Smartphone to predict earthquakes?

Of smartphone data and physical fitness criteria (Fitness Tracker) matching technology to predict earthquakes. US scientists said. Their research was published in the journal Science.Nyapa Valley in California last year, six-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale occurred. At the time of creating installment jobonera Fitness Tracker Sensors (sentient), Berkeley, Oakland and San Jose area, the human body is able to identify changes bhukampanajanita. It can be seen, in the early hours of the earthquake is a moment in the human sleep patterns changed drastically.But the question is, Smartphones & Fitness Tracker collected with the help of these data to predict what's important? United States Geological Survey (USGS), the researchers say, 'Yes'. Smartphone GPS (Global Positioning System) technology is sensitive sensor. They can identify any of the sudden change. Together to identify the changes of the smartphone, then it will be an earthquake early warning.USGS scientist Benjamin Brooks said, could imagine that one sunny day in a cafe in the Portland area on the table to keep the smartphone. Then they threw a big earthquake signals. The swaying of the city before the people would be able to take precautionary measures.Scientists examined using a computer model, the smartphone data before and after the earthquake, and just how it is. Computer models of the Hayward fault zone of the San Francisco earthquake ripped through seven levels fabulous and earthquake in Japan in 011 was a comparative analysis of actual facts and figures. It can be seen, at least five of the smartphone user is ready to start a major earthquake has a chance to learn from the earlier period. Densely populated areas, resulting in a warning signs can be given five seconds before the crash. However, very little seems to five

seconds, but the researchers said, the signal is playing, the gas-disconnections and fire brigade five seconds is enough for garage door opener.
For researchers to predict natural disasters of various data collection and analysis are increasingly more important. Previous studies, reached the scene after an earthquake, data collection and data analysis through the personal experiences of the various forecasts indicate. The latest study on the usefulness of smartphones that are being investigated. Brooks said the severity of the damage caused by an earthquake is imminent-and avoid situations that can be very rewarding satarkasanketai few seconds. Sophisticated system that automatically opens the door to the fire stations, gas lines will be lost and went down to the desk and able to defend any of the surrounding residents. After getting such a situation that no one predicted it would make every effort to inform others immediately.The researchers said the Internet is currently a lot of the nervous system in the world. Quick facts about earthquakes authorities and the general public on the Internet to get help if you want to reach.Source: New Scientist and iupiai.

The world's smallest computer

Computer

At one time the computer would be the size of the house, but the needle tip kampiutarerai size may be smaller now been turned into! Computers now become equal to one millimeter cube. Stories Senate technical website.University of Michigan researchers have created a total of micro-contained on this computer. For more than a decade of Michigan Computer Science department is working on the computer. Internet connection in all of the facilities or the Internet of Things (IOTO) that is as big as the computer associated with the University of Michigan to the smaller size of the group is working on the computer. Various types of micro computer can be used in medical work, and industrial sectors.Dag, a senior curator at the Computer History Museum in California spaisara Internet of Things, said about the idea of ​​a world in which IOTO when every known product is the intelligence. One of the things that each of the integrated circuit components in a network can communicate with each other. "Micro, Small and see what happens if the computer can make the picture, can measure the temperature and pressure. This small computer injected into the human body, such as ECG or blood pressure can be done. In addition to the oil industry can be used micro total. To oil this computer will be able to find new oil sources. The key thing is that the wallet is sometimes added to the total if you can not find out what you can micro them.Researchers said, micro motake more efficient to make the smaller size of the battery, they are working. The computer, however, the keyboard, mouse, or do not display. This computer programming and the charge light on the process. Flash using high frequency data is sent to the computer. By processing the data through the radio frequency micro sends the central computer.Researchers Micro Smart Dust smaller as the size of the aggregate is planning to bring to market.

Even if the agreement is not obtained

Politic

UN sanctions on Iran if the final agreement will be withdrawn. And even if it did not. Because they will be able to start immediately Tehran's nuclear program.

US financial growth slows in Q4

U.S.A.

US financial growth cooled in the fourth quarter as previously reported and after-tax corporate profits took a hit from a strong dollar, which could undermine future business spending.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.2 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said on March 27 in its third estimate of GDP. That was unrevised from the forecast the government published February.

Businesses throttled back on inventory and equipment investment, but robust consumer spending limited the slowdown in the pace of activity. The economy grew at a 5 percent rate in the third quarter.

After-tax corporate profits declined at a 1.6 percent rate last quarter after at increasing at a 4.7 percent pace in the third quarter. Corporate profits from outside the United States fell at an 8.8 percent rate, the steepest decline since the 2007 – 2009 recessions.

“Slower profit growth could mean slower investment in the coming mothers,” said Thomas Costerg, an economist at Standard Chartered in New York.

Multinationals such as technology giant Intel Corp, industrial conglomerate Honeywell and Procter and Gamble, the world’s largest household products maker, have warned that the dollar will hunt their profits this year. 

The dollar gained 7.8 cents against the currencies of the main US trading partners between June and December.

For all of 2014, after-tax corporate profits fell 8.3 percent, the largest annual drop since 2008.

Economists had expected fourth-quarter growth would be revised up to a 2.4 percent rate and after-tax corporate profits would rise at a 1 percent pace.

US stocks were trading marginally higher, as investors bet that weaker growth data would delay a Federal Reserve interest rate increase until later in 2015. The dollar dipped against a basket of currencies, while prices for US Treasuries rose.

A separate report showed consumer sentiment slipped in March, adding to signs that the moderate pace of economic expansion persisted through the first quarter.

The University of Michigan said its consumer sentiment index fell to 93 this month from a reading of 95.4 in February.

The sturdy dollar, lingering weakness in Europe and Asia, harsh winter weather in the United States and busy US West Coast ports dampened activity in the first two months of the year.

With temperatures rising, there are signs of some pick-up in activity. But the dollar will likely provide a challenge for domestic manufacturers. First-quarter growth estimates range between a 0.9 percent and 1.4 percent rate.

“The impact of dollar strength and energy price declines may prove too much for GDP to hit the long-awaited 3 percent threshold in 2015, leaving another year of mid-2 percent growth in its wake.” Said Jay Morelock , an economist at FTN Financial in New York.

Businesses accumulated $80 billion worth of inventory in the fourth quarter, less than the $88.4 billion the government had estimated February.

As a result, inventories subtracted 0.10 percentage points from GDP growth in the fourth quarter. Restocking was previously reported to have added 0.1 percentage points to output.

The weak pace of restocking, however, removes the threat  of an inventory overhang, giving business scope to place more orders for goods, which should help to stimulate manufacturing.

Business investment in equipment was revised to show it rising at a 0.6 percent rate instead of the previously reported 0.9 percent pace, likely reflecting the impact of the strong dollar and lower crude oil prices, which have caused a drop in drilling and exploration activity.

But consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity, increased at a 4.4 percent rate in the fourth quarter instead February.

Consumer spending, however, moderated early in the first quarter as cold and snowy weather kept shoppers at home. Households also appear to have opted to save the bulk of their savings from lower gasoline prices.

Despite slower global demand, export growth was revised higher. But with consumer spending so strong, more imports than previously estimated flowed into the country, resulting in a trade deficit that weighed on GDP growth.

Trade lopped off 1.03 percentage points instead of the 1.15 points reported February

Ganges Barrage Project to be a blessing for BD: Experts

Sundarbans

The proposed Ganges Barrage Project will be a blessing for Bangladesh since it is a low riparian area now faces water related problem for long, according to experts, reports, USB.

Noted water expert Prof Ainun Nishat said the Gangers Barrage Project should be implemented as soon possible to project the country’s southwestern region, including the world’s largest mangrove forest Sundarbans from salinity intrusion.

The government has already completed the feasibility study and design of the long-cherished proposed 2.1 km-long Ganger Barrage Project at Pangsha of Rajbari district; around 98 kilometers downstream from the Farakka Barrage build on the common Ganges River in the Paschimbanga state of India.

The proposed project will have a reservoir for flow augmentation of water and wet season over the Ganges dependent area. The project will meet the true, fisheries, ecosystems and navigation, experts and officials say.

Director (water resources) of Dhaka based Center forEnvironmental and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS) M Sarfaraz Wahed said Bangladesh will be benefited from the project in all be reduced considerably and all dead rivers of the region will be recharged after implementation of the project.

He said the Gorai river system with its augmented flow will provide an improved navigational route to and from the country’s second seaport, Mongla.

Environmental expert Dr Atiq Rahaman said the Ganges Barrage is a long-standing project, which was discussed in the last several decades.

“Obviously, Bangladesh will be benefited from the barrage project, but it’s urgent to conduct vigorous environmental, social and climate impact assessments before implementation of the project,” he said.

President Obama faces tough sell in own party on trade deals

Obama

WASHINGTON, Mar 28 (Xinhua): For the first time in his six years in the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama is facing a tougher sell to his fellow Democrats rather than pro-trade Republicans as the administration steps up efforts to push for ambitious trade agenda this year.

The administration aims to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade talks with 11 other countries in the Asia-Pacific region and make substantial progress in the Trans- Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations with the European Union in 2015, cementing a trade legacy before public attention shifts to the 2016 presidential election.

Which officials of the Obama administration have touted new trade deals with Asia and Europe as a means to create jobs and write the rules of international trade, many liberal Democrats and activists from labor unions remain skeptical, expressing concerns that past trade deals have hurt U.S. workers and increased income inequality.

“The administration’s focus now is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but they have not done a very good job persuading the Congress. We’re seeing a lot of opposition in the Congress to the TPP and to the trade promotion authority (TPA),” C. Fred Bergsten, senior fellow and director emeritus of the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), told Xinhua.

The TPA, also known as Fast Track, empowers the president to negotiate trade deals and then the president to negotiate trade deals and then the president to negotiate trade deals and then present them to Congress for up-or-down votes, with no amendments allowed. Without such authority, many trade analysts say, Obama’s hopes to enact trade deals before he leaves office would be doomed.

“I think the Obama administration has made very clear that they would like to see the passage of trade promotion authority before the conclusion of the Trans-Partnership,” said Jeffrey Schott, senior fellow at the PIIE who leads the institutional authority in this area.

Regarding prospects for the passage of TPA, Bergsten said, “It’s still somewhat up in the air more in the House than the Senate…. That’s were explaining the importance of trade to U.S. economy, the importance of trade to U.S. foreign policy, and why TPP, hopefully a broader agreement in Asia beyond that, is very much in U.S. interests.”

U.S. Trade Representative Mike Forman, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, Labor Secretary Tom Perez  and other cabinet officials have held several classified meetings with House Democrats on TPP negotiations in recent weeks, in a bid to boost support for the Democratic Party.
