Artificial Intelligence is 50 years old
Artificial 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. The ultimate goal was to discover computational models in order to enable machines to do commonsense reasoning.Read more…DNA Testing
Apart 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.Read more…Camera Telescopes
Astronomy is one interesting field of science. Through the rigors of this discipline, we are able to capture even the vague objects in the galaxy.The telescope is a device that aids the naked eye to take a good view of distant objects.Read more…Colloidal Silver Generators
Colloidal 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.Read more…August 2006 Weather Preview
On a global scale every year we can expect approximately 100 extremely disruptive earthquakes, around 10,000 floods, roughly 100,000 thunderstorms, hundreds of landslides and tornadoes as well as scores of hurricanes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, droughts and tsunamis. Fortunately, not all of these events will occur in areas that will harm the human population, but many will.What can man do to even the score?Read more…Boost your Security with Biometry
Fingerprinting 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.Read more…The Day the Mercury Stayed Below Zero in New York City
While New York City temperatures have dropped lower than the -12°F reading at midnight January 10th-11th, 1859, falling to -16°F in 1789 and -15°F in 1835 and 1934, January 10th, 1859 is known as New York City’s coldest day ever. On that day, the city’s temperature never rose above zero. Per Christopher C.Read more…Beating the High Price of Gasoline with Biodiesel
With the price of traditional fuel rising faster everyday, people everywhere are looking for alternatives. Electric cars were once touted as the way to save the environment and beat the cost of gasoline, but they are so expensive that very few people can afford to save money by purchasing one.Alternative fuels have long been discussed as a way to cut fuel prices and help the environment, but with the specialized engines they require, and their inability to pass the regulation tests required by the EPA, they have been a disappointment.Read more…Biotechnology Timeline: Important Events And Discoveries In Biotechnology
1977:The Age of biotechnology arrives with “somatostatin” - a human growth hormone-releasing inhibitory factor, the first human protein manufactured in bacteria by Genentech, Inc. A synthetic, recombinant gene was used to clone a protein for the first time.1978:Genentech, Inc.Read more…Biodiesel and You
The idea of using an all natural biodegradable fuel source may seem a bit too science fiction or Hollywood for the average person. Most alternative fuel sources have left much to be desired, but there is an alternative to the usual vegetable based alternative fuel and fossil fuels. Biodiesel is the future of alternative fuels.Read more…Making Biodiesel For Fun and Savings
All of us have a little chemist in us that likes to come out and play. Experimenting with different concoctions is part of what makes cooking so much fun, but can you imagine a chemistry experiment that could end up saving you thousands of dollars on your gasoline bills? As farfetched as it sounds, there is a new gasoline alternative that not only saves money, but it can actually be made in your own kitchen.Read more…Making Biodiesel at Home
It is easy to make your own fuel at home. You need a few simple supplies, all of which are readily available at your hardware stores. Gather up 1 liter of vegetable oil, antifreeze, and lye.Read more…Make Your Own Biodiesel Fuel
Wouldn't you love to go into your garage and whip up a batch of fuel for your car? Think of the money you would save if you could make fuel for your car from a product found in your garden? With the cost of gasoline soaring and no relief in sight, you would think that most people would welcome a fuel alternative that cost them about seventy cents a gallon.Read more…The Black Space Experience
The roots of the black space experience date back some 8,500 years when the first lunar calendar was crafted from a bone. Like ancient peoples elsewhere in the world, Africans (sub-Saharan black peoples) “shared the same inspiration and awe of the stars” and “struggled to make sense of it [through] creativity and intelligence” [1] patiently taking “countless generations to watch, justify and map the heavens”[2] and define their relationship with them. According to Dr.Read more…What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel is the fuel of the future, available today. This clean burning fuel alternative is produced from domestic resources, such as soybeans, that are entirely renewable. While biodiesel contains no petroleum, it can be mixed with petroleum to create a powerful biodiesel blend.Read more…Routine Duties of a Qualified Person

- Integrating Your 4 Freedoms - Ultimate Reality: Consciousness - By: Al Link
If the difference between particles and waves is so slippery, and if time and space are so easily transcended, what is the fundamental nature of reality? What is real? One answer is consciousness. Consciousness is original and fundamental, everything considered to be "reality" comes out of that consciousness. - Integrating Your 4 Freedoms (Part 1 of 9) - Quantum Reality - By: Al Link
The Western world loves to compartmentalize, creating boxes of separation so that the complexities of life are easier to comprehend and simpler to cope with. We separate work from family life, spiritual practice from sexuality, social policy from corporate profit, and art from infrastructure. We manifest these divisions not only in society at large but also within ourselves, separating our minds from our hearts and our bodies from our souls. - Source of Cosmic Rays Hold Down - By: Analyn Sarte
A new study shows that a supernovae will serve as gigantic particle accelerators - ranging up to almost the speed of light. This new discovery helps explain where the extremely energetic cosmic rays we find near earth come from. - Selective Catalytic Reduction How NOx Reduction Make the World Go Green - By: Ant Onaf
Selective catalytic reduction systems have leveled the playing for life and NOx to coexist in the same environment. The toxic fumes of NOx are very damaging to the world as we know it. With the aid of selective catalytic reduction technology the levels of nitrogen oxide emissions can be controlled and managed. This article takes you through the process. - The Maya Decline - By: Y. avicenna
The causes of the decline of Maya classic civilization is remain a mystery. Various theories about the Maya decline have been suggested. Epidemic diseases, such as yellow fever and malaria are probably post-Colombian imports to America. There is also no convincing evidence that the decline of Maya civilization was caused by natural disaster such as earthquakes or devastating droughts. - Aztec and the City of Tenochtitlan - A Brief History - By: Y. avicenna
With the Aztecs, archaeology merges fully with history. The picture and rebus writing of the Aztec manuscripts and the accounts of Bernal Diaz del Castillo and Bernardino Sahagun are sources as important as the monuments of Tenochtitlan which lie beneath the streets of modern Mexico City. - Origin of the 11D World Membrane as a Pascal Conic Section of Six Strings in a 5D Projective Space - By: Sean Sheeter
History of Hilbert's faux pas trying to make Pappus theorem into an axiom and similar issues stemming from the Godel theorem. We go on to discuss the generalization of Pappus in the Pascal theorem and its central importance to the projective axioms of incidence: further demonstrating the significance of its 6-element conic as a dual 11D sectioning of six string-like lines in a 5D projective space. Which then shows the origin for the 11D Membrane integrating the five 10D superstring theories. - Hydrogen As a Fuel Source - By: Levi Quinn
From water to air, there are a number of ways to energize your car. Alternatives to petroleum are a hot topic today. The growing concern for the environment is steadily increasing. It's an important issue that many people want to feel personally connected to. Hydrogen as a fuel source is not an entirely new idea. But science is taking a closer look at the impact that using hydrogen could have on both the environment and the economy. The best solutions are the ones that have more benefits than drawbacks. - MRI and Ultrasound: Two Vital Branches of Radiology - By: R Govindan
Radiology was initially the branch of medical imaging that made use of x-rays on large flat sheets of photographic films for diagnosis. Modern day radiology is no longer confined to the practice of x-rays and now encompasses other methods of diagnostic imaging such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound. - Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects - By: Edi Bilimoria
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural
