FIA Formula

FORMULA E RELEASES CALENDAR FOR 2015-16 SEASON

THE ALL-ELECTRIC FIA-SANCTIONED RACE SERIES ENTERS ITS SECOND SEASON...................,
                             
 FIA Formula E Worldwide Race Schedule 2015-16

  The FIA World Motorsport Council recently approved a second 11-race season 
for the Formula E series, which will have 10 teams competing in 2015-16. While the number of races remains the same, there are a few new locations.
The streets of Paris will host a race next April, and London will host two back-to-back races at the end of the season. The UK gets an early peek at the racers too, since track testing will be at Donington Park in August. There’s one race still to be determined; officials are hoping to fill the March date with a race in North America. Last year, Miami hosted before the Long Beach Grand Prix, but it appears the city isn’t in the running for 2016.
Here’s the rundown of dates and locations for the second season of Formula E, which again begins in Beijing:
  • October 17, 2015: Beijing, China
  • November 7, 2015: Putrajaya, Malaysia
  • December 19, 2015: Punta del Este, Uruguay
  • February 6, 2016: Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • March 19, 2016: TBD
  • April 2, 2016: Long Beach, California
  • April 23, 2016: Paris, France
  • May 21, 2016: Berlin, Germany
  • June 4, 2016: Moscow, Russia
  • TBD: Two races in London, UK
Also new this year is the ability for teams to supply their own powertrains. In the first season, everything in the car was supplied for the teams and inalterable to keep costs reasonably on par for a new motorsport field. For the second season, powertrains are up for tweaking and redesign -- within FIA parameters, of course -- as part of the planned growth of the series. Look for more design and component rules to open up in the future.

POPULAR SCIENCE

SOFTWARE TO PREDICT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EDIT A GENE....

SIFTING THROUGH THE TANGLED GENETIC WEB OF PRECISION MEDICINE........,


The genome-editing enzyme known as CAS9 at work on a strand of DNA...
                             Genetics researchers are really excited about CRISPR/Cas9, an enzyme that has made it easier than ever for scientists to target a particular strand of DNA, snip part of it out, and replace it. And though its use in humans is still in its infancy, many experts predict that engineering the human genome is inevitable.
Tests on human genes are expensive and controversial, and no one is quite sure whether gene changes will have their desired effect. Now the Canadian startup Deep Genomics claims it has developed a computer program that can play out the different possible effects of genetic manipulation based on computers’ deep learning.
Understanding how genes work is complicated because they exist in a dialogue with other genes, turning each other off or on and generating different molecules for the body to use. Researchers have been trying to understand these relationships to better treat medical conditions from cancer to schizophrenia, but the web seems to be too complicated for us to understand. That’s where deep learning comes in—using a huge dataset of people’s genetic information with its various mutations, Deep Genomics’ software can learn how cells read their genetic code and what molecules they make as a result.
This information would be just as useful for precision medicine treatments as for genetic editing: “We can use our system to determine the efficacy of therapies, whether it’s a drug, or a CRISPR/Cas-9 gene editing system, whatever it is, our technology allows us to predict the effects of those modifications,” Deep Genomics founder Brendan Frey told Motherboard.“That’s a very difficult thing to do computationally; most of the approaches are experimental."
Deep Genomics, which just launched this week, isn’t the only company using big data in the commercial genetics realm--23andMe is also developing predictive software. Deep Genomics’ program only looks at mutations that affect the process of splicing, in which new genes are inserted into DNA, which is not the only form of mutation.
So far, as the Motherboard story notes, it doesn’t look like the work conducted by Deep Genomics’ founders before its launch is any better than its competitors'. But as scientists are able to better decipher genes for treatments and the use of CRISPR becomes less controversial, genetic software, whether the Deep Genomics algorithm or others, will doubtless become important in precision medicine and beyon

Human resource management (HRM)...............,

                 Human resource management


Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR) is a function in organizations designed to maximize employee performance of an employer's strategic objectives.[1] HR is primarily concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies and systems.[2] HR departments and units in organizations typically undertake a number of activities, including employee recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and rewarding (e.g., managing pay and benefit systems).[3] HR is also concerned with industrial relations, that is, the balancing of organizational practices with requirements arising from collective bargaining and from governmental laws.[4]
HR is a product of the human relations movement of the early 20th century, when researchers began documenting ways of creating business value through the strategic management of the workforce. The function was initially dominated by transactional work, such as payroll and benefits administration, but due to globalization, company consolidation, technological advances, and further research, HR as of 2015 focuses on strategic initiatives like mergers and acquisitions, talent management, succession planning, industrial and labor relations, and diversity and inclusion.
In startup companies, HR duties may be performed by trained professionals. In larger companies, an entire functional group is typically dedicated to the discipline, with staff specializing in various HR tasks and functional leadership engaging in strategic decision-making across the business. To train practitioners for the profession, institutions of higher education, professional associations, and companies themselves have created programs of study dedicated explicitly to the duties of the function. Academic and practitioner organizations likewise seek to engage and further the field of HR, as evidenced by several field-specific publications. HR is also a field of research study that is popular within the fields of management and industrial/organizational psychology, with research articles appearing in a number of academic journals, including those mentioned later in this article.
In the current global work environment, most companies focus on lowering employee turnover and on retaining the talent and knowledge held by their workforce. New hiring not only entails a high cost but also increases the risk of a newcomer not being able to replace the person who was working in that position before. HR departments also strive to offer benefits that will appeal to workers, thus reducing the risk of losing corporate knowledge.

4G RAM

                Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (4GB RAM)


After reporting some exclusive information about the screen, design, and the processor of the Galaxy Note 5, we have been able to source information about its memory and some other things.
We have received confirmation from our reliable insiders that the Galaxy Note 5 will feature 4GB of LP-DDR4 RAM. The Exynos 7422 SoC, that will debut with the Galaxy Note 5, will be the company’s first true single-chip solution (ePOP) combining an octa-core 64-bit CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and the Shannon 333 LTE modem in the same package.
Going by the previous reports, the Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920) will feature a 5.67-inch Super AMOLED QHD display and an S Pen. Just like the Galaxy S6, the upcoming flagship product from the South Korean smartphone giant will feature a glass back and support for wireless charging. The wireless charging solution in the Note 5 will be compatible with WPC and PMA standards. The device will be offered in four colors; black, gold, silver, and white.
The Galaxy Note 5 was originally planned to be launched at IFA 2015, but rumours have started pouring in stating a possible early launch, possibly during mid-August. It is being speculated that this early launch is due to below par sales of the Galaxy S6 duo, and that the company wants to fend off competition from the upcoming iPhones.

Samsung Galaxy A8 Offcial......


Samsung Galaxy A8 official

After countless speculations, rumors, live shots and even a hands-on video, the Samsung Galaxy A8 is now finally official.
The handset is now listed on the Korean manufacturer's China website and we can finally say that the company's thinnest phone to date is a reality and relieve ourselves of the sea of information that has been bombarding the rumor mill.


The Samsung Galaxy A8 has a metal frame with a curvature very similar to that of the Galaxy S6, but the glass on the back has been replaced by aluminum, as is typical for the A-series. The handset has a profile of just 5.9mm and packs a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, yet still manages to keep thinks on the light side weighing in at 151 grams - quite modest for a phablet.
    
Samsung Galaxy A8
Under the hood, there is a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, with one cluster of Cortex-A53 cores working at 1.0 GHz and another ticking at 1.5 GHz. RAM is 2GB, onboard storage can be either 16GB or 32GB and there is also a microSD card slot. The memory expansion slot is shared with the second SIM slot so you can't get both dual-SIM and microSD at the same time, though.
In terms of connectivity the Samsung Galaxy offers 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS with Glonass and Beidou support, as well as NFC.

The camera setup consists of a 16MP main shooter, which, according to previous rumors is not identical to the one in the S6 and S6 edge and has a reduced pixel size of 1.0 µm to conserve space. It still has OIS and a bright f/1.9 aperture.
Another high-end feature present in the Galaxy A8 is a fingerprint reader, just like the flagship models. The unit is powered by a 3,050 mAh battery and Samsung promises 304 hours of standby time. As far as we currently know, color options include white, black and gold.

Mobile Technology Use Among Shoppers Rises as Retail Habits Change, Synchrony Financial Study Finds..................!

Retailers can differentiate themselves with integrated mobile strategies


STAMFORD, Conn., Jul 20, 2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), a premier consumer financial services company with 80 years of retail heritage, today released findings from its 2015 Digital Study that further confirm the importance of a comprehensive mobile strategy for retailers to effectively engage shoppers and enhance the customer experience.......
The survey, conducted in March and April 2015 with nearly 7,000 Synchrony Bank cardholders and random shoppers nationwide, gathered insights on how customers view mobile technology for shopping and what they expect in their mobile retail experience. Key findings of the third annual study include:
  • Almost 50% of survey respondents are now shopping using a mobile device.
  • Almost one-third are purchasing a product after seeing it on social media.
  • Approximately one-third of survey respondents indicate that text offers would drive an incremental shopping visit.
  • Value propositions, including free shipping, loyalty programs and personalized offers, continue to be important.
Results show that the use of mobile technology by shoppers continues to climb, with adoption growing among key segments of the population – 45% of all respondents said they used a mobile device to perform a shopping-related task (researching, sharing, purchasing and reviewing) in 2015, up four percent from 2014, and nine percent from 2013.
As mobile usage increases among all shoppers and across all devices, retail habits are changing. Mobile device usage for purchases is steadily increasing – 18% of respondents now report using a mobile device to make a purchase, up from 16% in 2014, and 12% in 2013.
Social media continues to be an important channel for retailers to drive sales and engage with customers. With 85% of consumers accessing social media and 45% following brands via social media channels, social media is important to driving engagement. Thirty percent of all age groups report purchasing a product after seeing it on social media and the numbers are higher for younger shoppers – 52% of Millennials and 42% of Gen Xers.
Holders of Synchrony Bank retail credit cards are more digitally-enabled than other shoppers and increasingly using mobile functionality for mobile credit card applications (+114% growth over 2014), mobile service logins (+58%), and mobile payments (+72%). Cardholders also have more access to mobile technology, making them particularly important to a retailer’s overall marketing strategy.

operating system

                   OS - operating system

The operating system is the most important program that runs on acomputer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs and applications. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing inputfrom the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.

For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop -- it makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system.
What is an Operating System

Top 5 Operating System Related Questions



Related Links


Classification of Operating systems

  • Multi-user: Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time. Some operating systems permit hundreds or even thousands of concurrent users.
  • Multiprocessing : Supports running a program on more than one CPU.
  • Multitasking : Allows more than one program to run concurrently.
  • Multithreading : Allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently.
  • Real time: Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems, such as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time.
    • Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run. The application programs must be written to run on top of a particular operating system. Your choice of operating system, therefore, determines to a great extent the applications you can run. For PCs, the most popular operating systems are DOS, OS/2, and Windows, but others are available, such as Linux.

    Interacting With the Operating System

    As a user, you normally interact with the operating system through a set of commands. For example, the DOS operating system contains commands such as COPY and RENAME for copying files and changing the names of files, respectively. The commands are accepted and executed by a part of the operating system called thecommand processor or command line interpreter. Graphical user interfaces allow you to enter commands by pointing and clicking at objects that appear on the screen.
