Study: Many internet users are reluctant to click ads online

ADELAIDE - Almost all industries which moves in the field of the website sites experiencing dilemma condition due to increased mobilization of computer users to mobile device or tablet. Many also are struggling desperately in order to not affected domino effect.

Just look at Google and Facebook that say difficult to rotate money from advertising, because they put an ad on a smaller screen is a big challenge. Needed strategy to maintain the advertiser in order to want to put their ads and encourage users to click on the ads.

This is becomes a consideration for Twitter and Instagram to restrict advertising content on its site. A study conducted by a team of researchers from the University of South Australia (USA), Australia, revealed that branded advertising in the internet search engine does not have short-term benefits for the user.

The research also concluded that if the user already feel familiar with a site, they are more clever to avoid ads. Not infrequently, even they are oftentimes feel disturbed with the bombardment of ads that continue to appear.

"A new user and that rarely visit to a site, can with ease influenced by the advertising positively. While, those who become loyal users of a particular site will have a mindset that encourages behavior to not be affected by paid search, "said Byron Sharp, Professor of Marketing in the USA.

With so many advertising-funded website, then the advertiser will cram site content which is used to pay for its survival in the mobile device. This makes business the website become more difficult.

The new discovery, process the sweat into drinking water

Processing devices for water sweat into drinking water

STOCKHOLM - After the researchers succeed find a method of charging the phone using the urine of some time ago, the latest has been present new discovery is capable of converting sweat into drinking water.

The device was created in order to promote Unicef ​​campaign in Sweden. Where, this device will take the sweat out of clothing that has been worn with way of heating and rotating the clothes to can filtered the liquid. Thus, all that remains is the water molecules only.

This discovery is claimed to have a level of sanitation that is cleaner than the local tap water. This idea came after more than 1000 people have "flooding the sweat" in Gothenburg, the city became the center of the design of this machine.

This device was built by a group of engineers from Sweden and Andreas Hammar television connection. They hope Unicef ​​will highlight this discovery of considering the fact that 780 million people in the world are still experiencing clean water crisis.

"This technique using technology that are called as membrane distillation. We use substances such as Goretex that produces steam from processing the bacteria, salt, clothing fibers, and other substances, "said Hammar.

"This machine works exactly such as available at the space station (ISS). But, our machines are cheaper to produce water. Because of the amount of many water produced from how sweat people it. Usually, in shirts a person produces 0.3 oz (approximately 10 milliliters) or a mouthful, "he continued.

Researcher: Computers Helping Human Communication with Animals

WASHINGTON - Researchers from Northern Arizona University, Con Slobodchikoff said that computers can helping people to can communicate with animals.

Humans try to talk with animals. Some researchers have been tried to make a device that allows humans to can communicate with pets well as farm animals.

Con Slobodchikoff, who is professor emeritus of animal behavior research and attempted to 'solve the code' animal communication. Although, Slobodchikoff has been studying ways to communicate or signal of all species, he focus on communication with prairie dogs.

According to him, prairie dogs communicating with the most sophisticated way. "This is the most sophisticated animal language is ever translated," he said.

This animal reportedly has phonemes (the smallest units of sound) that resemble words. Thus, the animal can combine to form a call that resembles a series of sentences. "They have a social chat," he added. They can distinguish between the types of predators that are around it, such as coyotes and humans.

Besides it, prairie dogs can develop a warning that is capable determine the size and color of predators. Slobodchikoff rely on statistical analysis of alarm calls that are produced one of the species, ie Gunnison prairie dog.

With these techniques, he knows what happened to the animal and its condition. "I personally think that whales and dolphins and apes (also) have a very sophisticated language," he said.

However, time This researchers still must design some experiments that allows humans to can translate the language of animals. Studying the dolphins or whales have constraints because these animals are below sea level.

"We can hear their vocalizations, but we're not so sure that we understand the context in which it is communicated," he explained. While her research on the pasture dog language, can reveal the social systems that exist in the lives of these animals.

With this research, himself hopes can create a tool to can translate the language of animals. Besides it, allows humans to can communicating with animals it.

Researchers find earth's rarest elements in alaska

CALIFORNIA - A unique sediment of the rarest elements that is in Earth, found at Bokan Mountain Alaska. This finding could help scientists understand the formation process or rare earth elements (REE).

This research was carried by the scientists dar iSaint Mary's University in Halifax and the Geological Survey, United States. Researchers revealed that the elements or rare earth elements this is important, but is very rare to find.

This element is usually that are used in components for electronics and technology in the field of defense. Studied geology and how these elements can appear is an important step to can determine where the REE concentrations that may can be found.

REE consists of 17 elements, including Yttrium, Scandium, 15 members or types of Lanthanide series. The 17 elements this then divided into groups of mild and heavy REE, which relies on atomic weight.

Light REE is more often dominant in the sediment. While at Bokan Mountain Alaska, heavy REE elements (HREE) reportedly more often found.

HREE are very valuable for producing quality small sized magnets, which is commonly used in smartphones and tablet devices. The magnets can also be used to improve the ability mesi and transmission until use of operation in high temperatures.

Mount Bokan is one of storage place the rare element, which is concentrated and can be produced more efficient. "Our work in southeastern Alaska demonstrate the potential of a viable, world-class supply of rare earth elements from domestic resources," said Jaroslav Dostal, Saint Mary's University researchers.

To determine how this rare precipitate formed at Bokan Mountain. Dostal analyzing the granite using geochemical technology and isotopic analysis, and then compared the results he did with other granite.

Study: Couples from online dating sites more durable

illustration

LOS ANGELES - A new study found scientific evidence that the husband and wife who met online will be more satisfied with their marriage than other couples. In a national survey that consisted of 19 131 people, the researchers found the existence of decrease in satisfaction in couples that met in the workplace, blind dates, bar or nightclub.

Study reported high levels of satisfaction in their marriages tend to be short or brief than the people who met with their partner through online dating sites. Thus, the results of discovery which published in the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences.

"The researchers offend the existence of possibility that the Internet is changing the relationship that makes them live better," said one of the social penelii Benjamin Karney.

Since beginning of its appearance in the 1990s, online dating sites has been growing with fast. The results show that overall, couples who acquainted online will be felt more flutter when will doing meeting the first face-to-face. Sense it which will determine whether to his future will continue blanketed in love or ended at that moment.

Among them (respondents) who married between 2005 and 2012 as many as 5.96 percent of them met their couples online and still filled of love. While, those who met offline with their couples as much as 7.67 percent are already separated or divorce due to not harmonious.

Karney say, they who switched to the internet to find a partner will be more committed to having long-term relationships than those that do not. Because, they will be have certain cognitive skills such as empathy, persistence or impulse-control that helps encourage happiness in committed relationships.

As a result, online dating sites is still be option and has the potential to open many opportunities to express themselves to one another before finally met face-to-face. "But this does not mean that the internet can always increase the quality of the relationship," he continued.

Research Discover New Ways to Detect Tsunamis

Tsunami

BERLIN - Recently researchers revealed that they succeed to find a new way to prove quickly and precisely the early warning system from the tsunami. A team of German researchers revealed that the satellite-based GPS is able to offer detailed information just in matter of minutes.

The researchers believe that this technology has been experiencing much enhancement, since the tsunami destroyed most of Japan in 2011. The study about this GPS has been published in Natural Hazards and Earth Systems Sciences.

This tsunami early warning system uses data seismology, to ensure wave energy generated from the movement as well as shifting plates of the earth.

According to the researchers, the GPS sensor which is placed at the shoreline is able to give an accurate analysis about the underwater earthquake that could potentially shift the ground surface. "In a case called subduction earthquake, a slab of land that one will be under the other plate," said Principal Investigator, Dr. Andreas Hoechner.

The emergence of this system is based on the 2011 tsunami that occurred in Japan, where the people there a little late getting accurate information about the underwater earthquake.

"Having technology that is able to accurately predict the presence of a tsunami, is certainly a very great progress. Will but, the information submitted on the citizens is also an important thing, therefore, information delivery infrastructure also must be focus the countries that have the potential experiencing the tsunami," added Hoechner.
