Last night was an excellent science program on Absolute Zero. And I
learned two new names
I never heard of before. One was C. Drebbel a 17th century alchemist
who arguably invented
the worlds first air conditioner unit by making the King cool in the
heat of summer.

And then the French physicist G. Amontons. I never heard of him before
and he discovered
a very important concept that zero pressure means zero temperature. So
Amontons had
experimentally discovered Absolute Zero.

Now I am wondering as to what other nations provide for its TV
audiences as far as science is
concerned.

I can vow to the fact that here in the USA, over the free TV channels
that PBS offers about
1 or 2 hours of a science program per week over prime time 6 to 12
midnight. Sometimes if
I am lucky a week might render 3 hours of 3 different science
programs.

Yesterday the NOVA Absolute Zero was followed by a program of
"Spontaneous Human
Combustion" where it showed some examples and then showed some crank
explanation,
and finally forensics made a true science test and debunked the notion
of spontaneous
human combustion since the wick experiment of burning fats and oils of
the body.

But my question is , how much does England or France or German provide
its viewers
with "true science" per week?

Here in the USA, that rate is 2 hours per week which to me seems like
a paltry little.
So I wonder if in France or Germany or England that they are able to
see more than
2 hours per week of good science?

Hello all,
          Normally for filtering large molecular size particles from
the smaller ones, membrane filtration is used. In this unit operation,
a high velocity liquid stream is passed through a membrane having very
small pore size.Membrane remains fixed at its loacation.
Is is possible that instead of fluid membrane will move in the
opposite direction?
Also in this arrangement we can use multiple membranes and can design
a system in which membrane will be replaced, cleaned and again
utillized for the operation in a cyclic order.
I just want to know whether this can be a possible aspect ?

Biostatistician – Head Data Analyst

Seeks a Biostatistician with experience in biomedical sciences. A
background in statistical genetics is desired but not required. The
role of the Biostatistician within the Medical Services Department
would be to analyze data from ongoing clinical trials, to participate
in the design of new clinical trials that test the validity of genetic/
genomic technologies for possible clinical use, and for evaluation of
scientific literature and presentations.

We are a world leader in genome based predictive and personalized
medicine; diagnostic programs are focused on cancer susceptibility,
prognosis and pharmacogenetics.

Duties: The candidate would interact with senior staff and leading
U.S. scientists in the design and interpretation of patient related
genetic research.

Qualifications: PhD in biostatistics or related field is desired or
M.S. in Biostatistics with >7 years experience required.

Experience in statistical genetics and/or genomic analysis is a plus.

Shifting And Rearranging: Physical Methods And the
Transformation of Modern Chemistry
by Carsten Reinhardt

"This book presents Carsten Reinhardt’s view of the
profound transformation of chemistry, especially organic
chemistry, that was effected by the incorporation of
physical methods into the chemists working tool-kit. The
focus is on events that occurred in the time period from
the 1940s to the present day. A treatment of this topic
requires attention not only to the contributions of the
chemical community itself, but also to those of industrial
instrument manufacturers, academic institutions, and
government granting agencies.

[...] For those who want broader coverage, Reinhardt has
provided a carefully chosen set of references to the works
of other historians on other fields of instrumentation."

A short documentary film written and directed by Charles Eames and his
wife. The film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in factors
of ten.

I saw this in elementary school and remain fascinated by the journey.
I wish this film would get remade using today’s technology.

The Elegant Universe was adapted for a three hour program in three
parts for television broadcast in late 2003 on the PBS series NOVA.

http://dream-refuge.blogspot.com/2006/12/nova-elegant-universe.html

Based on Brian Greene’s book, this three-part Nova program should do
for physics what Cosmos did for astronomy. Greene hosts the program on
the relative new concept of String Theory, a potential (and explosive)
answer to the Holy Grail of science: a single, ultimate theory for
everything.

of Pilate only serves to make Jesus Christ suffer;
for he causes Him to be scourged by his false justice, and afterwards puts
Him to death. It would have been better to have put Him to death at once.
Thus it is with the falsely just. They do good and evil works to please the
world, and to show that they are not altogether of Jesus Christ; for they
are ashamed of Him. And at last, under great temptation and on great
occasions, they kill Him.

792. What man ever had more renown? The whole Jewish people foretell Him
before His coming. The Gentile people worship Him after His coming. The two
peoples, Gentile and Jewish, regard Him as their centre.

And yet what man enjoys this renown less? Of thirty-three years, He lives
thirty without appearing. For three years He passes as an impostor; the
priests and the chief people reject Him; His friends and His nearest
relatives despise Him. Finally, He dies, betrayed by one of His own
disciples, denied by another, and abandoned by all.

What part, then, has He in this renown? Never had man so much renown; never
had man more ignominy. All that renown has served only for us, to render us
capable of recognising Him; and He had none of it for Himself.

793. The infinite distance between body and mind is a symbol of the
infinitely more infinite distance between mind and charity; for charity is
supernatural.

All the glory of greatness has no lustre for people who are in search of
understanding.

The greatness of clever men is invisible to kings, to the rich, to chief

herein examine the order of the world and see if all things do not
tend to establish these two chief points of this religion: Jesus Christ is
end of all, and the centre to which all tends. Whoever knows Him knows the
reason of everything.

Those who fall into error err only through failure to see one of these two
things. We can, then, have an excellent knowledge of God without that of our
own wretchedness and of our own wretchedness without that of God. But we
cannot know Jesus Christ without knowing at the same time both God and our
own wretchedness.

Therefore I shall not undertake here to prove by natural reasons either the
existence of God, or the Trinity, or the immortality of the soul, or
anything of that nature; not only because I should not feel myself
sufficiently able to find in nature arguments to convince hardened atheists,
but also because such knowledge without Jesus Christ is useless and barren.
Though a man should be convinced that numerical proportions are immaterial
truths, eternal and dependent on a first truth, in which they subsist and
which is called God, I should not think him far advanced towards his own
salvation.

The God of Christians is not a God who is simply the author of mathematical
truths, or of the order of the elements; that is the view of heathens and
Epicureans. He is not merely a God who exercises His providence over the
life and fortunes of men, to bestow on those who worship Him a long and
happy life. That was the portion of the Jews. But the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Christians, is a God of love and
of comfort, a God who fills the soul and heart of those whom He possesses, a
God who makes them conscious of their inward wretchedness, and His infinite
mercy, who unites Himself to their inmost soul, who fills it with humility
and joy, with confidence and love, who renders them incapable of an
