Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Scientists have created an application for Google Glass on Glass Captioning , which displays before me that says one caller. Designed for the hearing impaired, it could be used to translate live.

Among the applications for Google Glass, it is dedicated to those whose ears became lazy.  It only works for now only in English and in a situation of two-party.  © Google

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an idea of applying for ingenious glasses connected to Google suitable for those with hearing problems: it subtitle conversations simultaneously. This project could not only help the hearing impaired, but also those who are trying to have a conversation in a noisy place or any viewer having trouble understanding the actors mumble in a movie.

The free application, called Captioning on Glass , relies on voice recognition included in Android phones, while eliminating one of the biggest flaws of Google Glass , namely the poor quality of its built-in microphone arms of glasses. The tool, in effect, transforms the smartphone user in sound receiver. The principle has two advantages: better microphone and in that it can be placed closer to the person who is speaking.

Fans of space exploration will be able to indulge. Indeed, NASA now puts freely available in its beta , files for 3D printer that can be used to make miniature reproductions plastic models of several spacecraft , to asteroids and even lunar or Martian landscapes. Fans can thus offer a smaller version of the famous Rosetta , Cassini, Voyager, Pioneer, Mars Odyssey , Kepler or the huge Valles Marineris and Gale crater (currently explored by Curiosity).

There are also two expansions (8 cm square) of the lunar surface covering an area of 400 kilometers. Since its inception in 1958, the American space agency has established this type of sharing with the general public in the form of drawings, images and videos.

The equation predicts happiness in 18,000 people

The researchers then found that happiness at a given time depended on the awards received recently. Those received over 10 rounds previously had little effect. But they also found that the expectations of the participants had an impact . For Robb Rutledge, lead author of the study, "we were surprised to discover how expectations were important in determining happiness" . For example, the failure to win anything decreased happiness if the other option was to gain 2 pounds, but increased if the other was to lose the same amount. "It is often said that you will be happier if your expectations are limited. We find that there is a form of truth to it: low expectations increase the likelihood that the result exceeds expectations " .

http://carmiell.blogspot.com/2014/08/whales-mitigate-climate-change.html

From these data, the researchers constructed a mathematical equation in which the happiness expressed by the participants is connected to the recently received awards and expectations. This equation had to predict how people declared themselves to be happy. To validate their model, they applied to 18,420 people worldwide with a mobile phone game. In this context, the equation can predict the state of happiness of the participants when they played on their devices, even if they only earned points and not money.

In addition, during the initial laboratory experiment, neural activity was measured in participants through functional MRI that was interested in a brain area specific: the striatum . Indeed, it has a lot of neurons to dopamine , a neurotransmitter involved in the reward system. From the results obtained, dopamine plays a role in determining the happiness felt.

This work may find applications medical: the fact mathematically predict subjective states, like happiness, can help doctors better understand and treat mood disorders.

An equation to predict happiness?

An equation to predict happiness?

Researchers have built a mathematical equation that could predict happiness. According to their work, it does not only depend on the recent events of life, but also because they are better than expected.

The happiness is an elusive concept and also a matter for philosophers well as scientists. In general, we can say that it is influenced by life circumstances and characteristics of a population, as its wealth. But what influences happiness at some point? Researchers at the University College London wanted to better understand how the accumulation of positive or negative events could influence the feeling of being happy at any given time.

In an article published in  PNAS , scientists describe experiments they conducted on 26 people aged 20 to 40 years. In the protocol used, the participants had to choose between two options: one safe and the other risky (a game where one is as likely to win than to lose money). Regularly during the experiment, participants were asked whether they felt happy.

The rheumatoid arthritis is inflammation of the joints very painful that affects about 1% of the world population. So far, there are only drugs that slow or stabilize the disease that causes the degeneration of cartilage and bone. A team of researchers at the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) managed to completely cure mice with an antibody combined armed to one already available, the Dexamethasone.

If we apply only one or the other treatment, there is no effect. However, if both are administered simultaneously, the typical inflammation of the disease disappear in a few days. The discovery is described in an article published in  PNAS .

From next year, clinical trials are planned in patients with chronic arthritis. The project is supported by the Federal Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). Tests will be conducted by the biotechnology company Philochem, based near Zurich.

Waves polarized material

Waves polarized material

In the case of the experiment performed at the Institute Laue-Langevin, photons are replaced by polarized neutrons (their momentum clean, the spin is oriented in a definite direction in space), which thus behave in part like waves like photons. Those with a parallel spin their movement and oriented in the same direction borrow the way up on the previous scheme. While those whose spin is antiparallel follow the way down. One can use a magnetic field able to interact with the magnetic moment of the neutron. This stems from the fact that, although no overall charge as the electron , the neutron behaves as a magnetized rotor (can be convinced, for example, considering that it contains electric currents because it consists of quarks loaded in motion).

Typically, a highly disturbing a quantum measurement object, detecting a photon often returns to absorb for example. However, as shown by Yakir Aharonov and others, it is possible to make measurements slightly disturbing some quantum systems. In the experience of Grenoble, it is shown by this method that everything happens as if a single neutron had traveled by road from the top while its magnetic moment , so its spin was measured "low" using a magnetic field in the path of the bottom. Seen with interference fringes that can occur with neutron beams. The particle seems to behave indeed like a cat quantum Cheshire since its spin is found measured in a place where it should not exist.

According to researchers, this strange phenomenon is expected to have applications in the fields of metrology precision and technology of quantum information.

the arrival of the light quanta

The principle of Mach-Zehnder interferometer shown in this diagram is explained in more detail in the text below.  It can also perform well with photons with matter waves.

At first glance absurd, yet this situation occurs in our real world as recently shown in an international team of researchers who published in Nature Communications , the results of an experiment they conducted with beams neutrons available at Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble.

The Mach-Zehnder interferometer is operated with the conventional light . Its two blades semitransparent and two are used mirrors for experiments illustrating the principles of quantum physics. With the best known of them, a first blade separates a beam of light into two beams that follow separate one does reflect off two mirrors so that they finally recombine on the second blade paths, as shown in the diagram above. Two detectors can then record the light.

With photons and the two paths are of equal length, the detector always placed horizontally arrival register while the vertical which is never observed. If one wants to know which way, from the top or the bottom, pass the photons, for example, inserting a third detector, the first two indicate the arrival of the light quanta. Variants of this experiment with the existing production fringes of interference connected to specific physical phenomena.

material used in Limoges has the best interface with living tissue

"Bone is able to grip in a ceramic material and the like when it is injured will not grow more than one centimeter, but it is also known that a bony bridge centimeter is sufficient to ensure the strength of the implant . With this porosity, after six months, the bone has recolonized about 25% porous zones and the prosthesis is an integral part of the patient " , welcomes Dr. Brie. "Induced extra cost is largely absorbed by the almost total reduction risk of infection, the remission is less risky, the patient therefore costs less to social security " , he argues, although transaction costs between 10,000 and 18,000 euros depending on the implants, forcing Dr. Brie find additional partners CHU Limoges funding.

With a clinical trial success in 2009, so it continues to operate on patients from all over France, supported by the only innovation CHU budget. In July 2013, he published the results of his research in the scientific journal Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery . When he has gathered a sample of 30 patients, Joel Brie may compile statistics on the benefits of this technology.

CHU Lille or Toulouse that were interested. At Stanford, Dr. Franck Boutault, head of maxillofacial surgery, said the material used in Limoges has the best interface with living tissue. The surgeon, who uses prosthetics Peek (PolyEtherEtherKetone) a  polymer derived also biocompatible technology of 3D printing, questioned the strength of the prosthesis. Why would he be able to experience the method and to an ambitious comparative study.

A lifelike skull

When he meets Christopher Chaput, founder of 3DCeram in 1998 in Limoges, Brie Joel sees an ally to answer the question that obsesses him: how to get to these patients, one hundred cases each year in France, a real skull than life?

The company can, thanks to a technology developed from the technology developed by the laboratory SPCTS (Science ceramic processes and surface treatments) design a machine modeling digital three-dimensional missing part of the skull. In maximum 48 hours the object is then modeled in laser before cooking, says Christophe Chaput. "The machine creates the object in increments of 25 microns , or one quarter of thick hair with such precision that the cut is virtually tailor-made " , he added.

Obsessed doctor is to find the most biocompatible less inflammatory material, therefore, in which the bone can grow and settle permanently, 3DCeram added to his prosthesis hundreds of pinholes in the periphery, forming a real lace that would impossible to replicate without this technology. This is the porosity of about 60% which makes the real added value.

A prosthesis cranial ceramic

A prosthesis cranial ceramic, designed to Limoges , city cradle of porcelain, could revolutionize surgery maxillofacial through technology, so perfect that it fooled the body itself. "With this prosthesis, we past from prehistory to reconstructive surgery 2.0 " , says Joel Brie, physician serving maxillofacial surgery CHU Limoges, who developed this cranial prosthesis now 3DCeram .

For more than ten years since the doctor works with them on this osteoconductive implant, which is used to treat patients who have lost more than 15% of the surface of the skull . The bet is on track to be successful: "on the first 17 ​​patients operated since 2005, we have zero infection" , provides specialist. "The best reconstruction is certainly always the one made ​​with the patient's bone, but sometimes celui- it has a risk of infection " , he notes.

In other words, before the invention of this prosthesis, medicine did not provide a satisfactory answer to a whole segment of patients. "We can live with part of the skull and less, as you can live with some serious malformations of the skull, but apart from the fact that it is unsightly, there are health risks. These patients often suffer from symptoms of a great trauma: headache, dizziness, irritability, poor concentration, epilepsy  , " says the surgeon.

The tradition of Limoges porcelain, revolutionized by 3D printing technology allows today to manufacture ceramic implants on cranial measure. Perfectly biocompatible and greatly reducing the risk of infections, these implants are a blessing for patients who have lost a part of the bone covering the skull in an accident or because of the removal of a tumor.

The number of invertebrates is almost halved

The number of invertebrates is almost halved

But large terrestrial vertebrates are not the only ones affected. Among invertebrates , 67% of monitored populations showed a decline of 45% in 35 years while at the same time, the human population has doubled. This invertebrate disappearance would also be caused by habitat loss and changing climate . This could have consequences for the functioning of ecosystems , but also on human well-being. Indeed, insects pollinate 75% of world cultures and also play an important role in the decomposition of the material, a process that supports the productivity of ecosystems.

While all five previous crises were caused by natural phenomena, the current extinction of animal species could be related to human activity. Therefore Dirzo Rodolfo, professor of biology at Stanford and senior author of the article speaks of our times like the "defaunation of the Anthropocene"  : "where the population density is high, you get high speed defaunation of an incidence of significant rodents and so high levels of pathogens , thereby increasing the risk of disease transmission. Who would have thought that defaunation only would all these dire consequences? " .

more than 320 species of vertebrate land went out

In this study, researchers report that since the beginning of the XVI th century, more than 320 species of vertebrate land went out. Those that remain have seen their population decrease of 25%. In vertebrates, 16-33% are threatened or endangered . Large animals that are part of the "  megafauna  "(elephants, rhinos, polar bears ...) are particularly affected. Indeed, these populations are often more limited than those of smaller animals lower growth rate and offspring. They also typically require extensive habitat to maintain viable populations. But their large mass also makes them prime targets for hunting ...

The consequences of the loss of large animals could be studied locally. For example, in Kenya, researchers looked at the effect of the displacement of species of megafauna (zebras, giraffes , elephants ...) on the evolution of ecosystems . Soon enough, they found that these areas were invaded by rodents . The grass and shrubs grew, there were more seeds and shelter available and less risk of predation. Consequently the number of rodents has doubled, as did ectoparasites carry diseases that lodged.

This could be a sign of extinction of species mass, the sixth planet that would know.

Summer sky and the Night of Stars

The other reason (not least) to advance these meetings the public with amateur and professional astronomers is a spatial event that scientists have been waiting for 10 years: the arrival, on August 6, of Rosetta in the bosom of the Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko . For several months, the mission of the ESA will conduct the investigation into this ball of ice and dust 4 km long. For Afa and its partners is an opportunity to discuss the fascinating subject of these celestial bodies that abound in our solar system and are witnesses to our origins . A theme that also runs directly the shooting stars, because they are naturally spin by comets.

The famous meteor swarm is called Perseids because its radiate is located precisely in the direction of the constellation Perseus. Like every year, activity peaks on the night of August 12 to 13 (about 100 meteors per hour). Unfortunately at that time, a few hours after the super full moon of August 10 (the moon will be only 356,922 km), the clarity of our natural satellite invade heaven and spoil the party a bit, leaving us see then that the brightest meteors.

Road deaths in France since January 2014

And because the numbers engaged barometer of road safety are edifying. In terms of mortality, there is a monthly equivalent of an air crash of an airliner just on the roads of France.

Road deaths in France since January 2014:

January 238 killed
February 218 killed
March 256 killed
April 255 killed
 May 258 killed
Therefore, abandon your flight for fear of accident and fall back on a destination you could reach by car, is not certainly not the safest option.

BLACK SERIES. Summer 2014 was marked by a litany of disaster and air disasters.

Friday, July 25, the wreckage of the aircraft on the flight AH 5017 between Ouagadougou and Algiers is found in the desert. The President of the Republic announced in a statement that there were no survivors among the 119 passengers.

If the approach is bold, it is not unprecedented. "This kind of experience is in Earth orbit since the late 1990s, says in a statement Hervé Cottin, chief scientist and professor at the PSS UPEC (University Paris-Est Creteil.) This is the third time we to install on the International Space Station since 2008 Every time we make improvements to our protocols for sample preparation, we change molecules and improving our exposure devices, "says the researcher.

The experience that takes advantage of a new generation of sensors expected to be completed by the end of next year. The samples then reveal their secrets in the different laboratories involved in the experiment.

Facing the void and the bombing of the space .

Samples of organic molecules will be attached to the outside of the International Space Station during a planned release on August 21. The molecules remain for several months exposed to UV radiation from the sun. "The main source of energy in chemical reactions in the Universe" the researchers said. And without that the molecules are protected by the Earth's atmosphere that filters out a lot of UV reaching us.

It aims to better understand how Earth appeared on the original bio-chemistry from which life emerged and developed.

One hypothesis that want to test the researchers is that organic chemistry * would not have appeared on Earth, but in space.

* Organic molecules are composed of at least one carbon atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. They are closely related to the existence of life: coiled DNA in cells is composed of an assembly of such organic molecules.

"Once expelled from the comet, these compounds are then subjected to solar radiation during their stay in space until they eventually end up reaching a planet on which they contribute to the first chemical reactions preceding life "continue the researchers.

EXPERIENCE. How life has she been able to appear on our planet? An experiment to provide some answers to this existential question took off Wednesday, July 23, 2014 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the direction of the International Space Station (ISS).

This experiment called PSS ( Photochemistry on the Space Station ) mobilize no fewer than 12 laboratories around the world (USA, Germany, Netherlands, Italy) including 7 in France.

The technology of the central ETM

The ocean receives annually from the Sun an amount of energy equivalent to more than a thousand times the global primary energy demand. This energy is contained in the form of heat in the surface water layer. The ETM method is to rotate a turbine due to the difference in temperature between the deeper layers of the ocean invariably to 4 or 5 ° C and the surface.

The technology of the central ETM by sciencesetavenir

The technique is obviously more efficient in the tropics where the ocean reaches 28 ° C at the surface. The ETM therefore salivate because it generates large intermittently without power could provide energy independence tropical islands. Ifremer had also developed pilot experiences in Tahiti in the 80s.

ICONOCLASTIC. NEMO is not the first OTEC plant because it is an invention from afar. The idea of taking a fraction of the cool depths date there 80 years with the work of French Georges Claude. This iconoclastic engineer since 1930 proves that the exploitation of differences in temperature of the ocean there is vast deposit.

After climbing plants in Cuba and Brazil, Georges Claude does not meet the expected success and turns to gas liquefaction by founding a small company, Air Liquide . Nearly a century later, DCNS took over and dream of equipping many of the tropical islands, market also eyeing the Japanese and Hawaiian competitors. DCNS has set up with the University of Reunion prototype plant land on the campus of Saint-Pierre-de-la Reunion. This driver has validated the technology heat exchangers that will be applied in industrial size in Martinique.

Using the difference in temperature between the surface and deep layers

NEMO is a floating center operator thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Built by DCNS (former head of shipbuilding in Cherbourg) and the project developer Akuo Energy , the power plant of 16 MW will provide the needs of 35,000 homes. It will be located seven kilometers off the city of Bellefontaine on the east coast of the island and will be operational in 2018 With a little help from Europe will help financially cover the first five years of operation.

This type describes people born with genetic factors stocky bodied. http://www.citizenside.com/en/reporter-photo-video/ivich99.html It already looks berotor since childhood, and when growing up, his body already looks like an athlete or athletic training in rare cases.

According to Grace Judio Kahl, a doctor of physiology, there are several factors that influence a person's weight remains low even after many meals. https://www.flickr.com/people/126421825@N05/ The first is psychological factors, such as being in a state of fatigue or high stress, this can make a person refuses to eat nutritious food.

Next is the health factor a person's body. People who have chronic illnesses and infections, each diasupnya calories will not make muscle, but will be diverted to energy use for the immune system to fight the disease.

Not only that, the physiological disturbances that occur too quickly to make your metabolism, production of digestive enzymes, https://id.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140602201106AA1ZPz2 and low ability of the intestine to absorb the essence of food can also have a role to make a permanent body lean despite eating a lot number.

Stay Thin While Already Eat More? Perhaps the reason for this ..

ectomorf and eat a lot of regular eating patterns do not always have the same influence on the shape of the body of each person. https://id.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140602201106AA1ZPz2 There are people who eat a lot, but it still belongs to thin, and instead there are people who eat a normal frequency but the body tends to be more obese. How this can happen, and what factors influence that?

Doctor dietitian Phaidon L Toruan explained that in addition to eating habits, genetic factors also have an important role in determining a person's body shape. https://www.flickr.com/people/126421825@N05/ As for genetic traits that influence a person's body shape was divided into three, namely ectomorf, Endomorph, and mesomorp.

Ectomorf
This type represents a person who is born with genetic factors skinny. Ranging from small to adulthood, she remains thin. As adults, the body tends to lean despite eating a lot of falls. http://www.citizenside.com/en/reporter-photo-video/ivich99.html People who eat a lot but did not visit the obese include type ectomorf possible. Those who find these people need more caloric intake with a balanced diet. Moreover, they need to focus on high protein intake in order to build muscle more easily.

Endomorph
This type describes people born with genetic factors obese. From a young age they tend to have body fat despite eating pattern is relatively the same with friends of the same age. As adults, the easier it is for fat.

Sun explains that probiotics may have a good effect

However, the researchers noted that the consumption of probiotics is less than 109 CFU (colony-forming units - or a dose probiotic bacteria levels) http://www.citizenside.com/en/reporter-photo-video/ivich99.html or consumption of less than 8 weeks did not improve blood pressure.

"A small collection of our study suggest regular consumption of probiotics can be part of a healthy lifestyle to help reduce high blood pressure, as well as maintaining healthy blood pressure levels," said Sun

Sun explains that probiotics may have a good effect on blood pressure by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing blood sugar levels and insulin resistance, https://www.flickr.com/people/126421825@N05/ as well as help regulate hormone systems that manage fluid balance and blood pressure.

Although these findings suggest that consumption of probiotics can lower blood pressure, but Sun said that doctors should not recommend probiotics to control the patient's blood pressure to further research to confirm these benefits.

This is not the only study that shows the benefits of probiotics. Last year, a study by researchers from the University of California-Los Angeles, https://id.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140602201106AA1ZPz2 showed that probiotics may be beneficial for brain function, while other studies found that probiotics can also be effective against psoriasis and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Griffith Health Institute and the School of Medicine

Now, research led by Jing Sun, PhD, of the Griffith Health Institute and the School of Medicine at Griffith University in Australia, showed that consuming probiotics from food sources and dietary supplements can improve blood pressure. https://id.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140602201106AA1ZPz2 Probiotics 'may help reduce high blood pressure and maintain healthy blood pressure'.

To reach their findings, Sun and his team analyzed nine studies that assess the quality of probiotic consumption of 543 adults who have normal or high blood pressure. The researchers found that on average, participants who consume probiotics every day for 8 weeks or more had a 3.5 mm Hg https://www.flickr.com/people/126421825@N05/ lower systolic blood pressure (the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) and 2:38 mm Hg lower diastolic blood pressure (the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats), compared with those who did not consume probiotics.

Among all participants, the most powerful effects is perceived by participants with high blood pressure (130/85 mm Hg or more). http://www.citizenside.com/en/reporter-photo-video/ivich99.html Greater benefits found from the consumption of probiotic products that contain some types of bacteria.

yogurt people probably already know that eating foods probiotics (good bacteria) are very beneficial for intestinal health. https://id.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140602201106AA1ZPz2 It seems that the list of benefits of probiotic foods is increasing, due to new research published in the journal Hypertension showed that taking probiotics can also help lower blood pressure.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that occur naturally in the gut. https://www.flickr.com/people/126421825@N05/ These microorganisms are also present in some foods, such as yogurt, some fermented vegetables, and cheese.

Probiotics Can Maintain Blood Pressure

Previous studies have shown that probiotics are very good for our health by helping digestion, bowel function, and protect against harmful bacteria. http://www.citizenside.com/en/reporter-photo-video/ivich99.html Earlier this year, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics shows that the use of probiotics in infants may also reduce the risk of digestive disorders. Such evidence makes probiotics are added in certain foods even available in supplement form.
