Ignited Minds

چکیده
The strength of this book by Dr. Kalam is that it has been written in an easy to understand language, where he presents some of the most difficult issues our country is facing today in a very simple way. The book has been divided into nine short chapters, each one of them dealing with various themes. Each chapter begins with a quote and ends with a summary giving the reader something to think about. Dr. Kalam in these chapters talks about his experiences and interactions with people from different spheres of the society, including school and college students, eminent scientists and visionaries, saints and industrialists. The book begins with inspiration to the youth of India to dream and to believe that what they dream can be true. There is a need to change the mindset of people. Dr. Kalam questions the attitude of Indians to settle down with limited achievements without utilising our full potential – resources, talent and skills and points out the lack of world competitiveness. Dr. Kalam also emphasises on the fusion of science with spirituality. Spiritual development is equally important along with the development of other areas, such as education and healthcare, agriculture, information technology and communication and infrastructure.

متن کاملThe net benefits of human-ignited wildfire forecasting: the case of Tribal land units in the United States.
Research shows that some categories of human-ignited wildfires might be forecastable, due to their temporal clustering, with the possibility that resources could be pre-deployed to help reduce the incidence of such wildfires. We estimated several kinds of incendiary and other human-ignited wildfire forecast models at the weekly time step for tribal land units in the United States, evaluating th...
متن کاملThe dynamic response of PEM fuel cells to changes in load
The dynamic response of the stirred tank reactor (STR) polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been explored over the temperature range of 35–105 ◦C. When the fuel cell was operated in the autohumidification mode the fuel cell current “ignited’’ when the membrane water content was greater than a critical level of ∼1.6 H2O/SO3, and it extinguished when the initial membrane water content...
متن کاملSynthesis of Al2O3-ZrO2 Nanocomposite by Mechanical Activated Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis(MASHS) and Ignited via Laser
By consideration of unique properties of composite Al2O3-ZrO2 such as high toughness, high wear resistant and relative low thermal expansion, in this study, nanocomposite of Al2O3-ZrO2 was produced by Mechanical activated Self propagating High-temperature Synthesis (MASHS) using laser beam for ignition. First Al and ZrO2 powders were mixed in the mole ratio of 1:1 and milled for 1, 3 and 6 hour...
