![]() 2007-07-03 Bodyhack - Wired BlogsJust for clarification, science is the systematic endeavor of gathering knowledge about the natural world and universe, and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories. This knowledge gathering is generated by scientific method; that is, data (scientific facts) are collected by experimentation and/or observation, a hypothesis (working assumption) consistent with the data is formulated, predictions are made, further tests are conducted to modify the hypothesis until there are no discrepancies between hypothesis and experiments plus observations. At that point, the hypothesis becomes a theory (a properly researched conceptual framework that explains existing observations and predicts new ones). Scientific research requires a balanced degree of scepticism. Scientists must obey two inviolate rules to blog.wired.com Kristen Philipkoski, Regina Lynn, Randy Dotinga, and Scott Carney give the Wired take on medicine, biotech, and sexuality in the Bodyhack blog, including aging, cancer, cloning, clinical trials, death, drugs, fertility, genetics, HIV/AIDS, hospitals, nutrition, obesity, suicide, and surgery. - Bodyhack
2007-07-27 Compound Semiconductors Online - The Original Compound Semiconductor Industry NewspaperIBM reportedly used the mold to prototype a device with line width variations of just 2. 6nm (notably only half the variation of argon fluoride laser photolithography). Nanoimprinting, uses molds to create circuit patterns. Hoya makes such molds. The mold is pressed onto a photocuring resin with a special tool. The impressions that it leaves in the semiconducting resin are hardened using ultraviolet light. These impressions form circuit patterns. According to the article, Hoya plans to supply IBM with a mold capable of defining 20nm lines within the year. Hoya will also work to develop a mold for 10nm lines.

2007-07-30 Democrat and Chronicle: EssaysThe silliness doesnt end there. The next year, the next class of fourth-graders will be tested. If this totally different group doesnt do better than the previous years fourth-graders, the school will most likely be cited as not making "Adequate Yearly Progress" and labeled a failure. Even if the first group of fourth-graders jumps two grade levels on fifth-grade ELA tests, the schools fate hangs on the testing of a different group of fourth-graders (perhaps more needy than the previous class). Forget the growth a child makes throughout his or her school years; NCLBs grade-level snapshot defeats teachers and students efforts to improve. www.democratandchronicle.com The online edition of the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper in Rochester, N.

Resulting data give an accurate autoclave cure profile for a composite part made from the same prepreg system; thermocouples are placed in the thickest section of the part in the autoclave. An option is to cure the test specimen simultaneously with the part in the autoclave. When the software shows the test specimen is fully cured, the part in the autoclave also will be fully cured.
