During spawning, female polychaetes produce a pheromone that attracts males and causes them to release sperm; this, i...

  Have you noticed that why the shape of Lay’s or Pringles were curve? There is big trade behind this shape. Many calculations and researches were done to bring this hyperbolic paraboloid shape. This shape prevent the Pringle from crack and this brings an extra crunch on behalf of taste of Pringle. "The use of hyperbolic paraboloids as a form of thin shell construction was pioneered in the post-war era, as a hybrid of modern architecture and structural engineering. Being both lightweight and efficient, the form was used as a means of minimizing materials and increasing structural performance while also creating impressive and seemingly complex designs," states  design building.     There are two principle of curvatures meet each other at zero point is known as saddle point or minimax point. These double curvature prevent a line of stress which avoid crack and brings structure strength despite their thin shape . Usually the weight of Pr...

  Everyone might see the illusion of something in their lifetime, but it’s not the illusion we saw, it’s about the illusion we live.   Yes, Life is the biggest illusion. We don’t know, what is real. Everything around us is an illusion. This document, the world, you, all illusion. Any uncovered reality is not real either. Behind the curtain is the next curtain and behind the illusion is just another deeper illusion.   For a thirsty person, the illusion of water makes him move forward. Even though it is not real, it gives him some hope. For instance, In the journey of life, we might know that it will not happen, but we are longing for it, which simply means the expectations.   If this makes you sit at believing nothing really matters, the illusion tricked you. Don’t focus on the discovery.     Enjoy the journey. Luckily all weaknesses, futility and imperfections are illusion too. So smile. It might not be real, but it’s great fun.  ...

  The most specific activity which enhances your health is Sleeping. Every posture of sleepings is accountable for your health. Sleeping face-up with a pillow under your back may help with back pain but may also worsen symptoms of sleep apnea. Sleeping on your side may be better for sleep apnea, but you may find that it hurts your spine. Heart Patients want to avoid sleeping on their left side. It’s thought that sleeping on this side may reposition your heart in your chest and change its electrical activity. Left-side sleeping caused the heart to shift and turn. The changes in electrical activity were attributed to this movement of the heart. In right-side sleeping, there are no changes in ECG activity.   In this position, the heart was held in place by the thin layer of tissue between the lungs called the mediastinum. The majority of participants with a heart muscle disease called consecutive dilated cardiomyopathy preferred to sleep on their right side rather tha...

  In fact, there are many ferocious beasts, both large and small , that are downright deadly. Among that the first place goes to HUMANS.    After all , we’re animals too, and since we have been killing each other for 10,000 years, with the total deaths from war alone estimates at between 150 million and 1 billion (and that was a decade ago), it’s a no brainer that we are the most dangerous animal.   Though human beings are said to be living in the most peaceful period now that at any other time in our history, we still assault each other with incredible high rates of senseless brutality, from gun violence to terrorist attacks around the globe. We’re dangerous to other animals and we’re the main reason for global warming, the destruction of forests and coral reefs , and over tourism.   The fact that we often act irrationally and have the capacity to annihilate our entire planet with a host of horrifying weapons like nuclear devices and...

  Chaos theory is the branch of mathematics focusing on the study of chaos. Chaos means a small change initially in one state of deterministic nonlinear can results in a large difference in a later state. This idea was recognized by French mathematics and engineer Henri Poicare. Also, American mathematics and philosopher contributed to this theory.    The butterfly effect is nothing but a small incident or action that bring big change. Many incidents in our life may bring change in anyone a person life. A small diversion of car leads to world war 1. We have known Austrian France Fredinant was killed by Serbian Gowrila . This made Austria, Hungary attack Germany which results in a world war. In 1918 Hendry Tandey who was a soldier of the British in the war he leaves Adolt Hilter instead of shooting him. As per ethics soldier should not kill the hurt person in war. So Hendry does not shoot Hilter this made 6millon people lose their life.  ...

Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe    Nothing compares to standing in front of the world’s largest waterfall, which stretches in length for a full mile.   Visit between February and May after the region’s rainy season for the clearest views of 500 million litres of water that pour over the falls every 60 seconds.    Victoria falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world because of the largest sheet of falling water in the world and the major waterfall on the Zambezi River in Africa. The enormous waterfall spans 1688 meters wide and plummets 108 meters over a basalt cliff to continue the Zambezi River below.    It is famous for being the largest waterfall in the world, in the wet season. The African people’s who live around the falls call it Mosi-oa-Tunya which means “Smoke that thunder”. credits:  Nivethitha

  On top of being the coldest and driest place on the planet, Antarctica is home to a crimson-hued waterfall called Blood falls the starkly pour down five stories along with an icy white glacier.   Bloody Falls, named for its ruddy colour, is not in fact a gush of blood from the unseen wound. The colour was initially chalked up to red algae, but a study in the Journal of Glaciology has uncovered its true origin using radar to scan the layers of ice from which the river pours.   The falls pour forth from Taylor Glacier, and the liquid bubbles up from fissures in the glacier’s surface. The flow was previously a mystery, as the mean temperature is 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 degrees Celsius) and little glacial melting can be seen at the surface.   The mystery behind this is, the subglacial rivers and a subglacial lake - all filled with brine high in Iron, giving the falls in reddish tint.   The lake under the glacier has an unusually salty consist...

  A type of camera that works without a reflex mirror is called Mirrorless Camera. Light passes through the lens directly to the digital sensor, which then displays your image on the camera’s LCD screen, allowing you to adjust settings and preview your image before its shot. It is an interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) or simply a mirrorless camera, also called digital single-lens mirrorless (DSLM), is a photo camera featuring a single, removable lens and digital display.   It has the advantage of usually being lighter, more compact, faster and better for video; but that comes at the cost of access to fewer lenses and accessories. For DSLRs, advantages include a wider selection of lenses, generally better optical viewfinders and much better battery life.   Compared to DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras are mechanically simpler and are typically smaller, lighter, and quieter due to the elimination of the moving mirror. While nearly all mirrorless cameras still hav...
