Digital age: challenges for libraries

Information technology and globalization are the two most influential forces of the modern times. IT has given new meanings to the transmission, dissemination and storage of information; whereas globalisation is reducing the importance of geographical boundaries. Libraries as an important social institution have been affected by these changes. Information retrieval, information storage and information transmission are the core competencies of the libraries. Digital age characterized by efficient graphic user interface, digital imaging, efficient transfer and storage of texts, is presenting important challenges for the libraries. Information privacy, copyrights, and information security are some of the challenging issues faced by the libraries in digital age. This paper is an attempt to present as well as to discuss the implications of these issues so that strategies can be devised to address them effectively and efficiently

Metabolic Environment and Cellular Signaling in Haematopoietic Stem Cells and Progenitor Cells

This work demonstrates how the nutrient and physico-chemical environment can indeed affect the self-renewal versus differentiation of haematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro, consistent with the proposed existence of metabolic niches in vivo that contribute to the organization and control of haematopoiesis. The identification of Nme2 as a key link between metabolic and signaling activities should enable more detailed analysis of these relationships in the future

Exploration Robot Controlled by an Android Application

Exploration Robot Controlled by an Android Application (ERCAA), University of Palestine Faculty of Information TechnologyIn recent years, with the pace of technological development, people have become more and more demanding in terms of quality of life. At the same time, there is an increasing need for bringing and merging new ideas of technology to create new products. That need is stemming out of the big curiosity of people to try new technologies that helps and entertain them in their daily life. A robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming. Many robots have been built for manufacturing purpose and can be found in factories around the world. We have designed ROBOT which can be controlled using an APP of android mobile. This Robot is provided with Camera on it to empowers user to explore. We have developed the remote buttons in the android app by which we can control the robot motion and the Camera View with them. And in which we use Wi-Fi communication to interface controller and android. Controller can be interfaced to the Wi-Fi module. According to commands received from android the robot motion can be controlled. Robot can be reprogrammable and tooling can be interchanged to provide for multiple applications according to the Arduino Chip we use. We have used the Android, C, HTML Programming Languages to develop each of the Application and the Hardware components and electronic Chips. Following, is the test analysis section, which discusses whether the proposed system met its objectives. Performance is also evaluated near the end of the paper along with possible extensions of the system

GSU Event Portal

GSU Event portal is an application which deals with showing any post, ongoing and upcoming events on the website. From the application, user can be able to check all the events going on globally in multiple locations. This application has an option to opt for receiving the recordings of the event when registered and paid for it. This portal will display all the events in different categories such as cultural events, recreational events, ground events. This portal allows users to interact with all other registered members and get updates over the events regularly. This application will have a home page where a panel for navigation will be available for users. Through this they have the various options to go through such as organizers, admin and visitors. organizers can create or edit events, view registrations or payments, etc. The administrator panel allows admin to administer accounts, edit or delete events, review registrations, etc. In the visitor’s console visitors, can set up its profile and payment info, view log of history, etc. This application will help the user to find any kind of events with the help of location, date and name of the project. There will be front page for different types of events. Login page form already registered members and sign up option for new users. Event page to show photos and full details of event and Web map if possible. Booking process will include the payment page and confirmation. The events page will show all the upcoming events and recommended events for you

A Comprehensive Literature Review on Convolutional Neural Networks

The fields of computer vision and image processing from their initial days have been dealing with the problems of visual recognition. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in machine learning are deep architectures built as feed-forward neural networks or perceptrons, which are inspired by the research done in the fields of visual analysis by the visual cortex of mammals like cats. This work gives a detailed analysis of CNNs for the computer vision tasks, natural language processing, fundamental sciences and engineering problems along with other miscellaneous tasks. The general CNN structure along with its mathematical intuition and working, a brief critical commentary on the advantages and disadvantages, which leads researchers to search for alternatives to CNN’s are also mentioned. The paper also serves as an appreciation of the brain-child of past researchers for the existence of such a fecund architecture for handling multidimensional data and approaches to improve their performance further

Design and Characterization of Targeted Drug Delivery of Carbon Quantum Dots from a Natural Precursor for Cancer Treatment

It was concluded that CQDs can be synthesized by a novel easy ethanol extraction method. using AM fruit powder as a candidate for natural carbon precursor. The synthetic protocol is green and fast. The surface state is studied by FTIR and Raman spectra evaluations, as well as optical properties, showed that the method of CQDs preparations effect on the final particles surfaces functional groups. This study investigated that synthesized CQDs from AM fruit has anticancer activity. And it’s sorafinib conjugate has also possess anticancer activity. So this study will be a milestone in usage of low dose of drug achieve high therapeutic action from C-dots in cancer patients. So this synthesized carbon dot and its Sorafinib conjugate can be used as targeted trackable drug delivery for cancer treatment

Quality education: Delhi government initiatives

Education is the foundation stone of a successful life: it empowers learners with knowledge and skills for overall development. Quality education must emphasise better acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that help an individual deal with human, societal, national and universal goals. Cognitive and non-cognitive skills developed in schools contribute to economic as well as social development. It helps learners become socially more acceptable individuals and plays a pivotal role in creating peaceful, blissful and justifiable societies. Imparting quality education in schools is important for the development of skilful human beings as a resource for the country. Presently, children in different parts of the country are receiving unequal education with respect to quality parameters, though their success is completely associated with the level of quality education they are receiving. It is a fact that a person with quality education is able to innovate efficiently leading to enhanced economic developmen
