Transparent walled Future Aircraft

Shape future aircraft cabin may provide a more natural setting with direct lighting from the outside. Aircraft manufacturer Airbus aircraft concept futurtistik reveal that using such a transparent wall of the cabin.

"The research we did showed that in 2050, passengers hoping to travel with nayaman experience while still concerned with the environment. Concept cabin is designed in accordance thinking like that," said Charles Champion, Executive Vice President of Engineering in London on Monday (13 / 6 / 2011).

With a transparent cabin, all passengers can enjoy the scenery outside the aircraft more freely. No origin transparent, because the walls can vary according to conditions beyond the level of lighting because it uses a smart membrane materials. Dindingnay can set the exposure to the sun so the temperature in the room can be stabilized.

The plane, which may not be produced in 2050 was also equipped with an interactive entertainment and technology today is probably just wishful thinking. For example, games that form the hologram in the front passenger.

Airbus designers also believe, then passengers can even play golf in the aircraft cabin. Certainly not playing in a real sense, but virtually in one part that is designed like a golf course. On another occasion, the same place can be transformed into meeting rooms according to the needs of passengers.

There is also a special room equipped for the leisure facilities that improve mood lighting, aromatherapy, massage facilities, and fresh air with the content of antioxidants to help passengers relax.

Interestingly, the plane was also carrying, among others, utilizing green technology to convert heat energy tebarukan passenger's body becomes a source of energy for entertainment facilities are available for every passenger. The technology in these aircraft also use the fuel highly efficient, low emissions, and waste treatment are effective.

Overall, the cabin design of Airbus aircraft mimics a bird bone concept. Bone structure is like a bird that makes it able to fly very efficiently. Well, the concept of such aircraft, the journey might not just move from one place to another but an unforgettable experience. Just wait for this plane into a reality.

Cats Can Also Bark

A cat caught on camera while making a sound like a barking dog. Animal behavior expert Nicholas Dodman scientifically explain the incident.

According to Dodman, the structure of the larynx, trachea, and diaphragm cat is quite similar to the arrangement in dogs. "We operate on certain conditions, can produce a sound like a cat bark," explains Dodman who is also professor at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University.

The bark, as described Dodman, resulting airflow is suddenly in the airways. "Cats are too happy to produce that sound. Similar to meow imposed," he said.

Cats are also studying the possibility of a dog barking sound. "It could be imitating the sound often heard," says Dodman to Life's Little Mysteries.

In a video viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube, the cat made ​​a sound like a barking towards the window. When viewing the record owner, cat meow sound re-issued.

Octopus Robot Helps Doctors Surgery

A research group funded by the European Commission to develop a complete robotic octopus with tentacles artifisialnya. Currently, a prototype robot that measures 17 inches in the works.

This octopus robot will have seven tentacles artificially. This robotic tentacles could change the nature, from flexible to rigid, so that the multifunctional, with a tight grip certain objects, to support something.

The tentacles are made of alloy steel wires wrapped in leather and nylon made ​​from silicone. With a blend of ingredients that can tentacles writhe like a snake around the object before finally holding it.

With the flexibility of the tentacles, the surgeon Britain hoping this robot could serve as the basis of endoscopic tools to help make the process of surgery. Other parties hope robots could serve as a means of exploration or search and rescue in water.

As quoted by FoxNews (22/07/2011), robot-making project called "The Octopus Project" will be completed in 2013. Just wait for the greatness of this robot action later.

Conservation International, a nonprofit organization that focuses on environmental sustainability include rainbow frog borneo (Ansonia latidisca) in the list of "Top 10 Most Wanted Lost Frogs." The institute also had expressed concerns that the frog is probably already extinct. Beetle was last seen by European explorers in 1924.

According Indraneil Das, a professor from the University Malaysia Sarawak, who led the expedition, they do a search since last August but could not find the frog.

Homo Neanderthals and Modern Man One Blood?

Participants of a carnival in Mainz, Germany, dressed Neanderthals

Could be, most modern humans currently carry human DNA fragments of ancient Neanderthals from one of their sex chromosomes.

The findings are revealed in a recent research conducted a number of researchers at the University of Montreal, Canada, as released LiveScience, Friday (07/22/2011). The researchers found evidence then developed the theory that Neanderthals are the extinct Homo had sex with modern humans or Homo sapiens.

This happens when modern humans migrated out of Africa during the period 50 000 80 000 years ago. Neanderthals DNA fragments were found on the X chromosome (carriers femininity) man. As much as 9 percent of men are now starting from Asia, Europe and America are expected to carry DNA fragments.

In a study conducted in 2010, Damian Labuda researchers from the University of Montreal to extract DNA from bones found in Croatia Neanderthals. Then they compared this DNA with modern human X chromosome 6092 today throughout the continent. The result, researchers found there was little similarity of modern human DNA fragments with gene Neanderthals.

Neanderthals who lived during the Pleistocene is estimated to have physical characteristics such as height, pale skin and red hair. Physical appearance is quite similar to modern humans that exist today, especially in Europe.

Researchers Remind 3D Object in Mobile Phone Dangers

Latest gadgets are always promising pleasure in providing entertainment. However, the researchers caution, too much use of smartphones to see a 3D object can damage the eyes and cause headaches. This is the same as if you are too old to play 3D games on the PC.
This problem is caused by the eye focus are required to display a small (average smartphone 3.5 inch or 9.7 inch for the tablet PC), then, simultaneously also the eyes adjust to the distance of objects on the screen.

This phenomenon is known as 'vergeance-accommodation' or the way the eyes adjust to the simultaneous movement toward or away on an object as the focus. Most people do not feel comfortable when it seemed the object of the smartphone appear on the front of the screen.

As quoted from the pages of the Daily Mail, an optometrist (optician) Professor Martin Banks from the University of California says. "The discomfort that occurs when viewing stereo 3D object is a big problem that could limit the use of technology. We hope this can inspire further research in this field."

In addition, too much to see stereo 3D objects can also cause fatigue, discomfort and headaches besides. It is felt by the 24 adults who become the object of research.

"Because at the same time the eyes have to adjust the distance of the object, which seemed to appear in front of or behind the scenes," explains Banks.

The results show, see 3D object on your smartphone and desktop from close range, cause discomfort. When viewing a 3D object distance like in the cinema, which places the object behind the scenes as we see from the window panels, also cause discomfort.

The researchers were then hope there are advanced studies in the future, with a broader sample, especially children.

A number of businesses now are increasingly developing the use of 3D. These include product advertisements that aired in the media for smartphones and tablet PCs, TV, cinema, and a number of digital billboards have also started using three-dimensional objects.

With the widespread use of 3D stereo in entertainment, communications, and medical technology, the researchers proposed that the guidelines to deal with gaps display presented on various screens. It adjusts the screen size and position of the user's smartphone or tablet PC.

"This is an area of ​​research, where science meets terapannya theory. We hope this study can be processed quickly to offset the more widespread use of technology," said Banks.
