- LinuxLink Subscription Accelerates Embedded Development

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and TimeSys(R) announced today embedded Linux(R) support for Atmel's ARM9(TM)-based AT91CAP9 customizable microcontroller. Ideal for rapid design validation, TimeSys is offering a free Board Support Package (BSP) for the CAP9 based on the 2.6.23 kernel.

The Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre(IMEC), an independent research center focusing on next generations chips and systems and enabling technologies for ambient intelligence, has developed a battery-free, wireless, 2-channel electroencephalography(EEG) system.

The interesting hook is that its hybrid power supply uses body heat and ambient light. It combines a thermoelectric generator that uses the heat dissipated from a person’s temples and silicon photovoltaic cells.

The entire system is wearable and integrated into a device resembling headphones. The system can provide more than 1mW on average indoors, which is more than enough for this application.

There is no question that Al Gore’s 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" is a powerful example of how scientific knowledge can be communicated to a lay audience.

What continues to be debated is whether it accurately presents the scientific argument that global warming is caused by human activities. Climate change experts express their opinions on the scientific validity of the film’s claims in the newest GeoJournal.

"An Inconvenient Truth" is about Al Gore’s campaign to educate citizens about global warming and inspire them to take action. The papers in GeoJournal agree that it does an excellent job of raising public awareness of man-made global warming and explains why increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases lead to warming. They also agree that its main weakness is that it tries to use individual extreme events, such as Hurricane Katrina, to prove the existence of global warming.

A new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge says that traders with high morning testosterone levels make more than average profits for the rest of that day. This influence of steroids naturally produced in the body (specifically testosterone and cortisol) may also provide insight into why people caught up in bubbles and crashes often find it difficult to make rational choices, unintentionally exacerbating financial crises.

Testosterone is a steroid hormone which controls competitive encounters as well as sexual behavior. Testosterone in male athletes, for example, will rise prior to a competition and rise even further in a winning athlete (but decrease in a losing one). This increase of testosterone in the winner can increase confidence and risk taking and improve chances of winning yet again, leading to a positive-feedback loop termed the ‘winner effect’. However, too much testosterone can have a detrimental affect on the ability to assess risk rationally.
