# s-acad: la nipote di Jeff, dall'immediata sintesi

<< La musica cambia e oggi nasce soprattutto dalla tecnologia, è determinata da quanto sei bravo a premere pulsanti. Puoi fingere sempre, battere i pugni sul tavolo e farla diventare una batteria. La cosa triste è che la bravura rischia di scomparire >>

<< Un esempio: ho suonato un brano molto veloce davanti a mia nipote di otto anni e lei alla fine mi ha detto:  "Ci deve essere un bottone per farlo succedere automaticamente". Dopo venti anni di dedizione, anzi di asservimento alla chitarra, ecco cosa mi tocca sentire >> Jeff Beck

<< Global  warming  by  just  2  degrees  Celsius  is  likely  to  force  some  tropical  plant,  animal  and  human  populations  to  relocate  hundreds  of  miles  from their  current  homes  this  century >>

AA << foresee  dramatic  population  declines  in  Mexico,  Central  America,  Africa,  India  and  other  tropical locales  if  ecosystems  or  humans  move  due  to climate  change. In  their  analysis,  the  pair  used  a  model  to  demonstrate  how climate  dynamics  in  the  tropics  can  dramatically  magnify  the  consequences  of  climate change  as  it  is  experienced  on  the  ground.  This  means  even  small  climate  changes  can  have  dramatic  impacts. >>

AA << describe  climate-related  displacements  in  the  tropics  as  "an  almost  complete  evacuation  of  the  equatorial  band"  that  could impact  ecosystems  as  well  as  human  well-being. >>

# s-nanotech: displayed by an electronic tattoo

<< A new temporary "electronic tattoo" (..)  that can measure the activity of muscle and nerve cells (..) is poised to revolutionize medicine, rehabilitation, and even business and marketing research. >>

<< The tattoo consists of a carbon electrode, an adhesive surface that attaches to the skin, and a nanotechnology-based conductive polymer coating that enhances the electrode's performance. It records a strong, steady signal for hours on end without irritating the skin. >>

<< The electrode (..)  may improve the therapeutic restorationof damaged nerves and tissue -- and may even lead to new insights into our emotional life. >>

# s-phys: "entanglement entropy of a qubit", the begin ...

<< All systems are fundamentally quantum systems (..) but the means of describing in a quantum sense the chaotic behavior of, say, air molecules in an evacuated room, remains limited >>

<< To investigate, [AA] devised an experiment using three quantum bits, the basic computational units of the quantum computer >>

<< By manipulating these qubits with electronic pulses, [AA] caused them to interact, rotate and evolve in the quantum analog of a highly sensitive classical [chaotic] system >>

<< The result is a map of entanglement entropy of a qubit that, over time, comes to strongly resemble that of classical dynamics — the regions of entanglement in the quantum map resemble the regions of chaos on the classical map >>

# e-sec: brainjacking in medical implants

<< Here  are  some  real  examples  of  what  can  be  achieved  if  you  have  access  to  somebody’s  DBS [Deep Brain Stimulation] electrodes.  You  can  induce  mania,  hypersexuality,  and  even  pathological  gambling.  You  can modify  emotions.  Patients  undergoing  DBS  therapy  have  sometimes  experienced  pathological crying  and  inappropriate  laughter,  "likely  due  to  off-target  stimulation,"  says  the  paper.  Strong sensations  of  fear  and  panic  have  also  been  observed. >>
