Instead, look at the entire record, since 1929
http://www.atmosphere.mpg.de/enid/208.html/
This work began long before the IGY; there was no 'ozone hole' (pronounced change) until the 1970s.
You can look it up, and should. Here's the longest time series of measurements.
"... The key research into this subject was done by Gordon Dobson in the 1920's. He developed the Dobson spectrometer which has been used since 1929 to measure the total ozone column. It is still in use even now.
"One of the first six Dobson spectrometers was used at Arosa in Switzerland by Paul Götz and from there we have the longest time series of total ozone column measurements in the world. The trend shows that the ozone layer has become thinner over time. Values below 300 DU have been measured recently at Hohenpeissenberg in Germany, a critical limit which makes better Sun protection necessary. In the 1930's, Götz showed that the ozone concentration maximum was likely to be below an altitude of 25 km and, as a result of his work, the ozone layer was located and its thickness measured."
Figure along with the text shows the complete record from that site. The change from equilibrium to ozone layer breakdown is easy to identify. The chemistry is explained as well. -
Re:Speed of Gravitational attraction ?
However I have to say from reading the article it still seems to me this is not what they are doing. Could just be due to an oversimplification by the article.
Yeah, it's considered a minor detail that isn't important enough for the article.It seems to me they just said they were assigning a given energy level based on the amount of background radiation back at the point it started then iterating ( and using various shortcuts ) to then calculate each individual mass points affect on all 9,999,999,999 other mass points over time based on Keplers laws. In other words at its most basic it is a n-body simulation where n=10,000,000,000. Is it just over simplified ? That alone is a crapload of calculations, I would hate to have to figure out how to deal with a softening factor.
Setting the initial conditions is a little more complicated - they choose an input cosmological model, for which you can calculate the strength of density fluctuations as a function of size at early times (in this case, at t=340,000 years or so - we have a good idea of the fluctuation spectrum at that time because of the Cosmic Microwave Background), and then set up your initial conditions so that they contain the same spectrum of density fluctuations as the cosmological model you want to use.
But the force softening is actually quite easy to implement - instead of the force falling off as 1/r^2, as it would for a point mass, it's slightly weaker at small separations, depending on the exact density distribution of your "spheres". There are a few different choices you can make, but most people use a two-component spline that looks kind of like a Gaussian except that it goes to 0 exactly at 2 softening lengths.

Re:Would it be simpler in natural vacuum?
The first question that comes to mind is, does plasma research benefit from being carried out in a natural vacuum environment rather than needing apparatus to create one artificially? How does the degree of evacuation inside a fusion containment vessel compare with that in LEO, far orbit, or on the Moon?
This page states a typical pressure of 10^-7 atm for the interior of an operating fusion containment vessel. It refers to this condition as a hard vacuum, which this page defines as "a vacuum that approximates the vacuum of space." This page states an atmospheric pressure of 3*10^-9 atm at an altitude of 150 km, which isn't even LEO. (Al Shepard went more than 3x higher, and that was still a suborbital flight.) IANAHEP, but this would seem to indicate that taking advantage of the vacuum of space wouldn't be a bad idea. (The sticking point would be getting the other heavy equipment up there, along with a power supply.)

QM
Quantum chemistry is my field, and we are some of the few who actually study biochemical systems with it.
Unfortunately, I can't really say much about long-range effects myself; The number of atoms which can practically be modelled at the same time is about 100. (that's one-hundred! Not much!)
I'd say possibly the most important QM effect strucurally in enzymes is pi-stacking and pi-cation interactions. It's not something which can be modelled well by a point charge.
(And what is worse, not all QM methods can model it either; DFT is infamous for not predicting pi-stacking or VdW effects)
Another significant thing which only QM can really model is transition-metal complexes. The coordination is very difficult to predict offhand. (Field splitting, spin states, spin interactions, Jahn-Teller effect, etc, etc..)
Just the other month, Science had some interesting results, including a completeley unprecedented mode of binding for nitric oxide to copper in nitrite reductase.
Our area is the study of the catalytic functions of metalloenzyme active sites. Again, this is not something which is easily predictable.
(Like, look at Cytochrome c Oxidase.. The function was determined in 1977, X-ray crystal structures have been known for over a decade. The mechanism of proton-pumping is still unknown. (And there's lots of notable people studying it.) -
Re:geteralization and compression are equivalent
This is probably the best I can do.
Whether you're finding exploitable patterns in discrete data or estimating a "function" for a block of pixels in an image to use in some kind of lossy compression, it's a form of generalization. It's one way of formulating a learning problem.
I can think of one very interesting project offhand, which uses compression coefficients to assess expected generalization accuracy.
(Ooh. I just found a paper on Compression-based Learning. That one looks like fun.)
Okay, I've been searching for about a half an hour now. I apologize that I haven't been able to find something that proves equivalence. (There's a guy in another lab that's really into this. Maybe he's got a paper on it.) You can think of it this way, intuitively: both compression and generalization seek a small number of bits to accurately describe a large number of bits.
(Huh. Maybe this dearth of papers on compression = generalization indicates that it's something I ought to look into for a new research direction... -

It's a mixed bagI'm an American and did a BA in Computer Science and German at Berkeley, then completed an MS program in Germany. I was also offered to do a PhD in Germany, but in the end decided to return to the US instead, mostly for personal reasons. In the end, I couldn't imagine living in this city (Saarbruecken) for another 3 or 4 years and I got tired of only being able to afford to see my family (in California) once a year. Also, being a foreign student really places you on the outside of things not just socially, but also with regard to the dynamic of a research group. After the novelty wears off, you get tired of having to struggle with common things in a foreign system like getting your phone disconnected or filing a tax return.
Perhaps the biggest reason though, was that I really didn't plan to spend the rest of my life in Europe, so it made more sense to complete my degree in North America. The longer you spend abroad, the harder it becomes both logistically (more stuff) and socially (all your friends here vs. all your friends and family at home) to return.
Currently, in Germany there is a movement (pushed by some EU agreements I think) to convert the structure of the education system to match the British model. Traditionally, you earn a Diplom in Computer Science, which is equivalent to an MS. More and more schools are changing to a BS/MS track though, which will make things easier for foreign students to study in Germany and vice-versa. Unfortunately, most schools are still doing Diplom programs, but if you look around you can find MS programs around.
Simultaneously, a lot of departments have started offering courses in English (especially CS departments) in order to draw foreign students. Since hardly anybody learns German in school, it's very hard for German profs to get great foreign grad students like their counterparts based in English speaking countries. You could certainly complete the MS where I did (in Saarbruecken) without knowing any German and you'd still have a good number of courses to choose from. At some other places though, I've heard cases where students would need to take say 4 courses and there are only 4 offered in English, so you have to take those specific ones.
One big downside to doing an MS at a German university though, is that it's hard to get any financial aid. Because the MS has replaced the Diplom (which is/was the first degree earned), MS students are still viewed and treated as undergrads in almost every way. However, for foreign students, there are scholarships available, but obviously not everybody can actually get one. The biggest source is from DAAD, which I believe is funded by the German government. A couple of universities also have some scholarships as well, but I think these are few and far between. I was lucky to get one from the Max Planck Institute (via the IMPRS) located in Saarbruecken where I studied. It paid 715EUR/month, which is plenty to live on, since the cost of living is relatively low and you only need to pay around 100EUR in fees per semester.
Here, there are a lot of jobs on campus usually doing various programming tasks for a research group. Foreign students are allowed to work these jobs, but obviously there's no guarantee that you'll find a job for which you have the necessary skills.
For PhD students, there is obviously more funding available, but it really depends on your advisor's funding situation. Unlike in the US, where many, many profs have external funding from DOD, NSF, DOE, etc. in Europe there's much more of a reliance on money coming directly through the university. Hence, it seems to me that there are a lot of profs who cannot fund their students particularly well. However, those that do have lots of funding, pay their students quite well. After taking into account cost of living, the compensation is better here, but not by a huge margin.

Re:Forgive my ignorance
It is clumpy. The initial deviations from completely-smooth come from inflation. Some areas have very slightly higher density than average. Because gravity is attractive, areas with higher density attract matter from lower density regions, so the density increases further. Soon those tiny little fluctuations grow into large structures, with "halos" (roundish virialized clumps of dark matter in which galaxies form) are stretched along filaments and sheets that fill space.
Take a look at some of the Virgo consortium pictures and movies for an idea of what this looks like.
The detailed distribution of matter within halos is a matter of some debate, but it's clumpy (even within any one halo) and falls off with radius with a slope (in log-log plots... ie log(density) vs log(radius)) that ranges from about -1 (there is considerable debate about this number... depending who you ask, you'll get answers ranging from 0, ie. a central constant-density core, to -1.5) in the center to -3 in the outer parts of the halo.
Because there is much more dark matter than baryonic (normal) matter, the baryons are also concentrated in the halos. That's where they cool and form galaxies.

Re:The funny thing is, DHMO isn't even the right n
The correct name is "dihydrogen oxide". Theres no need to put the "mono" on the oxygen.
Yeah, IAAC here too. I agree with you that you don't need the "mono" part, but there are a few cases where it is used, such as N2O. N2O is commonly known as nitrous oxide but the systematic name for it is dinitrogen monoxide. You can see a listing of the names of various nitrogen oxides here.
Pretty much it ends up boiling down to which usage was more popular. For most molecules the mono is dropped but there are a few molecules where it is kept. Another example is carbon monoxide. It could easily have been called carbon oxide but that form never really caught on. -

Security != Inconvenience
This seems very inconvenient and only marginally secure. It's a major hassle to have to go to this sequence every time you want to connect. Adapting software to do it for you could help, but you can't do that for everyone.
And what if you wanted to offer your service to others, or even the general public? Do you require them all to run specially adapted software? Or do you tell them the sequence, with the risk that they forget and have to ask for it again, or leave it on a note that some malicious person could find, or even just tell it to someone else?
If you wanted to keep your knock all to yourself, rest assured that someone could sniff it just fine.
I suggest you keep your SSH port open and make sure your sshd is patched. You can then use all your other services through SSH tunnels if you like. -
Re:Alternatives to Exploiting Evolution's Accident
Soon we will design drugs, rather than find drugs.
I hope that we will one day indeed design rather than blindly search. We're centainly on the road to it. But then again, I heard the same line about designed drugs coming soon when I started studying biology, and that was, hmm, about 10 years ago.
To be fair, rational design has made some big steps forward, but the number of drugs and drug candidates that were designed completely in silico is really small. Likewise, the combinatorial chemistry approach is useful, but hasn't kept up with the big promises that hyped this approach maybe 5 years ago. But I may be biased there, the idea of blindly throwing together molecules and then letting a high-throughput assay sort out what works and what doesn't has always rubbed me as somewhat contrary to the ideal of science. It's a bit like simply bringing in more and faster monkeys to get that shakespeare play written.
Combinatorial chemistry and rational drug design can still learn a lot from nature, and in fact the two can be combined. It is impossible (and will stay so even in the future) to examine all possible chemical structures for a desired activity. For instance, there are 10^62 different molecules of a molecular weight below 500, a typical cutoff for drug molecules. If you would synthesize one molecule of each, you'd make a ball of mass that covers the whole solar system. (quoting from a recent seminar by Prof. H. Waldmann).
We can't explore the whole chemical diversity, but we may not need to. If you compare a random molecule library to one based on substructures occurring in nature, you'll find that the "natural" library has much higher hit rates than the random one. In a way, nature has worked for us as a filter, selectively enriching substructures that are meaningful in the context of proteins and receptors. Proteins are largely composed of conserved folds, therefore the structures that bind to them are likely to have conserved structures as well. Considering the more creative solutions nature uses to overcome extreme problems will enrich this library of natural structures, and thus be beneficial to rational drug design. -
Re:Gravity?
This is going to be a very difficult mission. I would love to have a job constructing the lander... I am simply amazed by the fact that we're able to hurl a piece of fragile technology at tiny objects in space that are far, far away (yes, considering how big space is, I would call Mars 'small' too) -- and they will actually get there in one piece and work.
I really hope they'll make it with this one. The German Max-Planck Institute for Aeronomy (soon to be called Institute for Solar System Research) is responsible for the lander. My mom works there, so from what she talked about I could tell how complicated the development of such a lander is.
Considering how long one of the computer scientists there has been working on the lander software, and what kinds of stress testing procedures the parts had to go through (some of them were done at Astrium in Munich and my mom had the honor of personally delivering the components...), I have deep respect for the engineers who work on such projects - even more when they actually make it work (Spirit/Opportunity).
Also, I am glad that the Rosetta project got to keep going at all, considering that originally it was supposed to visit Wirtanen (German link, for English see maybe here), a whole different comet. That also means that for the new target, the lander's software and some components even had to be redesigned to suit the new comet's features. So, good luck to Rosetta - hitting this target would be one cool achievement.
Oh, also, this ESA page has some nice information about the mission as well.

This is FUD. The standard release at times is far behind ActivePerl in providing bug fixes.

Re:Story already posted!
There's non-composited versions of the images available - there's still that weird, slightly 'painted' look to them, but I imagine it's partly due to us being brought up on grainy, monochrome images from other probes.
I found a page with some fairly in-depth information on the camera. There's also some other images that it's taken, of both Mars from a distance and of Earth. It's interesting that the instrument was originally designed for the ill-fated Russian Mars 96 mission - but the quality is still impressive now.
It's a big instrument - it comes in at a hefty 21.2kg, compared with the 60kg Beagle 2. Still, 2m resolution is rather impressive... -

Re:Peer review?
Thanks, that was exactly what I missed in the whole thing. So far, their claim to "retrodifferentiate" blood cells to pluripotent stem cells (= similar to embryonal stem cells in the 8-cell-stadium) is questionable. It seems they simply went for profit and propaganda rather than for proof-reading by the scientific community.
One (of many) more serious examples for (embryonal) stem cell research is given by D. Kaufman in PNAS 2001, 98(19), 10716-10721, for an online pdf version see Hematopoietic colony-forming cells derived from human embryonic stem cells.
Although enthusiastic about their results, the authors are honest enough to warn in the last paragraph of the article mentioned above:
The clinical promise of human ES cell-based therapies is great; however, because these therapies will be entirely novel, serious concerns about safety and efficacy will need to be addressed before human clinical trials can be initiated. The malignant transformation of cells that have been cultured for extended periods is a particular concern.
This has indeed been observed by Mathias Hoehn at the Max-Planck-Institute for Neurological Research in Cologne, Germany. As far as I remember, the researchers had caused an apoplectic stroke in rats. One week later, they injected the animals with embryonal stem cells from mice. MRT scans showed that the stem cells travelled through the rat brain right to the damaged region and started to differentiate and form a network. The stem cells, originating from different specimen, had replaced damaged tissue.
However, when the same stem cells (note: embryonal stem cells from mice) were used on mice, everything went out of control! Rather than moving to the damaged region, the stem cells started penetrating surrounding nerve cells and showed uncontrolled growth. In all mice examined, tumors were found!
Keeping that in mind, I prefer to take all "scientific" announcements in non-peer-reviewed journals with a ton of salt.

Re:Who needs a supercomputer?
small differences in the initial data manifest themselves as large-scale phenomena down the road.
A good point to emphasize when people are blindly clamoring for more computer power.
Lyapunov exponents for portions of phase space for a nonlinear system will cause this divergence.
So, yes, no matter how many bits of floating point mantissa you carry, or how precise your measure your initial conditions, exp(at) will inevitably grow if a > 0.
And, just in case anyone's proud of their accurate code and precise initial conditions, there's still Heisenberg to prevent you from measuring too much accurate information at the same time.
IIRC, someone once determined that a pencil, balanced on its point, would always fall within 22 seconds because of the inherent uncertainty in position and momentum that could be established initially.

Re:Mass defect?
If I remember correctly, the two possible deuteron fusion reactions go like this:
D+D -> T (+3.0 MeV) + p (+1.0 MeV)
OR
D+D -> He3 (+0.82 MeV) + n (+2.45 MeV)
These reactions occur with approximately equal probabilities, depending on the input kinetic energy.
I don't think you get gammas from the reaction itself, but you will get high energy X-rays when the product particles run into whatever you are using for shielding.
Neutrons are actually much more dangerous than gammas.
To calculate the mass defect, just use E=mc^2. So for the Triton generating reaction, mass defect = (3+1) MeV/c^2 = 4 Mev/c^2.
Oh, and an MeV is equal to 1.6*10^-13 Joules, if you need it in metric. Why we don't just use metric for nuclear physics, I don't know.

Re:Dumbing down degreesWill it stay this way, or will Germany be "harmonized" to conform to the Bologna agreement?
As far as I know, in Germany the "harmonization" has already begun, but is happening gradually. They seem to be converting programs in fields that have a more international bend (things like English lit, business, and computer science) first.
To some extent, I think it's a good thing, because it allows students to study in different countries. I'm actually doing an MS in Computer Science in Germany right now (they actually offer fellowships to foreign students and the program is in English for readers who may be interested) after completing a Bachelor's in the US. In order to be a significant institution in the CS research scene, you need good students, doing good work, under good faculty.
It seems to be very common in Germany for students to attend universities near where they grew up. This American concept of ranking hasn't really hit here hard yet (although it's definitely on the rise) probably in large part because the difference between universities isn't quite as pronounced in the US (average quality is certainly better, but it's hard to find the famous powerhouse places like at home). I think this has the effect that you don't find universities with a bunch of bright students, many from thousands of miles away. It's more like a state college at home, with a cross section of local people: a few really smart students, lots of average students who will make it through, quite a few people who will fail and or drop out, older people going back to school or who have just been a student for like 10 years.
While this is fine, it doesn't really produce big research institutions, where you get a high concentration of bright graduate students and successful faculty. That, while not bad for a producing an educated population, really limits the kind of research that can be done (ie, funding) and access to good students.
The introduction of Bachelor/Master programs (along with rise of English instruction in CS) allows them to lure in talented foreign students not just from elsewhere in Europe, but places with big demand for quality graduate education like India and China (which follow the Anglo degree model).
Technically, they claim (for my program at least) that the old Diplom and BS+BS are equivalent, but to some extent I'm suspect. For a Diplom, you should need 9 semesters (4.5 years) of which 2 are supposed to be spent on your thesis. However, hardly anybody finishes on time (I think average is probably around 12 semesters). Mind you, not because it's not possible, but because fees are very low and it's easy just to stay in the system, taking 2 class per term until you finish. Anyhow though, BS is supposed to take 3 years and MS 1.5. The course requirements are substantially similar, except there's some moving around of stuff to accomodate a BS mini-thesis (1 semester) and MS thesis (1 semester). To me it seems like something must be getting lost when you compress a 1 year thesis into two separate 6 month ones, but, hey what do I know.

John C. Dvorak writes "Unix is Dead! Wanna Fight??".
Also, here is a funny comeback from http://www.superhero.org "Windows 95 is finally out, and I keep reading in all the consultants' columns that UNIX is dead. I believe them, of course--they're paid well to make such pronouncements--but UNIX seems pretty lively for a corpse. Whenever a hardware vendor brings out the latest hot box, it seems to be running UNIX; the telecom industry still likes UNIX pretty much; and there sure seem to be a lot of UNIX users out there on the Internet. If UNIX is so old, how can it be producing offspring like that little scamp, Linux?
"Maybe these consultants are confusing dying with age. UNIX is old, a lot older than the other operating systems that have long since passed on. In spite of its twenty-six years, however, UNIX continues to crunch numbers while younger systems can only gum them till they're mushy. What explains this mysterious longevity?
"I have a theory. UNIX survives because, unlike other operating systems, it lacks doubt and guilt. UNIX does just what you tell it to, as quickly and efficiently as it can, and then it waits for more work. It doesn't worry about whether what you asked it to do was fair, beneficial, or even sensible. It just does it.
"By contrast, Windows frets about you. It offers you hints and choices and dialog boxes. Help is everywhere (for what it's worth). And if you ask Windows to do anything of consequence, it asks you to confirm your request, and then it tells you what it did. Delete a large number of files, and Windows is exhausted. It's not the work, it's the *stress*. It's no wonder that Windows systems tend to freeze up where a UNIX system would crash.
"UNIX snorts at Windows-style solicitude. UNIX doesn't ask you to confirm--if you didn't want it to do what you asked, why did you ask it? Similarly, it won't annoy you by reporting the consequences of what you did. Why would you enter a command if you don't first know its consequences?"

Heitman/Nimtz 1994 (see above) refer to it as "H. Aichmann and G. Nimtz, to be published", I haven't found it in Physics Abstracts (up to July 1996, I think I should look again soon), though. -
Re:Farnsworth-Hirsch-Bussard reactor?
Strangely enough, I can't find any evidence that a Farnsworth-Hirsch-Bussard reactor has ever been built or tested.
Nothing strange about that at all. It wouldn't work. Todd Rider showed that advanced fuels are very very hard to use in fusion reactors such as this.

God bless this manMax Planck. Two words, one name. Leader of modern physics. Inventor. Courageous. Man of all worlds, man of all nations, lover of physics, worshipper of love and all that is good and worldly. Planck was a genius, but didn't claim to be one. Yet, he invented something in his lab that parallels the importance of Einstein, Feynman, and Wright's findings -- quantum physics! The interactions of small little particles.
