Cloud Computing Gone are the days of a few years ago when we
would have to put our tasks, websites and
materials on a computer or server somewhere.
(We had to put our materials on physical drives
and carry them.) We had to buy a server and
have it set up or have someone set it up for us.
Those servers would need to have datacenters,
power, bandwidth, networks servers and storage.
Also a complicated software stack and a team of
experts, who can install, manage and run them.
This process is what we call hosting in common
language. It costs a lot of money and lot of time
to keep them running all the time. You pay for
these servers when you are running them and you
pay for them when you are not using them. But
now you have a better option - CLOUD
COMPUTING.
Cloud computing is a methodology that offers
network services over the internet. A cloud
computing system consists of highly optimized
virtual datacenters that provide various software,
hardware and information resources for use when
needed. It’s the use of computing resources over
a network typically the internet. The name comes
from the use of a cloud shaped symbol as an
abstraction for the complex infrastructure it
contains in system diagrams. Organizations can
simply connect to the cloud and use the
available resources. This helps companies
avoid capital expenditure on additional on
premises infrastructure resources and instantly
scale up or scale down according to business
requirements.
Cloud computing offers revolutionary
approach for business in how they acquire
technology. It lets them focus on business
rather than worrying about technology.
Instead of buying servers, software and its
employees they get to pay same amount for
same or better system but operated and
managed by another company that holds
their data in their data centers.
Major companies like Amazon, facebook,
twitter use the concept of cloud computing
for running their organization.
With cloud computing you have access to
computing power instantly when you need it.
Put your websites, documents and useful
materials in your cloud server just like you
would put on you dedicated server. If you
suddenly need more computing power
dedicated to you or your site, you can scale
up as much as you need almost instantly.

THE DEERWALKER Message from the Principal
I believe that publication of college bulletin is a very challenging task and it is even more challenging
when it is planned to publish in a regular interval. Special thanks go to the editorial team of “THE
DEERWALKER”, without whose effort this first edition would not have been possible. The outcome is the
blend of untiring effort and dedication and is highly praiseworthy.
This publication is one of the actions taken by the team and management to meet DWIT’s goal of
making its student a complete person with required knowledge not only in academics but in extra-
curricular activities.
I am sure that the readers will enjoy reading this magazine and will get to understand DWIT to some
extent. Finally I would like to congratulate the editorial team for their success in publishing first edition
of THE DEERWALKER!
Mr. Surendra Nath Adhikari
Message from the EDITORIAL TEAM
It's been really a good experience on working on the Editorial team. Having being engaged on these
the best thing was, working with group of people and more as a team. The things we've been learning
on Management on how it feels to be working with a team came into the real world (though its not a
big one).
I guess none of the team members were fully aware on what to do and how to do. As we went on from
our first meeting to collection of articles, their arrangements and to the final preparation of the draft,
things started coming to us and it became easier. Since it was the first time being involved in these kind
of group work I would say it added a great boon on our learning and for our future. The last thing that I
learned is, when you got to do something, you do it by all your means and efforts whatever it takes.
Finally credit to all the team members!

One of the common example of Cloud computing is hosting of servers during
big ceremonies when internet traffic usually gets higher.
And when the traffic gets
down you can release your
server back to the cloud just
as easily. The major
advantage is that when you
need more computing power
you can get it instantly from
the cloud and when you are
done with it you can release it
back to the cloud. Billing is
easy too. It works same as
billing of electricity or gas.
As long as they keep running,
your meter runs as well and
when it is not, your meter
stops too. Or you can think of
it getting into taxi, you run it
as much you need it and
when you are done with it,
you get out and pay your
fare. Why buy the whole taxi
when you can just pay for the
trip. When you want to
access your email you open
your web browser, go to the
email client, and simply log in.
For running any app on the
cloud you just have to login,
customize it and start running
it. Your email or app is not
housed on your physical

Cloud computing can be
used depending on our needs
as a home user or small
business owner or any other.
1. Private Cloud – Private
Cloud functions solely for one
organization as a private
network and is highly secured.
2. Public Cloud – Public cloud
is owned by a cloud service
provider and offers a highest
level of efficiency and shared
resources among any
subscribers with an internet
connection and access to the
cloud space. 3. Community
Cloud - A community cloud is
shared among two or more
organizations that have similar
cloud requirements.
4. Hybrid Cloud is a
combination of at least two
clouds, where the clouds
included are a mixture of
public, private, or
community.
One of the common
example of Cloud
computing is hosting of
servers during big
ceremonies when internet
traffic usually gets higher.

You can save a lot of time
using keyboard shortcuts. Most
people do not even use the
shortcuts they do know. Using
shortcut will increase your
overall productivity. Below are
some of the keyboards
shortcuts we recommend
everyone memorize and use.
These are only for windows
users, sorry for other operating
system users.
Spacebar: This is also very
useful in internet surfing. It will
scroll down one page at a
time. Though we have page
up and page down keys, they
are small in size and quite far
away from your hand position
on the keyboard, so most
people feel uncomfortable to
use those keys. To go one
page up you can use Shift +
Spacebar. And you can also
make use of other two useful
buttons Home and End. If you
are long way down in the
webpage and want to go to
the top press Home and to go
to the end of page from
anywhere in page press End
button.
However on Word you need
to press Home and End key
with the combination of
control key.
Another great use of
spacebar is to pause and
play on vlc media player.
Alt + Tab: You can switch
between open programs
using this key combination.
It is very useful to toggle
between open applications.
Use Shift + Alt + Tab to
switch between open
programs on backward
direction.
Windows Logo + M: If you
are working on lots of
applications or browser tabs
that you don’t wish to show
someone coming nearby,
you can minimize all
applications within a
fraction of a second by
pressing widows key with M.
You can use Windows Logo
+ D also which is a shortcut
to show desktop and you
can press the same keys
again to resume working.
Windows Logo + L: This key
combination helps to lock
your computer instantly
without using ctrl + alt +
delete.
Windows Logo + R: Using a
run command is an efficient
way to execute most of the
applications in a windows
operating system. You can
launch the run command by
pressing windows key + R.
We can create shortcut links
for some of the frequently
used programs but it is not
feasible to keep shortcut links
for all useful applications. If
we know the command word
for applications or system
tools, we can directly execute
that program through the run
command. For example if we
wish to go on Network Setting
you can just type “ncpa.cpl”
in run command and enter
without having to roam
around lots of navigation
pane searching for network
setting irrespective of version
of windows. Most commonly
used run commands are:
Notepad, WinWord, Excel,

mspaint, calc, logoff, regedit,
osk (on screen keyboard),
magnify, fonts, msconfig etc.
Windows Logo + E: This key
combination will open the My
Computer windows pane.
Alt + F4: It is used to exit the
current active application.
Beside this Ctrl + W also works
on most of the applications to
close but for internet browser
it will close the current tab. To
close the browser itself you
need to use Alt + F4.
Alt + Enter: It opens the
properties for the selected
object. This also makes full
screen on most media players.
With combination of mouse
and keyboard
Most computer users don't
take full advantage of the
computer Mouse. For
example the mouse’s scroll
button can do a lot more
things than just scrolling. Below
are some tips.
While browsing the internet
you can open the any link in a
new tab by just hovering over
the link and clicking the scroll
wheel. This will save lot of time
that we spend on right
clicking and clicking on open
in new tab. Probably you all
know that double clicking will
select a
No Smoke: Why the
Fire?
The world should welcome
the electronic cigarette.
Some inventions are so simple,
you have to wonder why no
one has come up with them
before. One such invention is
the electronic cigarette.
Smoking tobacco is the most
dangerous voluntary activity
in the world. More than 5m
people die every year of the
consequences. That is one
death in ten. Yet people
smoke because they value
the pleasure they get from
nicotine in tobacco over long
term certainty that their
health will be damaged. So it
seems rational to welcome a
device that separates the
dangerous part of smoking
(the tar, carbon monoxide
and smoke released by the
process of combustion) from
the nicotine.
E-cigarette uses electricity
from a small battery to
vaporize a nicotine-
containing solution, so that
the user can breathe it in. E-
cigarettes work by turning
nicotine-infused liquid into
vapour, which is then inhaled.
A user is therefore said to be
“vaping”, and is not inhaling
all the noxious substances
found in ordinary cigarettes.

word and triple clicking will
select a paragraph in a text
editor or browser. But I bet
most of you don’t know how
to select words vertically or
any particular part of the
document just like selecting
the icons in desktop. Press the
Alt key and start dragging
your mouse in the desired
direction in any text editor
(except basic notepad but
works on notepad++), it will
highlight the text under
the/your selection. Now you
can perform your desired
action on the selected text
like copying or making bold
etc. But you can’t do right
click on that otherwise the
selection will vanish, you have
to use shortcut keys such as
Ctrl + C to copy or Ctrl + B to
make it bold etc.. This is very
useful when you need to
select a certain column part
in word.
Ctrl + Scroll: It will Zoom In and
Out on a web page, word
document, excel
spreadsheet, etc.

Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened
to "nanotech") is the study of
manipulating matter on
an atomic and molecular scale.
Nano-particles are 10 times smaller than
the Red Blood Cell (RBC). Therefore they
can be easily transported through
blood. Using tiny nano-capsules
scientists have created a tiny drug
delivery system which precisely releases
the treatment without harming the
body. Nano-capsules are nanometer
sized, hollow, spherically shaped objects
that can be utilized to encapsulate
small amounts pharmaceuticals,
enzymes, or other catalysts. The purpose
of a targeted drug delivery system is to
locate and target the diseased cell or
tissue so that we can have a protected
drug interaction with the diseased cell
or tissue.
Imagine you get persistent sickness and
visit the doctor to get treatment for it.
Instead of prescribing you a pill or giving
you an injection, the doctor refers you
to a special medical team and they
implant a tiny robot (nano-robot) into
your bloodstream. A nano-robot is a tiny
machine designed to perform a specific
task with precision at the nano-scale
(10-9 meter). Nano-robots are also called
nanobots, nanoids, nanites and nano-
machines. The robot detects the cause of
your sickness, travels to the appropriate
system and provides a dose of medication
directly to the infected area.
In the near future it might be a common
method of treating diseases but at present it
is in research stage. In a research
conducted on mice, scientists from Rice
University and University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center reported
enhanced effectiveness and reduced
toxicity of an existing treatment for head
and neck cancer when using the nano-
particles to deliver the drug.
If research being conducted results in
success then this drug delivery system will
help reduce the number of dosages taken
by the patient with a more uniform effect of
the drug and reduction of drug side effects.
This system will treat many diseases, such
as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
However, the most important application of
targeted drug delivery will be to treat
cancerous tumors.

MOVIE REVIEW: INCEPTION
Nolan has crafted a movie
that’s beyond brilliant and
layered both narratively
and thematically. It
requires the audience to
take the driving seat and
demands intense
concentration to
understand the fascinating
subtext. Nolan has raised
thoughtful and complex
ideas, and wrapped
everything all in a
breathlessly exciting action
film. Inception may be
complicated, but it is one
of the best movies ever. It
has a solid 8.8 rating on
Imdb and ranks 12th on all-
time top 250 list.
With the likes of Leonardo
DiCaprio(Titanic), Joseph
Gordon-Levitt(500 Days of
Summer), Tom Hardy(The
Dark Knight Rises) and
Cilian Murphy(Red Eye),
Inception assembles a wide
variety of talented and
worldwide popular cast
which guarantees a
worldwide blockbuster
Inception centers on a
team of professionals led
by an “extractor” named
Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio)
who, through the use of a
special device, constructs
the dreams of a target and
uses those dreams to
implant an idea so that the
target will make a decision
beneficial to the person
who hired the team.
The film layers dreams on top
of dreams to the point
where a unique keepsake
called a “totem” is required
in order to inform a
character as to whether or
not he or she is still
dreaming. Then you have
people in particular roles like
“The Architect (Ellen
Page)”,“The Forger (Tom
Hardy) and “The Chemist
(Joseph Gordon Levitt) in
order to pull off the job.
The film deserves, demands,
and rewards repeat
viewings, but from your first
viewing you can grasp the
events on screen and how
they interact with each
other as long as you force
yourself to be an active
viewer. The action climax
of Inception is exhilarating.
Inception features one of
the best fight scenes of all-
time that includes the fight in
zero gravity. Cobb’s
relationship with his wife Mal
(Marion Cotillard) is the heart
of Inception. Mal dies in a
dream and is captured
permanently leaving Cobb
with a great tragedy. Mal’s
appearance in Cobbs’s
dream often distracts him
from his work. The
interactions among the
supporting characters are
standard for a well-made
action movie, but the
relationship between Cobb
and Mal is yet another
INCEPTION: A World beyond
Imagination
Inception, a masterpiece by
Christopher Nolan (The Dark
Knight, Memento) is a
perfect combination of well
driven story lineup and
amazing visual effects that
will surely amaze you and
leave you with a lot of
questions.
reason why Inception stands apart. You’ve never seen anything like Inception, and you’ll
want to see it again and again. It’s not a confusing movie if you provide it with your full
attention. My RATING 4.5/5
