Electricity from nano particles

scientists have discovered a novel way to generate electricity from heat by trapping organic molecules between metal nano particles,report live science.currently about 90% of the world's electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels,which creates heat, often in the form of steam.the stem spins a turbine that drives a generator to produce electricity.but this method is indirect,and in the process,plenty of heat is wasted and its energy goes uncaptured. generating one watt of power requires about 3 watts of heat input and involves dumping into the environment the equivalent of about 2 watt of power in the form of heat. for the last 50 years ,scientists have been exploring ways to use this wasted heat.it even a fraction of the lost heat can be converted into electricity in a cost effective manner,the lead author said ,Mr. Arun Mujamdar of the university of California.

what you mean by rape? define other than this?

act of sexual intercourse with a woman by a man without her consent, either through force or the threatof force or through fraud. By the late 20th century, there was a tendency to enlarge the definition of rape to cover any act of sexual penetration against the will of the victim; this definition includes forcible sodomy, the victim of which may be another man or a child. Most jurisdictions do not treat as rape an act of sexual intercourse by a husband with his wife against her will.Rape is considered to be a serious crime and is treated as a felony in most countries with common-law systems. But in many rape trials the issue becomes whether or not the victim consented to sexual intercourse. The determination of consent can lead to distressing cross-examinations of rape victims in court, and, in light of this probability, many rape victims fail to report the crime to police or refuse to press charges against their assailant. Even when brought to trial, those charged with the crime have a higher-than-average rate of acquittal, mainly because of the difficulty in proving a crime for which there usually exist no other witnesses besides those involved in it. But where guilt is established, rape is usuallytreated as a serious crime, and most persons convicted of it receive sentences of imprisonment.obligationtobritanicaencyclopaedia

CAN AN ANIMAL FALL IN LOVE?

Can animals fall in love? It is a question that sounds faintly ridiculous but, strange as it sounds, it is one that scientists are starting to take seriously. In the past few decades, a flood of discoveries has forced us to blur the boundary that exists between man and beast.
A century ago, we thought animals were essentially dumb and acted purely on instinct They had no language, could not make tools, and sex was purely for reproduction. We now know that many species can have sophisticated social lives, express emotions such as fear, hatred and even jealousy, and that many may have linguistic abilities.
It seems there is a new discovery every month elevating a particular species onto a new intellectual and emotional plane. It was revealed couple of years ago that sheep, whose very name was a byword for stupidity, could recognise human faces and form strong attachments to their keepers.
And it was revealed recently that elephants can recognise themselves in the mirror. Thought by scientists to be the ultimate test of ‘sentience’, the mirror test has been passed by most apes, the dolphin and, some claim, the pigeon.
Now a team of scientists have found that somewhale species have structures in their brains which indicate that they may be able to fall in love.
Patrick Hof and Van Der Gucht of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York have found specialised neurons, called spindle cells, in the brains of humpback, fin, killer and sperm whales.
Spindle cells, found in the brain, were thought to be the preserve of humans and the other great apes — the chimps, the bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans. They were touted as the brain cells that set ‘higher’ primates apart from all other animals - specialised cells that are linked to emotion, speech, social skills empathy and ‘gut’ intuition.
“Whales communicate through huge song repertoires, recognise their own songs and make up new ones. They also form coalitions to plan hunting strategies, and have evolved social networks similar to those of apes and humans,” Dr Hof told New Scientist magazine.
In fact, whales were found to have three times as many of these cells, proportionately, as humans.
It’s quite a big step from finding a certain cell in a whale’s brain and deciding that the animal is capable of emotions. But there is evidence that the inner life of whales and dolphins are far more colourful and vivid than we thought.
People have always known dolphins are bright.Tales go back to antiquity of the mammals helping shipwrecked sailors, guiding drowning men back to land and so on. But just how intelligent they are has been a matter of fierce debate.
And while Dolphins have passed the ‘mirror test’, it’s only the difficulties faced by scientists wishing to study the behaviour a 60-foot-long behemoth in the labthat have prevented us from learning more about the workings of whales’ brains.
While chimpanzees can be easily studied both in the wild and in the lab, whales pose huge problems for animal researchers. Nevertheless, what we do know suggests that these animals may have an ‘inner life’ perhaps as complex as ours.
in 1990, a pair of male killer whales were found retracing the last movements of their dead mother, swinming hundreds of miles together for days.
Does this mean that whales grieve? That a species other than our own can show love to one another? We must always be on our guard when attributing human emotions and sentiments to animals. For we humans have a terrible habit of confusing sentimentalism with scientific fact.
In the film March Of The Penguins, not only were young audiences invited to boo and hiss the seal when it made a meal of the mummy penguin (what was the seal supposed to do, order pizza?), but we were invited to believe the pair bonding seen in adult emperor penguins was due to ‘love’.
Trouble is, it turns out penguins aren’t quite so ‘in love’ as the film would have had us believe. Far from being monogamous, emperor penguins have sex with up to 20 partners in a lifetime. Same-sex couplings have been observed in captivity too!
Emperor penguins are certainly impressive animals, and their determination and resourcefulness to breed in such an extreme environment is awe inspiring and worthy of admiration. But are they capable of love? Probably not.
Similarly, we imagine that the lifetime pair- bonds of species like the albatross are somehow evidence of romance, when it’s far more likely the rarity of these animals and difficulty of finding mates make monogamy an evolutionary advantage.
The truth is that we cannot know what it is like to be one of these animals and, sadly, they cannot tell us. But there is no doubt that the more we learn about animal behaviour — and about the structure of their brains — the more we are forced to conclude that the things we have in common, certainly with the more intelligent mammals, are greater than our differences.
Among our closest relatives, behaviour once thought to be the preserve of humans is now known to be commonplace. The bonobo engages in recreational sex, including lesbian coupling that is absolutely nothing to do with reproduction.
This means that we may have to think again how we treat these animals. If whales. for one, have language, form strong emotional attachments and are completely conscious of the1r own existence, this makes the case for hunting them for food completely untenable.
The Romans considered the elephant to be the noblest of beasts, suffused with honour , intelligence and capable of true love-both for its fellows and its human masters. For centuries scientists have dismissed such notions about animal as childish and ill-informed sentiment. Now, it seems science may not be so sure! daily mail collected from mumbai mirror

water in mars

A spacecraft orbiting Mars hasscanned huge deposits of ice atA .Lits south pole so plentiful theywould blanket the planet in 36 feetof water if they were liquid,scientists said on Thursday.The scientists used the joint NASA-Italian Space Agency radar instrument on the European Space Agency (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft to gauge the thickness and volume of ice deposits at the Martian south pole.The deposits, up to 2.3 miles thick, are under a polar cap of white frozen carbon dioxide and water — and appear to be composed of at least 90 per cent frozen water, with dust mixed in, according to findings published in the journal Science.Scientists have known that water exists in frozen form at the Martian poles, but this research produced the most accurate measurements of just how much there is.They are eager to learn about the history of water on Mars because water is fundamental to the question of whether the planet hasever harboured microbial, or some other life. Liquid water is a necessity for life as we know it.Characteristics like channels on the Martian surface strongly suggest the planet was once very wet; a contrast to its present arid, dusty condition.Jeffrey Plaut of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, who led the study, said the same techniques are being used to examine similar ice deposits at the Martian north pole.Radar observations made in late 2005 and early 2006 provided the data on the south pole, and similarobservations were taken of the north pole in the past several months, Plaut said.Plaut, part of an international team of two dozen scientists, said a preliminary look at this dataindicated the ice deposits in at the north pole are comparable to those at the south pole.SEARCH FOR LIFE“Life as we know it requires waterand, in fact, at least transient liquid water for cells to survive and reproduce. So if we are expecting to find life on Mars we need to go to a location where water is available,” Plaut said.“So the polar regions are naturally a target because we certainly know that there’s plenty of H20 there.”Some of the new information even hints at the possible existence of a thin layer of liquid water at the base of the deposits.But while images taken byNASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft made public in December suggested the presence of a small amount of liquid water on the surface, researchers are baffled about the fate of most of the water. The polar deposits contain most of the known water on Mars.Plaut said the amount of water in the Martian past may have been the equivalent of a global layer hundreds of metres deep, while the polar deposits represent a layer of perhaps tens of metres.“We have this continuing question facing us in studies of Mars, which is: Where did all the water go?” Plaut said.“Even if you took the water in these two (polar) ice caps and added it all up, it’s still not nearly enough to do all of the work that we’ve seen that the water has done across the surface of Mars in its history.”Plaut said it appears perhaps 10 per cent of the water that once existed on Mars is now trapped in these polar deposits. Other water may exist below the planet’s surface or perhaps some was lost into space through the atmosphere, Plaut said.REUTERSWATER ON MARSScientists have found large deposits of ice on the south pole of Mars; enough to blanket the entire planet in water if it was in liquid form...This map shows the ice-rich south pole of Mars that was probed by the MARSIS radar equipment on the ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter. The thickness of the ice was determined by measuring the time delay between radar echoes from the surface and those from the “bed” of the deposits The radar data indicates that the deposit is more than 3.7 kilometres thick in places, and that the material consists of nearly pure water ice with only a small component of dust

Ammerican's space mission play

Are you remembered, the viking space probes of 1976-77 were looking for water and life on red plannet Mars. the result was there is no water on the plannet.Now the latest Nasa mars study is revealing that there is a possibilty of water on the red plannet. new photographs of mars showed geologic changes that suggest water occasionally flows there-the most tantalising sign that mars is hospitable to life in the 70's the viking mission found no signs of life. but it was searching for earth like life,in which salt water is the internal liquid of living cells,given the cold dry conditions of mars that life could have evolved on Mars with the key internal fluid consisting of a mix of water and Hydrogen peroxide.The viking experiments of the 70's wouldn't have noticed alien hydrogen peroxide based life and in fact would have killed it by drowning and overheating the mocrobes.a new Nasa mars mission Phoenix is set for launch this summer, and one scientist involved said he is eager to test the new theory about life on mars. collected from timesof india

Shenduruny Wildlife SanctuaryRemember the last time you had a really wild time This month, we invite you for another bash in a tropical semi-evergreen forest! For company, youll have some die-hard party animals - elephants, tigers, leopards, bisons, sambar, wild boar, lion-tailed macaques, langurs, deer - and most of the other regular inhabitants of a wild, West Coast tropical evergreen forest.The Shenduruny forest - declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1984 gets its name from an endemic species of tree called Chenkuruny (Gluta travancoria).

concept of Rebirth

Is there any scientific proof to confirm the
Reincarnation holds the notion that some essential part of a living being can survive death in some form,with its interity partly or wholly retained, to be reborn in a new body. this is often referred to as the spirit or soul in such beliefs a new personality is developed during each life,based on past integrated experience and new acquired experiences,but some part of the being remains constantly present through successive lives.many persons have claimed to record memories of past lives.Dr. Ian stevenson has researched the subject extensively but it hasnot been proven scientifically.collected from times of india,harsh chester.

costliest divorce in history

London: Five months after denying Incorrect and hurtful” reports of an insminent spilt, Russia’s richest man, billionaire Roman Abrainovich, has confirmed his 16-year marriage to wife Irma is over.In what may be one of the most costly divorces in history the pair issued a statement saying Abramovich’s corporate interests—which include Britain’s Chelsea Football Club—would not however be affected.
“Mr and Mrs Abramovich have divorced in Russia on a consensual basis and have agreed terms in respect of arrangements for their (five) children and a fmancial settlement,” the statement said, without giving any details. The divorce follows newspaper reports that Abramovich has been seen with a young Russian model, Dana Zhukova.British newspapers, many of which ran the story on their front pages, said Irina Abramovich could get as much as half of her husband’s estimated $18.7 billion fortune and said it was the biggest divorce settlement in the world.Experts on divorce law said a 50/50 split of wealth accrued during the marriage would be normal procedure inRussia. “Russian divorce law is pretty straightforward. You must equally split all property and assets
which have been amassed since you have been married,” said a lawyer at a major Western legal firm in MoscowAbramovich, an orphan, split from his first wife, Olga, in 1990 and married Irma in 1991. The 40-year-old, who built up his fortune mostly from oil and aluminum businesses during the chaos that followed the fall of the Soviet Union, has become the poster boy for Russia’s oligarchs, known for savvy business deals and sumptuous living.

ARE SOME PEOPLE BORN BAD?

A t the age of 84, /4 America’s grand A. .k man of letters Norman Mailer has lost nothing of his appetite for controversy. His latest novel, The Castle In The Forest, tackles the childhood of Adolf Hitler.The book tells how two-year-old Adolf watched his father whip a dog with “a look of remarkable intensity for one so small”. And how, as a six-year-old, he went into the woods by himself “to work on the power of Adolf Hitler his voice. He would roarat the trees until his throat was sore”.Perhaps the most chilling passage is when Adolf causes the death of his younger brother, Edmund, by deliberately infecting him with measles by kissing him. But above all, the novel poses a central question:“When did evil enter Hitler’s soul?”And it provides an unequivocal answer: at the moment of conception.This, of course, is a dotty idea. For a start, the use of the word evil—which is associated with the occult and the Devil—is pure laziness because evil implies conduct that is so bad we can never explain it.But more importantly, Mailer’s novel does raise the issue of whether Hitler was predisposed at birth to be a genocidal tyrant. Or to put it another way, whether people can be born bad—whether it is in-evitable that some individuals will turn out to be murderers or rapists or bullies or thieves and there is nothing that can be done about it.Coincidentally, a so- called scientific study from the University of Virginia this week reached the conclusion that children may be “born to be bad”.But I believe this conclusion to be completely misguided. And I come to this conclusion having spent a lifetime studying truly bad people—I wrote the biography of the north London mass murderer Dennis Nilsen, for example, and came to know him well.Virginia’s experts in human genetics would have us believe that character defects such as criminal behaviour, the desire to bully others and the necessity to tell lies despite all evidence that one has been rumbled are tied up in our DNA.They have little or nothing to do withinfluences that may bombard us in our infancy. Thus, there is little virtue in trying to be a good child, because the programming of your personality has decided in advance that you can’t win.Forget about the soul, It is all to do with the ingredients that were thrown in by your parents, and by theirs, and soon ad infinitum.The result is a soup which cannot be unmixed.

IS SEX BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN LOVE

Or is casual sex cooler? Read on to decide between romp and romance
CASUAL SEX
The term ‘casual sex implies there’s no commitment to the other person. Although this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no sense of responsibility or care, in a casual encounter you’re more likely to focus on the here and now. You can enjoy the moment without much thought about what your partner thinks of you or what you think of them. Without the emotional complications of a relationship, you’re free to concentrate on physical satisfaction.SeK with a stranger—for many people, unfamiliarity is the key to casual sex. They find the mystery exciting and if there’s no chance of meeting again, inhibitions can be cast aside. It offers the chance to take on a new identity and act out a secret fantasy with little fear of rejection or shame.Experimental risks —The lure of casual sex lies in the fear of the unknown. Trying new things, positions and personas, there is a sense of being naughty, of tasting the forbidden fruit. Sometimes, people even try out different places (public and private) to add to the appeal and satisfaction of casual sex.
WHY IT S FUN
Psychological reasons some people pick up messages during childhood that casual sex is wrong (and therefore more exciting). Others have been. leftwith a fear of intimacy bytliir experiences: i.e. a broken heart or a shamelessly carefree libido.Physical reasons — when we take risks and feel fear, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. Breathing becomes faster, blood pressure rises and adrenalin is released. Our body enters a state of high alert. If you add sexual messages at this point, the body will respond faster.
MAKING LOVE WHENIN LOVE
Italian scientists have discovered that the biochemical state offalling in love is similar to obsessive compulsive disorder. Theyearning of couples to be together and learn about each other inintimate detail is overwhelming. They grab every opportunity to show affection and get as close as possible to one another.During this period sex can be very exciting. There’s still some of the mystery of casual sex and also some risk. The difference is that sex is more mutual when we’ve fallen in love. It’s about givirig and sharing ourselves physically and emotionally. As well as sexual satisfaction, we can expect to feel emotionaifulfilment. Sex becomes the ultimate act of intimacy.
SEX N A LONGTERMRELATIONSHIP
Those Italian scientists say thebrain returns to normal after six to 18 months. It seems it’s not physically possible to stay in that manic state of obsession with a partner for much longer ban that. It’s then that we either fall out of love or the relationship matures.When a relationship matures, sex matures. You now have the advantage of knowing each other well. Fear of rejection is replaced with trust and security. This allows you to move Into a stage of experimentation and mutual growth. You can take the time to fine-tune your skills as a lover.
SO WHAT’S SETTER?
Sex can be exciting whether or not you’re in love, and at any stage of a relationship. Sex in a loving relationship offers an opportunity to grow together and become great lovers. It may not be possible to recapture the mystery of casual sex but there’s a much higher chance of all-round fulfilment.
CASUAL TO FOREVER
Casual sex: risk, mystery, urgency and focus on the physical. Early love: mutual feelings, yearning, giving, affection and focus on physical satisfaction and emotional fulfilment.Long-term relationship: knowledge, trust, skill, experimentation and focus on deepening physical and emotional satisfaction.

Love's not in the air

By Harshikaa Udasi
you win some. You lose some,” these words of Delna Pastakia, 23, managementstudent and salsa instructor, best sum up the status report on how women handle relationships. Whether she is 21 or 29, the new age woman has definitely found her voice and expresses herself vociferously. At the same time, it is surprising to see that she is also not willing to hurt her family (much to the relief of traditionalists who would rather hear a coy yes than a brash no).

Relationships do matter for the girls, but for those who expect a domesticated conformist at the other end, watch out! The new age girl is just sharpening her talons. There are enough ifs and buts involved in every statement, an argument where there was none before and a problem for every traditional solution. They think aloud. They assert their opinions. And they do as they will. At least that is the pattern most of the times.
Delna’s love for dance began when she was 16, but her parents were not too welcoming of her choice. “Obviously they were unsure of my plans. Moreover, I was an active Rotaractor which was a drain on their finances. So I decided to fund my dance education,” she says. “My parents were clueless about this.” For Delna, that meanttakingup part-time assignments that kept her out late. But she worked her way up, and four years later she became a professional salsa instructor.
When her parents found out, it came as a shocker to them. “They always thought I was far too independent and a rebel to an extent, but that their daughter had been secretly funding her dance classes on her own was a shock,” says Delna, Now, alongwith her management lessons, she is pursuing her passion and hopes to make a career of it.
Never exposed to troubles of gender discrimination at home, Delna got a rude shock after she chose marketing as her specialisation. “In my summer job with an FMCG company, I was practically demotivated daily. The sales guys would tell me that there was no need for me to get into grassroots research and interact with the retailers and distributors. Eventually, I realised it was a difficult image to break,” she adds.
Following your heart is not always an easy option for women; they may have to fight many odds at home. Greha Motaliya, 21, is doing her post-graduation in journalism, but she knows that her family will support her only till she completes her studies. “They want me to have a job with flexi-timings and journalism hardly has anything of that sort. I have no choice except to look for something that suits them,” she says. Just as she may hate the fact that parents follow different rule-books for boys and girls, she admits that her rebellion doesn’t go too far.
For some, the tug-of-war with relatives could go on for ever. Four years ago, when Shraddha Kamdar, 29, decided to take up journalism, she was single and had lost her mother. At a young age, Shraddha was put in charge of the household and she became, so to say, the lady of the house. That’s when she decided to voice her opinion. “I wanted to do what I thought would be good for me. I decided to pay for my education and move ahead. Elders of the family did not approve of my decision, and I had to snatch my freedom,” she says.

Action video games good for eyes?

Singapore: Video game addicts, rejoice: US researchers have found that playing is actually good for your eyes, and despite all those dire warnings from your parents, it won’t make you blind.A study by the University of Rochester showed that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their vision by about 20%. “Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information,” Daphne Baveller, professor of brain and cognitive sciences, said in the study published on the university’s web site, wwwrochesteredu, on Tuesday“These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it. That learning carries over into other activities and possibly everyday life.”Bavelier, along with a graduate student, tested a number of college students who had played very few, if any, video games in the last yearTest subjects were given an eye test similar tQ the one used at regular eye clinics and then divided into two groups — one played shoot-em-up action games for an hour a day while the control group played a less visually complex game.Their vision was tested after the study, with those who played the action game scoring better in the eye test.The researchers said their fmdings could help patients with several types of visual defects.Last week, West Virginia, which has the worst childhood obesity problem in the US, stepped up plans to use ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ to battle the bulge in its schools.The state said on Wednes- day that research suggestedthat the video game helped put a halt to weight gain.

CAN AN ANIMAL FALL IN LOVE?

Can animals fall in love? It is a question that sounds faintly ridiculous but, strange as it sounds, it is one that scientists are starting to take seriously. In the past few decades, a flood of discoveries has forced us to blur the boundary that exists between man and beast.

A century ago, we thought animals were essentially dumb and acted purely on instinct They had no language, could not make tools, and sex was purely for reproduction. We now know that many species can have sophisticated social lives, express emotions such as fear, hatred and even jealousy, and that many may have linguistic abilities.

It seems there is a new discovery every month elevating a particular species onto a new intellectual and emotional plane. It was revealed couple of years ago that sheep, whose very name was a byword for stupidity, could recognise human faces and form strong attachments to their keepers.

And it was revealed recently that elephants can recognise themselves in the mirror. Thought by scientists to be the ultimate test of ‘sentience’, the mirror test has been passed by most apes, the dolphin and, some claim, the pigeon.

Now a team of scientists have found that somewhale species have structures in their brains which indicate that they may be able to fall in love.

Patrick Hof and Van Der Gucht of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York have found specialised neurons, called spindle cells, in the brains of humpback, fin, killer and sperm whales.

Spindle cells, found in the brain, were thought to be the preserve of humans and the other great apes — the chimps, the bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans. They were touted as the brain cells that set ‘higher’ primates apart from all other animals - specialised cells that are linked to emotion, speech, social skills empathy and ‘gut’ intuition.

“Whales communicate through huge song repertoires, recognise their own songs and make up new ones. They also form coalitions to plan hunting strategies, and have evolved social networks similar to those of apes and humans,” Dr Hof told New Scientist magazine.

In fact, whales were found to have three times as many of these cells, proportionately, as humans.

It’s quite a big step from finding a certain cell in a whale’s brain and deciding that the animal is capable of emotions. But there is evidence that the inner life of whales and dolphins are far more colourful and vivid than we thought.

People have always known dolphins are bright.Tales go back to antiquity of the mammals helping shipwrecked sailors, guiding drowning men back to land and so on. But just how intelligent they are has been a matter of fierce debate.

And while Dolphins have passed the ‘mirror test’, it’s only the difficulties faced by scientists wishing to study the behaviour a 60-foot-long behemoth in the labthat have prevented us from learning more about the workings of whales’ brains.

While chimpanzees can be easily studied both in the wild and in the lab, whales pose huge problems for animal researchers. Nevertheless, what we do know suggests that these animals may have an ‘inner life’ perhaps as complex as ours.

in 1990, a pair of male killer whales were found retracing the last movements of their dead mother, swinming hundreds of miles together for days.

Does this mean that whales grieve? That a species other than our own can show love to one another? We must always be on our guard when attributing human emotions and sentiments to animals. For we humans have a terrible habit of confusing sentimentalism with scientific fact.

In the film March Of The Penguins, not only were young audiences invited to boo and hiss the seal when it made a meal of the mummy penguin (what was the seal supposed to do, order pizza?), but we were invited to believe the pair bonding seen in adult emperor penguins was due to ‘love’.

Trouble is, it turns out penguins aren’t quite so ‘in love’ as the film would have had us believe. Far from being monogamous, emperor penguins have sex with up to 20 partners in a lifetime. Same-sex couplings have been observed in captivity too!

Emperor penguins are certainly impressive animals, and their determination and resourcefulness to breed in such an extreme environment is awe inspiring and worthy of admiration. But are they capable of love? Probably not.

Similarly, we imagine that the lifetime pair- bonds of species like the albatross are somehow evidence of romance, when it’s far more likely the rarity of these animals and difficulty of finding mates make monogamy an evolutionary advantage.

The truth is that we cannot know what it is like to be one of these animals and, sadly, they cannot tell us. But there is no doubt that the more we learn about animal behaviour — and about the structure of their brains — the more we are forced to conclude that the things we have in common, certainly with the more intelligent mammals, are greater than our differences.

Among our closest relatives, behaviour once thought to be the preserve of humans is now known to be commonplace. The bonobo engages in recreational sex, including lesbian coupling that is absolutely nothing to do with reproduction.

This means that we may have to think again how we treat these animals. If whales. for one, have language, form strong emotional attachments and are completely conscious of the1r own existence, this makes the case for hunting them for food completely untenable.

The Romans considered the elephant to be the noblest of beasts, suffused with honour , intelligence and capable of true love-both for its fellows and its human masters. For centuries scientists have dismissed such notions about animal as childish and ill-informed sentiment. Now, it seems science may not be so sure! daily mail collected from mumbai mirror

Electricity from nano particles

scientists have discovered a novel way to generate electricity from heat by trapping organic molecules between metal nano particles,report live science.
currently about 90% of the world's electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels,which creates heat, often in the form of steam.the stem spins a turbine that drives a generator to produce electricity.
but this method is indirect,and in the process,plenty of heat is wasted and its energy goes uncaptured. generating one watt of power requires about 3 watts of heat input and involves dumping into the environment the equivalent of about 2 watt of power in the form of heat. for the last 50 years ,scientists have been exploring ways to use this wasted heat.it even a fraction of the lost heat can be converted into electricity in a cost effective manner,the lead author said ,Mr. Arun Mujamdar of the university of California.

Moleculers are in memories

scientists have reached a step closer in solving the mystery -what are memories made up of reports live science.the leading candidate is a process called long term potentiation in which the connections between individual brain cells get stronger the more often they are used,such a during learned.but while ltp has been observed in slices of brain in the labit has been difficult to record in a living brain as learning was taking place.
Liliana minichiello and her colleagues appear to have done just that by isolating a molecule that initiates a signalling pathway for ltp in the brain of a living mouse.in the new study, the team used mice with a defective version of a receptor molecule called TrkB,found on the surface of brain cells in the hippo campus.the mice were unable to learn or initiate ltp in response to familiar stimuli,indicating TrkB is a key memory molecule.agencies

Ancient flying dinosaur glided with four wings, study

the early flying dinosaur probably spread two pairs of feathered wings-like early aviation's biplane -to glide between trees, according to a study.
with long feathers,on its hands and legs ,the small four winged micro raptor would drop from its perch, swoop back up and fly up and down in an undulating motion from tree to tree.
The bird's ancestor could potentially cover a distance of a t least 130 ft, according to the study published in the proceedings of the US national academy of science.
It seems likely that microraptor invented the biplane 125 millions years before the Wright 1903 flyer,wrote researcher sankar chaaerjee of Texas tech university.
the 2.5 ft long,tree dwelling dinosaur,which weighed nearly one kilograms,also had a long feathered tail offering additional flight and stability and controlled pitch,the study said.

What are mummies?

When you think of a mummy what comes to mind? Most of us usually picture an Egyptian mummy wrapped in bandages and buried deep inside a pyramid. While the Egyptian ones are the most famous, mummies have been found in many places throughout the world, from Greenland to China to the Andes Mountains of South America.
A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Normally when we die, bacteria and other germs eat away at the soft tissues (such as skin and muscles) leaving only the bones behind. Since bacteria need water in order to grow, mummification usually happens if the body dries out quickly after death. The body may then be so well preserved that we can even tell how the dead person may have looked in life.
Mummies are made naturally or by embalming, which is any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extreme cold, by the sun, by smoke, or using chemicals such as natron. Some bodies become mummies because there were favorable natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.
The ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.collectedfromgoogle

very interesting and investigative matters. for the first time more Americans ladies are living a husband than with one,says sociologists,according to a new york times analysis of census results
In 2005 ,51% of women said they were living without spouse ,up from 35% in 1995 and 49% in 2000.coupled with the fact that in 2005 married couples became a minority of all American house holds for the first time ,the trend could ultimately shape social and workplace polices,including the ways government and employers distribute benefits.
the factors involved
-at the end of the age spectrum
-marrying later
-living with unmarried partners for long time
at the other end women are living longer as widows and after a divorce, are more likely than men to delay remarriage.

crime investigation -brain mapping a new phenomenon

this technique is a relatively new phenomenon in india,and has an extremely high success rate.it is again performed in a controlled environment. no chemicals are used . Prof. C R Mukundan,former head of the department of mental health and neurosciences,banglore , explains how this technique works.when a person performs an act in this case , a gruesome murder-the event is recorded in the brain is something called experential knowledge. by connecting electrodes to the head, brain signature mapping records the electrical activity and oscillations in the brain as a response to certain images he is shown. and can a person lie during such a procedure? unlike other process where questions are put to the subject,here no questions are asked,indeed,there is no need for verbal responses from the subject either ,so the issue of telling a lie doesnot arise.it's all do with the electrical impulses in the brain directly, and that's not something a person can control.

the ammerican's space mission play

are you remembered the viking space probes of 1976-77 were looking for water and life on red plannet Mars. the result was there is no water on the plannet.Now the latest nasa mars study is revealing that there is a possibilty of water on the red plannet. new photographs of mars showed geologic changes that suggest water occasionally flows there-the most tantalising sign that mars is hospitable to life.
in the 70's the viking mission found no signs of life. but it was searching for earth like life,in which salt water is the internal liquid of living cells.given the cold dry conditions of mars that life could have evolved on mars with the key internal fluid consisting of a mix of water and Hydrogen peroxide.
the viking experiments of the 70's wouldn't have noticed alien hydrogen peroxide based life and in fact would have killed it by drowning and overheating the mocrobes.
a new nasa mars mission Phoenix is set for launch this summer, and one scientist involved said he is eager to test the new theory about life on mars.
