GRID COMPUTING

Image
INTRODUCTION Grid computing is a processor architecture that associates computer resources from various areas to reach an objective. In grid computing, an individual computer can connect with networks of computers that can perform the task together, thus working as a super processor. It is a form of interconnected computer systems where the machines utilize the same resources collectively. The concept of grid computing invented in the early 1990s as a symbol for making powerful computers as easy as to work with power grid. A computational grid is a collection of mixed type of computers and the resources spread across numerous administrative fields with the resolute of providing users easy access to these resources. Speaking technically, Grid computing enables the virtualization of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a single system image, granting users and applications seamless access to vast information tec...

Importance of the Guru in our life

The Guru-Disciple tradition is a unique feature of our Indian culture. We celebrate this tradition on the occasion of Guru-purnima which helps us to understand the importance of the Guru in our life. The Guru is the one who takes out ignorance from us. Our teachers are our Guru. That is why, 'Teacher's Day' should be celebrated on the auspicious day of Guru-purnima to offer gratitude at the feet of our teachers. 'Guru' is a term in which 'Gu' means 'darkness' (hidden) and 'ru' means 'removal'. Guru is the one who removes the ignorance of disorder from our life and teaches us how to live a blissful life. The Two Gurus in our life 1. Our Parents are our first Guru, who inculcate good values in us and help us to blend with our society. Our parents teach us everything in our childhood stage. They make us aware what is right and what is wrong. They inculcate good habits in us – for example – Why and how to pay respect to our elders...

Safety Capacitors First: Class-X and Class-Y Capacitors

Image
A Special Class of Capacitors Class-X and Class-Y capacitors are safety-certified capacitors generally designed and used in AC line filtering in many electronic device applications. These safety capacitors are also known by other names, including  EMI/RFI suppression capacitors  and  AC line filter safety capacitors . (EMI stands for electromagnetic interference and RFI stands for radio-frequency interference; RFI is simply higher-frequency EMI.) An example of a Class-Y capacitor  Class-X and Class-Y capacitors help to minimize the generation of EMI/RFI and the negative effects associated with received EMI/RFI. In order for these capacitors to perform their EMI/RFI filtering tasks, they are directly connected to the AC power input, that is, the AC “line” and the AC “neutral” (see Figure 2 below). And because of this direct connection to the AC voltage, the capacitors may be subjected to over voltages and/or voltage transients—lightning strikes, pow...

Benefits of Meditation

What is meditation? Meditation is a relaxation. Meditation is not about concentration, in reality it is the process of getting rid of concentration. This is not the focus of our thoughts on any object, but it is a process of being thoughtless.

The body related to stress causes less pain.  Relief from stress borne headaches, wounds, insomnia, muscle and joint -pain. Sterotonin hormones which produce better condition and behavior are produ...

Technology of the future: 4G & 4G VoLTE

You may have heard words like 3G, 4G, VoLTE, or LTE floating around. But what do they mean? If you are considering buying a new phone, you’ll probably need to know a little bit about these networks before taking a trip to the mall. The frequency used by 4G networks to transmit data is different from that of 3G networks. 4G is basically the fourth generation of consumer networking technology. It offers faster speeds as compared to 3G and is considered an evolutionary benchmark in developing Internet speeds. LTE is actually first generation 4G technology. Many technologies have been competing as 4G standards. Some of these include LTE, Worldwide Inter operability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB). 4G was manifested due to following reasons: In March 2008, The International Telecommunications Union-Radio (ITU-R) agency decided on certain specifications for the standards of 4G. These were: · The peak download speeds for high mobility devices sh...

India's Train Mishaps in Last 10 Years and ways to prevent them

India’s death toll from train derailments in 2016-17 is now the highest in a decade. 193 People died in these accidents despite a sharp dip in trains mishaps- fewest in 10 years (104) ending March 2017; 78 of these accidents were derailments. On 23 August, 2017, a train derailment brought in more flak for the Railways. At least 70 people were injured when nine coaches of the Delhi-bound Kaifiyat Express derailed in Auraiya, Uttar Pradesh. The train, travelling from Azamgarh to Delhi, collided with a dumper around 3am between Pata and Achalda railway stations, a North Central Railway spokesperson said. Earlier this month, Puri-Haridwar Utkal Express, derailed near Muzaffarnagar on 18th August killing 23 passengers and injuring over 60. After two major train accidents in a week, Suresh Prabhu, the Minister for Railways,  offered to resign from his post. Train Derailments While the number of train accidents has significantly reduced in the last 10 years, derailments ha...

Breaking Down Walls for Women Empowered Women Trainers Serve as Role Models

As gender-sensitive women teachers can be role models for girls, empowered women trainers can help teachers they train to understand and reduce stereotypes and prejudices by drawing on women's experience, or "lived realities." They can turn demeaned and devalued traditional female behaviours into respected assets that benefit themselves, their professions and their societies. All cultures have long recognized that "different" is too often a synonym for "deficient" and seen as a consequence of immutable female "nature." This can confine women to stereotyped and restricted gender roles. Feminism in the 1970's understandably accepted the "gender blind" argument that women's differences were a result of nurture (or lack of) rather than nature and if women were given the same opportunities as men, these differences would disappear. Since the 1980's a voluminous body of literature has acknowledged and heralded women's wa...
