      <guid>15066</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Love is one of the utmost element that optimizes the nature of our life. The existence of this feeling exudes a sense of hope of the occuring on an event depending to the logic of the previous event. Some conveys the hallmark of this feeling is due to the existence of free will, while some made a statement of its presence is the a biological resultant due to the presence of our coordinate and response system, endocrinally or neurally. But one thing for certain, the idea of this feeling are inevitable even by concious control.</p>
<p>The questions are, is the nature of love is such of logic and this hyphothesis may contribute to an the invention that capable to determine the magnitude of a given action involving love by fixed algortithm and knowledges since the idea of logic itself are fixed?</p>
<p> If love is an aspect that presence upon itself due to the logical condition of our surrounding depending on a given event, is this event something that had been fixed by logical state of universe that the presence itself is just a matter of time for one to figure out?</p>
<p>And finally, since love is one of the basic essence that is compulsory to the invention of superior Artificial Intelligence, will this be done and what is the obligatory event needed to trigger this element to such pre-non-living organism?</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.starmind.com/question/15065/family-housework-monitoring-system-who-has-to-do-the-dishes-next</link>
      <guid>15065</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Starminds,</p>
<p>here i forward a question from my office mate, which is mathematically quite nice.</p>
<p>The starting point is his system to monitor the equal effort done in the housework between him and his wife. They have a measure with their names at both ends. Every time someone does a task, he/she moves a pin one unit step towards his/her name. The goal is to keep the family harmonic by keeping the pin more or less in the middle between the two names. </p>
<p>Currently their son is too young to be introduced to cleaning the bathrooms, but there will come a day, when he has to be incorporated into that system. And maybe, he will get siblings...</p>
<p>So, here comes the question:</p>
<p><strong>How has a three or more member solution of the above monitioring system to look like?</strong></p>
<p>Mathematically, this means: is there a way to build a manifold in 2D, embedded in 3D obviously, that keeps the sum of distances to three particular points fixed? How does it look like? How is the pin moved on that manifold?</p>
<p>Not necessary for the full rating of the solution are the additional tasks: How about more than three points? Is there a way to incorporate a weighting such that the little one has only to do a fraction of his parents housework? More explicitly: Is it possible to design the manifold such that a unit step towards one name draws away the pin from the other names in a nonequal manner?</p>
<p>have fun!</p>
<p>   Hecke</p>]]></description>

      <guid>15064</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>
</p><p>
</p><ul><li>Linen is a fiber made from the Flex plant, I have read that these Flex fibers’ cellulose contain up to 6 million member chains (monomers) while cotton contains 2-3 million.</li>
<li><span>In the process of manufacturing Nitrocellulose (either military or domestic grades), <span><span>Long Staple</span> </span></span>cotton lint is used as a source of cellulose because it’s cellulose chains are long and will contain more nitro groups if nitrated.</li>
</ul><p> </p>
<p><strong><span>The question:</span></strong></p>
<p></p><ol><li>Why not use Flex fibers as a cellulose source for the production of Nitrocellulose?</li>
<li>And if done, will the product have better or worse properties for the mentioned uses?</li>
</ol><p><span>Thank you.</span></p>

<p>I need a couple of important reasons and, for each, a little explanation (no more than 100 words). I don't want links, please write in your own simple words.</p>
<p><span>PS:</span> It would be interesting to know why, before being Atheists, they choose to leave a certain religion too.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a geometrical quest for the buried treasure - details are in the attached .pdf file.</p>
<p>Remember that pirates are keen to mutiny, so if Calico Jack doesn't come up with a reasonable argument for where they should dig, he's doomed. They are also lazy, so they won't dig in more than a finite number of places. Fortunately pirates are all very well versed in elementary geometry and, if Calico Jack can show that digging a fixed number of sites will eventually yield the treasure, they will fetch their shovels and get to work.</p>]]></description>

      <guid>15053</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>My current ongoing studies on the nature of such strategical game like chess draws some interesting issues on its role in compared to the way its being played. Cross-referenced to the hallmark of some of its great players, it is easy to conclude that a thinker may be decent at this game but counter-likewise, a great player at chess may just be as good as he/she could be only to this beloved game.</p>
<p>The issues, what's the essential skills needed by all means to succeed in chess?</p>
<p>Then, by the means of your reasons, is chess a game of strategy or just a mathematically-driven solving game? (Try to look at this game as a attempt to solve a rubik's cube by one player countered by another player...as a player try to solve this cube by 3 steps at a time, afterwards, the other player will try to scramble the cube by 3 steps).</p>
<p>In toto, is the nature and purpose of Chess applicable to the realitiness of life? (Please state by the means of efficiency over purpose)</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.starmind.com/question/15051/Another-EMP-question-Can-you-make-a-reusable-EMP-generator</link>
      <guid>15051</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>EMP is usually produced when a nuclear weapon is detonated; this wave fries all unshielded electronic circuits in its path.</p>
<p><span>There is another way of generating such a wave using some devises like</span><span><span> </span></span><span><span>EPFCG (explosively pumped flux compression generator), but as you can see from the name it mainly depends on an <strong>explosive</strong> charge and it is not reusable (destroyed after use).</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>I’ve came across another device called “<span>HAGII-C</span>” which produces EMP with <strong>no detonation involved</strong>. (Attached picture)</span></span><span></span></p>
<p><strong><span>The question:</span></strong></p>
<p><span><em>How does this device -HAGII-C- work (what happens inside its shell)?</em></span></p>
<p><span><em>What is the physics concept that this device rely on?</em></span></p>
<p><span><em>What are these rings for? And why are they up there? (See attached picture)</em></span></p>
<p><span><em>What is the frequency of this wave (pulse)?</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span>Answer requirements:</span></strong></p>
<p><span><em>It could be understood by collage students.</em></span></p>
<p><span><em>Draw a simple diagram explaining the device (like a draft or a schematic drawing).</em></span></p>
<p><span>Thank you.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>P.S.: EMP = Electromagnetic Pulse, and it is not produced via passing an electric current through a solenoid wrapped around a metallic rod or something (this is called electromagnet).</span></p>
<p><span>I do know now about the <span>explosively pumped flux compression generator (thanks to Mr. </span>Cesare Borgia)<span>, so please do not provide more answers relating to it.</span></span></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The problem I have with my iphone is that I need to recharge it every 24hrs or so. My iPhone-battery is not a problem as it is new and working, it is an iPhone inherent issue.</p>
<p>I usually deactivate anything that may consume battery power. I usually talk 2-3hrs a day via Iphone and use data roaming considerably. I consume around 500Mybte/month. Hence my question:</p>
<ul><li>How much gets battery-operating time reduced if I turn on WiFi for say, 1hr,  so as to be internet-online? </li>
<li>Is it better to download my email with data-roaming or should I wait for the next wifi-spot to do so so as to have a maximal operating power? </li>
</ul><p>My goal is to use as little battery power as possible to that I can make my day. Thanks a lot for your inputs!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The famous Rorschach test is administered throughout the world. My question is, <strong>How are the results monitored for different countries/cultures/education levels/age groups etc.?</strong></p>
<p>Eg.: Someone may see a Sufi dancer in a particular image, but Rorschach might have never been familiar with a Sufi dance or dancer? So on what basis are the results interpreted?</p>]]></description>

<p><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p><span>I have read that reactions involving the usage of <span><em><em><span>Raney nickel</span></em></em></span> as a catalyst are always done at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.</span></p>
<p><span>The question is:</span></p>
<p><span>What is the effect of changing the reaction parameters (temperature, pressure) for reactions using <span><em><em><span>Raney nickel</span></em></em></span><em> </em></span>as a catalyst?</p>
<p><span>Please supply a reference or a page scan to verify your answer.</span></p>
<p><span>Thank you.</span></p>]]></description>

<li>Mögliche Suchmaschinen, Datenbanken etc. (natürlich legal!) welche die Nummer enthalten könnte.</li>

      <guid>15021</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why is it that our reactions to different kinds of food are so idiosyncratic? Is it based on environmental conditioning or good/bad past experience?- or do different people vary in the physical construction of their taste-recognition faculties?</p>
<p>I know it is well-documented that our taste-buds develop as we age and different flavours become more or less desirable - I imagine that this is physical.</p>
<p>Please note that, because it is easy to provide a short answer to this such as the ones I've hinted at, I am not just looking for something that sounds plausible -- you must convince me that your claim is true either by reasoning or by citing reliable sources.</p>]]></description>

      <guid>15014</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have received an XLS file with values such as "USA", "Canada", "China" etc.-</p>
<p>I may also receive data with towns such as "New York", "Zurich", "Singapore", etc.</p>
<p>Is there an easy way to visualize those data ideally on a world map, say with points or so?</p>
<p>I am sure someone must have solved that problem, having geographical data that one needs to visualize. In the worst case I am positive that somehow the geographical coordinates could be read out and transferred into my Excel file - how could I generate such an map with dots, given that I am really not a computer expert?</p>]]></description>

      <guid>15010</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Je nach Firma in der Schweiz gelten andere Gepflogenheiten scheint es mir: </p>
<p>Ein Kunde zweifelt an, ob es rechtmässig sei, dass ein Vertragswerk gescannt (inkl Unterschrift) sei und digital übermittelt werde. Er sagt, dass nur der physische Dokumentaustausch rechtlich bindend sei.</p>
<p>Ich selber habe gehört, dass auch Faxunterschriften rechtlich bindend seien, dh, wenn ein Vertragswerk per fax übermittelt wird, muss das physische Dokument nicht nachgereicht werden.</p>
<p><strong>Frage: </strong></p>
<ul><li>Triftt dies im Falle des Fax zu? Ich suche hierbei nach Fakten, Gesetzestext oder Bundesgerichtsentscheiden. </li>
<li>Wie sieht es mit dem digitalen Austausch aus, sofern die Partner sich einigen, dass die Email Korrespondenz auch ok ist und sichergestellte werden kann, dass die Emails nicht gefälscht wurde (zb aus dem Kontext heraus und aufgrund von tel Absprachen) - wiederum: Ich suche hierbei nach Fakten, Gesetzestext oder Bundesgerichtsentscheiden. </li>
</ul><p>Danke!</p>
