#An Open-source Hive To Save The Bees#You may have heard by now: bees are dropping like flies continuing to die at unprecedented rates
From the project site: The Open source Beehives project is a collaborative response to the threat faced by bee populations in industrialised nations around the world.
The project proposes to design hives that can support bee colonies in a sustainable way to monitor
Each hive contains an open source sensory kit The Smart Citizen Kit (SCK) which can transmit to an open data platform:
and freely available online the data collected from each hive is published together with geolocations allowing for a further comparison and analysis of the hives.
and you can find the source code for the hives at the project site.##Boing Boing t
#Somebody Modded A Piano To Play The Game'Doom'Video For better or worse the 1993 demon-blasting video game Doom is one of the most influential games ever.
a piano rigged to act like a keyboard for the game. A team of game developers got together and wired keys in the piano to a PC running the game.
When players hit certain notes it's the equivalent of hitting certain keyboard commands. Each white key corresponds to an action like moving while each black key fires.
C-sharp to shoot frantically at the hell-beasts. A screen in the front of the piano shows the action.

#Waggling Phallic Scanner 3-D-Maps The Tower Of Pisa In 20 Minutes The Zebedee created by Australia's national space agency is a 3-D scanner
The heavy lifting of the Zebedee is done in software as all that conflicting laser data is converted to a 3-D map.
--but that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as the software is capable of sorting out the redundant data in a reasonable time-frame which it sounds like this data is.
or read more over at the Australian space agency's site. I am sure a great many Popsci readers are thinking this at the same time I'm typing it Attachã this to a drone for remote scouting in 3d!
And to keep the weight down for processing this data the data could just be beam back to the drone remote site to be processed there.
computer algorithms designed the 3. 2-meter-tall 16-square-meter room which has a whopping 260 million(!)
And instead of being made of plastic (3-D printing's go-to material) it's printed from sand.
We think it's the world's first 3-D printed room Hansmeyer tells us in an email in the sense that it's fully structural
The duo used algorithms to let computers randomly design the room which was printed in Zurich. The team designed an overarching model
but many of the details are the work of algorithms.)With a digital version of the room in hand they used sand as the material along with a binding agent to print large chunks of the room--up to 4 meters tall by 1 meter wide by 2 meters deep.
In the Digital Grotesque project we use these algorithms to create a form that appears at once synthetic and organic.
it's a wall panel or at most a pair of wall panels. But a room it is not.

So basically a Ram Air (Oxygen) induction that is super cooled used to ignite/burn rocket/hydrogen fuel.
I am guessing that due to the need for Ram Air at mach 5. 2 that this thing has to stop engine burn at orbit (due to lack of oxygen)

Maybe just takeoff requires Ram and not return? Do not try and bend the spoon.

#In Japan, Eight People With Two Laptops Launch A Telescope Into Orbit A new low-cost highly automated rocket from Japan's space agency launched Saturday with just eight crew members and two laptops on-site.
A large control room could be integrated into a single laptop PC the rocket's project manager Yasuhiro Morita said in a statement in 2011.'
Its computer system reduces the number of people needed at a launch site from the 150 that were standard at Japan's previous space launches.
and then cancelled apparently because of computer glitches. JAXA reported Saturday's launch went fine and that the satellite now in orbit is in good health.

Take the case of the bed data recently released. It has a spatial resolution of 1 km
The data was collected over several decades by NASA and researchers from the UK and Germany.
Radio waves of certain frequencies can travel through ice but bounce off the bedrock beneath. So researchers sent down pulses of radio energy of this particular frequency.
By analysing this radar data the team were able to map the topography of the underlying bedrock.
So when a photon comes in it excites nearby atoms but when the next photon enters the cloud it would excite nearby atoms to the same degree

Connected cameras may improve the overall quality of crowdsourced images but they will do little for the editors
With Scoopshot a Helsinki software start-up publishers can send photo assignments to the service s network of 300000-plus mobile users.
But to assure quality editors will need software that automatically selects the best images not just the ones taken in the right place at the right time.
That type of computer vision already exists on a small scale. A recent update to Google+analyzes groups of pictures for blurriness aesthetics landmarks

#A Smartphone App That Detects Radiation In A Disaster Disaster City is your one-stop for about every catastrophe you can think of.
Train derailments hurricanes and other unfortunate happenings all get simulated at the Texas A&m site.
a smartphone app that detects radiation. Gammapix which sounds like one of those weird apps you accidentally find in the App store
and assume doesn't work is apparently a real thing#for iphone and Android#that can be used for the detection of radioactivity in everyday life such as exposure on airplanes from medical patients or from contaminated products.
It works through a smartphone's camera so doesn't require any external attachments. Chips inside of a smartphone's built-in camera are sensitive to gamma rays;
Gammapix uses its software to measure the impact of those rays and give a picture of radioactivity#in the area.
The company says it works from up to 100 meters away.##Wednesday at the Disaster City exercise first responders measured radiation levels with the app then practiced sending the data to officials through a wireless network.
The idea's that those officials will be able to make better-informed decisions more quickly with the data.
Maybe one day civilians could download the app and be prepared to monitor radioactivity in an emergency

#How Scott Collis Is Harnessing New Data To Improve Climate models Each year Popular Science seeks out the brightest young scientists and engineers and names them the Brilliant Ten.
Some are tackling pragmatic questions like how to secure the Internet while others are attacking more abstract ones like determining the weather on distant exoplanets.
--The Editorsargonne National Laboratoryharnessing new data to improve climate modelsclouds are one of the great challenges for climate scientists.
But rudimentary data has simplified their role in simulations leading to variability among climate models. Scott Collis discovered a way to add accuracy to forecasts of future climate by tapping new sources of cloud data.
Collis has extensive experience watching clouds first as a ski bum during grad school in Australia and then as a professional meteorologist.
and Climate research he realized there was an immense source of cloud data that climate modelers weren't using:
So Collis took on the gargantuan task of building open-access tools that convert the raw data from radar databases into formats that climate modelers can use.
In one stroke Collis unlocked years of weather data. We were able to build such robust algorithms that they could work over thousands of radar volumes without human intervention says Collis.
When the U s. Department of energy caught wind of his project it recruited him to work with a new radar network designed to collect high-quality cloud data from all over the globe.
The network the largest of its kind isn't complete yet but already the data that Collis and his collaborators have collected is improving next-generation climate models.

As a computer scientist at the Polytechnic institute of New york University Cappos has developed a completely different way to cloud compute.
In typical cloud computing users connect to a powerful centralized data center. But Cappos's cloud is less of a dense thunderhead and more of a fog.
and CPU in an isolated safe way he says. Because Seattle allows users to access the Net with foreign IP ADDRESSES it enables developers to view their sites
or apps as they would in other countries. That ability is also particularly valuable to individuals who wish to circumvent local censorship.
By the end of 2012 Seattle had 20000 users. Cappos and colleagues are now working on software that could access the sensors in smartphones as well.
Scientists could use it to test new apps such as an earthquake monitor that uses a phone's accelerometer to measure quake intensity.
