Technological advances will continually happen for better or for worse. Google is without a doubt the most popular search engine in the world and a technological advancement that puts all sorts of information within our grasps. Nicholas Carr has written several books such as “IT Doesn’t Matter” and “Does IT Matter?” and he has his own blog in which he criticizes our supposed growing dependency on technology. He had different work such as “The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains,”…

Our world and everything it contains is held together by one thing: chemistry. Chemistry plays an important role in all of our lives due to this fact. Whether in my career or in everyday events, chemistry will be an unseen, yet central, influence in my life. This is apparent in both my personal activities when baking, wearing clothing, participation in holiday traditions and my professional life when writing software, creating biological implants, engaging in computational chemistry and in the…

coprocessor mostly uses the GPU’s, which will eat up low essentialness. To make these programming models we make usage of OpenMP for Intel Xeon and for Nvidia we make use of OpenAcc programming model. These Two coprocessors are used as a piece of the supercomputers in prospects on account of the predominant, less usage of imperativeness besides better versatility and steadfast quality. II. Intel Xenon Phi Coprocessor.…

One of the most perplexing and frustrating biological enigmas which scientists have been trying to solve for years is how animals from European robins to fruit flies to beluga whales can navigate their way across earth in the proper direction with each change of season. Decades have passed with no concrete evidence of any biological compass evidence found within any of these incredible travelers; theories have only been postulated. Recently, however, some researchers claim they’ve uncovered a…

Climate change is a complex global issue that encompasses a multitude of physical systems ranging from the atmosphere to the carbon cycle to the cryosphere and the ocean. This brief provides an introductory overview of the current state of climate science, using data on historical and future trends from recent scientific literature. It explores the methodologies of scientific research on climate change; the role of the atmosphere and greenhouse gases (specifically carbon dioxide) in climate…

The main market for Norwegian oil is the United Kingdom followed by the Netherlands being the first delivery point, then Germany, Sweden, France, Denmark, Ireland and more. Only approximately 2% makes it across the “great pond” to America. Since the price drop on the oil market in 2014 which was caused by various factors but mainly by new oil discoveries and by the Organization of Petrol Exporting Countries (OPEC) trying to sustain its market share even by lowering the oil price, a barrel of…

It’s a popular opinion these days that computers and the human brain are essentially equal in terms of how they work. With the growing rate of technology, it may one day be possible for people to upload their brains into a computer, and essentially live forever. The benefits of such technology are huge. A failing or aging body is obsolete if we can become mechanical and still retain our original selves. Disease would be a thing of the past. Computers however, are not free from flaws themselves.…

Animals have been used to aid biomedical research for centuries. Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC) and Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), performed experiments on living animals. An Arab physician in twelfth century Spain, Ibn Zuhr, introduced animal testing as an experimental method for testing surgical procedures before applying them to human patients (Hajar). Recently, however, the science and medical community has come under fire for these experiments. Many have…

When we wake up, what’s one of the first things we do? Most of us can answer this by checking our phones for the notifications we missed while we slept. If not, it is usually one of the first things we do sometime within the morning to prepare for our day. What about when we have a few minutes in between activities, such as work or class? What about when we’re home and have a night off? We usually end up using technology in some way, whether it’s watching Netflix with friends, staying in touch…

the author, discusses the pros and cons of technology, specifically the Internet, as both a provider of information, and a way for humans to access information. He opens with a quote from the infamous film 2001: A Space Odyssey, where HAL, the supercomputer, pleads with his human companion not to shut him down. “Dave, my mind is going,” says HAL sadly. Similarly, Carr feels that his mind is also experiencing a loss. A prolific and successful author and bibliophile, Carr has nonetheless noticed a…
