Recently
a software has designed by an IPS officer ASP Navniet Sekera named "Sewa-100".
This is a distinctive type of software and it is a hundred percent accurate system in
detecting the fake and unwanted calls. The software also consists of useful data of stolen
vehicles, vehicles and weapons registered in the district etc. Besides, it has ability to
record the discussion made between the caller and the operator and able to create unique
record of the incidence by recording reply time.
According
to a scientific report in the field of medical technology scientists now believe that
intelligence is reside in a precise part of the brain. This conclusion drew by the
two German teams along with the researchers from the British Medical Research Council's
cognition and brain sciences division in Cambridge after using a scanning system which
relates blood flow to brain movement.
A
Technique For Detecting The Leak -
Sometimes we are unable or it takes lot of effort to find out the exact leak position. To
overcome the situation, experts at the University of Michigan have established a new
technique of using sound to trace the leak. Under this technique, the part which is to be
tested is filled with hexafluoride (a nontoxic inert tracer gas) scanned at 6000 times per
second with a carbon dioxide laser. During the process, when the laser encounters an
escaping gas, consequently it expands, heats rapidly and generates a sound which is
detected at pinpoint leak by the Sonar. This technique will play a vital role in tracing
the little bit of leakage in huge parts.
Robot :
At your service round the clock - In Hong Kong, Scientists have developed a robot which
will works like domestic servants i.e. it will cleans the floors and performs the such
other tasks that people are disinclined to do. The cost of such robots which even
sweeps up under the beds will be US $6,500 each. But this aspect is still under
consideration to replace these robots with domestic servants because of the robots have no
any cooking or child-care skills.
Cash
& Carry Shops for Degrees - Now the rich foreign students can get their degrees as per
their choice. 'British Liberal Education' acquired a new sense with the exposé that
there are some universities who have become cash and carry shops for degrees.
Overall there is no obstruction of language for those students who are willing to pay for
the degrees.
A new
search at the University of California in Los Angeles has proved that the couples who
regularly argue may be damaging their health. This is the first study of its
kind. According to the researchers, the natural killer cells in our blood, which are
meant to shield our body from the disease came out during the arguing clash. As a
result whenever our body encounter with virus infection/attack, the killer cells are
underpowered and expose to a bigger risk of disease.
Gardening
in cyber space - A website (http://www.vegetablesquare.com) contains e-gardening
going to be launch in next month by Thailand's leading university of agriculture.
Personalised vegetable plots will be offered to website participants on a farm near
Bangkok.
IBF
(International Badminton Federation) is thinking of introducing yellow and red cards, like
in football, to check misbehaviour on courts. If implemented, then it would give
unpires greater powers to deal with indiscipline incidents.
A great
invention in the field of Medical Technology - To cure blushing, british surgeons have
developed a pioneering operation. In this technique, surgeons are able to cut a
nerve buried in the body near the lungs that controls blood flow to the cheeks. From
this experimental technique work out by Chris Drott (a vascular surgeon, Highgate
Hospital, London) twenty five people have benefited.
Astronomers
in Hawaii, discovered a huge magnetic bubble of size 3000 light years in a near by
galaxy. According to British astronomer Jane Greaves this would be helpful in the
study of how magnetic fields help shape starburst regions.
The most
recent effort to quantify Internet addiction comes from Berlin's Humboldt University,
where a study involving approximately 300,000 German Internet users who have been
identified as potential Internet addicts is being undertaken. According to psychologist
Andre Hahn, one of the scientists involved in the study, the average Internet addict
spends 34 hrs every week online. Apart from the youngsters and older women, singles who
did not complete high school were also found to be especially at risk.
Europe's
most poisonous plant (acontium or monkshood) have been stolen from a shed at Wanborough
Herb Nursery in England. These plants can cause illness in minutes, burning,
sweating, dizziness and numbness in few minutes if swallowed or touched.
According
to British engineers, robot controlled taxis and journalists with cameras implanted in
their eyes will be commonplace by 2010. In future humans will be ferried home in
robot-controlled taxis fitted with 'auto drive' systems.
The
library of US Congress opened a new web site for children and families.
The web site - http://www.americaslibrary.gov/
launched on 25th April, 2000 with about 3000 items covering educational items for kids and
families.
The first
blood bank for dogs has launched in Bangkok's veterinary hospital and it will start
seeking blood donations from eligible canines.
A
revolution in the field of Medical Technology brings hope for hundreds of thousands of
paraplegics - With the help of electrodes and a computer chip doctors replaced the damaged
nerves of a paralysed man and he has regained the power to walk.
