Oren Root, a longtime New York City lawyer and Columbia University graduate who was at the school when anti-Vietnam War protests rocked it in 1968, said Shafik's summoning of police was "an extraordinary miscalculation."
"President Shafik and her advisers clearly didn't learn from history," said Root, who was a top editor at The Spectator, the Columbia student newspaper, in 1968 and 1969. “Calling in the cops was clearly a mistake. Things have not gotten any calmer.”

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has developed a potential breakthrough in green aviation: a recipe for a net-zero fuel for planes that will pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the air. The research, which used sophisticated computational modeling and analysis, was recently published in the journal Fuel.
Led by Jagan Jayachandran, assistant professor of aerospace engineering, and Adam Powell, associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering, the work helps address an urgent climate change problem. Aviation accounts for approximately 2.5% of all global greenhouse emissions, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), and that number is only expected to increase.
"As aviation continues to grow, so will the industry's emissions, says Powell. "We need to think out of the box and look at sustainable materials that will contribute to a long-term solution toward reducing the transportation sector's carbon footprint."
Through modeling and computation analysis, Jayachandran and Powell developed a formula for a fuel that consists of magnesium, a mineral that is found all over the globe, most abundantly in the world's oceans. A slurry of magnesium hydride -- a chemical compound made up of magnesium and hydrogen -- mixed with hydrocarbon fuel would burn to produce CO2, water vapor and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles. The magnesium hydride fuel would also give planes the range for long-haul flights -- e.g., from Boston to Tokyo -- something that has been a challenge for other sustainable aviation fuels to provide. That longer range is achieved, in part, due to the chemical properties of the slurry -- a lower volume of it is needed for combustion than a typical aviation fuel.

4 Years Diploma in Electrical Engineering is a field of engineering
that generally deals with the study and application of electricity,
electronics, and electromagnetism. This field first became an
identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after the
commercialization of telegraphy, the telephone, and electric power
distribution and use. Subsequently, broadcasting and recording media
made electronics part of daily life. The invention of the transistor, and
later the integrated circuit, brought down the cost of electronics to the
point they can be used in almost any household object. Electrical
Engineering has now been subdivided into a wide range of subfields
including electronics, digital computers, power engineering,
telecommunications, radiofrequency engineering, signal processing,
and instrumentation. The subject of electronic engineering is often
treated as its own subfield but it intersects with all the other subfields, including the power electronics of power engineering.
