Mobile tower emissions a threatIJ
Experiencing call dropsIJ It could be linked to the apprehensions surrounding public health hazards of mobile tower emissions, a telecom expert has said. Moreover, these could also hinder the new Government's plan to roll out broadband services extensively across the country. “One of the reasons behind call drops is that because of the apprehensions of electro-magnetic field (EMF) emissions from the antenna of mobile phone towers... local operators have pulled down towers. Myths of cancer from radiations without any reasonable scientific basis have affected the industry,” said Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) director general Rajan S Mathews.
Photos can Diagnose rare disorder
Oxford scientists have developed a new face-recognition software that can help diagnose extremely rare genetic conditions in children using family photographs. The computer programme recognises facial features in photographs, looks for similarities with facial structures for various conditions, such as Down's syndrome, Angelman syndrome, or Progeria, and returns possible matches ranked by likelihood. Using the latest technology in computer vision, the algorithm learns what facial features to pay attention to and what to ignore from a growing bank of photographs of people diagnosed with different syndromes. While genetic disorders are each individually rare, collectively these conditions are thought to affect one person in 17. Of these, a third may have symptoms that greatly reduce quality of life.
