THE DNA OF YOUR WRITING

      


          Can the students just use 'on-line essay services' and get high grades? 

          Can anyone just copy a 'project' and submit? 
    Today, mostly digital submission is advised We have lot of digital tools to find cheating and plagiarized articles. 
     Each person has their own unique vocabulary. It may be rich or limited.  Some people write in short sentences, some others prefer long sentences having many clauses.  Even different people use punctuation marks differently, that means, everybody has unique style of writing.  The style of writing can be analyzed digitally, and cheating can be exposed. 


    Some people use some phrases often Examples:  one of the most, let us assume, ripple of laughter ran around the table. I found myself shaking hands with .... etc.  A digital tool called 'fingerprint' finds percentage of such phrases appearing in a passage and match it with percentage of other authors.  Thereby, it detects plagiarism. 
     There is another statistical tool called 'stylometry'.  It matches the writing styles of authors.  For example, a student's exam answer script and assignment script can be cross matched and verified by stylometry. Suppose a student use 50 words often The frequency of that 50 words appearing in each chunk of the document can be calculated and cross-matched.  Hence cheating and copying can also be detected in this way. 


     Online plagiarism checker is available.  You can insert any piece of text and check for cheating.  The grammarly.com website says that it compares the inserted text to over 16 million web pages and academic papers stored in ProQuest's databases. 
     Our writing has DNA which can be extracted by software.  Hence, the original author can easily be found. 
    Who wrote the quote? 
"If you prick us, do we not bleed? 
If you tickle us, do we not laugh? 
If you poison us, do we not die? 
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” 

 
No one can imitate Shakespeare. 
    Rich vocabulary may be associated with high literary quality, that is not always the case.  Ernest Hemingway used a small number of words and won the Noble prize for literature in 1954. 
  Be simple, be original, Be a winner.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
