Researches Says Antarctic rift: speeding ice thaw

According to researchers, a rift in the Antarctic rock as deep as the Grand Canyon is increasing ice melt from the continent. The panel writes in Nature journal that the gorge is bringing more warm sea water to the ice sheet, speeding up melt. The rift lies under the Ferrigno Ice Stream on a stretch of coast so far-off that it has only been visited once formerly.

A UK team establishes the Ferrigno rift using ice-penetrating radar, and showed it to be on 1.5km deep. The team towed ice-penetrating radar kit at the rear a snowmobile, traversing an overall of about 2,500km. A total melt of either piece would raise sea levels internationally by some metres.The scientists propose that throughout Ice Ages, when sea levels were much lower than at present, the rift would have channelled a major ice stream from side to side.

First spiral galaxy stuns astronomers

Astronomers have dappled the first known spiral galaxy, dating to just three billion years after the Big Bang. They first speckled BX442 as the one and only spiral-looking object in a study of 300 galaxies carried out by the Hubble space telescope, when they were shocked to see what looked to be a spiral galaxy. Those observations confirmed a hint apparent in the Hubble data: that BX442 was being orbited by a smaller dwarf galaxy at its edges.

To get a closer look at BX442, the team went on to use the OH-Suppressing Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph at the Keck observatory in Hawaii which can take away the effect of all the water that lies between the Earth and galaxies at such astronomical distances. The observations confirmed a hint apparent in the Hubble data: that BX442 was being orbited by a lesser dwarf galaxy at its edges.

Study Says Iceberg breaks off from Greenland's Petermann Glacier

According to scientists The Petermann Glacier in northern Greenland has calved an iceberg twice the size of Manhattan. NASA satellite images show the island breaking off a tongue of ice that extends at the end of the glacier. Glaciers do calve icebergs obviously, other than the level of the changes to the Petermann Glacier in current years has taken many experts by shock.

 Some other observers have gone further. "It's dramatic. It's disturbing, University of Delaware's Andreas Muenchow told the Associated Press. In 2010 an ice island measuring 250 square km broke off the same glacier. According to the Canadian Ice Service Icebergs from the Petermann Glacier sometimes get to the coast off Newfoundland in Canada, posturing a danger to shipping and navigation. 

US Approves Truvada: HIV-prevention medicine

Truvada, the HIV prevention drug approved by US health regulators. The opinion of the Food and Drug Administration is that Truvada can be used by persons at high risk of disease and anyone who may hold in sexual activity with HIV-infected partners. There have been concerns the circulation of such a drug could engender a false sense of security. Present have also been worries that a drug-resistant strain of HIV could expand.

Studies since 2010 showed that Truvada reduced the risk of HIV in healthy gay men and among HIV-negative heterosexual partners of HIV-positive people by between 44% and 73%. A number of health workers and groups active in the HIV society opposed a green light for the once-daily pill. Truvada, made by California-based Gilead Sciences, is previously backed by the FDA to be in use with existing anti-retroviral drugs for people who contain HIV.

Face book "likes"Fake users hurts

According to a study, companies are wasting large sums of money on adverts to gain likes from Face book members who have no real interest in their products. The opinion of the security expert has said some of the profiles appeared to be fakes run by computer programs to spread spam. The vast majority of Face book’s revenues come from advertising and its performance will be scrutinized when it releases its financial results on 26 July - the first such report since its flotation.

Likes are highly valued by many leading brands marketing departments. Graham Cluley of the security firm Sophos said that Spammers and malware authors can mass-produce false Face book profiles to help them extend dangerous links and spam, and trick people into befriending them. All of these companies have access to Face book’s analytics which allow them to see the identities of people who have liked their pages, yet this has not been flagged as an issue.

Smartphone sales: Samsung profits surge 79% boosted

According to Samsung Electronics, it expects its profits to surge 79% in the second quarter as sales of its smart phones continue to grow. Samsung overtook Nokia as the world's largest maker of mobile phones earlier this year. Samsung launched the Galaxy S III, the latest version of its Galaxy range of smart phones, in May this year, and the gadget has been well received in the market. The opinion of Park Jong-Min a fund manager with ING Investment Management is that we expect a alteration in Samsung's earnings in the fourth quarter, as the launch of the new iPhone will lead to a decline in Samsung's profit in the high-end Smartphone business.

 

 

Earlier this month, a court banned sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus Smartphone and also its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet PC in the US, until it decides on the continuing patent case between the two firms. But Analysts said the biggest fear for Samsung is that the dispute may become bigger and impact other Samsung products, including the Galaxy S III.

3D-PRINTED SUGAR SET-UP TO HELP OUT GROW SIMULATED LIVER

Researchers have motivated a step closer to creating an artificial liver, following a US team fashioned a template for blood vessels to grow into, using sugar. The technology, in which a 3D printer uses sugar as its construction material, could one day be used for transplants. Sugar is a very nice material that can be dissolved away in the presence of living tissue very responsive to organic tissue.

According to Dr Miller's colleague Prof Sangeeta Bhatia, from MIT, the technique was comparable to creating the shape of a vase in wax, neighboring it with molten metal and then melting the wax away. Sugar is a very good material that can be dissolved away in the presence of living tissue very forthcoming to organic tissue. The body's cardiovascular system blood vessels resolve this problem with natural cells and tissues.

GOOGLE: NEXUS TABLET MADE BY ASUS AND PROJECT GLASS PRE-ORDERS

Google has unveiled the Nexus 7 - its first own-brand tablet. The device is ready by the Taiwanese industry Asus rather than the firm's own Motorola hardware unit. It runs the novel Jelly Bean version of Android. An 8GB version will be sold for $199 from mid-July plunging it directly against Amazon's Kindle Fire. The firm also showed off its internet-connected enlarged reality glasses revealing the first models would ship in 2013.

The Google Play site said the 8GB model would sell for £159 in the UK, and the 16GB version for £199. Tech players recognize that given the increasing importance of tablet campaign, they can no longer risk selling their software and services solely through other people's products. The second, to overlay information onto what they are seeing in front of them such as how fast they are stirring or the best way to get to one more place. The firm described the US-manufactured item as the "world's first ever social streaming device.

RESEARCHES REVEALS TWISTED LIGHT CARRIES 2.5 TERABITS OF DATA PER SECOND

Researchers have clocked light beams made of warped waves carrying 2.5 terabits of information the capability of more than 66 DVDs per second. The method relies on manipulating what is known as the orbital angular momentum of the waves. Angular momentum is a greasy thought while applied to light, but an analogy closer to home is the Earth itself. Current work suggests that the deception could greatly increase the data-carrying ability in Wi-Fi and optical fibers.

Orbital angular momentum has only recently come to the fore as a promising means to achieve the similar trick. Most recently in Italy Bo Thide from Swedish Institute of Space Physics and a team of colleagues established the principle via sending beams made up of two dissimilar OAM states crosswise a canal in Venice, an experiment they described in the New Journal of Physics. According to Alan Willner a number of robust tools would be wanted to manipulate OAM states and to generate and deliver beams made up of quite a few of them.

LEBRON JAMES: GREAT CHAMPIONSHIP AS HEAT WIN NBA FINALS

These used to be the moments that suffocated LeBron James. End of a game, the world watching, 

everybody expecting greatness. A TV camera would catch James sitting on the bench, gnawing on his fingernails throughout a rest. He'd take the court, and the ball and the match would find their way into his large hands. The pressure, the accountability to live up to his enormous faculty, was too much for him to shoulder.

No longer is James haunted by his demons. He embraces these moments nowadays, and as the final seconds ticked off the clock late Thursday, James was lastly free of the burden he had carried for so long. Finally, the world could call him a champion. 

James always required a challenge to validate his greatness. It most likely won't change everyone's perception of him, but it will help, as will the way in which James has conceded himself this season. He's displayed a level of humility and openness he'd infrequently shown.
