Between your various online banking passwords and user names, Amazon, eBay, every social network you belong to, Netflix, however many accounts you have with online retailers like ShopBop or Sephora or Petco or where ever鈥攊t can be a sort of nightmare trying to keep track of all your passwords and user names.

NASA Suomi NPP satellite was able to grab this beautiful image of the United States of America at night because of a new infrared sensor on the satellite. The sensor is able to detect natural light versus man-made light at stanley us extremely high resolution. That how you get this perfect image of Earth at night. Wired writes: The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite has a day-night band that can detect natural and man-made light with unprecedented resolution and clarity. It can resolve everything from the nocturnal glow of the atmosphere to the light of a single boat at sea. It can detect auroras, wildfires, the reflection of moon and star light off clouds and ice and the lights alongside highways. The sensor has six times better spatial resolution and 250 times better resolution of lighting levels than anything that came before it. What 821 stanley tumbler 7 interesting is that the pictures from the Suomi satellite are available to the public, giving most people the clearest look of Earth at stanley cup night ever.

The Arctic Sea Ice extent this September was far smaller than the previous record, set in 2007.

In the depths of winter, the Earth tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day darkness. Temperatures, cold year round, plunge even lower. The sea surface freezes over. At the height of summer, the opposite tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day sunlight. While it a cold cold place even at these times, the constant sunshine, warmer air, and influx of warm waters from further south serve to melt the ice.

Their primary, well, only purpose was to mechanically replicate the tedious, laborious, and often error-prone task of calculating the tides鈥攎uch like the early precursors to Excel eliminated the massive workload that analog spreadsheets required.

In the 1860 , William Thomson aka the 1st Baron of Kelvin applied Fourier analysis to tidal motion equations. This extrapolation was then expanded by George Darwin, who applied recently revised Lunar theory. By the late 19th century, mathematician AT Doodson upda

Chemotherapy is an extremely aggressive way to treat cancer, because it indiscriminate about which cells it kills, cancerous or healthy. But while aggressive, it is at least thought to be effective鈥攚hich is why a new study suggesting chemotherapy can sometimes encourage cancer growth is shocking doctors. The study, which is published in Nature Medicine, suggests that when chemotherapy damages healthy cells, they can sometimes go on to secrete a protein that sustains tumor growth and stanley kaffeebecher causes resistance to further treatment. The experiments tested the effects of a chemotherapy treatment on prostate tumors. Samples collected from men showed that the chemotherapy treatment can cause healthy cells to create more of a protein called WNT16B鈥攚hich boosts cancer cell survival. Peter Nelson, one of the researchers, explains to AFP: The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected. WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumor cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy. The finding could explain why sometimes tumors initially respond well to chemotherapy, before then going through a period of rapid regrowth. The team has already performed some initial confirmatory tests with breast and ovarian cancer tumors, and observed similar effects. All this said, chemotherapy ha stanley thermos s, of course, saved countless lives鈥攕o this new finding isn ;t going to stanley cup stamp out its use.

Not stanley cup hing travels faster than light in a vacuum, obviously. And while scientists knew that quantum particles interact with one another at a slower speed, they had trouble measuring the speed at which that happens. Until now, that is. According to an article published by Nature Magazine and told through Ars Technica , an experiment run by Marc Cheneau was able to prove the velocity ceiling for quantum particles by trapping a quantum gas with atoms in an optical lattice between intersecting lasers: By rapidly increasing the depth of the optical lattice, the researchers create what is known as a quenched system. You can think of this as analogous to plunging a hot forged piece of metal into water to stanley cup cool it quickly. Before the change, the atoms are in equilibrium; after the change, they are highly excited.

Neighboring quasiparticles begin with their quantum states entangled, but p stanley polska ropagate rapidly in opposite directions down the lattice. As in all entangled systems, the states of the quasiparticles remain correlated even as the separation between them grows. By measuring the distance between the excitations as a function of time, the real velocity of the quasiparticles ; propagation can be measured. As measured, it is more than twice the speed of sound in the system. What does that mean in the scheme of things Well it serves as an importan

The photo featured up top is wonderful in its own right, offering us an unprecedented view of Curiosity and its landing site.
