Greenland: The Icy Giant at the Center of a Warming World Why Iceland is Greeny?           Far beyond the reach of most people’s daily thoughts lies Greenland, a vast and remote Arctic island that is quietly becoming one of the most geopolitically, environmentally, and economically important places on Earth. Though it’s part of the Kingdom of Denmark and home to fewer people than a small European microstate, Greenland’s immense landmass, strategic location, and untapped wealth have made it the subject of increasing global attention. A Vast and Frozen Land           Greenland is the largest island in the world, more than three times the size of France. With a population of only 56,000, it's one of the most sparsely populated places on Earth. Roughly one-third of the population resides in Nuuk, the capital, while the rest is spread across coastal settlements. Almost no one lives inland and for good reason: roughly 80% of the ...

The Father of Modern Chemistry                  Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, a metriculous experimenter, revolutionized chemistry.  He established the law of conservation of mass, determined that combustion and respiration are caused by chemical reactions with what he named "Oxygen" , and helped systematize chemical nomenclature, among many other accomplishments.  The son of a wealthy Parisian lawyer, Lavoisier completed a law degree in accordance with family wishes.  His real interest, however, was in science, which he pursued with passion while leading a full public life.    Antoine Laurent Lavoisier                         On the basis of his earliest scientific work, mostly in geology, he was elected in 1768, at the early age of 25, to the Academy of Sciences, France's most elite scientific society .  A few years later he married ...

Electronic Fitness Trackers.

Image
Electronic Fitness Trackers The Origin of Fitness Trackers: Fitness Tracker               Fitness trackers are devices that are used by people to keep track of various body parameters like pulse, step detection, heart rate variability, blood oxygenation, body temperature, and such others.  There are wearable as well as non-wearable trackers.  They are aided by the wireless heart rate monitors in the polar watches of the 1980's. Later, mobile phones incorporated 3D accelerometers which measure movement and vibration in a three-dimensional space.  Fitness trackers also track sleep using a process named actigraphy.  It translates wrist movements into sleep patterns. Though it is a useful guide, it is not as accurate as polysomnography, which is used by the experts to measure sleep in a lab, and also monitor brain activity. The process of Fitness Tracking: Fitness Tracker               Wearab...

How do Earphones work? The physics of Sound in Earphones: Introduction:             Initially speakers, and now earphones and headphones, allow us to relish music almost constantly, anytime, and anywhere.  Speakers, one can easily agree, are deplorable in public places and the preference in such cases is earphones.  Your device houses an orchestra, and earphones funnel the music straight into your ears.  A private concert just for you.  A pair of earphones or headphones is simply two speakers that are placed extremely close to your ears, except that they are incredibly small that it impeccably fills an ear's outer void.  For this reason, they are also - although quite seldom - referred to as ear - speakers. Headphones Transducer:               A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form into another.  A pair of earphones is composed of two transducers that conver...

The Invention Story of Barcodes.

The Invention Story of Barcodes:                    Without the application of barcodes, sales at stores would have been a very tedious process.  The barcodes help a lot in effectively keeping an eye over the sold out items in a store.  The brain behind the invention of barcodes should certainly be a 'business' mind. Let us explore the history of the invention of barcodes.  To start with, it is important to know what a barcode is. Barcodes                      Barcodes represent the object to which it is attached. These are machine readable.  The thickness or the width of the parallel lines and the distance between them make the unique pattern of each barcode possible.  Special devices called optical scanners are employed in scanning the barcodes. The Need of Invention:                  Only wh...

Software Localization and Social Justice - Challenges and its future.

Software Localization and Social Justice                Of India's nine hundred and fifty million citizens, nine hundred million citizens are currently excluded from computer use, the Internet, and the World Wide Web (www) by the near-total absence of software in the languages which the majority of Indians speak.  Restated in the Jargon of the computer scientist, there has been virtually no "software localization" to any of the major vernacular languages of India.    Software Localization                The exclusion of almost one-sixth of the world's population from what enthusiasts term " the Information Age " raises questions about politics, culture, and software that are important not only to India, but to the entire world.  I am no India expert, but it is clear that India, the world's largest democracy, is a nation that despite communal conflicts has maintained a vibrant m...
