Little Meaning in New Equipment Without Prepared People

Three years ago I proposed that the Agricultural Extension Service buy word·processing equipment that would interface with a new computerized typesetting system at the Printing and Graphics Department

A Study to Determine Desired Life/Work Skills Not Acquired by Adults during Formal School Training

This problem was answered by focusing on the following questions: 1. Which topics or subjects do adults feel that they are lacking to improve either their personal or professional lives? 2. Which topics or subjects were not available to them during their formal school training

Why All This Fuss Over Sex?

The mating of the two sexes, or sexual intercourse,- to achieve reproduction is a natural phenomenon. Because of the overemphasis on the problem of sexual adjustment of marriage, some have advocated pre-marital sexual relations in an attempt to determine if a couple is suited for matrimony. This is a grave error. There is no necessity for pre-marital sexual practice or attempts of practice

Rusty old stars: a source of the missing interstellar iron?

Iron, the Universe's most abundant refractory element, is highly depleted in both circumstellar and interstellar environments, meaning it exists in solid form. The nature of this solid is unknown. In this Letter, we provide evidence that metallic iron grains are present around oxygen-rich AGB stars, where it is observationally manifest as a featureless mid-infrared excess. This identification is made using Spitzer Space Telescope observations of evolved globular cluster stars, where iron dust production appears ubiquitous and in some cases can be modelled as the only observed dust product. In this context, FeO is examined as the likely carrier for the 20-micron feature observed in some of these stars. Metallic iron appears to be an important part of the dust condensation sequence at low metallicity, and subsequently plays an influential role in the interstellar medium. We explore the stellar metallicities and luminosities at which iron formation is observed, and how the presence of iron affects the outflow and its chemistry. The conditions under which iron can provide sufficient opacity to drive a wind remain unclear.Comment: 7 pages. 4 figures, accepted ApJ

The quantum Hall effect in graphene - a theoretical perspective

This short theoretical review deals with some essential ingredients for the understanding of the quantum Hall effect in graphene in comparison with the effect in conventional two-dimensional electron systems with a parabolic band dispersion. The main difference between the two systems stems from the "ultra-relativistic" character of the low-energy carriers in graphene, which are described in terms of a Dirac equation, as compared to the non-relativistic Schr\"odinger equation used for electrons with a parabolic band dispersion. In spite of this fundamental difference, the Hall resistance quantisation is universal in the sense that it is given in terms of the universal constant h/e^2 and an integer number, regardless of whether the charge carriers are characterised by Galilean or Lorentz invariance, for non-relativistic or relativistic carriers, respectively.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures; brief review article for Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences; references added with respect to previous versio

No-Boundary Thinking in Bioinformatics Research

Currently there are definitions from many agencies and research societies defining bioinformatics as deriving knowledge from computational analysis of large volumes of biological and biomedical data. Should this be the bioinformatics research focus? We will discuss this issue in this review article. We would like to promote the idea of supporting human-infrastructure (HI) with no-boundary thinking (NT) in bioinformatics (HINT)

Big Data -- A 21st Century Science Maginot Line? No-Boundary Thinking: Shifting from the Big Data Paradigm

Whether your interests lie in scientific arenas, the corporate world, or in government, you have certainly heard the praises of big data: Big data will give you new insights, allow you to become more efficient, and/or will solve your problems. While big data has had some outstanding successes, many are now beginning to see that it is not the Silver Bullet that it has been touted to be. Here our main concern is the overall impact of big data; the current manifestation of big data is constructing a Maginot Line in science in the 21st century. Big data is not lots of data as a phenomena anymore; the big data paradigm is putting the spirit of the Maginot Line into lots of data. Big data overall is disconnecting researchers and science challenges. We propose No-Boundary Thinking (NBT), applying no-boundary thinking in problem defining to address science challenges
