Memory Loss Linked To Common Sleep Disorder
For the first time, UCLA researchers have discovered that people with sleep apnea show tissue loss in brain regions that help store memory. Reported in the June 27 edition of the journal Neuroscience Letters, the findings emphasize the importance of early detection of the disorder, which afflicts an estimated 20 million Americans.
Sleep apnea occurs when a blocked airway repeatedly halts the sleeper's breathing, resulting in loud bursts of snoring and chronic daytime fatigue. Memory loss and difficulty focusing are also common complaints. Prior studies have linked the disorder to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and diabetes.
"Our findings demonstrate that impaired breathing during sleep can lead to a serious brain injury that disrupts memory and thinking," said principal investigator Ronald Harper, a distinguished professor of neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
The study focused on structures called mammillary bodies, so named because they resemble small breasts, on the underside of the brain.
The UCLA team scanned the brains of 43 sleep apnea patients, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to collect high-resolution images of the entire brain, including slices of the mammillary bodies.
The structures' small size and proximity to bone and fluid make them difficult to measure by conventional MRI. So the researchers manually traced the mammillary bodies from the high-resolution scans and calculated their volumes from the hand-drawn outlines.
When they compared the results to images of 66 control subjects matched for age and gender, the scientists discovered that the sleep apnea patients' mammillary bodies were nearly 20 percent smaller, particularly on the left side.
"The findings are important because patients suffering memory loss from other syndromes, such as alcoholism or Alzheimer disease, also show shrunken mammillary bodies," said lead author Rajesh Kumar, a UCLA assistant researcher in neurobiology.
"Physicians treat memory loss in alcoholic patients with massive amounts of thiamine, or vitamin B1," he added. "We suspect that the dose helps dying cells to recover, enabling the brain to use them again."
The scientists' next step is to determine how sleep apnea causes tissue loss in the mammillary bodies.
Harper hypothesizes that repeated drops in oxygen lead to the brain injury. During an apnea episode, the brain's blood vessels constrict, starving its tissue of oxygen and causing cellular death. The process also incites inflammation, which further damages the tissue.

New, Flexible Computers Use Displays With Any Shape
The shape of things to come in the computer world will be anything but flat, predicts Queen's University Computing professor Roel Vertegaal, who is now developing prototypes of these new "non-planar" devices in his Human Media Laboratory.
Not only will they take on flexible forms we've never imagined -- like pop cans with browsers displaying RSS feeds and movie trailers -- computers of the future will respond to our direct touch and even change their own shape to better accommodate data, for example, folding up like a piece of paper to be tucked into our pockets.
"Organic User Interface" -- the concept behind these next-generation computers -- is featured in the June issue of the Association of Computer Machinery's (ACM) flagship publication, Communications of ACM. The special edition is co-edited by Drs. Vertegaal and Ivan Poupyrev, of the Sony Interaction Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan "What we're talking about here is nothing short of a revolution for human-computer interaction," says Dr. Vertegaal. He compares our current use of flat, rectangular computers to the 19th-century satiric novel, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, about people who live in only two dimensions and are narrow-minded as a result. "I think computers are very much like that today," Dr. Vertegaal suggests. "You are essentially looking at a tiny tunnel into a flat, on-line world, and that causes people to think in a two-dimensional way. 'Flatland' interfaces are incredibly limited compared to natural 3D ones."
Three recent developments in computer technology have allowed inventors to move beyond the rigid, rectangular design of current devices. Advances in touch input technologies now allow for any surface to sense two-handed, multi-finger touch. An example of this is smart fabric, such as the "tank top" user interface being tested in Dr. Vertegaal's laboratory this summer.
The second development, flexible displays, is found in flexible circuit boards with organic LEDs (light emitting diodes) used to make electronic paper. These "E-Ink" (electrophoretic ink) displays are formed from millions of tiny, polarized ink capsules, half black and half white. A computer switch sends out minus or plus voltages and the ink will either attract or repel to form a display. Once the display is "painted" the electricity can be switched off. The flexible base layer allows the display to be rolled up and put inside one's pocket, like regular paper.
Kinetic Organic Interface (KOI), the third development, enables the design of computers that adjust their shape according to some computational outcome, or through interactions with users. This is expected to yield "Claytronic" 3D displays capable of displaying not just pictures, but physical shapes in three dimensions.
"We want to reduce the computer's stranglehold on cognitive processing by imbedding it and making it work more and more like the natural environment," says Dr. Vertegaal. "It is too much of a technological device now, and we haven't had the technology to truly integrate a high-resolution display in artifacts that have organic shapes: curved, flexible and textile, like your coffee mug."

Accidental Discovery Could Enable Development Of Faster Computers
Physicists at UC Riverside have made an accidental discovery in the lab that has potential to change how information in computers can be transported or stored. Dependent on the "spin" of electrons, a property electrons possess that makes them behave like tiny magnets, the discovery could help in the development of spin-based semiconductor technology such as ultrahigh-speed computers.
The researchers were experimenting with ferromagnet/semiconductor (FM/SC) structures, which are key building blocks for semiconductor spintronic devices (microelectronic devices that perform logic operations using the spin of electrons). The FM/SC structure is sandwich-like in appearance, with the ferromagnet and semiconductor serving as microscopically thin slices between which lies a thinner still insulator made of a few atomic layers of magnesium oxide (MgO).
The researchers found that by simply altering the thickness of the MgO interface they were able to control which kinds of electrons, identified by spin, traveled from the semiconductor, through the interface, to the ferromagnet.

Have A Cafe Coffee Day
A new large, prospective population-based study confirms an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and liver cancer risk. The study also found that higher levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in the blood were associated with an increased risk of developing the disease.
So what are you wating for? Go and get your cup of coffee now.

Martian Soil Points Toward Possibility Of Life ......
Scientists have discovered that Martian soil is rich in nutrients.
NASA researchers want to determine whether the planet could support, or ever has supported, life. The nutrients are among a few positive indicators they have gleaned since the Phoenix Mars Lander began collecting and testing soil samples last month. Early findings, including ice crystals and nutrients, point toward water -- the chemical basis for life.
Phoenix co-investigator William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead TEGA scientist, called the data "spectacular."
Phoenix co-investigator William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead TEGA scientist, called the data "spectacular."
"At this point, we can say that the soil has clearly interacted with water in the past," he said. "We don't know whether that interaction occurred in this particular area in the northern polar region, or whether it might have happened elsewhere and blown up to this area as dust."
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander began its first wet chemistry experiment on Martian soil this week. NASA said the experiment went "flawlessly" and produced data that, for Phoenix scientists, "was like winning the lottery." On Friday, some work remained before the first wet-chemical analysis was complete. This is the first such experiment done on any planet other than Earth would be complete, according to Phoenix co-investigator Sam Kounaves of Tufts University, who serves as the science lead for the wet chemistry research.
Kounaves said the soil appears similar to that found in Antarctica's dry upper valleys and the salts it contains are another indication of the presence of water.
"We also found a reasonable number of nutrients, or chemicals needed by life as we know it," Kounaves said. "Over time, I've come to the conclusion that the amazing thing about Mars is not that it's an alien world, but that in many aspects, like mineralogy, it's very much like Earth."
The soil about one-inch into the surface layer is alkaline, with a pH between eight and nine, and it appears to contain magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride, according to Kouvanes.
"We are awash in chemistry data," Michael Hecht, lead scientist for the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer, or MECA, instrument on Phoenix, said. "We're trying to understand what is the chemistry of wet soil on Mars, what's dissolved in it, how acidic or alkaline it is. With the results we received from Phoenix yesterday, we could begin to tell what aspects of the soil might support life."

++++++ Planet X ++++++
To illustrate some of the amazing knowledge the Sumerians possessed 6,000 years ago, I will use a reference to something that to this day is still being taught by our education system. When the Earth was much older, we can determine the land mass was once a clumped together mass at one point in time. But due to the process known as "Continental Drift" or "Plate tectonics",the land clump was slowly pulled apart to where the current land masses are today.
We can see clear proof that the continents were all once connected by simply looking at a map of the Earth and seeing how the pieces fit. That would only mean that at one time, Earth was basically half a planet.
Where did the other half go? Why is Earth only half a planet? The diagrams shown here are descriptions from the Sumerians explaining how our Earth came to be... They state that the satellites of Planet X (Nibiru) as they called it, collided with our primitive Earth in the past. Creating the asteroid belt and forever becoming another member of our solar system in a comet like 3,600 year orbit around the sun
In February, 1971, the United States launched Pioneer 10. Pioneer 10 scientists attached to it an engraved aluminum plaque. It attempts to tell whoever might find the plaque that Mankind is male and female, etc., and that (Pioneer 10) is from the 3rd planet of this Sun. Our astronomy is geared to the notion that Earth is the 3rd planet, which indeed it is if one begins the count from the center of our system, the Sun. But to someone nearing our solar system from the outside, the 1st planet to be encountered would be Pluto, the 2nd Neptune, the 3rd Uranus, the 4th Saturn, the 5th Jupiter, the 6th Mars .. and the Earth would be 7th.
The (12th) Planet's periodic appearance and disappearance from Earth's view confirms the assumption of its permanence in solar orbit. In this it acts like many comets. If so, why are our astronomers not aware of the existence of this planet? The fact is that even an orbit half as long as the lower figure for (the comet) Kohoutek, (every 7,500 years), would take the 12th Planet about 6 times farther away from us than Pluto - a distance at which such a planet would not be visible from Earth. In fact, the known planets beyond Saturn were first discovered not visually but mathematically.
UPDATE - The Orpheous Theory is one of the latest theories released which explains that a "rogue planet" collided with our primitive earth, creating our moon. Almost exactly what the Sumerian describe 6,000 yrs ago...

Microsoft's Touch Screen Windows
Chairman Bill Gates and Chief Executive Steve Ballmer showed off new Windows features based on software it calls "multi-touch" that will be part of Windows 7, the next version of Windows, which Ballmer said was due out in late 2009.
The ability to use touch to give users fingertip control of their screens could help revolutionize how computer desktops and mobile phones are controlled and would be an alternative to existing mice, keyboard and pen-based user controls.
During a joint interview that kicked off the Wall Street Journal's three-day D: All Things Digital conference, an annual gathering of the computer industry elite taking place north of San Diego, Ballmer said touch screen controls was one example of how Microsoft would improve on existing Windows software.
Microsoft is seeking to one-up Apple Inc, which made touch-screen software central to the success of its iPhone mobile device, which combines computer, phone and Web features and has sold around 6 million units in its first 11 months.
After more than a decade of slow development, Gates said new ways of interacting with computers other than keyboards and mice have matured to the point where they are ready to go mainstream.
"We are at an interesting juncture where almost all of the interaction is with the computer and mouse, today, and, over the years to come, the role of speech, vision, ink, all of those will become huge," Gates said.
He was referring to technologies that gives users the ability to control computers with voice commands, detect and sort different kinds of images and use electronic ink instead of typing for computer input.

What is the meaning of two 'C' in Cognizant's Logo?
I have so far researched a great deal on the above topic but havent got a well defined answer.
I am sharing the answers with you guys....
1.Its a Hologram.
2.The C which stand straight represents firmness,reliability.The second C is symbolizes flexibility.
3.One C represents HORIZONTALS and the other one VERTICALS.
4.1st C for "CONFIDENCE"2nd C for "CONVERGENCE".
5.May be Cognizant was earlier called Cognizant Corp and thats why 2 Cs.
6.May be for Customer Centric.
7.The straight c stands for our employees(we're all treated equally) and the c at an angle symbolises we bending our backs for our customers.
8.The c keeps rotating in the logo.since it is an image they kept two C to symbolize its rotation.
Now people I want to know all of your thoughts on this topic,So plz post your comment if you love/like this company....
Comment option is just beneath the post.........So go for it..........
Your comments also can be seen by others on this Board,so what are you waiting for????

Could microbes on Phoenix survive on Mars?
The Phoenix lander may have been coated with dozens of species of bacteria when it left Earth – and some may be hardy enough to scrape by on Mars, two new studies suggest. But researchers say the parts of the lander that will contact water ice on Mars – which might provide a toehold for life – have been carefully sterilised, minimising the chances that terrestrial life could colonise the planet. NASA has long realised that spacecraft could potentially seed other planets with terrestrial life. To cut the chances of transporting microbes to space, probes such as Phoenix, which landed on the northern plains of Mars on 25 May, are now assembled in clean rooms ventilated with filtered air. NASA also swabs the craft to measure the levels of particularly hardy spore-forming bacteria, which can lay dormant for decades and withstand extreme temperatures. But the agency doesn't routinely check for less resilient bacteria or microbes that can't be cultured, since harsh ultraviolet radiation on Mars is thought to quickly kill most such organisms.
What you guys think....can one day people will leave on mars?
Imagine the mobile service........inter planet university..........the space ships.........traffic.......
inter planet marriages......etc
plz post your comments on this.
Till then bye.
Changing Port Number Of Http Server in Oracle10g XE
When you run Oracle10g along with Tomcat, you face a problem as both of them use port number 8080. If Oralce started, it uses port no. 8080 for its HttpServer. Any attempt to start Tomcat subsequently ( or any other server that uses port no. 8080) will not succede.
The remedy is two-fold. Either you change port number of Tomcat using server.xml file of Tomcat or change port number used by Http Server of Oracle10g.
The following steps change port number used by Oracle's HttpServer to 8888. Of course the port number can be anything you want.
1.Select Run SQL Command Line
2.Connect to Oracle10g using SYSTEM account. SQL>connect system/
Provide password that you gave at the time of installing Oracle10g.
3.Execute the following stored procedure to change Http port number to 8888. SQL>execute DBMS_XDB.SetHttpPort(8888); SetHttpPort is a procedure in DBMS_XDB pacakge. It is used to change port number used by Oracle for Http Server.
4.You can retrieve the port number just to confirm the change as follows.SQL>select dbms_xdb.GetHttpPort() from dual;

How Many Super Computer India HAS?
The number of super computers India has in the top 500 fastest computers has grown from 2 in June,2003 to 11 in june,2006. All 11 were acquired in the last 2 years. The fastest of these 11 super computers is a system from HP with 1400 microprocessors. And its ranking in the top 500 is 141. Other super computers in India are a little behind and last one from India in top 500 is at position 373, which has 730 microprocessors.
So, certainly India has gone much higher than what many of you think. I know many of you think that India still has only two super computers. Yes, that was true if you take figures of June,2003. But since then India has increased its count significantly.
Now, let me provide some details about where other countries and continents are. Out of 500, US itself has 299. Europe has 83. And Asia has overtaken Europe with 93, in which Japan has 29 and China has 28.
What about the fastest of all. What is its processing capacity?. The fastest of all is in US. It is installed in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by DOE. It was created by IBM and DOE. It is called as Blue/Gene/L. It was installed in year 2005 with 1,13,072 microprocessors. Its speed is 280600 GFlops (fastest in India works at 3830.4 GFlops).
In terms of microprocessors market, Intel dominates the market with 301 systems out of 500. IBM is dominating in the manufacturing company segment with 48.6% of market share and HP enjoys 30.8% of share.

Simulating anti anti-virus viruses----An Idea
Most viruses today have retro abillities, but I'm talking about a virus, that is specially coded to destroy anti-virus programs. It would turn off resident AV monitors, install troyans in anti-viruses (*.AVC and TBSCAN.DEF infection). It would also overwrite part of AV programs by installing itself in them and then simulate that the AV scans. There are several viruses that patched the "File system" status on TbScan's output to hide the fact that it suddenly used DOS services to read the disk. A SAAV virus would for example execute the graphics procedure to display message "Scanning for known viruses in memory" by F-Prot/DOS but then just wait for some time. It would use the necessary procedure to bring up the scanning window, display filenames and instead of checking infect them. Or for example display "Checking partition table" by ThunderByte Partition (created by TbUtil) and check nothing. It could be like the real AIDS, which doesn't kill, it just destroys the immunity system and makes the way free for other deseases. It doesn't take much code to do so, just some small patches. The problem is how the virus finds what to patch coz AV companies would change the inner structure of the program with every new version. At this moment the fact, that most AV programs don't let to encrypt/compress themselves (coz of the CRC check), comes real handy.

Destroying the PC-speaker----An Idea
As last a destructive payload from KUTT/TPT Gang. The idea is based on the fact that speakers may get damaged when the music is too loud. KUTT though that it would be interesting if a virus did that to PC-speaker: generate a high and loud sound and play it quite some time. It's probably technically impossible to realize, but who knows? An enhanced version of this idea is to damage the speakers that are connected to the sound card. This should actually be more realistic, coz usually the hardware of a sound card is capable of that and the speakers aren't made for this situation.

Sending Mail In ASP.NET 2.0 Using Gmail
I have written a program to send a mail from my Gmail account to Yahoo account. The program uses ASP.NET 2.0 and uses SMTP server of Gmail. We have to enable SSL and find out the port number of SMTP of GMAIL, which happens to be 587. But try 465 also. See what what port works for you.As it is a simple program to test a simple mail, i am not taking any input from user. I have used simple body and subject. I have run this and got a mail into my inbox of yahoo.
Just create a new ASP.NET page and place a button on it. Write code for click event of that button. To test it, just run the page and click on the button. If you see no errors, it means message is sent successfully.
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net;
public partial class SendMail : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage m = new MailMessage("get2swarup@gmail.com", "somebody@yahoo.com");
m.Body = "Testing Mail From Gmail.com";
m.IsBodyHtml = false;
m.Subject = "Testing";
m.Priority = MailPriority.High;
// SMPT settings
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587); // server name and port number
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential ("get2swarup@gmail.com","password");
smtp.Send(m);
}
}

Opening MSWord Document From Java
In the recent release (Java 6.0), Java provides Desktop class. The purpose of the class is to open the application in your system that is associated with the given file. So, if you invoke open() method with a Word document (.doc) then it automatically invokes MS Word as that is the application associated with .doc files.
I have developed a small Swing program (though you can develop it as a console application) to take document number from user and invoke document into MSWord. The assumption is; documents are stored with filename consisting of>.doc.
Given below is the Java program that you can compile and run it as-it-is. Make sure you change DIR variable to the folder where .doc files are stored.
import java.io.File;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class WordDocument extends JFrame {
private JButton btnOpen;
private JLabel jLabel1;
private JTextField txtDocNumber;
private static String DIR ="c:\\worddocuments\\"; // folder where word documents are present.
public WordDocument() {
super("Open Word Document");
initComponents();
}
private void initComponents() {
jLabel1 = new JLabel();
txtDocNumber = new JTextField();
btnOpen = new JButton();
Container c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new java.awt.FlowLayout());
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jLabel1.setText("Enter Document Number : ");
c.add(jLabel1);
txtDocNumber.setColumns(5);
c.add(txtDocNumber);
btnOpen.setText("Open Document");
btnOpen.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { // anonymous inner class
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
try {
File f = new File( DIR + txtDocNumber.getText() + ".doc");
desktop.open(f); // opens application (MSWord) associated with .doc file
}
catch(Exception ex) {
// WordDocument.this is to refer to outer class's instance from inner class
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(WordDocument.this,ex.getMessage(),"Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
});
c.add(btnOpen);
} // initCompnents()
public static void main(String args[]) {
WordDocument wd = new WordDocument();
wd.setSize(300,100);
wd.setVisible(true);
}
}
