That distribution kicked in the patent clause of GPL. Thus estoppling all licensing claims their patents against Linux.. I.E. They authorized duplication, distribution, and use by their Employees/Sub-contractors/etc all of which are 3rd parties to M$ corporate patent port folio.
Besides the "ideal gas law, of PV =nRT", the act of checking the pressure leaks some air out of the ball.. Those valves aren't perfect, same with the gauges..
This happens to me all the time with my mountain bike tires. Each time you measure, some air leaks out and it's a couple PSI less the next time you remeasure a few seconds later.
Lastly, The temperature of the air filling the ball might have been substantially elevated above room temp by the compressor. I.E. Heat of compression, combined with waste heat from compressor motor + friction inside the pump itself is dumped into air tank. Especially if the compressor had just been fired it up(or had been running for some time), and it had to run for a couple of additional minutes rebuilding the reservoir tanks to cutoff pressure.(~150-200psi).
This phenomenon is well known in the diving industry, tanks are routinely filled to 3600-3700psi, only to have it settle down to ~3200-3300psi once the previous hot tank/air inside cools down to ambient temperature.
Telomerase only works (naturally) in 3 kinds of human cells
Not once in the article I quoted nor my posts have mentioned Telomerase, shifting the focus of the discussion, instead of admitting your error.
Finding a study is a simple task by googling "diet and exercise telomeres", yielding Scholarly links
But nooo, you insist on being an a irrational poster, changing the subject and complaining I haven't met your requirements. If you really want a science links here, but the Prostrate cancer study, (5yr follow up, Blood cell telomeres lengthened by +10%, verses -3% control group) is behind a pay-wall. I suppose you'll complain about that as well.
The cure for cancer is toxic (chemo, radiation) and often does more damage than the cancer. What we really need is a breakthrough in the Prevention of Cancer.
Dementia cured in 20 years, I wouldn't bet on that. The blood brain barrier is not an easy thing to get around. The most likely thing that will slow down brain impairment is a diet rich in the appropriate short and medium chain fatty acids and mental exercises. I.E. not the Paleolithic diet.
He is also missed two other significant factors that contribute to significant life extension, A calorie restricted diet and fair amount of exercise(which lengthens Telomeres). A large early death factor centers around people not taking care of their kidney's.
And then there is are number of man made environmental factors. Poorly tested chemical additives.. GMO crops and the ever increasing amounts of glyphosates that goes with them. Other classes of Pesticides, Modern artificial sweeteners, etc Ingestion/inhalation of man made radioactive isotopes. Any one of which can sink his life extension plans before he knows it.
Next on the hit list is family history of long lived relatives(genetics) or just being a bit too tall or fat. A Large body mass has a tendency to were out organs, and shorten lifespan.
My bet he'll be dead by 75, maybe 80. Most rich persons aren't willing to make the appropriate life style changes to really slow down the aging process.
two words.. LOAD MANAGEMENT can solve a majority of this problem..
My house doesn't winter space heating, daily management of insulated window shades and capturing the morning sun takes care of most of those needs.
Summer A/C is when I use the most, but that matches nicely with solar flux. Just program it stay ahead by cooling down a few extra degrees during peak solar production. (Treat the house as a big thermal battery). It's not hard, one just needs to get use to a bit more in thermal swings. And when it's cloudy, a/c doesn't need as much. anyway.. P.S. Clouds only reduce PV output typically 30 to 65%,
Likewise my hot water heater, freezer and frig can all be used as thermal batteries.. Let the freezer and frig cool down a few extra degrees during peak solar output.. those compressors will remain shut off for most of the evening/night. Same goes for my heat pump WH, let it fire up during peak solar output hours.
That takes care of the big items..A few kWh of energy stored in batteries can take care of most of the other night time loads., LCD TV, LED lights,Microwave, etc.
I pointed in my emails that SA induced errors had prevented the Airline industry from widely adopting GPS as a navigation aid. And that a Cd-rom sized database, coupled with accurate unscrambled GPS signals could have prevent these crashes. I also pointed out that non-SA'd GPS signals had many other useful civilian purposes. (car nav, marine nav, etc.)
Imagine to my surprise, when I received a written reply letter (Sept, 1997), from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense(Space). Outlining DOD and FAA plans to integrate GPS into the aviation industry and President Clinton's pending consideration, (starting in 2000), to remove SA scrambling from the GPS signal. The rest is history
Looks like "The power to tax is the power to destroy" is going to be demonstrated once again.
If Hungary the want's to jump back into the stone age, so be it. P.S. This is just Draft legislation.. If the proposal is made into law, I see Google, Yahoo, and every major ISP abandoning that country in short order. Same goes for any web hosting providers. Backbone providers will route their traffic around that tiny country. I expect the transition to be relatively dramatic.
One can only hope the voters recall their conservative stone age representatives and put in socialists in charge, with an eye to the future. I can also see the EU court stepping in an declaring this tax to be invalid/moot as a violation of human rights.
.. Ebola survivors suffer from many post illness conditions.. link
Dr. Amar Safdar, associate professor of infectious diseases and immunology at NYU Langone Medical Center, told CBS News these chronic conditions are a result of the body's immune response. He said Ebola survivors are at risk for arthralgia, a type of joint and bone pain that can feel similar to arthritis. Ebola survivors also frequently report complications with eyes and vision, an inflammatory condition known as uveitis which can cause excess tearing, eye sensitivity, eye inflammation and even blindness..
It''s only a matter of time before the extremists in society deploy bio-weapons.. (natural or man-made).. Be prepared to deal with it..
Agreed, I had to deal with these types on the Usenet forums. It seams no insult was too low for these types. They used 100's of aliases, I kept track of them and posted a list periodically.
When they started posting criminal confessions in my name.. I called the FBI office near the perp, that only slowed them down.. Even a threat of legal action didn't seam to phase them. Eventually they stopped when they could no longer get a response from me.
The last model year for the 3000 GT was 1999.. 14 years ago.. For enough of them(~151,000, 1991-1999, 3000GT+Stealth) to still be on the road and make this list is quite impressive..
The 3000 GT VR4 and it's companion Dodge Stealth Twin turbo were impressive cars. Stock 300HP, 4 Wheel drive, Active Suspension+4 Wheel Steering(1991-1993), and were well ahead of it's time. Thank you, Mitsubishi for these awesome automobiles. P.S.. My 1991 DSTT is still on the road(no tickets, 15 years+).
You made some mistakes(mixing up units).. the lowest possible temp is -273.15C or -459F, or 0 kelvin. (absolute zero). Increase in flame temp when combusted with air will be approx +10.4C.. (0.04 * 2483K) + (0.96 * 2223K) - 2223K = +10.4K.
+10.4K/(2223K-290K(or 323C)) = 0.53%(17C) to 0.55%(50C) increase in efficiency to help offset 4% H2's 2.71% reduction in energy content. Since most applications are direct thermal usage(water/hot air/etc) no additional losses will be incurred.
As for losing ~2.2% of heat energy, in exchange for cleaner burning fuel. It's a tossup.
Err. The 4% H2 portion burns hotter than other 96% ch4 & c2h6, so the hotter flame temperature is going to help make up for some of the 2.8% loss in energy density for any given volume of gas.
Beyond 4%, I expect we'll build a separate underground H2 storage network, were surplus Electricity delivered to site nearby a Combined cycle CH4/H2 power plant.. Electricity converted to H2,stored underground, and piped in separately to CCPP as needed/available.
As renewable energy percentage increases, within a few decades those CCPP's will be powered by solely stored H2, and CH4 will be conserved for other usage. Eventually, to help nature along, we'll extract carbon from either the ocean and/or atmosphere, and then combine it with H2 to make CH4 and pump it back into the ground.
This is not about a defective boiler pump.. It's about a reoccurring problem with broken boiler re-enforcing wires
They found a broken boiler spine in 2007, and spent 150 million pounds investigating fixes.. from what I've read they found more corroded/broken per-stressed re-enforcing spines.
"3.4. Leaking pressure vessel cooling water was also found to have entered a
chamber containing BCU pre-stressing wires and as a consequence of this, a
programme of radiography to reveal corrosion degradation was initiated. During
inspections on Reactor 1 at Hartlepool in late 2007, the tendon wires were found to
have unexpectedly high levels of corrosion, which led to one tendon wire having
broken near to its anchor. Subsequent inspection of the BCUs on these other
reactors found similar evidence of corrosion, indicating that this was a generic issue,
not confined to Reactor 1 at Hartlepool."
That's just the tip of iceberg.. M$ cutoff access to my Win 7 version of skype 6.6,0.106.. last updated 6/13/2013 !
I don't appreciate relativity simple applications requiring a constant stream of updates. It makes me think it's some sort of NSA/Gov spyware. It's better to just remove it and forget about them, too much hassle for little return value. Write them off and move on..
P.S. Oracle Java is quickly approaching negative return threshold and may soon join skype in my list of unstable/unreliable applications/addons.
Some are FRAND and some are not.. A number of M$ patents have expired, ergo Samsung's position is much stronger now. Additionally, M$ transferred a large number of patents to a 3rd party, so they don't have nearly as much to offer in a cross license agreement.
Samsung's position is entirely rational, but less than ethical.
more than ethical, for different reasons.
Since Microsoft purchase Nokia, they must enter into a cross license agreement or pay royalties to Samsung. Now M$ may pull an Apple and claim they shouldn't have to pay for standard essential cell phone patents.. But that argument becomes a double edged sword, since M$ patent licenses cover the standardized memory card file format(oopsey - standard essential ) . So what's good for the goose is good for gander so to speak..
Samsung clearly and right fully, thinks they shouldn't have to pay M$ any more royalties, since the material terms of the contract have changed since M$ has become a cell phone manufacturer.
.. Oh, you didn't mention that it takes six hundred years for the deadliest of the food chain isotopes (Cs-137, Sr-90) to decay to a reasonable concentration.. Yep other than that, contamination can be reversed.. Just not in a typical human life span .
P.S. Even time passage of a million years has little effect on some the other longer lived fission isotopes. Like Cs-135(6.9% fission yield, I-129, 0.84% yield).. Iodine-129 is particularly nasty since half of an animal's Iodine is concentrated in the thyroid gland. A 60,000 gram human has a thyroid that weights ~15 grams, you do the math.
I'll add a couple of corrections to your list
4.3) CO2 absorbs IR photons, but also re-emits IR photons, but in a randomized spherical manor. 4.5) Increased randomization of IR photons interferes with the normal flow of energy from earth's surface to outer space. 4.7) As CO2 concentration increases more and more IR photons are re-directed back towards earth's surface at all levels of the atmosphere. 7) The net effect of increasing CO2 concentration increases temperature near earth's surface and decreases it at high altitudes.
You're a bit out of date(2010), I see. Atmospheric CO2 has been crossing the 400ppm mark lately, (avr 399 ppm)
Over the last year(june2013-june2014) it climbed by 2.56ppm, and that rate of increase appears to be accelerating, thus humanity is going to be in deep doo-doo real soon if we don't stop burning fossil fuels.
The other facts you seam to be missing, Our star(SOL) was somewhat dimmer in the past, thus requiring much higher CO2 levels to keep the earth from freezing over. And that humanity is totally dependent on the current climate patterns..

A fair amount of M$ patents over Linux are invalid, because Microsoft duplicated and distributed Linux internally.
That distribution kicked in the patent clause of GPL. Thus estoppling all licensing claims their patents against Linux.. I.E. They authorized duplication, distribution, and use by their Employees/Sub-contractors/etc all of which are 3rd parties to M$ corporate patent port folio.
A similar claim can be made for Nokia android phones, which Nokia android phones of which Micosoft paid 7.2 Billion for.

Some background.. around the Clinton era thingy... I think it was three plane crashes that convinced President Clinton to remove SA.
I wrote an E-mail to President Clinton(1997) pointing out, that three recent crashes had a common factor, which was Controlled flight into terrain because the pilots did not know their position. CFiT crashes were "1995, American Airlines Flight 965", "1996, Ron Brown, US commerce secretary", "1997, Guam".
