The first ever manned aircraft that can fly day and night powered only by solar energy set a new distance record when its safely landed after the across America mission. It landed successfully at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport in the early hours of July 7th morning .The plane had taken off from Washington Dulles on 6th July, flying for 18 hours 23 minutes to complete the final leg of its 5,650 km journey . In total , the trip 105 hours and 41 minutes, with Solar Impulses travelling at an average speed of 53.3 km/h.

Andre Borschberg is one of two Swiss pioneers who alternately piloted the plane since it departed from San Francisco on 3 May, 2013. He and his fellow co-founder of Solar Impulses Bertrand Piccard flew first to Phoenix, Arizona, be-fore heading to Dallas and St. Louis and Washington D.C, before completing this final leg.

It has a slim body and four electric engines attached to enormous wings _flies quietly .Energy provided by 12,000 solar cells power the plane’s propellers . The plane can fly at night by reaching a high elevation of 8,230 meters and then gently glides downward, using almost no power until the sun comes up to begin recharging the solar cells.

Solar Impulse’s first took place in December 2009. After six years of preparation , the plane flew 350 meters and landed smoothly after being airborne for just 28 seconds. In June 2012, it made its first transcontinental flight from Madrid to Rabat in Morocco, completing the 830 km journey In just over 19 hours. The next goal is for the solar pow-ered aircraft to circumnavigate the globe in 2015.

Novel Scissor like bridge : Used during Emergencies

High strength Shotcrete: Protection from fire and terrorist attacks.

The natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, tsunamis and landslides necessitate the need to develop such type of bridge. It is a com-pact transportable bridge system developed by Dr. Ichiro Ario of Hiroshima University which can be used for rapid response in disasters.

Engineers at Ruhr-University Bochum have developed a Shotcrete which is much more ro-bust than traditional concrete. It can render tun-nels, bridges and other constructions more re-sistant against fires and explosions. The new formulas include 140kg steel fibres/m3 concrete- a figure that was thought to be impossible for Shotcrete.

“NEW OPTICAL CHIP LIGHTS UP THE RACE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTER”

The microprocessor inside a computer is a single mul-tipurpose chip that has revolutionized people’s life, allowing them to use one machine to surf the web, check e-mails and keep track of finances.

Now, researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in Japan, have pulled off the same feat for light in the quantum world by developing an optical chip that can process photons in an infinite no. of ways. It’s a major step forward in creating a quantum computer to solve problems such as designing new drugs, superfast database searches and performing other-wise intractable mathematics that aren’t possible for super computers. The fully reprogrammable chips brings together a multitude of existing quantum experiments and can re-lease a plethora of future protocols that have not even been conceived yet, marking a new era of research for quantum scientist and engineers at the cutting edge of quantum tech-nologies. Since before Newton help a prism to a ray of sunlight and saw a spectrum of color, scientist have under-stood nature through the behavior of light. In the modern age of research, scientist are striving to understand nature at the quantum level and to engineer and control quantum states of light and matter.

A major barrier in testing new theories for quantum science and quantum computing is the time and resources needed to build new experiments, which are typically extremely de-manding due to notoriously fragile nature of quantum sys-tems. This result shows a step change for experiments with photons, and what the future looks like for quantum tech-nologies.

Dr Anthony Laing, who led the project, said: “A whole field of research has essentially been put on to a single optical chip that is easily controlled. The implications of the work go beyond the huge resource savings. Now, anybody can run their own experiments with photons, much like they operate any other piece of a software on a computer. They no longer need to convince a physicist to devote many months of their life to painstakingly build and conduct a new experiment.”

The team demonstrated the chip’s unique capabilities by reprogramming it to rapidly perform a no. of different ex-periments, each of which would previously have taken many months to build.

I was watching one of my favorite movie 3 idiots again. Again with the same Interest, same curiosity, emotions, same excitement, same humor with same people. Perhaps everything same but I don’t know why every time I watch movie I start feeling the characters of the movie again. This time I observer the character Joy Lobo who sung the song “Give me Some Sunshine ….”every youngster has this on in their mind. Everyone thinks that this song is some or the other way related to their own life. At the end of the day everyone struggles in some form or the other, some-time in the entire life.

I know it happens with most of us. We all want something which we are not getting and something we get which we don’t want. Lets go back to the movie. The Character Joy Lobo, intelligent, hardworking, studying in one of the best college, trying to meet the expectations of his family and friends. What happened?? A fear of facing his father, fear of failure, fear of year back and the only solution he found was to end his life .I could not control my tears rolling down this time again. I know it is a movie but I also know that of the people find giving up as the easiest option in their life.

But is it appreciable? Forget about characters like Virus, they are moving along with us. We will find them in our family as well. But why to quit? Just with the imagination of loss or failure why to forget the past 20 years of strug-gle in your life which you got succeeded in. Can’t you control your disappointment for sometime?

Give me another chance I want to grow up once again. Friends you are already grown up forget about growing up once again as it’s a painful process. Do you really need more 20 years for another chance? Nobody is supposed to give you chance. Its your turn, its your life. You can take as many chances as you can. No one can stop you. Forget about 2-3 downfalls. Our computers sometime hang, most of the time it happens because of performing multiple task on single specified Brain. But we do not throw them away. We restart them, so re restart yourselves friends. Everything will be alright . Work hard. Increase Your awareness. Read as much as you can. Nothing will go in vain. Everything will help you. Don’t care about any taunts. I think this article have answered your Questions

DO NOT QUIT.

Take Another Chance. In Fact as many Chances as you want. Hope you people will come up with positive spirits. CHEERS…!!!

“WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION”

Wireless Power Transmission has been a dream since the days when Nikola Tesla imagined a world studded with enormous Tesla Coils. But aside from advances in recharging electric toothbrushes, wireless power has so far failed to make significant in roads into consumer level gear.

WHAT IS IT?

This Summer Intel researchers demonstrated a method based on MIT research for throwing electricity a distance few feet without wires and without any dangers to bystanders. Intel calls technology a “wireless resonant energy link” and It works by sending a specific,10 MHz signal through a coil of wire a similar nearby coil of wire. Reso-nates in tune with the frequency, causing Electrons to flow through that coil too. Though the design is primitive, it can light up a 60 watt Bulb with 70 percent efficiency.

WHEN IT IS COMING?

Numerous obstacles remain, the first of which is that the Intel project uses alternating current. To charge gadgets we’d have to see a direct current version and the size of the apparatus would have to be considerably smaller. Nu-merous regulatory hurdles would likely have to be cleared in commercializing such a system, and it would have to be thoroughly vetted for safety concerns. Assuming those all go reasonably well, such receiving circuitry could be integrated into the back of your laptop screen in roughly the next six to eight years. It would then be a simple mat-ter for your local or even Starbucks to embed the companion power transmitters right into the walls so you can get a quick charge without ever opening up your laptop bag.

the way to success...

Set your priorities as follows: Start with the subjects you are comfortable with. Make your concepts clear. Prepare short notes and make sure that you know every line of it.

Engineering Mathematics - dedicate 15 days for this and you will comfortably finish all the topics.

General Aptitude solve all the topics typical examples from R.S.Agarwal - 10 days

Your stream - prepare the analysis of last 5 year pa-pers and priorities the subjects on the percentage of marks and give the same percentage of days for each subject.

Finally the most important last 15 days only revise all the subjects in reverse order (3,2,1)

While preparing, list the important expressions, for-mulae and definitions sometimes there will be straight questions on these terms and definitions.

follow the logics in multiple choice questions like eliminating the odd ones, simple substitution for all these things you need practice and command over the terms and definitions,

1. Solve previous IES objective questions

2. Solve previous GATE questions Solve RK Kanodia or material from any institute.

All this should be completed in 3 months. In the last month, write as many mock tests as you can. Also go through pre-vious years' ISRO, DRDO papers. Analyse your mistakes and don’t forget to revise your short notes. Last but most important do not freak out in the exam, maintain your calm and try to attempt all those questions first which you are sure about and then validate your answers, strict NO to guesses and flukes, because if you are successful in getting 70 out of 100 you will definitely in top 100 or 150.

Hope this helps you.

do you know … How to calculate electricity consumption charges of our house???

Letussee..

1. Find total period (D tot) in days. Which is the difference in days between current reading date and last reading date.

2. Find number of months (M) i.e. (D_tot / 30) and round off the value, if any fraction comes. If actual days = 55 for a bi-monthly consumer, then consider

(2x30) = 60 days If actual days = 65 i.e. more than 60 for a bi-monthly consumer

(2x30) then consider actual days i.e. 65.

3. Apply the rate slabs by multiplying with the number of

months found. Consumer Number is 001840613531, which belongs to Residential category. The details are as follows. Billing Frequency is 2 Billed on normal for 2 months. Last reading date is 2/9/2004 Current reading date is 1/11/2004 Total period (T) is taken as the ( Difference of current reading date and last reading date ) - 1 which becomes 60 days. Total period is taken as 60 days. Number of months (M) becomes equal to (60/30) i.e. 2 Consumption C is 118 units Monthly Consumption = 59 Units

Final EC Becomes equal to Rs. 243.20.

“IntelligenceGoogle Project Loon

Project Loon, the once seemingly crazy and a very innovative idea of floating giants balloons into the stratosphere to provide Internet access to re-mote areas. Loon is an ambitious attempt to bring the Internet to the roughly 5 billion people on the planet who are out of range of existing networks. We think that the internet can be accessed globally. Overall,5 billion people worldwide have no Internet access and most of them don’t even have the capa-bility to get it because there’s absolutely no coverage. The motto of loon pro-ject is to provide access to much more underserved areas of the world such as Africa, where only 10% of people have Internet access, and Brazil, where kids often climb high on trees with cell phones to get a better signal. Google’s am-bitious plan to deliver Internet service from enormous balloons floating in the stratosphere. Project Loon is a network of balloons travelling on the extremity of space, which is designed to connect the unreachable remote areas, help fill the network gap. Project loon floats in the stratosphere twice as high as air-plane and the weather. It’s also in a part of the atmosphere criss-crossed by high-altitude winds, so Google can steer the balloons by moving them up and down to catch air currents moving in different directions. Loon can provide Internet coverage to 5,000 square kilometers. Anyone with a smartphone any-where in the world will be able to get Internet access. Google’s chief goal for loon is to bring the Internet to people around the world. Indeed, a very fasci-nating approach by google to connect the far corners of the world. -Simeen Sheikh (3rd Year)

Document database with mangoDB In document database such as mangoDB the smallest unit is docu-

ment. In mangoDB, documents are stored in collection, which in turn make up a database. Document are analogus to rows in SQL table, but every docu-ment needs to have same structure, each of them can have different fields and that is very useful feature in many situations. Another feature of man-goDb is that fields in a document can contain arrays and or sub-documents. MangoDB’s strengths:

Supporting a different set of fields for each document in a collection is one of mangoDB’s features. It allows you to store similar data, but with dif-ferent properties in the same collection. A good example of these storing real documents such a way that is beneficial for content management system (CMS). Data model:

Each document in collection MangoDB can look totally different, and how you structure your documents it’s up to you. MangoDb does not enforce a Schema, but your application still should. Although mangoDB is generally very fast, the way how you structure and index your documents and collec-tions has big influence on the performance of your application while design-ing your schema you should focus more on how the data is inserted,updated and queried and less on how data is structured. - Neha Alone(4th year)

Henry Ford was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford motor Company, and sponsor of the develop-ment of the assembly line technique of mass production.

Although Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford. In doing so, Ford converted the auto-mobile from an expensive curiosity into a practical conveyance that would profoundly impact the land-scape of the twentieth century. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with “FORDISM” mass production of inexpensive goods cou-pled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innova-tions, including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents

DEPARTMENT OF MINING ENGINEERING

PLEDGE “…..We the Members of the

Mining Engineers’ Association of India

Salute our National Flag and pledge,

While observing 1st November, every year as

‘Indian Mining Day’

That it will be our endeavour to uphold and follow,

With all sincerity and integrity,

the best scientific methods

To PROSPECT, PRODUCE, and to PRESERVE

The MINERAL RESOURCES

For the PROSPERITY of our Nation…..”

Our big brown land is rich in resources and, as a result, is a major supplier of minerals and energy to the world. But how to extract those resources efficiently remains a constant chal-lenge faced by governments and industry everywhere.

Mining engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the practice, the theory, the science, the technology, and application of extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment. However, mining engineering is associated with many other sister department within like geology, mineral processing and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering, surveying. A mining engineers manages all phases of mining operations – from exploration and discovery of the mineral resource, through feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure.

From prehistoric time to present, mining has played an important part in human existence. The history of mining is fascinating. It parallels the history of civilization, with many important cul-tural eras associated with and identified by various minerals or their derivatives: the Stone Age (prior to 4000 B.C.E), the Bronze Age (4000 to 5000 B.C.E), the Iron Age (1500 B.C.E. to 1780 C.E), the Steel Age (1780 to 1945), and the Nuclear age (1945 to present).

Mining of resources, played a very major part of developing nation . This may also amaze you ,

Mining may well have been the second of humankind’s earliest endeavors –granted that agri-culture is the first.

The list of mines in India: Diamond, Manganese, Iron ore, copper, Bauxite, Coal, Oil and for-tunately India is the largest producer of sheet mica, the third largest producer of iron ore and the fifth largest producer of bauxite in the world. India is the largest deposits of man-ganese in the world, and is leading producer as exporter of manganese ore. Which is ex-ported to JAPAN, EUROPE (Sweden, Belgium…etc.).

The country produces and works with roughly 100 minerals, which are an important source for earning foreign exchange as well satisfying domestic need.

Mining holds in india an over 3100 mines, out of which over 550 are fuel mines, over 560 metal mines, over 1960 mines for nonmetals.

According to a Survey,

it seems that Mining Engineers in India are earning relatively high salaries in comparison to many other professions. However, the salaries are always highly determined by the level of skill, where the organization is based and which organization you are working for. In comparison to salaries of Mining Engineer’s working in other regions, such as Canada, the United States, Aus-tralia and the United Kingdom, the salaries are dismal, however when comparing salaries from one region to another, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as the cost of living etc.

FIRST YEAR…What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is Internet based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information is provided to computers and other devices on demand like electric-ity grid. The cloud represents the internet. Cloud computing is a new name for an old concept: the delivery of computing services from a remote location. Cloud com-puting services are delivered through a network, usually the Internet. Characteristics: Cloud computing has following five characteristics:

On demand self-service. Users are able to provision, monitor and manage computing resources as needed without the help of human administrators.

Broad network access. Computing services are delivered over standard net-works and heterogeneous devices.

Rapid elasticity. IT resources are able to scale out and in quickly and on as needed basis.

Resource pooling. IT resources are shared across multiple applications and tenants in a non-dedicated manner.

Measured service. IT resource utilization is tracked for each application and tenant, typically for public cloud billing or private cloud charge back.

Deployment models There are different types of clouds that you can subscribe to depending on your needs. As a home user or small business owner you will most likely use public cloud services. Four deployment models of cloud are:

Private clouds: these are the clouds for exclusive use by a single organization and typically controlled, managed and hosted in private data centers.

Public clouds: these are the clouds for use by several organizations on a shared basis and hosted and managed by a third party basis.

Community clouds: these are the clouds for use by a group of related organi-zations who wish to make use of a common cloud computing environment.

Hybrid clouds: when a single organization adopts both private and public clouds for a single application in order to take advantage of the benefits of both.

Issues in cloud computing Major issues that require proper attention in cloud computing are:

Privacy: privacy concern relate to the privacy of hosted data, the user data whether the host company can access the hosted user data with or without permission. Cloud computing poses privacy concerns because the service provider may access the data that is on the cloud at any point in time.

Compliance: there are many regulations in place related data and hosting. To comply with regulations users may have to adopt community or hybrid de-ployment modes that are more expensive and may offer restricted benefits.

Security: when using cloud base services one is entrusting their data to a third party for storage and security. Cloud sourcing involves the use of many ser-vices and many cloud based servers provide services to each other. They may share user’s information with advertisers as well.

IT’S RAINING DIAMOND ON JUPI-TER AND SATURN! Scientists have claimed that Jupiter and Saturn just might be filled to the brim and diamonds. According to researchers, chunks of dia-monds may be floating in hydrogen and helium fluid deep in the atmospheres of Saturn and Jupiter, fox news reported. What’s more, at even lower depth, the ex-treme pressure and temperature can melt the precious gem, literally making it rain liquid diamond, researchers said. “the new data available has confirmed that at depth, diamonds maybe floating around inside of Saturn, some growing so large that they could perhaps be called ‘diamond bergs’,” officials from California specialty engineer in Pasadena, California , wrote in a statement. Planetary scientist Mona Delitsky of CSE and Kevin Braine of the University of Wis-consin-Madison conducted the research. Diamonds can from when elemental carbon, like graphite or soot created by huge light-ning storms on Saturn, falls into the deep atmosphere of the planet where it is crushed into the gem, Baines and Delitsky said. That solid diamond then move further into the depths of the planet, where they turn into a liquid near the core. Scientists have known that stable dia-monds may exist in the relatively chilly cores of Neptune and Uranus, but until now, Jupiter and Saturn were through too hot to allow solid, stable diamond forma-tion. “Diamonds are forever on Uranus and Nep-tune and not on Jupiter and Saturn,” Delit-sky and Baines wrote. In a book called Alien Seas (Springer 2013), Baines and Delitsky detailed the story of how robotic mining ships may eventually be able to roam the interior of Saturn sometime in the future to collect diamond and return them to Earth. - SHRADDHA YADAV

WHY DO WE LOSE AT GAMES? A university of Manchester physicist has discovered that some games are simply impossible to fully learn or too com-plex for the human mind to understand. Dr Tobias Galla from the University of Manchester and pro-fessor doyen farmer from Oxford University and the Santa ran thousands of simulations of two player game to see how human behavior affects their decision making. In simple games with a small number of moves such as noughts and crosses the optimal strategy is easy to guess and the game quickly becomes uninteresting. However, when games became more complex and when there are a lot of moves such as chess the board game go, or the complex card games, the academic argue the player’s actions become less rational and that is hard to find optimal strate-gies. This research could also have implications for the financial markets. Many economists base financial predictions of how markets react being widely inaccurate. Much of tradit6ional game theory, the basis for strategic de-cision making is based on the equilibrium point- players or workers having a deep and perfect knowledge of what they are doing and of what their opponents are doing. Dr. Galla, from the school of physics and astronomy said: “equilibrium is not always the right thing you should look for in a game”. “In many situations, people do not play equilibrium strate-gies, instead what they do can look like random or chaotic for a variety of reasons so it is not always appropriate to base predictions on the equilibrium model.” “With trading with the stock market, for example, you can have thousands of different stock to choose from, and people do not always behave rationally in these situations or they do not have sufficient information to act rationally. This can have a profound effect on how the markets react”. “It could be that we need to drop these conventional game theories and instead use new approaches to predict how people might behave”. -RADHA BHUSANWAR
