And the mind-set necessitated to this area is more of “rule orientation.” The other side, the sunny side, I would say, is more Silicon Valley–oriented, more of the data usage, data science, data analytics, innovation, growth. Housing those two ideas into one location is so important....
I’d love to see them do that and succeed. It would be great for the world, and if they’ve secretly taken steps in that direction, I applaud them. But from what I’ve seen so far, they’ve adopted the “move fast and break things” approach that Silicon Valley loves. Haven’...
They had the energy, they had their materials right in front of them, but.. What happened? This is where L-Theanine comes in. It’s an amino acid that is only found in the leaves of Camellia Sinensis, the plant that we get green and black tea from. Green tea has high levels of ...
To truly appreciate the nature of information distribution, we need to think in a broader context and challenge some assumptions: what if “online advertising”, or even “advertising” is not the right way to measure the TAM (total addressable market) for the search engine business? For ...
Membrane desalination is an economical and energy-efficient method to meet the current worldwide water scarcity. However, state-of-the-art reverse osmosis
Dissolved Si (dSi): dSi refers to silicon present as a solute. In most Earth surface environments, dSi is found as the undissociated monomeric silicic acid H4SiO4, though at higher pH the deprotonated forms H3SiO4− and H2SiO42− species are also found (at 25 °C, pKa1≈ 9.84; ...
Other significant deposits can be found in countries such as Morocco, Turkey, Canada, and Mexico. Barite has many uses, primarily in the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling muds. It is also used as a filler in the manufacture of paints, rubber, and plastics, as well ...
For those of us living in the early 21st century, over 30 years since the collapse of communism, the world shattering nature of the Russian Revolution is difficult to appreciate. This was not just a continuation of the democratic transformation that could be traced back to the American Revolutio...
beta-1.3D-glucans, a mass of the beta-1.3D glucans sufficient to achieve a concentration of at least about 0.1% m/v in the solution; zinc glutonate, a mass of the zinc glutonate sufficient to achieve a concentration of at least about 0.021% m/v in the solution; and silicon, a ...
