Scientists unlock a ‘microbial Pompeii’




An international team of researchers have discovered a ‘microbial Pompeii’ preserved on the teeth of skeletons around 1,000 years old.

The key to the discovery is the dental calculus (plaque) which preserves bacteria and microscopic particles of food on the surfaces of teeth, effectively creating a mineral tomb for microbiomes.
The research team discovered that the ancient human oral cavity carries numerous opportunistic pathogens and that periodontal disease is caused by the same bacteria today as in the past, despite major changes in human diet and hygiene.
The researchers discovered that the ancient human oral microbiome already contained the basic genetic machinery for antibiotic resistance more than eight centuries before the invention of the first therapeutic antibiotics in the 1940s. As well as health information, the scientists recovered dietary DNA from ancient dental calculus, allowing the identification of dietary components, such as vegetables, that leave few traces in the archaeological record.

MALARIA breakthrough by Scots researchers


"
A study by scientists at Glasgow University and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, near Cambridge, has unlocked the long-standing mystery of how the malaria parasite initiates the process of passing from human to human.
Malaria is transmitted to people through the bites of mosquitoes which have themselves been infected by the Plasmodium parasites that cause the disease.
The team has identified a single regulatory protein which acts as the “master switch” that triggers the development of male and female sexual forms – known as gametocytes – of the malaria parasite.
If the malaria parasite is unable to take that crucial sexual developmental step, then transmission of the disease can no longer take place.
The researchers spent more than...MORE

Robots 'smarter than humans within 15 years', predicts Google's artificial intelligence chief

http://www.mirror.co...7#ixzz2uJ7ibYVg

"
Ray Kurzweil, considered by many to be the world’s leading expert on AI, says by 2029 computers will be more intelligent than mankind and will be able to learn from experience, crack jokes, tell stories and even flirt.
He has been hired by the internet giantwith the task of producing a search engine that responds to natural language and, in the end, knows us better than we know ourselves.
The 66-year-old believes the Turing test - the moment at which a computer will exhibit intelligent behaviour equal to or indistinguishable from that of a human – will be passed in 2029.
He said: “In 1999 we had a conference of AI experts and we took a poll by hand about when you think the Turing test would be passed. The consensus was hundreds of years. And a pretty good contingent thought that it would never be done.
“And today, I’m pretty much at the median of what AI experts think and the public is kind of with them.

HUNT ACCELERATES FOR GRAVITY WAVES.

-revolutionary new technologies will follow.



"For the first time we have firm predictions: both the strength and the number of signals. No longer are we hoping for rare and unknown events.

We will be monitoring a significant volume of the universe and for the first time we can be confident that we will "listen" to the coalescence of binary neutron star systems and the formation of black holes.

Once these detectors reach full sensitivity we should hear signals almost once a week. Exactly when we will reach this point, no one knows. We have to learn how to operate the vast and complex machines.

If you want to place bets on the date of first detection of some gravity wave then some physicists would bet on 2016, probably the majority would bet 2017. A few pessimists would say that we will discover unexpected problems that might take a few years to solve." MORE

It is Quantum Archaeology's thesis that we can retrieve anyone who has died, revive them in their kin groups, and bring them up to day with technology without ruining their continuing lives.

Ways and customs of the past and present will mix and shape a joint future. Nothing has been lost, and archaeology s just beginning.

In the unlikely event we are the most advanced people in our universe, we can play a strong role in setting its compassionate wise laws of technology.

Gladiator School Discovery Reveals Hard Lives of Ancient Warriors





"Discovered at the site of Carnuntum outside Vienna, Austria, the gladiatorial school, or ludus gladiatorius, is the first one discovered outside the city of Rome. Now hidden beneath a pasture, the gladiator school was entirely mapped with noninvasive earth-sensing technologies. (See "Gladiator Training Camp.")

The discovery, reported Tuesday evening by the journal Antiquity, makes clear what sort of lives these famous ancient warriors led during the second century A.D. in the Roman Empire.

"It was a prison; they were prisoners," says University of Vienna archaeologist Wolfgang Neubauer, who led the study team. "They lived in cells, in a fortress with only one gate out."

The discovery shows that even outside Rome gladiators were "big business," Neubauer says. At least 80..." MORE

Robots now have a sense of taste. A team of researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona announced earlier this month that it had created a robot tongue that difference between styles of beer, from a lager to a double malt.
Let that sink in for a second: There’s a robot out there with a more sophisticated drinking palette than the average bloke at the bar.
The researchers’ robotic “tongue” utilizes an array of sensors that can pick up different chemicals. It’s actually very similar to its human counterpart, where tastebuds (mounds of sensory flesh) pick up taste from the chemical signatures from food. In robots, it’s analogous to having taste." MORE

US military's work on brain implants

DARPA, at the behest of the US Department of Defense, is developing a black box brain implant — an implant that will be wired into a soldier’s brain and record their memories. If the soldier then suffers memory loss due to brain injury, the implant will then be used to restore those memories. The same implant could also be used during training or in the line of duty, too — as we’ve reported on in the past, stimulating the right regions of the brain can improve how quickly you learn new skills, reduce your reaction times, and more.
The project, which DARPA has wittily named Restoring Active Memory..."

How Hackers May Control Your Brain In The Future

Increasing brain acidity may slow down anxiety

"Scientists have found a new target to treat anxiety disorder.
Increasing acidity in the brain's emotional control centre can reduce anxiety, according to a new research.
At the cellular level, anxiety disorders are associated with heightened activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the brain which is known to play a central role in emotional behaviour.
Many cells in the BLA possess acid-sensing ion channels called 'ASIC1a' that respond to pH changes in the environment outside of the cell.
Maria Braga and colleagues at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences - a health science university run by the US federal government - found that activating 'ASIC1a' decreased the activity of nearby cells and reduced anxiety-like behaviour in animals.
"It suggests that activating these channels, specifically in fear-related areas such as the amygdala, may be a key to regulating anxiety," explained Anantha Shekhar from Indiana University who was not involved in this study.
"Developing specific drugs that can stimulate these channels could provide a new way to treat anxiety and fear disorders such a post-traumatic stress and panic disorders," she stated.
To determine the effect, Braga's group bathed BLA cells in an acidic solution in the laboratory and measured the signals sent to nearby cells.
Lowering the pH of the solution decreased the activity of cells in the BLA." MORE

Motion Capture Breakthrough



"So far, film studios have had to put in huge amounts of effort to set monsters, superheroes, fairies or other virtual characters into real feature film scenes. Within the so-called motion capturing process, real actors wear skintight suits with markers on them. These suits reflect infrared light that is emitted and captured by special cameras. Subsequent to this, the movements of the actors are rendered with the aid of software into animated characters. The most popular example of this is “Gollum” from the film Lord of the Rings, played by Andy Serkis.

Nils Hasler and Carsten Stoll, two researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbruecken, developed a method that works without markers. It immediately transfers actors’ movements to the virtual characters in near real-time." MORE

Clues Unearthed in an Ancient Whale Graveyard




February 25, 2014
Mass strandings of whales have puzzled people since Aristotle. Modern-day strandings can be investigated and their causes, often human-related, identified. Events that happened millions of years ago, however, are far harder to analyze—frequently leaving their cause a mystery. A team of Smithsonian and Chilean scientists examined a large fossil site of ancient marine mammal skeletons in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile—the first definitive example of repeated mass strandings of marine mammals in the fossil record. The site reflected four distinct strandings over time, indicating a repeated and similar cause: toxic algae. The team’s findings will be published Feb. 26 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B."

LIGHT COMPUTING APPROACHES


"
New York, Feb 26: Led by an Indian-origin physicist, a team of researchers in the US has created novel devices that hold promise to make your computer work as the speed of light, literally.
The devices integrate both optical and electronic signals to perform the most elementary computational operations - processing billions of computational steps to produce even the simplest outputs.
“Imagine if every one of those steps could be made just a tiny bit more efficient with light. It would save precious nanoseconds,” explained Swastik Kar, assistant professor of physics at Boston-based Northeastern University.
Since light is extremely fast, the new devices represent a critical breakthrough in making a faster dream computer - in which the processing is done using electrical signals and the signal transfer is done by optics - a reality.
Using graphene, a carbon-based material known for its strength and conductivity, and mechanics of carbon nanotubes, Kar and his colleague Yung Joon Jung discovered that light-induced electrical currents rise much more sharply at the intersection of carbon nanotubes and silicon - compared to the intersection of silicon and a metal as in traditional devices."

"ElMindA’s Brain Network Activation (BNA) takes cognitive-electrophysiology (ERPs) to a new frontier, unparalleled by any other test. Next week, roughly 14,000 people will be able to learn more about this breakthrough technology at the 2014 AIPAC Policy Conference from March 2-4. ElMindA was selected to exhibit its technology over hundreds of other Israeli companies.
Ronen Gadot, CEO of ElMindA, explained in an interview with JNS.org that the seeds for the company were planted 35 years ago, with the preliminary research done by Ben-Gurion University Professor Amir Geva, a graduate of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. He said the BNA technology is based on non-invasive recordings of multi-channel electrocephalography (EEG) event-related potentials (ERPs), and a comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis of such recordings. The BNA algorithms use innovative sets of signal processing, pattern recognition, clustering, and machine-learning techniques to seek and map activated neural pathways in task-related data points with respect to multiple dimensions, including time, location, amplitude, and frequency. The BNA platform architecture is based on three elements: a data acquisition site, BNA analysis software, and cloud-based big-data management and reporting tools." MORE
