Spaghetti worms. VolvoxI’m a worm, get me out of here Natural selection of spaghetti worms SummaryAfter acclimatising the local bird population to a new source of food, equal numbers of two different-coloured spaghetti 'worms' are presented to birds.

Spaghetti worms

Each day (or at regular intervals), the remaining 'worms' are allowed to 'breed' and the two colour morphs are replaced in proportion to those which remain. Over time, the proportion of the type of 'worms' that are left uneaten by the birds increases, thereby simulating directional selection. Educational objectivesStudents will learn how to plan, carry out and interpret data from a practical investigation.

New Board Game Puts Environmental Twist on Monopoly-Style Investing

Players move their game pieces around the globe, investing in the world economy, while debating controversial environmental issues along the way. The first to invest $1 million in countries' energy resources wins. Designed by game makers Teamwork, Global is a first-of-its-kind hybrid that takes advantage of a traditional game board and pieces, as well as a website and mobile apps. The designers call it “netboarding”, and because the questions are accessed online, continual updates keep the game current on topics of debate like eco-forestry and nuclear power. Teamwork says the game is beginning to catch on with school teachers as a way to engage students in debate on environmental and energy issues through the lenses of philanthropy and investing.

Charging Phone with a fruit. Potato Light. Make Electricity from Potatoes. Spectran Version 2. Spectran is a program to do real time or deferred spectral analysis / waterfall display, in addition to real time audio filtering (band pass, denoising, band reject and CW peaking) of audio signals, using the PC sound card to digitize the input analog signal, or taking as input a WAV file.

Spectran Version 2

Its characteristics are well suited to dig weak signals buried into noise, thanks to a selectable bin size down to 21 millihertz. On the opposite site, it can visualize normal CW signals, resolving individual dots and dashes (with a reasonably fast PC). The most notable change in Version 2 of Spectran from the previous versions is in the sound card interfacing portion. The new code has a much reduced latency, and this has the very positive consequence that now there is no more need to "talk" to the sound card mixer, with all the problems of incompatibility that this has generated so far.
