Projects talks to Andreas Jagenbrein about predictive maintenance and what this means for transport safety.

Applied Science: MUZZICALTRIPS Accelerating Future There isn’t enough in the world. Not enough wealth to go around, not enough space in cities, not enough medicine, not enough intelligence or wisdom. Not enough genuine fun or excitement. Not enough knowledge. What we need is more . There is a bare minimum that we should demand out of the future. 1) More space 2) More health 3) More water 4) More time 5) More intelligence First off, we need more space . There is actually a lot of space on this earth.
National Geographic BDP / Antoine Renard Oh Rats! It’s Deceiving! Antoine Renard Following from his research on consumption cycles and cognitive representation, and based on a long interest in narcotics and altered states of reality, Antoine Renard encountered a naturally growing specimen of Datura stramonium in the summer of 2010 – a plant that, through thousands of years of coexistence alongside human activities, has obtained a significant cult status for its various properties.

PLoS Biology : Publishing science, accelerating research A Peer-Reviewed, Open Access Journal Current Issue PLOS Biology is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal featuring research articles of exceptional significance in all areas of biological science, from molecules to ecosystems. HowStuffWorks "Science" Jeden Tag ein Fremdwort, seine Herkunft, Bedeutung und Beispiele Public Library of Science: Open Access The Case for Open Access Open Access (OA) stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse. Here’s why that matters. Most publishers own the rights to the articles in their journals. Although many researchers can access the journals they need via their institution and think that their access is free, in reality it is not. Paying for access to content makes sense in the world of print publishing, where providing content to each new reader requires the production of an additional copy, but online it makes much less sense to charge for content when it is possible to provide access to all readers anywhere in the world. PLOS Takes a Different Approach PLOS applies the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to works we publish. Benefits of Open Access Research Accelerated discovery. Additional OA Resources
PLOS - Open For Discovery Tietysti Kuukauden tutkija Auringon hiukkassade vaikuttaa ilmakehään Akatemiatutkija Annika Seppälä haluaa saada ilmastomalleihin niistä puuttuvan paikallisissa mittakaavoissa oleellisen tiedon – sen, miten Auringosta tulevat hiukkaset vaikuttavat ilmakehän kemialliseen koostumukseen.

Kannattaa tutustua Ikuisesti yhdessä – kaksoishautausten tulkintaa Suomessa hautaustapojen tutkimus on aiemmin keskittynyt pääasiassa polttohautauksen ja ruumishautauksen toisistaan erottamiseen, haudan rakenteisiin sekä hauta-antimien tulkintaan.
