Yu Founder On Next Flagship and Open Source Model for Upcoming Smartphones

Image
Micromax subsidiary Yu Televentures is gearing up to launch its next flagship smartphone this month. Ahead of the launch, company founder Rahul Sharma spoke to Gadgets 360 about the company's strategy for upcoming smartphones and the relationship with Cyanogen. He confirmed that the upcoming Yu flagship will run Android with some customisations from the company, and not Cyanogen , as seen on its predecessor. Sharma revealed that the company has so far sold 2 million devices since Yu established itself as an independent brand, with a new flagship smartphone expected to launch later this month. Talking about the upcoming smartphone, Sharma said that the company will be focusing on offering "pure Android experience" with a deep integration of Around Yu , a service aggregator platform that was introduced last year alongside the Yutopia flagship. He further hinted that the Around Yu will come with some new features. "When we got Cyanogen things were moving fine but ...

[Perspective] GATA get a hold on senescence

Science: Current Issue Cellular senescence is a state of “permanent” arrest of the cell division cycle. It is associated with hyperactivated secretion of proinflammatory factors and with a range of pathophysiological processes such as wound healing, aging, and cancer (1). The processes that control the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) are not well defined. One candidate effector mechanism is macroautophagy (herein referred to as autophagy), a major intracellular degradation system, but whether it promotes or inhibits senescence is disputed (2). On page 1503 of this issue, Kang et al. begin to unravel this paradox and provide new insights into the mechanisms by which the SASP is controlled (3). Authors: Liam D.

In the Center of the Trifid Nebula

Image
Clouds of glowing gas mingle with dust lanes in the Trifid Nebula, a star forming region toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius). In the center, the three prominent dust lanes that give the Trifid its name all come together. Mountains of opaque dust appear on the right, while other dark filaments of dust are visible threaded throughout the nebula. A single massive star visible near the center causes much of the Trifid's glow. The Trifid, also known as M20, is only about 300,000 years old, making it among the youngest emission nebulae known. The nebula lies about 9,000 light years away and the part pictured here spans about 10 light years. The above image is a composite with luminance taken from an image by the 8.2-m ground-based Subaru Telescope, detail provided by the 2.4-m orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, color data provided by Martin Pugh and image assembly and processing provided by Robert Gendler.
