Neutrino production in proton-proton collisions supports the rotating lepton model

Direct observation of neutrino production in proton-proton (pp) collisions at CERN LHC lend strong support to the Rotating Lepton Model, Constantinos G. Vayenas(1), Dionysios Tsousis(1,2) and Eftyhia Martino1 ((1)University of Patras, (2)Stanford University) tell us.

Microfluidic microbial bioreactors: How studying microbes at the microscale can help empower microbiology

Long before the existence of microbes was known, humans were unknowingly harnessing their power through practices such as brewing, bread leavening, or cheesemaking. These processes extended the shelf life of food, enhanced its nutritional value, and significantly contributed to the advancement of industry and civilization.

Figure 1: Loosely based on the Abernathy-Utterback representation of the innovation pipeline of research software delivery models. Each curve is a model taken from experience and anecdotal evidence. Key: a,) The first stored memory computer is created b,) Grace Hopper and others develop programming languages and numerical methods c,) Teams of mathematicians develop research software, e.g., Dorothy Vaughan see Disney’s film Hidden Figures d,) Open source repository of numerical methods on punch cards collected from academic researchers by Rutherford Appleton Labs as a funding requirement e,) JISC funds research software development in faculty and IT services at universities where funding is along computing expertise, e.g., HPC, visualisation f,) eScience is funding initially to natural and then to social science for centralised teams funding is along research council remit g,) centralised generalised RSE teams are promoted over other models funded by Universities, RSE identified as technicians and more women join the profession h,) slow steady adoption of RSE in national research facilities.
