phy radon earthquakes

shared by pacome delva on 19 Mar 10 - Cached
  • a group of physicists, led by physics Nobel laureate Georges Charpak, has developed a new detector that could measure one of the more testable earthquake precursors – the suggestion that radon gas is released from fault zones prior to earth slipping.

shared by pacome delva on 03 May 10 - Cached
  • a team reports studying the turbulent flow of solar wind particles by monitoring the accompanying waves of magnetic field. The team used a cluster of satellites to measure the field in unprecedented spatial detail. They found that the waves aren't equally strong in all directions but are larger in certain preferred directions, as theorists had predicted. The observation will help astrophysicists better understand the consequences of the solar wind, including its effect on the transmission of cosmic rays, particles that arrive at Earth from elsewhere in our galaxy.

    "WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a three-month investigation, a team of Northwestern University student reporters has found that the US nation's security establishment is not adequately prepared for many of the environmental changes that are coming faster than predicted and that threaten to reshape demands made on the military and intelligence community. This is despite the fact that the Defense Department has called climate change a potential "accelerant of instability." The Medill School of Journalism graduate student team began publication on January 10 of its findings on the national security implications of climate change with a series of print, video and interactive stories."

  • Kaggle is an innovative solution for statistical/analytics outsourcing. We are the leading platform for data modeling and prediction competitions. Companies, governments and researchers present datasets and problems - the world's best data scientists then compete to produce the best solutions. At the end of a competition, the competition host pays prize money in exchange for the intellectual property behind the winning model.

  • But not everyone is optimistic about discovering SUSY. "We will get in a crisis, I think, in a few years," Dorigo predicts, sceptical of the theory because it introduces so many new particles of which data presently show "no hints". However, even though he would lose a $1000 bet, he says that he would still be among the first celebrating if the LHC does turn up sparticles.

    Certainly too early for a definite answer, they will keep us in suspense for another few years. But don't worry, whatever is found, Arkani-Hamed will have at least 50 models that can explain this...

  • Policy makers would be much better placed to combat the effects of global warming if scientists had access to accurate measurements of the Earth's radiation balance from a dedicated satellite, claims an international group of physicists.
  • it estimates that the satellite could cut a decade or more from the time needed to make useful projections of global temperature at the end of the 21st century.

  • The Copenhagen group discovered that the redshifts agreed with the predictions of both general relativity and f(R) gravity, the theory that tries to avoid dark energy. However, the error bars on the redshifts excluded MOND and TeVeS, the theories that try to avoid dark matter.

    wow - how comes that after so many years there are still some hidden "patterns" in primes? does however not seem to help for predicting where to discover new higher prime numbers, correct?
