc programmes or undertake a PhD, after graduation our students disperse across the world to undertake a seemingly endless range of occupations, and apply what they’ve learnt in their time with us. Many go on to work for governments or NGOs, others for international aid agencies or as advisers in the private sector. Megha MukimAnother popular route is multilateral development institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, or the United Nations, and this is the route Megha Mukim took after completing her PhD with us. Recently, she has co-authored, and joint team led, the World Bank’s Competitive Cities flagship project, the findings of which Megha explains in an interview she did with Bloomberg Business and are also outlined below

Megha: Decentralized Global Fair Scheduling for Federated Clusters
Get PDFIncreasing scale and heterogeneity in data centers have led to the
development of federated clusters such as KubeFed, Hydra, and Pigeon, that
federate individual data center clusters. In our work, we introduce Megha, a
novel decentralized resource management framework for such federated clusters.
Megha employs flexible logical partitioning of clusters to distribute its
scheduling load, ensuring that the requirements of the workload are satisfied
with very low scheduling overheads. It uses a distributed global scheduler that
does not rely on a centralized data store but, instead, works with eventual
consistency, unlike other schedulers that use a tiered architecture or rely on
centralized databases. Our experiments with Megha show that it can schedule
tasks taking into account fairness and placement constraints with low resource
allocation times - in the order of tens of milliseconds.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, conference pape
Megha-Tropiques mission status
No full textThe French-Indian Megha-Tropiques mission was launched in October 2011 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Onboard the satellite, MADRAS is a conical scanning passive microwave radiometer with 9 channels from 18.6 GHz to 157 GHz dedicated mainly to the retrieval of rain over both land and ocean. The originality of the Megha-Tropiques mission is not so much in the capabilities of the MADRAS instrument which are similar to a SSM/I, but it is in its peculiar low inclination orbit (20°) combined with a large swath (~1700 km) which gives an incomparable revisit over the 23° S-23° N region. The first data received from MADRAS show that the instrument, regardless of some data transmission difficulties, is giving very good quality brightness temperatures with very low noise level even at 89 and 157 GHz. The presentation will give a brief review of the mission status and of the connected scientific activities regarding the rain retrieval algorithms, for both instantaneous products (Level 2) and the 1 degree-1 day product (Level 4). The presentation will also give a brief overview of the algorithm validation activities (microphysics) and products validation (rain) which will be detailed in separate presentations and posters

Auditory–cognitive: HA acclimatization in SNHL (Megha & Maruthy, 2019)
No full textPurpose: The study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of perceived benefit of hearing aid acclimatization. Specifically, measures in the auditory and cognitive domain were tapped to investigate its relationship with the perceived benefit.Method: Twenty-six individuals with sensorineural hearing loss served as participants for the study. The perceived benefit of hearing aid use was assessed using the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ; Gatehouse & Noble, 2004). Signal-to-noise ratio-50 (SNR-50) and acceptable noise levels were the measures in auditory domain, whereas working memory and listening effort (LE) were the measures in cognitive domain. All the measures were tracked over a span of 2 months of hearing aid use to determine the benefits of hearing aid acclimatization.Results: The SSQ showed improvements from baseline to 2nd month of hearing aid use. The mean improvement in the SNR-50 scores was 3.19 dB from the baseline. Acceptable noise levels and working memory did not change with hearing aid use. LE showed improvements in quiet but not in noise. The improvements in the SSQ were found to relate with the improvements in SNR-50.Conclusions: The study indicated a significant perceived benefit with hearing aid acclimatization, and the underlying mechanism appears to be the signal-to-noise ratio gain. The findings of LE indicated reduced LE, thereby suggesting lesser cognitive load with hearing aid acclimatization. In addition, the individuals who performed poorer in the baseline measurement showed greater perceived benefit with hearing aid acclimatization.Supplemental Material S1.
