The REON II device or Sonde deployed October 6 on the banks of the Hudson river in New Hamburg N y. is providing real-time data called for by scientists to better understand the complex relationship between humans the built environment and our fragile waterways.
It is one of 37 sensor stations currently in place in the Hudson and St lawrence river watersheds making REON one of the world's most robust resources of real-time data.
Applications of REON data could include the ability to visualize the movement of chemical or biological contaminants with far-reaching implications for public health including homeland security concerns.
Applying world class research to water quality has to be viewed as a critical component for sustaining society as a whole says Clarkson University President Tony Collins.

Researchers in 40 countries correlated birth rates with economic data and concluded that a moderately low birth rate--a little below two children per woman--can actually boost a country's overall standard of living.
Data smashing could unshackle automated discovery A little known secret in data mining is that simply feeding raw data into a data analysis algorithm is unlikely to produce meaningful results,
But most data comparison algorithms today have one major weakness--somewhere, they rely on a human expert to specify what aspects of the data are relevant for comparison,
and what aspects aren't . But experts aren't keeping pace with the growing amounts and complexities of big data.
Cornell computing researchers have come up with a new principle they call"data smashing"for estimating the similarities between streams of arbitrary data without human intervention,
and without access to the data sources. Hod Lipson, associate professor of mechanical engineering and computing and information science,
Data smashing is based on a new way to compare data streams. The process involves two steps. First, the data streams are smashed algorithmically"to"annihilate"the information in each other.
Data smashing principles may open the door to understanding increasingly complex observations, especially when experts do not know what to look for, according to the researchers.
The authors demonstrated the application of their principle to data from real-world problems, including the disambiguation of electroencephalograph patterns from epileptic seizure patients;

For example, manufacturers have announced plans for RRAM prototype chips that will be capable of storing about one terabyte of data on a device the size of a postage stamp--more than 50 times the data density of current flash memory technology.

The scientists found that controlling irrigation using data from moisture sensors led to substantial reductions in both production time and crop losses.
one of their biggest limitations is the capacity of their tiny batteries to deliver enough power to transmit data.

and the excellent precision of our detector, we have examined all possibilities for these signals, and conclude that they can only be explained by pentaquark states says LHCB physicist Tomasz Skwarnicki of Syracuse University. ore precisely the states must be formed of two up quarks,
The new data that LHCB will collect in LHC run 2 will allow progress to be made on these questions.

The company hopes to do that by combining low-powered wireless connectivity and a smart distribution network for data coming from those devices.
That because the big idea behind Helium is to use unlicensed wireless bandwidth to transmit small amounts of data from various connected device
To do that, the company is developing its own wireless data protocol and wireless modules that can be inserted into devices that manufacturers want to be a part of its network.

#Data From Alibaba E-commerce Sites Is Now Powering A Credit-Scoring Service Alibaba Group affiliate Ant Financial services has unveiled a new credit-scoring system that uses data from the e-commerce giant sites to gauge userscreditworthiness.
Sesame Credit scoring system which is currently in beta looks at data gleaned from the 300 million registered shoppers
Data used from shopping websites indicate how often a buyer or vendors follow through on transactions and the quality of their interactions with other users.
Ant Financial says that it will supplement data collected from Alibaba sites and Alipay with information from public agencies financial institutions and other merchants.
In a press statement Sesame Credit chief data scientist Yu Wujie said the service is targeted toward users who ay have obtained never bank loans
and other factors into consideration when assessing consumerscreditworthiness. esame Credit says it will protect user privacy by collecting an individual data only after they sign up for the service.

The Internet of things in actuality involves a network of smart sensors collecting data. As the sensors grow ever cheaper,

which could run better with real-time awareness, Herzberg said. He says when sensors provide real-time information,
What he means that the same sensor data may used differently, depending on the industry. t driven by the business case,
Making Use Of The Data But once, we collect the data, we have to do something.
We have to use it to take actions to improve our business processes, or it doesn really help us at all.
Sensors can feed a company data to make highly inefficient processes much more efficient, but SAP Herzberg says the proliferation of that data has become so massive that companies are overwhelmed
and humans can keep up with it. Then software takes over the task of finding correlation,
and software that can begin to make better use of the data the sensors are collecting.
