University of Southern California engineer Behrokh Khoshnevis and colleagues are developing a 3D printer for houses. Called Contour Crafting, the system spits out layers of concrete to build a structure from the bottom up. Caterpillar is sponsoring Khoshnevis's research. From the Contour Crafting page: Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly ...Shared by amoose136 (6) Bill (12) brady forrest (14) brokekid (233) DXL (20) Eric (10) flipp (23) hibiscusroto (36) Jeff Crump (24) kieraine (2) Mark (6) mfh (17) Mike Linksvayer (8) omar (4) phil.gs (15) Roshan (20) rszaloki (67) striatic (20) Tuneguru (9) Veritas Noctis (23)Contribute comment -

The Spittoon (13) permalink
Yesterday we reported on a new statistical method that can establish the presence of a single individual’s genetic signature in a sample containing DNA from hundreds of different people. The method has enormous potential in forensics, because DNA samples from crime scenes and mass disasters often contain genetic material from more than one person. But what’s promising in one context turns out to be troublesome in another. As we mentioned in yesterday’s post, the new ...- mndoci said: Still trying to grok the implications

Cap and Trade from the Continent by Eric de Place World Wildlife Fund has a helpful eight-page position statement that outlines the key features of the European Union's cap and trade program (called the Emissions Trading Scheme, or ETS for short.) It does a nice job of hitting on the central mistakes that Europe has made: over-allocation; windfall profits to polluters; and a rickety offsets program. Unfortunately, the document is not really written for beginners. ...Shared by brady forrest (14)Contribute comment -

It's a common figure of speech to say that x is worth its weight in y, where y is usually (but not always) gold. But most of us don't buy and weigh gold very often, so how do you connect that to real life? Does "worth its weight" in pennies or $100 bills make any more sense? We have collected here a bunch of examples for different things that represent a wide range of monetary ...Shared by AJ Slater (6) ani625 (87) April (14) beggs (16) brady forrest (14) Bruce (7) ChaoticMind (4) Chuck Falzone (20) darkeye11547 (179) David (39) DJ (20) Elizabeth Knopf (6) Eric Marcoullier (2) Ethan Hein (10) Eugene Alvin Villar (1) Frank (0) Jeff (61) Jeffrey (12) John Bruxy (2) John Massaglia (25) Julien Menichini (0) Karen Eliot (12) Katie (0) Kaye (22) Nikki J (2) Pamela (3) Paolo Privitera (4) Richard (4) Ryan Deschamps (8) Samantha (55) Taskinen (18) tsangal (30) Zigphroid (1)- Bruce said: Only $55 million for a pound of LSD.

It's been pointed out before that printer ink is also up there, but I'd rather not drink that either.)"Also it's good to know that the price of antimatter is $26 Quadrillion (I don't even know how many zeros that is!) but I suppose buying futures would be a bad idea... the giant donut of death in Switzerland should bring that price down, assuming we all survive after they turn it on.Great use of math for no other reason than that you have a degree in math...
