LateRooms.com - Head to Naples for The Aesthetics of Mould

A high-concept art show will soon go on display in Naples entitled The Aesthetics of Mould.

2011-03-18

NAPLES, ITALY, March 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Aesthetics of Mould is a new art exhibition in Naples that examines the creative process and compares it to the way nature evolves.

Running from March 25th to April 30th 2011, it will see the work of the production duo Ttozoi displayed at the Piazza S Eframo Vecchio.

The strange and captivating images created by the artists are very modern in their approach, but lean heavily on movements such as Gutai and abstract expressionism.

According to the organisers, the art on show is a perfect example of how a piece is born when the creator finishes painting it, but continues to develop beyond that moment.

"The canvases of Ttozoi live their own life and develop after the hand and the gesture of the artist have completed their 'creative task'," explained Cynthia Penna Simonelli in her introduction to the collection.

"Their 'moulds' on canvas continue to move, to change and to develop autonomously, irremediably."

Piazza S Eframo Vecchio is located in the Villa di Donato district of Naples.

LateRooms.com features a wide variety of Naples hotels that could appeal to art enthusiasts, such as the Grand Hotel Parkers Naples.

More information on the display is available at http://www.art1307.com/eng/ or by calling the organisers on +39 081 660 216.

NASA satellites show towering thunderstorms in rare sub-tropical storm Arani

2011-03-18

NASA's Aqua and TRMM satellites are providing data to scientists about the Southern Atlantic Ocean Sub-tropical Storm Arani, a rare occurrence in the southern ocean. Rainfall data and cloud top temperatures revealed some heavy rain and strong thunderstorms exist in Arani as it continues to pull away from Brazil. NOAA's Satellite and Information Service classified Arani as a T1 on the Dvorak intensity scale which would indicate an estimated wind speed of about 29 knots (~33 mph). During the daytime on Tuesday, March 15 at 1820 UTC (2:20 p.m. EST) NASA's Tropical Rainfall ...

Physicists move closer to efficient single-photon sources

2011-03-18

Washington, D.C. (March 16, 2011) -- A team of physicists in the United Kingdom has taken a giant step toward realizing efficient single-photon sources, which are expected to enable much-coveted completely secure optical communications, also known as "quantum cryptography." The team presents its findings in Applied Physics Letters, a journal published by the American Institute of Physics. Fluorescent "defect centers" in diamond act like atomic-scale light sources and are trapped in a transparent material that's large enough to be picked up manually. They don't need to ...

'Pruned' microchips are faster, smaller, more energy-efficient

2011-03-18

GRENOBLE, France -- (March 16, 2011) -- An international team of computing experts from the United States, Switzerland and Singapore has created a breakthrough technique for doubling the efficiency of computer chips simply by trimming away the portions that are rarely used. "I believe this is the first time someone has taken an integrated circuit and said, 'Let's get rid of the part that we don't need,'" said principal investigator Krishna Palem, the Ken and Audrey Kennedy Professor of Computing at Rice University in Houston, who holds a joint appointment at Nanyang Technological ...

New study pinpoints why some microbial genes are more promiscuous than others

2011-03-18

Durham, NC — A new study of more than three dozen bacteria species — including the microbes responsible for pneumonia, meningitis, stomach ulcers and plague — settles a longstanding debate about why bacteria are more likely to steal some genes than others. While most organisms get their genes from their parents just like people do, bacteria and other single-celled creatures also regularly pick up genes from more distant relatives. This ability to 'steal' snippets of DNA from other species — known as lateral gene transfer — is responsible for the rapid spread of drug resistance ...

Does your name dictate your life choices?

2011-03-18

What's in a name? Letters. And psychologists have posited that the letters—particularly the first letter of our names—can influence decisions, including whom we marry and where we move. The effect is called "implicit egotism." In 2008, two Belgian researchers found that workers in their country were more likely to choose a workplace if the first letter of its name matched their own. A commentary published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, revisited the study with similar U.S. data and found that the ...

Innovative technique gives vision researchers insight into how people recognize faces

2011-03-18

Rockville, MD — It is no surprise to scientists that the largest social network on the web is called Facebook. Identifying people by their face is fundamental to our social interactions, one of the primary reasons vision researchers are trying to find out how our brain processes facial identity. In a study recently published in the Journal of Vision, scientists used an original approach — a method that "shakes" the brain gently and repeatedly by making an image appear and disappear at a constant rate — to evaluate its sensitivity to perceiving facial identity. The technique ...

NASA's Aqua Satellite spies a '3-leaf Clover' view of Ireland for St. Patrick's Day

2011-03-18

Typical clovers have three leaves, unless you happen to be lucky, and NASA's Aqua satellite has provided three different views of Ireland to mark Saint Patrick's Day on March 17, 2011.

Ireland, located in the Atlantic Ocean, is the third-largest island in Europe, and originated the St. Patrick's ...

Gender stereotypes could push women away from entrepreneurship

2011-03-18

BINGHAMTON, NY -- Vishal Gupta believes the way that entrepreneurship is presented, discussed and taught must change — especially for women. "Where are the role models for women?" asks Gupta, an assistant professor of strategy at Binghamton University. "Pick up any book on entrepreneurship: It's all about men. Switch on the TV, and when it comes to entrepreneurs, it is Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Where are the women entrepreneurs? They're not being talked about." Of course, there have been many high-profile female entrepreneurs over the past half-century. The accomplishments ...
