What To Do For My Dog On His Birthday

In transatlantic flight. Each passenger has a little screen and select the movie you see or hear the music. Even families who see the same movie I make everyone on your screen, at your pace. All plugged into their ears through headphones, when you take yours just hear the engines and the distant crackle of a bag of peanuts.

Yesterday on the train we all saw the same movie, but the sound individual. Contrary to what happens with football matches seen in company, this fragmentation of sound inhibits the expression of feelings, although the film had strokes of humor no one dared to laugh out loud, smile and a laugh uncontrollably and fleeting at best.

fragmentation to the complete individualization entertainment but has been occurring gradually, it was fast enough to be very clear, and shows various peculiar aspects. One first is containment, the inhibition of externalization of feelings that occur as just discussed. Another is the dependence of the headphones, while among teenagers have become an element of fashion and trends of miniaturization succeed or gigantification. It would be nice to go looking if this life is continually sounding false some effect, presumably harmful on the ears, not just evolved to that environment.

Last but certainly most important, is the confinement to the "comfort zone" personal: the selection of what you see and what you hear is based on existing criteria, and if done in a non-permanent exposed to the serendipity of finding something unexpected (and wonderful) as put on TV, or wherever. This idea is not mine, I read it to Psudópodo HERE. Then I copy literally a piece of your post that I found shocking:

"In the old days We were resigned (yet in many countries are) to the person with whom we share our lives was elected without contest our will: the parents arranged the marriages. Now would not tolerate that, although they tolerate our co-workers or people with whom we share a moment on the bus are not elected by us.

But increasingly, the transition that occurred at the life of the project is now producing at any times, we pass with whom we (speaking on the phone, but also listening to our music) and not to fortunate who has allotted us.

This looks good, but impoverishes us, cease to exist on input from direct experience that read Michael Crichton "
The previous transatlantic flight I did not had little screen, I spent much of the journey chatting with my seatmate, I did not know and I have not seen since then, although I remember much of the conversation. Now I turn to the small screen of the films doubting that you will remember in the future anything you see today.

ears plugged by R & D Conference on Employment of People with Disabilities

On April 7 there was a day dedicated to the study of R & D for the employment of persons with disabilities. The stockings were organizing to Navarro Service Employment. Attendance was high, between 30 and 40 people representing special employment centers and other organized or sponsored related to the topic. Unlike other times, the press was not advised, nor the UPNA or by the organization as well as for uninvited went quite unnoticed.

day's program can be found here . In the inauguration ceremony were the Chief "in the industry" (as he said) José María Roig Aldasoro and Research Vice President Alfonso Carlosena.Como UPNA corresponds to an inauguration, the importance of this issue glossed d elas days for both Gobieno of Navarre, the one as to public universities, the other. All pleased with the synergy between the institutions in charge of the case.

Then I had to start me with the technical program, with the presentation that left "embedded" below. Yes, I know I start as always with this tricycle, but they are different audiences, and is very Fig. After Nestor Garay , UPV-EHU we presented its research and, above all, the Master Assistive Technology Personal Autonomy he leads. After the interesting networking that always accompanies this type cafes event, we turn to the second part of the day with three more papers:

Patxi Fabo of Job Accommodation , "Software tools for improving employment of people with intellectual disabilities", for I use a great Prezi we'll see if we can link here.

Xabier Valencia, Vicomtech , "URH as technology support the work adapted"

How To Acknowledge Sympathy Cards

Watching TV together

Cuenda I woke up this morning, my youngest son (not the dinosaur ) was already there, watching TV. I saw a cartoon with a funny joke and gave a very slight smile, almost imperceptible. Then realized that I had entered the haitación and his smile was much broader and more natural, even laughed.

I never realized so clearly about why we like to get together to watch football or other sports on television. On the one hand we feel like giving free rein to our emotions and externalize freely but on the other hand, being alone is very rare (even silly) get to laugh, cry, raise his arms ... externalizing emotions. The emotions are externalized, as we speak, to communicate with other people, probably why we find it so strange to talk alone, and in the same package is non-verbal communication. So when we expect very excited about a show looking for company to facilitate the enjoyment of those emotions, without discomfort, and the strangeness of it alone and the need to restrain.

not need as much thought, but it has helped me enjoy even more Phineas and Ferb with sin.

For bridges and resonances (and sociologists)

to rocking a child on a swing you have to give nudges in the right moments. When the swing has reached its peak and will begin to move away from us is when we give it the push. Thus the pulse frequency synchronized with the power to communicate the swing with the same natural frequency, the frequency at which pendula leaving it at your leisure. It is producing a mechanical resonance. Resonance is called the situation in which a regular supply of energy to a system occurs at a frequency that matches the characteristic of that system.

By playing the flute touches the air blowing on the edge of the nozzle and vibrations of many frequencies. Some of these frequencies is able to enter into resonance with the length of the tube (see here the relationship between frequency and length) and is amplified, converted into audible sound, and change the frequency of the sound by changing the length of Tupo (uncovering or covering holes).

To explain the mechanical resonance is common to speak of bridges. I still remember my explanation of elementary physics professor who told me that armies training break to cross bridges that marking the passage all at once could be in resonance with the bridge itself and break. Not if there are documented examples of soldiers breaking bridges to cross them in training, but there is a bridge if blown by the wind. This is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Seattle (USA), the November 7, 1940 fell under the influence of wind with the fortune that was recorded. Then include the video, which is truly spectacular:

A further interesting phenomenon can take place when considering bridges and mechanical resonance is the one that occurred at the opening of the so called Millennium Bridge in London in 2000. This footbridge was opened on June 10, 2000, and had to be closed again two days later by this phenomenon. Small vibrations that occur at random cause people tend to walk in a manner that compensates it takes to synchronize the passage of many people automatically, making march in formation, amplifying the vibration and endangering structure. The very construction of the bridge to pedestrians auto-sync with its natural frequency! This would be difficult to believe if it were not that apparent in the following video (as of 11:10 seconds is impressive):

it is seen that with a jumper "adequate" need not come in training soldiers for the dreaded resonance occurs, the bridge itself incites to march in formation ... The sobering thing, the timing of passage of people who do not know of anything is a collective phenomenon, emerging , we can see very well because it is easily observable, but surely there are many emergent phenomena in the behavior of group people not so easily verified. Not if the Millennium Bridge will be inspiring for Sociologists. Today

published history bridge in Takoma "Talking science" , and that input is what I have Segre is.

Elections Rector

Tomorrow we have to vote. Get to choose what will be the Rector of the Universidad Pública de Nravarra for the next four years.

Unlike the above, all previous ones since I came to the UPNA for almost 18 years, these elections have been completely marginalized. Even while no one has asked me to vote.

The campaign has been of such discretion and elegance that have been published photos seemed more a story of weddings electoral campaign photos. There were more campaign posters alternative "anti" of Eraldatu (in which they proposed as Rector Ruiz Mateos) that the two candidates together.

We have become cryptogams ! Everyone is avoiding the conversation, if ultimately we can not avoid very weighted institutional trials that do not allow the vote to discover the meaning of the coterie. The manifestos are full of desire for progress, dialogue and participation. I personally miss concrete proposals and explicit definitions of the university model that everyone seeks. Newspapers (local) and rumors identify candidates with policy positions, with matches even in a display of over-simplification.

I'd like to hear someone say, I closed the campus of Tudela, reconfigured the map of modern proposals qualifications (such as a degree in Nanoscience) and dual degrees. Reorganize the rules of academic organization on the EHEA simplifying the maximum (for example by reducing the types of courses). Prohibit the movement of motor vehicles inside the campus and would bicycle parking in all buildings. Limited parking on campus to the university community. Work to eliminate the bad atmosphere between PAS and PDI (doing more jobs near each other, creating joint working groups to improve procedures and so on.). Limit the inspection functions of PDI (even eliminate) and instead recover effective procedures for evaluating the quality of teaching. Etc. etc..

I have not read anything in this direction. But there is one candidate who has been Rector and his management has not aimed in that direction ... Ops, I'm going phanerogamous, heavens!

Today I am meeting with this graphic in which is another application of the "universal law of distribution" in this cas. As we have already seen last few entries, when to divide, distribute, UNVERSAL magnitude is that the distribution consists of "many a little and take a few take much." This law has been rediscovered in several disciplines, and each is named after its discoverer. Has probably reached more relevant is Pareto that the estableción in an empirical way, with a rather general character and also in a particularly easy to understand (the rule of 80% versus 20%). The shape of the curve had to be this was inevitable, with the contribution work specific values. If it tried to resolve the question of how much influence in society is Twitter? the answer is clear: for a few lots and lots of very little.

Indeed, the intensity of earthquakes is also this type of distribution, which follows intense that very few, and very very intense, very very few ... and so on, without the possibility of limiting the top. Although increasingly more improbable, can not be excluded either, however large.

more globalized than we Odds

are now published a detailed study of radioactive products detected in the bay of San Francisco. last week also were measured at several stations English Radiation Protection pollution data from the Japanese plant. Of course, the quantities of radioactive material are negligible and the possible effects on human health or the environment undetectable. However, the existence of these data allows an interesting reflection.

We know that radioactive contamination comes from Fukushima because there are no alternative sources of radioactive contamination, fortunately. The measure because the technology of measurement of radioactivity is highly developed and are easily detected amounts minimum, and also because there is radiation protection networks that monitor the environment routinely. In addition radioactive isotopes are diverse and can be studied separately, allowing levels of analysis much more detailed than for other pollutants. And of course, these values \u200b\u200bare measured because the contamination extends throughout the atmosphere and reaches a greater or lesser extent, worldwide.

When an oil spill at sea , which happens more often than some nuclear accidents, pollution also spreads globally. It is not easy to identify hydrocarbons in Malaga spill from the Gulf of Mexico , but not because they are, but because the processes of detection are not as fine as in the nuclear case. And not to mention when talking about gas pollution, CO2 and other gases from burning fossil fuels spread through the entire planet. Today gasoline is unleaded because the lead that had accumulated gas in ancient polar ice. The propellants for deodorants (and other sprays) a few years ago accumulated in the stratosphere, more than 15 km altitude. We know this because there is the ozone layer, and is seriously affected by these gas propellants (also used in the cooling circuits of old refrigerators and air conditioners).

In 1883, Krakatoa, a volcano located between Borneo and Java, erupted explosively releasing into the atmosphere huge amounts and ash. These materials enveloped the earth in a few months, and remained significantly for several years. This resulted in a wonderfully colorful sunsets, blue moons, and changes in the Earth's climate with thermal declines are estimated at 1.2 degrees.

The planet is smaller than we usually travel by pollution air and sea reaching all corners to a greater or lesser extent. At the moment it is swallowing all discharges and diluted to almost go unnoticed, but it is inevitable that the dilution capacity will saturate. It has all the earmarks of the first contaminant accumulation on a global scale which is starting to become problematic is the CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

Fukushima

The accident is very stable and now the news has shifted to the radioactivity has escaped, and probably still leaking. If the nuclear plant operation is complex to explain in a couple of minutes, the basic concepts of radioactivity are impossible. But this is the time to care which will grant you the media and their audiences.

The radioactivity is measured is a units that are rare, and this makes them tend to avoid the precise values \u200b\u200band in turn relate in proportion to a given reference "normal", "the legal limit "or something like that (see headlines 1 , 2 or 3 ). Since the biological effects of low doses of radioactivity are very rare and can only be established statistically, the information conveyed by these headlines it is terribly misleading.

If we consider small or moderate exposure to radioactivity (after I put numbers to these adjectives) which produces radioactivity is an increased likelihood of developing cancer in the future, a future of about 8 or 10 years for leukemia and 20 for other tumors. So how much is that likely? Calculation is difficult, since not much data available there is no choice but to extrapolate results from higher doses (from Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl in particular). But it's even harder to get a correct perception of the calculated data.

Bridging the gap is the same with the snuff. Smoking increases the chance of getting cancer, especially lung, but not exclusively. Perhaps the daily contact with the snuff counterintuitive allows us to analyze the effects of very small probabilities. Does smoking 6 cigarettes a day doubles the chances of getting cancer from smoking about 3? Would almost certainly say no, chances are the same and very small in both cases, indistinguishable from the likelihood of cancer but not smoking anything at all. On the other hand smoking 4 packs a day if we would think that increases the risk of cancer far more than smoking a pack ... well, that's assuming that they may be sustained for some time, several years at least. Does smoking a pack a day for 10 years doubles the likelihood of cancer who smoked a pack for 5 years? probably not. We understand that the risks (increased likelihood of getting cancer) associated with these events are very very small, and that in these ranges can not be applied directly arithmetic (double time or double the dose does not double the risk).

Still, smoking is prohibited by law in many places (most recently in all enclosed public places), it is forbidden to sell snuff to minors, restrictions on the advertising of snuff, etc. The authorities try to minimize risks population, even though these very small now.

The same goes for radioactivity. We live in an environment with a constant background level of a given value, generally small and variable from place to place. "Doubling the dose doubled the risk of getting cancer? Probably not even multiply by 100 (see this exciting display dose and the phenomena that cause them). This does not mean you have to go around playing with radioactive material as the "boy plutonium, but not be alarmed because the sea water near the plant" if it exceeds 300 times the legal limit "or because were to be found Pamplona radioactivity from Fukushima "increasing by 50% the background level." The latter has not happened yet, but would not rule in the coming weeks.

I told a friend yesterday that resemble the nuclear Esteban Bethlehem, and not without reason, for me these days are calling all the local media. I have not said no to anyone. I think I should take advantage of opportunities that you have to give a technical view, realistic and set of facts, especially when there are other "colleagues" they are doing just the opposite ... In the end, then let the media appearances of which have reference, and then sources I consider reliable information to deepen the accident Fukushima and nuclear technology in general.

nuclear risk

This text is published today (March 18) in Diario de Navarra

Pamplona is a city known worldwide for the running of their parties, an event in which young men risk their lives having fun in the transfer of the bulls from the corral to the square. No doubt that this activity entails a risk, a risk of death than runners voluntarily assume change is enjoy them. From a technical point of view you can define risk as the probability of harm, in this case death or serious injury. Moreover, the perception of risk does not correspond directly with the calculated probability. One of the most typical examples is the risk of death due to transportation, is well known that the probability of dying in a plane crash almost a thousand times less than in a car crash and yet the perception does not correspond to the data. Almost no one fears get in the car and many people fear the plane. Fear does not have to match the risk probability understood as art.

The accident at Japanese nuclear plant in Fukushima, the population has woken up in nuclear fear, but not only in the population can reasonably be affected by the event, but in the world. As they say the fear is free, but more details about the risks we face can help us better sobrellévalo.

When we think of nuclear energy, the risk we face is the risk of death from radioactive contamination. With the name of radioactivity we refer to a set of radiation with enough energy to affect the ionized matter. Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon with which we live every day, the sun, cosmic rays, rocks, soil and atmospheric gases bombard our body with radiation. In the case of radioactivity apply the aphorism that no poison but doses. People who receive a very high dose of radiation suffer widespread cellular damage leading to multiple disorders and rapid death, as were the "liquidators" that mitigated the Chernobyl accident at its peak or that of Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian exespía Wall in 2006 poisoned by radioactive polonium. Between this level so terrible and natural radioactivity in which we live every day what can we expect if Fukushima?

The accident is still evolving, and weather conditions also play an important role, but I think we risk a scenario in which roughly three different areas. A central area close to, say, about 5 km, in which the radioactivity is, it seems that it already is, very intense and should be avoided at all costs. A second perimeter of high radioactivity that if these people remain long times would be affected so that the likelihood of cancer throughout his life in a clearly noticeable increase. The extent of the area is heavily dependent on the details and not less than 20 km (bearing days and evacuated) nor more than 150 km Further exposure to radioactivity would generate a slight increase in risk of the likelihood of cancer throughout life. What is mild, 2, 15, 35 times? Do not think anyone can answer at this time, and depend very much on the details.

how you perceive the risk of increasing the likelihood of a cancer is a very personal matter, and the efforts to be done to help compensate each other in different ways. This explains the different approach of governments Japanese, French or American about the affected population.

And the risk of living to 180 km Garoña? The risk of death consequently be calculated by multiplying the probability of a severe accident at the plant by the consequences of that distance, without elaborating the result is extremely low. But advanced societies we are concerned about small risks, as evidenced by the recent law banning smoking in bars. Calibrate the tolerable level of each risk is a complex issue, but we must agree that closures and prohibit them run knowing that none of them are risk free because there is zero risk.

Posterior Prolapse Discs

Among

how much is being written these days about nuclear accidents I find much misinformed tabloid material and some articles with more technical detail than is useful for many people. After the previous article, I decided to write some notes on an intermediate level, avoiding details and numerical values. To see how I get.

From a normal operational nuclear power plant considered an initiating event: a breakdown, breakdown, etc. Start an accident. The aim of the operation in the management of the accident is to maintain the integrity of the barriers that close the nuclear fuel is more radioactive material is in the plant. Key to this is there to keep the core cooled. The core produces heat, and if it is not disposed of at the same rate as the temperature rises. This phase of the operation is very Procedures, the operations to be performed are determined by the readings of different instruments to collect data on the plant.

There are a series of postulated accidents, scenarios that are considered the worst thing that can happen in a plausible (albeit very unlikely), and emergency operating procedures are central to a secure long-term situation in all cases. In these scenarios it is assumed that the operator has a certain amount of support systems available to the plant, pumps, valves, pipes, motors, etc. That amount could be estimated at the half of which is the normal operating plant.

In Fukushima earthquake and tsunami have had to disable too many support systems, and has not provided the technical capacity to mitigate the initiating events.

If the management of accident is not successful in this first phase the nucleus is damaged. From that time called "severe accident." By producing more heat than it is evacuated its temperature rises steadily reaching its melting point. Both the nuclear fuel rods in which content will start to deform and finally merge. This situation has been analyzed theoretically and by simulation computer many times, but in reality has happened three times: at Three Mile Island (1975), where the core damage was quite limited, Chernobyl (1986), where the core is completely melted and Fukushima, where it is safe damage to the core but do not yet know the extent of it (not over and will not be the same in each reactor of the 4 that there are problems).

severe accident management I know much less than the previous phase, but to pursue the same goal: to keep the radioactive material contained everything possible. At this stage the available systems will be less than before and there will be areas of central operations contaminated difficult manuals. The decisions you make are no longer Procedures and the imagination of engineers comes into play more directly.

fuel rods must always be submerged in water, this is the minimum requirement for cooling. If you are in the air for some time, even partially, there are two sources of explosion. On one hand the material surrounding the fuel is decomposed to produce hydrogen, which will accumulate in the highlands and, mixed with oxygen in the air, can explode. On the other hand, fuel-air temperatures reach very high, and if you add water on them suddenly, the sudden evaporation produces a vapor explosion can be as destructive as those of hydrogen. Needless to say that these explosions will jeopardize, if not destroy, the structures that contain nuclear fuel, radioactive products released into the environment which we should avoid to the maximum.

At about this point is where Fukushima at this time. To further evaluate what is happening is very detailed, not enough data are available. It is not the same as the "injury" in a structure are a few cracks that its virtual disappearance. It is not the same as the kernel is based entirely or is deformed but almost solid.
news
If we see there is talk of more. There are additional problems, no doubt. Next to the reactor building is situated a swimming pool where spent fuel is stored in previous years for the plant. This pool also has to be kept filled and chilled (although the heat is greatly less than evacuate in the case of the kernel). If not cooled too overheated, boiled water and can damage the spent fuel, releasing radioactive material abroad. In comparison with the case of the nucleus, the amount of radiation is much smaller (and different type, make other isotopes).

From this point we should shift the focus to the environment of the plant. The plant is a source of variable intensity radioactive material (and currently quite low, thankfully), and it will be for a long period of time. (Continued)

When Your Vision Looks Like A Kaleidoscope

few days ago appeared in the world press that a small Serbian seven years, Bogdan, had the uncanny ability to magnetically attract a few things. Your photo with the body full of spoons and some videos with impact caused by among some gullible. It is said that science had no explanation for such a particular phenomenon and Bogdan, a rechonchito with cool face, had the same quality from their earliest childhood. Even it is assumed that electrical suffer when the "child" magnetic approaches.

As in the ship did not believe any nonsense to us, we go where Benjamin Radford, editor of Skeptical Inquirer and author of numerous books including "Media Mythmakers" and "Tracking the chupacabras", that he and experience tell us what the hell happened with Bogdan. Radford kindly agreed and some of his statements were published in the Journal Latest News on Friday, February 25 .

"Little Bogdan is only the latest in a long list of people who say they have this ability. I've seen dozens of people like this, but almost none have been tested scientifically, "said Radford part. "The key to understanding this phenomenon lies in magnetism or some kind of mystical ability, but in the physics of friction. The skin is very elastic and tends to fit the shape of objects with which it comes into contact. This is especially evident on hot days when the skin sticks to leather or plastic. Sometimes the skin may appear adhesive for the same reasons, "added the specialist.

- What magnetism?

"This has nothing to do with magnetism. In fact, that non-magnetic material or non-ferrous as the dishes from sticking to the skin is proof. What they have in common metals, glass and plastics? All of them have smooth surfaces.

- So?

-The so-called "magnetic people" has a few characteristics in common. First, they have little hairs on their body. This is important because any hair that comes between the skin and the object will reduce friction. Second, magnetic people in the photos and videos tend to lean slightly backward, or remain more or less perpendicular to the ground. If there really some sort magnetism that will force the objects to get stuck in the body, the person should be able to bend.

-Bogdan appears without shirt. Why?

"Funny, but if the reason that the objects stick to the skin is not simple magnetism and friction of the skin, there is no reason to just stick to bare skin. The magnetic attraction also works through a role, and if the magnetism is as strong as they say, the magnetic person should be able to do the trick as well on the shirt.

- What is the mystery here?

"There is no secret or mystery, anyone who has seen a child with a spoon stuck in the nose has seen this phenomenon. "These people are cheating to find care or really believes in his powers? They actually think they have these special skills. Have to prove what I say is simple: at home, you apply a light coat of oil on the skin and see how things stick in it.

Evolution of the nuclear accident nuclear accident 7 ideas

This morning has been an explosion in Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant. All Japanese nuclear plants have been seriously affected by yesterday's earthquake. Many things are being published, most inaccurate. It is not easy to know exactly what is happening, they probably would not have enough information (or analysis capability) to know of so imminent. Yet there are some things worthy of comment to see what we can expect and what the point of no return. In the 3 years I worked at Westinghouse Spain, one of the things we did was simulated nuclear accident with a very good simulator. See if the following lines I can summarize the main ideas of the case, by way of headlines:

1 .- Nuclear plants never produce "nuclear explosions" as the atomic bomb. For the construction itself never achieved the conditions for this situation.

2 .- When the integrity of the core remains, that is not blown, we are at a level of accident while it may free up a lot of radiation to the outside and be severe, is controllable and will be corrected in the medium term.

3 .- If the core melts category change. This is what is called a "severe accident", and the ability to manage the situation will be much more limited, even in the long term. The release of radioactivity to the outside is inevitable, large and durable.

4 .- At the beginning of the accident chain reaction ceases. The concern from there is the residual heat. Spent fuel is highly radioactive, is naturally fissile generaldo hundreds of MW (megawatts). Management accident has to focus on core cooling, evacuating the residual heat to prevent hot enough to melt.

5 .- In addition to cooling the core is to maintain the integrity of the barriers that keep radioactive material contained. This is already very variable depending on the type of plant, there are both barriers and strategies for their maintenance. In any case, if the core melts lost the main barrier contains spent fuel, which is the most radioactive of all.

6 .- there are still no precise diagnosis of what it occur, it operates according to some "emergency operating procedures" that will indicate what needs to be done algorithmically, based on measurable symptoms in indications of safety instrumentation. These procedures were generated from the accident at Three Thousand Island, and is to refine and verify that there have been thousands of simulations of accidents.

7 .- If the core melts, mass produce nuclear fuel and other materials (rods, part of the vessel) paste, which produces its own heat which specialists call "corium" and we can see as lava volcano, just not cools, produces its porpio heat. The only case that occurred at Chernobyl really was, and still there medioenterrado a "sarcífago" cement.

information I get from Japan will not let you know how close the possible occurrence of a meltdown. Somewhere I read that many hours have been a total loss of electrical power (diesel or even batteries). If this were so, it certainly could have approached this situation. But neither the official notes of the company or other sources guarantee that end. Moreover, the explosion may have occurred in an auxiliary building and not in the reactor ... Let's wait. In any case, radioactivity in the environment will be safe, like smoke in the vicinity of the refineries that are burning. Is the extent we can not calibrate.

The source more "serious" I'm following is THIS , which they say is well proven and technically sound ... but little change is updated. Between an update and another on Twitter and have read several atomic bombs.

DISCLAIMER: Throughout the text "fusion" refers to change of state, to liquefaction. In any case nuclear fusion. As if there was any doubt.

The status of the Nobel Prize PDI

I leave a meeting where union representatives tell us about their position in negotiating the "statute of PDI, a document which seek to collect the rights and duties of university teachers.

Last night I had the opportunity to attend live event , a little media, in which three gurus of science (so called today Diario de Navarra ) ramble on a bit about where we are today and where we might go with nanotechnology. There were also interesting drifts on the social responsibility of researchers (subject of concern for the Nobel Prize Harold Kroto) on the social role of science or the ridiculousness of unscientific teaching issues (such as creationism or intelligent design USA). Scientifically not entered into almost any detail, but it was very entertaining. With a sympathetic tone, very in tune with the public and answer them without losing rigor motley questions or interest.

The clash between the two views was too much for me. Will be true about the multiverse and both events have taken place in parallel universes.

From a trade union view is good teaching career split (and officials) in 6 stages, having to "consider" in all cases. These reviews should include every conceivable aspect to which it may legitimately give a teacher, and be considered algorithmically, even to the self. We must greatly facilitate internal promotion, and hinder mobility, both between universities and between them and the company ("the end of the civil servants are" sic). So it is assumed that others are called inbreeding since the public has asked that what they are for the entrance examinations if you are already enabled. Anyway, now I understand and share much more J. article Adolfo de Azcarraga in El Pais few days ago. In fact I'm tempted to join the signatories (over 1600 now) of manifesto against the status of PDI , if it were not I am radically opposed to the motions of censure purely destructive; gladly sign an alternative text, but of course for that you need to write first.

By definition faculty are scientists, each discipline (although one of them is a little confusing the term). I can not imagine how the application of a statute like the one intended (or any other document that shares the same "values") could lead to people like the speakers last night. That vision misunderstood union protects mediocrity (which in itself is not bad) by way of attack and discourage excellence. In this way we will not award Kroto Nobel as Harld out of our universities, let alone being hired after receiving the award.

Incidentally, it should care very little even to our academic authorities, because no one appeared at the public yesterday, or any other, nor the summary of press UPNA relevant that a Nobel Prize visit our university ... Where will your priorities our current leaders?

The hum of fluorescent Calculate

In my office at the University of lighting consists of fluorescent tubes. A few months ago broke a and changed, so badly that buzzes a bit. When you're talking to alguine barely noticeable, but in silence is very disturbing. Sitting in the chair, if I move to the left or right increases or decreases the buzz almost canceled. Is that possible or is an illusion of some sort? I have no good pictures of the scene, but I have taken steps, and come to be those shown in the figure below. The fluorescent tube is about five feet above my head, right there is a wall a meter, and the maximum difference in sound (from maximum to minimum) occurs when I move horizontally about 30 cm. The latter is what it purports to represent in the scheme with two ears.

Suppose that the sound reaches my ears in two ways, first straight line, and another bouncing off the wall on the right. Then the two waves "interfere" in the point where they are maximum and minimum will be canceled, while where there are two peaks will be double the sound intensity. Just the topic of wave interference, as we cited in the previous entry (especially to illustrate that is not the same understanding that compute ).

I have fun in doing the exercise in trigonometry that calculating the paths of sound waves. The difference between the vertical path and bounced off the wall are 210 cm, while in the case of displaced orja 30 cm, the difference between direct and reflected path is 36.2 cm.

To finish we need to check the matter a fact, the frequency of tinnitus. The electric current to power the fluorescent, as any European power network, is alternating current at 50Hz. The sound is likely due to magnetizing current to any part that moves against another right at the same frequency, 50 Hz is also reasonable because it is an audible hum (the human ear from 20 to 20,000 Hz) quite serious. Almost all electrical appliances that make it hum at 50 Hz

If the sound is moving at 340 m / s in a cycle network (such that there are 50 in each second, which is what the 50-Hz) travel 340/50 = 6.8 m. So a full wave, one wavelength is 6.8 m. Between the maximum and zero crossing is a quarter wavelength, thus 170 cm.

do not know if my attempt to explain the thing saving drawings and formulas will have been even more confusing, but the end result is that it is consistent, that a shift in the ear of 30 cm is compatible with a range of 1 / 4 wavelength, a clearly audible difference.

Although everybody wave interference, a priori does not seem easy to find in everyday life, is that we find in the hum of electrical appliances when heard under certain conditions (not so rare).

Why Does Your Body Ache After You Drink

not is to understand

Leo a tweet today in which a student is glad to have read a popular book before starting with the issue in his career (of Physics). A couple of weeks I consulted a high school student did not understand the topic of wave interference. His notes began, "are two waves of the same frequency and amplitude and same phase." Perhaps the waves of different frequencies do not interfere? Could put many examples the same phenomenon: the illusion figure, regardless of whether they really understand the phenomenon that one calculates. A problem affecting the teaching of science (at least in physics). Well, I find a problem, may come from any conception of teaching that propagates only from the ability to formulate mathematically a phenomenon and operate with ease this representation is called the phenomenon. If there is disagree with it.

In my opinion there are three steps well separated that there would never be forgotten: (i) The natural phenomenon, (ii) the model is the phenomenon and (iii) the mathematical formulation model (and subsequent calculations.)

The real question before was, I was the student the "waves of different frequencies interfere? The answer is that yes, of course interfere, but it is much more difficult to calculate the formula that gives the amplitude of the wave at every point and instant. Well, that answer is not clearly gave his teacher, confusing the calculation with the phenomenon (at that time at least, probably in another context clearly understood the difference.) The class of the fascinating subject (to my truth that I find beautiful) interference of waves was limited to "prove" the formula of interference in one dimension the case of same frequency and same amplitude. From there to do a couple of academic problems, which can be done with a formula as a particular case. How will generate scientific vocations to the teaching approach? Today is especially bloody, because there is no need to mount complex experiments to enjoy the events, you can find all events in the network.

Indeed, the topic of wave interference seemed very instructive the following video, in less than 4 minutes presents the experimental system, the basic phenomenon and its statistics in a range of situations (well over which can be easily calculated).

My baby

My baby was born last February 8, thank you very much to all who have been outstanding, I am very happy and in love with my child, surely this new phase of my life changes that will generate reflected in everything I do and it will be for good. Now I have to learn many things, and in these two weeks I lived with my son I learned that you read more things to prepare for maternity and baby's arrival, there is always more important than is necessary, which is the instinct and the day to day, and although it is important to inform you, one's experiences are something that will make you grow as a mom.

Selectivity and the myth of demotion

is a commonplace that the phrase "ever come poorly prepared" in the mouths of any university professor (also applies to any other educational level).

It is surprising, therefore, that the pass rate on the selectivity has not stopped increasing. Because there who think that the selectivity "puts the government" or any boutade like that, but the selectivity puts the university. There is a coordinator appointed by the Rector, all court presidents are Professors University and correcting exams are also university professors.

Come on, that the same group that makes and corrects tests, complains bitterly about the outcome. Let everyone think that if believed to be wrong. (The fundamental question we leave for another day).

The graph is this article from El Pais , although the digital version is not.

Anticipating the e-learning

Ma yesterday a friend sent a link to this file . Part of a collection of French postcards from 1910 in which it is a prospective chart what the world in 2000. Almost all are great, because are correct in essence (though not in appearance).

This has to do with what we know today as e-learning, and masterfully takes the main elements that have to walk around, namely
- The role of students, passive
- The role of books text, a key vehicle of content and instruction
- The teacher as content provider
- The inability of technology to alter
models - to the "fellow" giving the handle is easy to recognize ...

This picture is worth a thousand words.

is not a composition, is a real owner appeared in the press . As is so specialized, that is capable of economic data with 16 significant digits.

Although this event could be classified under the category of "errors" and downplay it, to me it hurts me especially because I spend hours with this issue, whatever their subject. I know that you put a ratio of two numbers (wise) on a calculator and I go many places. The calculator does not have common sense and do strictly what you want, but its user whether to have it and know how many of those decimals sense ... Oh, wait how many make sense?

From a strictly statistical standpoint, if you know the uncertainty of the data to divide, it is trivial to know how many decimal ratio are, but how accurately you know the details of "the economy"? Eye, according to the minister that's what I fell in the third quarter with much precision.

HCE, I read the data 0.3 + - 0.4 and I was very surprised. It was the consensus of IPCC in 1991 on global warming (in degrees Celsius per decade). These scientists were aware of their ignorance, and that awareness of one's ignorance that gives value to the claims made.

sent me a link came where these pots made of beaten cans and painted in pastel colors, I find it very funny idea, and since we're almost coming in spring is a good project decorative and super simple, I put the link here to do: Family Chic, a blog I just discovered and is pretty good, has many projects very nice hand, so I recommend it.

Pain In Lower Stomach And Weeing All The Time

precise act as if it were

time ago I attended a training course on persons with disabilities. Attendees wanted to know more about the world of disability to better deal with these people, either when they are found as well as fellow customers (or users). Among the different types of people you could be of particular interest were those suffering from mental illness. After some talking, and no one put it in this way (perhaps not even understand exactly how) came to my head that somehow you need to know if the guy is touching noses protesting too much deserves special treatment because she is disabled or if you can be treated as he deserves and answer angrily.

is a curious view, which I think we all participate in some way. If the front has "diagnosed" my pride and dignity are not professional game, and although not properly treated me, I do try to fix it (mixed, that if, with another point of superiority and condescension.) However, if no "diagnosis" there is no justification for inadequate treatment and is responding corresponding energy.

we've got tired of saying that disability is no intrinsic quality (hence the insistence on the term "person"). All suffer from disabilities to a greater or lesser degree, at a time or other. If I have an arm in plaster (or even more transient: I have a baby in arms) I have a temporary physical disability, no doubt, and also easy to understand for whom I have before. Likewise we can understand that when a person acts inappropriately (offensive, derogatory, absent) at a given time has a mental illness transient. Perhaps it is as transient as the example of the baby and in minutes is spare, perhaps in the case of plaster and cost you weeks, or perhaps will last the rest of his life. If my relationship with that person is professional and short (he runs a "window" or similar) to see it that way should be sufficient, it is treated properly and ready.

I remembered the whole thing on the subject of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), talking with friends about the difficulty of diagnosing it. To what extent is a "child moved" or "sick of ADHD? How well is it diagnosed? We can apply this case the same reasoning as above: we act as we do, to a greater or lesser degree, more or less transient. All part of the performance "Psychosocial" will be quite sure: make a special case, using well thought out strategies for these children, to provide training on these specific guidelines around treatment, etc. Much less clear is the issue of whether to treat with drugs to any "child moved." But if it is not clear, probably best not to use this medication, leave it for very, very clear cases. Incidentally, my grandfather gave me health "luminaletas" and even "distovagales" in my childhood when I was too moved, as I have heard, come on, that particular fear of side effects of these things. In any case, no treatment is the same point, that I mentioned in the previous paragraph, about mental illness "transitional," which continued treatment as a teacher with students, where the effort to "diagnose" the best is necessary.

news brief but forceful have to share in these summer days. First, in issue 245 of The Skeptical Digital (December 2010) appears an article on The Ship of Fools , explaining why and what we have come to turn us around here. Second, the blog Mihterioh of Siensia , our dear friend Richard Campo, says the number 37 of the vessel with special emphasis on the skeptical nature of the publication, in addition to relieving the quality of its articles. And finally, number 33 of The Skeptic includes a brief report outlining the development of our ship last year, leaving us with a taste Españolísimo. If these arguments have not convinced how important it is for his life he purchased the boat, then we do not know how the hell to convince him.
