She provides assurance services to private equity backed and privately and publicly held entities in the energy and energy-related construction and manufacturing industries, including those specializing in exploration and production, midstream and oilfield services.
"A few years ago, when I visited my mother in Karaikal, a coastal town in South India, construction work on a multi-storey building was underway across from the home I grew up in. Most of the construction workers were young migrant workers, who worked all day, bathed under the municipal tap at the street corner and slept at the construction site. The story grew out of observing the conditions under which the migrant workers worked and lived, imagining the bonds that could form among them and thinking that someone is probably waiting somewhere for each one of them to return home safely."
With the help of biomimetic matrices, a research team led by bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego has discovered exactly how calcium phosphate can coax stem cells to become bone-building cells. This work is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Jan. 6, 2014.
While the PNAS findings only apply to bone building, Varghese and her students at UC San Diego are working on a variety of projects to understand how stem cells thrive and differentiate into a variety of cell types. With this information, they hope to design biomaterials that can be used to help transform stem cells into tissues that may someday replace diseased or degenerated bone, muscle, or blood vessels.
Stem cell research may seem like an unusual endeavor for engineers, but tissue construction and the development of biomaterials have become one more type of "building" in the engineering repertoire, Varghese said.
The major problem arises at yard because of scarcity of space for arranging the building blocks of ship under construction. A standardized erection sequence diagram is generally available to provide the prioritized erection sequence and it serves as the framework. In order to make a timely erection of the blocks a post plan has to be developed so that the blocks lie in the nearest possible vicinity of the material handling devices while keeping the priority of erection and the blocks are arranged in the pre-erection area. The genetic algorithm based solution procedure is developed to produce the optimal spatial arrangement. An innovative algorithm nicknamed ISBAS (Intelligent Spatial Block Arrangement Scheduler) has been developed and implemented using genetic algorithm and a workable computer program has been developed using VC++. The detailed genetic operation is performed to run to meet the objectives of the critically complicated problem. Also hand in hand algorithms such as knapsack problem, traveling salesmen problem and weight assignment algorithms to segregate the better options. An indigenously developed looking forward algorithm is also in place.
The launch of a ship marks a key milestone in its life. All involved in the project from initial concept to design and manufacturing experience a special heart-stopping moment as the ship takes to her natural element for the first time. Although much work (Richard et al, 1998) remains to be completed before the ship can be handed over to its new owners, reaching this stage of the construction project is an incredible journey. Many complex challenges are to be met and issues resolved. The production rates has to be increased to keep up the market dominance and competence hence today's shipyards are under incredible competitive pressures to get it done, get it done right and get it done fast.
