Human Digestive System: 10 Most Interesting Facts to Know

Human Digestive System One of the unifying characteristics of all living organisms is their ability to process nutrients from the environment into the chemical compounds found within the cells. This processing of nutrients is commonly called metabolism. Plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria have all evolved different strategies for supplying the energy and chemical needs of the organism. Simply stated, digestion is the breakdown of food particles into their fundamental building blocks. As heterotrophic organisms or those that rely on others as a source of energy, animals have evolved a wide range of digestive systems to accommodate their environmental needs. The internal body plan of an animal species is frequently defined by its digestive system. How Human Digestion System Works? The digestive system is not a stand-alone system. The primary digestive organs - the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestine - not only interact to some degree with each other but also receive signals from other organs of the body. The accessory organs - the liver, pancreas, salivary glands, and gall bladder - supply chemicals necessary for nutrient processing. The liver and pancreas are active with other systems of the body as well, such as the endocrine and circulatory systems. The digestive system is partially under the control of the nervous system. But It is also influenced by the hormones secreted by the endocrine system. Read the full article

Origin of Robotics, History of Automation and Modern Robots

Robotics is the science and the study of robots. It deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control and sensory feedback. The word 'robot' means any man-made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed by humans, either automatically, or by remote control. The workers of that factory never rested. They never ate, never slept, or complained about anything. Work, work and more work ... round the clock. But one day, they came out, led a revolution against their masters, and humbled Man. These workers were robots, a figment of the author Karel Capek's imagination from his 1920 play "R.U.R.". However, in 1960, fiction became reality when the first real-life robot made its appearance.  Since then, robots have influenced human life tremendously. Robotics Today, there are robots smart enough to defeat a world chess champion like Gary Kasparov. The robot Deep Blue OIice did it! This post will make fascinating revelations about the world of robots. Most robots today are used to do repetitive actions or jobs considered too dangerous for humans. Robots can be made to look like humans or animals, but this is not always the case. Industrial robots, for example, do not have a human form at all, but they do the jobs that human beings used to do previously. Robots can be big, small, or very, very tiny.

Anatomy of Amphibians | Skeleton, Respiratory System, Food Facts

However there are similarities between the anatomy of amphibians and relevant reptilian ancestors, but they are not the intermediate step in the evolution of reptiles from fishes. Amphibians are found all over the world, except in Antarctica and Greenland. They are found both on land, and in freshwater. Frogs are the common amphibians. You can find frogs in water or near places that have water, like ponds and streams. However, some frogs will never enter the water. They live mainly on land. Then, there are some that live in trees. Some frogs are burrowers. Frogs that live in cold places, hibernate during wintertime. Salamanders are found in North, South and Central America, Europe, and Asia, and some species are found in Africa too. Caecilians are found in swampy places in most tropical parts of the world. Anatomy of Amphibians: Skeleton Amphibian's skeletons are made of bones. They have fewer bones than their fishy ancestors, and over the years, the evolutionary changes in the amphibian family have gone in two directions. The frog family has a broad head, large eye sockets, short spine, no tail, and long hind legs. The caecilian group has skeletons with small tubular skulls, tiny eye sockets, long spines, and no legs at all. The skeletons of salamanders and newts are adapted for a primitive form of walking. A frog's skeleton, on the other hand, is specially adapted for leaping and swimming. The backbone is the base of an amphibian's skeleton and is made of vertebrae. Read the full article

Uranium and Science of Producing Energy using Nuclear Fission

Uranium, a silvery-white metal, was discovered and identified in 1789 by a German chemist, Martin H. Klaproth. This important element is used as fuel in nuclear reactors to generate electricity. It has the atomic number 92, and its atomic symbol is U. Discovery of Nuclear Fission It was in the early 1930s, that scientists discovered that the atom is made up of proton and neutron particles, in addition to electrons. In 1938, two German scientists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman and physicist Lise Meitner of Austria, discovered that they could split the nucleus of a uranium atom by bombarding it with neutrons. This is called fission. As the uranium nucleus split, some of its mass was converted to heat energy. The next step was in 1942, when Enrico Fermi of Italy, noticed that the fission of one uranium atom gave off more neutrons which could in turn split other uranium atoms, starting a chain reaction. This meant that enormous amounts of energy could be produced by this process of nuclear fission. Otto Hahn and Enrico Fermi both won Nobel prizes for their work. Nuclear Chain Reactions Nuclear chain reactions are one of the modern applications of the fission process. The neutrons that are released during fission produce additional fission in at least one other nucleus. This in turn produces more neutrons which again trigger more fission- and thus more neutrons- to set a chain reaction into motion. Read the full article

International Days in September September is the 9th Month of the Modern Calendar and various International Days are celebrated during this month. United Nations celebrates 17 days in September officially but we are listing here 5 most important of them. International Literacy Day - Sep 8th The ability to read and write is one of the chief achievements of Man that led to the development and enhancement of civilization. It is an important skill for an individual's participation in socio-political and cultural discourse. It helps develop one's awareness of one's rights, civil responsibilities, and knowledge of the world. The UN has dedicated a day to celebrating literacy known as the International Literacy Day, which falls on September 8. Universal access to quality education and learning opportunities for people is part of the agenda of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Despite the progress people across the world have made, there still persist literacy challenges in certain parts of the world. Literacy has become an important requirement for livelihood, especially in the context of advanced employment schemes. The UN provides opportunities to achieve literacy for all young people and adults who lack these skills. International Literacy Day focuses on the competencies required for employment, careers, and livelihoods along with skills. International Read the full article

20 Greatest English Writers of Modern Literature

Best English Writers of Modern English Literature When we look into the Modern period of English Literature, It is the end of the long reign of Queen Victoria which was about 1901 and after stability which the country had so long enjoyed after the beginning of the 20th century through roughly 1965. So the modern period we can say came around the end of the 19th century and almost after the beginning of the 20th century mostly during WW1. We have listed 20 Most prominent figures of English Literature that belonged to England or Scotland. If we have missed someone, please do let us know in the comments. Virginia Woolf - Re-inventor of the novel  The English novelist, critic, and essayist Virginia Woolf ranks as one of England's most distinguished English writers of the middle part of the twentieth century. Her novels can perhaps best be described as impressionistic, which is a literary style that attempts to inspire impressions rather than recreating reality. In 1917, for amusement, she and her husband Leonard Woolf founded the Hogarth Press by setting and hand printing on an old press 'Two Stories' by 'L. and V. Woolf.' The volume was a success, and over the years they published many important books. Hogarth Press published the best and most original work that came to its attention, and the Woolfs as publishers favored young and unknown writers. Virginia Woolf herself was the author of about fifteen books. Read the full article

Shakespeare - The Uncrowned King of English Literature

Shakespeare - the uncrowned king of English literature Who has not heard of William Shakespeare? He was an English poet, dramatist, and actor, and considered by many to be the uncrowned king of English literature. Nothing is known for certain about Shakespeare's early years. There are stories that he joined a theatrical company, or that he worked as a schoolteacher. Whatever the case, Shakespeare had become known as a dramatist and an actor in London by 1592. Some of his early works include 'Titus Andronicus', and 'The Two Gentleman of Verona'. Shakespeare published his first work in 1593, which was the narrative poem, Venus and Adonis. Later, he earned great praise for his sonnets. A sonnet is a type of poem that has three four-line sections with a pair of lines at the end, all following a special rhyming scheme. He worked with a group as a dramatist, an actor, and a part-owner for many years. In 1599, the company built the Globe, a theatre near London. Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest tragic and comic works around this time. He created Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, as well as Twelfth Night, and Measure for Measure here. Popularity of Shakespeare Shakespeare's works were so popular that even Queen Elizabeth I of England had them performed for her. Despite having been written hundreds of years ago, Shakespeare's work remains popular because of his engaging characters, interesting plots, and artful dialogues. Read the full article
