When we imagine lasers, we may conjure up something in science fiction. Lasers, however, can be found in real-world industry, making cutting and processing objects much easier in industry. In laser material processing, a laser will make contact with an object and changes to that object will occur, such as through the soaking up of photons, which are particles of light emitted from the laser. These particles will be changed into heat energy.How...more
Gas poses a silent threat that can be fatal if undetected. Individuals are often under the impression that they will easily be able to notice the presence of a harmful gas through smell however poisonous gases like carbon monoxide can be odourless, tasteless and colourless. Poisonous gases are also commonly present as by-products of a wide range of manufacturing processes. Gas detectors are available for different industrial and domestic...more
Cataracts form in the lens of the eye - a biconvex structure that is essentially made up of water and proteins. These proteins are arranged in a very specific way that enables the lens to be kept clear and light to pass through it. However, if the proteins become damaged a cataract may start to form. And it is a process known as glycation that is a major culprit when it comes to protein damage.Glycation is the reaction that occurs when simple sugar molecules such as fructose and glucose become attached (bind) to proteins (or lipid fats) without the controlling action of an enzyme. This process, also called non-enzymatic glycosylation, results in the formation of rogue molecules known as advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). These AGEs interact with adjacent proteins (cross link) which results in impaired function, free radical formation and accelerated aging. AGEs are therefore linked to many age-related diseases and conditions including the development of senile cataracts.Glycation is of particular concern to diabetics who already suffer from the effects of poor glucose control. Certainly, being diabetic increases your chances of developing cataracts due to increased glycation...more

Once upon a time, the PC was king, then its crown (and reign) was stolen by the laptop; in its turn, the laptop was defeated by the notebook, then the new kid on the block was the netbook, but now, there's a new guy in town: the tablet netbook.Ladies and gents, welcome the technology world's latest offspring: every gadgeteer's dream come true, the perfect combination of mobility, power, storing capacity, sleekness and flexibility.In order to have a clear view on the subject at hand, we should first do a recap of this marvel's forerunners. In the 1970's, Alan Kay envisioned a "personal, portable information manipulator" that he called the "Dynabook". Laptops' screens are at least 11 inches wide, thus permitting for full-size keyboards to be added.As these products were pretty heavy to carry around, the netbook was born a few years later: a slimmer and lighter laptop, also less expensive, the only drawbacks being on the CPU side. As such, the netbook soon took center stage, a combination of both its predecessors but with added portability (being smaller and lighter) and power (due to the advancements in the field: smaller and more potent chips).But not even the netbook...more
