Eureka science prizes: Justin Yerbury wins research honour for work on motor neurone disease

Interactive Design & Technology @Malang BINUS UNIVERSITY

Considering the uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak, The 12th ICGT 2022 will be held fully hybrid on October 26-27, 2022. The scientific programs will include keynote lectures, plenary lectures and invited lectures in parallel sessions. All participants will have virtual access to join the conferences and all authors will have opportunities to present work either virtually or on-site, in Malang Indonesia.

How Computational Science can contribute to a sustainable future

International Conference on Education and Technology ICET

The discovery of fire was described by Charles Darwin as “possibly the greatest ever made by man.” Archeological, dietary, and social evidence point to “continuous fire-use” at least 1.5 Mya. Fire, fueled with wood and charcoal, allowed early humans to cook their food to increase its digestibility, improving its nutrient value and broadening the number of foods that could be eaten. The cooking hypothesis proposes that the ability to cook promoted an increase in hominid brain size, though some researchers find the evidence inconclusive. Archeological evidence of hearths was dated to 790 kya; …

How Computational Science can contribute to a sustainable future

The 7th International Conference on Sustainable Information Engineering and Technology

A 2017 survey found no clear consensus among economists on whether AI would increase long-term unemployment. The use of technology is widely prevalent in medicine, science, industry, communication, transportation, and daily life. Technologies include physical objects like utensils or machines and intangible tools such as software. Because current technologies are generally accepted as good, future technological developments are not considered circumspectly, resulting in what seems to be a blind acceptance of technological development. Human ancestors have been using stone and other tools since long before the emergence of Homo sapiens …

The 7th International Conference on Sustainable Information Engineering and Technology

The Middle Paleolithic, approximately 300,000 years ago, saw the introduction of the prepared-core technique, where multiple blades could be rapidly formed from a single core stone. The Upper Paleolithic, beginning approximately 40,000 years ago, saw the introduction of pressure flaking, where a wood, bone, or antler punch could be used to shape a stone very finely. By the mid-twentieth century, humans had achieved a mastery of technology sufficient to leave the surface of the Earth for the first time and explore space. At the same time, this new technology replaced …

Communications technology also includes systems that aid in the effectiveness and efficiency of communication, such as communication satellites. Technologies from around the world have been adopted to aid human life, from the most basic inventions, to complex systems that function entirely independently from the human experience. Technology has revolutionized society in countless ways; technology allowed early humans to grow their own food, navigate the open oceans, tell time, and connect society on a global scale. The transition from manual to technological methods of solving problems took place simply because relying on technology makes work …

Relation to science and engineering

the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

This view was supplanted after discovering evidence of tool use among chimpanzees and other primates, dolphins, and crows. For example, researchers have observed wild chimpanzees using basic foraging tools, pestles, levers, using leaves as sponges, and tree bark or vines as probes to fish termites. West African chimpanzees use stone hammers and anvils for cracking nuts, as do capuchin monkeys of Boa Vista, Brazil. Tool use is not the only form of animal technology use; for example, beaver dams, built with wooden sticks or large stones, are a technology with “dramatic” impacts on river …

In other words, human beings will someday be able to master all problems and possibly even control the future using technology. Some, such as Monsma, connect these ideas to the abdication of religion as a higher moral authority. The earliest stone tools were crude, being little more than a fractured rock. In the Acheulian era, beginning approximately 1.65 million years ago, methods of working these stone into specific shapes, such as hand axes emerged.

This can include things like MRI scanners, which take images of the inside of the human body; ventilators, which breathe for people; or even simply drugs and medicines that people take to make them better. It might sound like something from a sci-fi show, or something that has to run on electricity. Technology makes us think of the very complex, but energy doesn’t have to be complex. While technology companies claim to be able to prevent violence, there’s little proof that surveillance can actually protect students. The region historically lands around the top 10 …
