ASBH Home Page How Much Is the Noise in Your Open Office Costing You? The overwhelming trend in commercial office space toward more open, collaborative areas for employees, with fewer partitioned work spaces and even fewer enclosed offices, appears to be here to stay. But it’s also fairly new, meaning it's worth taking a look at just how functional these wide open work areas are for employees. Does the ability to easily talk, brainstorm and chat with colleagues really lead to a free-flowing exchange of ideas? Possibly. According to one recent study, the answer is a resounding no. Related: Surviving the Open Floor Plan According to research conducted by Jungsoo Kim and Richard de Dear of the Center on the Built Environment at the University of Sydney, the open-office plan that has become so wildly popular these days has its fair share of drawbacks. This begs the question: Is the open-office model worth it? Other studies conducted by psychologists and research organizations have arrived at similar findings. Sound solutions for open-office spaces.
Cell Size and Scale Some cells are visible to the unaided eye The smallest objects that the unaided human eye can see are about 0.1 mm long. That means that under the right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus, a human egg, and a paramecium without using magnification. Smaller cells are easily visible under a light microscope. To see anything smaller than 500 nm, you will need an electron microscope. Adenine The label on the nucleotide is not quite accurate. How can an X chromosome be nearly as big as the head of the sperm cell? No, this isn't a mistake. The X chromosome is shown here in a condensed state, as it would appear in a cell that's going through mitosis. A chromosome is made up of genetic material (one long piece of DNA) wrapped around structural support proteins (histones). Carbon The size of the carbon atom is based on its van der Waals radius.
Effects of 6-10 Hz ELF on Brain Waves Article by David S. Walonick, originally printed in Borderlands (Vol. XLVI, Nos. 3&4, May – August 1990) There is evidence that ELF magnetic waves can affect brain waves. The specific ELF frequencies I was interested in studying are 6-10 Hertz. A question of importance is: “If we can electronically shift the brain wave frequencies to alpha or theta, will a person’s moods or thought patterns change to those commonly associated with those frequencies?”. When I began these experiments, I was well aware of the possible ethical implications involved in ELF research. I decided to undertake this research with full knowledge of the ethical implications. I began by collecting all the available research on ELF fields. Equipment The equipment required for this research was easily attainable, with the notable exception of a stable frequency counter with .01 Hertz resolution. The transducer was a 24″ diameter hand-wound coil, consisting of 1000′ of #25 magnetic wire. Experimental Design Results Summary

Hyperacusis: Evaluation, Diagnosis, and Treatment. - Hyperacusis Information Site Wikispecies - the species directory Core - The Power of Vibrations “In the beginning was the word.” The Big Bang Theory. What do they each express? The vibration of sound … the primordial sound … the power of vibrations … the life force … the vital spark that shows that living entities are more than a simple collection of chemicals … all this and more. In studies thousands of years ago the Hindus in India named these vibrations prana, while the Chinese called it ch’i and created their entire practice of medicine around this vibration of life. The Japanese call this power of vibration the ki. The vibrations of the human energy field are now shown, measured, and photographed by modern scientific instruments to diagnose and treat disease states … witness the use of EKG’s, EMG’s, EEG’s, and X-rays. In the laboratory scientists can use the SQUID or Superconducting Quantum Interface Device to detect the ultra-sensitive magnetic field surrounding the hands of a healer intent on sending healing energy to a recipient.
