Learning 101: The untaught basics
Despite the accessibility of a wealth of information in the current era-books, universities, and online massive open online courses (MOOCs)-well-intentioned and hard-working students often fail to learn effectively due to deficient learning techniques or improper mind-sets. Two things, in particular, hinder students from achieving their potential. First, the students' intuition regarding how learning works is often flawed and counterproductive; second, despite significant progress in the research discipline of "learning sciences," these hard-earned scientific insights have not yet filtered their way through the research community to the students who stand to benefit most from this knowledge

Critical impact energy for local impact damage of hard projectile on concrete slab
Concrete is a common construction material used to build conventional, un�conventional, and sensitive structures. Great demand exists for efficient designing of
concrete as protective structures against impact loading generated by natural
disasters and consciously engendered unpleasant incidents etc. When hard projectile
collides with concrete wall it is the impact energy of the projectile that makes
concrete target to deform, which means impact energy is the dominant cause of
damage in impact accidents. Hard missile impact can generate both local (penetration,
scabbing, and perforation) and global impact damage. Local damage studies
normally fall into three categories, i.e. empirical formulation, idealised analytical
models, and numerical simulations. The present study is curiously focused on the
required critical impact energy for occurrence of local impact damage in concrete
structures generated by hard projectile, via three categories i). Numerical simulation,
ii). Analytical modelling, and iii). Empirical formula The numerical simulations were conducted to determine the critical impact
energy of ogive nose hard projectile which causes maximum penetration in to the
concrete structures. The effects of diameter and CRH ratio of ogive nose hard
projectile on critical impact energy were also analysed. An analytical model is
developed to predict the required critical impact energy for spalling, tunnelling and
penetration in concrete target. A nose shape factor (Ni) also has been introduced with
empirical friction factor (Nf) in Chen and Li nose shape factor (N*
), to analyze the
effects of nose shape on critical impact energy. Furthermore, an empirical formula
also has been developed.
The early stage scabbing phenomenon has been observed through the wave
propagation in simulations with fully elastic model assumptions. The critical impact
energy required for scabbing of concrete target and the effects of diameter of projectile (d) and the target thickness (H) on critical impact energy has been
observed. An analytical model is developed based on 1-Dimensional with reflected
wave propagation, and shear assumptions. Furthermore, an empirical formula also
has been introduced.
For perforation, the penetration numerical simulations have been further
extended to achieve perforation in deep concrete against impact of ogive nose hard
projectile with CRH = (3.0, 4.25, and 6.0). The required critical impact energy and
residual impact energy has been analysed. Furthermore, the modifications in Li and
Reid (2006) perforation model also have been done. In Addition a new empirical
formula also has been introduced.
The out come of this study can be used for making design recommendation
and design procedures for determining the dynamic response of the concrete target to
prevent local impact damag
Will 5G See its Blind Side? Evolving 5G for Universal Internet Access
Internet has shown itself to be a catalyst for economic growth and social
equity but its potency is thwarted by the fact that the Internet is off limits
for the vast majority of human beings. Mobile phones---the fastest growing
technology in the world that now reaches around 80\% of humanity---can enable
universal Internet access if it can resolve coverage problems that have
historically plagued previous cellular architectures (2G, 3G, and 4G). These
conventional architectures have not been able to sustain universal service
provisioning since these architectures depend on having enough users per cell
for their economic viability and thus are not well suited to rural areas (which
are by definition sparsely populated). The new generation of mobile cellular
technology (5G), currently in a formative phase and expected to be finalized
around 2020, is aimed at orders of magnitude performance enhancement. 5G offers
a clean slate to network designers and can be molded into an architecture also
amenable to universal Internet provisioning. Keeping in mind the great social
benefits of democratizing Internet and connectivity, we believe that the time
is ripe for emphasizing universal Internet provisioning as an important goal on
the 5G research agenda. In this paper, we investigate the opportunities and
challenges in utilizing 5G for global access to the Internet for all (GAIA). We
have also identified the major technical issues involved in a 5G-based GAIA
solution and have set up a future research agenda by defining open research
problems
How 5G wireless (and concomitant technologies) will revolutionize healthcare?
The need to have equitable access to quality healthcare is enshrined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which defines the developmental agenda of the UN for the next 15 years. In particular, the third SDG focuses on the need to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. In this paper, we build the case that 5G wireless technology, along with concomitant emerging technologies (such as IoT, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning), will transform global healthcare systems in the near future. Our optimism around 5G-enabled healthcare stems from a confluence of significant technical pushes that are already at play: apart from the availability of high-throughput low-latency wireless connectivity, other significant factors include the democratization of computing through cloud computing; the democratization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing (e.g., IBM Watson); and the commoditization of data through crowdsourcing and digital exhaust. These technologies together can finally crack a dysfunctional healthcare system that has largely been impervious to technological innovations. We highlight the persistent deficiencies of the current healthcare system and then demonstrate how the 5G-enabled healthcare revolution can fix these deficiencies. We also highlight open technical research challenges, and potential pitfalls, that may hinder the development of such a 5G-enabled health revolution
Relation of Urobilinogen Presence Resence in the Selection of Food (Salty or Sweet)?
The total amount of 100 subjects were contributed in this review and all were the students who are studying in Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. The bilirubin is metabolized in the gut which produced a colorless pigment known as urobilinogen. It is by-product of bilirubin which is used to break down the red blood cells in hemolysis. Salty food contains usually more minerals and vitamins while sweet food is enriched with carbohydrates, water and many other fats soluble substances. Every person has a unique taste according to their taste buds. A questionnaire based was made to relate the urobilinogen with the food (salty or sweet). Urinalysis is a method which is used to measure the urobilinogen in urine. It was concluded that there is a scientific relation between the presence of urobilinogen in urine with eating of salty or sugary food. Table no. 1 represents that urobilinogen play important role in the choice of eating either salty food more or sweet
Oman Construction Industry Prospective on Cause of Construction Material Waste
Construction industry is second largest industry in gulf countries, that continuously rapidly growing. Similar to other countries around the world, construction industries in gulf region also facing problems due to oil industry uncertainties. Construction industry of gulf countries, construction material waste is getting higher concern. This paper aims to identify various factors in construction management causing construction material waste at Muscat, and Nizwa cities in Oman. Seventy-one (71) factors were collected from literature around the world and organized in structured questionnaire distributed amongst the construction experts focusing clients, consultants and contractors involved in the construction projects. The questionnaire was designed in such a way to collect construction waste causing factors in five major categories in (Design, Handling, Workers, Management, Procurement, and Site conditions). The collected data were analyzed by using Average Index method for each factor. Furthermore, construction material waste causing factors analyzed by individual response of client, consultant and contractor prospective. Analysis identified that ‘frequent design changes’; ‘wrong material storage’; ‘worker’s mistakes during construction’; ‘poor supervision’; ‘mistakes in quantity surveys’; and ‘poor site conditions’; are highest significant causes in each category respectively. The result of this study is useful to create or/and improve guideline considering waste generated from construction industry, to avoid problems in looming construction. It is concluded that the government organizations or/and construction industry itself can develop or improve legislation for avoiding construction material waste
Feasibility, Architecture and Cost Considerations of Using TVWS for Rural Internet Access in 5G
The cellular technology is mostly an urban technology that has been unable to serve rural areas well. This is because the traditional cellular models are not economical for areas with low user density and lesser revenues. In 5G cellular networks, the coverage dilemma is likely to remain the same, thus widening the rural-urban digital divide further. It is about time to identify the root cause that has hindered the rural technology growth and analyse the possible options in 5G architecture to address this issue. We advocate that it can only be accomplished in two phases by sequentially addressing economic viability followed by performance progression. We deliberate how various works in literature focus on the later stage of this ‘two-phase’ problem and are not feasible to implement in the first place. We propose the concept of TV band white space (TVWS) dovetailed with 5G infrastructure for rural coverage and show that it can yield cost-effectiveness from a service provider’s perspective
RELATION OF FALOODA ICE CREAM LOVING WITH LEUKOCYTES IN URINE
Cells that protect us from infectious disease called white blood cell. There are five main types of leukocytes and they have short life cycle. Due to high range of white blood cells in urine mostly women have urinary infection. Large number of cells into urine give positive result normal range of them in urine 0 to 6 per high power field. One can reduce the urinary infection by adopting healthy life style. By eating falooda it is beneficial for our health but some time by eating too much it may cause cardiovascular disease and hyperglycemia
