Automatic discovery of natural laws from experimental data

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:58:44 +0000

From the paper Michael Schmidt, Hod Lipson, “Distilling Free-Form Natural Laws from Experimental Data,” Science 324: 81-85, 3 April 2009 . The authors have demonstrated the discovery of physical laws, from scratch, directly from experimentally captured data with the use of a computational search. We used the presented approach to detect nonlinear energy conservation laws, Newtonian force laws, geometric invariants, and system manifolds in various synthetic and physically implemented systems without prior knowledge about physics, kinematics, or geometry. The concise analytical expressions that we found are amenable to human interpretation and help to reveal the physics underlying the observed phenomenon. Many applications exist for this approach, in fields ranging from systems biology to cosmology, where theoretical gaps exist despite abundance in data. Might this process diminish the role of future scientists? Quite the contrary: Scientists may use processes such as this to help focus on interesting phenomena more rapidly and to interpret their meaning.

www.megalithomania.co.uk – Filmed at the Megalithomania Conference in Glastonbury on 8th May 2010 by Nautilus AV Productions. Description: Francine will share her latest findings on the connections between the modern crop circle phenomena and ancient rock carvings from the Neolithic era. She will explore the meaning conveyed by the sacred geometry, advanced mathematics and ancient symbology in crop circles and how these symbols are connected with the megalithic cultures of Wessex, Brittany and other parts of the world over five thousand years ago. Biog: Born in Montreal, Canada, Francine Blake majored in Classical Studies at college and studied Fine Art at l’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Montreal. She has always sought knowledge, and spent twenty years studying ancient wisdom in a school of self-development brought to the West in 1917 by George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. Introduced to crop circles in 1987, Francine was immediately attracted to them, recognizing many of the symbols she had been studying. She joined the Centre for Crop Circle Studies (CCCS) in 1991, and in 1992 moved to Wiltshire with her family to be closer to the phenomenon. In 1995, she started the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group (WCCSG), where she was elected coordinator, a post she still occupies. She edits The Spiral, the monthly newsletter for the WCCSG, and designs and produces an annual Crop Circle Calendar. She lectures extensively and has given many interviews on radio and television.

Gas explosions: A new way to study phantom traffic jams

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:58:40 +0000

A University of Alberta researcher has devised a new theoretical approach to studying phantom traffic jams. Normally a traffic tie-up happens when vehicles reach a bottleneck and traffic flow is reduced, or in the case of an accident, halted completely. Phantom traffic jams are created by something as simple as a single driver tapping lightly on the brakes inadvertently starting a chain reaction of over-braking by drivers in the following vehicles. Eventually a long line of traffic comes to a complete stop. On major freeways in North America, phantom traffic jams can involve hundreds of vehicles and can snarl traffic for hours.

Ah, genetics. Besides certain physical characteristics, men of the Gosling family have also passed along strong personality traits. Most noticeably, bullheadedness. With a world begging for more of their rare Bermuda rums, they have obstinately refused to accelerate the secret family process in the interest of mere volume. Which is why you’ll find this the most complex, refined family of rums you have ever sipped. Presuming, that is, you can find it. As one of the members of the seventh generation to steer the Bermudian family business since its 1806 inception, Nancy Lloyd Gosling is President and CEO of Gosling Brothers Limited and Gosling’s Limited. Nancy is the innovator and driving force behind the company’s local expansion in the wine, beer and spirits business. Before her appointment as the company’s first female President and CEO, Nancy received a Bachelor of Commerce from Dalhousie University and later a CGA title. Nancy is the mother of two children. Charles Richard Gosling is Vice President and Managing Director of Gosling Brothers Limited and Gosling’s Limited. Grandson of Ambrose Tucker Gosling, Charles is responsible for the company’s local marketing initiative and Bermuda Duty Free Limited, a subsidiary of Gosling Brothers Limited that includes the island’s two duty free stores located at Bermuda International Airport.

Stephen Meyer on ‘Coast to Coast AM’ (11 of 12)

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:54:13 +0000

A former geophysicist and college professor, Stephen C. Meyer argued for the existence of intelligent design (ID) based upon DNA, and scientific evidence from such fields as biology, physics, chemistry, and cosmology. These new discoveries have outstripped the Darwinian approach, which never addressed where first life came from, he said. The earliest cellular life that emerged 3.8 billion years ago, such as blue-green algae, wasn’t simple at all according to molecular biology research. Rather, such cell life was a highly complex “factory” run on a DNA code that was akin to advanced technology, he detailed, and this DNA reflects the purposeful design of an intelligent force. We don’t necessarily need religion in the picture to conclude that ID is in effect, he said, but of the two theories of who the designer is– extraterrestrials or a God being, Meyer favors the latter explanation. Evidence of design is in the very fabric of the universe itself, he commented. Materialism is the view that everything in the universe can ultimately be explained in physical terms, yet matter is a bad candidate to be primordial reality, Meyer stated. Biological systems contain intricate informational structures and their origin cannot be explained by just physical forces, he said.

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:49:01 +0000

THIS IS A ‘NILE VALLEY MOVEMENT’ (NVM) / ‘MAAT HOTEP’ RECORDS Production: Please give credit when reposting….djef djef (thank you). The Ancient Egyptians Were Black. See Them With Your Own Eyes and Hear What They Have to Say. Most people are unaware that authentic images of the Ancient Egyptians, who were black people, are kept hidden away in private collections throughout the world; see many here for the first time. This is the second (2nd) episode in ‘The Ancient Egyptians Were Balck’ series. More to come. This series was made in response to the onslaught of white & arab racist, outdated, disproven and false assertions that the Ancient Egyptians were white, arab or ‘Afro-Asiatic’ (whatever that is). Those assertions are nothing more than efforts and attempts to deprive Africa and it’s Black peoples of their cultural legacy and their supreme contribution to the world…..that of CIVILIZATION itself!!! Reading, writing, mathematics, science, medicine, architecture, law, ‘deep-thought’, religion, resurrection theology, astronomy, geodetics, maritime sciences, mortuary sciences are just few of the things that have their birthplace found in this ancient African civilization, a civiliztion produced by the minds, Spirits and Souls of the black peoples of that continent. This is solely their accomplishment alone, and should be rendered as such. The fact that the non-black world could not claim this creation for themselves is the very reason that these black peoples (the …

“Mathematics that Swings: the Math Behind Golf” by Dr. Douglas N. Arnold

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:48:38 +0000

Mathematics is everywhere, and the golf course is no exception. Many aspects of the game of golf can be illuminated or improved through mathematical modeling and analysis. Dr. Arnold discusses a few examples, employing mathematics ranging from simple high school algebra to computational techniques at the frontiers of contemporary research. Dr. Douglas N. Arnold is the McKnight Presidential Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. He is a research mathematician and educator with a strong interest in mathematics in interdisciplinary research and in the public understanding of the role of mathematics. For 2009 and 2010, Prof. Arnold serves as the President of SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

C3W – Interview with Aran Lunzer : DigInfo

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:46:58 +0000

DigInfo – movie.diginfo.tv C3W, or Clip, Connect and Clone for the Web is a form of a web mash up system as Dr. Anan Lunzer of the Meme Media Laboratory of Hokkaido University explains Professor Yuzuru Tanaka has been working on meme Media Technology for nearly 20 years and C3W is the result of applying this technology to the web. The basic idea is that by using C3W users can build their own information access interfaces that draw together elements of many existing web applications. The c3w browser lets us clip the region of any single HTML tag within a web page, then place it onto a substrate called a C3 sheet. We then submit a sample inquiry to the web application, and from the delivered result pages, we clip whichever aspects of the results which are of interest. The input and result elements that have been clipped continue to work as they did within their web pages by performing the appropriate web site navigation behind the scenes. Cells on the C3 sheet corresponding to elements clipped from the web applications, can be connected using spreadsheet style formulas. This allows results from one or more applications to be fed to the inputs of another application, without this automation, the user would have to do lots of copying and pasting as we normally do when using a web browser. If format conversion of the results is needed along the way, this could be included within the formula, and of course, the formula can also call on custom procedures written in the …

The FBI Academy, located in Quantico, Virginia, is the training grounds for new Special Agents of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was first opened for use in 1972 on 385 acres (1.6 km²) of woodland. It is a relatively small government academy, housing three dormitory buildings and associated facilities. Federal law enforcement officers from the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration undergo training courses here. FBI agents currently have a 22-week long training course. The main training complex has three dormitory buildings, a dining hall, library, a classroom building, a Forensic Science Research and Training Center, a 1000-seat auditorium, a chapel, administrative offices, a large gymnasium and outside track, along with a fully equipped garage. In addition to the main complex, there is a mock city known as Hogan’s Alley, which consists of facades replicating a small town. The Hogan’s Alley facades are primarily used for FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration New Agent Training, while behind the facades are fully functioning classrooms, audio-visual facilities, storage areas, and administrative and maintenance offices. Just beyond Hogan’s Alley is a 1.1 mile pursuit/defensive driving training track. The extensive firearms training provided to all FBI/DEA and other law enforcement officers is conducted at the indoor firing range, the eight outdoor firing ranges, four skeet ranges, or the 200-yard rifle range.

FTF Films: Crossover Crop Circles pt.1/2

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:49:42 +0000

There are many unknown factors to the crop circle phenomenon and under such circumstances it is best to stick to facts. Crop circles are happening in our reality here and now, and as the designs are imprinted in real fields in the countryside, they can be visited and studied at close hand. The Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group (WCCSG), is such called because it is located in the county of Wiltshire in the UK, the most active area for crop circles in the world. The Group was established in 1995 to study the crop circle phenomenon in all its aspects: – Physical (scientific evidence – the physical effects on plants and soil) – Metaphysical (the meaning encoded in their symbolic designs) – Spiritual (their transformative effect) and to disseminate the information to the greater public. For this purpose the Group supports scientific research, collects data in the form of photographs, diagrams and Study Papers and publishes The Spiral, a bi-monthly newsletter.

Glycospectrumscan: an Intelligent Program to Help Find New Biomarkers of Disease

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:46:41 +0000

Aberrant changes to the sugars attached to proteins have been associated with cancer, congenital disorders, osteoarthritis, drug resistance and infectious diseases. The study of changes in these sugars, glycoproteomics, is a challenging analytical problem because of the complexity and heterogeneity of sugar structures and protein attachment sites. We have developed a bioinformatic tool, GlycoSpectrumScan, which helps the researcher find the sugar differences from experimental datasets obtained by mass spectrometric analysis. The tool, with its highly flexible and user friendly interface, drastically reduces the computational efforts by glycobiologists and substantially reduces the data analysis time, speeding the rate of discovery of new sugar biomarkers of disease.

But who is Eric S. Raymond — generally identified as ESR? “I wonder that myself, sometimes. I’m a long-time hacker, active in the Internet culture since the 1970s, who got unexpectedly famous in the late 1990s….. it took me twenty years to become an overnight sensation. I either founded or re-invented (depending on who you ask, and how some history is interpreted; I prefer ‘re-invented’, myself) the Open Source Movement. ….Today I’m one of the half-dozen or so most influential people in that movement; in fact, a lot of people would put me among the top three, with Linus Torvalds and Richard M. Stallman. The community has a tradition of tri-letterizing its heroes — I suppose that began with Stallman, already a hero when I was a fledgling programmer in the early 1980s, who was generally known as RMS even then….I think I started to be routinely triletterized into ‘ESR’ around 1998 on Slashdot; that was a few months after the fame thing started to kick in seriously. It’s at best a mixed blessing. Fame is tactically useful, but the pressures and expectations that go with it can be nasty stuff. If you want to learn more about me, browsing through my essays would be a good place to start.” Interviewed by Marc Chase

March 6, 1998 www.amazon.com Watch the full program: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 to Dr. Frank Hawking, a research biologist, and Isobel Hawking. He had two younger sisters, Philippa and Mary, and an adopted brother, Edward. Though Hawking’s parents were living in North London, they moved to Oxford while his mother was pregnant with Stephen, desiring a safer location for the birth of their first child. (London was under attack at the time by the Luftwaffe.) According to Hawking, a German V-2 missile struck only a few streets away. After Hawking was born, the family moved back to London, where his father headed the division of parasitology at the National Institute for Medical Research. In 1950, Hawking and his family moved to St Albans, Hertfordshire, where he attended St Albans High School for Girls from 1950 to 1953. (At that time, boys could attend the Girls school until the age of ten.) From the age of eleven, he attended St Albans School, where he was a good, but not exceptional, student. When asked later to name a teacher who had inspired him, Hawking named his mathematics teacher Dikran Tahta. He maintains his connection with the school, giving his name to one of the four houses and to an extracurricular science lecture series. He has visited it to deliver one of the lectures and has also granted a lengthy interview to pupils working on the school magazine, The Albanian. Hawking was always interested in science. Inspired …

Neuropsychology (II) Dr. Paul Broks

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:53:14 +0000

Paul Broks trained as a clinical psychologist at Oxford University and went on to specialize in neuropsychology. He has pursued a career combining both clinical practice and basic research. What book has influenced you most? Explain how. I read René Descartes’ A Discourse on Method and Meditations in my student days. The experience has never left me. It was the Penguin Classics edition with Frans Hals’s portrait of the great 17th-century philosopher staring out from the front cover. Reading the Meditations felt like dissolving into those heavy-lidded eyes and into his thought processes. Descartes’ erroneous but fatally beguiling division of mind and matter has become ingrained in our way of thinking, and the apparent irreconcilability of subjective and objective points of view remains one of the great conundrums in the science of mind. VS Ramachandran’s The Emerging Mind, based on his recent BBC Reith Lectures, is a lucid and engaging tour of some of the most enticing territories of cognitive neuroscience. Ian Glynn’s An Anatomy of Thought: The Origin and Machinery of the Mind is a brilliant general introduction to brain science. Paul Broks including but not limited to development of cognitive processes, brain-behavior relationships, adult and child neuropsychology, disorders of speech and language, and very importantly the interface of neuropsychology with related areas, such as cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry.

Calculus: L’Hopital’s Rule, Indeterminate Products

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:52:33 +0000

www.mindbites.com Some indeterminate forms, including indeterminate products, must be manipulated before L’Hôpital’s Rule can be applied. In order to do this, try expressing one of the factors as a fraction (so you can recognize things like (0 * infinity) or (theta * cotangent of theta) as an indeterminate form given that they are actually indeterminate products rather than the easily recognizable 0/0 or infinity/infinity). Once recognized as an indeterminate form, you will learn how to manipulate these camouflaged indeterminate forms in such a way that they can have L’Hôpital’s rule applied to them. In this lesson, you will learn how to recognize these limits with indeterminate forms as well as how to handle limits with negative exponents and limits with trigonometric expressions. Taught by Professor Edward Burger, this lesson was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, College Algebra. This course and others are available from Thinkwell, Inc.
