Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. There are many things that travel through
the air in waves. Some we cannot see.
3. Light & Sound
• You can see a flash of Lightning almost instantly
• But it takes a while before you hear the thunder
• You can count to tell how far away it is
• Sound takes about 5 seconds to go 1 mile
5. What can they hear?
• Humans – up to 20,000 Hz
• Dogs – up to 40,000 Hz
• Cats – up to 60,000 Hz
• Bats – up to 100,000 Hz
• Dolphins – up to 150,000 Hz
8. What is Echolocation ?
"Echolocation is the use of sound waves
and echoes to determine where objects
are in space”
In other words, echoes help to find the
location of an object.
http://askabiologist.asu.edu/echolocation
12. Blind as a Bat?
• Most bats eat flying insects.
• Bats can see as well as humans, but
echolocation is much more important to
them than their eyesight for finding food.
• Bat’s Echolocation is so precise that it can
detect an object the width of a human hair.
• Mother bats who are feeding their babies,
may catch and eat up to 4500 insects in one
night!
13. Bats can even tell the size, shape and texture of
a tiny insect from its echo .
14. Some moths have developed ways to get away or confuse
bats, such as:
• Furry wings that don't reflect bat echolocation
pulses.
• Sensitive membranes that can 'hear' echolocation
pulses. When the pulses are detected, the moths fly
in crazy patterns or fold their wings and dive to
confuse their hunters.
http://academic.reed.edu/biology/professors/srenn/pages/teaching/web_2007/pf_site/adaptation.html
18. • The Tiger Moth Can can emit
ultrasonic clicks to "jam" a Bat's sonar
(SOund Navigation And Ranging)
• By producing ultrasound of its own, it
is able to ward off bats by acting as a
radar jammer, confusing the bats so
that the moth cannot be located.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctiidae
20. A Scientist was puzzled because she could
hear no sound when Philippine Tarsiers
opened their mouths as if to call.
She placed a Tarsier in front of an ultrasound
detector. It revealed that what she had
assumed to be yawns were high-pitched
screams beyond the range of human hearing.
The Tarsier, only 4 inches long,
communicates using ultrasound at 70 KHz.
23. The Dolphin uses nasal passages to make clicking sounds,
sending them through its forehead, which focuses the sounds
together into a beam before sending it into the water.
24. • When the sound hits an object in the water, it bounces
back to the dolphin as an echo.
• The dolphin absorbs this returning echo through its jaw.
• A passage of fat from the jaw conducts the sound to the
dolphin's inner ear
• The dolphin can tell things about the object, such as size,
shape and material.
25. The cricket, Arachnoscelis lives in the tropical rain forests,
and can produce the highest-frequency ultrasound of any
known insect. These sounds are emitted by the lonely
male, which makes its presence known with a burst of
intense sounds. Listen to their calls!
http://www.sci-news.com/biology/science-bushcricket-
colombia-01265.html
26. House mice use Ultrasonic sounds to attract mates.
Rats and other rodents also use it to communicate.
27. The Huia Cavitympanum is the only known frog species
that can communicate using purely ultrasonic calls. This
unusual frog lives in the Philippines. These frogs can hear
sounds up to 38 kilohertz, the highest frequency any
amphibian species has been known to hear.
28. Science Technology Engineering
• Scientists look at Nature and try to
explain it
• Engineers figure out how to make Science
useful using Technology
• Engineers build new things using
Technology
29. Humans cannot create or hear ultrasound, by
themselves, but we can make devices that do this
for us.
How Is Echolocation used by humans?
30. How it works:
1. A chirp is emitted from the “speaker”
2. It bounces off of an object
3. The echo returns to the microphone
4. The time it takes to travel to the object and back is used to figure out the distance
43. • The Tactic can help the blind move around
safely.
• It is mounted on your wrist and uses ultrasonic
sensors set above the knuckles that can pick up
the distance of objects from one inch to 10 feet
away
• It then translates that distance to pressure on
the wrist--the closer the object, the more
pressure on the wrist.

45. • The Hand Bat is a simple Do It Yourself (DIY)
device similar to the Tactic
• It uses an Arduino Microcomputer, an
ultrasonic sensor and a beeper
• It is built in a low-cost waterproof flashlight
case
• When you point it in different directions, it
sends out an ultrasonic sound and listens for
the echo
• It figures out the distance and tells the user
how far away an object is with different sounds
What happens when you throw a pebble into a pond? Some energy causes waves to travel. In this case it’s you throwing a pebble into the water.Those are visible waves. Do you know any other kinds of waves that are invisible? Sound, radio, light…
----- Meeting Notes (10/28/14 20:49) -----
Both light and sound travel in waves, but light is much faster than sound
Why do you think this happens? Answer: Light travels much faster than sound
----- Meeting Notes (10/28/14 20:49) -----
infrasound is too low for humans to hear, and ultrasound is too high for humans to hear
There are some sounds we cannot hear as humans because the sound waves are either too low pitched (too spaced apart) or too high pitched (too close together) for our ears to receive them.
Wow! Other animals can hear much higher sounds than we can!
----- Meeting Notes (10/28/14 20:28) -----
Low sounds have waves which are far apart, high sounds like ultrasound have waves that are closer together
Sound bounces off of objects and comes back to you. Have you heard echoes?
If something is close by the echo comes back quickly. If it is far away the echo takes much longer to come back.
They can listen for echoes to help them find food and use it to navigate
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
In this drawing of a bat, you can see the nose, mouth and large ears of this bat very clearly
Bats use their special skill of echolocation to be able to "see in low light! Wish we could do that!
In Code of Claw, Gregor learns echolocation, a valuable skill for fighting in the dark.
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
This moth can make sounds which are too high for us to hear, but they can be heard by the bat
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
Mammals also use ultrasounds but not in the same way that bats or moths do! They use them to talk to each other, but humans cannot hear these sounds!
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
Dolphins also use echolocation
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
Let's take a look at how dolphins are able to use echolocation
What does a katydid sound like?
Let's listen to their calls
----- Meeting Notes (4/7/14 11:09) -----
Frogs use ultrasound also!
Later on I will show you a robot that also communicates at 38 kilohertz
Everything we have been looking at so far is science, looking at nature and explaining how it works. Now lets see how technology can figure out how to make echolocation useful to us
Here’s an example of echolocation technology that is based on the echolocation science we just looked at
Just like the dolphin this device has one section that sends out ultrasonic sounds and a different one that listens for the echo (Handout)
What do you think this is? A Ultrasonic rodent repellent
Here is where engineers took that technology that came from the science and invented a new thing
Robots are programmed to make decisions based on input from sensors. What decisions is the robot you saw before making?
A driverless car is a robot car. A robot car is programmed to be able to move about on its own using input from sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the position of objects very close to the vehicle, such as curbs and other vehicles when parking
University students added lots of sensors to a Ford to try to create a driverless car
This is using high frequency radar instead of ultrasound but it is the same principle
