Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, and is caused by the premature death of neurons. This deterioration of brain tissue is accompanied by memory loss, difficulty thinking, erratic behavior and disorientation. Currently, there are various hypotheses about the mechanisms behind the onset of Alzheimer’swhich can act alone or together.

One of the most accepted theories, although not without great controversy, is the amyloid beta theorywhich states that the accumulation of this protein in the form of plaques damages neurons and can cause their death, triggering the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Although the cause is not clear, plaques or accumulations of beta amyloid are observed in sick people, as well as fibers of another protein called hyperphosphorylated Tau, so the relationship is possible.

dive into the heart of smart homes and the trends to watch
In the era of Smart Home, home automation presents itself as one of the best solutions for transforming each home into a smart home. Total control of homes, daily comfort and energy savings, home automation has its advantages.
However, certain questions arise regarding home automation itself. Why are owners so enthusiastic about this technology? Why is it very important for controlling a smart home? What would be the future of home automation withintegration of AI into Smart homes ? The answers to all your questions!
What is a home automation system?
Within a smart home there are several electronic systems. Each of them controls a specific element of the building. This could include roller shutters, heating system, air conditioning, charging of battery operated devices, etc. A very distinctive term can designate the technology that connects and interconnects all of these systems : home automation.
Seen from another angle, home automation is the engineering that manages the technologies existing in a smart home. This is therefore a real innovation which combines automation, IT, electronics, telecommunications and building. Which leads us to provide an explanation of the very essence of a home automation system.
Mysterious Oceans Beneath Saturns Satellite Mimas: Implications for Life in the Solar System
Analysis of observation data from the Cassini probe
Exists 20 to 30 km underground in “Mimas”
Formed 25 to 2 million years ago… evolving
Confirmation of crater lake sediments as an example
Chance of finding traces of life on Mars ↑
▲ Appearance of the Mimas satellite of Saturn, the sixth planet of the solar system. The satellite’s name comes from Mimas, son of Gaia, the earth goddess in Greek mythology, and was discovered by the German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1789. The most notable feature on Mimas’ surface is the Herschel crater, which has a diameter of 130 km. Provided by the Paris Observatory, France Humanity has long wanted a universe with the sun, moon and stars. With the development of science and technology, advanced space countries have moved beyond the Earth and the Moon, Mars, asteroids and deep space have become objects of challenge and exploration rather than objects of admiration. This is to secure rare elements that cannot be obtained on Earth or a place where people can live in the distant future.
Besides practical reasons, the reason scientists don’t stop exploring space is to answer the fundamental question: “Are we really the only ones in the vast universe?” The reason we look for traces of water in space is because we believe it is the minimum condition for the existence of life.
Kill the Justice League is incurably schizophrenic
#Kill #Justice #League #incurably #schizophrenic
Tested on: PS5
Also available on: Xbox Series/PC
We’ve long given Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League the benefit of the doubt. Because you can’t just dismiss a game because of what it isn’t. This Suicide Squad is indeed not Batman, but a spin-off and completely new experiment from developer Rocksteady. However, after extensive review we have to conclude that that experiment was not successful.
ABCDEFU, Superman!
Suicide Squad is a difficult game to love unconditionally. Because for every height, you will be served a low. And unfortunately, the lows take over after a while. Suicide Squad feels like a schizophrenic superhero trip whose strengths are buried beneath a lot of negatives. And a long-term cure? We don’t see that happening right away.
But hey, this bunch of psychopaths also has their good sides. The story, for example, is well written, with that typical morbid Suicide Squad humor that we also saw in the James Gunn film of the same name. The acting is believable and the chemistry between the members of Task Force X is almost tangible. And the get-togethers with tough aunt Amanda Waller?
Massachusetts Moves to Ban Apple Vision Pro Headsets While Driving
Massachusetts is taking a proactive approach to road safety by moving to ban the use of Apple Vision Pro headsets while driving. The state representative, William Straus, was alarmed by videos circulating on the internet showing Tesla drivers in Autopilot mode wearing the new virtual reality headsets and typing on an invisible keyboard. Straus wants to make this behavior illegal and has proposed language to the Legislature’s transportation committee to ban the use of these headsets or similar technologies while behind the wheel.
Straus, the committee’s House chair, wasted no time in crafting the language with his staff, and it was added to an existing proposal that already aimed to prohibit drivers from recording or broadcasting themselves while driving. The fact that the proposal advanced out of committee within 48 hours is considered lightning-fast in Beacon Hill standards. However, it still needs to pass the full House and Senate before becoming law.
Apple’s Vision Pro headset has garnered praise for its awe-inspiring features and technological marvel. However, it comes with a hefty price tag starting at $3,500, not including additional add-ons that could increase the cost by another $1,000 or more. The affordability of this device for the average consumer remains uncertain.
Ascend to Victory: The Ingenious Stairway to Heaven Strategy in Palworld
The Innovative Strategy of Palworld Players
Palworld enthusiasts have devised a clever method to conquer the game’s most challenging bosses by constructing a virtual ‘stairway to heaven’ within the game.
According to a report by GamesRadar, a video shared on Twitter / X showcases how a player built a massive stairway and guided a level 50 Jetragon to the top. Subsequently, by leaping off and gliding to the base, the player obliterated the lower section of the stairway. With the foundation gone, the structure collapsed along with the Jetragon, seemingly bewildered enough to forget its ability to fly, plummeting to its demise. The force of gravity at play!
Attempting the trending boss defeat technique from Korea, the ‘Stairway to Heaven’, we managed to swiftly defeat the Jetragon. The creativity behind this strategy is truly remarkable… #パルワールド #Palworld #ジェッドラン #Jetragon pic.twitter.com/t3OoR4VUT7

The Future of this Strategy
This tactic appears so straightforward that its longevity may be in question. The developer of Palworld, Pocketpair, has not yet signaled any intention to address this, but given the significant attention (the aforementioned tweet has garnered nearly two million views), it wouldn’t be surprising if they acknowledge it and incorporate a solution in an upcoming update.
A Venezuelan biologist is part of the new NASA mission that will study marine ecosystems
Venezuelan Scientist to be Part of NASA’s New PACE Mission
NASA is set to launch its new mission, Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE), in February. The mission’s objective is to study plankton, aerosols, clouds, and marine ecosystems of planet Earth from space. Among the members of the PACE team is Venezuelan biologist Laura Lorenzoni, who graduated from the Simón Bolívar University (USB) in Caracas, Venezuela.
Lorenzoni, who is a scientist in the Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry (OBB) Program in the NASA Science Mission Directorate, holds a degree in Biology from USB. She later obtained a master’s degree and doctorate in Marine Sciences from the University of South Florida in the United States.
In an interview with Nasa en Español, Lorenzoni expressed her passion for space and her desire to be a scientist. “What attracts me to space is the unknown that you can know. We certainly know more about our Moon, and we are on the way to knowing more about Mars, than we know about our ocean,” she said.
Lorenzoni’s interest in remote sensing led her to study the Cariaco Fosa, a main anoxic basin on Earth located in the state of Sucre,

Qualcomm CEO shared: The launch time of this chipset is related to the next version of Windows with many integrated artificial intelligence features. We and Microsoft agreed to set a product launch date in mid-2024.
It is known that Microsoft is OpenAI’s largest investor, so it will have priority to take advantage of the company’s AI features (including ChatGPT software or AI tool that converts text into images…)
Before the information given by CEO Qualcomm, there were also some rumors about the launch date of Windows 12.
Specifically, in 2023, Intel’s CEO also revealed that Windows 12 will be released in 2024.
In December 2023, The Commercial Times (Taiwan) newspaper said that the Windows 12 operating system will be released by Microsoft in June 2024 and will be integrated with AI features to support users effectively. .
If the information is correct, Windows 12 will be released less than 3 years after Windows 11 was released (October 5, 2011).
