Using satellite imagery to explore ancient Mexico: An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology RIT is using satellite imagery to peer into the ancient Mexican past. Bill Middleton, an archeologist, is teaming up with computer scientists to build the most detailed landscape map of the southern state of Oaxaca in order to learn...; Tags: NASA, Scientist, Satellite, Satellite Imagery, Bill Middleton, ScienceDaily, Network Technology, Networking, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-05-14

Have you tried the IHOP diet?: Have you tried the IHOP diet?Where this diet challenges...I do agree that W.H. Kellogg is spinning in his grave. His call for lighter breakfasts a century ago has been the basis of diet kant ever since.But my own life agrees with this diet's premise. A good breakfast keeps the snack...; Tags: IHOP, breakfast, carbohydrate, diet; Discussion threads 2008-06-22
Too green? Too much information? Global warming a natural process? Give up yet?: Too green? Too much information? Global warming a natural process? Give up yet?...Disprove evolution.Disprove global warming.Then come back to us, until then shut up! You've got nothing but ill founded beliefs and theories as well.And round and round we go... when will the denial and ignorance end?

Robots to control oil drilling platforms: In 2015, and if everything goes well, oil drilling platforms located offshore Norway will be controlled by robots. Even today, these platforms don't use many people. But the idea behind the new platform concept is to install large modular process sections in unmanned areas to allow access by one or...; Tags: Platform, Robot, SINTEF, Robots, Productivity, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-25
Bridge traffic powers its monitoring sensors: Researchers at Clarkson University, NY, have developed wireless bridge sensors which work without batteries. Instead, they are powered by the vibrations caused by passing traffic. This is good news for all the people in charge of maintaining bridges, who will no longer to have to replace batteries installed in hard-to-access...; Tags: Researcher, Monitoring, Sensor, Clarkson University, Wi-Fi, Wireless, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-10-23

Liquid drops defying gravity: Researchers at the University of Bristol, UK, have shown that droplets of liquid can travel uphill when placed on a vertically vibrating inclined plate. 'In fact, if the plate vibrates at the right rate, the droplets will always travel counter-intuitively up the incline.' This very interesting discovery will not change...; Tags: Plate, Droplet, Workforce Management, Web Site Development, Web Technology, Human Resources, Internet, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-09-27
Locating an earthquake in 5 minutes: When a powerful earthquake hit Indonesia's West Java on August 8, 2007, it took exactly 4 minutes and 38 seconds to be detected, located and sized by the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System GITEWS currently under construction in Indonesia. Even more remarkable, the location of the earthquake was found after...; Tags: Tsunami, Sensor, Indonesia, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-15
A pollution indicator on our car dashboard?: This might soon be possible according to researchers at the University of Manchester. They've designed a near-infrared diode laser sensor able to record levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane directly from your car's exhaust. Their device could be one day incorporated into onboard diagnostic systems and be permanently...; Tags: Diode, Researcher, Exhaust, Pollution, Dashboard, Laser, Diode Laser Sensor, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-09

When robots see red: We use all of our senses to interact with our environment. Our brain and our body work together, but are robots designed in a similar way? An Indiana University neuroscientist and a University of Tokyo roboticist have worked together with real and simulated robots to verify that valid information doesn't...; Tags: robot, Olaf Sporns, DOF; Blog posts 2006-10-28
A microscope creating 3-D images: A microscope built in the UK is the first in the world to produce 3-D internal pictures of objects. This microscope combines two techniques, X-ray microtomography -- which produces 3-D images from a large set of 2-D images -- and time delay integration -- which generates better images than other...; Tags: microscope; Blog posts 2006-05-04
