#Rim Fire Endangers Experimental Forest This article was provided by Accuweather. com. As the California Rim Fire near Yosemite national park continues to burn becoming one of the state's largest fires in California history it is coming dangerously close to sending years of research
Completed just last year the site was thinned back to recreate the conditions in the 1920s.
Despite the thinning process the research site still contains a fair amount of ground shrubbery that would aid in fueling the Rim fire
However if the fire does reach the site the team plans to take full advantage of the situation by studying the patterns the fire leaves in its wake.
How has moved the organism from a single site to every body of water in the world? And how have developed some species the ability to produce prodigious amounts of snot?
After generating massive amounts of data using next-generation gene sequencers they used the Ranger supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to align organize
and some of these have very complex algorithms Ashworth said. Before we had access to Ranger it would take weeks and months to run.
Theriot uses TACC to host a web portal that supports the research in the lab called Protist Central.
To produce grapes that will transform into a delicious bottle of wine the grapevines need to grow at a site with good soil drainage full sunlight and soil that is nutrient-poor.

#Satellites Spy Beetle Attacks on Forests A new computer program detected a slow-motion decline and subsequent revival of forests in the Pacific Northwest in recent years.
But what was behind this mysterious pattern? Â It was as it turns out bugs said Robert Kennedy a remote sensing specialist at Boston University who designed the computer program inâ a NASA statement.
Kennedy's program called Landtrendr can detect minute changes in the health of forests by analyzing wavelengths of light given off by the landscape
and recorded in satellite images. Different types of vegetation reflect different wavelengths of light often in ways that the naked eye can't detect.
In the case of the declining forests Kennedy consulted with the U s. Forest Service to confirm that the pattern of decline
His program also detected a similar pattern of damage caused by the western spruce budworm.
Kennedy's program also recognized a subtler decline of forests near these two mountains. Hiking to an area that seemed be in poor health based upon the program's analysis Kennedy recently found an infestation of western spruce budworms.
These insects eat the needles off of spruce trees This won't kill trees immediately but will if the insects return in following years NASA reported.

Various chocolate printers are on the market and for Valentine s day in Japan this year you could order chocolate made from a 3d scan of your face.
Further examples include a Burritobot on Kickstarter last year and Google serving 3d printed pasta. Other 3d printing technologies have been investigated for use with food.
In 2007 Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories introduced the Candyfab 4000 a DIY printer based on a modified selective laser sintering technique.
The Sugar Lab had adapted 3d Systems'Color Jet Printing (CJP) technology to print flavoured edible binders on a sugar bed to fabricate solid structures.
The netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific research (TNO) announced they ll build printers to reassemble pureed food to look like the original think 3d printed broccoli florets from pureed broccoli.
TNO has targeted printers for nursing homes in order to help elderly people who have chewing and swallowing problems.
Beyond medical conditions TNO has proposed printing customised meals with varied levels of the basic food components like carbs protein and fat for everyone from seniors to athletes to expectant mothers.
In this area one of the most interesting and perhaps controversial areas is the debate about printing meat.
Industrial scale printing of meat could additionally use cells grown in an algae-based cell culture
Whether the technology can truly move from the novelty sector will most likely depend on the ability to process a wider range of foods requiring influence from both the kitchen and from printer developers.
