  1. Virtual Special Issue On Biochar

    23 May 2012 - 05:18 PM


    Virtual Special Issue on Biochar
    Posted ImageCompiled by: Richard Burns, The University of Queensland, Australia and Karl Ritz, Cranfield University, UK

    Over the past few years, the impact of adding pyrolysed organic carbon (or biochar as we usually call it) to agricultural soils has received much attention from biologists because of the possible benefits arising to soil quality and crop yields. A further impetus has been the potential to gain carbon credits by carbon sequestration. There are many different forms of biochar, determined according to such factors as nature of source material and pyrolysis temperature. Some studies have shown that biochars can apparently improve a number of soil chemical and physical properties, including exchange capacity and nutrient retention, as well as structure, water relations and nutrient availability. Others have concentrated on the impacts of biochar on soil organisms and the attendant processes that they regulate.

    The 29 papers presented in this Virtual Special Issue are a selection of those exploring this biochar theme and which have been published in Soil Biology & Biochemistry since 2009. They illustrate the diversity of such research as well as some of the warmly debated, but as yet equivocal, benefits. The subjects of these communications range from: impacts on community composition and C dynamics including the priming effect, nitrogen cycling processes, enzyme activities and the C cycle, to the impacts of biochar on earthworms and their activities, and, of course, effects on plant growth and yield.

    We hope that collating these publications under one virtual roof will stimulate informed debate and accelerate the arrival at a consensus regarding whether biochar is an important addition to our much-needed agricultural armoury or a passing trend with no lasting value or consequences for environmental management.

  2. Not-Quite-So Elementary, My Dear Electron

    20 April 2012 - 02:27 AM


    Not-quite-so elementary, my dear electron
    Fundamental particle ‘splits’ into quasiparticles, including the new ‘orbiton’.

    This just did my head in

  3. E=Mc2? Not On Conservapedia

    04 April 2012 - 08:37 AM

    http://www.newscient...servapedia.html

    Religious believers have quite the love/hate relationship with Albert Einstein. Some quote the physicist's comments about God not playing dice with the universe to support their own views – despite the fact that Einstein himself said, "I do not believe in a personal God." One young-Earth creationist site even uses an Einstein quote in a diatribe against evolution. Now the pendulum is swinging over to hate as Einstein goes the way of Darwin, becoming an unlikely enemy of some on the religious right.

    It seems that the folks at Conservapedia – a sort of conservative alternative to the more familar online encyclopedia Wikipedia – are not fans of Einstein's most famous theory, general relativity. In fact, they view it as a far-reaching liberal conspiracy.

  4. Question Over Theory Of Lunar Formation

    27 March 2012 - 06:06 PM

    Posted Imagechemical analysis of lunar rocks may force scientists to revise the leading theory for the Moon's formation: that the satellite was born when a Mars-sized body smacked into the infant Earth some 4.5 billion years ago.

    If that were the case, the Moon ought to bear the chemical signature of both Earth and its proposed 'second' parent. But a study published today in Nature Geoscience1suggests that the Moon’s isotopic composition reflects only Earth's contribution.

    Junjun Zhang at the University of Chicago in Illinois and her colleagues used a mass spectrometer to make the most precise measurement so far of the relative abundance of titanium-50 and titanium-47 in Moon rocks gathered by the Apollo missions in the 1970s. The authors report that the lunar ratio of the two isotopes is identical to that found in Earth’s mantle, within about 4 parts per million

  5. Are Lawyers Peer Reviewing Science Now?

    14 March 2012 - 01:54 AM

    Surely this is a hoax?????
    "ScienceInsider got hold of a threatening letter that lawyers for the mining industry sent to various scientific journals (PDF) concerning data from the U.S. 'Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study.' Many occupationalhealth researchers believe the study will show a link between diesel exhaust and cancer. A handful of scientists have commented on the letter and its implications."http://science.slash...ntific-journals

    Michaelangelica-- I want to thank you for the guidance you gave me in improving my arguement about Cascara and its dangers. Also, I was delighted with the published articles that you sent me. I'm so happy someone didn't just try to shoot me down. Look forward to hearing from you again. Wheely will

    still no Violets. This may save me a fortune. I won't buy all the rare Violet seed I have found on the WWW !

    Eyes are too hard. Celandine was used folklorically but i wouldn't recommend it. Do they have macular degeneration,(my head is in the way!) degeneration, glaucoma or cataracts? The best thing with everyone over say 45 is to have regular check-ups with an eye specialist--not a optometrist. By regualr I mean every 2 years and then every year after 65. It is too hard loosing your sight when you are old. Some recommend dietary supplements but i am not sure what they are. In the herbal tradition/history most people were dead by 45!

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
