Many stakeholders are concerned that Hong Kong is ‘losing its competitive edge’. A recent research report finds that non-positive interventionism no longer works and Hong Kong’s research funding model needs improvement. Hong Kong should rejuvenate technology development through high-level government leadership by informing government decision- making with professional and technical expertise, nurturing human capital and technological talent and facilitating innovation collaboration.

Wind turbine is a device that will convert wind into mechanical movement, which we can use to power water pump or electricity generator. Now the power that the turbine creates is obviously depended on the wind speed, it also depended obviously on the number of sails, the area of the sails and the angle of the sails makes to the wind. So you can imagine if the turbine blades flat onto the wind, the wind's going to just bend it, if there is slight angle when the wind hits it, it's going to turn the blades. We can use that for powering things. Now, we're going to have a go, making some of the very, very simple paper windmills, a sort of things that you can make from the bits and pieces lying around home, and use that to drive very small generator to power electronic devices.

Nonprofit organizations in Brazil are facing numerous challenges in their efforts to restore the decimated portions of the Amazon rainforest. These organizations are combating illegal land-grabbing, limited budgets, and the difficulties of cultivating native trees on a large scale. Despite these obstacles, reforestation projects have the potential to mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide and preserving wildlife habitats.

Artificial Neural Networks have recently become the state-of-the-art technique for crucial signal processing applications such as specific frequencies classification, structural health monitoring, diseases detection in power electronic circuitry, and motor-fault detection. This is an unexpected outcome as there are numerous advantages of using an adaptive and compact deep counterparts.

Muscle is a star player in keeping your body happy and healthy in the long-term, for several reasons. For starters, lean muscle mass can help manage blood sugar, keeping type 2 diabetes at bay. In fact, one 2017 cohort study found a negative association between muscle mass and risk of developing of type 2 diabetes. “The number one consumer of blood sugar in the human body is skeletal muscle,” says Tim Church, a professor of preventive medicine. So, the more muscle you have, the greater your potential to metabolize blood sugar.
Also, as you age, you’ll want a healthy amount of muscle, rather than fat. “Muscle is a commonly overlooked marker of healthy aging,” Church says. You lose about 1-2% of muscle
mass starting around age 40 or 45, he adds. This age-related decline in muscle is known as sarcopenia, and it’s one of the biggest reasons many older adults can no longer do simple
tasks without help. “You can’t put your jacket on, you can’t push yourself off the toilet, and you can’t get yourself off the ground after you fall,” Church says. “It all comes down to strength and muscle mass”.
What’s even better news is that muscle can further help you maintain a healthy weight by raising your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn at rest. “That number has been widely discussed and argued over the years,” saysJoel Seedman, a neuromuscular
physiologist. “But we do know the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism”.
Lastly and least importantly, at least pertaining to health, the density of muscle might cause it to weigh more, it also means it takes up less space in the body. “If someone gains 10 pounds of muscle, a lot of times they’ll barely notice that on their body,” Seedman says.

Under normal conditions, vivid dream mentation combined with muscle difficulties characterizes rapid eye movement sleep. Since its first description in 1986 by Dr. Carlos and his group's subsequent report of the delayed emergence of a disorder in patients one decade later, RBD has emerged in recent years as one of the most promising markers of sleep behavior problems.

450 million people today face water shortages but people in rich countries are wasting water. We are used to turning on the tap and having fresh running water whenever we want it. Each person needs 80 litters of water per day for health and hygiene. The average American uses 500 litters per day.
