Study proves that dogs get jealous!

July 24, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

Darwin, the evolutionary biologist made an observation in 1871 that dogs feel jealous of their master’s affection towards other creatures. Since then there has been significant debate over the idea of jealousy in dogs and animals in general. In fact, its not as if we have an intricate understanding of why humans feel jealousy and how the mind exactly operates under such a mental state.

However, interestingly, experts at the University of California discovered that dogs had a higher chance of pushing their owners if they felt they were being excluded from their owner’s affection. The lead researcher Professor Christine Harris suggests that the study doesn’t only prove that dogs exhibit jealous behavior but also that they seek to break up the connection between the owner and the perceived rival. She also disagrees with the idea the jealousy is a social construction and is limited to humans, she says that the study suggests that animals besides us feel a strong sense of distress whenever a seeming rival takes a loved one’s affection.

The study used an adapted test for six month old babies to monitor the reaction of 36 dogs. The owner would ignore the dog and aim to give affection to a stuffed dog which could bark and wag its tail. The dogs were filmed and the recording shows a variety of behaviors that are indicative of a jealous feeling. The aggression displayed by most of the dogs was – according to the researchers – suggestive of the fact that they thought the stuffed animal was a real dog and in comparable instances of inanimate objects like a Halloween bucket similar aggression was not exhibited.

Prof Harris said that they couldn’t really speak to the dogs but their behavior was indicative of the fact that they felt like they needed to protect an important social relationship.

This not only suggests that animals can express feelings of jealousy but also indicates towards a more complex cognition in dogs. It shows that they are capable of complex emotions and might not be as simple minded as many humans believe. It might also be interesting to see whether other animals exhibit the same behavior and a comparison between much conditioned animals who are tamed like dogs and other wilder animals which are conditioned would also perhaps conclusively tell us whether animals inherently have these complicated cognitive processes or if they learn to act the way they do because of years of conditioning with humans.

Google Will Face Privacy Lawsuit in U.S filed by Users

July 23, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Google’s appeal to dismiss the privacy law suit has been rejected on Tuesday. Google now has to confront fraud and violation of contract case filed by Android users who downloaded at least one app from it. Google has forwarded his users data to different advertising companies without their consent.

The part of court case which includes complains of customers who left Google after its change of policy is rebuffed. This law suit occurred on March 1, 2012 when Google altered its rules and instead of making various regulations, it made merely one for all which stated that user’s data is accessible to some advertising companies. This data is collected from platforms such as gmail, Google Maps and YouTube.

Users objected that Google made these changes without giving any option and notifying them. Google did it in contemplation of getting advertisement profits like numerous other companies. Truth is that in the first quarter Google’s revenue increased till 90 percent due to this modification in policies.

On the other hand, customers considered it extremely dangerous since all their confidential information like name, residence, and email address has been given to some unknown advertising company.

Bats are not as blind as we believe.

July 23, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Science has proved that bats utilize polarization of the sun set to familiarize their internal magnetic compasses before they go out to prey in the dark. Birds are famous to make use of polarized light of the sky to adjust their compass mechanism. Several other animals that have orient mechanism use the arrangement of stars, potency and productivity of Earth’s magnet field.

ImageGenThe above research has published in Nature communication. This mechanism of birds is only active till the distance of 165 feet. They use their vision sense to find direction longer than 165 feet.

This process of polarization is very powerful at the time of sun rise and sun set. The one end of this light point towards north and the second end point to the south.

Researchers performed an experiment with the help of 70 female bats. They took them from their home cave and permitted them to watch the sunset from their experimental boxes. All those boxes were fitted with different light filters. Then when the bats were set free, 90% headed home whereas, the other 10 percent flew to somewhere else.

Through this research it can be concluded that polarization rays of sun provide more useful things to bats than the sun’s position in the sky.

Barrack Obama Celebrated 46th Moon Walk Anniversary.

July 23, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Barrack Obama met two of those 11 Apollo members to celebrate 45th anniversary of the first moon walk. President arranges a private meeting with the wives of members who are no longer in this world.

article-2193587-14B1483A000005DC-914_634x607 As we all know, that Neil Armstrong died two years ago therefore, President also met his wife. He greeted the widows of other crew member as well like Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin. Obama said that 45 years ago, U.S left a mark in the time of history because of these 11 people. It was indeed a proud moment for not only United state but for the entire humanity. He showed gratitude towards those 11 people who are now role models for many others. Furthermore, he said that today U.S is strong because of all the people who made an effort for this Apollo program.

Obama has also announced some future plans of NASA which includes a mission to send a man to planet Mars. He said that some other ground breaking researches are in the pipe line now.

Physics Constructal Law Describes Airplane Evolution

July 23, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

The physics has the answer of the question, how airplanes evolved. According to a study conducted by Adrian Bejan, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Duke University ,a law of physics can describe the evolution of passenger airplanes from propeller-driven DC-3s of yore to today’s behemoth Boeing 787s. The law, has written down two decades ago, will also give insight to air plane companies how to improve their planes. It is certainly difficult mission to find out how the air planes have evolved since it took place in several life times. The exact answers to all these queries are in the constructal law that was developed by Began in 1996. It state that for a system to stay alive, it ought to develop its system.

The constructal law also showed principles of chief design features of an air craft, the engine mass has remained proportional to the body size, the wing size has been tied to the fuselage length, and the fuel load has grown in step with the total weight.

To put these theories of air plane design into operation, he made a panel with Jordan Charles, a researcher and development engineer, and Sylvie Lorente, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Toulouse, to make a successful commercial air plane. They planned thousands of statistics that included year of introduction, size, cruising speed, engine weight, fuel weight, range, wingspan and fuselage length, many patterns began to come into view.
