      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ist Alter eine reine Frage der Anzahl Lebensjahre oder ist Alter eine Frage der Gesundheit, der Beweglichkeit, der Muskelkraft oder zählt die geistige Aktivität und Alertness mehr und wie misst man dann das Alter. Und: Altern heute die Menschen wirklich langsamer als früher, oder sind sie nur gesünder oder ist die medizinische Versorgung einfach besser/gut?</p>
<p>Es gibt viele Aspekte, setzt man diese in Relation zueinander, gibt es einen Wert oder verschiedene?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lawlessness is chaotic experience. Governments imposed laws to restore order. Life is protected by law. By protecting life law gives the visible order in the world. When we say life is protected everything that is alive is protected. But there are laws imposed to prohibit and annihilate lives of human beings. These human beings caused disorder in the world so they should be wiped out. Now my question is, What is really the purpose of the law?</p>]]></description>

      <guid>15083</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I was struck by a recent question on Starmind according to which capital punishment was stated to be immoral these days.</p>
<p>Given increasing cost of the health sector, the aging of the population or children dying around the globe, is it really moral/ethical or economical NOT having capital punishment?</p>
<p>Calculating the costs such a prisoner may cause throughout lifetime and comparing it to capital punishment within short time, the money invested into housing/nurturing/monitoring this prisoner causes would lack for more vital or crucial inistitutions such as hospitals, schools and so on.</p>
<p>I would provocatively say that it is immoral not having capital punishment.</p>
<p><strong>In this context, are there logically founded reason against capital  punishment? </strong></p>]]></description>

      <guid>15075</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>

<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>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ich kenne etwa die Vor- und Nachteile von Inhaber- vs. Namensaktien. Wenn ich diese summiere, dann sehe ich aus Unternehmersicht nur noch wenige Vorteile für Inhaberaktien.</p>
<p>Wichtigster Kontra-Punkt: Möchte ich meine Firma verkaufen, und die Inhaberaktien kursieren wild irgendwo auf der Welt herum, dann könnte ich ein Problem haben.</p>
<p>Die Lösung via Escrew-Hinterlegung der Originale von Inhaberaktien könnte ebenfalls umgangen werden.</p>
<p><strong>Frage: </strong></p>
<ul><li>Was spricht für die Ausgabe von Inhaberaktien, bei Gründung einer AG? Ist es nicht sinnvoller, alles in Namensaktien zu belassen, ggf mit verschiedenen Stimmrechten? </li>
</ul>]]></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>

      <title><![CDATA[Another EMP question: Can you make a reusable EMP generator?]]></title>
      <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>I am a PhD psychologist in the UK and have developed a statistical system for recruiting and developing high performers in global organizations. It has been implemented in one global company to date over the past two years.</p>
<p>It is easiest to implement in sales, but can be used for any job role provided there are a reasonable number of existing people in that role already. It costs about £1m to implement.</p>
<p>How do I market it to other large organizations please? Who makes the marketing collateral, how does one target it, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

      <guid>15043</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why is it necessary to have capital letters in English?</p>
<p>Among the innumerable Indian languages, the concept of capitalisation does not exist.</p>
<p>The benefits of abolishing the capital letters in English are:</p>
<p>1&gt; Less resources wasted in manufacturing keyboards &amp; type-writers (one less key "Caps Lock")</p>
<p>2&gt; Less energy expenditure for millions of people who type in English.</p>
<p>What I am looking for are the negatives/harmful effects of abolishing capital letters. (Apart from the usual chaos that follows when changing from an established system to another) </p>
<p>P.S.: For stressing or emphasizing, simply bold or italics will do.</p>]]></description>
