We went over this in class last week or so, my prof does extensive work in the food processing industry and did work on fryers.
Frying is done with oil. (fatty acids and long chain hydrocarbons)
Fryers go to hot temperatures.
The food they fry has water.
The food is organic. (hydrocarbons + esters + protiens + more fatty acids)
So! We end up with: 1. Thermal degredation! Can't stop this! It's a function of N*cycles of heating! 2. Water hydates the oils! Guess what, cannot stop this either! H2O+fatty acids = hydrogination at high temps. 3. Burning pieces of food enter the oil, plus anything oil soluble will enter the oil! The burning food discolours the oil (going from golden colours to brackish brown), it's just carbon though. The other solutes are the difficult problem, whatever was in your frying food is now in the oil! 4. Oxidation nothing anyone can do will stop this, because oxygen usually has free access to the surface of fryers, and therefore oil. Industry can replace O2 with N2 or another noble gas, but it costs money.
Overall the best these "nanoparticles" could be, (ps don't even listen words like nanoparticle or nanoanything in an obvious press release) is a small sphere, coated in a semipermeable membrane. There is going to be no pressure gradient, no electrical gradient, no difference of velocity/momentum, leaving only a chemical gradient, propelled by thermal energy, which means the efficiency of this additive/process is highly limited. In an industrial setting where pressure can be supplied it would work much better.
Now for the second half of my post.
HOW DOES something which is ISOLATED from the rest of the system affect it? These spheres do not directly affect the bonding of fatty acids as they ARE PACKED INTO an AREA and placed into the oil, unless they contain an enzyme, or some solvent...(zeolite can be altered to an enzyme/acid or just a simple ion exchange column).
I say isolated because these particles cannot be free floating in the oil, because it would then attach to the food, which would not be allowed. (and again if the particles are so small (50 nanometers, a membrane of smaller porosity would be needed to hold the beads back, further decreasing the efficiency of the filtration)
PS this new method is subject to all the same degredations as was mentioned by the original oil.
I wonder how much oil it saves in term of mass flux, or how much healthier it makes the oil in terms of foreign particles, and how often the process is required to be replaced.
Interesting... but the press release is pure garbage.
not that WOW, but the surprise!
If there do exist solutions to the navier-stokes equations be prepared for something huge.
These equations play a dominating role in anything where something is moving in the presence of many other moving particles (think water, gas, landslides etc)
The significance of this finding cannot be emphasized enough, if it proves to be true. Current solutions revolve around using computers to actually simulate the ENTIRE section of the system you want, then you test for conditions at specific points. Also, only sufficiently large systems will give an answer, as you try to get a finer and finer solution to a zoomed in region, the data and simulation available either gets too small to work with, or you get so many non-linear equations to simultaneously solve that it takes up too much RAM and memory.
Second: The existance of a solution to these groups of NON-LINEAR equations may provide an answer to how non-linear equations react to starting conditions.
I am personally very excited about this, and hope it pans out properly.
ahem...
so have engineers designed new ways to maximize the magnetic flux without overloading the superconductors then? (believe me these will have to be superconducting magnets) The larger the object the larger the force to accellerate it, Major current problems involve the production of magnetic field resistant superconductors, with Nobium-Tin being pretty much the best ones, high temperature superconductors are bitches when it comes to current density, Nobium-tin is better by orders of magnitudes, but even more would be needed.
beyond that, most magnetic launchers have one huge problem, friction. Even in low pressure areas the friction is still very high, the force of drag increases proportional to the cube of the velocity? and if this projectile should touch the rails... say goodbye to the magnetic launcher... it would immediately fuse the two contacts (as a magnetically levitating device must contain a ferro/para-magnetic metal with which to levitate against the mag rails) and the METAL would fuse the rails causing arcing and ruining the device!
in addition the acceleartions would be !VERY! high, centrifuges are measured in hundreds/thousands of g's, this one operates at 20000g? anything liquid would separate, anything like glass(which is a liquid) would start creeping all over the place.
running in a circle means that there will need to be another rail controlling the missile/satellite/launchee device in radial movement... it would be much better to operate this machine up the side of a mountain in a tube of helium, or a vacuum sealed one, with a top that opens whenever needed!
peace out.

Just open up some anoymous proxies, for American developers.
Let quality speak for itself, should OSS become illegal due to patents, will that stop joe six pack for downloading the best new OS 4 years from now, especially when it's free?
Enterprises will be screwed, but who cares about them? Not me, i'll continue to work on whatever platform I like.
360 million is nothing.
Gaim communicates with yahoo and msn and 10 other protocols, and does it well. Easily surpassing 360 million users.
I chose to use it because there is no advertising on it!! A nice simple interface for talking with someone.
Although I would like to be able to send time-delay messages to a person. But I cannot do that with anything execpt msn beta anyways!! Keep on rocking the free world gaim. Keep on rocking.
They picked the easiest market to sway, young adults. In addtion, lots of disposable income(advertisement goldmine!). Not withstanding its use (the website) as a hook-up for hookups.
Combining lots of barely post pubescent teens with raging hormones and disposable income contributes to this large growth. The website scaled and spread by word of mouth. This site is the best representation of a "free internet" as far as I can tell. Everyone who wants to be on it, can be on it. This includes the spectrum of bands looking for fans with a pro website, to teens looking for a connection, including the text choice of size 55 pink wingdings on a blinking blue background or whatever.
The site has support from everyone, the users, the advertisers, the creators, the owners. Everyone is getting something they want from it. This is how a business grows so rapidly.

I am not entirely sure the correctness (and want someone to clarify if I am incorrect) of these next few statements.
Purchasing the game is different than playing online in the SWG servers. Some may find there is no distinction, however Sony sells the game, and bundles a FREE 1-2 month pass to the servers. The game is sold separately. From a contractual standpoint, does this not mean the consumer has ALREADY paid for liscensing costs for SWG?
The server does not manipulate the actual Lucas Arts IP, mearly gameplay aspects. Adding to the fact that this should fall under "fair use" exemptions, so long as the core Lucas IP is not messed with.
Sony mearly provides some algorithm development and a data storage/serving SERVICE for a FEE. Supposing it was all clean room reverse engineered, as stated above, so long as the actual data on the install CD's (or updated to whatever patch #) are not altered, we should be in the clear. The instructions residing on the server are probably not covered by copyright.
Am I wrong?

Pretty crazy that Iran and india are the top searchers for those words.
I'm baffled, if they want porn, they should be searching that.
The google results for women/woman yield wikipedia and a bunch of informative sites about womens's health!
Very interesting, also looking at cross country skiing shows Canada has large interest in the sport, and ottawa is the capital of it!
Canada also wins the beer category!
Vietnam searches for sex the most? Notice how "backwards" or theological countries have more of these searches??? Crazy
