Haptics interface: helps in making gadgets, which reacts to human senses

The haptic interface is the interface in which humans interact with a machine or computer using his/her sensory receptors. It is generally used in virtual reality environment. This can help people interact with virtual objects and elements. To execute a processor command computer interprets the signal given by each human being. This is how haptic interface works. In all gaming industry and 3D creative world haptic interface works wonder. Whenever the gaming icon in any virtual or electronic game fails or hit a wrong place the reception is sent to…

New technique may help quicken production of blood cancer drug

New technique may help quicken production of blood cancer drug

India Science Wire Researchers at Madurai Kamaraj University have developed a technique that promises to quicken the process of production of L-asparaginase, an enzyme used in treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Human cells need steady supply of an amino acid, Asparagine, to build proteins and use an enzyme called asparagine synthetase to make it. Cancerous cells, however, rely on blood for their requirement of asparagine. L-Asparaginase therapy takes advantage of this. L-Asparaginase enzyme performs the opposite reaction to asparagine synthetase. It catalyzes conversion of L-asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia….

Snakebite: a Public Health Problem not much talked about

Snakebite: a Public Health Problem not much talked about

India Science Wire India used to be dubbed as a country of snake charmers in jest decades ago, but few would know about the darker side of snakes – snakebites. An estimated 28 lakh cases of snakebites occur in India and about 50,000 Indians die due to snakebites every year. Yet, it remains a neglected public health problem. Many of the deaths and disabilities due to snakebites can be averted if health authorities take steps to prevent snakebites as well as improve facilities for treating those bitten by venomous snakebites….

Apple line goes topsy-turvy in the Himalayas

India Science Wire The apple line, which refers to the traditional apple growing areas in the Indian Himalayan Region, has been shifting to higher altitudes as temperature rises. Now, it seems the apple line is also coming down with farmers at lower altitudes beginning to grow varieties of apple that do not require much chilling. The changing pattern of rainfall and increase in average maximum and minimum temperature has caused significant fluctuation in crop production with traditional temperate fruit belt moving upwards. Adverse climatic factors during winters such as winter…

Pollution in Ganga harming riverbed sediments too

India Science Wire The excessive amounts of human waste and toxic effluents that find their way into the Ganga River are not only polluting the water but also causing deficit of dissolved oxygen in the riverbeds in some of the most polluted stretches of the river, a new study has found. Dissolved oxygen is an important parameter that determines health and rejuvenation capacity of any riverine ecosystem. The amount of dissolved oxygen in a river depends on atmospheric supply of oxygen, photosynthetic process, and oxygen-consuming metabolic and chemical processes. If…

New method can produce designer hydrogels

India Science Wire A team of scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a new technique that promises to produce hydrogels that could be used for a variety of applications like cleaning of industrial wastewater.   The method involves self-assembly of tiny cubes of metal-organic compounds into hydrogels with the help of molecular binders. The makeup of the resulting hydrogel depends on the size, shape and geometry of the molecular binder.   For instance, when researchers used cationic ammonia-based molecular binder, the resulting…
