One Discovery Discussion Each Month Hall Effect E. H. Hall in the later half of nineteenth century (1879) discovered an effect, which became revolutionary over the period of time. He noted that when an electrical current passes through a conductor placed in a magnetic field, a potential difference proportional to the current passing and to the magnetic field is developed across the material in a direction perpendicular to both the current and to the magnetic field. This effect is known as the Hall effect, named after the great scientist E.H.Hall. Today, many magnetic field measurements, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors and position and motion detectors are based on this effect. It was first experiment through which we could say that sign of charge carriers in a conductor is negative. With the advent of semiconductor physics it has become more pertinent and useful discovery. This month, my blogs would go for discussing this effect and on persona o...
Some communities opposing substations! These substations are not posing such serious danger as they perceive, do they? Do you think substations are not essential, in fact they are. They can de designed so that they don't harm the people. The technology has advanced enough for making them very compressed now. Let us welcome switch yards, they facilitate energy transfer.

Transformers If you think about one component of power system, which provides you flexibility in voltage level so that transmission and distribution systems can be designed in a flexible way, it shall be transformer only. Transformer is a static electric device with typical components like: A. Main Tank B. Core C. Winding D. Conservator E. Buchholz Relay and other protective devices F. Bushings & Terminal Box for Connection G. Tap Changers (on load or off load) for voltage control
Better English and choice of words The selection of words in English writing is so important that even a single line can make or break the reader's perception.

Let us have a look at better or preferred alternatives of these words where Very + these words may be replaced with these suggested alternatives. What do you say?
Stem Cell Therapy: A Hope for many untreated diseases Stem cell therapy is still not well established and clinical trails are going on to prove its effectiveness. The mechanism also is mostly unknown, however, doctors have reported many advantages of the therapy and particularly for diseases where there is no other hope. Some of the pages which describe such facts and latest development can be browsed to have a cursory idea of the same: Stem Cell Therapy: Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy Stemp Cell in Autism: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/child-autism-stem-cell-therapy-treatment-archit-roy/1/415362.html Doctor divided over treatment through stem cell: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Doctors-divided-over-effectiveness-of-stem-cell-treatment-for-autism/articleshow/48313253.cms Hope we decipher further to get more and better treatment option through stem cell therapy.
ENJOY A PART FROM MY UPCOMING THRILLER: THE HAT HUNTER C hap t e r 1 MANU AGREES TO TAKE THE CASE Hotel Chandra at Patna, in the state capital of Bihar was a sensible place to meet him, Manu, my old college friend at NIT, Patna. Even today, our gang chatted often about how he used to examine cases of towel exchange and missing under wears from the hostel premises. Once, examining the case of stolen bicycle from the hostel, he had caught hold of son of our professor and the Prof had threatened him in return that he would ensure that he never gets his final Grad certificates. I too had naughty, near and dear moments together with Manu and my college gang and Manu today’s top sleuth of CBI was quite noticeable in the lot. I never knew, whether he probed and got similar results even now! However, last week Times Day named him ‘King Detective’ after he cracked the case of absconding Kalya, a million dollar corporate. I liked his journey from amateur de...
VISUAL MAPS FOR BETTER COMPREHENSION Have you tried reading with these scientific techniques, which are proven to increase the comprehension? Who wins the war, not necessarily an army with higher number of soldiers or fighting jets. Resources are only one side of the coin, the other side is how you utilize them effectively. In the same way, memory and logic both are invaluable resources for comprehension, but both of these can be augmented or compensated through using some techniques, e.g. Graphic Organizer. For being a winner in using resource of your mind, start using these techniques. Visual Maps and Graphic organizers: Instead of writing about route from one place to other people prefer to draw it and so on a map. Map is an effective way to augment comprehension. Teachers use diagrams to augment comprehension. However, when we read ourselves, we hardly use mapping techniques to develop understanding. When you study a story, an argument or a problem, you find the...
Increasing Reading Comprehension in Kids Kids are mostly not interested in the stuff they read and many times they are told to memorize the stuff, if they find it difficult to comprehend. That makes things worse. As a teacher or as a parent our job is to explore and Link - what they are studying with what they have already studied, felt, visited or read before. Make them feel one way, ask them- whether they like the topic or dislike it. Let them be on one side of the debate or story. Ask for their views. These are found to sharpen focus and increase depth of understanding. Link to their areas of liking and if required even discuss reward points. Focus on creating real learning. Life is never about clearing a class with good marks but most of the times about the actual learning of the mind. Have long term goals for your kids. Happy Learning!

Value Innovation for strategic growth Suppose, you pray for a son, what would you like to choose to ask for: a studious one or a sporty kid? Well, you will say why not both- then are you not praying for two kids- one kid who is studious and other who is sporty (Just kidding). You obviously pray and ask for a kid equally great in studies and sports. Well, in business language you want to hit a sweet spot. In business, companies aim for innovation and customer pay additional bucks to get advantage of that innovation. Some companies aim for reducing the cost for the given product line thereby creating higher specific value (value per unit cost).The process of creating a product or service so that it is cost effective as well having high value for customers is known as Value innovation. The credit for the term goes to Mr. W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, management professionals, who advocate that value innovation is key to searching markets with no com...
Which one is Better Approach: Goal Orientation or Task Orientation Almost all sports persons start playing the sport with a performance way below the benchmarks. Some of them achieve the desired level in a short time whereas others struggle to reach to it. Life is also like sport and looking at the problems faced by these sports persons or athletes you can understand some of the vital things.

What can be a better way to better performance. When a coach is given responsibility to elevate level of a team or a player-...
Renard Numbers and Standardization of Equipment Ratings Have you ever thought why electrical equipments are rated for certain voltage and KVA ratings. Why 630 KVA of transformer is taken in place of 600 kVA of transformer. Have you gone for buying some screw for your home or office and find that only specific sizes are available mostly like 1.00 mm, 1.60 mm, etc. To know all these, may we discuss one of the ways of standardization technique proposed by French Army Engineer, col Charles Renard in 1870, which is adopted today by many standardization bodies including IEC. To choose exact product dimensions in any Industry, it should have preferred numbers or dimensions. The benefits of using preferred numbers as dimensions can be manifold. It increases the compatibility chances between objects designed by same industry, if the preferred number system is followed by that Industry. This also minimizes the number of different sizes to be manufactured as well as number o...
