. Secretagogin Protein
5. Secretagogin Protein
The role of Secretagogin Protein is demonstrated by the scientists at the Hyderabad based Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)- Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB). Let us tell you that the role of Secretagogin protein is increasing in insulin action in obesity-induced diabetes. The process that regulates insulin synthesis, secretion, signaling and maturation in diabetes was not completely understood by scientists. These findings were published in the journal iScience issue.
Important points about Secretagogin protein.
- This protein in humans is encoded by the SCGN gene.
- The encoded protein is a secreted calcium-binding protein that is found in the cytoplasm.
- SCGN in the future will become a diagnostic marker and should check its potential in diabetes management.
RIKO MAHATO
For preparing the detector, researches have used an ordinary filter paper.
- Further, the filter paper is cut into small discs by using office punch and impregnated with chemical probes that react with ALP.
- The 'probes' used are antibodies that specifically bind to ALP.
- When ALP comes into contact with the probe, it turns the disc of white paper into coloured.
- On paper discs when the colour changes are then photographed by a device or smartphone camera and images are processed to obtain corresponding colour values.
- These values are then compared with standard data stored in the phone.
- It not only detects the presence of ALP but also the amount of it in milk.
SpiNNaker is the world's largest supercomputer that is designed to work in the same way as the human brain works.
Important points about SpiNNaker
- SpiNNaker is the Spiking Neural Network Architecture. In real-time, this machine can model several biological machines than any other device on the planet.
- It is capable of completing more than 200 million actions per second, with each other of its chips having 100 million transistors.
- No doubt this supercomputer is unique because it does not communicate by sending large amounts of information from point A to B through standard network like any other computer.
Hyperloop has a 'tube modular transport system' that will run free of friction. Or we can say it is a new form of ground transport. It is a new method with which people or objects can be moved rapidly and safely with efficiency anywhere in the world. It will also have minimal impact on the environment.
Hyperloop technology is the brainchild of Tesla founder Elon Musk, who showed its original design in a whitepaper in 2013. If this hyperloop system is successful in India, then probably the distance (1200 km) between Delhi and Mumbai can be covered in less than an hour. Do you know that it will cover 35 km in 5 minutes?
NEW INVENTION IN SCIENCE
For testing the freshness of milk, the scientists of an Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati have developed a simple paper kit. It also tells about the pasteurisation that whether it is done well or not.
Important points about Paper Sensor
- Aided with a smartphone app, the kit will ensure that milk is consumed before it turns too sour.
- An indicator of milk quality is a milk enzyme namely Alkaline Phosphate or ALP, its presence even after pasteurisation indicates the presence of microbes that may not have been rendered inactive with pasteurisation.
Science and Technology 2019: Inventions and Discoveries
The evolution of Science and Technology no doubt is like a boon to the world because human beings have come to know a lot about the world in which they live, indulge in activities, etc. Development in technology leads to the advancement in Science and helps to revolutionise several fields including medicine, agriculture, education, etc.
The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.” – Edward Teller
Science has a great impact on our lives. Without science, we won't be able to enjoy many things that make our modern world possible. Every year several discoveries and inventions took place and so the same way in 2019 that had given an edge to science and technology. Discoveries and Inventions in Science and Technology play an important role in the preparation of various competitive examinations including UPSC, PSC, SSC, etc.
Important facts about new ink
- The ink consists of single excitable dual emissive luminescent pigment.
- The development of the ink is based on the concept of fluorescence and phosphorescence phenomena.
- The developed ink has features of changing the colour of pigment after the notes are printed.
- The ink shows white colour in ambient light. It turns into a red colour when it is exposed to UV light and when UV source is switched off it turns into a green colour.
meditation
By concentrating the mind on peace, out of many conceptions select any one emotion, one thought of bringing restfulness or quietness. Rest your mind in that and lose it. Hold your mind and rest the mind. And again when the mind starts swinging here and there then say OM SHANTI! SHANTI! SHANTI!
Joy Meditation Yoga
When there is a crowd of thoughts in your mind and you sit for some time, and then sentimentally witness the traffic of thoughts running inside. Don‘t say good or bad. Let the thoughts come and go, similarly as traffic moves. It comes from one side and goes from other. The thoughts can be good or bad, of anger, of jealousy, of hatred, of affection. Let them come and go. You only see the thoughts coming and leaving .Besides seeing does not observe or think about them. Suddenly your mind will be lost, will become thoughtless. Do not focus on any thought and slowly you will go into meditation. During this you will experience extreme joy and your inner voice will say that until now there was unnecessary running in which the race was long, but nothing is achieved and when worldly running is stopped and turned towards inside then everything is found. The peace which is not attained by different means is gained by controlling the mind, we become wealthy and meditation is successful.
There is one more way to control your mind; it is when there are many types of thinking going on in your mind, then keep your mind uniform with only one consideration that is of serenity. You feel as if I am becoming calm, peace exists within me. I am the beloved child of the divine. My God is serene. I am getting tranquility inside, I am being pacified.
