Rising Sea Temperatures of Fish Mortality

A study shows that rising sea temperatures at random in some parts of the world are able to reduce the population, inhibits growth, increases stress and the risk of fish mortality. The study was based on peneilitan Australian scientists, who focused on Morwong fish species in the Tasman Sea, which lies between Australia and New Zealand.

The scientists found that fish growth Morwong in some areas has slowed down after sea temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius over the last 60 years in the Tasman Sea, one of the earth in the southern part of the level of the seawater temperature rises fast enough.

Effect of temperature changes also affect other types of fish and coral reefs, which causes a loss in fisheries sector. "Normally, cold-blooded animals respond to warm conditions with increasing growth as temperature rises,"said Ron thresher from the research agency CSIRO. "Through this research, we found evidence of slower growth and rising levels of stress in fish that live in the sea with a temperature threshold," said Ron.

Let's Celebrate Green for Earth Day Campaign

Earth Day is celebrated today throughout the world and environmentally conscious celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ed Norton also participated in the campaigns 'Billion Acts of Green Campaign', which is the theme of Earth Day 2011. More than 100 million green campaign movement has been run by people around the world. Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged to donate $ 1 million to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for tiger conservation. He also worked with WWF to launch SaveTigersNow.org .

While Ed Norton to run a marathon around New York with the Maasai tribe of Tanzania, to support the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which generate more than $ 1 million through fundraising on the site Crowdrise.com. Singer Jewel perform a charity concert for the Clearwater Project, raising funds for educating developing countries about the importance of the right to have clean water. Earth Day is a day that is celebrated to promote environmental sustainability. Earth Day was sparked by the United States senator, Gaylord Nelson, on April 22, 1970.

Found a Lot of Ice in Mars' South Pole

NASA found that the south polar region of Mars has ice that are 30 times more than previous estimates. These findings suggest that the red planet was wetter than scientists previously estimated. By taking the data through the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists found an ancient carbon dioxide trapped in ice. These results add to evidence that Mars has an atmosphere with carbon dioxide and water are slim.

"Great ice mass has reached 12,500 cubic km, equal to the contents of Lake Superior, the largest lake in North America," said NASA. "Previously we already know that the thin levels of carbon dioxide in the ice surface of mars, but this discovery also adds information that the amount of ice that was there was 30 times larger than previously thought," said Roger Phillips of Southwest Research Institute in Boulder , Colorado.

Japan Succeeded In Making The Retina

Researchers from Japan managed to make the retina of mouse embryonic stem cells. According to researchers at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, Kobe, Japan, the retina is a complex biological networks that they made.

The network developed is not merely the retina, but complete with optic cup, an organ consisting of two layers of the retina and the outer layer of pigmented cells that provide nutrients and support the retina and the cells are sensitive to light. Latter cells that transmit information to the brain.

At the time of manufacture, the embryonic stem cells in a mixture of nutrients and protein. The cells develop into retinal cells. Initially, only cells develop into a series of early retinal cells, but then slowly evolved into a complete optic cup. It occurs naturally in embryonic development.

Scientists are still unable to ascertain whether this artificial retina can transmit correct information to the brain of rats. "This is what will we studied further," said the researcher. If there is no problem, scientists will switch to the manufacture of human retinal stem cells from humans as well.

If successful in human trials, the means available to safely retina transplanted to humans. "Healing for many types of blindness," scientists explained. However, still it took several years

Special Forces Attack the Somali Pirates

Laptop from a Fighter Jet Material

What will happen to materials commonly used to make fighter jets used for a laptop? Samsung managed to make it happen. Samsung Electronics Indonesia introduced the Notebook Series 9, which claimed to use a material called Duralumin used to make fighter jets.

Duralumin material is 2 times stronger than regular aluminum. However, this material is much lighter than the material ever used for this notebook. Notebook Series 9 has a weight of 1.31 kg with a thickness of only 0.64 inches. With 13-inch screen size, no one if the notebook is in addition to light also comes with unique design and very elegant with a degree angle that is not broken.

Samsung which is known as the number one manufacturer of LCD panels in the world, also embedded in laptops that 75 percent of its components are produced by Samsung. The screen uses superkontras ratio (1300:1) who have lived 16 million colors, this does not include HD-LED Backlight technology Superbright Plus.

"In notebooks Series 9, Samsung launches three advantages offered, namely brightnes, Faster, and Longer. To brightnes, we are a leader in the production of LCD panels ensure the laptop is far more light than similar products," he said.

While faster, using a technology called FastStar, Felix said that the Series 9 comes with a 60 percent boting much faster. Well, for longer, in the portable computer is two times the battery resistance is much more durable than a laptop on the market.

"Because we have the technology capable of performing 1,000 times cyling or two times more than existing batteries. One time cyling own means, each of which was used until the battery runs out then dicash again," he said. This laptop uses an Intel Core i7 second generation. Memory and 126GB Solid State Drive as media storage. Because the level of that rivals phones to be thin MacBook Air, as well as an aerodynamic design with elegant touches.

New Mobile Chat WhatsApp Messenger

Nokia launched its latest smartphone messaging application service called WhatsApp Messenger. WhatsApp Messenger is one focus of the program Break Free. Break Free Program is a program that frees users of Nokia phones from the conventional ways of doing chat.

Chrome OS for the Tablet

Google changed the concept of cloud-based operating system, OS Chrome, which may be embedded in the tablet. This is somewhat surprising, because the OS Chrome originally destined for notebooks. "Yes we are seeking open-source operating system will work for the tablet, but we can not announce it in the near future, Chrome OS designed from scratch to work in various form factors. To see the different partners to build various types of devices based on the Chrome OS, but to release our initial target it to notebooks, "explained a spokesman from google.

This is somewhat confusing to some experts, the article Google Android Honyecomb commitment to present as a special operating system for tablets. There is some speculation mentioned, Google also may plan to adopt a hybrid approach to the tablet, allowing users to boot and switch between multiple operating systems such as Chrome and Android. There are currently no detailed information about plans for a company based in Mountain View this, except wait until the time comes.

Spam Filtering Service More Than 25 Billion

Service spam filter, Akismet, announced the latest achievement after 'capturing' spam to-25 billion. Akismet-party claims if they are detected at around 40 million spam comments per day. Figures sped away after December 2010 then they claim successfully detected 20.7 billion spam comments and pings.

In order to celebrate the achievement of it, Akismet create mini-sites that invite readers to learn of their services more accessible in akismet.com/25billion.

Akismet find some interesting facts from a total of 25 billion spam that managed their detection. They claim the spammer's busiest activity is on Fridays at 20:00 GMT. Instead, Sunday at 14:00 GMT is the time most active spammers.

Launched in 2005, seeks Akismet spam filter links from comments on blogs and trackback pings. Filtration is done by combining information about the spam that was detected on various blogs that participated, and then use it to block spam at a later date.

Cloud-Based Music Applications From Google

Not wanting to lose from the Amazon, the internet giant Google also indicated will release cloud-based music applications in the near future. A cloud-music service applications are reported to appear in the Android Market developer version. Although not yet live, many people believe that applications will soon be introduced.

Digital music specialist sites Music Ally claimed, there were a number of people who use that application. "They assess the applications was very impressive and has a more feature rich than the Amazon cloud-music service today," wrote Music Ally.  Last week, Amazon, Google and Apple surprise by launching a music service cloud, Cloud Player, which lets users store their entire music collection online and access them from various devices.

Google Bought the Company Travel

Google bought the company's desire travel ITA Software worth USD700 million, finally received approval from the U.S. government, in this case the Department of Justice. This purchase will give Google an important role in online travel industry. Through this purchase, Google promises more choice and better way to find airline tickets online to combine technology ITA, which supports the majority of airline reservation systems United States, and popular travel sites.

However, Google must meet several conditions if it wanted to purchase a plan that actually happened. Google should allow existing customers ITA extend their contract until 2016 and ensure that new customers get the services ITA "fair, reasonable and not bound by the terms of the discriminatory".  In addition, Google is prohibited from making agreements with airlines that have the potential to limit the distribution of seats and booking information to its competitors.

Google's decision to buy ITA Software was raised fears among competitors if the company from Mountain View that will increasingly dominate the internet search engine. No doubt, the Department of Justice also provides the requirements for Google to continue to receive supervision of federal authorities to ensure that the company was not to practice monopoly.

"The government obviously wanted to keep an eye on Google. Ability to use internet search dominance to close the competition with its competitors is nothing new in the travel industry," said Thomas Barnett as a lawyer for Expedia Inc., which opposes the deal with a number of other online travel services like Travelocity, Kayak Software, and Microsoft's Bing.

Asia Space Program

50 years since the first human flight into space, countries in Asia such as China, Japan and India have started ambitious space program. China in 2003 succeeded in becoming the third country in the world to fly humans into space after the U.S. and Russia, now the world's attention to the space program seems to start directed to Asia.

In October 2010, China successfully launched the Chang'e moon satellite 2, which is an important step in the development of Chinese astronomy world. Bamboo Curtain country is also planning to build a station outside angkasanya own. "Today our country there is no plan to land a man on the moon, may also not be realized before 2020," said Wu Weiren, Chief Designer of the Chang'e project 2.

China space program was first launched in the early era of the 90s. Since then the program has increased rapidly. If China shut down the country for cooperation with other countries for their space program, unlike the case with India. "India is very different from China to the outside angkasanya program. The Beijing very close themselves from outsiders," said Isabelle Sourbes-Verger, a French expert, in response to China's space program.

New Mineral Smallest 50x450 Nanometers

NASA and researchers from the United States, South Korea and Japan have discovered a new mineral species named 'Wassonite' in meteorites found in Antarctica in December 1969. Meteorites may come from asteroids that orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Wassonite is the smallest but important mineral species, identified in meteorites is 4.5 billion years old.

The research team led by Keiko Nakamura-Messenger, scientists from NASA, the findings add to the list that contains 4500 types of minerals that have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association. "Wassonite is a mineral that is formed only of two elements, sulfur and titanium. Minerals has a unique crystal structure that has not been investigated,"said Nakamura-Messenger.

In 1969, members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition found nine meteorites in the Yamato Mountains, Antarctica. Then the U.S. and Japan continueddo search there and found more than 40 thousand species ,including meteorites from Mars . The researchers found Wassonite surrounded by additional minerals which are also still being investigated. Wassonite measuring less than one hundredth the width of human hair or 50x450 nanometers.

With such a small size, it is impossible to find without help Wassonite NASA's transmission electron microscope, capable of determining the composition and structure of the atom Wassonite.
