World’s First Invisible Skyscraper To Be Built In South Korea

The trends of buildings shifted to skyscrapers and since then we have been witnessing more and more stylish skyscrapers rising up to the sky and talking to clouds. However, have you noticed how they block out the view? Yeah, they kind of kill the scenic beauty that we all crave for, don’t they? Today’s article is about how Engineers have come up with a solution for that.

The South Koreans have come up with the idea of buildings by raising a skyscraper that can turn invisible. The idea is to cover the entire building with cameras and LEDs. The LEDs will display whatever the cameras on the other side are looking at.

That means it will be virtually invisible to everybody and hence the skyline will always have clouds and blue skies. That’s wonderful engineering indeed!

Five Important Success lessons to learn from Sachin Tendulkar’s Career

During his 24 exciting years in International cricket, there was hardly anything that Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar did not achieve in the cricket field – fame, recognition, respect, fear in opponents’ heart – he had it all. No doubt why he was always undisputedly referred to as the Bradman of modern cricket. And as far the cricket-crazy Indian populace was concerned, he was the God, the master blaster, and what not! However, the greatness of one of the most beloved son of the soil India has ever produced, is not confined to the cricket field only.

He kissed the final goodbye to all forms of cricket at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai couple of days back, thus closing the curtain on a glorious career that started from an an early age of mere 16. As a homage to the batting maestro, we are shedding light into some of the most important success lessons to learn from Sachin’s lengthy cricket career.

1. Be passionate about your goal

This is indeed the most important aspect that you ought to excel in whatever it is that you are pursuing. The reason why Sachin could accomplish so much in cricket because he was always passionate about the game – even after dedicating over two and half decades on it. Being passionate about your goal is always as much important as hard work, which incidentally happens to be the second entry in this list.

2. Hard work

There’s hardly any doubt that Sachin always stood out even amongst the brightest of the cricket players across the world. But have you ever wondered what is it that makes him so special? The answer would obviously be years and years of hard work. Despite all the accomplishment, Sachin never stopped practicing as much hard as he had done in the early years of his career. The bottom line, therefore, is – hard work is the pillar of success no matter which profession you are in. There’s simply no shortcuts whatsoever.

3. Be calm

If you are a keen follower of the game, you must have seen many renowned cricketers snap on or off field for some reason or the other, but Tendulkar was never one of them. Besides his incredible talent, what makes Sachin one of the most respected faces in the world cricket is his quiet and calm nature. This is, in fact, another key ingredient for success.

4. Be humble

Sachin’s humble and down to earth nature is something that adds even more charm not just to his cricketing abilities, but also to his overall persona. The trick here is to never allow your success get into your head.

5. Ability to bounce back hard

Despite all the success, Sachin’s lengthy career also witnessed its own share of misfortunes. In fact, at one point, his career was at the risk of succumbing to injuries. But he never let those down times affect his morale – he kept on trying with full dedication and the rest, as they say, is history. The morale here is – never give up on your goals no matter how tough the challenges thrown at you are.

Why banking is preferred choice for job aspirants in India

 Banking is undoubtedly one of the most preferred choices for job aspirants in India.Every year, tens of thousands of aspirants from across the country apply for openings in banks in both public and private domain.

But, the million dollar question here is – what is it that turn banking into such a lucrative sector for job aspirants? Well, in reality, it’s a combination of a multitude of factors. To help you understand better, we have come up with some of the most prominent reasons why banking has been traditionally one of the most preferred choices for job aspirants at a pan-India level.

1)    Due to their sheer large size and global outreach, banks are exciting to work for. Most of the banks operating in the country provide top-notch working conditions, attractive compensation packages, as well as great learning opportunities.

2)    Banks usually create thousands of employment opportunities every year, and the figure is likely to increase with every passing year. According to various industry estimates, hiring in the sector is going to be over a million in the next 5 years.

3)    Considering the fact that the government is focusing hard on higher rural penetration and financial inclusion, the banking sector indeed comes with huge headroom for growth.

4)    The recruitment drive of banks across the country is not confined to just metro cities. Instead, more and more banks today are recruiting from tier-ii and iii cities, as well as rural areas. This means candidates from both urban and rural areas are provided with equal opportunities when it comes to securing a job in the banking sector.

5)    Both public and private banks use written tests and personal interviews for recruitment. But, unlike in the past, written tests are now held online and candidates are no longer required to travel thousands of miles to another city to appear in these tests.

6)    From the last couple of years, the IBPS has come up with a common written test (CWE) for the recruitment of officers in clerks in 20 public sector/regional rural banks. This essentially means that candidates need to appear in only one written test to make their way through the gateway to 20 banks in the public sector.

7)    Banks are increasingly intensifying their efforts to train and recruit the right candidates. As a result, they are tying up with various universities and learning institutions to get skilled and well trained candidates.

photon

A photon is a fundamental particle of light (does not have any sub-particles). The photon is massless and has no electric charge. In empty space the photon travels at the speed of light. The concept of the photon was developed by Albert Einstein. 

Photoelectric Effect

The photoelectric effect occurs when matter emits electrons upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation, such as photons of light. Here's a closer look at what the photoelectric effect is and how it works.

Overview of the Photoelectric Effect

The photoelectric effect is studied in part because it can be an introduction to wave-particle duality and quantum mechanics.

When a surface is exposed to sufficiently energetic electromagnetic energy, light will be absorbed and electrons will be emitted. The threshold frequency is different for different materials. It is visible light for alkali metals, near-ultraviolet light for other metals, and extreme-ultraviolet radiation for nonmetals. The photoelectric effect occurs with photons having energies from a few electronvolts to over 1 MeV. At the high photon energies comparable to the electron rest energy of 511 keV, Compton scattering may occur pair production may take place at energies over 1.022 MeV.

Einstein proposed that light consisted of quanta, which we call photons. He suggested that the energy in each quantum of light was equal to the frequency multiplied by a constant (Planck's constant) and that a photon with a frequency over a certain threshold would have sufficient energy to eject a single electron, producing the photoelectric effect. It turns out that light does not need to be quantized in order to explain the photoelectric effect, but some textbooks persist in saying that the photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light.

Einstein's Equations for the Photoelectric Effect

Einstein's interpretation of the photoelectric effect results in equations which are valid for visible and ultraviolet light:

energy of photon = energy needed to remove an electron + kinetic energy of the emitted electron

hν = W + E

where
h is Planck's constant
ν is the frequency of the incident photon
W is the work function, which is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a given metal: hν0
E is the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons: 1/2 mv2
ν0 is the threshold frequency for the photoelectric effect
m is the rest mass of the ejected electron
v is the speed of the ejected electron

No electron will be emitted if the incident photon's energy is less than the work function.

Applying Einstein's special theory of relativity, the relation between energy (E) and momentum (p) of a particle is

E = [(pc)2 + (mc2)2](1/2)

where m is the rest mass of the particle and c is the velocity of light in a vacuum.

• The rate at which photoelectrons are ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light, for a given frequency of incident radiation and metal.
• The time between the incidence and emission of a photoelectron is very small, less than 10–9 second.
• For a given metal, there is a minimum frequency of incident radiation below which the photoelectic effect will not occur so no photoelectrons can be emitted (threshold frequency).
• Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron depends on the frequency of the incident radiation but is independent of its intensity.
• If the incident light is linearly polarized then the directional distribution of emitted electrons will peak in the direction of polarization (the direction of the electric field).

Fermions and bosons

Fermions and bosons

All fundamental particles in nature can be divided into one of two categories, Fermions or Bosons. The table below enumerates the differences.

Fermions	half-integral spin	only one per state	Examples: electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, neutrinos
Bosons	integral spin	Many can occupy the same state	Examples: photons, 4He atoms, gluons

Bosons have intrinsic angular momenta in integral units of h/(2p). For instance the spin of a photon is either +1 or -1 and the spin of a ⁴He atom is always zero. Many bosons can occupy a single quantum state. This allows them to behave collectively and is responsible for the behavior of lasers and superfluid helium. Only one fermion can exist in a given quantum state. This is known as the Pauli exclusion principle which is the subject of the next page.

Any object which is comprised of an even number of fermions is a boson, while any particle which is comprised of an odd number of fermions is a fermion. For example, a proton is made of three quarks, hence it is a fermion. A ⁴He atom is made of 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons, hence it is a boson.

FERMIONS

In particle physics, fermions are particles that obey Fermi–Dirac statistics. They are named after Enrico Fermi. In contrast to bosons, which obey Bose–Einstein statistics, only one fermion can occupy a quantum state at a given time.

If more than one fermion occupies the same place in space, at least one other property for each fermion, e.g., its spin, must be different from the rest. Fermions are usually associated with matter while bosons are often force carrier particles, though the distinction between the two concepts in quantum physics is unclear.

A fermion can be an elementary particle, like the electron, or a composite particle, like the proton. The spin-statistics theorem states that in any reasonable relativisticquantum field theory particles with integer spin are bosons, while particles withhalf-integer spin are fermions.

The Standard Model recognizes two types of elementary fermions: quarks andleptons. In total, the model distinguishes 24 different fermions: 6 quarks and 6 leptons, each with a corresponding antiparticle.

Composite fermions, such as protons and neutrons, are essential building blocks of matter. Weakly interacting fermions can also display bosonic behavior, as insuperconductivity.

HRD Ministry okays IIT, IIM, 3 central universities for Seemandhra

The HRD Ministry has given its nod for an IIT, an IIM and three central universities among other institutes for the Seemandhra region which has witnessed widespread resentment over the Centre's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.

The Ministry has conveyed its decision to the Home Ministry which had forwarded representations made by different stakeholders to it earlier in response to the GoM on Telangana inviting suggestions on bifurcation of the state. The decision would be placed before the GoM for consideration, sources in the Ministry said. The ministry has also cleared an IISER and an IIIT for the region. The move is aimed at striking a balance between the two regions -- Telangana and Seemandhra -- as far as establishment of premier institutes are concerned, though the end objective is to ensure that students derive maximum benefit, they said.

Rough estimate suggests an investment in the range of Rs. 6000 to Rs. 7000 crore for establishment of the institutes in the Seemandhra region. The ministry's decision assumes significance as the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh will leave the Seemandhra region without any of the elite higher educational institutes which are mostly concentrated in Hyderabad in the Telangana region.

HRD Minister M. M. Pallam Raju represents the Kakinanda constituency in Seemandhra. In their representation, various stakeholders had suggested that all central institutions in Seemandhra should be backed by a bill and all national parties should sign it. "Most of the highly developed educational institutions are going to the state of Telangana. The Centre should immediately grant the above said institutions and they should come into operation within a year," the representations said.

Many switched careers to join IPS

Figures provided by the SVP National Police Academy indicate that those who are already in other professions, or who have completed their post graduations, mostly in engineering, are opting to join the force. The average age for IPS trainees is 28 years. This time, more than half of those who passed out from the National Police Academy were above 28 years of age. And 76 per cent of the 136 trainees have previous work experience. SVP National Police Academy data states that 104 IPS trainees, including 18 women, had previous work experience.

An IG rank state police official said, “Most of them have previous work experience and IPS has become a second profession. In general category too several who got into civil services were in the 28-30 years age bracket.” Of the 136 trainees who passed out, 67 were in general category, 39 in OBC, 17 in ST and 13 in ST category.

The trainees of the 65th IPS batch also came from different social strata. Shalini Agnihotri of Himachal Pradesh, who is the best all-round officer, is the daughter of a bus conductor. She won the Prime Minister’s baton and Home Ministry’s revolver for the best all-round officer trainee.

Meanwhile M. Harshavardhan, another IPS trainee, is the son of M.V. Rao, an additional DG-rank IPS official of Jharkhand cadre. Harshavardhan said, “The trend of more engineering students coming into civil services has increased after 2008.There were no jobs in the private sector then. We have to work hard and IPS is a challenging service.” His father said, “I am very proud of my son... he has chosen the path which I am leading.” Another IPS trainee, Joby Thomas K., a native of Kerala who was allotted West Bengal cadre, is the son of a farmer. “It was tough, but the training was great,” he said.

IT firms have more staff in India than home nations

 It's a measure of India's strength in software services and the number of engineers it produces that some of the world's largest IT companies have more employees in India now than in their home countries.

And increasingly, these foreign companies are shifting their consulting base to India, thanks to the talent coming out of the country's business schools.

IBM, the biggest in the business, has been steadily reducing its US employee numbers and has simultaneously increased sharply its Indian ones. The company does not officially break up its employee numbers by geography, but the IBM employee organization Alliance@IBM puts the US figure for 2012 at 91,000, down from 127,000 in 2006. The last time IBM provided figures for India was in 2007, when it said it had 73,000 employees here. Since then, all estimates suggest that the company has added another 50,000 to 60,000 employees, taking the total count to about 1.3 lakh.

That puts the India number at more than 40% of the US figure. It also means — given IBM's global headcount of 4.3 lakh — that one in almost every three IBM employee is in India.

Around one-third of the global workforce employed in top IT companies is based in India — a sign of the fact that our country is virtually turning into the global IT headquarters.

Accenture's strength in India, at over 90,000, is more than double that in the US (its traditional home), at about 43,000. The company has a total strength of 2.75 lakh, which means India accounts for a third of its workforce. French IT major Capgemini has over 44,000 of its 1.25 lakh employees in India; its staff strength in India grew by 50% in just the past two-and-a-half years. It has just 20,000 staffers in its home country, France. Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) has 24,000 of its 98,000 employees in India. However, TOI could not obtain its US strength that in India would be at least its second largest operation.

Most of the IT services companies are also now building strong consulting strengths in India — consultants that are used not just for India, but also for global engagements. Capgemini India started establishing this business two years ago and already has 200 consultants, a number that has doubled in the past year.

Difference between Mealy and Moore FSM.

• Mealy machine is a finite-state machine whose output values are determined both by its current state and the current inputs. While Moore machine is a finite-state machine whose output values are determined solely by its current state.
• Moore FSM will require more no. of states than Mealy FSM to accomplish the same task.
• The output logic of a Mealy state machine may be more complex than the output logic of an equivalent Moore state machine, and therefore use more product terms.
• To program Moore FSM is very easy and to program Mealy FSM is complex.
• Mealy FSM is faster than Moore FSM.
