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.

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...

Flying Humans... It is already happening !!

Similar to some of my earlier posts in this blog, this idea too is already an existing one. However this concept too is yet to be exhaustively implemented and used in our human society. A jet pack, rocket belt, or rocket pack is a device worn on the back which uses jets of gas or liquid to propel the wearer through the air. The concept has been present in science fiction for almost a century and became widespread in the 1960s. Real jet packs have been developed using a variety of mechanisms, but their uses are much more limited than their fictional counterparts because of the challenges of Earth's atmosphere, gravity, low energy density of available fuels, and the human body not being suited to fly, and they are principally used for stunts. A practical use for the jet pack has been in extra-vehicular activities for astronauts. (Reference Link: Jet Pack ) Of late, humans have made significant progress in their research on individual horizontal flights. The focus of Gru...

An Idea - The importance of INDEX for continuous tracking of organizational health.

The need of Index in every entity - For instant transparency on organization health !! This idea of INDEX is primarily segregated into two parts, firstly for all business/administrative organizations be it in private or non-private sector, and secondly for tracking the health of a particular practice or trade nationally. IDEA 1 – Organization Progress Index While I was in my previous organization, I proposed an idea to our then CEO, for an internal Organization Progress Index. It was primarily meant for transparent monitoring and tracking of the organizational health by considering all the critical parameters and dependencies that constitutes a global IT organization’s health. Our then CEO did reply to my email, stating that he will share the idea with his team for due consideration. Continuing in the same frequency, I happen to have recently researched further through the net, and have come across a McKinsey solution for OHI – Organization ...
