Basilica (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Basilica sur la planète Harmonie vie selon des règles assez différentes de celles à laquelle nous sommes habitués : seules les femmes ont le droit de posséder un logement dans la ville, elles choisissent leurs époux et peuvent en changer tous les ans et une entité divine du nom de Surâme prodigue ses conseils à qui veut bien les entendre. Mais un jour quelques hommes reçoivent des visions très différentes de la part de Surâme. Volemak, un homme sage et respecté a la vision de Basilica en flammes alors que deux de ses (...) |

Helpline Comment (33706) (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Actually, it depends on what kind of HardCard you're using. A Plus Systems HardCard (proprietary) requires a special driver, but a card based on a "standard" (MFM or sometimes XT-IDE) controller board (like the Western Digital) needs no driver, any more than any other standard card jacked-into the PC bus. --T |

Gas (Methane) Hydrates - A New Frontier (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Methane trapped in marine sediments as a hydrate represents such an immense carbon reservoir that it must be considered a dominant factor in estimating unconventional energy resources; the role of methane as a 'greenhouse' gas also must be carefully assessed. Hydrates store immense amounts of methane, with major implications for energy resources and climate, but the natural controls on hydrates and their impacts on the environment are very poorly understood. |

Project Orion: Its Life, Death, and Possible Rebirth (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Project Orion was a space vehicle propulsion system that depended on exploding atomic bombs roughly two hundred feet behind the vehicle (1). The seeming absurdity of this idea is one of the reasons why Orion failed; yet, many prominent physicists worked on the concept and were convinced that it could be made practical. Since atomic bombs are discrete entities, the system had to operate in a pulsed rather than a continuous mode. It is similar in this respect to an automobile engine, in which the peak combustion temperatures far exceed the melting points of the cylinders and pistons. |

Alternative Energy Sources - Myths and Realities (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Oil fuels the modern world. It brought great changes to economies and lifestyles in less than 200 years. Nothing else to date can equal the enormous impact which the use of oil has had on so many people, so rapidly, and in so many ways around the world. But oil is a finite resource. The common question "How long will oil be produced? |

Anatomy of zero point energy modules (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - There is enough ZPE in a volume the size of a coffee cup to boil away Earth's oceans. Simply put ZPE is the energy left behind in a volume of space after all the matter and radiation has been removed. It is electromagnetic, intense and of course indestructible. |

Extracting ZPE is Just a Drop in the Ocean (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Tom Bearden's correspondence with L.R. Pastor purports that our current energy systems tap the 'vacuum' in a deliberately inefficient manner that disturbs equilibrium. In Part II, Bearden explains the nature of the 'ZPE - Energy From The Vacuum' source that Nikola Tesla referred to as the very "wheelworks of nature." |

Epic Journeys: The Great Migrations (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - While all of us are busy in our day to day "human" schedules, do we ever take a moment to think about what other animals, such as birds, insects and some species of fish, do to prepare for the new season? Where do they go? How do they know when it is time to head south? What is it in their brains that tells them that this is the direction in which to head? |

ZPEnergy.com (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - This is a NEWS PORTAL dedicated to experimental research on REVOLUTIONARY ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES. We propose to you to use this site as THE concentrator of choice for valuable news on the fascinating but still controversial subject of over-unity (O/U) fuel-less energetics (devices tapping the Zero Point Energy (ZPE)/ Vacuum/ Cosmic/ Ambient energy fields) and related. We want to let the general public know that this is an active field and good progress is made towards validating this technology and bringing the first commercial operational device to the market. |

Inhibitory neurons not just brakes they can also be used to steer (Oct 23 2005 23:28 GMT) - Delving ever deeper into the intricate architecture of the brain, researchers at The Salk Institute have now described how two different types of nerve cells, called neurons, work together in tiny sub-networks to pass on just the right amount and the right kind of sensory information. Their study, published online by Nature Neuroscience, depicts how specific types of inhibitory neurons in the visual cortex of a rat brain are wired to, and "talk" with, discrete excitatory neurons. They also show how that "conversation," aimed at keeping the right balance of chemical signals, often excludes surrounding neurons. "The inhibitory neurons are not just brakes, they can also be used to steer." said co-author Ed Callaway, Ph. |
