ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO SEARCH FOR VICTIMS RUINS

Today dogs are very reliable for detecting and finding the bodies of victims.Devastating earthquake struck the country again. In Sumatra and Jambi, shocks of 7.6 and 7 on the Richter scale devastated the buildings on the land and its inhabitants.To find the victims crushed by the ruins of iron, concrete, and other materials is not easy.Moreover, if the buildings are high rise buildings which collapsed ruins alone reached a dozen feet high.Recent times, there are several technologies that can help the team attempted to search or the medical team in finding the victim. Especially utilizing air media.For example, as quoted from Medindia, 5 October 2009, a group of researchers from the United States, at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, August 2009, revealed that they had been doing research to make portable devices that can detect the victim's body is buried. Their goal is to create an electronic device that can be found at the same time knowing how long the victim had died accurately.As is known, at this very reliable sniffer dogs to detect and find the bodies of victims from earthquakes, tornadoes, or other natural disasters."The dogs are very effective, but it takes time, cost, and effort to practice it a lot. If there is a tool that can do this effectively, this course should be attempted, "said Dr. Dan Sykes, scientists involved in such research.According to Sarah A Jones, a student who worked with Sykes, a tool like that could be developed to detect gases that are emitted when the human body begins to decompose in a variety of environmental conditions.From a series of tests, they managed to make a special sensor called Solid Phase Micro Extraction fiber (SPME) to capture the gas. Mentioned, specially coated fiber is a fiber that is used to take samples of air composition.Another with that conducted by researchers from the University of Georgia and U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to the researchers, who revealed his findings at the Biotechnology Review, January 2006 edition, a fly could someday be used to detect buried bodies, explosives, poisons, even cancer."The fly is an animal that is always busy to feel the environment," said Joe Lewis, USDA researchers involved in the project Wasp Hound. "They can detect the smell of what we want and then find the way to the source," he said.For that flies need to be trained to detect certain odors. For example, researchers gave sugar water on a fly that is hungry. After a few sessions, these flies can associate the smell of the sugar water with food and find the source of the smell when they find the smell in the air.When the attack on the World Trade Center, in New York, 11 September 2001, 300 trained dogs used to locate victims who tertimba ruins of the building. Although dogs are commonly used, but researchers say flies faster and cheaper to train."A sniffer dog takes 1 to 2 years to be properly trained, while flies only takes 5 minutes," said Lewis.Flies also proved to be more sensitive than artificial olfaction. For example, the Electronic Nose artificial NASA designed to detect ammonia leak in a spacecraft, can detect the concentration of ammonia to 1 per one million parts. While a fly can detect four per one billion parts.
On average, flies have similar sensitivity with a dog trained Bloodhound most, and 50 times more sensitive than the average human. However, still takes about 5 to 10 years to further explore what can be done flies.
"The fly probably will not replace sniffer dogs," said Lewis. "But in some ways, flies better. You can train more, easy, and inexpensive, complete search methods that we already have, "he said.

Apple releasing iOS 4.2 Today

The company announced that its latest operating system update for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users will be available today, though the software was not yet available for download at 7:00 a.m. PT on Apple's site or directly through iTunes. MacStories and MacWorld are reporting that iOS 4.2 will debut by 10:00 a.m. PT.

The eagerly awaited update will bring to the iPad new features that already hit the iPhone and iPod Touch through last summer's iOS 4.0 release.

iPad users will now be able to multitask by switching from one app to another, organize apps via folders, and more easily jump from one e-mail inbox to another. Owners of Apple's popular tablet will also be able to join Game Center, Apple's social-gaming service that lets people play games online with their friends.

"iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. "Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit."

iOS 4.2 is also bringing new features to all three of Apple's mobile devices.

People who've been asking for the ability to print now have their wish. The new AirPrint feature will print content directly from the mobile device to any AirPrint-enabled printer on a local network. That list initially includes the ePrint enabled printers from Hewlett-Packard, such as the HP Photosmart, HP LaserJet Pro, and HP Officejet, though Apple has said that iOS 4.2 mobile devices will be able to send data to any printer as long as it's connected through a Mac or PC. People can print documents, Web pages, photos, and other files. Apple is also touting the fact that no drivers, software, or cables are required to print via AirPrint.

The new AirPlay will wirelessly stream music, videos, and photos from an iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad to the Apple TV box. Music can also be streamed directly to AirPlay-enabled speakers or to any stereo using AirPort Express.

Those worried about losing their devices can use the Find My iPhone feature, which also works for the iPad and iPod Touch. Freely available as a download through the App Store, this tool lets people find a missing device by locating it on a map and having it flash a message or play a sound. People can also remotely lock or erase data from their lost device. This type of feature was previously available only to subscribers of Apple's $99-per-year MobileMe service.

The actual launch date of iOS 4.2 was the subject of much speculation over the past couple of weeks. MacStories and other sources had claimed the update was set to debut on November 12. But the release might have been waylaid by a reported Wi-Fi bug that was rumored to have affected the iPad's ability to maintain a wireless connection. Apple pushed out a new Gold Master version for developers on November 12 and then another one this past Thursday.

iOS 4.2 will be available for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4; the iPod Touch 2G, 3G, and 4G; and the iPad. Updating any of these devices with iOS 4.2 first requires iTunes 10.1, which Apple released November 12.
