Decline in Sun's Activity Does Not Always Mean That Earth Becomes Cooler, Study Shows

2010-10-07T00:23:00.000-07:00

ScienceDaily (Oct. 6, 2010) — The Sun's activity has recently affected Earth's atmosphere and climate in unexpected ways, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. The study, by researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Colorado, shows that a decline in the Sun's activity does not always mean that Earth becomes cooler.

Inversion (meteorology)

It is well established that the Sun's activity waxes and wanes over an 11-year cycle and that as its activity wanes, the overall amount of radiation reaching Earth decreases. This latest study looked at the Sun's activity over the period 2004-2007, when it was in a declining part of its 11-year activity cycle.
Although the Sun's activity declined over this period, the new research shows that it may have actually caused Earth to become warmer. Contrary to expectations, the amount of energy reaching Earth at visible wavelengths increased rather than decreased as the Sun's activity declined, causing this warming effect.
Following this surprising finding, the researchers behind the study believe it is possible that the inverse is also true and that in periods when the Sun's activity increases, it tends to cool, rather than warm, Earth. This is based on what is already known about the relationship between the Sun's activity and its total energy output.
Overall solar activity has been increasing over the past century, so the researchers believe it is possible that during this period, the Sun has been contributing a small cooling effect, rather than a small warming effect as had previously been thought.
Professor Joanna Haigh, the lead author of the study who is Head of the Department of Physics and member of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, said: "These results are challenging what we thought we knew about the Sun's effect on our climate. However, they only show us a snapshot of the Sun's activity and its behaviour over the three years of our study could be an anomaly.
"We cannot jump to any conclusions based on what we have found during this comparatively short period and we need to carry out further studies to explore the Sun's activity, and the patterns that we have uncovered, on longer timescales. However, if further studies find the same pattern over a longer period of time, this could suggest that we may have overestimated the Sun's role in warming the planet, rather than underestimating it."

Professor Sir Brian Hoskins, the Director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, added: "We know that the Earth's climate is affected both by human activity and by natural forces and today's study improves our understanding of how the Sun influences our climate. Studies like this are vital for helping us to create a clear picture of how our climate is changing and through this, to work out how we can best protect our planet."
The researchers used satellite data and computer modelling to analyse how the spectrum of radiation and the amount of energy from the Sun has been changing since 2004. Instruments on the SORCE satellite have been measuring the Sun's energy output at many different wavelengths. The researchers fed the data from SORCE into an existing computer model of Earth's atmosphere and compared their results with the results obtained using earlier, less comprehensive, data on the solar spectrum.

NSN Menuju Jaringan Optik 400 Gbps
Ardhi Suryadhi - detikinet

Ilustrasi (Ist.)

Jakarta - Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) berhasil melakukan uji coba mentransmisikan data dengan kecepatan 200 Gigabit per detik (Gbps) melalui serat optik standar. Ini pun menjadi batu loncatan NSN dalam menggapai kecepatan 400 Gbps.

Uji coba tersebut dilakukan menyusul pengumuman terbaru NSN mengenai peralatan Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) yang siap untuk kecepatan hingga 400 Gbps. Para operator jaringan diharapkan akan mulai menggelar jaringan optik yang siap 400 Gbps pada 2011.

"Nokia Siemens Networks telah berkali-kali menunjukkan kepemimpinannya dalam kapasitas jaringan optik. Uji coba terbaru kami menunjukkan bahwa saat ini mungkin sekali menggunakan kembali jaringan serat optik yang ada dan melipatgandakan kecepatan per panjang gelombang hingga 200 Gbps," kata Oliver Jahreis, Head of Product Management WDM Networks, NSN.

"Perkembangan ini merupakan tonggak sejarah penting dan menunjukkan bahwa kami berada di jalur yang tepat menuju pendekatan yang hemat biaya untuk jaringan 400 Gbps dan seterusnya," lanjutnya dalam keterangan tertulis yang dikutip detikINET, Senin (4/10/2010).

Ketika permintaan untuk jaringan transport kapasitas tinggi terus meningkat, para operator jaringan dinilai perlu meningkatkan kecepatannya per panjang gelombang dalam jaringan mereka yang sudah ada.

Hal ini akan membantu para operator mendapatkan hasil maksimal dari investasi mereka, karena menambah jalur serat optik tambahan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kapasitas merupakan pilihan yang mahal.

Perpindahan ke 400 Gbps adalah langkah berikut dalam penggelaran transport optik, menyusul jaringan 10/40/100 Gbps saat ini. Penggunaan kembali serat optik yang ada untuk evolusi menuju kapasitas jaringan yang lebih tinggi akan melindungi investasi para operator, serta memberikan kecepatan data yang lebih tinggi kepada pengguna akhir.

Microsoft Bangun 'Markas' di Sarang Software Bajakan

2010-03-02T10:18:00.000-08:00

Jakarta - Guna meredam penjualan software bajakan yang merajalela, Microsoft membuat langkah taktis. Vendor software raksasa itu membangun 'markas' di salah satu sarang software bajakan di Indonesia.

Markas yang dimaksud bernama Microsoft Zone dan dibangun di pusat penjualan elektronik Mangga Dua. Memang dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, tempat ini menjadi sarang jual beli software bajakan.

Microsoft Zone merupakan salah satu upaya perusahaan milik Bill Gates ini untuk memberikan pengetahuan yang mendalam tentang penggunaan software asli bagi pasar konsumer.

Di tempat ini, konsumen bisa mencoba teknologi baru Microsoft, mengikuti klinik diskusi dan pelatihan serta menjadi tempat mejeng bagi produk baru vendor elektronik mitra Microsoft.

"Pokoknya kita ingin berada di tengah-tengah konsumen, biar mereka kenal kita. Ini (Mangga Dua-red.) kan tempat strategis," ujar Sutanto Hartono, Presiden Direktur Microsoft Indonesia dalam pembukaan Microsoft Zone di Mangga Dua, Jakarta, Selasa (2/3/2010).

Microsoft Zone sendiri dilengkapi dengan 14 unit PC dari berbagai merek seperti Acer, Axioo, Byon, Dell, HP, Sony, Toshiba, dan Wearnes.

"Kami sangat serius dalam mengkampanyekan penggunaan software asli di Tanah Air dengan membawa produk asli lebih dekat dengan konsumen karena negara dengan tingkat pembajakan yang tinggi akan rentan terhadap ancaman keamanan berkomputasi," pungkas Sutanto.

Menurut lembaga analis IDC, tingkat pembajakan software di Indonesia pada 2008 lalu mencapai 87%.

Presentase ini tentu terbilang tinggi, bahkan menempatkan Indonesia di posisi ke-12 dalam negara dengan tingkat pembajakan software tertinggi di dunia. ( Detik.com / ash / faw )

Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., QUALCOMM is included in the S&P 500 Index and is a 2006 FORTUNE 500® company traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market® under the ticker symbol QCOM.

Smart Gelar EVDO Rev B Pertama di Asia Pasifik
Achmad Rouzni Noor II - detikinet

booth Smart (rou/inet)

Jakarta - Smart Telecom akan menggelar uji coba komersil jaringan pita lebar seluler berbasis teknologi lanjutan CDMA, EVDO Rev B, selama dua-tiga bulan mulai 10 Desember 2009 mendatang di pulau Dewata, Bali.

Menurut Ruby Hermanto, Division Head Core Product and Branding Smart Telecom, trial jaringan Rev B ini menjadikan Indonesia sebagai negara keempat di dunia dan pertama di Asia Pasifik yang melakukan uji coba komersil.

"Kami yang pertama gelar commercial trial di Asia Pasifik. Di dunia sudah ada tiga yang trial Rev B, yakni salah satu negara di Amerika latin, Jepang, dan kemudian China," ujarnya kepada detikINET di sela IndoComtech 2009 di Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta, Kamis (5/11/2009).

Tujuan Smart melakukan upgrade jaringan tak lain demi meningkatkan kualitas layanan data di ranah CDMA. Sebelumnya, Smart yang beroperasi di pita frekuensi 1900 MHz, mengandalkan jaringan EVDO Rev A yang tersebar di lima kota, Jabodetabek, Surabaya, Bandung, Bali, dan Yogyakarta.

"Total sampai dengan akhir tahun, Rev A sudah ada di 32 kota. Mulai dari Sumatera sampai Makassar. Namun, untuk yang Rev B sementara baru trial di Bali saja," lanjut Ruby.

Uji coba jaringan Smart yang berlangsung di Bali memanfaatkan dua kanal yang terdapat pada 48 base transceiver station (BTS) miliknya, dimana teknologinya menggunakan Qualcomm dan perangkat jaringan base station-nya milik ZTE.

"Bali kami pilih karena selain interest untuk layanan datanya tinggi, jaringan dan jangkauan kami di Pulau Dewata cukup mumpuni untuk diselenggarakan uji coba," kata Ruby.

EVDO Rev B adalah pengembangan teknologi Rev A yang mampu memberikan speed lebih cepat, yakni up to 9,3 Mbps untuk download dan 5,4 Mbps untuk upload. Sementara EVDO Rev A, kecepatannya hanya up to 3,1 Mbps untuk download dan 1,8 Mbps untuk upload.

"Dengan kecepatan hingga tiga kali lipat, pelanggan dapat merasakan layanan baru seperti high definition video streaming, video telephony, remote console, browsing, gaming, dan lainnya," terang Ruby.

Setelah uji coba di Bali nantinya dinyatakan terbukti berhasil, lanjut dia, Smart rencananya akan mengekspansi jaringan layanan teknologi Rev B tersebut secara nasional, mulai dari Jabodetabek, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, dan Padang.

Sementara untuk wilayah lain, Smart masih akan mengandalkan jaringan CDMA 1X yang di-upgrade menjadi jaringan EVDO Rev A di 32 kota meliputi Jawa, Sumatera, dan Sulawesi.

"Sampai kuartal pertama 2009, kami sudah punya 200 ribu pelanggan data dari total dua juta pelanggan seluler CDMA yang kami miliki," tandas Ruby. ( rou / faw )

[edit] Early history & Releases

Further information: 3ds Max release history

The original 3D Studio product was created for the DOS platform by the Yost Group and published by Autodesk. After 3D Studio Release 4, the product was rewritten for the Windows NT platform, and re-named "3D Studio MAX." This version was also originally created by the Yost Group. It was released by Kinetix, which was at that time Autodesk's division of media and entertainment. Autodesk purchased the product at the second release mark of the 3D Studio MAX version and internalized development entirely over the next two releases. Later, the product name was changed to "3ds max" (all lower case) to better comply with the naming conventions of Discreet, a Montreal-based software company which Autodesk had purchased. At release 8, the product was again branded with the Autodesk logo, and the name was again changed to "3ds Max" (upper and lower case). At release 2009, product name changed to "Autodesk 3ds Max".

[edit] Overview

3ds Max is the third most widely-used off the shelf 3D animation program by content creation professionals according to the Roncarelli report.^[1] It has strong modeling capabilities, a flexible plugin architecture and a long heritage on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is mostly used by video game developers, TV commercial studios and architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization.
In addition to its modeling and animation tools, the latest version of 3ds Max also features advanced shaders (such as ambient occlusion and subsurface scattering), dynamic simulation, particle systems, radiosity, normal map creation and rendering, global illumination, an intuitive and fully-customizable user interface, and its own scripting language.^[2] A plethora of specialized third-party renderer plugins, such as V-Ray, Brazil r/s , Maxwell Render, and finalRender, may be purchased separately.

Mental Ray

2009-09-11T18:04:00.000-07:00

Mental Ray is a rendering engine (the engine to render an image or video) found on the program 3D Studio Max, in addition to the standard max rendering the "Default Scanline". Mental Ray integrated with 3D Studio Max, so do not need to install separately. Mental ray has several advantages that can calculate the effects of Global Illumination and Indirect Illumination, but it can also use the shader on the surface of the image or light. Rendering engine other than Mental Ray is the V-Ray, Brazil R / S, Maxwell Render, Final Render, and so on. All these render engines have their merits.

V-Ray

This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2008)
Folded paper: SketchUp drawing rendered using V-Ray
Render created using V-Ray for Rhinoceros 3D, demonstrating the advanced effects V-Ray is capable of.
V-Ray is a rendering engine that is used as an extension of certain 3D computer graphics software.
The core developers of V-Ray are Vladimir Koylazov and Peter Mitev of Chaos Software production studio established in 1997, based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
It is a rendering engine that uses advanced techniques, for example global illumination algorithms such as path tracing, photon mapping, irradiance maps and directly computed global illumination. The use of these techniques often makes it preferable to conventional renderers which are provided as standard with 3d software, and generally renders using these technique can appear more photo-realistic, as actual lighting effects are more realistically emulated.
V-Ray is used in the development of film productions and multi-million dollar game productions.
It is also used extensively in making realistic 3D renderings for architecture.

Personal Computer (PC)

2009-08-30T11:36:00.000-07:00

A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator.

A personal computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, tablet computer or a palmtop. The most common current operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, while the most common microprocessors are x86-compatible CPUs, ARM architecture CPUs and PowerPC CPUs. Software applications for personal computers include word processing, spreadsheets, databases, Web browsers and e-mail games, and myriad personal productivity and special-purpose software. Modern personal computers often have high-speed or dial-up connections to the Internet, allowing access to the World Wide Web and a wide range of other resources. clients,

A PC may be used at home, or may be found in an office, often connected to a local area network (LAN). This is in contrast to the batch processing or time-sharing models which allowed large expensive systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time, or large data processing systems which required a full-time staff to operate efficiently.

While early PC owners usually had to write their own programs to do anything useful with the machines, today's users have access to a wide range of commercial and non-commercial software which is provided in ready-to-run form. Since the 1980s, Microsoft and Intel have been dominating much of the personal computer market with the Wintel platform.

Guide for Buying Graphic cards

2009-08-30T11:02:00.000-07:00

The graphics card is a vital performance component of your computer, particularly if you play 3D games, or work with graphics and video content. The graphics card sits in an expansion card slot in your PC and it is specifically designed to process image data and output it to your monitor, enabling you to see it. A graphics card works by calculating how images appear, particularly 3D images, and renders them to the screen. 3D images and video images take a lot of processing capacity, and many graphics processors are complex, require fans to cool them and need direct power supply. The graphics card consists of a graphics processor, a memory chip for graphics operations, and a RAMDAC for display output. It may also include video capture, TV output and SLI and other functions. You can find the graphics card that suits you by comparing specification between brands and vendors on Myshopping.com.au

At Myshopping.com.au you can compare a great range of appliances, and assess them according to their specifications, brands, prices and vendors.

Graphics Cards

What are your needs?

The first decision you need to make is whether you need a graphics card for handling 3D images or whether you are simply requiring 2D image rendering. For 2D requirements, you need only a low-cost solution. In many cases, an integrated graphics solution will suffice for 2D applications.

However with 3D graphics, the performance of the graphics card will impact directly on the frame rate and image quality of 3D programs and games. The differences between the low and high-end cards can be substantial, both in cost and performance.

Rendering 3D graphics is like lighting a stage, both the geometry of the shapes in question and the lighting of it need to be taken into account. The geometry of an image calculates the parts of an object that can and can't be seen, the position of the eye and its perspective. The lighting is a calculation of the direction of the light sources, their intensities and the respective shadows that occur. The second part to presenting a 3D image is the rendering of colours and textures to the surfaces of the objects, and modifying them according to light and other factors.

Most modern graphics cards include a small microchip called the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which are provide the algorithms and memory to process complex images. They reduce the workload of the main CPU, and provide faster processing. Different graphics cards have different capabilities in terms of processing power. They can render and refresh images up to 60 or more times per second, calculate shadows quickly, create image depth by rendering distant objects at low resolution, modify surface textures fluidly and eliminate pixelation.

What Specifications to Consider

Processor clock speed

This impacts on the rendering capability of the GRU. The clock speed itself is not the critical factor. Rather it is the per-clock performance of the graphics processor, which is indicated by the number of pixels it can process per clock cycle.

Memory size

This is the memory capacity that is used exclusively for graphics operations, and can be as much as 512MB. The more demanding your graphics applications are, the better you will be served with more memory on your graphics card.

16-32M

64M

128M

256M

512M

640M and more

Memory bandwidth

One thing that can slow down 3D graphics performance is the speed at which the computer delivers information to the graphics processor. A higher bandwidth means a faster data transfer, resulting in faster rendering speeds.

Shader model

DirectX Shader Models allows developers control over the appearance of an image as it is rendered on screen, introducing visual effects like multi-layered shadows, reflection and fog.

Fill rate

This is the speed at an image can be rendered or "painted". This rate is specified in texels per second, the number of 3D pixels that can be painted per second. A texel is a pixel with depth (3D). The fill rate comes from the combined performance of the clock speed of the processor and the number of pixels it can process per clock cycle, and will tell you how quickly an image can be fully rendered on screen.

Vertices/triangles

Graphics chips don't work on curves, rather they process flat surfaces. A curve is created by multiple flat planes arranged to look like a curve. 3D objects are created with multiple triangular surfaces, sometimes hundreds or even thousands, tessellated to represent the curves and angles of the real world. 3D artists are concerned with the number of polygons required to form a shape. There are two different types of specification: vertices per second (I.e., angles the triangles), and triangles per second. To compare one measure with the other, you have to take into account the fact that adjacent triangles share vertices.

Anti-aliasing

A technique used to smooth images by reducing the jagged stepping effect caused by diagonal lines and square pixels. Different levels of anti-aliasing have different effects on performance.

RAMDAC

The Random Access Memory Digital to Analogue Converter takes the image data and converts it to a format that your screen can use. A faster RAMDAC means that the graphics card can support higher output resolutions. Some cards have multiple RAMDACs allowing that card to support multiple displays.

TV-out

Some graphics cards provide the option to connect a television via either a composite (RCA) or S-Video connector. TV Out

S-video Out

S-video In and S-video Out (VIVO)

YPbPr Connection for HDTV

DVI

Some graphics cards include a connector for DVI monitors, handy because a lot of LCD screens support DVI. DVI offers better image quality than the standard VGA connector.

Dual-head

Dual-head is a term used when two monitors are used side by side, stretching your desktop across both.

SLI (Scalable Link Interface.)

With SLI you can couple two graphics cards in your computer, enabling each card to take half the rendering thereby doubling the performance.

When considering your graphics card, it pays to think about how much you need your computer to process your graphics output. Using a high end graphics card with a high pixels per clock rating, large memory, fast processor and other features means that you can run the latest games efficiently, or work in intensive graphics development.

Different Models

While there are many vendors of graphics cards, there are actually only two major manufacturers of chips for graphics cards. Nearly every graphics card on the market features a chip manufactured by either ATI or Nvidia. Cards using the same graphics chip will perform roughly the same as each other. However, even though they use the same chip, some feature slightly higher clock speeds, as well as manufacturer guaranteed overclocking-an even higher clock speed than that specified. Other factors that will influence your decision should include the amount of memory a card has (128MB, 256MB, 512MB) and its additional features, such as TV-Out and dual-screen support.
