Anytime you unroll something like Scotch tape it generates static electricity due to the surfaces separating. The transfer of electrons is apparently enough to generate xrays. The static generation is easy to try at home.
My thoughts exactly. It helps them be a better doctor by understanding how certain things are constructed or interact.
I remember one time where my doctor prescribed a different medicine that just happened to be the levo- form of the one I was currently taking. To me, understanding simple things like that is a key factor to becoming a good doctor.
I joined the order of the engineer. We also took a pledge at graduation that was based on the Engineer's Creed. Engineers also have state licenses which can be revoked for bad practices.
I saw one of these in use a few weeks ago by one of our VPs. He was walking around the room showing his presentation on the walls and ceiling. It was kind of difficult to see compared to the normal projector that was in use. He said the first generation is a little dim, but the second generation for release should be brighter. He also mentioned that you really can't tell a difference in a dark room--we were in a conference room with the lights on.
I didn't get a good look at it, but it must have some sort of storage on it. His wasn't connected to his computer, but he was scrolling through different slides.
It depends a lot more on the shape of the rocket than you think. This is basic vortex shedding similar to what caused the downfall of the Tacoma Narrows bridge. They can solve this by adjusting the resonant frequency of the booster or by reducing the vortices that are produced in the booster.
That's most likely what happened. Some schools arent' part of the facebook network. However, those without a school likely join a regional network based on what large city they live near. As long as you belong to that network and the person doesn't have their privacy settings turned up, you can view their profile.
My guess is that an administrator or teacher was freinds with a student on facebook. One of their freinds either tagged them in a photo or they put up the photo themselves and it escalated from there.
What about if you have facebook, but never added this application? There are lots of stupid apps that people add now. Most of them are poorly written and are just spam to begin with. A lot of them actually spam your friends when you add the app. Facebook is turning into myspace little by little.
I remember the plum juice episode. Even with the vacuum pump it didn't reach the top because of the nature of water (surface tension, density, viscosity...). I remembered that lesson years later when we were discussing a similar topic in a low level chemical engineering class.
This would never work as it makes too much sense. My hometown in BFE Northwest Kansas used scontrons for voting as long as I can remember. They were easily counted electronically, but available for a hand recount. The method you describe would eliminate the bubble filling errors you mentioned. Sadly, to be "compliant with the state" the county now uses electronic voting machines that leave no paper trail. Funny thing is that they had to reorder new machines for the upcoming local primary because the machines they used last fall did not meet state standards.
I agree, microns are hardly nano scale. My master's thesis topic involves trying to develop a nanoporous membrane to be used in lithium ion batteries. If I ever make pores, they will be 10-20 nm in diameter (trust me, I've seen pictures). Which reminds me, I need to go check on something in the lab.
Good question. I've never had to use drugs (aside from caffine for late nights), but I had a classmate that took Ritalin to help him pay attention in class. While I was shaking my knee and staring at the lights, he had chemical help in class--just not fair in my opinion.
The secondary infection is why I always take anibiotics when I get a cold. I had some health problems growing up and one time grew out pseudomonas in my sinuses. A couple week course of Cipro is almost standard for colds for me now so that the pseudomonas doesn't take over. If Cipro doesn't work, I have had some success with Levaquin. If all else fails, geocillin usually takes care of the problem. Growing up, a bad sinus infection usually meant iv treatment because I wasn't old enough to take Cipro.
The last part of the article had an interesting point. It mentioned that drug companies usually test new antibiotics on easy to kill bacteria rather than testing them on the difficult ones. The weak drugs just make the tough bacteria harder to kill.
He did alright. He was getting a lot of stuff acomplished that he never had time to do before. The only drawback came when he passed out on top of a girl and woke up in the bottom of a river with chains around his ankles.
I'm too lazy to read the article or to look up past slashdot posts, but hasn't this been discovered before? It seems like every few months scientists come out with a new "planet" beyond Pluto. Are they all "discovering" the same one, or are we up to ten objects beyond Pluto that also circle our sun?
Engineers can work in other areas that they aren't licensed. According to the guidlines they have to know their own boundaries. If an EE chooses to do the thermal enginerring part of it, that's fine. If said EE does that part of the project and he/she didn't have have training/knowledge of the subject, then there is a problem. If he/she chose to outsource it to an engineer competant in that area, then that is only legal/ethical if he/she notifies the client that the work is being outsourced. There's a bunch of legal/ethical issues on the FE that most students aren't exposed to until the actual test or the review for the test as I was.
What you are doing is what my university required. We were required to take macroeconomics, english, and the like. There was something around a total of 30 hours required that were not science or math related. This forced us to be well-rounded individuals with respect for other areas.
As for those of you who are complaining about bad pay and no jobs--you must not be real engineers. The average starting salary for my classmates that have jobs (the rest are in grad/professional school) is somewhere between 55k and 60k a year.
If that guy couldn't hack it in chemistry and physics, there's no way he would have survived in Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena.
There are way too many "pretty" websites that are concerned about form over function. A lot of times these pretty websites tend to be just bandwidth hogs. Hopefully slashdot recognizes this problem and continues on with putting function above form.

I agree. My ears are bleeding after that crap. That pretty much clears up the debate of whether or not Guitar Hero hinders your musical instruction.

You'd think Nigeria would have a host of auction scammers.
