A.R. Rahman’s tune for A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s lyrics!!! – India
This is a song written by his excellency A.P.J Abdul Kalam Missile Man of India) about India for which A.R. Rahman has scored the music.. APJ did his Engineering in MIT (Currently one of the constituent colleges of Anna University), Chennai. After completing his engineering he joined as a trainee in DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization of India). After some years he moved to ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) where he had lead many projects. Most of his projects were very much successful. One of his notable proble was AGNI missile which is the first missile developed by India fully using Indian technology. Later he became a scientific advisor for Ministry of Defence. Finally he became the PRESIDENT OF INDIA and complted his tenure in the year 2008. Currently he works as a Professor in Anna University. He got Bharath Ratna award which is the highest civilian award in India. He has been honoured with Doctorate degree by more than 36 Universities around the world. He is a role model for most of the Indians and he is called Missile man of India!
Listen to the song n enjoy…. But don’t forget to put your comments!

H. Franklin Bunn Receives ASH’s Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology
The 2009 Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology was presented to past ASH President H. Franklin Bunn, MD, of the Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, MA, for his leadership in advancing the field of hematology and hematology research for more than 40 years. He has made numerous insightful contributions to the understanding of red cell structure and function, including the identification of the relationship of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the effectiveness of therapy for diabetes mellitus. Throughout his career, Dr. Bunns research has represented only a part of his commitment to the field. He has served on many NIH advisory groups and councils and as an Associate Editor of Blood, a reviewer and editor of publications about hemoglobin and hemoglobin disorders, and an author of two textbooks. Most importantly, he has been an inspiring teacher of hematology to medical students, and a masterful mentor of fellows and junior faculty. To learn more about hematology, visit www.hematology.org.

Robotic Arm for People with Disabilities
Robotic Arm for People with Disabilities
Computer Science doctoral candidate Katherine Tsui demonstrates “Halo”, a prototype robotic arm that she has designed at the UMass Lowell Robotics Lab to help people with physical disabilities reach for objects on a table or shelf. Halo uses tiny webcams mounted over the arm and on the gripper to display the desired object on a flat screen monitor. The operator simply touches the screen to select the object, and the arm then autonomously retrieves the object and brings it to the operator. The project is funded through a research grant awarded to Prof. Holly Yanco from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience of Categorization, Novelty-Detec…
Google Tech Talks
November, 15 2007
ABSTRACT
Neurocomputational models provide fundamental insights towards
understanding the human brain circuits for learning new associations
and organizing our world into appropriate categories. In this talk I
will review the information-processing functions of four interacting
brain systems for learning and categorization:
(1) the basal ganglia which incrementally adjusts choice behaviors using environmental
feedback about the consequences of our actions,
(2) the hippocampus which supports learning in other brain regions through the creation of
new stimulus representations (and, hence, new similarity
relationships) that reflect important statistical regularities in the
environment,
(3) the medial septum which works in a feedback-loop with
the hippocampus, using novelty-detection to alter the rate at which
stimulus representations are updated through experience,
(4) the frontal lobes which provide for selective attention and executive
control of learning and memory.
The computational models to be described have been evaluated through a variety of empirical
methodoligies including human functional brain imaging, studies of
patients with localized brain damage due to injury or early-stage
neurodegenerative diseases, behavioral genetic studies of
naturally-occuring individual variability, as well as comparative
lesion and genetic studies with rodents. Our applications of these
models to engineering and computer science including automated anomaly
detection systems for mechanical fault diagnosis on US Navy
helicopters and submarines as well more recent contributions to the
DoD’s DARPA program for Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures
(BICA).
Speaker: Dr. Mark Gluck
Mark Gluck is a Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers University – Newark, co-director of the Rutgers Memory Disorders Project, and publisher of the public health newsletter, Memory Loss and the Brain. He works at the interface between neuroscience, psychology, and computer science, where his research focuses on the neural bases of learning and memory, and the consequences of memory loss due to aging, trauma, and disease. He is the co-author of “Gateway to Memory: An Introduction to Neural Network Models of the Hippocampus and Memory ” (MIT Press, 2001) and a forthcoming undergraduate textbook, “Learning and Memory: From Brain to Behavior.” He has edited several other books and has published over 60 scientific journal articles. His awards include the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions from the American Psychological Society and the Young Investigator Award for Cognitive and Neural Sciences from the Office of Naval Research. In 1996, he was awarded a NSF Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by President Bill Clinton. For more information, see http://www.gluck.edu.

Rice Planting Robot Awarded “The Robot Award 2008″ Grand Prize : DigInfo
DigInfo – http://www.diginfo.tv
The “Rice Planting Robot” now being developed by the National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) of the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) was chosen as the recipient of “The Robot Award 2008″, the grand prize for outstanding performance.
The sensors, computer and motor for driving operations are connected with the CAN bus communication standard, and in the future, a consolidated communication protocol will be used to share equipment such as sensors and control equipment with other agricultural robots including tilling and harvesting robots and thereby reduce equipment costs.
