Anti Virus / Why Use Antivirus Software?

« on: November 24, 2010, 05:58:33 PM »

This is a really simple question to answer – you need to use antivirus software to protect your own computer, and to prevent your computer from being used to pass on infections to other machines without your knowledge. If you use the internet and you don’t take precautions, you’re going to get infected. And you’ll infect others, including those you care about most like your friends, family, and business contacts because their information is in your email address book and other files on your computer.

Student life is the time of learning. They need to learn different subjects. At that time a library helps them a lot. A library is a place where a large number of books are stored in many shelves. Libraries are the store-houses or treasure trove of knowledge. In the absence of a good library in an educational institution, education has no meaning. Without library students cannot gain knowledge properly.
 
We are really proud for our University Library!

Be Alert / How to avoid radiation from cell phones?

« on: November 11, 2010, 11:22:46 AM »

    At our workplace or office, there should be strict screening of calls.
   
    Use voicemail regularly when working on something from which we do not want to be disturbed. When responding back, it helps to collect the thoughts and speak just how much is required.
   
   People who attend a lot of teleconferences should use a wireless headphone cum mike. It is easier than the headset on the ears which one has to keep pressed to the ear, especially since the meetings may go on for hours.
   
  At home, turn on the loudspeaker, so there is not much of a problem for the ears and brain.
   
  While traveling, use earphones.

Be Alert / How cell phones affect our health?

« on: November 11, 2010, 11:18:19 AM »

Yes cell phones affect our memory, as there have been recent studies and researches done on animals kept in labs, which have shown the ill effects of mobile phone radiations on their memory. Cell phone radiation caused leaks in the brain tissues of rats, which were exposed to this radiation for a test trial. Though we cannot avoid using cell phones, as they have become a necessity, one thing which we can do is use a hands-free to avoid direct radiation.

Rover Scout Wing / The Scouts of the World Award

« on: November 11, 2010, 11:01:01 AM »

The Scouts of the World Award is an initiative to help National Scout Organizations revitalize their programme for senior sections (15-26 age range, boys and girls) by giving young people the skills and opportunities to face the challenges and problems in the world. The Scouts of the World Award has been developed in the framework of the Strategic priorities “Youth Involvement” and “Adolescents” approved by the World Scout Conference in Thessaloniki in 2002.

The Scouts of the World Award is a special award showing that a young person is aware of world issues (Scouts of the World Discovery) and has acquired through a voluntary service the necessary experience and skills to become a citizen of the world.
The Scouts of the World Award should not be considered as a separate programme to be managed by a specific team or requiring the development of specific structures within a National Scout Organization. On the contrary, the Scouts of the World Award should be integrated into the programme of the senior section, under the responsibility of the National Commissioner or Director of that section.

Textile science, events, trade and issues / What Is Textile Engineering?

« on: November 10, 2010, 10:13:46 PM »

Textile engineering, also known as textile technology, is the study of various principles form engineering and scientific methodologies. These principles are then implemented for the processing and production of all kinds of textile fabric and yarns from textile fibers. The disciple involves extensive study of chemical and physical principles, which is then utilized for the detailed study and analysis of the behavior of polymers involved in the formation of textile fiber.

Textile engineering is a constituent field of the larger textile industry that is also referred to as "rag trade" in Australia and England. Other than textile engineering, the working mechanics of this industry involve design, manufacture, distribution, and sales of clothing and apparels. The textile industry developed and progressed in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of 18th century, and from there spread to Germany and then America. More advanced technologies in these countries led to the development and innovation of textile industry on more advanced scientific principles.

Textile engineering is an innovative field as it is a scientific realm. It involves the creative research, study, and exploration of new techniques for production and improvisation. Textile manufacturers not only seek to develop and find new techniques for the production of new fabrics of better quality, but they also constantly work on improving existing textile fibers.

A textile engineer who works in the textile industry or in textile production has to undergo a standard degree program. The course study involves classes in other aspects of engineering, including mechanical, industrial, and chemical. These modules are intended to strengthen and solidify the basic concepts of engineering for students. This coursework will help prepare students to better understand the technical aspects of the field, as they study advanced topics in textile production.
