NV Energy Smart Meters Come Under Fire
2014-09-23 20:42:15| Semiconductors - Topix.net
State regulators have demanded NV Energy turn over data on smart meter failures as they launch a preliminary investigation into whether the 1.1 million meters they've installed on homes across Nevada pose any fire danger. The Reno Gazette-Journal first reported last week that fire investigators had documented nine fires in Reno and Sparks since 2012 that they say originated at the smart meters.
Ask Matt: Invest in Nike or Under Armour?

A: Under Armour's stock is running away with the ball this year. But betting on this fast break stock is definitely a Hail Mary play.
Research Paper: Investigating the Relationship between Gypsum Purity and Hydrogen Sulfide Production under Anaerobic Conditions
2014-09-12 18:23:00| Chemical Processing
Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4) more commonly known as gypsum is a naturally occurring white crystalline mineral that has many different uses and applications. Gypsum in its hydrated form (CaSO42H2O) is used in the construction industry for fire resistance in buildings. Outside of the construction industry, gypsum is used in the food and fertilizer industry for calcium and sulfate fortification respectively. When gypsum is no longer usable, it is deposited in construction and demolition(C&D) landfills where anaerobic (low oxygen) conditions and the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria promote the decomposition of wallboard/gypsum into hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). Due to local and state regulations on odor control, these C&D sites monitor their fill for hydrogen sulfide gas. This paper will couple two methods of analysis to observe the relationship between the purity of gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) and hydrogen sulfide concentration as a sample is fermented by sulfate-reducing agents (e.g. bacteria). The scope of this research may be beneficial for industrial hygienists concerned with C&D landfill H2S levels or for incoming gypsum processing plants who suspect poor quality gypsum.

World's rainforests could be mapped in 3D at high resolution by 2020 for under $250M
2014-09-05 23:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Mapping the world's tropical forests with a fleet of airplanes outfitted with advanced LiDAR could rapidly and accurately assess global forest carbon stocks for a fraction of the cost of a typical Earth observation satellite mission - and far less than field-based sampling - argues a new paper published in Carbon Balance and Management. The commentary, authored by a group of prominent scientists from several institutions, reviews recent progress in applying laser ranging technology (LiDAR) to...
