Weighty Matters. By: Robinson, Ian, Scientific American, 00368733, Dec2006, Vol. 295, Issue 6 In an age when technologies typically grow obsolete in a few years, it is ironic that almost all the world's measurements of mass (and related phenomena such as energy) depend on a 117-year-old object stored in the vaults of a small laboratory outside Paris, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. According to the

Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information. The early foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital
Further education has traditionally been characterised by part-time vocational courses for those who leave school at the age of 16 but need to acquire a skill, be that in the manual, technical or clerical field. In all, about three million students enrol each year in part-time courses at further education (FE) colleges, some released by their employers and a greater number unemployed. In addition there have always
Saint Petersburg Polytechnical Institute was founded in 1899 as the most advanced engineering school in Russia. The main person promoting the creation of this University was the Finance Minister Count Sergei Witte who saw establishing a first-class engineering school loosely modeled by the French École Polytechnique as an important step towards the industrialization of Russia. The idea was advanced by

During mesh generation mesh-regions were defined for evaluation of local fluxes. This definition of mesh region which can be surfaces or volumes allows the analysis of local time variations of fluxes and balances, e.g. in each guide vane or rotor cannel. ResultsThe process of energy dissipation for operating points near runaway involves in- and outflows from the runner. The high energy flow is entering the runner
We have performed five in vivo porcine animal tests with our device. A laparoscopic surgeon (Fowler) used this device to perform a number of surgical procedures, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, running (measuring) the bowel, suturing, and nephrectomy (kidney removal). Since this test animal species does not have an appendix as a human, resecting part of the colon was used to simulate an appendectomy. We
Tie Hu, Peter K. Allen, Nancy J. Hogle and Dennis L. Fowler Abstract—This paper describes work we have done in developing an insertable surgical imaging device with multiple degrees-of-freedom for minimally invasive surgery. The device is fully insertable into the abdomen using standard 12mm trocars. It consists of a modular camera and lens system which has pan and tilt capability provided by 2 small DC servo
The Glucontrol trial randomised patients into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A received intensive insulin therapy and Group B received conventional insulin therapy, with target ranges of 4.4-6.1 mmol/L and 7.8-10 mmol/L, respectively. Insulin was administered as a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion. Hourly blood glucose (BG) measurements were recorded when the glycemic level was not within the target

Gupta The Combustion Laboratory, University of Maryland, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College Park, MD 20742, United States Keywords: Food waste gasification; Char gasification kinetics; Catalytic effect of ash; Compensation effectAbstractCharacteristics of syngas from the pyrolysis and gasification of food waste has been investigated. Characteristic differences in syngas properties and
Interdisciplinary research (IDR) now receives a great deal of attention because of the rich, creative contributions it often generates. But a host of factors — institutional, interpersonal, and intellectual — also make a daunting challenge of conducting research outside one's usual domain. This selection of the texts on interdisciplinary research is our brief guide to the most effective avenues for collaborative
Here some general recommendations you are advised to follow while writing and revising your scientific article: Use normal English language including articles. Stay focused on the research topic of the paper. Use paragraphs to separate each important point (except for the abstract). Present your points in logical order. Use present tense to report well accepted facts - for example, 'the grass is green'. Use past
The structures of the main of articles can differ from each other. Look through some scientific articles in your area of interest. What are the main sections of them?The Method SectionSometimes in scientific papers you will find headings such as Materials and Methods or Methodology, which lists specimens used in the study and what methods or procedures were applied to them. This allows other scientists to replicate
Give the reference as soon as you've mentioned in your article the idea or fact you're using, not just at the end of the paragraph. It's often recommended to name the authors ("X says" and "Y argues against X,") and then indicate your own stand ("A more inclusive perspective, however, . . . "). You need to keep mentioning authors, pages, dates to show how your ideas are related to those
Title and Key WordsThe title is the first thing that the reader sees and this often determines whether they will read further. If you want to capture their attention, the title needs to encapsulate the subject of the article. The best way to do that is to use key words. For example, for the article about pyrolysis and gasification of food waste the key words are as follows: Food waste gasification; Char
