The 4th R Foundation: We Need Peace in the World and we Need Peace in our Minds/Brains; We Need to Understand the True Nature of Peace - We Desperately Need Wisdom/Emotional-Intelligence Education
2012-03-14
Only when man understands the true nature of peace will there be movement toward peace. Peace can only be understood when we understand the true nature of wisdom as peace is an attribute of wisdom. As wisdom is selflessness; peace is selflessness.
Peace is a fragrance of the pure self. Peace is an innate property of the pure self. Only when both adversaries have a real transformation not just in attitude toward each other and also toward their own outlook on life will there be real peace. It is not for nothing that Jesus said that if someone hits you on one cheek offer ...
Diamond-based materials brighten the future of electronics
2012-03-14
While diamonds may be a girl's best friend, they're also well-loved by scientists working to enhance the performance of electronic devices.
Two new studies performed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have revealed a new pathway for materials scientists to use previously unexplored properties of nanocrystalline-diamond thin films. While the properties of diamond thin films are relatively well-understood, the new discovery could dramatically improve the performance of certain types of integrated circuits by reducing their "thermal budget." ...
Detecting clouds from both sides now
2012-03-14
"Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air;" we've looked at clouds that way. But the interface between clouds and clear air isn't as well-defined as these imaginative shapes might lead us to believe. Detecting that hazy line can help scientists to better understand the processes that lead to cloud formation, which is important for good weather forecasts and climate modeling. Now atmospheric scientists from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom have designed a sunlight-measuring tool that uses the natural swinging and spinning of a rising ...
Laser lightning rod: Guiding bursts of electricity with a flash of light
2012-03-14
Using an experimental apparatus reminiscent of a classic Frankenstein movie, French researchers have coaxed laboratory-generated lightning into striking the same place, not just twice, but over and over. This feat of electrical reorientation used femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) pulses of laser light to create a virtual lightning rod out of a column of ionized gas. This is the first time that these laser-induced atmospheric filaments were able to redirect an electrical discharge away from its intended target and guide it to a normally less-attractive electrode. ...
Artificially structured metamaterials may boost wireless power transfer
2012-03-14
More than one hundred years after the pioneering inventor Nikola Tesla first became fascinated with wireless energy transfer, the spread of mobile electronic devices has sparked renewed interest in the ability to power up without plugging in. Now researchers from Duke University in Durham, N.C., and the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, Mass., have proposed a way to enhance the efficiency of wireless power transfer systems by incorporating a lens made from a new class of artificial materials.

Magma fingers, volcanic plumbing, knickzones, and atmospheric river events
2012-03-14
Boulder, Colo., USA - Highlights include several studies based in the U.S. Sierra Nevada, including a description of "magma fingers" and the formation of granite in the high Sierra crest near Yosemite National Park. Other studies investigate knickzones in the South Fork of the Eel River, California; the Rodgers Creek-Maacama fault system in the northern California Coast Ranges and its relation to the San Andreas fault; and the frequency and severity of destructive debris flows in the Pacific Northwest.

Uterine rupture is rare in the UK but increases with the number of previous cesarean deliveries
2012-03-14
An analysis of the UK Obstetric Surveillance System published in this week's PLoS Medicine shows that uterine rupture—a serious complication of pregnancy in which the wall of the uterus (womb) tears during pregnancy or early labour—is rare but for women who have previously had a caesarean section, the risk of rupture increases with the number of previous caesarean deliveries, a short interval since the last caesarean section, and with induced labour.

New insights into the synaptic basis of chronic pain
2012-03-14
A team of scientists has found a novel road-block in the pain pathway, which could be used to treat chronic pain. Their results are published March 13 in the online, open-access journal PLoS Biology.
Pain is an important physiological function that protects our bodies from harm. Pain-sensing nerves transduce harmful stimuli into electrical signals and transmit this information to the brain via the spinal cord. However, when these nerves get activated persistently, such as after injury or inflammation, the information flow into the spinal cord is remarkably amplified. ...
