Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Sarhali (Tarn Taran) was established in 1970.
Sant Baba Tara Singh Ji was the founder patron of this college. Baba ji established
this college with the active co-operation of the people of this area. The college
has made a significant progress in academic and other fields since then. The contribution
of Sant Baba Tara Singh Ji is also equally important in other fields of life. He
made tremendous efforts during his life to uphold the glory of the Sikh shrines located
in different parts of the country. Baba Charan Singh Ji as his successor continued
the tradition. Now Baba Sukha Singh Ji, present Patron of the college, has been following
in the foot steps of his predecessors.Baba Hakim Singh, President and S. Mukhtar
Singh, Honorary Secretary are working very hard for the overall development of the
college. With the whole-hearted co-operation of the Patron and the Managing committee,
the college has attained many achievements. The college has started the latest career-oriented
courses and thereby is keeping pace with the changing trends in the field of education.
The college is affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar and is also an Associate
Institute of the University. The college has stepped into the fourth decade of its
establishment. It is a government aided co-educational college. It is situated in
natural surroundings at Sarhali on the Amritsar - Tarn Taran - Harike highway. It
is one of the leading colleges to have started various professional computer and
job-oriented courses. The college has secured a prestigious position in the field
of education. It maintains a high academic standard, which is the outcome of the
experienced and hard working staff who works with a missionary zeal. Discipline and
work-culture pervade the campus. The college strictly adheres to the rules and regulations
of the U.G.C., the D.P.I. and G.N.D.U. in terms of working hours in the college.
A spacious well maintained playground is an added attraction for the potential sportspersons.
The ever-growing college library with its books, magazines, journals and newspapers
is pride of the college. Book Bank facility is available to the needy and the poor.
The college building is attractive, neat and airy. A splendid well-groomed lawn in
the campus is praised by all. The college has well stocked and modern canteen. Two
powerful generators have been installed to supply un - interrupted power to the computer
labs and to the college. Concessions for the deserving and intelligent students are
also available. The college provides bus facility to the students of Amritsar, Tarn
Taran & Patti on nominal charges and makes their journey comfortable. With the introduction
of two more buses, the bus facility is being extended from this session to the students
coming from Goindwal Sahib, Fatehabad, Chohla Sahib & Moga, Zira, Makhu, Harike.
Revised Theory Suggests Carbon Dioxide Levels Already in Danger Zone
The authors, who include two Yale scientists, assert that to maintain a planet similar to that on which civilization developed, an optimum CO2 level would be less than 350 ppm — a dramatic change from most previous studies, which suggested a danger level for CO2 is likely to be 450 ppm or higher. Atmospheric CO2 is currently 385 parts per million (ppm) and is increasing by about 2 ppm each year from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and from the burning of forests.
“This work and other recent publications suggest that we have reached CO2 levels
that compromise the stability of the polar ice sheets,How fast ice sheets and sea
level will respond are still poorly understood, but given the potential size of the
disaster, I think it’s best not to learn this lesson firsthand.”
The statement is
based on improved data on the Earth’s climate history and ongoing observations of
change, especially in the polar regions. The authors use evidence of how the Earth
responded to past changes of CO2 along with more recent patterns of climate changes
to show that atmospheric CO2 has already entered a danger zone.
Controlling the flow of heat could be another way to store digital information
Someday, computers might store information using not only electric charges or magnetism, but also tiny packets of heat called phonons. Such heat-based memory is theoretically possible within the laws of physics, new research shows, and this memory would be durable and could be read without destroying the information — two key requirements for useful data storage.
Circuits based on quantum packets of heat rather than electric charges could enable computers to use waste heat — which is currently just shed to keep a processor from overheating — to perform useful computations and store information. A surge of research in the last few years on the physics of controlling the flow of heat packets has yielded designs for heat-based diodes, transistors and logic gates that perform AND, OR and NOT operations.
Unlike the electrons in an electric circuit, phonons in a thermal circuit are not actually particles. Instead, phonons are discrete units of vibration among the atoms in a solid. The stronger these vibrations are, the hotter the solid will be. In materials that conduct heat, phonons travel through the substance just as electrons travel through electrical conductors.
Concentrated heat normally tends to dissipate over time, which would seem to make heat-based memory impossible. Normally, heat flows faster when the temperature difference between two materials is greater, which is why a red-hot burner will heat a pot of water faster than a burner on medium. But the team previously showed that materials can be designed to work in the opposite way, so that a greater temperature difference causes heat to flow more slowly. This reversed response is what allows phonons at one of two temperatures — representing the “on” or “off” of digital memory — to stay at that temperature long enough to make the thermal memory useful.
Violent Video Games Affect Boys Biological Systems
In the study boys (12-15) were asked to play two different video games at home in the evening. The boys’ heart rate was registered, among other parameters. It turned out that the heart rate variability was affected to a higher degree when the boys were playing games focusing on violence compared with games without violent features. Differences in heart rate variability were registered both while the boys were playing the games and when they were sleeping that night. The boys themselves did not feel that they had slept poorly after having played violent games.
The results show that the autonomous nerve system, and thereby central physiological systems in the body, can be affected when you play violent games without your being aware of it. It is too early to draw conclusions about what the long-term significance of this sort of influence might be. What is important about this study is that the researchers have found a way, on the one hand, to study what happens physiologically when you play video or computer games and, on the other hand, to discern the effects of various types of games.
It is hoped that it will be possible to use the method to enhance our knowledge of what mechanisms could lie behind the association that has previously been suggested between violent games and aggressive behavior.
Getting the Solution Of Hair Loss
After six years of research scientists have succeeded in identifying a gene that is responsible for a rare hereditary form of hair loss known as Hypotrichosis simplex. The scientists are the first to identify a receptor that plays a role in hair growth. They now hope that their research findings will lead to new therapies that will work with various forms of hair loss.
Although Hypotrichosis simplex is very uncommon, it may prove critical in our search for an understand of the mechanisms of hair growth. The disease is inherited and affects both men and women. Sufferers generally begin to go bald during childhood. The process of hair loss (alopecia) then advances with age, especially around the scalp.
The cause of Hypotrichosis simplex in the form examined in this project is a genetic defect. It prevents certain receptor structures on the surface of hair follicle cells from being correctly formed. It has been found that when messengers from outside bind to these receptors they trigger a chain reaction in the cell interior which is apparently needed for the hair follicle to function normally. Such a receptor that plays a specific role in hair growth was previously unknown to scientists.
