Message from HOD

I am very happy to note that ACE (Association of Computer Engineers) is coming out with a
magazine called “BIT”, containing technical and general articles. I am sure that these articles are
read by all the interested ones and I request all of them to give their feedback to the contributors
of the articles, so that they can improvise on their writing style. I also appeal to all my dear stu-
dent friends to contribute to the forthcoming issues of this magazine by way of writing articles
on topics of current interest. I congratulate all the contributors and magazine committee mem-
bers for their splendid work.

Although there is no theme in particular for this issue, articles like ‘Why Linux’ and ‘Mobile Com-

ideas such as idea of a bizarre crossword, a quiz on the similar lines, and an algorithm challenge of the
magazine had to be done away with because of the limitation on space. A bit tardy in the beginning, the
stream of articles gathered pace by the end of February.
We heartily thank all the contributors to the magazine without whom, this magazine would just be
another blank canvas.
It would be wrong on our part not mentioning Dr. Uday Kumar Shenoy, whose subtle advices had a
long say in the process of bringing out of this issue.
We also thank Mr. Radhakrishna, ACE coordinator, for his ideas and providing the much needed extra
time during the making of this magazine.

Mobile Computing

A wish
using old technology with new dimensions
We have seen lot of chang-
es with mobile computing
in the recent days. And
we happen to relate many
things to the mobile phone
world as ‘mobile’ is the
keyword that we watch. Are
these both, ‘Mobile comput-
ing’ and ‘mobile phone
word’ mean the one and the
same? If same what is this
actually, if not how they are
One word that is used in
both these areas is ‘mobil -
ity’. Let us see what does
this mean. Mobility is not
just having a mobile device
(a phone, laptop, pda etc.),
nor it just using these in a
wireless network. It is much
more than this. Mobility
means you get a seamless
connectivity, which means
you get continuous con-
nection with the network,
while you are on the move
when you were in some
sort of communication with
another device. Mobility is
not referred to the situa -
tion when you walk with
your mobile/handheld with
in a region covered by a
network. Rather, when you
move across the networks,
cross geographical locations
providers and still your
connection is not dropped.
It means "always on" IP con-
nectivity. Looks attractive,
isn’t it? With the advent of
high-speed network con-
nection and considerable
amount of computing power
with mobile phones, those
days may not be too far
from now.
Without much explanation,
I would say that, the current
network subsystem does not
have much for the mobility
fact that IP routing breaks
under mobility. By design,
IP host address is tied to
home network address and
Hosts are assumed to be
wired, immobile. Interme-
diate routers look only at
network address and desti-
nation network responsible
to get packet to right host.
A mobility enabled device
moving from network
change its IP address as
change in IP address results
in un-routable packets. If
it retains its host address,
then routing fails. So, we
need a solution that allows
the host to retain same IP
address, and still use same
layer 2 protocols (otherwise
network infrastructure itself
needs to be changed).The so-
lution that evolved is Mobile
– IP. Mobile IP eliminates
a stop-and-start approach
to IP connectivity that is
required with network loca-
tion changes, thus enabling
users to maintain the same
IP address regardless of
their point of attachment to
the network.

War on the Wires
War on the Wires
As the fever rises about the
capabilities and the reach of
Stuxnet, a malicious software worm
known to have hit hard the Islamic
Republic of Iran, the threat and
possibility of cyber warfare has
made rounds, making it look like a
reality taken out of the science
fiction.
Being considered by New York
Times as "the first attack on critical
industrial infrastructure that sits at
the foundation of modern
economies," the Stuxnet worm,
designed to target the control
systems made by German Control
Systems major, Siemens AG, is
presumed to have been made at a
cost of $3 million at the behest of
United States Of America or Israel.
The work involved the pains of 10
skill programmers for 6-months, it
is purported.
Stuxnet- named for its embedded
code- has affected 30,000
computers in Iran including those at
Busheshr nuclear plant, in the eye
of storm for being at the center of
clandestine nuclear activities Iran is
believed to be involved in. Finding
the attackers of this worm, found
mostly in India, Indonesia and
Pakistan besides Iran, is a nearly
impossible task, experts believe. It
is been cleansed from the
computers said Iran Deputy
Industry Minister recently, although
the purpose of worm is still unclear.
The worm ,which has supposedly
bypassed firewalls after having
been transferred using USB
memory stick, uses four previously
undisclosed “zero-day”
vulnerabilities in Microsoft
Windows to execute malicious code
when most worms use just one or
two. After scanning for Siemens
supervisory control and data
acquisition(SCADA) software-
SIMATIC WinCC or PCS-7-used to
run factories, chemical, water
supply and electric power plants, it
sends details of industrial facility to
internet servers around the world.
This incident of attack on nuclear
plant is not a lone sign that cyber
warfare has begun. In 2007, Estonia
become of victim of denial-of-
service attack forged by Russia(still
the allegation is unproved) when its
servers were flooded with useless
information during a brief squabble
over the removal of war memorial
at Tallinn belonging to Soviet Era
costing Estonia $26-$38 million. In
another low-level incident in 2008,
Russia’s virtual soldiers attacked
the Georgian Ministry of Defense
earlier than Russian tanks which
entered the Georgian territory
afterwards.
Series of such attacks have made
the America take cyber security as a
“ national security priority”.
Coupled with a growing concern
about the reconnaissance on
electricity grid, in May 2010 Cyber
Command was set-up, which “will
attempt to find and, when
necessary, neutralize cyber-attacks
and to defend military computer
networks.” On September 28 2010,
Cyber Storm III, a simulated co-
ordinated attack was done on 1,500
targets which involved 12
participating countries,
governmental agencies along with
banking, financial, nuclear
networks, collectively viewed as a
“critical infrastructure”. An
agreement on the lines of nuclear
weapons treaties is being mooted
0100
with countries such as Russia “to
limit the retention and use of
cyber-war technology.” U.S. Air
Force Space Command has planned
a five and half month graduate
course on “network warfare
operations” which would “provide
in-depth expertise throughout the
air, space and cyberspace domains
focused on the application of
network defense, exploitation and
attack."
Neighboring China is not far
behind when it comes to cyber
warfare. Operation Aurora, the
most high profile attack on Google
and other companies in recent
times, was traced back to two
universities in China. Hacking is
institutionalized and writing virus is
taught. Each year $55 million is
spent devising new methods of
cyber techniques .Red Hackers
Alliance, fifth largest hacker group
in the world owes its allegiance to
the Government which is available
for help at an arm’s length.
Israel has “unit 8200”, which is
vested with greater resources. It is
next only to USA and Russia in
having the most advanced
capabilities. United Kingdom has
also set up cyber security
operations center in GCHQ(British
Government Communications
Headquarters) as well as a new
office of cyber security in the
Cabinet Office. France is also
reportedly developing cyber
capabilities too.
The issue has attained an alarming
proportion considering the fact that
NATO is planning to reform its
mutual protection policy to include
cyber-attack under its ambit. This

Folding Paper in Half 12 Times:

The task was commonly known impossible. Over the years the problem has been discussed by many people, including the
mathematicians and has been demonstrated to be impossible in TV.

That was when a high school student, Britney Gallivan (of Pomona, California) was given a mathematics problem. She would get
an extra mathematics credit, if she took up the option of solving the problem of folding a sheet in half 12 times. She tried and
failed with reasonably-sized sheets of paper.

The exact limit for single direction folding case was derived, based on the accumulative limiting effects induced by every fold in
the folding process.

So she got smart, and used something incredibly thin - gold foil, only 0.28 of millionth of a metre thick. She started with a
square sheet, 10 cm by 10 cm. It took lots of determination and practice, as well as rulers, soft paint brushes and tweezers, but
she finally succeeded in folding her gold foil in half 12 times. She ended up with a microscopic square sheet of gold foil. But her
mathematics teacher said that ultra-thin gold foil was too easy - she had to fold paper 12 times. She studied the problem, and
came with two mathematical solutions. When she looked closely, she found that if you are trying to fold the sheet as many
times as possible, there are advantages in using a long narrow sheet of paper.

Her formula told her that to successfully fold paper 12 times, she would need about 1.2 km of paper.

After some searching she found a roll of special toilet paper that would suit her needs - and that cost US $85. In January 2002,
she went to the local shopping mall in Pomona. With her parents, she rolled out the jumbo toilet paper, marked the halfway
point, and folded it the first time. It took a while, because it was a long way to the end of the paper. Then she folded the paper
the second time, and then again and again.

After seven hours, she folded her paper for the 11th time into a skinny slab, about 80 cm wide and 40 cm high, and posed for
photos. She then folded it another time (to get that 12th fold essential for her extra mathematics credit), and wrote up her
achievement for the Historical Society of Pomona in her 40 page pamphlet, "How to Fold Paper in Half Twelve Times: An
"Impossible Challenge" Solved and Explained". She wrote in her pamphlet, "The world was a great place when I made the
twelfth fold."

In one day Britney was the first person to set the record for folding paper in half 9, 10, 11 or 12 times.

The Historical Society of Pomona Valley is now selling Britney's booklet. It contains over 40 pages of solving the problem and
has interesting stories and comments from others who had tried to solve the problem. The booklet gives both detailed and
general explanations of the problem's background, the physical limit and tabulates the number of times it is possible to fold
different size sheets.

In some web pages the limits found by Britney are described as being due to thickness to width ratios of the final folds or
attributed to the folder not being strong enough to fold any more times. Both explanations for the limits are incorrect and miss
the actual reason for the physical mathematical limit. The actual understanding of the problem involves understanding the
simple dynamics of the folding model and the resulting algebra.

The first solution was for the classical fold-it-this-way, fold-it-that-way method of folding the paper. Here you fold the paper in
alternate directions. She derived a formula relating the number of folds possible (n) to the width (w, of the square sheet you
start with) and the material's thickness (t):

The second solution was for folding
the paper in a single direction. This
is the case when you try to fold a
long narrow sheet of paper. She
derived another formula relating
the number of folds possible in one

“Oh my god, I don’t know how I forgot that” OR “I can’t believe I still remember that”. This is a quite a regular sentiment
we get to hear around us, especially during the time of sessionals and exams. So how do we actually REMEMBER STUFF..
Is there a rightclick-SAVE option in our brain..I tried to explore and what do you know.!!.. The memory unit what we the
CSE engineers work on and our own memory unit works almost on the same principle… Interested?... READ ON…

The Encoding Process - Laying Down Memories: You can think of the process of storing memories in your mind to be
similar to that of a computer that utilizes RAM (Random Access Memory) for the temporary storage of information before
being placed in long-term storage on the hard drive. This temporary storage depends on a different network of brain
structures than long term memories do. So not quite different eh??!!...Computer Memory and our memory!! Scientists have
determined there are different methods in how we lay down our memories.

Shallow Encoding: When we need to hold a small amount of linguistic information in mind for several seconds, this is the
technique Mr. Brain uses. This method of encoding can generally be observed outside the crowded corridors of an semester
end examination hall, when in between the repeated “GET INSIDE” warnings, we try to remember that last answer of 5th
unit!! .. This temporarily stores the information. Many people do not understand why this type of encoding doesn't work
for long-term memory -- it is due to our utilizing brain's phonological loop that relies on a part of the brain designed only
for short-term memory purposes.

Elaborative Encoding: The above technique is for the short term. In order to encode incoming information, or an event, into
long-term memory, the best way to do this is to link, associate or connect the incoming information with something already
in your memory in order to make it meaningful. You can then retrieve the memory, because you have an actual means to
recall it, due to linking the incoming information with something already in your memory. If you have completed to course
on operating systems , this bears an uncanny resemblance to the PAGING concept!!..

Engrams: How the Brain Stores Memories: The brain records an event by strengthening the connections between groups
of neurons that participate in encoding the experience. This pattern of connections constitutes the brain's record of the event
known as the engram. Engrams will lie dormant unless they are brought to conscious awareness with cues, to evoke, or
retrieve them back into memory. Again, go back to your logic design books and this is exactly how PAL and PLA memories
work.

Engrams can weaken and even disappear with time. Time plays a major role in the memory process. Past experiences are
constantly slipping away from us, some more rapidly than others. Thus we tend to remember what is most important to us
for a longer time. engrams that we never use are probably best forgotten. Scientists opine that forgetting memories over time
is an economical response to the demands placed on memory by the environment in which we live. We are better off
forgetting trivial experiences than clogging our minds with each and every on-going event. Maybe this is why we forget
what we studied in the first few years of engineering!!  

advantages

i. OLED technology is the next step in the evolution of PC monitors and TV

screens, as it does away with the backlight entirely.
ii. Response times and refresh rates are also significantly enhanced over even the
best LCDs – an OLED monitor could theoretically have a response time of around
0.01ms and a refresh rate exceeding 1 KHz (1000Hz).
iii. By doing away with the backlight you also save a tremendous amount of power;
when OLED PC monitors hit the mass-market, they could be over 10 times as
efficient as the best LED-backlit LCD monitor of today.
iv. The end result of all this is images that are much more vivid and lifelike than
anything produced by an LCD/normal LED and a revolution in display
technology.

5 Advantages of using Linux over Windows

Advantages of Linux:

Disadvantages of Linux:

* Understanding – Becoming familiar with the Linux operating system requires patience as well as a strong learning curve. You

* Compatibility – Because of its free nature, Linux is sometimes behind the curve when it comes to brand new hardware compat-

Linux.
