Local Weather Radars
The National Weather Service has a series of local weather radars that help predict the weather. Radar is a device that sends a signal out to a “target.” In the case of weather radar, the target is a patch of precipitation.Read more…National Weather Service Radars
The National Weather Service is responsible for keeping track of the weather patterns, trends and current conditions in the United States. To do so, there is a large network of National Weather Service radars that help gather this information. From the radar images, data is interpreted and updated constantly to keep all information current.Read more…NOAA Weather Radars
The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) National Weather Service is responsible for monitoring the weather throughout the country. They track weather and climate trends as well as current conditions. There are a series of NOAA weather radars that help them do their job.Read more…Solar System
The solar system consists of the sun, the nearest star to us, and the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as numerous comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and the interplanetary medium. The nine planets, along with their satellites, revolve around the sun in definite orbits. The planets and the satellites are said to be the members of the solar family or the solar system.Read more…Custom Horshair Jewelry
The special bond that man shares with the horse is a glorious affirmation of the beauty of creation. In the words of Reiner Klimke, “My horses are my friends, not my slaves.” Truly, the bond between man and horse is a friendship of a lifetime.Read more…Static Neutralizers
Normally atoms have equal numbers of Protons with positive charge and Electrons with negative charge. This parity is upset when an electron sometimes moves to another atom because of friction, pressure or induction, and leaves the parent atom with a positive charge, or “ionized”. The energy that emerges thus remains stagnant until it is earthed or otherwise neutralized or an electrostatic discharge (ESD) takes place.Read more…Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is based on the process of osmosis. Osmosis involves the selective movement of water from one side of a membrane to the other. Reverse osmosis is also known as hyper filtration.Read more…Sibling DNA Testing
Sibling DNA testing is designed to determine sibling genetic relationships. Such tests establish the statistical probability of whether the siblings share the same two parents. A DNA sibling test can be performed to analyze the relationship of biological siblings by collecting samples from both siblings; however, including one common parent increases the accuracy of this type of analysis, and is highly recommended.Read more…Solar System Models
Solar system models tell the story of the system, whose bodies have orbited continuously around the sun since their coming into being.Various models explain how the system has evolved and how it might end billions of years from now. The birth of the sun and the steps that built up the celestial bodies comprising the system have all been serialized in model form by various educational and scientific institutions.Read more…General Effects of Scientific Technique
Science, ever since the time of Arabs, has had two functions: to enable us to know things, and to enable us to do things. The Greeks, with the exception of Archimedes, were only interested in the first of these. They had much curiosity about the world, but, since civilized people lived comfortably on slave labour, they had no interest in technique.Read more…Democracy and Scientific Technique
The word ‘democracy’ has become ambiguous. East of the Elbe it means ‘military dictatorship of a minority enforced by arbitrary police power’. West of the Elbe its meaning is less definite, but broadly speaking it means ‘even distribution of ultimate political power among all adults except lunatics, criminals, and peers’.Read more…Top Bar Hive - An Alternative Beekeeping Method
The topbar beehive is not a new concept. Historical reference to the top-bar hive date back to the 1600's. Most of today's top bar bee hives are derived from work in the 1960's.Read more…Do Not Be Depressed; Volcano Experts Say the Earth is Under Normal Conditions
With all the natural disasters in the world such as the huge Sumatra Earthquake, which triggered a massive Tsunami and wiped out 200,000 people you can understand why some religious people are saying these are the end of times. Is this really the apocalypse?Who knows for sure?Read more…Science and Tradition
Man has existed for about a million years. He has possessed writing for about 6,000 years, agriculture somewhat longer, but perhaps not much longer. Science, as a dominant factor in determining the beliefs of educated men, has existed for about 300 years; as a source of economic technique, for about 150 years.Read more…A Possible Extraterrestrial Resource Of Transition Metals For On-Location Mining And Processing
Clusters and/or nanosized particles of various transition elements, strongly bonded to amorphous colloidal silica, exist in relative abundance throughout the earth’s outer crust, and very likely throughout the entire planet. As these transition element clusters/particles are dimensionally below the atomic bulk metal size, they do not exhibit many of the standard chemical and physical properties of a subject transition element; here referred to as precursor-type. Chemical and physical properties such as the ionization potential, melting point, specific heat, etc.Read more…Solar System Pictures
In his quest for more information, Man has gone far and wide in his explorations. NASA and various such aerospace researchers have shared the breathtaking “out-of–the–world” pictures with all and sundry. Various space missions, coupled with advancements in satellite photography, have contributed to this achievement of mankind.Read more…Wireless Weather Stations
In the Midwest region of the United States, the general topics of conversations are always focused on the local football teams and the growth of crops in that year. But, by default, the conversation always leads to the weather report and news. In states like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, any news about weather is a hot topic of discussion.Read more…Energy and Environment: 10 Books
At your service, and independent from any publisher or author, this article lists 10 books on energy & environment - not a top 10 list, but certainly containing some good candidates: 3 books on the role of carbon energy (1-3), 3 books on nuclear (4-6), 3 books on horizontal aspects (7-9) and concluding with last year's book on the ethical dimension of Kyoto (which proves interesting, once you can bring yourself to read beyond its title): In ‘Sustainable Fossil Fuels’, Mark Jaccard doubts our prospects for moving away quickly from carbon fuels to renewable energy sources, and expects an energy system largely dominated by fossil fuels for the 21st century. This however does not need to be incompatible with a sustainable energy system.In ‘Energy at the Crossroads’, Vaclav Smil summarizes a lifetime of energy studies.Read more…Nuclear Power: Between Promise And Peril
Since the incidents in the late 70's and 80's with 3-Mile Island and Chernobyl, nuclear technology has resides in no-man's land, between doom and dream, or between problem and peril. Twenty years after Chernobyl, is a nuclear renaissance in the making? An overview of the current status of nuclear technology: Nuclear peril Waste: technical solutions exist, but lack of a political agreementProliferation: can and needs to be managedNuclear safety: an issue for older nuclear plants, but promising 'passive safety' designs for new reactors The nuclear promise The power of the atom: a fistful of matter holding enough energy to power a city of a million for a yearClimate change mitigation: each major nuclear power station saves 6 million tonne of greenhouse gasses per year compared to fossil-based electricity generationEnergy security: abundant energy supply when using advanced reprocessing and fast neutron reactors From peril to promise Public opinion - taken hostage by extremesTechnology: extremely complex scientific & technical challenges need global cooperation and a 'man on the moon' momentum Conclusion Nuclear technology needs to address its problems, and holds tremendous promise if it does.Read more…Paradoxes in Time Travel
This section has to do with just a time travel situation where you are able to travel back to any time, meaning any part of the timeline and history, and you are able to make changes to time, i.e. no parallel universes (even though they may be a result later on, none initially) and no resolutions to paradoxes that prevent the future from being changed.Read more…

- 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 - Biotech Development - By: Marcia Henin

What is Nanotechnology and how does it applies in the science world - In this article, we will review some of the uses of Nanotechnology and its connection to the solubilization process. - The Z-Boson Mass and its Formula as Multiple Proofs in One Bowl of Yummy Pudding - By: Sean Sheeter
A demonstration of the mathematical, theoretical and, especially, empirical connotations of the phrase "Pudding Proof" in the context of a highly exacting physical model. In particular, a formula is given deriving the mass of the Z-boson from two heavy quarks and and Higgs field. Remarkably, the precise correlation with the known value of the Z-mass is thus empirically proof positive of these far less directly measurable masses, which is further supported by arithmetic and theoretic construct. - The Theory, Significance and Precise Calculation of Gluino Mass - By: Sean Sheeter
A preview of the most significant predictable particle cascades at Cern's LH-Collider in the coming years. Describes how a precise gluino mass of 6.388355 TeV relates to the super-symmetric Higgs mechanism and decays to squarks and other 'sparticles as a prerequisite to creation of 'dark mass,' as well as the unsolved puzzle of material baryon creation. Which also goes on to shows why giving three dimensionless calculations for the gluino mass are central to the e-course "241-Mumbers." - Derivation of the Pure Precise Fine-Structure Number and as a Ratio of Two Inexact Metric Constants - By: Sean Sheeter
A history of a definitive answer to #1 'millennium question' of Strings 2000 in regard to whether all fundamental parameters can be determined in a dimensionless manner. Focus's on a 'pure' calculation of the fine-structure constant from a unified 'monolithic' system that allows precise equations for the full spectrum of fundamental particle masses from Higgs/SUSY to quarks, neutrinos and dark matter. With an update on controversies of determining the fine-structure from metric measures and a few other related issues. - Proof of the Exact Up and Down Quark Masses from the Pion Mass-Differential - By: Sean Sheeter
A discussion of the equivalence of the mass differential between the charged and neutral pion as a function the mass difference between the down and up quark. Given the unprecedented mass value of the down quark = 7.763258 MeV, the up quark mass is calculable from the even more exacting d-u mass differential = 4.593453 MeV, where the experimental pion mass difference = 4.5936 plusmn.0005 MeV.
