Arxiv – Applications of Bayesian model averaging to the curvature and size of the Universe Bayesian model averaging is a procedure to obtain parameter constraints that account for the uncertainty about the correct cosmological model. We use recent cosmological observations and Bayesian model averaging to derive tight limits on the curvature parameter, as well as …
US electrical generation as about 4100 TWH in 2010 China’s electricity use may rise 9 percent to 4500 TWH in 2011, slowing from a 15 percent gain in 2010. EIA expects total U.S. consumption of electricity to fall slightly during 2011 and then grow by 2.6 percent in 2012. China may add 80 gigawatts of …

Arxiv – Holographic unification of dark matter and dark energy Using a new version of the holographic principle, a constant term was introduced, which conduces to the description of the standard cosmological LCDM model, and unifies under the same concept the dark matter and dark energy phenomena. The obtained model improves the results of previously …
The United States military has long been at the forefront of providing lifesaving training and equipment to soldiers in combat. The Sheriff’s Department recognized the extreme value of taking these advancements and putting them into the hands of first responders in the field. In June 2010, all of our deputies were given an Individual First …
1. Hess Corp. produced 20,000 boe/d from North Dakota’s Bakken oil play as of yearend 2010, and it expects to double production there by yearend 2011 Hess plans to more than triple its Bakken crude output in the next five years to 80,000 barrels a day from the current 25,000. Hess Corp. is building a …
Egypt has gone offline. In a stunning development unprecedented in the modern history of the Internet, a country of over 80 million people has found itself almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the world. The near-disconnection — at least one Internet provider is still online — comes after days of street protests demanding an …
A team of researchers from Japan, Korea, and the U.S. developed an anti-HIV gene therapy method in which a bacterial gene called mazF is transferred into CD4+ T-cells. The MazF protein is an enzyme (an mRNA interferase) that destroys gene transcripts, preventing protein synthesis. The design of this mazF gene therapy vector ensures that synthesis …
(a) Randomly generated instantaneous microscopic fractal map of dielectric permittivity in a mixture of aniline and cyclohexane just below the critical temperature Tc. (b) Same map as it looks if probed with small kz photons. (c) A similar fluctuating permittivity distribution, as it would be perceived by extraordinary photons propagating in a layered hyperbolic metamaterial …
France’s DCNS is proposing small offshore nuclear power plants called Flexblue and this is a follow up on that reactor. DCNS has been making nuclear submarines for the French navy for 40 years, Flexblue is a cylindrical unit 100 metres in length and 12 to 15 metres in diameter. Inside would be a small nuclear …
Arxiv – Reversible Logic Based Concurrent Error Detection Methodology For Emerging Nanocircuits In a reversible logic gate, every output can be transformed back in to its input. If this is done perfectly then there would zero waste. Actually building such a logic gate is a difficult and has not been done. Reversible computing seems to …
