My Sleep Posture, Nightmares and Magnetoreception
http://nonoscience.info/2008/05/10/my-sleep-posture-nightmares-and-magnetoreception/There is a pet in-house theory in this part of the world that one should not sleep by keeping one’s head in the north side. The “scientific reason” given for this (by one of the elders in my house) is that if you sleep with your head resting in north direction, the earth’s magnetic field [...]…

Cat Crossing and Magnetoreception
http://nonoscience.info/2008/05/08/cat-crossing-and-magnetoreception/Cats are worshiped by Egyptians. Cats are blogged on Fridays. Even cat’s downfall is analyzed in feline pesematology. Nevertheless, in this part of terra firma, cats crossing your path is considered a bad omen. …

Does GATE serve our institutional needs?
http://nanopolitan.blogspot.com/2008/05/does-gate-serve-our-...In a post filled with provocative ideas, Arunn argues for the use of GRE (or, presumably, another exam like the GRE General Test) for graduate admissions. Currently, in engineering (and to a smaller extent, in the sciences too) GATE is the exam of choice at all our top institutions, and this

Indian Graduate Admission based on GRE?
http://nonoscience.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/indian-graduate-...Based on some ten years of teaching and as many years as student in four different institutes of varying academic standing and pursuit and the associated observations, I am of the opinion that the GATE, if not totally at least to a large extent, is not serving its purpose. Firstly, its strength is it weakness. It is a subject examination and this itself puts off many undergraduates who are fresh out from the scars of passing about forty to fifty such subject examinations to obtain their UG degree. Not that they don

My Sleep Posture, Nightmares and Magnetoreception
http://nonoscience.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/my-sleep-posture...charge is influenced by a magnetic field of spatially or temporally varying field strength. So I explored for corroboration for this phenomenon. For instance, the recent Physics Today article [see reference 1 below] that I mentioned in an earlier Cat crossing post, states that human tissue is found to be not influenced by magnetic fields. It says, this is one reason intuitive understanding or the medical literature on human senses doesn’t help much in detecting the mechanism for magneto-reception in humans and

If you are one of the few lucky fellows (just like me) who happen to know atleast to read in both the languages, I would certainly recommend you to go through both of them. From technical perspective, both the articles explains the same concept -
