Projects of Team Skillocity

By -
The developers of our team, Pranav Sawant and Anshuman, have undertaken many projects especially in the field of CS and Physics. These projects highly boosted our academic repertoire and helped us to gain a lot of knowledge and experience. By working on these projects we not only got better at the respective subjects but also had a lot of fun! We hope to undertake more projects in the future and further enhance our knowledge and understanding in the educational field. Here are the highlights of some of our projects : 1) Skillocity : We started Team Skillocity in January 2021 with an aim to share our knowledge with other like minded readers. We are fortunate to have amassed nearly 10,000 viewers in just a few months and this project is still going strong. All of our projects are connected to Team Skillocity and this was our first project as a team. We will continue to share our knowledge with more readers and hope to post relevant and interesting content.  2) PWA (Powerful WebApp) d...

Diabetes Detector Web App

Machine Learning - a concept that most people struggle to comprehend and most of them who do comprehend would have many different perceptions about it. I myself have been working on Machine Learning and its algorithms for about 6 months and after some rigorous training in Machine Learning and its subsidiary subjects such as Statistics and Linear Algebra, I've finally started to get a hold of it (even though a lot of work is yet to be done). We launched our first native app -SkillChem- yesterday and today here we are with our first web app. This app is a diabetes detector and detects whether a particular patient has diabetes depending upon various parameters such as glucose, insulin, diabetes pedigree function etc. According to the creators of the dataset, the diabetes pedigree function scores likelihood of diabetes based upon family history of the disease. This web app is based on Machine Learning and works on the Random Forest Classifier algorithm.  We have deployed the app using ...

Habitability of Planets Using Narlikar Index : Special Research

By -
  Is our insignificant little planet Earth the only one out there in the universe to be blessed with life? Could we find conscious beings out there in the vast unknown universe? Many such questions and theories exist about extra-terrestrial life , but unfortunately none of them have been proven to be true. So, can we find life on other planets? Well that’s a tough question and since the universe ( or the multiverse ) is so massive, we need to target certain planets in order to find life. That’s exactly the point that we are going to touch in this paper. What is the habitability of planets ? How can we make our eternal quest for life easier ? Which are the planets that presumably have life and how do we find them ? Many such questions would be answered in this paper. What is habitability, how is it defined and what are the parameters and factors that define it ? The ability of a planet to develop, harbour and maintain an environment suitable to life is termed as planetary habitabili...

Tennis GOAT Debate

By -
Who is the greatest of all time ? It’s a question that gets posed in every sport from soccer to tennis. Because believe it or not, the only thing fans and the media are interested in, is debates and lists. Tennis is no exception; the world’s best have been competing in the Open Era since 1968. Hence, the list of potential candidates for the GOAT( Greatest of All Time) has only gotten longer. I’ll be talking about the men’s side of the debate in this article cause the women’s side deserves a separate article on it too! When the first decade of the 21 st century loomed, no one could have foreseen that three players would dominate men’s tennis for more than two decades ! For most tennis fans, the GOAT debate revolves around three players which are Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. But have they really done enough to place themselves in a league of their own, head and shoulders above legends such as Rod Laver, Arthur Ashe, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connor...

PWA (Powerful WebApp) deployment for Skillocity

By -
Image
As a team which believes in providing our users with the most powerful and easy to use tools, we are announcing a feature which would enable easy access of our blog directly from the home screen of your phone!  You're probably thinking we are launching an app, right? Well we also believe in surprising our audience, and so it is not exactly an app. An app would require extra memory space on your device and would not work on laptops/desktops but only phones/tablets.  Instead, you can now add a shortcut to our blog which runs through chrome, on your device. Usually, if you add a shortcut for a website, it would just add a shortcut to a single webpage you added a shortcut to. But in our case, after extensive coding, we have enabled our user the ability to add a shortcut to the entire website to make it easier to access, without the need of opening Chrome. This makes it feel just like an app! With this feature, you could just have an app like experience for our blog on your laptop ...

Vectors: A Physicist's perspective

By -

    PDF file of this document available for download !             Mathematical interpretation of everyday reality of all linear algebra boils down to matrices and all of matrices boils down to vectors – Anonymous V ectors, what really are they? To answer this question, there are three main ways of looking at it. One is the physics perspective; one is the Computer Science perspective and one is the Mathematical perspective. As always, we’re going to explore this topic both on an intuitive and mathematical level. Let’s tackle the Physics perspective in this article which is arguably the most trivial and easy to understand. More complex vector equations and operations will however not be included in this article (although I personally love linear algebra and higher applications of vector fields and tensor mechanics). A vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Some examples of vectors are displacement, velocity, force, el...
