1.4.6 P is for Provenance The provenance of a piece of information (i.e. who produced it? where did it come from?) may provide another useful clue to its reliability. It represents the 'credentials' of a piece of information that support its status and perceived value. It is therefore very important to be able to identify the author, sponsoring body or source of your information. Why is this important? 5.10 Vibrating air column: end effects In the previous two sections on standing waves in cylindrical tubes, we assumed that at an open end there must be a pressure node. In fact, the pressure node (and the corresponding displacement antinode) actually lies a small distance outside the tube. The effect is that the air column behaves as though it were a little longer than it really is by an amount called the end correction. Because of this end correction, the resonance frequencies will be a little lower than originally expect University of Massachusets Online Course Science Bulletins: Brown Dwarfs: Tail End of the Stars Breakingviews: Coty's beautified bid for Avon SDSU Geological Sciences - Thesis Defense - Emily Allen SDSU Geological Sciences - Thesis Defense - Robert Donohue SDSU Geological Sciences - Thesis Defense - Sara Kowalke Patrick Shih at the 2012 DOE JGI Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting Siobhan Brady at the 2012 DOE JGI Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting Comunitats d'aprenentatge.

Description not set
Journey to the heights of Mauna Kea in Hawaii where astronomers search for brown dwarfs, cosmic bodies that are not quite stars and not quite planets. These long-sought objects are still elusive and visible largely with advanced technologies such as the adaptive optics tools on the Keck II telescope.
Antony Currie and Breakingviews columnists mull whether the fragrance maker's higher offer and Berkshire Hathaway's support are enough to turn Avon's head.

If ever an opera is written about dirt, look for soil scientist Ann Kennedy's name in the credits. If she's not the lyricist, she'll be the enthusiastic backer.
"I love dirt," she said with a laugh. "I'm always, constantly, taking up handfuls of soil and smelling it."
Kennedy, a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Research Service and an adjunct faculty member in crop and soil sciences at Washington State University, talks about dirt the way some people ta
