About 95 percent of tornadoes in the United states are EF2S or below according to the National Climatic Data center.

Using supercomputer simulations she and her team are working to model tornadoes on a very fine scale tracking their movements to within 165 to 245 feet (50 to 75 meters).

Radar can't sense every component of the wind's movement for example. By using simulations she

On Monday the National Weather Service office in Norman Okla. gave residents 16 minutes of warning before the tornado even formed based on radar indicators that the storm clouds were circulating in such a way that a tornado was likely.

Colorado State university engineer V. Chandrasekar and his team are working to deploy small networks of radar in urban areas.

Traditional radar provides only one component of wind movement. What we are about is getting higher resolution in space

At IBM we developed a precision agriculture weather-modeling service using Deep Thunder our Big data analytics technology for local customized high-resolution and rapid weather predictions.

It gathers data from sensors placed throughout fields that measure the temperature and moisture levels in soil and surrounding air.

A supercomputer processes the combined data and generates a four-dimensional mathematical model derived from the physics of the atmosphere.

By combining supercomputing and Big data analytics with other technological innovations even farmers with modest means can bolster production and profits.

#The Ultimate Iron Chef When 3d printers Invade the Kitchen (Op-Ed) This article was published originally atâ The Conversation.

But recent advances in 3d printing (known formally as additive manufacturing) are driving the concept closer to reality.

Building by extruding material through a nozzle is quite similar to how certain 3d printers called fused deposition modellers (FDM) work today.

Researchers at Cornell pioneered some of this work adapting an open source extrusion printer called the Fab@Home Lab to work with food in 2007.

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 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.

And NASA sees 3d printed food as a revolutionary way to make personalised meals for astronauts.

They are funding development of a 3d printer that premixes basic food components before spraying the mix on baking tray.

Some suggest 3d printed meat could provide high quality protein for a growing global population without increasing stress on arable land

whether 3d printed meat is halal or kosher. There may not be an issue if there is no animal slaughter involved.

They work with communities on a wide range of issues including synthetic biology and bionic implants.

With no slow down in 3d printing developments there will certainly be new advances in printed food.

whether 3d printed food can integrate in the global supply chain particularly if printed meat can be made economically viable

However the benefits of 3d printed food could be monumental. Time will tell if the next fad will be the 3d printed diet.

Until then the community should be involved in the discussion of printed food. Dr. Robert Gorkin is a Strategic Development Officer at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES.

#Build a Better Drone, for Wildlife Conservation (Op-Ed) David Wilkie is director of conservation support

Commonly called drones UAVS were once the domain of the military; now these devices show great promise in strengthening wildlife law enforcement.

Increased battery life and flight duration greater payloads cheaper infrared sensors and affordable real-time transmission of imagery would all make a major difference.

They might consider a fisheries agent based on a coastal atoll who uses a tethered balloon carrying a radar sensor to detect all vessels that enter the community's no-take fishing sanctuary.

Or instead drone technicians might envision Congo forest eco-guards getting a closer and safer look at what appears be a group of well-armed ivory poachers near a salt lick.

A guard deploys an almost silent battery-powered hexacopter that maneuvers below the canopy searching for signs of poachers.

UAV developers might even conceive of a squadron of drones with heat-sensing cameras flying across the vast plains of Central asia's Ustyurt Plateau searching for signs of saiga-antelope poachers.

We challenge the conservation community to establish a competition for the development of practical and effective conservation drones.

Google glass with visual recognition. A bracelet that lets friends send each other smiles. These are just a few of the devices forging the future of wearable tech.

Fitness trackers GPS watches and blood-pressure monitors are just a few of the devices that allow individuals to record

Systems such as Google glass have been experimenting with projecting a screen in front of the eye which eliminates the need for a screen.

Communications technology will shift more toward wearable devices Shaddock predicts. Reminiscent of the VISOR worn by the character Geordi La Forge in Star trek:

With more and more devices measuring personal data and uploading it to computer networks security is definitely a concern experts say.

Encrypting devices takes computing power but as the cost of computing goes down it gets easier to add more encryption.

and it's a robot. Levandowski backs out of his suburban driveway in the usual manner.

By the time he points his car down the street it has used its GPS and other sensors to determine its location in the world.

On the dashboard right in front of the windshield is a low-profile heads-up display. manual it reads in sober sans serif font white on black.

The graphics are reminiscent of Pong. But the game play? Pure Frogger. There are two buttons on Levandowski's steering wheel off and on and after merging into an auto-drive lane he hits on with his thumb.

Google has a small fleet of driverless cars now plying public roads. They are test vehicles

It ends with robots harvesting our bodies for energy. Google is still not saying much to reporters (including this one) about its plans

The acronym stands for light detection and ranging and it works on the same principle that radar and sonar do

and you have a point-cloud: a 3-D model mapped at a 1: 1 scale and accurate down to the centimeter.

Who has control of a driverless car? For the autonomous vehicle that now drives Levandowski to work the answer (according to Smith) is logical:

Peter Stone an artificial-intelligence expert at the University of Texas at Austin thinks that intersecting streams of automated traffic will essentially flow through one another controlled by a new piece of road infrastructure the computerized intersection manager.

Both use a combination of radar and computer vision to center the vehicle in the lane

The problem is that even the best radar -and vision-based pedestrian-avoidance systems fail to see the proverbial child running into the road 1 or 2 percent of the time.

Google is betting that established car manufacturers working with low-cost radar and camera components will never adequately bridge that gap.

Watching the video it reminded me of the old Test Driving video game on the PC a long time ago. lol---In space no one can hear a tree fall in the forest.

if it was the driverless car. The first wave of the attack of the machines will be these autonomous cars running people down(:

Driverless cars should be aggressively rolled out as soon as they marginally surpass statistical human safety levels which they may have done already.

#The Robotic Search For Lost WORLD WAR II Airmen Click here to see the galleryon a bright morning in Mid-march Pat Scannon stands on the deck of a 40-foot catamaran looking for an airplane hidden in the waters of Palau

Historically on unmanned underwater platforms you might spend the better part of your experimental time just ensuring the sensors were functioning tracking the vehicle navigation

and charging batteries he says. The systems now have matured to where we can run them hard like outboard motors.

The oceanographic community is engineering new sensors for them and having them do smarter things during their searches.

Guided by GPS coordinates from the AUV Pat Colin director of the Coral reef Research Foundation pilots the vessel across the lagoon to the approximate location of the mystery plane.

It lays on a bed of thick sediment that our fins kick up into dusty clouds.

With data from the robotic vehicles Palau can add downed aircraft to an inventory of the country's rich underwater sites something previously unattainable for an office that can barely afford to buy gas for a boat.

more sophisticated printers advances in regenerative medicine and refined CAD software. To print the liver tissue at Organovo Vivian Gorgen a 25-year-old systems engineer simply had to click run program with a mouse.

The New world of 3d printing prototyped another kind of tissue: cartilage. The spatial control over the placement of cells has never been possible to this degree he says.

The team used CT scans to create a CAD file of a sheep's meniscus

In the film set in the 23rd century an automated pod with two robotic arms uses cells from a severed human hand to print

With an inanimate object like a coffee mug a 3-D scanner can create a CAD file in minutes

Sensing an opportunity Autodesk has teamed with Organovo to develop CAD programs that could be applied to bioprinting.

As a first step Autodesk plans to create a modern cloud-based CAD shell to help streamline the design process.

In April Olguin's team released Project Cyborg a Web-based platform geared toward nanoscale molecular modeling and simulations for cellular biology.

Perhaps scientists say bioprinters could even enable bionic organs body parts that don't just restore but extend human ability.

In a similar manner bioengineers might one day incorporate sensors into other tissues for example creating a bionic meniscus that can monitor strain.

GPS would immediately stop working and at least 12 of those satellites would come crashing to Earth.

Strictly speaking this is valid for'low'earth orbits only such as the GPS satellites'.'Very high orbits (in the range of 100.000 of km) actually will become more'round'as the nonlinear effects of the sun's gravity field fall away.

GPS precision would be affected but no satellite would have a significant change on his orbit
