</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over 100 years ago, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_Ram%C3%B3n_y_Cajal" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Santiago Ramón y Cajal">Santiago Ramon y Cajal</a>, the father of modern neuroscience, sought to systematically describe the shapes of neurons, and was convinced that there must be a unifying principle underlying their diversity.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cajal proposed that neurons spread out their branches so as to use as little wiring as possible to reach other cells in the network. Reducing the amount of wiring between cells provides additional space to pack more neurons into the brain, and therefore increases its processing power.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">New work by UCL neuroscientists, published recently in <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</em>, has revisited this century-old hypothesis using modern computational methods. They show that a simple computer program which connects points with as little wiring as possible can produce tree-like shapes which are indistinguishable from real neurons -- and also happen to be very beautiful. They also show that the shape of neurons follows a simple mathematical relationship called a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Power law">power law</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power laws have been shown to be common across the natural world, and often point to simple rules underlying complex structures. Dr Herman Cuntz (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCL_Wolfson_Institute" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="UCL Wolfson Institute">UCL Wolfson Institute</a> for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_research" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Medical research">Biomedical Research</a>) and colleagues find that the power law holds true for many types of neurons gathered from across the animal kingdom, providing strong evidence for Ramon y Cajal's general principle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The UCL team further tested the theory by examining neurons in the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain where new <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Neuron">brain cells</a> are constantly being formed. These neurons grow and form new connections even in the adult brain, and therefore provide a unique window into the rules behind the development of neural trees in a mature <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_neural_network" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Biological neural network">neural circuit</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The team analysed the change in shape of the newborn olfactory neurons over several days, and found that the growth of these neurons also follow the power law, providing further evidence to support the theory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dr Hermann Cuntz said: "The ultimate goal of neuroscience is to understand how the impenetrable neural jungle can give rise to the complexity of behaviour.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Our findings confirm Cajal's original far-reaching insight that there is a simple pattern behind the circuitry, and provides hope that neuroscientists will someday be able to see the forest for the trees."</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-82538069370868370172012-06-24T14:51:00.000-07:002012-06-24T14:51:13.392-07:00'Facebook for Animals' Tested On Wild Great Tits<div style="text-align: justify;">How animals associate in groups can have important consequences in terms of the health and survival of both individuals and whole populations; influencing factors such as the spread of disease and the ability to find food or mates.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But revealing the networks underlying animal societies is a challenge when a large amount of fieldwork data consists of a long stream of automated observations of the times and locations of individuals, leaving scientists to try and reconstruct the 'big picture' of how individuals are connected.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The new approach can automatically identify periods of intense social activity within a large number of observations -- in this example around one million observations of wild great tits (Parus major). This makes it possible to examine these periods in greater detail and calculate which individuals are real 'friends', rather than random passers-by, and even which are looking to pair up and mate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A report of the research is published in this week's <em>Journal of the Royal Society Interface.</em></div><div style-"text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'If you think of the data about you in Facebook it records things like who you are friends with, where you've been, and what you share with others,' said Ioannis Psorakis of Oxford University's Department of Engineering Science, who led the research. 'What we have shown is that we can analyse data about individual animals, in this case great tits, to construct a 'Facebook for animals' revealing who affiliates with who, who are members of the same group, and which birds are regularly going to the same gatherings or 'events.''</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">They team tested the new technique on data from two breeding seasons of wild great tits (August 2007-March 2008 and August 2008-March 2009). The data came from transponders attached to thousands of birds and sensors that logged when individuals appeared at any one of 67 bird feeders spread throughout Wytham Woods, Oxford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The researchers found that their predictions from this data about which birds were 'friends' that regularly foraged for food together, as well as which birds were starting the process of pairing up or were already in a pair, matched visual observations made by zoologists.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'What we've shown is that our technique can extract information about the networks that bind individuals together by sampling and analysing their mobility patterns,' said Ioannis Psorakis. 'Our approach makes it possible to look at huge amounts of data without having to decide what time resolution is best to extract meaning -- the model evaluates this automatically. This is just the first exalple of how zoologists are beginning to use our method to explore social networks of animals in a 'big data' context.'</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Early results from the work with great tits suggest that individual birds do not participate in flocks at random, but have a bias towards other members of the population they interact with. The majority of networks extracted using the approach are strongly clustered, and in such tight bird communities, individuals forage together and interact with their current or future mating partner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.sciencedaily.com/2012/06/120618150519-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://images.sciencedaily.com/2012/06/120618150519-large.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This approach is being used not only in great tits, but also in a mix of wild-bird social networks, exploring the animal sociality at an inter-species level. Some of the most important future steps in this work are to combine the 'social' information available through this method, with other types of information: for example combining it with genetic data is enabling researchers to explore the genetic basis of sociality: do genetically similar individuals attract each other, or is it the other way round? Can we find specific areas of the genome that account for gregariousness?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The work could also help researchers understand how information spreads through animal populations. Tits are a famous exemplar of social learning: for instance, the habit of pecking open milk bottles on doorsteps to get access to cream spread rapidly through England in the mid 20th Century. The new approach is helping scientists to test how specific social structures help or hinder the spread of novel information from individual to individual.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-14111885805629822582012-06-24T14:48:00.000-07:002012-06-24T14:48:37.707-07:00Popular Fly Fishing Rods<div style="text-align: justify;">A complete enjoyment will be obtained through the great character people have discovered.

There are various electronic components that can be placed on a circuit board and each of those components has a specific name based on JEDEC (Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council) nomenclature. Each named component has specific characteristics. If you buy a <a href="http://stlaa.com/product_detail.php?q=2085346" target="_blank">2N2222</a> bipolar junction transistor, for example, you are referring to a metal-canned transistor that has a maximum of 625 miliwatts of power dissipation and a maximum of 60 volts of voltage rating. Of course this nomenclature system is established because a specific type of electronic component has many variants. The aforementioned bipolar junction transistor, for example, has an almost similar duplicate called PN2222, whose only difference from this transistor is that PN2222 uses plastic can instead of metal can. If you want to buy a certain electronic component to be mounted on your circuit board, make sure you know the name of the component that you want to buy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Among many electronic components that you can buy from any electronic stores, either local or online, signal diode is possibly one of components that have the most variants. The primary function of such signal diodes as <a href="http://stlaa.com/product_detail.php?q=1918679" target="_blank">1N4148</a> diode is to force electricity to flow to only one direction. Signal diodes are made from such semiconductors as germanium and silicone. Semiconductors are materials that neither allow electricity to flow as effectively as it does on conductors nor resist electricity as strongly as insulators do. Diode is made from semiconductor so that it can resist electricity to flow alternatively in two directions and at the same time allow electricity to flow in one direction. Signal diode has many uses, one of which is to emit light when current flows through it. A variant of diode that is used for this function is called LED.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just like other named electronic components, a signal diode with a specific name also has specific characteristics. <a href="http://stlaa.com/product_detail.php?q=2903817" target="_blank">BAV99</a> signal diode, for example, is one whose maximum repetitive reverse voltage is 70 volts, average rectified forward current is 200 mA, storage temperature range is between -55 to 150 degree Celsius, and operating junction temperature range is the same with that of its storage temperature. Make sure you define the name of signal diode that you want to buy so that you don’t choose the wrong item.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-24775588013802193442012-06-16T12:37:00.000-07:002012-06-19T12:39:59.909-07:00What to Expect in Spyware Removal<div style="text-align: justify;">When deciding what to buy to how to remove spyware, there are some things you should consider.

As you surely have known, cloud computing now becomes the most popular computing system due to many benefits offered by cloud computing. Affordable cost and flexible management are two great benefits that always become the reasons to use cloud computing system. In fact, soon after people use cloud computing, they usually will start considering the consumerization of IT. In an online article, a cloud computing expert even predicts that IT consumerization will become a growing trend soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actually, consumerizing your workforce can give you at least three great benefits. The first benefit is ability to work anytime from anywhere. You can simply instruct your employees to <a href="http://www.trendmicro.com/us/enterprise/challenges/it-consumerization/index.html" target="_blank">BYOD</a> so they can work from anywhere. If your employees can work anytime from anywhere, there won’t be any work unaccomplished. Meaning to say, since your employees can work anytime from anywhere, all of their works can be accomplished on time. The next benefit of IT consumerization is accessible. Whether you are on the go or at an overseas meeting, you can always get data about your company. This opportunity is absolutely advantageous as it enables you to do your jobs more easily. What you need to do to is only to access your company’s network using your mobile devices. This will surely avoid you from calling your company to ask for data.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, the third benefit of IT consumerization is chances to reduce business expenses. Since your employees can work anytime from anywhere, you will not need to pay for overtime works. This will surely reduce the amount of money you should spend for your business every month. Therefore, if you haven’t used IT consumerization, you had better consider it since this system gives you many great benefits.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-59998558688241962662012-04-06T23:08:00.000-07:002012-04-06T23:08:20.618-07:00The develop process of the technology make efficient of the times<div style="text-align: justify;">Recently, the cloud computing of the computer software spread to develop. The develop process of the cloud computing cause the new activity for use the new develop of cloud. The cloud process use wireless for access more the application directly. We just using internet access can many of the application can we download and install to our computer. For the last method is still by using client server for access the application, for this time, we just using cloud access that very easy and efficient for getting the applications. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cloud technology makes the user can add some application easily. The application can easily apply to our computer. Application install directly by using the internet connection. To protect the connection, there is <a href="http://www.trendmicro.com.au/" target="_blank">cloud security</a> support the cloud computing. Cloud security is developing sub domain of network security, information security and others broadly. Cloud security is associating with the cloud computing to access process. This period is just the latest update from the mainframe era. Cloud computing is very easy to operate and to install a few application. We simply connect the access to the Internet and connect to an application, support, and we can immediately download and can be used by the new application. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We use a variety of application and the technology in hand. By using cloud computing the new release of technology can access easily by using the cloud computing. The develop process of the technology make efficiently and effective access. We didn’t waste time again like by using mainframe and client server era. This is the improved opportunities to be in the development process of technology. People can access many of the application that they want. Cloud computing can do much on the capacity of the access Application Details. Develop the process of technology can make better life that’s support our update of technology.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-4944453814611786822012-03-28T07:29:00.000-07:002012-03-28T07:29:26.947-07:00Datacenter can save all data from disaster<div style="text-align: justify;">For this times internet is the biggest people needed that built connectivity for the others. With the internet we can across the worldwide just a few minute. We can access the internet connectivity easily. More and more times makes the connectivity better and still develop process. The internet can support to all the segment of human needed. Information for all the aspects about anything can found from the internet. The data from the internet develop as quickly as develop of the information that’s happen. To protect the data in internet, there are back up data for internet that build to safe all data that spread in internet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Those are the data centers that support the internet access. The Ashburn Virginia datacenter is one of the two data center that build in Virginia that support 100% power and 100% network access. The position of geographical the Ashburn Virginia that support for better serve market North America and South America. The others location that’s support by the Ashburn Virginia are Midwest and East Coast USA, Europe, Africa, and Middle East. The other one from the data centers that build to support the global internet is The San Diego California datacenter. <a href="http://www.scalematrix.com/services/colocation/" target="_blank">San Diego datacenter</a> is located at California. Different with the Ashburn Virginia, San Diego California data center is better serve the data center market West Cost USA, Asia, and Australia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.scalematrix.com/services/colocation/" target="_blank">San Diego data center</a> also has guarantee and availability for the 100% power and 100% of connectivity that’s support the internet access related the serve market. The Ashburn Virginia datacenter and The San Diego California datacenter are serves as primary serve Disaster Recovery (DR) site. The all data that happen in the internet is had back up by data center to protect from the disaster site. From those, all the data can safety and can’t lose the old internet’s data.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-81404572787693218182012-03-23T08:19:00.000-07:002012-03-23T08:19:08.890-07:00Developt the technology for better images<div style="text-align: justify;">High technology for the human is developt technology for the past. The technology is way for better life that’s help the pople to do some tasks or dailiy activity. People need some device to help their life more easily than the past time. The simple example is for the past time people use the animal for the land to grow their plant, but for tims time people have been used the machine to help their job. They don’t use some animal again. They just using land machine and the other device that’s support their activity. The others example is for the past, people watch the televition by using black and white colour. The next technology people has been used the colour televition that’s watch in their home. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The technology not stopped from there, people continue to developt the technology. They built new technology for gets the beautiful images that’s help the people for the better images. People developt the image viewer to be best quality images with using VGA cable. The next generation for the cable that support the better images is developtment for VGA itself. Now, there is <a href="http://sewelldirect.com/VGA-over-Cat5-with-Audio.asp">VGA over Cat5</a> that has a better images better than the last VGA. Technology always growth with better and improvement the last technology. They always improve the technology for help to human needed. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The other improvement of technology is make for better life than before. Technology not only stopped from those, it always improve and make the others device that’s support some electronic ones. Technology not off from the electrician, they need electricity to support they power. That’s new era for developt technology in electronic device. More and more device built to help the human life for simple ways. That’s is simple life that’s people wanted for their life than before.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105314501066860509.post-72963336812778546082012-03-18T02:14:00.002-07:002012-03-18T02:14:52.110-07:00The Vulnerability Management<div style="text-align: justify;">As these days business always use the computer technologies, the owners need to be careful and aware of business risk and of course they also need to make sure that they have the right and perfect application and software for their business.

Anyway I will not engage you in this topic here for it is not what this post is about and . For me as long as the infographic is based on solid background data and tackles the subjects we are interested in then why not thumbing it up, we do not care whether the person who created it wants just to draw traffic to his or her website but as long as the infographic itself contains valid and correct data then why not share it.The aim is learning and not judging people's intentions after all. I said this because I have been engaged in such a debate about infographics in one of the webinars I held recently and I just want to make it clear once for all.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNCS1SumASCavNDCeX5sFOTxsGjl46p01UwJ_Eqi9DUcRMXsxdv6yO5DxhA2R69PT2Mnd6pkJeqcCV-mO5ppHB-dCbzJXl6RHQ629Xwc4DwdF9T648oiheUOskxRUX8bdbm3rLWSNg2Y/s1600/infographics.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="infographic" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNCS1SumASCavNDCeX5sFOTxsGjl46p01UwJ_Eqi9DUcRMXsxdv6yO5DxhA2R69PT2Mnd6pkJeqcCV-mO5ppHB-dCbzJXl6RHQ629Xwc4DwdF9T648oiheUOskxRUX8bdbm3rLWSNg2Y/s1600/infographics.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br />That being said, I would like to insist on the validity and usability of the infographics I include in my blog. Before I share one here it has to go through a filtering process including a small investigation about the creator of the infographic and many many other things.
