THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL [SLIDE DECK] NUI Maynooth>Communcations>Press Release>Higgs Bosen. Four generations of the Higgs Boson More than 400 people, including 100 secondary school students, packed the JH1 auditorium at NUI Maynooth on Friday May 3rd to hear Professor Peter Higgs and his colleagues talk about the Higgs Boson and its discovery.
Peter Higgs, of Edinburgh University, predicted the existence of this particle in 1964, and its discovery at CERN last year provided the final piece of experimental confirmation for our theory of the fundamental constituents of matter, known as the "Standard Model".

(Phys.org) —The International Space Station has decided to switch dozens of laptops running Windows XP over to Debian.
What Linux fans have been saying for years—that Linux delivers greater stability and reliability for public and private computing environments—resonated with Keith Chuvala, the United Space Alliance contractor manager involved in the switch. The change at the International Space Station is all about the replacement of dozens of laptops with XP being switched over to Debian 6. Chuvala said, "We needed an operating system that was stable and reliable – one that would give us in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust or adapt, we could. " Although Linux machines, like Windows, are not malware-proof, the fact that Linux is an open source operating system means that a community overseeing a Linux distribution can issue quick notices and quick patches.
Chuvala and NASA selected Debian, a system that uses Linux or the FreeBSD kernel. Hints of lightweight dark matter get even stronger - space - 10 May 2013. A strange light is shining near the centre of the Milky Way, and evidence is mounting that it is the spark of lightweight dark matter meeting a violent end.
At the same time, a suite of sensitive detectors deep underground is seeing hints of similar particles. Dark matter is thought to make up roughly 80 per cent of the matter in the universe. One-Fourth of DNA Born by 2.8 Billion Years Ago. Using the genetic equivalent of the Hubble telescope, researchers have peered into the distant past and witnessed an explosion of new genes that happened more than 3 billion years ago.
About 27 percent of all gene families that exist today were born between 3.3 billion and 2.8 billion years ago, two researchers from MIT reported online Dec. 19 in Nature. The surge of gene births — which the scientists have dubbed the Archean expansion — predate some important changes in Earth’s early chemistry, including the appearance of large amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere, say evolutionary biologists Eric Alm and Lawrence David. The study may show how early organisms responded to and helped alter the planet’s chemistry. The “urban advantage” in education. By Marilyn AchironEditor, Directorate for Education and Skills On average across OECD countries, students who attend schools in cities of more than 100 000 people perform better in PISA than students who attend schools in villages, rural areas, or towns with up to 100 000 inhabitants.
This difference in performance translates to about 20 PISA score points – the equivalent of half-a-year of schooling. In many countries and economies, the performance difference between the two groups of students reflects families’ decisions about housing and employment, which, in turn, influence how students’ socio-economic status is distributed geographically. In all countries and economies except for Austria, Belgium, Germany, Israel, Korea, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, students who attend schools in urban settings come from more advantaged socio-economic backgrounds.

They also reject the negative effects of the policies of cuts and they demand a series of changes in the European Union. Tracking nanotechnology. (click to open/close the book)Friday: The images of the ebook Nanoparticles Before Nanotechnology The images, the textures or the fabric to develop the figures [of the new book Nanoparticles Before Nanotechnology], were based in transmission electron microscopy images, mainly onto self assembled monolayers of Cobalt Nanoparticles (also gold and also different oxides).
The 3D design, re-creation of the nanoworld and animation was developed at second life by our collaborators, the collective HaxGrot (Ux Hax, Maria Grot and Romi Nayar in collaboration with Lanjran Choche).

The Importance of Studying the Obvious - Duncan Watts. By Duncan Watts | 12:25 PM June 25, 2012 When Congressman Jeff Flake recently proposed eliminating NSF funding for political science research, it marked the third time in the past 6 years that a member of Congress had introduced legislation to cut federal support for some or all of social science. To make his case, Congressman Flake picked out some examples of political science research that had been funded by the NSF and argued that the research in question— $600,000, in one case, to figure out if policymakers actually do what citizens want them to; $200,000 in another to understand why politicians make vague statements — was of little value to society, and therefore not worth the expense to taxpayers.
At first glance, the cost of these projects does seem hard to justify. Write for Us. Thank you for your interest in writing a guest post for us.
