Mnemonics in Educational Research

Many educational institutes which provide Coaching to crack entrance exams takes help of mnemonics to pile up huge amount of information.

These institutes have now adopted short tricks to teach their students which is not useful for long term memory access, this is bcoz of the pattern of the exam that is most of the questions are multiple choice that can easily be solved by remembering short trick methods. Now, students don’t want to get deep knowledge of the concern subjects, they only opt for the institutions which provide better mnemonics. Mnemonics can help to remember specific information but the fact of information is not accessed.

Teaching & Learning is always an art. But, when we take the traditional teaching & learning, knowledge loss is very high. As per our research, we have found that the knowledge loss is more than 60% for any subject on an average. Traditional Teaching & Learning is having advantage of more interaction, changing pace. But it failed to address the knowledge loss due to mixed crowd, personal motivation.

General methods to improve memory:-

· Use Images

Images can provide a memory benefit. Using this way enhance memory problems & helps to remember things for long term.

· Increase amount of practice

Students remember things better if they have practice using it more frequently.

· Enhance meaningfulness

Use more examples for students to explore so the content becomes more meaningful a part of their experience.

· Increase attention

Students will not be able to remember the things taught in the class, if they don’t pay attention.

· Minimize interference

Emphasize only on the critical features of a new topic. Avoid irrelevant information that waste your precious time and not helping in building up a response that answer your problem.

· Promote Active modifications

Student recall things better when they experience it for themselves. They must be given opportunity to modify the content and analyze it, and then only they can strengthen themselves.

· Promote written ability

Many things that need to be recalled must be written down on a piece of paper which is called as external memory. For instance such as keeping a notebook of assignments and students calendar may leads to fruitful outputs.

Mnemonics helps to reduce stress, make free up cognitive resources for higher order thinking. It also helps students perform better in exams without fear. Practical demands are not met by mnemonics that’s why they are not widely used now, days in the education system. They don’t help with transfer of knowledge or long passages etc.

Mnemonics requires practice and training on regular basis and may not lead to long time memory access without cooperation from other methods and techniques. It should be repeatedly used not just once because that is of no use if it has no application to relate it to the next higher study material. When we are deciding to use the learning techniques we must know how and where to use such methods. It does not revolutionalize education system level.

FOG COMPUTING

Fog computing is an emerging technology that is used for the Internet of Things. Fog computing fetches data and services from the network center to the network edge.

Similar to Cloud, data, compute, storage, application services are given to the end-users by the fog. Fog computing is a distributed computing model that fetches centralized located data storage, processing, and application and given to the network edge device (set-top box, access point). Fog computing is a technique that is locally hosted where the user uses the service. To be simplified fog computing is a model that provides IoT data processing, storage instead of sending it to cloud it is locally processed in smart devices.

Both Cloud and fog structures are for computing, storage, and networking resources.

In fog computing data collected by sensors are not sent to cloud servers instead it is sent to devices like network edge or set-top box, routers, the access point for processing thus reducing the traffic due to low bandwidth. Fog computing improves the standard of service and also reduces latency. Small computing works are locally processed and responses are sent back to the end-users without the use of the cloud.

So, fog computing is emerging as a better option than cloud computing for smaller computing works. Fog computing plays a crucial role by reducing the traffic of knowledge to the cloud. Since the fog system is placed almost the info sources computation and communication aren't delayed.

CISCO gives us an example of the jet engine. Whenever the jet engine is connected to the internet, half an hour running time of the jet engine creates 10 TB of data.

This huge data itself will create big traffic in the bandwidth which cannot be neglected. So comes the importance of fog computing. Fog computing is complementary to the cloud. Certain features of fog computing differentiate it from the cloud, Fog Computing is used for real-time interactions but cannot replace cloud computing as it is preferred for high-end batch processing. As the name suggests cloud system is placed at a distance whereas the fog system is placed locally near to the end-user.

EDGE COMPUTING

Edge computing allows data produced by the internet of things (IoT) devices to be processed closer to where it's created rather than sending it across long routes to data centers or clouds. Doing this computing closer to the sting of the network lets organizations analyze important data in near real-time – a requirement of organizations across many industries, including manufacturing, health care, telecommunications, and finance.

It is typically mentioned in IoT use cases, where edge devices would collect data – sometimes massive amounts of it – and send it all to a knowledge center or cloud for processing. Edge computing triage the info locally so a number of it's processed locally, reducing the back haul traffic to the central repository.

Typically, this is often done by the IoT devices transferring the info to an area device that has computing, storage, and network connectivity during a small form factor. Data is processed at the sting, and everyone or some of it's sent to the central processing or storage repository during a corporate data center, co-location facility or IaaS cloud.

The Advent Of IT In The 21st Century

Information Technology is widely used in the field of business and computing. While referring to various types of computer-related work, people generally use such words, which sometimes lead to their incorrect meaning.

What does Information Technology actually means?

Information Technology (IT) means the use of computer system for Processing, Storing, Retrieving, Securing and Exchanging the information It also involves use of storage, networking, electronic data and infrastructure of other physical devices.

In the 1958 article in Harvard Business Review, Information Technology has been referenced, including following three basic parts:

1. Computational Data Processing

2. Business Software

3. Decision Support

Information Technology refers to the relation with the computing technology, such as networking, hardware, software, internet, or people working with these technologies.

Mostly companies now have their IT departments for managing their business computers, networks, and other technical areas. IT jobs have multiple fields like in network administration, computer engineering, web development, technical support, and many other businesses related work.

In the coming decades, many corporations have created so-called "IT departments" to manage their business-related computer technologies. Whatever these departments did, it became the real definition of Information Technology, which has evolved over time. Today, IT departments have emerged following responsibilities in these areas:

· Computer technology support

· Business Computer Network and Database Administration

· Business software deployment

· Information security

Especially during the 1990's dot com boom, Information Technology was also associated with aspects of computing outside the owners of IT departments. This broad definition of IT includes such areas:

1. Application Software development

2. Computer system architecture

3. Project management

Issues and Challenges of Information Technology

SCALABILITY

Since the capabilities of computing systems continue to expand throughout the world, data overload has become an increasingly important issue for many IT professionals. To produce useful Business intelligence and efficient processing of large amounts of data requires mass processing power, sophisticated software along with human analytical skills.

TRAINING

Teamwork and communication skills have also played vital role for most businesses to manage the complexity of the IT system. Different IT professionals have their responsibility for providing the service to those business users who are not trained in computer networking or other information technology, yet they are interested in using IT to perform their job efficiently.

SECURITY

System and network security issues are a major concern for many business executives because any security event can potentially harm a company's reputation and cause to spend a large amount of money.

Growth In Information Technology Jobs

Information Technology, or IT, describes any technology that empowers or energizes storage, processing, and information flow within an organization. Any IT related to computers, software, networks, intranets, web sites, servers, databases, and telecommunication falls below.

The demand for IT professionals is very high. From 2004 to 2014, it has been estimated that 1.3 million jobs will be opened in the IT sector. This is an increase of 31 percent in the IT job market. And the average initial salary for computer science, electrical engineering and information science chief is $ 50,000.

FLY ASH BRICK

Fly ash brick are those bricks in which we used fly ash,lime or cement as raw material,by adding moderate gypsum and aggregates,after the mixture get prepared then we pressed in moulding, then through high temperature or normal pressure curing or natural curing methods.

Fly ash are divided into two categories,first one is autoclave fly ash brick and the second one is steam cured fly ash brick.In autoclaved fly ash bricks,they are cured at high temperature and pressure saturated vapors in autoclave. But in Steam cured fly ash bricks are cured in steam but under normal pressure conditions.

These both are similar in raw materials and forming,only different in curing methods,but they have very different final properties.
Autoclaved fly ash bricks are cured in saturated steam in more than 174.5˚C and 0.8Mpa pressure conditions,the inner active ingredients are reacted with each other sufficiently,thus the bricks could own high strength and stable properties.

But the steam cured fly ash brick in which the normal pressure condition will cause flaws happened on the walls during the construction.
The autoclaved fly ash brick usually have very high compressive strength, it could reach up to 15-20Mpa,at least reach 10Mpa, it can endures 15times continuous freeze-thaw cycles request.
Otherwise,fly ash is a hydrated material which has potential activity,the hydration reaction could happen again in damp environment during application,thus the inner structure of the bricks could become more and more compact,benefit for the strength improvement again.

FLY ASH BRICKS ADVANTAGES

1.Same number of Fly Ash Bricks will cover more area than clay bricks.

2. Fly Ash Bricks are High Fire Insulation.

3. Due to high strength of Fly Ash Bricks, practically no breakage occurs during transport of Fly Ash Bricks &use.

4.Due to uniform size of Fly Ash Bricks mortar required for joints and plaster requirement will be less up to 50%.

5.Lower water penetration so the seepage of water through bricks is considerably reduced.

6.In Fly Ash Bricks no need to backing coat of lime plaster, Gypsum plaster can be directly applied.

7.These Fly Ash Bricks do not require soaking in water for 24 hours. Sprinkling of water before using is sufficient.

GREEN CONCRETE

Green Concrete is defined as the one of the most enhanced type of concrete which is generally manufactured by concrete waste material.

There is no relation with Green color here in the word Green Concrete. This type of concrete is generally obtained by lesser energy in its manufacturing and it produces very less amount of Carbon dioxide. This type of concrete primarily indicates environmental sustainability ; sustainable like socially, economically feasible and its Eco friendliness in construction manner.

As the burden of ever growing industrial ash waste is increasing exponentially, so it becomes necessary to use these waste for making concrete in appropriate manner.A number of waste material used as fly ash product from coal power plants,glass aggregate,recycled demolished waste aggregate,manufactured sand and red mud.

A number of alternative environmental conditions with which for green building concrete structures must comply the following factors:-

No environmental pollution and sustainable development.
It possess better work ability than traditional concrete.
Fire resistance is quite good than environmental concrete.
Use of this concrete after construction requires less maintenance and repairment.

The concept of green concrete considers all important phases of a concrete i.e structural design aspect,its ingredient specifications,concreting operations and maintenance aspect and it includes all aspects of its performance in environment.

Atlast , the definite use of concrete product as green concrete for construction purpose in future will not only decrease the harmful effects of CO2 in nature but it can be economical material to produce and became a revolutionary product from industrial waste in the history of building construction material industry.
