Computers and technology in banking services in India

Today we live in a technology driven world. Industrial revolution gave birth to giant machines for industrial advancement and information technology has delivered intelligent machines to revolutionize human development. Today we are surrounded by automated smart technology, which has touched almost all spheres of human life, from military to medicine and from education to the election. Electronic banking or e-banking is the fusion of information technology with the banking system

A command and data subsystem for deep space exploration based on the RCA 1802 microprocessor in a distributed configuration

The Command and Data Subsystem (CDS) is an RCA 1802microprocessor based subsystem that acts as the central nervous system for the Galileo Orbiter Spacecraft. All communication between the ground and spacecraft flows through the CDS. The CDS also distributes commands in real time, algorithmetrically expanded from a data base loaded from the ground and in response to spacecraft alarms. The distributed microprocessor system is configured as a redundant set of hardware with three microprocessors on each half. The microprocessors are surrounded by a group of special purpose hardware components which greatly enhance the ability of the software to perform its task. It is shown how the software architecture makes a distributed system of six microprocessors appear to each user as a single virtual machine, and collectively as a set of cooperating virtual machines that prevent the simultaneous presence of the several users from interfering destructively with each other

Neo-Industrialism: A New Age of Architectural Craft

We live in a world where speed precedes everything we do. From our forms of socializing, to communication, to building buildings, we are constantly surrounded by the need for faster processes. The human brain has its limits, but machines enable us to think faster, do faster, and to create concepts that were impossible before. In architecture, we use digital technologies to facilitate imagination, to create new forms, and we then need the same technologies to build them

"Virus hunting" using radial distance weighted discrimination

Motivated by the challenge of using DNA-seq data to identify viruses in human blood samples, we propose a novel classification algorithm called "Radial Distance Weighted Discrimination" (or Radial DWD). This classifier is designed for binary classification, assuming one class is surrounded by the other class in very diverse radial directions, which is seen to be typical for our virus detection data. This separation of the 2 classes in multiple radial directions naturally motivates the development of Radial DWD. While classical machine learning methods such as the Support Vector Machine and linear Distance Weighted Discrimination can sometimes give reasonable answers for a given data set, their generalizability is severely compromised because of the linear separating boundary. Radial DWD addresses this challenge by using a more appropriate (in this particular case) spherical separating boundary. Simulations show that for appropriate radial contexts, this gives much better generalizability than linear methods, and also much better than conventional kernel based (nonlinear) Support Vector Machines, because the latter methods essentially use much of the information in the data for determining the shape of the separating boundary. The effectiveness of Radial DWD is demonstrated for real virus detection.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/15-AOAS869 in the Annals of Applied Statistics (http://www.imstat.org/aoas/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

ebanking in India

Today we live in a technology driven world. Industrial revolution gave birth to giant machines for industrial advancement and information technology has delivered intelligent machines to revolutionize human development. Today we are surrounded by automated smart technology, which has touched almost all spheres of human life, from military to medicine and from education to the election. Electronic banking or e-banking is the fusion of information technology with the banking system. Thus the term electronic banking generically refers to various terms connected with virtual banking and often interchangeably used with the term internet banking. The Rangarajan Committees drew a phased plan for bank computerization in the 1980’s which recommended computerization of banks at various levels. The systematic use of Core Banking Solution (CBS) was another milestone development in the history of ebanking in India

One-Tape Turing Machine Variants and Language Recognition

We present two restricted versions of one-tape Turing machines. Both characterize the class of context-free languages. In the first version, proposed by Hibbard in 1967 and called limited automata, each tape cell can be rewritten only in the first $d$ visits, for a fixed constant $d\geq 2$. Furthermore, for $d=2$ deterministic limited automata are equivalent to deterministic pushdown automata, namely they characterize deterministic context-free languages. Further restricting the possible operations, we consider strongly limited automata. These models still characterize context-free languages. However, the deterministic version is less powerful than the deterministic version of limited automata. In fact, there exist deterministic context-free languages that are not accepted by any deterministic strongly limited automaton.Comment: 20 pages.

Averaged null energy condition in a classical curved background

The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) states that the integral along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the tangent vector to the geodesic cannot be negative. Exotic spacetimes, such as those allow wormholes or the construction of time machines are possible in general relativity only if ANEC is violated along achronal geodesics. Starting from a conjecture that flat-space quantum inequalities apply with small corrections in spacetimes with small curvature, we prove that ANEC is obeyed by a minimally-coupled, free quantum scalar field on any achronal null geodesic surrounded by a tubular neighborhood whose curvature is produced by a classical source

Workplaces in the cinema

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the representation of workplaces in the cinema and discuss its relevance to facilities management research. Design/methodology/approach – An analysis of representation of work and the workplace in three films is made. These are Metropolis (1927), Wall Street (1987) and Clerks (1994). Cross-case themes are then discussed. Findings – Although the three films are of different time periods and genres a number of common themes emerge. These include level of control over the work process, alienation from the product of work and social capital gained. This may have implications for how workplaces are perceived and interpreted. Analysis of representations of the workplace in popular culture may contribute to user-centred approaches to facilities management. Research limitations/implications – The study is limited to three films. A different choice might produce different results. Practical implications – Understanding representations of the workplace in popular culture may give insights into user responses to management actions. Originality/value – Although there is a research literature on the analysis of popular culture within organizational studies this has not been taken up by facilities management researchers. This paper explores the relevance of the analysis of an aspect of popular culture for facilities management
