A NOVEL APPROACH FOR PROCESSING BIG DATA
Applications of machine learning are widely used in the real world with either supervised or unsupervised
learning process. Recently emerged domain in the information technologies is Big Data which refers to
data with characteristics such as volume, velocity and variety. The existing machine learning approaches
cannot cope with Big Data. The processing of big data has to be done in an environment where distributed
programming is supported. In such environment like Hadoop, a distributed file system like Hadoop
Distributed File System (HDFS) is required to support scalable and efficient access to data. Distributed
environments are often associated with cloud computing and data centres. Naturally such environments are
equipped with GPUs (Graphical Processing Units) that support parallel processing. Thus the environment
is suitable for processing huge amount of data in short span of time. In this paper we propose a framework
that can have generic operations that support processing of big data. Our framework provides building
blocks to support clustering of unstructured data which is in the form of documents. We proposed an
algorithm that works in scheduling jobs of multiple users. We built a prototype application to demonstrate
the proof of concept. The empirical results revealed that the proposed framework shows 95% accuracy
when the results are compared with the ground truth.

One city, many gates: multimedia journalism in 2014
The document discusses strategies for multimedia journalism and storytelling online. It emphasizes finding different "gates" or entry points to stories, considering the scarcity of media as exclusive, and testing best practices through experimentation. Specific tips include using photos, videos, hashtags and links in social media posts to boost engagement, as well as calls to action like "watch, see, meet" to invite interactions. The document also stresses developing a multimedia sensibility and looking for new ways to tell stories online.
Just Enough Code
Introduces the idea of "Just Enough Code" -- to add a 2- or 3-week module on Web coding into courses like editing, or design, or multimedia. There are 2 reasons to do this. One is to demystify how Web and mobile sites are made. The other is to open a door -- for (at least) some students -- to something they might really have an aptitude for, something they might really enjoy, if you just have a chance to explore it.
Multimedia Journalism Innovations in the Classroom
For a panel about "Innovation in Journalism Education": How teaching multimedia journalism has changed since 1999, and how I have adapted my classes and pushed my department to innovate. Journalism students don't have to be programmers, but they should have an opportunity to learn how to create new story forms for web and mobile platforms.
Summary of journalism faculty curriculum workshop
At the end of a week-long workshop about updating the journalism curriculum at Rhodes University, we discussed a few specific types of assignments and assessment.
Crowdsourcing
Introduction to crowdsourcing for journalists and journalism educators. Use of four cases and what we can learn from them. Three cases include maps; the fourth case does not.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
