Smoking Shrinks Your Brain: Study

Health Tips

Long-term smoking could cause thinning of a vital brain part in which critical cognitive functions such as memory, language and perception take place, a new study has warned.

Smoking appears to accelerate the thinning of the brain’s cortex, the outer layer of the brain. A thinner brain cortex is associated with adult cognitive decline.

“Smokers should be informed that cigarettes could hasten the thinning of the brain’s cortex, which could lead to cognitive deterioration,” said the study’s lead author Sherif Karama, assistant professor of psychiatry at the McGill University in Canada.

Stopping smoking helps to restore at least part of the cortex’s thickness, the findings showed.

Health Tips For Man The study involved 244 male and 260 female participants with average age of 73. All the participants were examined as children in 1947 as part of the Scottish Mental Survey.

“We found that current and ex-smokers had, at age 73, many areas of thinner brain cortex than those that never smoked. Subjects who stopped smoking seem to partially recover their cortical thickness for each year without smoking,” Karama pointed out Latest Health News.

Red Wine & Peanuts Can Help Prevent Memory loss

The apparent recovery process is slow, however, and incomplete. Heavy ex-smokers in the study who had given up smoking for more than 25 years still had a thinner cortex, the study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. Read More. http://goo.gl/2AqtaV

Apple Just Became The world’s First Over $700 Billion Company

International News San Francisco Shares of tech giant Apple surpassed $122, making the firm the first company in world history to exceed $700 billion in capitalisation at the close of a trading day.

The Cupertino, California-based company had exceeded $700 billion in capitalisation on a previous occasion, but this is the first time that it remained above that level at the close of trading Tuesday.

Apple’s value at the close on Wall Street stood at $710.7 billion.

Investors use stock market capitalisation, which is calculated by multiplying the price of one share at the day’s market close by the total number of outstanding shares, to determine the value of a company.

International Business News The value of the firm is almost double that of the three next largest companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500.

Oil major Exxon Mobil, the second largest company in the world, is valued at $385 billion, while Berkshire Hathaway weighs in at $370 billion and Microsoft at $349 billion.

Apple surpassed $600 billion in capitalisation in August 2012, after moving above $500 billion the previous February World Business News.

Most analysts believe that Apple shares are headed still higher. Some, like Ben Retizes with Barclays, predict that the tech firm’s shares will continue rising to the $150 level.

Wrap Your Smartphone Around Your Wrist Soon

Imagine Wrapping Your Phone Around Your Wrist when you go for a jog or folding your computer to fit in a pocket.

Researchers from South Korea have taken a new step toward more bendable devices by manufacturing a thin film that keeps its useful electric and magnetic properties even when highly curved paving the way for potential uses in wearable devices.

Latest Mobile Technology A team of Physicists and engineers from South Korea took the same approach with bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) one of the most promising materials whose electronic properties can be controlled by a magnetic field and vice versa.

Such materials are called multiferroics and attract interest for applications like energy efficient, instant-on computing.

The researchers synthesised nanoparticles of bismuth ferrite and mixed them into a polymer solution. The solution was dried in a series of steps at increasing temperatures to produce a thin, flexible film.

When the researchers tested the electric and magnetic properties of the film, they found that their new material did much more than preserving the useful properties of bulk bismuth ferrite it actually made them better.

The improved properties remained even as the film was curved into a cylindrical shape. “Bulk bismuth ferrite has crucial problems for some applications such as a high leakage current which hinders the strong electric properties,” said YoungPak Lee, professor at the Hanyang University in Seoul South Korea Smart Phone News

Latest Information Technology News

Flexible multiferrorics could enable new wearable devices such as health monitoring equipment or virtual reality attire.

These materials could be used in high-density, energy efficient memory and switches in such devices, he noted. The paper was published in the journal Applied Physics Letters. Read More. http://goo.gl/7qzEZa

Global Sea Ice Diminishing: NASA Study

Latest News The gains from Global Sea Ice increase in Antarctica do not cancel out the loss from the accelerated decrease in Global Snow & Ice Conditions Arctic sea ice of the last decades, a study by NASA has found.

As a whole, the planet has been shedding sea ice at an average annual rate of 35,000 square kilometers since 1979, the findings showed.

“Even though Antarctic sea ice reached a new record maximum this past September, Global Sea Ice is still decreasing,” said author of the study Claire Parkinson, climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“That is because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice,” Parkinson explained.

Latest News And Updates The researcher used data collected by NASA and US Department of Defense satellites for her study spanning from November 1978 to December 2013.

Over the 35-year period, the global ice decrease has accelerated: in the first half of the record (1979-96), the sea ice loss was about 21,500 square kilometers per year.

This rate more than doubled for the second half of the period (1996 to 2013), when there was an average loss of 50,500 square kilometers per year.

World News “So when the area of sea ice coverage is reduced, there is a smaller sea ice area reflecting the sun’s radiation back to space. This means more retention of the sun’s radiation within the Earth system and further heating,” Parkinson said.

Mars Water Found More Acidic Than Previously Thought

It is unlikely that the Antarctic sea ice expansion will accelerate and overturn the global sea ice negative trend in the future, the study added. Read More. http://goo.gl/Sw1yYH

Reliance Industries Tells Staff Its Clean On Black Money

Business News The employees of Reliance Industries were Monday told that neither the company they worked for nor their chairman Mukesh Ambani have any illegal foreign account account or ill-gotten money stashed away abroad as suggested in some media reports.

“The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has released unsubstantiated stolen information, which is already available with authorities in India.
