They are also using hand crafted tools to hunt small animals. This is the first routine production deadly weapons by the animals other than human. The researchers in Senegal have studied the chimpanzees for many year...
Scientists studying equine evolution have assembled the genetic blueprint of a thoroughbred mare. A rough draft of its entire DNA sequence has been made. They wanted to study physiology and dozens of diseases of both horses and human. At Broad Institute in Massachusetts, the research was done under a senior scientist named Clair Wade. The genome contains sizeable gaps and more analysis is needed. The research team estimated that 2.7 million units of DNA would provide a huge informati...

Job burn-out occurs when someone does the same job for quite a long time. It may be 2 to 3 years or more. The person gets irritated in his job and many side-effects develop. Research shows that they are prone to develop type-2 diabetes. This study was done in Israel on 677 subjects. The study was done among male, middle-aged workers. The study shows that those affected by burn-out are twice as likely to develop that condition. When the effects of blood pressure level was eliminated...
Generally the back office workers do their job even during festivals. We worked during the Kali Puja (a puja where Maa Kali, Goddess of Strength, with the idol portraying an angry woman with tongue protruding out with her husband, Lord Shiva under her foot and with decapitated heads made into garlands.) March 3 was celebrated in this year 2007 as Holi in India. On this day, we celebrate this day by smearing colors at each other. Holi is usually celebrated among friends and family circle. ...
The aquarium is an enclosure where fishes are kept and food is given to the fishes. Generally exotic fishes are kept here, fishes that have a variety of colors in their body are kept in aquarium to beautify the place where it is kept. In India, we have a wonderful museum at Kolkata, one of the major metropolitan city of India. It is called “Aquarium.” It is opposite to the Alipur Zoological Garden. In front of it is the reputed National Library of Kolkata. I went to the Aq...
On 18th of February in 2007, I embarked on a journey to see the wildlife in an enclosure at Alipur in Kolkata. The place is called Zoological Garden. It is wonderful place to visit in the holidays. It is in front of the famous National Library of Kolkata. I took a bus 3D/1 and went straight to the Alipur Zoological Garden. I entered the zoo after paying an entry fee of Rs. 10. I entered through the revolving gate. The garden is beautifully decorated with a large number of...
Harmonica is a wind instrument. It is played by mouth. The harmonica is held by the hand with 2 hands and played by blowing air from the mouth. With a little air pressure, one can play harmonica.

Sophisticated harmonicas have scale change facility. One can play it in different scales, e.g. ...
A new research states that our memories are cemented in the brain during the sleep. It was reported in LiveScience. In Massachusetts Institute of Technology, researcher Matthew Wilson thinks that this work brings closer to an understanding of the nature of animal dreams. It gives them a clue to the role of sleep in processing memories of past experiences. In his previous experiments, Matthew Wilson measured activity in rats' hippocampuses. Hippocampus is the brain's memory center ...
Scientists have found new recordings in the activity of the brain, which consolidates daily memories. This study throws light on how our brain interacts with itself in the process of day-to-day remembering of facts and figures. The recordings capture dialogues between hippocampus and neocortex of our brain. Hippocampus is the area where initial memories of the day's events are formed. Neocortex is the sheet of neuron on the outer surface of the brain that mediates conscious though...

Science City is a wonderful place for creating interest in science for the young and old. This is the place where scientific principles are demonstrated with the help of simple experiments. The Science City is a large area with toy train, picnic area, food stalls, space odyssey, rope way, mono rail, maritime center, and evolution park. As you enter the science city, it is encompassed by a large garden with beautiful flowers. At the end of it is a large gate, which is divided into r...
