350 - Number 350 (Story #1), December 10, 1997 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein


QUANTUM TELEPORTATION has been experimentally demonstrated by physicists at the University of Innsbruck (Anton Zeilinger, 011-43-676-305-8608, anton.zeilinger@ uibk.ac.at; Dik Bouwmeester, Dik.Bouwmeester@uibk.ac.at). First proposed in 1993 by Charles Bennett of IBM (914-945-3118) and his colleagues, quantum teleportation allows physicists to take a photon (or any other quantum-scale particle, such as an atom), and transfer its properties (such as its polarization) to another photon--even if the two photons are on opposite sides of the galaxy. Note that this scheme transports the particle's properties to the remote location and not the particle itself. And as with Star Trek's Captain Kirk, whose body is destroyed at the teleporter and reconstructed at his destination, the state of the original photon must be destroyed to create an exact reconstruction at the other end. In the Innsbruck experiment, the researchers create a pair of photons A and B that are quantum mechanically "entangled": the polarization of each photon is in a fuzzy, undetermined state, yet the two photons have a precisely defined interrelationship. If one photon is later measured to have, say, a horizontal polarization, then the other photon must "collapse" into the complementary state of vertical polarization. In the experiment, one of the entangled photons A arrives at an optical device at the exact time as a "message" photon M whose polarization state is to be teleported. These two photons enter a device where they become indistinguishable, thus effacing our knowledge of M's polarization (the equivalent of destroying Kirk).What the researchers have verified is that by ensuring that M's polarization is complementary to A's, then B's polarization would now have to assume the same value as M's. In other words, although M and B have never been in contact, B has been imprinted with M's polarization value, across the whole galaxy, instantaneously. This does not mean that faster-than-light information transfer has occurred. The people at the sending station must still convey the fact that teleportation had been successful by making a phone call or using some other light-speed or sub-light-speed means of communication. While physicists don't foresee the possibility of teleporting large-scale objects like humans, this scheme will have uses in quantum computing and cryptography. (D. Bouwmeester et al., Nature, 11 Dec 1997; see also image at Physics News Graphics)

379 - The International Fertiliser Society - Proceeding 379 (1996)


Proceedings Menu
Development of Sulphur Deficiency in Crops and its Treatment
S P McGrath F J Zhao P J A Withers

Summary:-

Keywords: Sulphur, Sulphur nutrition, Sulphur deficiency, Sulphur fertilisers.

The incidence of sulphur (S) deficiency has increased in UK crops in the last 10 years. About a quarter to a third of experiments with grass, cereals and oilseed rape responded to S fertilisers during this period, with yield increases varying from 4 to 327%. The requirements of crops for S are updated and related to the inputs. Optimum rates of fertiliser S for winter oilseed rape are 20-30 kg/ha and 10-20 kg/ha for cereals and grass. Quality issues related to S supply can be either negative or positive. Application of S fertilisers to oilseed rape can lead to glucosinolate contents in the seed which exceed the limit for home-saved seed. On the other hand, the benefit of S on bread-making quality of wheat has now been shown under field conditions in this country. Sulphur may also have a positive influence on the quality of grain legumes and sugar beet. The need to maintain a balance and not oversupply S for crop quality and other environmental reasons is stressed.

Major reactions of S in soil are immobilisation, mobilisation (mineralisation) and leaching. These have major effects on how much S is available in soil for use by crops. Losses due to leaching can be substantial. Many different types of S fertiliser are available, containing several different chemical forms of S. This has important effects on the mode of action of each type. Elemental S-containing fertilisers need to be oxidised before they can be taken up by crops. Progress has been made in understanding the factors affecting the rate of oxidation of elemental S and the groups of organisms responsible for this process in different types of soil. Animal manures contain 5, however, its availability to crops has not been quantified yet.

Methods of predicting whether crops are likely to require S fertilisers include computer modelling, soil tests and plant tissue analysis. A risk assessment model indicates that a significant proportion of the UK is potentially deficient in 5, particularly light and coarse textured soils and that this area will increase in future due to decreased atmospheric emissions. Soil testing has been shown to be useful for crops such as oilseed rape with high S requirements but less reliable for other crops such as cereals. Plant tissue analysis is often made on late vegetative growth and is therefore too late for the current crop. Fe give reliable predictions, a combination of these different approaches needs to be considered, particularly when the aim is to give local site and soil-specific diagnosis.

Because S deficiency is a relatively new phenomenon in this country, there are many gaps in knowledge. Research recommendations to enable a more rational use of sulphur fertilisers are presented.

388 is a triangular number and the sum of a pair of twin primes (149 + 151), as well as the sum of ten consecutive primes (13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47). It is also a Harshad number.

So the answer Eve is no!

392 - Is some sort of code for a school in New York

A few years ago, District 23 suffered a brain drain, as many top 5th graders deserted the district and enrolled at such middle schools as Philippa Schuyler in District 32 and Mark Twain in District 21. To stem the flow, the district -- now part of Region 5 - created its own middle school for gifted students, IS 392, located on the fourth floor of the popular PS 156. Every school should be so beautiful. A soaring wall of windows overlooks a playground, while a gracious doublewide staircase leads to a gymnasium and dance studio. Well-equipped science labs, a dark room, kiln-filled art studios and equipment for a soon-to-be-set-up recording studio complete the picture.

With just 100 students per grade and studious-looking children wearing the required burgundy and gray outfits, IS 392 is pleasant and well-ordered. The school day is extended by one hour four times weekly, twice for academics, twice for activities like band, art, and journalism. High achievement is expected: tests scoring below 75 need parental signatures and course grades below 80 are considered unacceptable. Grade inflation is unknown: The posted gold honor roll for those with averages above 90 listed only two names.

Many teachers show creativity, among them a popular math teacher who made a math formula out of the day's date. Writing assignments often revolve around subjects of interest to adolescents, such as whether the school cafeteria would be a good venue for the 8th grade prom. (Kids gave an unmistakable thumbs-down to that idea in well-reasoned essays.)

Classes connect art to social studies, so projects are abundant. Children studying slavery made Popsicle-stick models of slave ships complete with tinfoil "shackles." Eighth graders studying the Civil War created paper quilts after learning that slaves would display the patchworks to alert others to such secrets as the arrival of representatives of the Underground Railroad.

There are a half-dozen new teachers and, although sympathetic mentors help them, classroom management is a struggle, as it is for many new to the profession. During our visit a few resorted to tactics such as sending a child to stand in the hallway or yelling at those who failed to line up properly. Others have clearly found their calling. "I'm much more satisfied now...and a lot more tired," said a math teacher who used to work on Wall Street.

Relations between IS 329 and PS 156 are harmonious. "We function as one school community," said Principal Shirley Wheeler, who used to work at the elementary school. Each school has its own cafeteria - something the IS 392 students told us they appreciated - and the building-proud custodian pitches in to monitor the lunchrooms. "We're part of the school family," he told us.

Admissions: Students who score a 3 or 4 on the standardized math and ELA exams are eligible to take an entrance exam. Preference is given to District 23 students and then to other districts in the region. In 2004, 175 students applied for 100 slots in 6th grade, and 80 kids for 15 slots in 7th grade. (This school is featured in New York City's Best Public Middle Schools. Pamela Wheaton, February 2004)

Important Reminder: Insideschools is a non-profit organization and our foundation funding for these services is coming to an end soon! Please - we now ask every family who uses this website to consider a tax-deductible donation. Any size contribution will help us continue our work at this critical time. Please click here to donate

393 - Tip 393: Multiple profiles

"Do you use multiple profiles in Outlook? If you go into Control Panel, Mail and select your most used profile in the Always use this profile dropdown, then change it to Always ask... the profile listed when you first start Outlook will be the one you selected and you'll have the option of choosing a different profile.

If you prefer to use shortcuts to open Outlook, you can configure it to open Outlook using a specific profile. Use the command line switch /profile profile_name and replace profile_name with your profile's name. This also works with the Start menu, Run command. Type outlook.exe /profile profile_name in the run box to open Outlook using a specific profile."


*Found whilst yo-yoing about in google for the number 393

397- Criterion Collection DVd number 397 is Ivan's Childhood - Andrei Tarkovsky

The debut feature from the great Andrei Tarkovsky, Ivans Childhood is an evocative, poetic journey through the shadows and shards of one boys war-torn youth. Moving back and forth between the traumatic realities of WWII and the serene moments of family life before the conflict began, Tarkovskys film remains one of the most jarring and unforgettable depictions of the impact of violence on children in wartime.

399 - The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC

On a day in 399 BC the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 of his fellow Athenians accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and "of corrupting the youth." If found guilty; his penalty could be death. The trial took place in the heart of the city, the jurors seated on wooden benches surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Socrates' accusers (three Athenian citizens) were allotted three hours to present their case, after which, the philosopher would have three hours to defend himself.

Socrates was 70 years old and familiar to most Athenians. His anti-democratic views had turned many in the city against him. Two of his students, Alcibiades and Critias, had twice briefly overthrown the democratic government of the city, instituting a reign of terror in which thousands of citizens were deprived of their property and either banished from the city or executed

After hearing the arguments of both Socrates and his accusers, the jury was asked to vote on his guilt. Under Athenian law the jurors did not deliberate the point. Instead, each juror registered his judgment by placing a small disk into an urn marked either "guilty" or "not guilty." Socrates was found guilty by a vote of 280 to 220.

The jurors were next asked to determine Socrates' penalty. His accusers argued for the death penalty. Socrates was given the opportunity to suggest his own punishment and could probably have avoided death by recommending exile. Instead, the philosopher initially offered the sarcastic recommendation that he be rewarded for his actions. When pressed for a realistic punishment, he proposed that he be fined a modest sum of money. Faced with the two choices, the jury selected death for Socrates.

The philosopher was taken to the near-by jail where his sentence would be carried out. Athenian law prescribed death by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. Socrates would be his own executioner
