First person – Poonam Sehgal
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Poonam Sehgal is the first author on ‘Epidermal growth factor receptor and integrins control force-dependent vinculin recruitment to E-cadherin junctions’, published in Journal of Cell Science. The work in this article was carried out while Poonam was a postdoc in the lab of Dr Deborah Leckband at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA, investigating the mechanism of E-cadherin-mediated force-transduction signaling in epithelial cells.</jats:p
"There are millions of young Indians who feel frustrated with their lives.... I really want the Indian government to take these frustrations seriously." - Snigdha Poonam
Get PDFLSE South Asia Centre recently invited Snigdha Poonam, journalist at Hindustan Times and author of Dreamers: How Young Indians are Changing the World, for a panel discussion entitled 'Who are the Middle Class in South Asia?' as part of the South Asia Summit 2018. In conversation with Anirbaan Banerjee, she talks about aggressive Indian nationalism, the political and economic frustrations of the middle-class young Indian, women's aspirations and a growing social-political crisis in India
Conflict in Cross Border Mergers Effect of Firm and Market Size
Get PDFThis paper tries to analyze the interrelationship between possibilities of conflict in cross border mergers and acquisitions and firm and market characteristics in a two country three firm model. We show that in general an increase in asymmetry across firms reduces the possibility of conflict between jurisdictions over merger review decisions. We also show that possibility of conflict increase with the increase in market asymmetries across countries. We also discuss interaction of asymmetry in firm and market size with the distribution of firms across countries and its effect on the possibilities of conflict.conflict, Cross border mergers, firm size, Market Size

Purple Acid Phosphatases (PAPs): Molecular Regulation and Diverse Physiological Roles in Plants
No full textPlastic Discharge in Bali’s Rivers
No full textIndonesia is one of the largest ocean pollutants in the world in terms of plastic emissions. The country has many tourist areas, including the island of Bali, which is the main tourist hub. The plastic problem is large around and on Bali, which has negative consequences for both the environment and the tourism sector. NGOs and the government are trying to tackle the plastic problem, with an increasing effort in the last few years. This research project has been set up to determine which regions and rivers in Bali discharge the most plastic and therefore pollute the ocean the most, and to design a river structure to mitigate plastic emissions to the ocean.For this study, 31 rivers in eight different regions were measured and analysed. All rivers were measured by visual observation, a trawl or a combination of the two. The flow velocity and the width were measured for each river. By means of the average weight of one piece of plastic, the plastic flux could be obtained. The river embankments were systematically assessed for each river. In addition, the wind speed was also measured for each river.The three most polluting rivers of the island are all in different regions. These three rivers will be the most effective to tackle in order to reduce the plastic discharge to the ocean. The study shows that when a river flows through a densely populated area, the river is more polluted, as is the case with the three most polluted rivers.Through a MCA, two effective waste catchment structures were eventually found for the two types of rivers on the island, which are rivers with and without navigation. The structures will remove the plastic from the rivers. The structure for the river that can be closed is the Trash Trap, and for the river that cannot be closed is the Sea Defence Structure.Master project reportCivil Engineering Consultancy Project | CIE4061-09 | MP287Civil Engineering | Hydraulic Engineerin
