We are all familiar to Pterodactyl, the flying dinosaur. But, actually there existed so many flying dinosaurs. The common name of all this “flying dinosaurs” is Pterosaurs. There are about 130 genus of Pterosaurs existed in the jurassic period. Here I listed some of them —

1. Pterodactyl

The Pterodactyls had a couple of very wide wings up to 40 feet long. But, these wings are not similar to modern bird’s wings. There were no feathers , their wings were made of a leathery substance. They lived near the sea in the cave & trees. They ate sea fish, large insects & other small dinosaurs. We found their fossils in Europe, North America, Australia, and Africa.

Newslink: Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead

Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead image credit Zimbabwe has begun printing bond notes, allegedly pegged to the US dollar, as a means to curb inflation, as other countries turn to Bitcoin. In a resurrection of the African country’s currency not seen in seven years, the central bank is attempting to restart a Zimbabwean national currency, while simultaneously preserving its value from inflation. The new bond notes are pegged to the U.S. dollar, allegedly backed by a $200 million bond facility with Afreximbank, as a safeguard against rapidly losing its value to hyperinflation, as was the case with the nation’s last currency.

The name this amazing creature is Galloping crocodile. It existed 100 million years ago. And also they preyed on dinosaurs!  The most attractive features of Galloping crocodiles are their bone structure. After made research on their bones structure scientists said that they were efficient swimmers but that when they clambered ashore they were also capable of galloping across the plains. But, modern crocodiles crawl on their bellies because their legs sprawl out to the side.  The fossils of this primitive crocodiles are now discovered in North Africa by a group of fossil hunters.

Doctors use bitcoin tech to improve transparency in trial research

Two clinicians have devised a new system to prevent clinical trial documents being secretly altered to make new drugs look more effective than they are by using a similar system as the digital currency of bitcoin.Reporting in  F1000Research , the doctors said that “undeclared changes to protocols is a major issue in clinical research.”This is because if initial analyses show a medication to be ineffective, researchers can continue to analyse new health outcomes until a positive result is found. But if only the positive findings are reported, the medication might be mistakenly approved.Despite an international mandate requiring all trials to be registered before the experiments begin, the problem still persists, as universal enforcement is difficult. Lobby groups, such as the U.K.-based AllTrials, are now trying to open up the availability of data, but major gaps still remain.So the doctors turned to bitcoin--a type of digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to ...
