    In:  Guangmeng, G. and Jie, Y.: Three attempts of earthquake prediction with satellite cloud images, Nat. Hazards Earth Syst. Sci., 13, 91–95, doi:10.5194/nhess-13-91-2013, 2013.
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Several recently published reports have suggested that semi-stationary linear-cloud formations might be causally precursory to earthquakes.We examine the report of Guangmeng and Jie (2013), who claim to have predicted the 2012 M6:0 earthquake in the Po Valley of northern Italy after seeing a satellite photograph (a digital image) showing a linear-cloud formation over the eastern Apennine Mountains of central Italy. From inspection of 4 years of satellite images we find numerous examples of linear-cloud formations over Italy. A simple test shows no obvious statistical relationship between the occurrence of these cloud formations and earthquakes that occurred in and around Italy. All of the linearcloud formations we have identified in satellite images, including that which Guangmeng and Jie (2013) claim to have used to predict the 2012 earthquake, appear to be orographic – formed by the interaction of moisture-laden wind flowing over mountains. Guangmeng and Jie (2013) have not clearly stated how linear-cloud formations can be used to predict the size, location, and time of an earthquake, and they have not published an account of all of their predictions (including any unsuccessful predictions). We are skeptical of the validity of the claim by Guangmeng and Jie (2013) that they have managed to predict any earthquakes.

    Abstract: It seems advisable to investigate polycondensation processes extended systematically from low to high conversion by carefully chosen model systems, considering the statistical data available on the processes themselves and the relationship between structure and properties of the resulting polymers. In a previous paper (Rev. Gén. Caoutchouc Plastiques, Éd. Plastiques, 4, (1967) 111) dealing with conventional crosslinking agents, the possibility was suggested to perform polycondensation processes approaching more closely the classical random distribution. This can be achieved with symmetrical monomers having functional groups well spaced out to avoid substitution effects and cyclisation. Cyclisation is also rendered more difficult by greater stiffness of the structure of the monomers. This paper shows by some examples that, in favourable cases, the deviation from the classical random distribution can be reduced to the limits of experimental error, thus enabling the physical properties to be compared with the results of comparatively simple model calculations.
    Notes: Es ist ratsam, Polykondensationsprozesse an äußerst sorgfältig gewählten Modellsystemen zu studieren, und zwar systematisch von niedrigeren nach höheren Umsätzen, und indem man die Kenntnis der Prozesse selbst, der resultierenden Struktur der Produkte, und deren strukturgebundenen physikalischen Eigenschaften gleichzeitig auf statistischer Basis vertieft. In einem früheren Bericht (Rev. Gén. Caoutchouc Plastiques, Éd. Plastiques, 4, 1967, 111) über bekannte organische und anorganische Netzformer wurde auf die Möglichkeit hingewiesen, Polykondensationssysteme zu entwickeln, die den reinen klassischen Zufallsverteilungen in viel besserer Näherung folgen. Hierzu wählt man symmetrische Monomere mit räumlich weit auseinanderliegenden Funktionen, um Substitutionseffekte und Ringschlüsse weitgehend zu vermeiden; weiterhin werden Ringschlüsse auch durch Steifheit der Monomerstruktur sehr erschwert. In diesem Vortrag wird an einigen Beispielen belegt, daß man so tatsächlich die Abweichungen vom klassischen (cyclenfreien) Zufallsmodell in günstigen Fällen erwartungsgemäß bis zur Grenze der Unmeßbarkeit zurückdrängen kann, und daß sich das deshalb lohnt, weil man dann physikalische Eigenschaften der Produkte mit relativ einfachen Modellrechnungen vergleichen kann.

    Notes: Factor assays of normal citrated plasma following incubation with nonleaching heparinized surfaces in high surface area-plasma volume ratios showed a marked pattern of reduction in factor IX activity, with lesser depression of II and X. No or modest effect on other factors was observed. In particular, no significant adsorption of factor XII (Hageman) by either cationic or anionic surfaces, was found. No consistent pattern of effects was seen with a group of strongly anionic surfaces, analogous to the sulfate and sulfamate groupings of the heparin molecule. However, certain members of this class showed profound effects on factor XI.

    Description: An analog onboard monitoring system was installed on a YF-12 airplane as the first phase of a program to monitor the engine inlet and portions of the airplane's electrical and fuel management subsystems in flight. The system provided data which were considered to form a suitable base for diagnostic test logic and decision criteria for the rest of the program. The data were also adequate for the purpose of maintaining the engine inlet and identifying malfunctions within it. The investigation showed that the requirements of an onboard monitoring system should be considered during the original design of the system to be monitored.

    Description: Diverse space-related applications have been proposed for microscopic and sub-microscopic structures, mechanisms, and 'organisms'. To govern their functions, many of these tiny systems will require even smaller, nanometer-scale programmable computers, i.e. 'nanocomputers' on-board. This paper provides an overview of the results of a nearly two-year study of the technologies and designs that presently are in development for electronic nanocomputers. Strengths and weaknesses of the various technologies and designs are discussed, as well as promising directions for remedying some of the present research issues in this area. The presentation is a synopsis of a longer MITRE review article on the same subject.

    Description: The International Space Station (ISS) is a unique multidisciplinary orbiting laboratory for science and technology research, enabling discoveries that benefit life on Earth and exploration of the universe. ISS facilities for containerless sample processing in Materials Science experiments include levitation devices with specimen positioning control while reducing containment vessel contamination. For example, ESA's EML (ElectroMagnetic Levitator), is used for melting and solidification of conductive metals, alloys, or semiconductors in ultra-high vacuum, or in high-purity gaseous atmospheres. Sample heating and positioning are accomplished through electromagnetic fields generated by a coil system. EML applications cover investigation of solidification and microstructural formation, evaluation of thermophysical properties of highly reactive metals (whose properties can be very sensitive to contamination), and examination of undercooled liquid metals to understand metastable phase convection and influence convection on structural changes. MSL utilization includes development of novel light-weight, high-performance materials. Another facility, JAXA's ELF (Electrostatic Levitation Furnace), is used to perform high temperature melting while avoiding chemical reactions with crucibles by levitating a sample through Coulomb force. ELF is capable of measuring density, surface tension, and viscosity of samples at high temperatures. One of the initial ELF investigations, Interfacial Energy-1, is aimed at clarification of interfacial phenomena between molten steels and oxide melts with industrial applications in control processes for liquid mixing. In addition to these Materials Science facilities, other ISS investigations that involve levitation employ it for biological research. For example, NASA's "Magnetic 3D Culturing and Bioprinting" investigation uses magnetic levitation for three-dimensional culturing and positioning of magnetized cells to generate spheroid assemblies for biomedical applications. Levitation is also used as a modeled microgravity ground analog in the NASA OsteoOmics ISS investigation, which tests whether magnetic levitation accurately simulates microgravity conditions by studying gravitational regulation of osteoblast and osteoclast genomics and metabolism. Elucidating the cellular mechanisms of bone loss in microgravity contributes to the understanding of bone loss in medical disorders on Earth, which may lead to development of preventive or therapeutic countermeasures. Thus, the ISS state-of-the-art laboratory offers various levitation capability platforms with applications for innovative research in Materials and Life Sciences disciplines, with benefits for humanity.
