Mobile phone radiation may cause brain cancer

Mobile phone radiation may cause brain cancer

A study suggests risks for the human body due to prolonged use of cell phone; one of them was brain cancer.


A once-secret document detailing links between cell phones and brain cancer has now been released by the order of a California court.


The document says that “long-term cell phone use may increase the risk of brain cancer and other health problems” and admits that “cell phone Electro Magnetic Field’s can affect nearby cells and tissues.”


In a special warning section about children, it also explains that “EMFs can pass deeper into a child’s brain than an adult’s.”

Robotic waiter in multan.....

Robotic waiter service introduced in Multan restaurant

Graduate of NUST has built a robot costing Rs 0.4 million to serve food in his father’s pizza restaurant in Multan


Syed Usama Aziz, an electrical engineer who graduated in NUST in 2015 has built a robot, completely indigenous that now is operational in his father’s pizza place called ‘Pizza.com’.

The mechanical waiter can greet the customers, take down orders, navigate and serve the food before returning.

Reportedly, Aziz wanted to pursue Robotics study abroad after his graduation but started building the machine here owing to parents asking him to stay.

The NUST graduate spent around Rs 0.4 million to erect the machine that now is under beta testing.

Gold can help to cure cancer

Gold can help to cure cancer.

A researcher tested gold compounds as a treatment for cancer in Saudi Arabia.

 Gold, which has been known to be a symbol of wealth and beauty, may now become a symbol of health, according to what a Saudi researcher says.

Dr. Saeed Al-Jaroudi, who has been researching and testing gold compounds as a treatment for cancer in Saudi Arabia, told Al Arabiya English that “the use of gold compounds for the treatment of cancer in the near future looks very promising.”


                                                              
Jaroudi explained that the idea of using compounds of gold to fight cancer has been researched for the past 20 years, which he has continued and aimed to develop.

“We have experimented on cancer infected rats, and the results so far are incredible,” Jaroudi said.

He conducted laboratory experiments which are considered the first phase for approval to accept the compound as treatment. There are two other phases, he explained, which are animal testing and testing on human subjects. According to Jaroudi this may take from 10 to 15 years.

His idea to use gold compounds as a treatment for cancer is an attempt to find an alternative to the drug Cisplatin which has been in use for 40 years and which has many side effects.

“One of the side effects is that if a cancer patient continues the treatment, the cancerous cell will eventually become immune to it and hence the drug becomes ineffective,” he said. Whereas gold compounds on the other hand are more efficient.

Australia announces video competition for Pakistan schools.....

 The Australian Trade and Investment Commission has invited schools from across Pakistan to participate in the Pakistan Schools’ Video Competition 2017 and win a study trip to a leading Australian university.

Samsung’s big launch is done and the Galaxy S8 is official

Galaxy S8 Vs Galaxy S6: Should You Upgrade?

 Display - Big Is Better

Let’s cut to the chase: the number one reason the Galaxy S8 will grab your attention is its stunning display:

Galaxy S8 - 5.8-inch Super AMOLED, 1440 x 2960 pixels (570 ppi pixel density), 83.6% screen-to-body ratio, Corning Gorilla Glass 5

Galaxy S6 - 5.1-inch Super AMOLED, 1440 x 2560 pixels (577 ppi pixel density), 70.7% screen-to-body ratio, Corning Gorilla Glass 4

Yes the standard Galaxy S8 now has a display which is larger the Galaxy S6 Edge+ ‘phablet’, that’s some statement of intent. Furthermore the incredible 83.6% screen-to-body ratio means this is no oversized monster (more later).

Beyond this the Galaxy S8 also has the best smartphone screen ever made and is the first to attain Mobile HDR Premium certification thanks to improved brightness and contrast ratios. If you drop it, the Galaxy S8’s Gorilla Glass 5 is also better at surviving falls than the Galaxy S6’s Gorilla Glass 4 (though there isn’t much in it).

The Galaxy S8 running high quality video at full resolution is a stunning sight Gordon Kelly                                                 

It is worth pointing out Samsung ships the Galaxy S8 with a lower 2220 x 1080 resolution by default. It will still look great (and you can change it), but the reasoning behind this downgrade has implications when we come to discuss battery life.

Design - Compact And More Practical

And here is where the Galaxy S8’s screen-to-body ratio really should catch your attention:

Galaxy S8 - 148.9 x 68.1 x 8.0 mm ( 5.86 x 2.68 x 0.31-inch), 155g (5.36 oz)

Galaxy S6 - 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm (5.65 x 2.78 x 0.27-inch), 138g (4.87 oz)

Yes, you’re looking at a device with a 5.8-inch display which is only 17g (0.59 oz) heavier than the Galaxy S8 while actually being slightly narrower. This is achieved by drastically cutting down the top and bottom bezels and eliminating the side bezels completely in favour of curved edges. Samsung calls this the ‘Infinity Display’ and, for once, the marketing is not overblown. 

software gives Samsung Gear VR’s Oculus Home a big resolution boost....

John Carmack’s new software gives Gear VR’s Oculus Home a big resolution boost

On the list of things I thought I would be seeing when I showed up to a meeting with Oculus last week to demo the new Gear VR, doubled resolution was not one of them. Increasing the resolution of virtual reality headsets is at the very top of many people’s “Problems to Solve” list including my own. I assumed it would take a significant jump in hardware to get to that next level of image fidelity, but apparently Oculus CTO John Carmack had other ideas.

Halfway through my demo, Oculus head of mobile product, Max Cohen, told me that a new piece of software designed by Carmack will be included in the brand new Oculus Home redesign releasing for Gear VR. This new approach will reportedly provide “twice the pixel resolution” in Oculus Home for Gear VR.

According to Cohen, before this software update “the eye buffers rendered 1024×1024 and because of the way it was rendered on the screen you were looking at somewhere in the order of 400 pixels vertically.”

Once the new Home goes live, however, “you’re looking on the order of about 600 pixels. So it’s kind of a one-and-a-half times, one-and-a-half times improvement which equals around two overall.”

According to a message from Oculus, this increased image clarity is made possible by “a native rewrite and cylindrical layers.”

These layers warp the native image on your phone’s screen in a slightly different manner than before to better utilize the pixels on the screen. Carmack himself describes the difference as “going from Standard Definition to High Definition.”

Apple clash with Imagination Technologies...

Apple clash with Imagination Technologies shows desire to take ‘control of their destiny’ in future of A.I

Apple wants to control its own destiny in the chip arms race Apple wants to control its own destiny in the chip arms race 

Apple's decision to drop Imagination Technologies as a supplier might seem like a ruthless move, but it underlines the technology giant's ongoing push to have more control over hardware which will have implications on its margins and ability to own new areas like augmented reality (AR) in the future.

Apple said it would be "reducing its future reliance on Imagination's technology" over the next 15 to 24 months. Imagination, a U.K. firm that designs graphics processing units (GPU), is a key part of Apple's products like the iPhone.
