Does this burning of the peat create additional environmental problems for the air quality in Ireland or directly affect the Global Warming, by sending large amounts of pollutions towards the Ozone Layers?

I am just trying to correctly understand some of the energy needs of the Irish people, from the people themselves, and not what the government or corporations will say.

Honest answers are appreciated, and Thank You!

It seems strange to me that fire of that intensity burning
for days, and destroying homes by the thousands, in those
areas of California, could'nt just start on it's own with drought
and dry vegitation as the origin. I think a chemical ignited
is possible cause of starting that kind of burning. What do
you think? Arson! or not!

Ok we did an experiment on agglutination, whereby rabbits had been immunized with sheep red blood cells. We measured the agglutination titres of immune and non immune sera.

During the experiment we set up control wells, containing 0.2ml dilution buffer and 0.2ml cell suspension. The result was negative. But what is the purpose of the control wells, what does this prove? And how would I write this in my report? Thanku, just really stuck on this bit..xx

The result below is not very known:

Let f:I -> R be differentiable on the open (non empty) interval I. Then, there exists a subinterval of I where f is Lipschitz.

Actually I think this is true under a less rigid assumption. I think the conclusion remains true if, instead of full differentiabilty on I, we assume the existence of the Dini derivatives, that is, suppose that, for every x of I, f is differentiable at least at x+ or x-, not necessarily at both.

A recent question about changing asteroids' orbits is in line with my own thoughts lately. It seems to me that with enough advanced warning, an ion thruster could be landed on an asteroid and used to divert its orbit enough to take it out of harm's way.

Thinking of the reason that Pluto will never collide with Neptune, I thought that possibly inclining an asteroid's orbit might be easier than raising its apehelion above 1au.

Unfortunately, I don't know all the formulas involved so it's not a simple answer for me. Assuming diverting orbits of Neo's as a given, which would be better - increasing their energy to stay outside Earth's orbit, or inclining them off of the ecliptic so that there is no intersection.

NEW YORK - James Watson, famous for DNA research but widely condemned for recent comments about intelligence levels among blacks, retired Thursday from his post at a prestigious research institution.

Watson, 79, and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York announced his departure a week after the lab suspended him. He was chancellor of the institution, and his retirement took effect immediately.

Watson shared a Nobel Prize with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins in 1962 for co-discovering the structure of the DNA molecule. He is one of America's most prominent scientists.

In his statement Thursday, Watson said that because of his age, his retirement was "more than overdue. The circumstances in which this transfer is occurring, however, are not those which I could ever have anticipated or desired."

This bug is black and looks like spider to me, probably about 3" in diameter (including the legs)but since it jumped on my face I didn't really get a good look at it. My boyfriend insists that it was some type of cricket. Then we just saw another one - very long legs and when my bf when to swich it would jump away. I live in northern NJ and have never seen this bug. Does anyone know? I searched online, but no luck Thanks.
