| 112 | Chromatography a Superiority Formula Preview: "All flows, all changes". Heraclides "It's not difficult to know, it is difficult to get familiar". Skovoroda The theory of gas chromatography, presented by the equation of Van Deemter, (1) shows that for each chromatographic separation there exists an optimal flow rate above and below which the column efficiency is reduced. In practice, ... (more) Published By: Aram Hayrapetyan Submitted: 14 December,2003 |
| 113 | Space Pollution Preview: I bet you haven’t ever wondered about pollution of space. Yes, man started polluting space ever since Yuri Gangarin (first man in space) saw Earth in its entirety. Earth is not only orbited by satellites but also by paint particles, pieces of glass and even apparatus used by astronauts in the past. These may be small (that’s what we think – I mea...

Yeah you’re right (if you don’t have the answer, please re-read the title of this column), the drop bounces upwards. A French scientific team from the Collēge de France have studied the scene carefully with a camera that took 40000 images per second. Here are the res...

| 116 | Chromatography: a glance from XXI century Preview: Dear Colleague! Efficiency. I am sure it interests You - especially in attaining a maximum efficiency of the chromatographic column in use. It should be acknowledged that not all has been done yet in this field of chromatography. That's why the proposed technology has a high significance. Thus a new basis has been opened from which the whole phi... (more) Published By: Aram Hayrapetyan Submitted: 10 January,2004 |
| 117 | Nature Will Not Imagine Preview: Mathematicians can be pig-headed. Sometimes there are problems that admit of no solution, but the mathematician ignores common sense and presses on regardless. One such question would be "WHERE, ON A UNIT CIRCLE, IS A POINT FIVE UNITS TO THE RIGHT FROM THE CENTRE"? Pythagoras gave an answer. The hypotenuse is a unit, so you square it. The square...

| 118 | The Colour of Electrons and the CCD Preview: The world of physics is a strange world indeed. At the end of the nineteenth century it was found that a negatively charged metal plate would discharge when illuminated, but a positively charged one would not. Then it was found by some researchers that NO metal plate would discharge. Other researchers found that red light had no effect, but blu...

| 121 | Straddling the Science/Magic Line: A Look At Magnetic Therapy Preview: What's the difference between science and magic? It's our understanding of what makes something happen. If magic is hocus-pocus, science is simply well understood hocus-pocus. Fire? Solar eclipse? Volcanic eruption? Earthquake? Once we can explain it, it becomes science. But sometimes we're stuck straddling that science/magic line. Consider ma... (more) Published By: Maya Talisman Frost Submitted: 01 April,2004 |

Humans then start to panic. Problem is that humans do not necessarily want to show their uncertainty. So they hide it. When they actually hide this uncertainty, humans start to get stressed and this is the big problem. When we get stressed, we b... (more) Published By: K.A.Cassimally Submitted: 11 April,2004 |

The sun is the father of life on Earth! But similarly to giving life, it will also take it away. This will be life’s doomsday. No way ca...
