Formats

The formats used by digital cameras to store images are JPEG and TIFF .
Many cameras, especially professional or DSLR cameras, the format used raw (uncooked). A raw image is formed by all the raw pixels obtained directly from the camera sensor. They often use proprietary formats for each manufacturer, such as NEF for Nikon, CRW or CR2 for Canon, and MRW for Minolta. The firm Adobe Systems released the DNG format, a format of duty free raw image that has been adopted by some manufacturers.
Raw files should be processed in image editing programs but eventually specialized commonly used programs such as Google’s Picasa, added support for editing. Editing raw format images allows more flexibility in settings such as changing the white balance, exposure compensation and change the color temperature. Essentially, the raw format allows the photographer make major adjustments without losing image quality that otherwise would involve re-shooting.
The video formats are AVI, DV, MPEG, MOV (often with the motion JPEG), WMV, and ASF (basically the same as WMV). Recent formats include MP4, which is based on the QuickTime format and uses new compression algorithms to allow a period of longer recording times in the same space.
Other formats that are used in cameras but not in the photos are the DCF, an ISO specification for the structure and file naming internal camera, DPOF indicating how many copies will be printed and in what order and Exif format, which uses metadata tags to document the camera settings and the date and time that the photographs were obtained.

Museum of Science and Technology The World’s Largest, Guangdong Science Center

This is the Museum of Science and Technology of the largest in the world.

Museum of Science and Technology of Guangdong in China reached 450,000 square meters wide, wider than Tiananmen Square, and was built with a fund of Rp 2.5 trillion from the government.

Its contents consist of 8 spacious main exhibition space, 4 cinemas science (!), Two open laboratories that can be used generally, and the digital space for the family. Everything is supported with multimedia equipment, audio / video, high definition wide screen television, and today’s most sophisticated computers.

Eight main exhibition space consists of Childrens World, Experience and Discovery, Transportation World, Digital World, Green Home, Dream Flight, The Human Body and Health, and the Perception and Thinking.

There we will be able to see various things ranging from the history of science and technology, advanced technology today, until the world of the future. We can learn from Einstein, Newton or Leonardo da Vinci, we can learn about the human journey to the moon, the greatest discoveries in the world, the universe, television and multimedia technology of the future, or the design of the futuristic cars and buildings.

These are great goals to be achieved in the development of its space China :

1. The progress of China’s space technology.
2. Enhanced China’s prestige in the world and Promoted China’s economic, scientific and national defense capabilities.
3. Inspired patriotism and national cohesiveness.
4. Fostered the interests of China’s people in the vast rural regions on science and technology.
5. Chinese Scientists mastered the technology for a multi-person, multi-day space mission.
6. Marked China’s commitment to Becoming a global space power.
7. Shenzhou 6 mission was a major step forward in China’s Ambition of building a space station and probing the moon. Shenzhou Spacecraft is being used to develop manned spaceflight techniques and in the future may serve as a ferry to Chinese space stations and as a lunar orbital and landing spacecraft.

India, whose economy is more advanced also has big ambitions to start exploring space.

Towards a Space Age, China and India
Chinese astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, above the Earth’s orbit
September 2008

China, in September 2008 has become the nation’s 3rd
in the history of the astronauts conduct space-walk, walk in space.

With all the progress, China is very eager to pursue the American in the race to master space. To popularize its space program, China has built cities “Space”, Space Cities, namely Dong Feng Space City (Base 20), Beijing Space City, Wenchang City Space, Space City Shanghai, Yantai Space City, and Guizhou Space City (Base 061).

The astronauts are highly revered great in China

Budget for the space program China has now surpassed U.S. $ 1 billion. This is just less than a tenth of NASA’s budget (U.S. $ 16 billion), but with the speed of China’s economic growth (and foreign exchange reserves of 2 trillion dollars!), Is not impossible that China will eventually become the nation’s first American precede the return reaches the Moon in the 21st Century (2020).

China will also soon launch its space station Tiangong-1 (Palace in Space, Heavenly Palace) next year, around the end of 2011.

Entering the Era of Hyper-Sonic, Scramjet

Scramjet will be one of the main biggest revolution in the history of world transportation. The most advanced fighter in the world today, the American F/A-22 Raptor’s maximum speed of Mach 2, or 2 times the speed of sound. Scramjet aircraft passengers, will bring you to fly at 10 times the speed of sound, Mach 10.

Flights from New York to Tokyo are now taken within 18 hours of a long and tiring, to be followed Scramjet, in just 120 minutes.

Scramjet does not need to wear ordinary rocket fuel is expensive and heavy, using liquid hydrogen fuel is mixed with oxygen suction directly from the atmosphere (air-breathing scramjet engine). Combustion of hydrogen and oxygen at supersonic speed is what will accelerate the speed.

This will make the flight from one place to another around the world to be super fast.

In the 80′s and 90′s all the kids in the world, Indonesia is also infatuated with Superheroes, super heroes, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Green Lantern, and many others.

superhero comics is not just about the story exciting, they are the greatest symbols of excellence and heroism of mankind (or Kriptonian), perfect-bodied, tall and muscular like the Greek gods, has super strength, highly intelligent, courageous, but above all, they are fighters of the main defenders of truth and justice on Earth and throughout the universe.

Here’s a glimpse of stories about them ..

Superman, The Man of Steel.

Superman is not human Earth.
Superman, aka, Kal-El, aka Clark Kent, coming from distant planets outside our solar system, 50 light years from Earth, a planet called Krypton.

By his parents, Jor-El, a scientist, he was rushed to the Earth with a rocket after knowing the whole planet Krypton will be destroyed in the explosion of massive stars in supernova scale. None survived the supernova explosion, the Kryptonian race will end, because the machine that makes the ancient name of Eradicator would instantly die if they leave the planet.

But DNA infant Kal-El had manipulated his father so that he can be saved to the Earth. During the journey to Earth, Jor-El via memory crystal taught thousands of years of human knowledge and of the Planet Earth into the minds of Kal-El.

After arriving on Earth, Kal-El turned out to be having super powers. This is because of Krypton has a higher gravity than Earth. When found by her adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, Kal-El small to lift their cars as easily as playing.

Fountain Of Youth, Resveratrol

Maybe, later we can find something that allows us to live hundreds of years. But scientists may have found it, something called “sirtuins”, Silent Information Regulator 2 (Sir2) proteins and resveratrol, substances which turned out a lot of antioxidant found in red grapes (so frequently eat grapes.)

But scientists also have created something even more powerful than resveratrol is a drug with a code, SRT1720.

“SRT1720 is a thousand times more potent than resveratrol, meaning That it Could be taken in Smaller doses. A person would have to drink Hundreds of glasses of wine to get the same health benefits from resveratrol. Resveratrol Will pretty soon look like ancient technology, ” David Sinclair, a biologist at Harvard Medical School

Singularity.

Someday, there will come a time when the entire human genetic engineering will have a physical and near-perfect intelligence.

Then, with advances in computer technology, quantum computers and nanotechnology allow humans to enter the Quantum Computer-sized particles into his brain and using nano particles to further strengthen his body. This is called a singularity. Union between human biology with technology.

Space Elevator, Stairs Towards Stars

Space elevator or stairs Outer space is like an elevator that is very high from the earth toward the earth in outer space orbit, 35,000 kilometers in height. With this elevator trip to orbit the Earth will become easier, and cheaper.

Many people hoped that the space program that had been stopped up at the moon because it is very expensive, will be started again. And maybe the human dream to go to Mars, will materialize.

This elevator was originally just a fantasy, but it proved with the discovery of a new technology, it becomes very possible to be realized. Carbon nanotube technology is, new material is said to be stronger than diamonds and lighter than steel.

This will allow the start of a new era in  space Adventure.

The advantage of this system compared to analog photography is that you have recorded images instantly, without having to carry the film to the lab and reveal the negative to see the images, this speed advantage in the availability of image allows the photographer to make changes at the time and make the appropriate corrections immediately consider making it easier to achieve the image you want.
In the digital camera can be viewed on a screen the photos you just took. The camera can be connected to a computer or other device capable of displaying photos on a monitor. As with computer format, the photos can be sent directly by e-mail , posted on the web and can be processed with photo processing programs on a computer to zoom in and make a frame (a part of the picture), correct colors and brightness, and perform many other possible modifications according to the program used. Another great advantage of digital photography is that every time the camera takes a picture creates a file and stored in memory capture important information such as date, time, aperture, shutter speed, speed of ISO This information is very useful to study the images and understand more about each photo and also facilitates the ordering and management of photo files.
Other useful resources that exist in digital photography is the histogram of brightness, which is a graph showing the distribution of image pixels according to the brightness and histogram RGB showing the distribution of pixels in the different RGB channels, as its acronym English: A network, G green, B blue. This resource does not exist in analog photography.
Professional digital cameras have the option to customize different types of users, allowing adjustment important image features such as saturation, contrast, sharpness and color tone. Additionally allow custom handling of white balance, which can vary significantly gamut and can capture images in black and white, sepia, filters, etc. The quick and easy to control the speed of ISO helps solve the problems of lack or excess of light.
The cost compared with the analog system for printed photo is smaller. Whereas it can take multiple shots and select and print only the best photographs.
Technology has brought digital cameras to mobile phones by increasing the number of users of photography and growing exponentially the new models improve the optical quality and image resolution, this has caused the task of the photographer must be rethought and restructured .
Digital photography has revolutionized the photographic medium. The images are increasingly screens that paper.
In the 2010 and there are millions of users who share their images through social networks like Facebook and other specialized web sites like Flickr , Picasa , which store, sort, search and share photos online
