(Online Course) CSAT Paper - II : Basic Numeracy: Simplification

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 04:45 AM PDT


Basic Numeracy

Simplification

In simplification of an expression there are certain laws which should be strictly adhered to. These laws are as follows:

'VBODMAS' Rule

This rule gives the correct sequence in which the mathematical operation are to be executed so as to find out the value of a given expression.

Here, 'V' stands for Vicnaculum (or Bar), 'B' stands for 'Brcket', 'O' stands for 'Of', 'D' stands for 'Division', 'M' stands for 'Multiplication', 'A' stands for 'Addition' and 'S' stand for 'Subtraction'.

  1. Here, 'VBODMAS' gives the order of simplification. Thus, the order of performing the mathematical operations in a given expression are

    First :     Virnaculum or line bracket or bar
    Second: Bracket
    Third: Of
    Fourth: Division
    Fifth: Multiplication
    Sixth: Addition &
    Seventh: Subtraction
    The above order should strictly be followed.
     
  2. There are four types of brackets.

    (i)     Square brackets [ ]
    (ii) Curly brackets { }
    (iii) Circular brackets ( )
    (iv) Bar or Virnaculum –

    Thus, in simplifying an expression all the brackets must be removed in the order '–', '( )', '{ }' and '[ ]'.

Modulus of a Real Number

The modulus of a real number x is defined as
                                                                = x, if a > 0
                                                                      |x|
                                                                = x, if a < 0

(Online Course) Pub Ad for IAS Mains: Chapter: 11 Techniques of Administrative Improvement - E-governance and Information Technology (Paper -1)

Posted: 27 Aug 2012 02:56 AM PDT


Paper - 1
Chapter: 11 (Techniques of Administrative Improvement)

E-governance and Information Technology

E-Governance is the public sector's use of information and communication technologies with the aim of improving information and service delivery, encouraging citizen participation in the decision-making process and making government more accountable, transparent and effective.

India is currently experiencing an information explosion, thanks to the dramatic advance of Information Technology which is sure to affect various aspects of life, including Public Administration. The very concepts of structure and processes of management are already undergoing significant changes under the impact of IT. More significant, however, will be its impact on administrative culture. The fantastic advances made every day in IT have been a culture shock to the typical Indian administrator in the 1990s, notwithstanding the fact that there is roughly a gap of quarter of a century or so between the first appearance of some technological innovations in the West and its adoption in India. The government and administration in India began to think seriously for adopting IT only in the 1990s after accepting the policy of liberalisation.

Today with the help of the wireless Internet, any information can be reached anywhere in the world within minutes.

IT and Administrative Culture

Each culture uses its own technology and each technological revolution brings forth its own culture. The interface between technology and culture is complex and interesting.

The major impact of IT on the economic sectors of the developing countries is as follows;

  1. A more dynamic economic and social fabric is made possible by networking and flexibility, which are factors in mobility and innovation.

  2. For business, ICTs represent an importance source of growth potential, with falling transaction costs and positive externalities that are a result of shared services and shorter channels.

  3. Quality of life improvements with increased freedom in managing constrains of time and place of work.

  4. The development and acceleration of exchanges which facilitate mutual enrichment in terms of know-how and expertise.

  5. The creation and reinforcement of growth poles that generate added value in telecommunication and IT and in other sectors such as transport, finance, retail, education, health care and media.

  6. Creation of new high-value jobs, in particular with the emergence of new professions and expertise in as yet untapped areas.

English Grammar & Comprehension
Practice Exercises Multiple Choice

Passage 5

When the Chinese began to develop their public health services in 1949, they decided that their main aim would be to prevent disease from occurring. One part of their public health programme was to teach the people simple health rules such as the importance of drinking pure water and of getting rid of household rubbish.

Chairman Mao's war on flies, mosquitoes and rats may have been regarded by the rest of the world as a joke, but the fact is that it is difficult to find a housefly in China these days. As a result, it is now possible to control the spread of some of the diseases which twentyfive years ago they carried from house to house and from village to village.

Unlike the rest of the world, China now seems to have enough doctors. Neither the city nor the village hospitals seem to be overcrowded. The explanation is that medical care in China is provided by the 'barefoot doctors'. Consequently, only the difficult cases find their way to the local hospitals and even fewer are passed on to the specialist hospitals for treatment.

Part D - Essays on Science - Tech, Environmental & Ecological issues

Growth for all with Sustainable Use Of Resources

Today the main challenge in front of international community is to sustain and accelerates the process of poverty eradication and ensure food and energy security, particularly to developing countries while shifting gradually to a Green Economy. A green economy approach to development holds the potential to achieve greater convergence between economic and environmental objectives. Agriculture plays a critical role in determining food, water, ecological and livelihood security. Integrating the strategies and policies for a green economy into agriculture has to proceed with an absolute imperative of ensuring these and not forgetting the differentiated needs of subsistence agriculture and market-oriented crops. Also, transitioning to a greener model of agriculture will depend on the expeditious provision of green technologies and financial support to developing countries for productivity enhancement, improved resilience and diversification of production systems. Sustainable development and management of agriculture would benefit from sharing of best practices including farm and nonfarm development, improved post-harvest management, integration of supply chains and strengthening of public distribution systems. Eradicating poverty is an indispensible requirement for sustainable development. A major cause aggravating poverty is the unsustainable pattern of consumption and production. Poverty eradication remains an overriding objective of governments in developing countries, and efforts to build green economies should contribute substantially to realizing that objective. Integrating green economy strategies and policies into poverty eradication, food security and energy security is an imperative for sustainable development. Food security and access to affordable clean energy are both crucial to eradicating poverty and promoting social development. The issue of energy security and universal energy access is intricately linked with economic development and growth, and rising energy needs to meet it.

Energy poverty coexists with inefficient energy use in much of the world, which given continued heavy dependence on fossil fuels has been a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the flexibility or lack of flexibility of each country to change this energy mix and devising innovative methods to secure energy security are the need of the hour without compromising on the need for high economic growth to meet the aspirations of the people, especially in developing countries. Energy security is a multi-faceted concept. In the current context, the primary focus is on poor people's securing adequate energy supplies to raise their living standards, including through improved income generation, health and education. Renewable energy should be considered as an integral part of the solution to the energy needs of the poor, but that will only be feasible if it is
affordable and technologically accessible. As affordability is a function in part of large-scale deployment and learning, the strategy to address energy poverty needs to be linked to a broader alternative energy strategy as part of a green economy. With respect to energy security, rural energy access remains seriously deficient in many developing countries, with well over a billion people lacking access to electricity and clean cooking and heating fuels. At the same time, even in urban areas, electricity is often underprovided and unreliable, especially for urban poor communities. This exacerbates poverty and closes off escape routes by limiting income generation opportunities as well as educational opportunities especially for girls.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Yojana Magazine - Nuclear Power is Our Gateway To a Prosperous Future

Posted: 26 Aug 2012 11:55 PM PDT


Yojana Magazine

Nuclear Power is Our Gateway To a Prosperous Future

Every single atom in the universe carries an unimaginably powerful battery within its heart, called the nucleus. This form of energy, often called Type-1 fuel, is hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than the conventional Type-0 fuels, which are basically dead plants and animals existing in the form of coal, petroleum, natural gas and other forms of fossil fuel. Imagine a kilometre-long train, with about 50 freight bogies, fully laden with about 10,000 tonnes of coal. The same amount of energy can be generated by 500 kg of Type-1 fuel, naturally occurring Uranium, enough to barely fill the boot of a small car. When the technology is fully realised, one can do even better with naturally occurring Thorium, in which case the material required would be much less, about 62.5 kg, or even less according to some estimates.

A. Energy and economy

Today, India finds itself going through a phase of rapid ascent in economic empowerment. Our focus for this decade will be on the development of key infrastructure and the uplifting of the 600,000 villageswhere 750million people live. All this will needmassive energy. It is predicted that the total electricity demand will grow from the current 150,000 MW to at least over 950,000 MW by the year 2030.

The Hindu

Food Security & The Cup of Tantalus

Q. Point out the Key issues of Food Security.

  • The key issue in food security, which has received almost no attention from either those who advocate or those who oppose the Food Security Bill, is neither the adequacy of supplies nor the financial resources required but the question of 'last mile' delivery:

  • How to get the food out to close on a billion people spread throughout the country from the remotest hamlets to the most vibrant urban centres.

  • There is little point in undertaking the gargantuan task (and expenditure) of procuring, storing and transporting the grain unless the foodgrains package actually reaches the intended beneficiaries.

Q. Suggested Measures to the Successful Implementation of Food Security.
