All for One, One for All: FireantsFireants are descended from wasps, which accounts for their aggressive behavior. Each ant colony is a unit, as a whole and most of their workers are females. Overview of Tidal EnergyAs the world looks for alternative fuel sources, tidal energy is starting to attract attention again. Following is an overview of tidal energy. Renewable Energy OverviewAs political and economic aspects of fossil fuels grow more harrowing, renewable energy is gaining popularity. Here’s an overview of renewable energy. Methane and Potential Impacts on Global WarmingMethane is a gas found on most planets with atmospheres. In limited amounts, it isn't a particularly problematic gas. In larger amounts, however, it can become a regulator of atmosphere temperatures. How Do Reverse Osmosis Water Filters Work?Reverse osmosis is the future of water filtration but how does it work? How and why is it so effective in comparison to regular water filters? We explore the basics of reverse osmosis. Handwriting Tells a Story About YouEver wonder what someones handwriting or signature might reveal about them? Just like a scale reports weight, a persons handwriting tells a story about the health and traits of the writer. Web Cam Astrophotography BasicsLearn the basics of doing astrophotography with a web cam. Find out what web cams, accessories and software you will need to get started. Creationists Right On Entropy, EvolutionEvolutionists have wrongly criticized Creationists for being ignorant on the subjects of entropy and evolution. Types Of Telescopes For AstronomyAn overview of telescope type used in amatuer astronomy. We explore the advantages of different types of scopes such as refractors, newtonian reflectors and CAT's. Religious Liars in Science Try to Save Face by Interjecting a Possibility of OpinionIt is amazing the balls of these religious screw up in science these days. Oh they call themselves researchers but they are so full of complete crap. Indeed these religious biased scientists look at results and often modify the findings to fit their religious belief systems. Academic BS and Purveyors of Potential Future Theories?So often we find academic fakers, they are just poor little humans with out a clue to reality. Someone or some institution gave them some scientific degree for years of study and payments to attend. Then as these morons reach their certificate they plan a project Religious Groups Now Calling Scientists Fanatics? WTFWe all know how bizarre religious fanatics can get don’t we. Boy we have sure seen enough of this in our day. Now they are invading the scientific community and purporting religious answers to all scientific research, even prior to the experimentation. The Ambiguous Group Debate Used to Debunk ScienceThere are some real scum out there in the academic field who will try to debunk bona fide scientific work and research by calling them Ambiguous Groups, as if to label their years of research as anomalies or flukes? Man and Chimpanzees are Nearly the Same with 99% Similar DNAMany believe that mankind is divine and made in the image of their God and that Chimpanzees are animals, yet with 99% similar DNA it is a really tough debate to uphold. Yet, still religious followers around the Globe will hear none of the DNA evidence and stick to their religious text. Are Religious Nut Cases Really Entitled to a Scientific Opinion? WTFOften some one with religious beliefs which are very strong will enter the scientific research field and upon every experiment will insist that whatever the results they cannot conflict with the belief of their god? Recently one such nut case linear thinking human came to an online think tank Man Was Created By God And Is A Spiritual Being Above Any Animal? WTFMany believe in their religious doctrines that man is not an animal and that he was not only created in the image of god but is a spiritual being. This means that they believe mankind is not an animal and does not belong in the animal category. Should We Allow Religious Doctrine to Cloud Science?Should we allow religion and religious doctrine to cloud science? Didn’t we already do that and it took years to prove the Earth was round? Recently in an online think tank Review on Skin Lesion Imaging, Analysis and Automatic ClassificationDoctor’s diagnosis is reliable, but this procedure takes lots of time, efforts. These routines can be automated. It could save lots of doctor’s time and could help to diagnose more accurate. Besides using computerised means there are good opportunity to store information with diagnostic information in order to use it for further investigations or creation of new methods of diagnosis. Variation of Mechanical Properties of a Cryogenically Treated Cutting Tool (High Speed Steel)Abstract: As we know during cutting action the cutting tool is subjected to wear (Flank and Cater wear) and enormous heat is generated at the tool chip interface, ultimately decreasing the tool life and leading to its failure. Commonly used cutting tool is High Speed Steel tool. This paper shows a significant improvement in the Mechanical properties of the HSS tool after Cryogenic treatment at –80C in comparison with non-Cryogenically treated HSS tool Abandoned Academic Research Often LostSo much research is often started but is forgotten due to the experimentation being incomplete. This is problematic because even partial experimentation can assist another working on the same or similar project in the future. World Wildlife Fund: Where Have All those Animals Gone; Long Time Coming?The World Wildlife Fund continues to support research and other activities that will prevent the extinctions of plant and animal species. They focus on the larger species because that automatically protects other "umbrella" species. Give some dough to WWF. You will know that you are protecting yourself. The Odd Seven Continents TheoryViewed from space, the Earth appears to have four or five major landmass areas depending on your viewpoint. Despite this, we hold on to the illusion there are more continents. Chinese Academy of Sciences Keeping Up with DARPAThe Chinese have designed an ARV unmanned underwater vehicle, which operates like an ROV and it seems to have some dynamic and revolutionary features. This is quite a leap forward for the Chinese and brings them up with the current UUV technologies of Universities like Berkeley, MIT, Stanford and others. Intelligent Design On Another Planet?How and why science supports intelligent design behind life and the universe. Monsters of Traditional Lore: Dinosaurs by Other Names?Virtually every culture on earth has an oral tradition of human encounters with large, strange beasts that are unknown to us today. The commonly accepted theory is that the dinosaurs disappeared long before humans appeared. So, what were these creatures our forebears spoke of, and what happened to them? How to Stop the Sixth ExtinctionExtinction periods occurred 65, 210, 245, 370, and 480 million years ago. They occur every 35 to 145 million years. Let’s see; isn’t that another extinction period coming up. Dr. Niles Eldredgem thinks so and he tells us why. NASA Astrobiology Cuts Are UnfortunateIt is truly unfortunate that NASA is cutting its astrobiology research divisions down to a minimum as if we are truly going to explore the Universe with human manned space exploration vehicles and research teams we will need to know as much as possible about what we are getting into. Mars as a Relay Base Station for Exploring the Solar SystemIs the concept of building colonies on the Moon and Mars a good step for exploring the rest of the Solar System? Indeed it does make a lot of sense to have fuel stops and outpost resting points for such exploratory endeavors. The Snuffed Out Candles - A Science Inquiry Demonstration of DensityWith an empty aquarium, a few candles, and some simple chemicals, an intriguing science demonstration can be created that is sure to get kids thinking. Genetic Memory - True or False?A look at the theory of genetic memory. Are we really capable of inheriting memory genes from our forefathers.
