BIG DATA -THE NEW SCIENCE

'Big data' is the new science of understanding and predicting human behavior by studying large volumes of unstructured data.  Big data is also known as 'predictive analytics'. '.Analyzing Twitter posts, Facebook feeds, eBay searches, GPS trackers, and ATM machines are some big data examples. Studying security videos, traffic data, weather patterns, flight arrivals, cell phone tower logs, and heart rate trackers are other forms. Big data is a messy new science that changes weekly, and only a few experts understand it all.    Most big data projects are very obscure, there are successful examples of big data affecting the everyday life of individuals, companies, and governments: Predicting virus outbreaks: by studying socio-political data, weather and climate data, and hospital/clinical data, these scientists are now predicting dengue fever outbreaks with 4 weeks advance notice. Homicide Watch:  this big data project profiles mu...

ELECTRIC ELLS

The most important fact to know about an electric eel is that it is not an eel. Although it has an elongated body like an eel, the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is actually a type of knifefish.   The electric eel was first described by Linnaeus in 1766 and since then, has been reclassified several times. At present, the electric eel is the only species in its genus. It is only found in muddy, shallow waters surrounding the Amazon and Orinoco rivers in South America.   Electric eels have cylindrical bodies, up to 2 meters (about 8 feet) in length. An adult may weigh 20 kilograms (44 pounds), with males being much smaller than females. They come in a range of colors, including purple, gray, blue, black, or white. The fish lack scales and have poor While the fish live in water and possess gills, they breathe air. An electric eel needs to rise to the surface and inhale about once every ten minutes. Electric eels are solitary creature...

HUMAN BODY -PITUITARY GLAND

The pituitary gland is a small endocrine organ that controls a multitude of important functions in the body. It is divided into an anterior lobe, intermediate zone, and posterior lobe, all of which are involved in either hormone production or hormone secretion.  The pituitary gland is termed the "Master Gland" because it directs other organs and endocrine glands to either suppress or induce hormone production. Hypothalamus-Pituitary Complex The pituitary gland and hypothalamus are closely connected both structurally and functionally. The hypothalamus is an important brain structure that has both nervous system and endocrine system function. It serves as a link between the two systems translating nervous system messages into endocrine hormon es. The posterior pituitary is composed of axons that extend from the neurons of the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary also stores hypothalmic hormones. Blood vessel connections between the hypoth...

GENETIC ADVANCES -ANIMAL CLONING

To  produced  a clone   of   an  animal  a sample  of  the  DNA  must  be used  .Since  each   body  cell  contains  a complete  DNA  genome,this  is easily  obtained .This  DNA has  to  be   introduced  into  an  ovum (egg)  of another  animal  of  same  species.after  the  ovum's  original   DNA  is  extracted .The  egg  is   then   inserted  into  a surrogate  animal's  womb  and pregnancy  proceeds  as normal.Although  every  body cell  contains  complete  genome ,it  will normally  activate  only  those   genes  necessary for its  own body  parts.-for example kidney,brain,or  bone.The  other gene  are not n...

HUMAN BODY -HEART

Heart   is  a  hollow  muscular   organ in  the  middle  of the  chest.It  pumps  blood   around   the   body  each  time  it   beats  slowly.Its  weight  is  approximately  300  gram.When   the  human  body  is  at  rest ,the   heart  beats  between   60  and  80  times  a  minute,while  during  exercise or  at  the  time  of stress   or  excitement,  the  rate  may  increase  to  200 beats  a  minute.
