But what many people don't realize is that social media can also have a dark side. One of the biggest problems with social media is that it can be addictive. The constant stream of notifications and updates can be very stimulating, and it can be hard to pull away. This can lead to problems such as sleep deprivation, anxiety, and depression. The Science of Digital Addiction The science behind digital addiction is largely centered around dopamine and the brain's reward center. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the brain's reward circuitry, responsible for feelings of pleasure and motivation. When dopamine is released, it reinforces behavior and creates habits. Repeated dopamine release can lead to addiction, as the brain begins to crave the pleasurable feeling ass

 Server Ever wondered how are you able to access the information in a website? Which is that one thing that conveys whatever the developer wants to convey to its user?. Or What is LAN and how does it work? Well, the answer is "Server".     So, what is a Server?    A server is a computer that provides data to other computers. It may serve data to systems on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) over the Internet. Many types of servers exist, including web servers, mail servers, and file servers. Each type runs software specific to the purpose of the server.  Basically, A server is a software or hardware device that accepts and responds to requests made over a network. The device that makes the request, and receives a response from the server, is called a client.  “A server is a computer program that provides a service to another computer program and its user, also known as the client.”     Few Types of Server's:-  Proxy Server:      A proxy server

Climate Smart Societies   A surge in energy demand increased global carbon emission levels to a 7 year high in 2018 (BP, 2019). Global temperatures in 2018 were 0.83°C warmer than mean temperatures between 1951 and 1980, with the past 5 years representing the warmest years since records began (NASA, 2019). The economic impact of natural disasters rose to USD 160 billion in 2018, almost 15% above the inflation-adjusted average over the last 30 years (Low, 2019). Clearly, another landmark year for the continuous intensification of the effects and impact of anthropogenic climate change India is ranked sixth among the ten most affected countries in the world as per the Global Climate Risk Index 2016, and accounts for about seven per cent of the global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. It is therefore a crucial actor when it comes to dealing with climate change related issues. Developing climate services and increasing the number of professionals and students trained in meteorology and cl

Binary Number System

 Binary Number System: The number system wit base(or radix) two is known  as the binary number system .Only two symbols   are used to represent numbers in this system and these are 0 and 1. These are known as bits.  Decimal to binary conversion : Any decimal number can be converted into its equivalent binary number. For integers ,the conversion is obtained by continuous division by 2 and keeping track of the remainder, while for fractional parts, the conversion is affected by continuous multiplication by 2 and keeping track of the integers generated . Example: Convert (13) 10 an equivalent base-2 number  For Fractional number  Example: Convert (0.65625) 10  to an  equivalent base-2 number  Example: Express the 25.5 decimal numbers in the binary  from : Binary to Decimal : Any binary number can be converted into its equivalent decimal number using the weights assigned to each  bit position. Example: find the decimal equivalent of the binary number (1 1 1 1 1) 2   Binary  to octal: Binar

Number System

 Number System  Any number system there is an ordered set of symbols known as digits with rules defined for performing arithmetic operation like addition, multiplication etc. A collection of these digits makes a number which in general has two parts -- integer and fractional, set apart by a radix point(.)                    where N= a number               b=radix or base of the number system               n = number of digits in integer portion               m=number of digits in fractional portion           d n-1 = most significant digit(msd)           d -m =least significant digit(lsd) Types of Number System The four most common number system types are: Decimal number system (Base- 10) Binary number system (Base- 2) Octal number system (Base-8) Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)   Binary Number System: The number system wit base(or radix) two is known  as the binary number system .Only two symbols   are used to represent numbers in this system and
