Many of us consider ourselves "fishermen." Many fishermen consider themselves good fishermen. A select few of the good fishermen are professional sport-fishermen, those who pursue big fish for a living. All of these fishermen undoubtedly use modern day rods and reels, often with expensive lures and other equipment that are "guaranteed" to produce a good catch .• Not even the best equipment can ...

We are living in a modern and advanced era of computers where human effort is being minimized by the use of modern technologies. One of the aspects to achieve this is by bringing the daily household items or devices over the internet and let them communicate with each other autonomously. In this contribution we have used Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino to analyze different parameters like RAM, Proce...

The coming of war has forced us to rediscover the merits of many discarded ways of living in all departments of life. In the realm of education, the emergency improvisation of home teaching units took us back temporarily to the days of the old dame school, but now that the first few weeks of initial disorganization which brought these to life have passed, the experience has left some of us with...

This report was undertaken to draw together scientific findings on incinerator emissions and their impacts on human health. A broad range of health effects have been associated with living near to incinerators as well as with working at these installations. Such effects include cancer (among both children and adults) adverse impacts on the respiratory system, heart disease, immune system effect...

Cloud robotics is becoming a trend in the modern robotics field, as it became evident that true artificial intelligence can be achieved only by sharing collective knowledge. In the ICT area, the most common way to formulate knowledge is via the ontology concept, where different meanings connect semantically. Additionally, a considerable effort to merge robotics with assisted living concepts exi...

In literary histories written in both Iran and the West it has generally be assumed that early modern Persian literary works are (technically inferior) copies of Western literary works. This has been and is still a claim. Almost no academically and scientifically sound works has substantiated this claim. While there is no point in denying a European influence on early modern Persian literature,...

In spite of man’s understanding of structure and dynamics of the physical universe, the inner aspect of life or the inner world remains to be unravelled through the current scientific thought process. Despite technological growth and enhanced material standards of living, the real standard of living in terms of love, happiness and peace has yet to find its roots. Yoga and spirituality contain s...

DNA technologies have revolutionalized modern science in many ways. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the hereditary material in all living organism from bacteria to bull, controls and directs all the functions of a living organism. Many techniques have been evolved to understand and manipulate the DNA for many purposes like parentage analysis, curing genetic diseases, forensics, gene therapy and to...

Driven by the ongoing demographical, structural, and social changes in all modern, industrialized countries, there is a huge interest in IT-based equipment and services these days that enable independent living of people with specific needs. Despite of promising concepts, approaches and technology, those systems are still rather a vision than reality. In order to pave the way towards a common u...

The endowment effect, the tendency to value possessions more than non-possessions, is a well-known departure from rational choice and has been replicated in numerous settings. We investigate the universality of the endowment effect, its evolutionary significance, and its dependence on environmental factors. We experimentally test for the endowment effect in an isolated and evolutionarily releva...
