#Cellphone Application Development

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Hey miss raven! How are you? Recently i read trey story event card Al'ab Nariya. They are discussing about flames reaction from mixing gunpowder with various metals causing coloured flames in fireworks. Trey said because magic is not common among people, humans relying on science on other thing. Does that mean magic and science coexist together in twst world? How about technology development does that involved colab on magitek and science? Like the magiwheel. They are magitek but does science also involved in the development? Then we have the infamous STYX organization on their research on blot. From what we see, they have more advanced technology than what the general public have. Like the flying cars, the building itself and ortho new gear clearly they combine magitek and science to help their research with blot. Trey also implied that science club also researched on science competition. We all know NRC is magic academy but do they also learn about science? Then does NRC has science in their curriculum like biology, physics and chemistry? A lot of question still inside my brain i cant say more about it 😅 sorry it's turning into a wall of text i just can't get that off! I hope you have a great day! Cheers!

As I’ve theorized in this post, the basis for Twisted Wonderland’s society is the mundane, not the magical. Most of society operates without magic, and that extends to schooling and jobs. Since most people don’t have the capacity for magic, most schools teach normal subjects and those students go on to acquire normal occupations. Magic exists on its own (potions, magic mirrors), non-magic exists on its own (traditional medicine, cellphones), AND a mix of the two exists (healing potions, looking mirrors).

There are many instances within TWST when characters will make reference to “normal” things, such as Trey talking about chemistry and elements from the periodic table in the Silk Adorned vignette (already mentioned by anon). Azul and Deuce frequently mention mathematics or doing arithmetic (usually in regards to money), so non-magical math is implied. Topics like biology and physics are also either directly stated or alluded to. Crewel is even stated to lead the “Science” department at NRC. I would imagine that, similar to theory before application, NRC students need to know these non-magical subjects before combining them in practice with magic.

The same probably applies for the development of inventions that incorporate magical and non-magical elements; there would have to at least be mages trained in the non-magical variant of whatever field they’re in in order to safely and ethically incorporate magic into new medicine or technology. STYX for example is stated to recruit people with low magical reserves, so they are not proficient mages despite having access to crazy tech. Those employees must have hard and technical skills to make them competent researchers of blot.

American R&B singer Aliaune Thiam, professionally known as Akon, has long wanted to help Senegal, the country he grew up in. He started Akon Lighting Africa in 2014 to install cheap Chinese solar-powered lighting systems across the continent. He hoped to do something more significant for Senegal. But how to fund it?

The answer turned out to be the same one adopted by a growing number of governments and entrepreneurs: a mixture of cryptocurrency and urban planning. It’s a combination that offers the promise of development without any of the tricky details—and which tends to turn out to be little more than vaporware. There was Bitcoin City in El Salvador, but also Painted Rock in Nevada, Satoshi Island in Vanuatu, Cryptoland in Fiji, or the Crypto-Kingdom of Bitcointopia in Utah.

In 2018, Akon announced a new cryptocurrency, to be called “akoin.” Akoin would enable Africans to, as the singer put it at a launch event, “advance themselves independent of the government”—in some manner. Most importantly, akoin would fund the creation of Akon City, an advanced planned city to be built in Senegal. Akon announced akoin and Akon City at the Cannes Lions Festival in June 2018. Akon said in November of that year that he had “everything planned out” for the city. But both Akon City and the akoin token remained only ideas for many months.

Akon was interested by the promises of cryptocurrency—specifically, free money by some unclear mechanism—but he was not up on the details of its technical or financial issues: “I come with the concepts and let the geeks figure it out,” he said. The akoin team featured initial coin offering (ICO) entrepreneurs such as Lynn Liss of ICO Impact and Crystal Rose Pierce.

The akoin cryptocurrency was pre-sold in a 2019 crypto token offering called “token of appreciation.” Each dollar “donation” would give you up to four tokens which would convert to akoin.

Akoin had not launched in Senegal at the time, despite billboards across the country. The West African CFA franc is the only legal currency in Senegal; BCEAO, the central bank, warned that akoin could not be used as a currency in the country.

Akoin promised all manner of functionality—special akoin wallet software, direct exchange with other cryptocurrencies or with cellphone minutes, an application marketplace, various “building blocks for entrepreneurship.” None of this was ever implemented.

Akoin finally started trading on a crypto exchange in November 2020. The akoin token didn’t do anything or have any particular utility; it was just a crypto token that you could trade. Pre-sale buyers dumped their akoin immediately and the price crashed. That’s not unusual: As of 2022, 24 percent of new cryptos fell 90 percent or more in their first week.

Akon posted on social media in January 2020 that he had “finalized the agreement for AKON CITY in Senegal”—though he had previously claimed that construction had already started in March 2019. The new city would be built near the small town of Mbodiène, about 100 kilometers south of the capital, Dakar.

Akon City would be a “smart city” inspired by the futuristic African nation of Wakanda from the 2018 movie Black Panther. The city would feature boldly curved skyscrapers, shopping malls, music and movie studios, “eco-friendly” tourist resorts, and a parking garage for flying cars.

Akon claimed in August 2020 that $2 billion of the $6 billion needed to build Akon City had been secured. He laid the foundation stone for the city on Aug. 31, 2020, and said that construction would start “next year,” in 2021.

Construction did not start in 2021, to the disappointment of locals. It was not clear where the $6 billion needed to build Akon City would come from. A representative for KE International, the United States-based contractor for Akon City, told AFP that more than $4 billion had been secured, with Kenyan entrepreneur Julius Mwale as lead investor, and that construction would start in October 2021—but it did not.

By 2022, Akon told the BBC that construction was “100,000 percent moving.” He said the COVID-19 pandemic was partly to blame for the delays. Akon was surprised at the “thousands of studies” that had to be done before work could even commence.

Senegal’s Society for the Development and Promotion of Coasts and Tourist Zones (SAPCO) had claimed the land by eminent domain in 2009 before offering it to Akon City in 2020. By 2023, no building work had been done at the Akon City site—though Axiome Construction insisted that geotechnical studies and environmental assessments were still under way. By this time, according to the Guardian, the only construction was a youth center nearby in Mbodiène, paid for personally by Akon—and built upon the foundation stone that he had laid in 2020.

Senegal finally lost patience with the project. Akon had missed several payments to SAPCO, and in June of this year, SAPCO sent a formal notice to Akon warning that work had to start by the end of July or SAPCO might take back almost all of the land grant.

Akon had already been looking for other opportunities to place akoin. In April 2021, he started talking to Uganda about setting up an Akon City there as well. In January 2022, the Ugandan government allocated him one square mile in Mpunge, in the Mukono district—despite objections from the National Unity Platform party and protests from Mpunge residents wanting compensation, which could not be paid before 2025.

Akon said that Akon City, Uganda, might be completed by 2036. At a 2021 news conference, he evaded questions on what the new city would cost or how it would be funded. The Forum for Democratic Change party said that the Ugandan Akon City would never happen and accused the government of granting “sweetheart deals” to developers.

Akon City was tech solutionism that leveraged the political power of celebrity. Akon wanted to launch a large project and thought that cryptocurrency, the buzzword of 2018, might fund his dream. He thought that this one weird trick would do the job.

In this case, the miracle technology was crypto. These days, such  pushes by celebrities or entrepreneurs of new projects will typically use artificial intelligence—whatever that might mean in a particular case—as the marketing hook for a “smart city.

In his 2023 book Let Them Eat Crypto, Peter Howson of Northumbria University detailed how to head off solutionism-inspired blockchain projects that were heavy on publicity but light on the necessary bureaucratic work on the ground. His approach is broadly applicable to tech solutionism in general: Pay attention to the men behind the curtain. Howson has written recently on “smart city” plans as marketing for crypto tokens.

The Akon City plan was a worked example of speculative urbanization. A project is proposed with science-fiction concept drawings and a pitch aimed at tourists rather than locals; land is allocated; something might eventually be built, but it will bear little resemblance to the brochures. Christopher Marcinkoski of the University of Pennsylvania described Akon City as just one of many such initiatives, particularly in Africa, calling it “very much a real estate play.” The important output from such projects is local political capital—even as they never work out as advertised.

Cryptocurrency was an application of speculative urbanization to money—a high concept, a pitch to financial tourists, and the only end result being a token to speculate on and a tremendous amount of fraud. The Akon City project, however good Akon’s own intentions, seems functionally to have been merely the pitch for a crypto offering that failed—leaving an empty site, disappointed locals, and an embarrassed figurehead.

By 2024, akoin had been removed from the few crypto exchanges it had been listed on; it was effectively worthless. Akon sold short videos on Cameo—but he would not do requests related to cryptocurrency.

The speculative urbanization pitch rolls on. Actor Idris Elba has recently floated plans for an “environmentally friendly smart city” on Sherbro Island off Sierra Leone.

How do superconductors work? A physicist explains what it means to have resistance-free electricity

The modern world runs on electricity, and wires are what carry that electricity to every light, television, heating system, cellphone and computer on the planet. Unfortunately, on average, about 5% of the power generated at a coal or solar power plant is lost as the electricity is transmitted from the plant to its final destination. This amounts to a US$6 billion loss annually in the U.S. alone.

For decades, scientists have been developing materials called superconductors that transmit electricity with nearly 100% efficiency. I am a physicist who investigates how superconductors work at the atomic level, how current flows at very low temperatures, and how applications such as levitation can be realized. Recently, researchers have made significant progress toward developing superconductors that can function at relatively normal temperatures and pressures.

To see why these recent advances are so exciting and what impact they may have on the world, it's important to understand how superconducting materials work.

I use DeviantArt for randomized Quirks and this is one of them that needs development. Would love your feedback and more ideas from you bc you are amazing at making not just quirks but QMs

Hack: The quirk user is able to hack into any device or electronic

I normally wouldn't cover such a vague idea, but I think this would be a good chance to cover hacking Quirks.

Considering how common and advanced technology is in the setting, you should really work to define the Quirk further. Because saying that can hack into any advice is pretty broad. You need to figure out how the user is hacking something, how much the Quirk can affect it, and to what degree it can affect something. As always, a good rule of thumb is that the more the user can target with the Quirk, whether that be with the range of the Quirk or what they can target with it, the more limited it should be, whether that be in the application of the Quirk or the drawbacks they have to deal with. So if you want to do something that can cover all machinery, or at least all computers, you should make it more costly on the user's part. For example, I've done a handful of Quirks related to hacking in the past. "Chip In" can let the user hack into other machinery, which is the basic premise of your idea, but they need to be able to plug into it and they need to be able to concrete on it to make it work. And there are other ways to go about it. "Blackout" can affect a wider variety of targets at longer ranges, but is more limit in how it interacts with tech. "Phone In" can let the user intercept and interfere with electronic communications, but only from cellphones.

From Mars Rovers to Factory Assembly Lines - NASA

From Mars Rovers to Factory Assembly Lines - NASA

NASA-funded AI technology enabling autonomous rovers and drones now keeps an eye on conveyor belts

Artificial intelligence software initially designed to learn and analyze Martian terrain is now at the heart of a system to monitor assembly lines on Earth. 

The vision inspection software from Neurala Inc., an artificial intelligence company in Boston, Massachusetts, works with existing cameras, computers, and even cellphones to monitor the quality of products running along a conveyor belt, for instance.  

“Our software can learn very quickly on a processor with a very small footprint, a skill we learned working with NASA,” said Neurala cofounder and CEO Massimiliano Versace. “By doing so, we enable vision inspection with whatever components are already available, deploying in minutes. In our exploration of the market, we realized that the manufacturing space had a precise need for this technology.”

Versace and Neurala (Spinoff 2018) began working with NASA more than a decade ago on a project funded through the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. NASA was interested in “adaptive bio-inspired navigation for planetary exploration,” and Versace and his team had been working on neural network AI software modeled on the human brain. 

Focusing on a rover concept that could independently learn to traverse Martian terrain, Neurala went on to win STTR Phase II funding for the project. Additional money from a NASA Center Innovation Fund enabled the Neurala team to adapt its technology to drone navigation and collision avoidance. 

In both the rover and the drone applications, the Neurala software could run on a small device on the vehicle itself, eliminating the delay of sending signals to a decision maker in another location. Since then, the company developed the software to help monitor assembly lines.

Onsite computing is an advantage in manufacturing, as well, where an assembly line may have a hundred items passing every minute, making visual inspections for quality control difficult.

Consumer Behavior Analysis: Insights from Sikkim Manipal University

Hello, curious brains and fans of marketing! Have you ever wondered why you consistently eat the same sort of cereal or why you can't resist purchasing the newest technology? It is primarily the subject of consumer behavior analysis, and Sikkim Manipal University (SMU) is researching this fascinating subject.

Let's examine some intriguing results from studies and research on consumer behavior conducted at Sikkim Manipal Distance MBA.

Why Does Consumer Behavior Matter So Much? Let's define the subject before we get started: "Consumer behavior" describes the motivations behind and techniques used by customers when making and using purchases. It blends psychology, sociology, and economics. In essence, it's what drives consumers. Understanding this is gold for businesses trying to sell their products or services. Now, let's see what SMU has cooked up in this field.

SMU's Take on Consumer Behavior

Sikkim Manipal University doesn't merely teach textbook theories. They are getting their hands dirty by doing real-world research and developing practical applications.

Here is the scoop: The Digital Consumer: Not Only Millennials SMU researchers discovered that mobile shopping is not limited to young people.

Here's what they discovered:

Sixty-five percent of SMU study respondents over 50 said they made internet purchases with their cellphones.

Not just Millennials and Gen Z, but people of all ages are impacted by social media when making purchases.

The primary takeaway is that not all youth are tech-savvy buyers.

The Power of Social Proof

SMU's marketing department ran a cool experiment on campus:

They set up two coffee stands with identical prices and coffee.

One stand had a sign saying "Students' Favorite," while the other didn't.

Result? The "Students' Favorite" stand sold 30% more coffee.

Key Takeaway: People trust other people's opinions.When you incorporate social proof into your marketing, sales will rise!

Emotional branding: Emotions are the key.

SMU's consumer psychology course investigated why we're loyal to specific companies.

 Turns out, it's not always about the product itself:

Emotionally invested brands have a 52% higher lifetime value from their customers.

People who have an emotional attachment to a company are prepared to spend up to 200% more for it.

The main lesson is to sell a feeling rather than just a product. Get them to feel something, and their wallets will open.

The decision paradox: less is more.

In an SMU study on consumer decision-making, an unexpected finding was made. When too many options are offered to them, clients frequently become overwhelmed and are unable to make a selection at all.

Reducing options can actually increase sales and customer satisfaction.

Key Takeaway: Sometimes little is more. Do not overload your consumers with too many options.

The Future of Consumer Behavior: SMU's Crystal Ball

SMU is observing not just the present but also the direction that consumer behavior will take in the future. They are searching for the following:

AI-Powered Customization: Visualize advertisements that predict your tastes. Try before you purchase with augmented reality shopping—all from the comfort of your couch.

The Subscription Economy: You can subscribe to anything instead of buying it all?

Ethical Consumerism: People are more concerned about where their goods come from.

Wrapping It Up: Your Consumer Behavior Toolkit

So, what can you take away from SMU's consumer behavior insights? Here's your cheat sheet:

Don't underestimate any age group in digital marketing.

Use social proof - people trust other people.

Connect emotionally with your customers.

Sometimes, offering fewer choices can lead to more sales.

Keep an eye on emerging trends like AI and AR in shopping.

Remember, understanding consumer behavior is not limited to large firms. These insights might be extremely useful if you own a small business, work in marketing, or simply want to better understand your personal shopping patterns. Sikkim Manipal Corresponding Courses is conducting some remarkable studies in this sector. Therefore, the next time you're going to click "buy now," pause and think about what's driving your choice. Keep learning, stay curious, and be happy shopping (or selling)!

New substrate material for flexible electronics could help combat e-waste

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/new-substrate-material-for-flexible-electronics-could-help-combat-e-waste/

New substrate material for flexible electronics could help combat e-waste

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a rapidly growing global problem, and it’s expected to worsen with the production of new kinds of flexible electronics for robotics, wearable devices, health monitors, and other new applications, including single-use devices.

A new kind of flexible substrate material developed at MIT, the University of Utah, and Meta has the potential to enable not only the recycling of materials and components at the end of a device’s useful life, but also the scalable manufacture of more complex multilayered circuits than existing substrates provide.

The development of this new material is described this week in the journal RSC: Applied Polymers, in a paper by MIT Professor Thomas J. Wallin, University of Utah Professor Chen Wang, and seven others.

“We recognize that electronic waste is an ongoing global crisis that’s only going to get worse as we continue to build more devices for the internet of things, and as the rest of the world develops,” says Wallin, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. To date, much academic research on this front has aimed at developing alternatives to conventional substrates for flexible electronics, which primarily use a polymer called Kapton, a trade name for polyimide.

Most such research has focused on entirely different polymer materials, but “that really ignores the commercial side of it, as to why people chose the materials they did to begin with,” Wallin says. Kapton has many advantages, including excellent thermal and insulating properties and ready availability of source materials.

The polyimide business is projected to be a $4 billion global market by 2030. “It’s everywhere, in every electronic device basically,” including parts such as the flexible cables that interconnect different components inside your cellphone or laptop, Wang explains. It’s also widely used in aerospace applications because of its high heat tolerance. “It’s a classic material, but it has not been updated for three or four decades,” he says.

However, it’s also virtually impossible to melt or dissolve Kapton, so it can’t be reprocessed. The same properties also make it harder to manufacture the circuits into advanced architectures, such as multilayered electronics. The traditional way of making Kapton involves heating the material to anywhere from 200 to 300 degrees Celsius. “It’s a rather slow process. It takes hours,” Wang says.

The alternative material that the team developed, which is itself a form of polyimide and therefore should be easily compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure, is a light-cured polymer similar to those now used by dentists to create tough, durable fillings that cure in a few seconds with ultraviolet light. Not only is this method of hardening the material comparatively fast, it can operate at room temperature.

The new material could serve as the substrate for multilayered circuits, which provides a way of greatly increasing the number of components that can be packed into a small form factor. Previously, since the Kapton substrate doesn’t melt easily, the layers had to be glued together, which adds steps and costs to the process. The fact that the new material can be processed at low-temperature while also hardening very quickly on demand could open up possibilities for new multilayer devices, Wang says.

As for recyclability, the team introduced subunits into the polymer backbone that can be rapidly dissolved away by an alcohol and catalyst solution. Then, precious metals used in the circuits, as well as entire microchips, can be recovered from the solution and reused for new devices.

“We designed the polymer with ester groups in the backbone,” unlike traditional Kapton, Wang explains. These ester groups can be easily broken apart by a fairly mild solution that removes the substrate while leaving the rest of the device unharmed. Wang notes that the University of Utah team has co-founded a company to commercialize the technology. 

“We break the polymer back into its original small molecules. Then we can collect the expensive electronic components and reuse them,” Wallin adds. “We all know about the supply chain shortage with chips and some materials. The rare earth minerals that are in those components are highly valuable. And so we think that there’s a huge economic incentive now, as well as an environmental one, to make these processes for the recapture of these components.”

The research team included Caleb Reese and Grant Musgrave at the University of Utah, and Jenn Wong, Wenyang Pan, John Uehlin, Mason Zadan and Omar Awartani at Meta’s Reality Labs in Redmond, Washington. The work was supported by a startup fund at the Price College of Engineering at the University of Utah.
