ARTIFICIAL RAIN - For the arid regions !!

When the water drops in a cloud are too small or there are not enough ice crystals to create rainfall, we can use artificial ways to create ice crystals or help small water drops grow, and thereby facilitate the formation of precipitation. This human influenced weather phenomenon is called artificial rain.

Yes, artificial rain is used in number of countries. 
China creates billion tons of artificial rain every year. 
Artificial rain is produced by spraying clouds with substances like Silver Iodide (costly) or cheaper ones like solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) or even finely powdered Sodium Chloride.

It's a practice of artificially inducing or increasing precipitation through clouds by adding external agents. The foreign particles which are drenched over these clouds can be Dry Ice(solid carbon dioxide), Silver Iodide, Salt powder etc. 
This process is known as Cloud Seeding. ( CLOUD SEEDING )
The largest cloud seeding system is in the People's Republic of China. 
They believe that it increases the amount of rain over several increasingly arid regions, including its capital city, Beijing, by firing silver iodide rockets into the sky where rain is desired.

For the uninitiated, cloud seeding or weather modification is an artificial way to induce moisture in the clouds so as to cause a rainfall.
In this process, either silver iodide or dry ice is dumped onto the clouds by using an aircraft or an artillery gun which leads to a rain shower.

Instantiating DAY and NIGHT with Boolean and Fuzzy logic - An idea for a probable school project ?

Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth values of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1, considered to be “fuzzy.”  By contrast, in Boolean logic, the truth values of variables may only be the “crisp” values 0 or 1. Generally speaking, in regions across our planet, which comprises of natural human habitat, we do see a certain time of the 24 hours of a day is dark, while the rest of the time it is naturally bright. By stating naturally bright, I am implying to the influence and effect of sun on that concerned geographical area. However there are regions on earth which has more than 24 hours of sunlight at a single stretch/span of time. It has been observed, that human population in such regions are comparatively much lesser. Here I am trying to project a state of complete/maximum darkness as "0" ( Boolean Zero ), and a state of complete/maximum brightness as "1" ( Boolean One ). The remaining states in between complete da...

A Feasible Idea-Proposal for an Algorithmic Trading App supplemented with Deep Learning features.

Algorithmic Trading is a method of executing orders using automated pre-programmed trading instructions accounting for variables such as time, price, and volume to send small slices of the order (child orders) out to the market over time. This concept and practice of Algorithmic Trading has been evolving over the past few years, and is now a continuous evolution on its own. By now, there are a host of Algorithmic Trading Tools & Software in the global market. Even Algorithmic Trading Apps have started evolving, as expected. Few useful links are provided below. 9 great tools for Algorithmic Trading An Algorithmic Trading App from Trade Smart STREAK - An Algorithmic Trading App from Apple After navigating through the above links, one might still wonder on how many of these tools, software, and apps are actually equipped with Deep Learning features.  It is very much possible and obviously true that continuous research and development is in progress, in order to achi...

FLOOD PREVENTION - Automatic Emergency Water Gates Along The Riversides - A probable option ??

Flood due to raging rivers from excessive rainfall is a very common scenario across the globe, because engineering and technology is yet to invent anything till date, to control the weather's wrath. If we can construct huge underground car parking areas, then humans can also construct underground concrete water reservoirs, because that day is not far off, when humans has to accept and realize that preservation of rain-water and river-water, will be much more important than owning fleets of expensive cars. Whenever there is an excessive rainfall in any geographical region with rivers and its tributaries, the river gradually starts flowing above the threshold/danger mark.  I hereby propose to construct automatic emergency water gates along the riversides, at a little lower level as per the danger mark scale. And these automated gates will lead the excess river-water, to the underground concrete water reservoirs (proposed above) through an underground piping system (slanted in a...
