RALEIGH, N.C. Spotting a cockroach is typically a disgusting experience, but such a sighting could elicit feelings of hope in the near future.
Researchers are working to perfect cyborg cockroaches that can detect survivors stuck in rubble after a disaster. North Carolina State University announced new technology Thursday that controls cockroaches behavior with electronic backpacks, which include high-resolution microphones.

More than 20 beaches in England will fail to meet new standards Almost all beaches currently meet basic standards for clean water Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach and Staithes failed tests this year In Wales all 101 beaches tested met the mandatory water standards
By Chris Kitching for MailOnline
Published: 05:30 EST, 11 November 2014 | Updated: 07:10 EST, 11 November 2014
More than 20 beaches in England are expected to fail cleanliness tests when tougher European standards are introduced next year, new figures show.
Almost all beaches in England (99.5 per cent) currently meet the basic standards for clean bathing water, but that figure is expected to drop to 94.5 per cent once the rules change.
Just two spots failed to reach the mandatory grade this year Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach in Dorset and Staithes in North Yorkshire.
Staithes, North Yorkshire was one of two spots that failed to reach the mandatory grade this year
The other spot that failed to make the grade in 2014 was Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach in Dorset
But five per cent of beaches which are currently meeting the minimum standards will be classed as poor next year, including Blackpool North, Blackpool Central, Lancashire and Seaton and East Looe in Cornwall.
The UK government said some areas remain vulnerable to the effects of heavy rainfall and pollution from human and animal sources.

"Its a myth that the sun is stationary. It rotates and revolves around its own axis. The sun is very important as it gives us life. Thus, all of us are star children." said professor S Natarajan to more than 35 children and adults at a Powai housing society. With a five inch reflector telescope, 49-year-old Mahim resident Natarajan has been spreading knowledge on astronomy for more than 18 years, and that too free of cost.
Natarajan graduated with a BA in English literature but has been passionate about astronomy ever since he was a child. "I was eight years old when my father showed me the north star and that's when I fell in love with this subject," said Natarajan who is also an honorary lecturer at Nehru planetarium since 1984.
What began in childrens' parks with a lot of suspicion from parents and elders, this endeavour has reached across India where he has conducted more than 3,000 lectures. Natarajan has travelled to small towns, villages and cities to educate literate as well as illiterate people about the various galaxies, constellations, planets, the moon, birth and death of stars and eclipses to dispel long held traditional beliefs. "The subject of astronomy is not taught well in school. It is my mission to create scientific temperament regarding this topic and to disprove superstitions. I got operated on my varicose veins on the day of the recent lunar eclipse," said Natarajan, who is also a BSNL employee.
Shalini Virat, whose children attended the program said that this was the second time they had invited professor Natarajan. "Three months ago we saw planets and the moon in the sky and when children see what they are taught in school, they retain it better,"she said.
Natarajan has travelled to Gujarat, Chandigarh, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Chandigarh, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh and wherever he goes, he only charges for conveyance and not for the lectures. Dr Uma Sivaraman, the assistant commissioner of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghatan in Chennai, has known him for more than 15 years. She has invited him to conduct more than 13 shows all over the country. "He is able to instill interest in children and you can see the joy on their faces when they see the night sky. These days children are so busy that they don't go out of the house, forget watching the night sky," she said over the phone.
Twenty one-year-old Pooja Tolia is another honorary lecturer at the planetarium who teaches the making of telescopes. She has been motivated by him to take up imparting of education on a bigger scale. "Many people confuse astronomy with astrology. With his style of teaching, people of all age groups understand the topic. He has helped me improve my communication skills and pushed me to conduct such programs," she said.
The next thing on Natarajan's timeline is approaching hotels for star gazing and other astronomy events. "Astronomy teaches man humility, which in turn boosts creativity and innovation," he said.

As part of an international collaboration, scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated how noise in a microwave amplifier is limited by self-heating at very low temperatures. The results will be published in the journal Nature Materials. The findings can be of importance for future discoveries in many areas of science such as quantum computers and radio astronomy.
Many significant discoveries in physics and astronomy are dependent upon registering a barely detectable electrical signal in the microwave regime. A famous example of this was the discovery of cosmic background radiation that helped confirm the Big Bang theory. Another example is the detection of data from scientific instruments in space missions on their way to distant planets, asteroids or comets.
Faint microwave signals are detected by transistor-based low-noise amplifiers. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have now optimised indium phosphide transistors using a special process for this purpose. A spin-off company from Chalmers, Low Noise Factory, designs and packages amplifier circuits.
"Cooling the amplifier modules to -260 degrees Celsius enables them to operate with the highest signal-to-noise ratio possible today," says Jan Grahn, Professor of microwave technology at Chalmers. "These advanced cryogenic amplifiers are of tremendous significance for signal detection in many areas of science, ranging from quantum computers to radio astronomy."
Using a combination of measurements and simulations, the researchers investigated what happens when a microwave transistor is cooled to one tenth of a degree above absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius). It was thought that noise in the transistor was limited by so-called hot electrons at such extreme temperatures. However, the new study shows that the noise is actually limited by self-heating in the transistor.
Self-heating is associated with phonon radiation in the transistor at very low temperatures. Phonons are quantum particles that describe the thermal conductivity of a material. The results of the study are based on experimental noise measurements and simulations of phonons and electrons in the semiconductor transistor at low temperatures.
"The study is important for the fundamental understanding of how a transistor operates close to absolute zero temperature, and also how we should design even more sensitive low-noise amplifiers for future detectors in physics and astronomy," explains Jan Grahn.
The research has been performed as part of an international exchange between Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the California Institute of Technology. Co-authors are the University of Salamanca and the Swedish company Low Noise Factory. The study was conducted at the Gigahertz Centre, a joint venture between Chalmers, research institutes, company partners and the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova).

Hyderabad, Nov 11 (IANS): The Telangana government will develop two more aerospace parks as part of its initiatives to garner 15 to 20 percent market share in aerospace and defence sector in next five years, officials said.
The aerospace park proposed over 1,000 acres near Ibrahimpatnam on Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway will be an extension of the existing aerospace Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Adiblatla, which houses Tata's four units in joint venture with global majors like Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin and RUAG Aviation.
The third facility is being planned on the northern side of Hyderabad and it is most likely to come up near Warangal, which has an airstrip. This park will be focused on aero-replacement segment.
Telangana's Special Chief Secretary, Industries and Commerce, K. Pradeep Chandra told reporters Tuesday that the Indian Air Force's (IAF) move to replace its Avro fleet offers a huge opportunity for Hyderabad to emerge as aerospace and defence hub.
As no defence public sector company will be involved in Avro replacement, Hyderabad will have an edge as Bangalore is currently the biggest hub because of the presence of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
Hyderabad is currently the second biggest hub of aerospace and defence industry but has the huge potential because of various strengths.
With the government hiking Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the defence to 49 percent, the size of aerospace and defence market in the country is estimated to go up from the current $20 billion to $200 billion in five years.
"Telangana is aiming to get 15 to 20 percent share of this market," said Commissioner, Industries, Jayesh Ranjan.
The officials pointed out that Telangana will leverage on its strengths like existing SEZ at Adibatla, GMR's Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility and aerospace SEZ at Hyderabad Airport, large number of defence research and development organizations, strong assembly base with the presence of over 500 SMEs.
The government has allotted space to 32 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for locating their units in Adibatla SEZ.

Reading of Magnificent Obesity at library
Your SaaS startup reaches its two-year anniversary, and you lock a new round of funding. Every measure of customer success is strong. Users report high levels of satisfaction. They log in a lot, they like you on Facebook and they read a lot of your emails. In a survey, 90% said theyd recommend your product to a friend. Investors are impressed. Churn is at a high but acceptable level for a young startup, but over the next six months, it fails to improve. Instead, it slowly creeps up to problematic levels and you cant understand why.
Startups get blindsided like this when they rely on feel good data science: big data analytics that mashup qualitative measurements with quantitative science. Being data-driven is the stated goal of most tech executives, but you cant be data-driven just because you wave your magical data science hands in the air. If you want to really understand what your customers think, and whether they are prime for upselling, conversion or churn, you need to strictly separate qualitative and quantitative data. Its time to discover rather than assume what metrics mean, and its time to stop dicing customers into imaginary groups.
We intuitively know that qualitative metrics are unscientific, but they look good. When you take a number like average log-ins and arbitrarily give it a weight of 20% in your customer success algorithm, youre converting it into a qualitative metric. This kills the data science and lulls you into a fantasy.
Unfortunately, that is how most data science is conducted today. All sorts of measurements logins, time spent in the product, engagement with marketing emails, etc. are given subjective weights.
Companies also rely heavily on self-reported data. Customers are often willing to give their satisfaction levels, rate different experiences and declare whether or not theyd recommend the service to a friend. Theres nothing wrong with this data, but if you mash it and weight together with data based on user actions, you spoil the quantitative data.
Stop tricking yourself.
When it comes to understanding a customers probability of upgrading, continuing to pay for your service or unsubscribing, you cannot equate what people say with what they do. Likewise, you cant impose meaning on quantitative data until you establish correlations between actions.
The whole point of big data is to find patterns and trends independent of opinions. However, drive-by data science occasionally running large-scale data science projects to uncover correlations is common and misleading because the conclusions begin to decay immediately as your customer base, onboarding process, marketing campaigns and other variables change.
An even bigger problem is the practice of pre-assigning meaning to data. For instance, you could (smartly) assume that your most active users are most likely to upgrade. And you could be wrong.
One way is to routinely take random samples of SaaS users and split them into three groups: a random control group, the most active users (those who log in most) and an algorithmically-selected group that we identified as most likely to upgrade by applying machine learning to a large number of behavioral inputs for each customer. Then observe.
