Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference Kicks Off in AustraliaThe article describes the ongoing conference on agricultural biotechnology in Australia The Economic Production of Precursor-Type Nanosize Precious ElementsThe widespread presence of nanosize precious elements, firmly bonded to amorphous colloidal silica, has been observed throughout the earth's crust and upper mantle. Methods have been developed to convert these less than bulk metal size precious elements to bulk size particles that may be recovered and refined as "conventional" metal. An Introduction to BiodieselFirst things first: the information contained below on making biodiesel is not meant to provide you with a complete and thorough enough education on the subject for you to go out and make your own biodiesel without any further study. It is imperative that you recognize from the outset that making biodiesel involves chemicals and chemical reactions which can be quite dangerous if dealt with improperly. Science Meets SpiritScience and spirit are not separate disciplines; understanding the true nature of reality reveals where science meets spirit!Sooner or later everyone starts to ask questions about the nature of reality. We are curious about who we are; we ponder on the meaning of life; we look at the world and wonder what is our place in it. Our search will usually take us to information, including the major religions, that suggests a 'wholeness' to reality; that everything is 'one'; that we are more than just flesh and blood. Types of Solar EnergyLearn more about the different types of solar energy, from solar cells to solar updraft towers. The History of Solar Energy - It Is Longer Than You May ThinkAs solar energy becomes more and more important because of our need for alternative energy resources, it is interesting to learn that solar energy science has been around for well over a century. Learn more about solar energy history. Archimedes Archives Available At LastArchimedes the famous Greek mathematician is known for many thanks including introducing the world to calculus. He also explained all the physical attributes of why an iceberg floats the way it does. Solar Energy - How Can We Use It?Do you want free electricity? How we can use solar energy to provide heat, light and power. From The Atom to The Black HoleAn alternative theory of the black hole Newton's Laws Apply Directly To The Function Of A Bullwhip, Or Any Other Whip For That MatterHow Newton's Laws apply to the working of a whip. These often overlooked laws are very important when one is designing a whip. You'll see what I mean if you read the article. New Century Physics - A Return To The Prophets?The universe does not contain everything that exists. It was called into being for a reason. It has a task and a purpose. It is a time/space tool to maintain the integrity of the primordial substance in equilibrium - the nonmaterial state of being, alias realm of spirit. We Cannot Stop Hurricanes; Say ScientistsMany scientists believe we cannot stop Hurricanes, they are wrong. Currently, we cannot stop a Hurricane, but that is only because we have convinced ourselves that it is impossible. This notion is Totally Unacceptable email. Personally, I am well aware of what the experts think and the non-military agencies purport with regards to stopping Hurricanes. Nevertheless, passing up relevant concepts and ideas is a silly way to run ones mind or ones agency. Double Eye Hurricane? Venus Vortex Vicious Voracious ViolenceIs it possible to have a double by eye-walled hurricane? Well it appears that this is happening on Venus with vicious and voracious vortexes with violent flows. It is possible this critic concur on earth as well and in such a super storm might be somewhat unstoppable, as it would create its own wind and energy. Africa Must Give Serious Thought to BiotechThe article urges Africa to hasten embracing modern biotechnology Who Knew the Climate Would Be Affected by Global Warming and Heat Waves Would Grow HotterTempatures are rising. Heat waves are getting hotter. Global warming is affecting our climate. California is currently experiencing a heat wave. Flying Fish Have Good EyesightFlying fish can see very well outside of water and many probably have not thought about this but it does make sense because there is 750 times less dense than water. If fish can see underwater through the density and murkiness then they ought to be a will see pretty good outside of water except maybe the sun glare in their eyes. Bio PyramidIn the ongoing energy debate, biomass energy is getting a lot of play among politicians. To understand the concept, it first helps to understand the bio pyramid. Hyperspectral Imaging, Finding the Best Locations to Drill for Oil: No Ritalin Needed!Utilizing cutting edge technology to locate "Hotspots" in the oil patch. A tool to lower risk in exploration! Is There a Waterproof Solar Charger?Many people using solar chargers want to know if there is a waterproof solar charger available. The answer is What You Need To Know About DNAIn the last half of the 20th century, much research has been done on DNA, and this period has also been characterized by major breakthroughs in understanding DNA. For example, many insights have been discovered via the Human Genome Project, which has been successful at mapping out the human gene. However, despite the vast amount of studies that have been published as a result of the tremendous amount of research done on DNA, there are still a lot of people who are not so familiar with the concept of the DNA. This is because most of the studies that have been created are too technical for the average Joe to appreciate. DNA FingerprintingIn criminal cases, it is the strength of the evidence against the accused that determines the outcome of the case. This is why prosecutors try their best to come up with the strongest evidence to prove the guilt of the defendant, and this is also why defense lawyers try their best to discredit the evidence of the prosecution. To help them do this, both the defense and the prosecution solicits the help of experts in analyzing evidence and in proving the veracity of the evidences in the case. In recent times, the expert that lawyers have greatly depended on with regard to the analysis of evidence is the Forensic Expert who is capable of doing DNA profiling or fingerprinting. DNA StructuresIn all that we see in nature, the principle that we usually see is that form follows function. This is because in almost all creatures and plants, the unique features that they have serve a purpose. One example of this includes how some creatures are able to camouflage themselves within their background because their skin color allows them to do so. Other examples include birds with specially shaped beaks to help them catch prey, and the woodpecker is a good example of this. However, this principle does not only apply to the physical attributes of animals and plants as this principle is also followed up to the molecular level. This is seen on how the structure of the most basic genetic molecule, which is DNA also follows this principle. Colloidal Silver GeneratorsColloidal Silver Generators are electronic devices used for manufacturing colloidal silver suspensions. The process involves immersion of high-quality silver electrodes into distilled water and electrolytic generation of sub-microscopic silver particles. Once a generator is activated, the fine colloidal product can be visually perceived. Camera TelescopesAstronomy is one interesting field of science. Through the rigors of this discipline, we are able to capture even the vague objects in the galaxy. DNA TestingApart from DNA fingerprinting, which is a type of DNA test that is done to help prove the guilt or innocence of a person, another commonly used DNA test is the DNA paternity test. This test is done to establish whether a child is indeed the son or the daughter of a person through a comparison of their DNA. However, given that this test is now being routinely done, you can expect that there would be a large number of companies that would offer this service. A simple search on the Internet can lead you to about two million web sites. Given this, you need to be armed with information on the test itself so that you will know what to look for in the companies you would consider to perform the test. Artificial Intelligence is 50 years oldArtificial Intelligence as a research field was born in the summer of 1956 during a seminal workshop at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. It was just a year before that when Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, Claude Shannon and John McCarthy proposed that they should hold a workshop to put together a roadmap about how to make machines think and learn similarly to humans. August 2006 Weather PreviewEach year scores of weather related catastrophies plague humankind. What can be done to even the score and give us reliable long-range weather forecasts? The long-overlooked forecast method employed by Johannes Kepler may be the answer. Based on his method, see what's coming up this August. The Day the Mercury Stayed Below Zero in New York CityWhile the temperature rarely drops below zero degrees Fahrenheit in New York City, this was not the case in the 19th century. During this period, below zero temperatures would at least once every few years if not more. However, Monday morning, January 10, 1859 was a meteorologically historic day for New York City. That day the temperature failed to rise above zero for the 24 hours. South Africa Should License Research Lab on Genetically Modified SorghumThe article urges the South African government to license a new lab for research on genetically modified sorghum. Boost your Security with BiometryFingerprinting has long been a reliable method of identifying people. This biological trait is unique to each individual. To obtain a fingerprint a dye had to be placed on the thumb and an impression had to be made. To determine the pattern fingerprinting experts were needed. These experts took a long time in comparing fingerprints and identifying matching ones. With the advent of computers comparison became easier and faster.
