A tour of Concordia research base in Antarctica by glaciologist Albane Barbero.
Concordia lies 3200 m above sea level in the heart of Antarctica. At this altitude on the cold continent, temperatures can drop to -80°C.
Scientists conduct research far from the reaches of civilisation, while ESA sponsors a medical doctor each year to study the effect of isolation on the crew.

Ehasz Giacalone Architects P. C., of Farmingdale, NY, designed the two-story Research Support Building, which features a glass atrium-style lobby connecting two wings of offices covered by a metal panel facade. The Science Laboratory Infrastructure Program of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science funded the total cost of the $12.6 million building.
The Research Support Building tops New York State requirements for energy efficiency by 15 percent, and the structure is considered "green," or environmentally friendly, based on the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, also known as LEED, rating system.

Caught a flue so I’ve been staying inside during the mornings and then exploring in the afternoons. I love Paris so much and it has such a rich artistic history, I feel like every direction I turn I learn something new, surfing the web and the library for information is an absolute pleasure, I feel like a sleuth, rummaging in the closets of the past.

Launched in February 2018, CMBP was originally a technical hub based in Hanoi, Vietnam, shared by 4 partners (CIRAD, CIAT-Asia, AGI and Deakin University).
In January 2019, with more than 10 partners on board, it was evident that CMBP should be more than a technical hub, and a regional network across South East Asia and the Pacific region was created. To-date, the CMBP has welcomed more than 60 partners from 19 countries in the world, and we are proud to count universities, research institutes and private companies as active members of the network.

Researchers at Sandia, the Department of Energy’s Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies and the Aramco Research Center in Boston have found that a form of nanoscale corrosion is responsible for unpredictably decreasing the working life of steel pipes.
Using transmission electron microscopes, which shoot electrons through targets to take pictures, the researchers pinned the root of the problem on a triple junction formed by a grain of cementite — a compound of carbon and iron — and two grains of ferrite, a type of iron. This junction forms frequently during most methods of fashioning steel pipe.
“A better understanding of the mechanisms by which corrosion initiates and progresses at these types of interfaces in steel will be key to mitigating corrosion-related losses,” according to the paper published in Nature’s Materials Degradation journal.

A team of engineers at Vanderbilt’s Center for Intelligent Mechatronics led by Michael Goldfarb, H. Fort Flowers Chair in Mechanical Engineering, has developed a powered exoskeleton that enables people with severe spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Its lightweight, compact size and modular design promise to provide users with an unprecedented degree of independence. The university has several patents pending on the design, and Parker Hannifin Corporation, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has signed an exclusive licensing agreement to develop a commercial version of the device that it plans to introduce in 2014.

Genomic research helps us to understand many different aspects of human or plant biology to develop new products. For instance, in the personalized nutrition space.

I really wonder what reproducible results this "scientific" research has yielded :-)
Some background, not sure how accurate.

More observations on my weblog:
Willy Schneider confined in the mesh cage mentioned in our chapter on scientific research. Through the mesh of the cage we see the chair, on which the medium is seated and on the table next to it a music box, which the medium will cause playing telekinetically. The researchers are again Prof. Gruber and Prof. Hecker (with beard).
Willy Schneider opgesloten in de gazen kooi waarvan sprake is in ons hoofdstuk over het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Door het gaas van de kooi zien we de stoel, waarop het medium is gezeten en op de tafel ernaast staat een muziekdoos, die door het medium telekinetisch aan het spelen wordt gebracht. De onderzoekers zijn weer Prof. Gruber en Prof. Hecker (met baard).

The fitness industry is ever changing. Over the last few years health and fitness trackers have exploded in popularity. But do users that wear fitness trackers tend to become healthier in the long run? Are the trackers a fad that the wearer will lose interest in after a few days, weeks, or months? Fitness is not temporary, it should be a permanent fixture in life: can fitness trackers help with in this aspect?
One key piece of research was conducted by Dr. John Jakicic, from the University of Pittsburgh, looked at just this. at the end of his 24 month study with 470 participants. At the start of the trial all participants were put on low-calorie diets, instructed increase physical activity, and received group-counseling sessions on health and nutrition. After 6 months, half the group was given wearables, the other half continued to have monthly health counseling sessions.
"At the conclusion of a 24-month trial, researchers observed that usage of a wearable device in combination with a behavioral weight loss program resulted in less weight loss when compared to those receiving only the behavioral weight loss program. In fact, participants without physical activity trackers showed nearly twice the weight loss benefits at the end of the 24 months. Participants who utilized wearable devices reported an average weight loss of 7.7 pounds, while those who partook only in health counseling reported an average loss of 13 pounds. "
The study concludes it is not the wearable, but rather the diet and exercise, along with someone keeping the participants on track, that made the difference. Unfortunately putting a three hundred dollar watch on a wrist and pairing that with a smartphone will permanently improve health.
This is not to say that fitness trackers are not useful. Knowing heart rate, and other biometric readings are helpful and can be used to help with staying healthy and remembering to be active.. Constant heart rate monitoring while running can tell the wearer if they are in the correct heart rate range/percentage to be exercising the most efficiently. Wrist bound trackers are adequate in this regard, but not quite as effective as the heart rate monitors worn around the abdomen. Fitness trackers are useful, but they aren’t a cure for laziness. The wearer has to be dedicated to their personal health goal, and then they have to stick with it. For some spending money is the way to self invest, in a gym membership, or in this case the purchase of a fitness tracker as long as the wearer knows that they have to make the change not the wearable.
I know - another Hart's-Tongue Thyme-moss (Plagiomnium undulatum) picture! This one is for Buzz - as he asked what size the moss is.
The petri dish is 9cm in diameter. The individual leaf on the RHS is 7mm x 2mm. One thing to note is that as the moss dries is curls up and goes crispy - re-wet it and it returns to it's former glory.

We sent our Account Manager Charlee Gough out to a shopping centre in Southampton last week to conduct some market research.
We are helping a Chinese retailer enter the UK market and needed an on the ground appraisal of the opportunity and feedback on the potential.
These few photos help to visualise some of our initial findings.
