HELLO WORLD, SAY “HELLO” TO DOLLY

by FREDA RUECKER Comment Closed
We start learning C programming language by making the computer display "hello". What are the other programming languages that begin with displaying "hello". Is that a coding tradition? If so who started is furst? Yes, displaying "Hello, World!" is a common tradition in many programming languages. It's often the first program that beginners write when learning a new language. This tradition helps new programmers understand the basic syntax and structure of the language. Here are some other programming languages that also start with a "Hello, World!" program:Python: print("Hello, World!")Java:java public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } JavaScript: console.log("Hello, World!");Ruby: puts "Hello, World!"Go:go package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("Hello, World!") } Swift: print("Hello, World!")The tradition of starting with a "Hello, World!" program is believed to have been popularized by the book "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, published in 1978. The book used a "Hello, World!" program as an example to introduce the basic syntax of C, and it has since...

NOTE ON QUIZ SESSION WILL BE HERE

by FREDA RUECKER Comment Closed
'Zebra Crossing' started jubilantly in a top newspaper as a Sunday quiz column sponsored by Discovery Channel. Those contests are over, and some regular winners in them have passed away. We don't have the time and skills to recreate that Sunday surge of excitement on a web page. We will keep displaying some specimens here at random in memory of the dear dead....

915 / Teeth tell stories that mouth can’t

by FREDA RUECKER Comment Closed
A fossil tooth could be a buffet of information for researchers at a dig. Teeth grow like trees in a sense. They add layer after layer of enamel and dentine tissues every day. And so they can help us reconstruct the biological events that individuals or even communities have undergone during their early years of life.Among other things, teeth preserve "precise temporal changes and chemical records of key elements" involved in what and how we eat. Recently, Dr Renaud Joannes-Boyau and team used specialized laser sampling techniques to vaporize microscopic portions on the surface of teeth from Australopithecus africanus fossils. Their finding is the first direct evidence of maternal roles of one of our earliest ancestors.Those ancestral mothers, who lived from about two-to-three million years ago, breastfed their infants continuously -- from birth to about one year of age. Nursing appears to follow in a cyclical pattern in the early years for infants. Mothers had to supplement solid...

909 / Tentacles are the brain to an octopus

by FREDA RUECKER Comment Closed
Tentacled aliens from outer space are familiar to us from science fiction, but the octopus may be as alien an intelligence as we can meet on Earth. "It's an alternative model for intelligence," said Dominic Sivitilli. "It gives us an understanding as to the diversity of cognition in the world, and perhaps the universe."Of the 500 million neurons in the body of the octopus, more than 350 million are in its eight arms. These arms have a neural ring that bypasses the brain. The arms can send information to each other without the brain being aware of it. So, while the brain isn't quite sure where the arms are in space, the arms know where each other are, and this allows the arms to coordinate during actions like crawling locomotion. The arms then process sensory and motor information and muster collective action without waiting on commands from the brain.The result is a bottom-up (or arm-up) decision mechanism rather...

177 / Are ‘couch potatoes’ born in the womb?

by FREDA RUECKER Comment Closed
Pregnant women may take heed. Poor diet during the pregnancy may program their babies to become couch potatoes even before they are born. And once triggered in the womb, the 'slack snacker' syndrome is likely to follow the offspring all the way to form a lifestyle -- at least in non-human animals. That is, if an animal is deprived of food in the womb, it gets adapted to a life of thrift. It is as though laziness is telling the animals not to waste energy.But there is good news. Your brain is able to visualize activities and later use the images to activate the body to perform them in real-life situations. This is nothing new to scientists, but now we know better. You unconsciously learn complex motor skills (not only 'what' but also 'how') simply by watching others learn the skill. For instance, you can learn how to plan movements in a game and control your muscles to work towards...
