GTP USB PIC PROGRAMMER
Posted on: 01 Feb 2014
This work includes, GTP USB (not plus or lite) . The schematic, photos and PCB have been developed by PICMASTERS based on some valuable works done before. This programmer supports pic10F, 12F, 16C, 16F, 18F,24Cxx Eeprom. Unfortunately, it works with only Winpic800 v.355. We have succesfully tried it with some pics; PIC18F252, 18F2455, 18F2550, 18F2520, […]
Technique is safer, faster way to diagnose horse eye problems
Posted on: 31 Jan 2014
(Phys.org) —Horses face high risks of developing eye problems, and Cornell clinicians have developed a new way to detect and diagnose them more safely and quickly than before. Published online in January in the journal Veterinary Ophthalmology, their findings are the first to show how horses with microscopic foreign objects in their eyes can benefit from in vivo corneal confocal microscopy, a human medical technique that allows doctors to take pictures of living eyes in microscopic detail without a scratch.
A Remotely Programable Relay Controller
Posted on: 31 Jan 2014
What was that? A Whats-a-Maja-Thimagig? Yep – One of those! This Instructable extends my Arduino Ethernet controller to control a set of up to 6 relays, but that’s not the neat bit. The neat bit is that there is a web based state machine in the AtMega chip so that the relays will operate in […]
Brushes with law live on, thanks to mug-shot websites
Posted on: 30 Jan 2014
In 2010, Zim Rogers was waiting to hear from his bosses about whether he would be promoted. Rogers, who works in global securities, said that instead of getting a better job, he was fired after a cursory Google search turned up an 11-year-old mug shot and records in Florida of an arrest on suspicion of drunk driving and driving without a license – charges that were later reduced to misdemeanors and dismissed, his attorney said.
Capitol chemistry: How Congress will alter the science landscape in 2014
Posted on: 29 Jan 2014
The Congressional agenda for 2014 includes science issues with far-reaching implications for an array of issues including public health, job growth, pharmaceutical research and energy, according to an article in Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society. The mid-term elections occurring this fall, however, promise to complicate progress on key legislative efforts, already stymied by a bitter partisan atmosphere.
Open Source Microchip LED / PWM Driver Project
Posted on: 29 Jan 2014
This instructable fully describes building a PWM driver to control four LEDs from one small Microchip 12F609 board.The original design was called the “Kemper LED Lamp” and I sold a few lamps to several brave folks through my web site. However, I’ve come to discover selling small quantities to a few folks is a major […]
Protein modifies thyroid hormone levels according to body temperature
Posted on: 29 Jan 2014
The thyroid hormone thyroxine, which controls our day-to-day activity and was previously believed to remain at a constant level in the blood, actually fluctuates as a result of a protein which modifies the release of the hormone depending on body temperature, new research reveals. The research was published today, 29 January, in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Study suggests air pollution in the Santa Monica mountains is harming native plants, increasing fire…
Posted on: 28 Jan 2014
(Phys.org) —Initial results from experiments conducted in the Santa Monica Mountains by a botanist at the University of California, Riverside and her colleagues indicate that high levels of nitrogen may adversely impact native plants and, by extension, increase the risk of wildfire.

Unique specimen identifiers link 10 new species of ant directly to AntWeb
Posted on: 27 Jan 2014
A team of scientists from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the University of California at Davis describe ten new species of Temnothorax ants, doubling the number of species of this genus in California. What makes this discovery even more special is that each described specimen is linked to the AntWeb database by a unique identifier.
