Wine grapes. They covered entire tree up to 8-10 meters. I was even thinking about modifying drone, to fly and cut grapes.. They love wire fence. Red pepper, yellow pepper, and chili pepper. Lemon trees. I recommend South Africa RPA and South America Argentina species, they are very good. Thin skin fruit. Very forgivable plant. And very fast growing. I disrecommend spanish lemon. Thick skin fruit. Very thin branch (at least young plant), therefor it hates wind. Almost the all dead after year. Aronia (black chokeberry). It's good for drink with vodka. And various other fruit trees. Garlic, onion. The more info and photos of couple plants in the thread from last year: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/93636-fruits-and-vegetables-plantation/

Urgent help with persistent Chinese computer virus
Sensei replied to Function's topic in Computer Science
I am confused.. Sending data to cloud drive, is equal to releasing these data to everybody, starting from CIA, NSA, KGB, FSB etc. Can somebody bothering about his/her privacy do something the more stupid.. ? Or simply CD/DVD. They're write only. Once written data is there for a long time. And not being able to be overwritten/changed. -
Urgent help with persistent Chinese computer virus
Sensei replied to Function's topic in Computer Science
OneDrive He rather meant partition. Although, having multiple HDD/SDD, would help with hardware failure (especially when they are set up as RAID in copy mode). Unfortunately it won't work with really nasty viruses/Trojans, as they simply might scan entire system drives, and encode the all files, regardless whether they are on C:\ or D:\ or Z:\ ... The real backup must be on external, not readily accessible, medium.. -
The real knowledge (=science) is based on direct (rarely indirect, typically in astronomy and astrophysics) evidence. Math equations are derived from experimental data. Scientists are measuring some physical quantity, and recording it on the list, f.e. how it changes over time. And try to figure out math equation which would fit above curve. Anybody can repeat and check law or theory by himself/herself. And should get exactly the same data (+- some small tolerance), thus confirming usefulness of math equation in law or theory. There is no dogma, there is no omniscience, in this. You're free to show your models, laws, theories, and they will be challenged against experimental data. If they will better fit with experimental data, your work will be accepted by scientific community.

Matter in accretion disks VS higgs-boson at CERN
Sensei replied to David Levy's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
See its half-life/mean-life on wikipedia. It's extremely unstable particle.. Matter, and antimatter, is created all the time, from high energy photons, or in collisions of particles with high kinetic energy (double as much as mass of electron/positron >= 1.022 MeV).. So, it's nothing special. Without sucking matter BH would not be growing, and increasing its mass and radius. -
Chalk (for drawing on blackboards) doesn't have to be made of CaCO3. It could be CaSO4. You can check it by using acetic acid. CaCO3 reacts with CH3COOH and release CO2 gas (a lot). Yes, you can use it to dry gas. Like it's showed f.e. on this page http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/standard/chemistry/plasticsandothermaterials/fertilisers/revision/6/

Click "Quantum Physics", then on the right there is "Particles".

I would start from learning what are elementary particles, pair production of matter and antimatter, and further annihilation of matter and antimatter. Then go to fusion, and isotopes, and periodic table. How one isotope can be transformed to another isotope, another element.

You don't have ready access to Calcium Carbonate rocks.. ? It decomposes to Calcium Oxide and Carbon Dioxide CaCO3 + heat -> CaO + CO2

What's at the bottom of the ocean? Is time travel possible?
Sensei replied to Abby.r's topic in Science Education
Dead bodies of sea living animals, plants and algae, gather at the bottom of the ocean. Some of them are consumed by living organisms, some other not. Then they're covered by layer of f.e. sand. It's repeated over and over again. And after millions years, due to pressure and temperature, turns to oil & gas. -
Doppler effect depends on velocity vector (not speed, like Strange said, which is scalar). If somebody is flying toward sound/light source, he/she will find out frequency is increased, but while flying in opposite direction, he/she will find out frequency is decreased..

Virus warning from fake AV
Sensei replied to StringJunky's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
Try what I said, and you the most likely won't need to shutdown, just disable/enable WiFi/network transmission.. You didn't specify whether it happens on Windows/Mac/Android/iOS. -
Virus warning from fake AV
Sensei replied to StringJunky's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
I have seen messages that my Android device has been compromised while using mobile phone and browsing this forum. Not exactly the same thread as you, completely different threads. I think it's coming here as advertisement. There are "good" ads, which don't cause it, and from time to time, there are bad ads, and they are intercepting browser in Android phone.. After seeing one of such, immediately (without clicking anything in browser), you have to disable WiFi/transmission, shutdown browser, restart browser. It will try to open the same (this) page, but because you disabled WiFi/transmission, page won't be found. And you will be able to close tab. (This code disallows closing tab in Android web browser any way) -
There is just up to 14-16 mg/L of Oxygen dissolved in water in 0 C according to this article http://www.fondriest.com/environmental-measurements/parameters/water-quality/dissolved-oxygen/ That's ~20 times less than in 1 L of air.. How about plants? They consume CO2 and release O2.. You would have to check how much CO2 single plant consume, and how much release O2, then check how much single person would consume O2 divide one by other, and you know minimum quantity of plants do you need. How about electrolysis of water with f.e. Gold electrode? It would release Oxygen in amount controlled by current. But you would have to figure out what to do with Hydrogen also produced in the process. ps. Someone who is in a panic, consume much more Oxygen than during normal breathing..

How did all life become developed by the big bang?
Sensei replied to EmmaWhat's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
In environment with the right conditions (presence of enough high and enough low temperature, presence of clouds and thunderbolts), with the right chemical composition (CO2 or CO, CH4, H2O, N2 or NH3 or HCN), there will be created amino acids, like in Miller-Urey experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment Two amino acids, join together through a peptide bond: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_bond -
Java code, deals with strings, substrings and for loops, confused!
Sensei replied to eanna.macken's topic in Homework Help
David, did you check your code? You're using "Hello World" string with "H" letter as first character to find. But you're doing if( a > 0 )... But H is at index 0... Your examples the most likely won't work. a,b should be initialized to -1 (or use string.indexOf/string.lastIndexOf), and then check whether they are not -1... 0 is valid index. -
Java code, deals with strings, substrings and for loops, confused!
Sensei replied to eanna.macken's topic in Homework Help
You made here mistake at the end of line, there is character ; BTW, did you think about using string.indexOf() and string.lastIndexOf() instead.. ? You should not use string.replace() like you used for this task. Think what will happen if start index,end index will be very close, just single char, substring could be f.e. 'a'.. and the all occurrences of 'a' will be turned to empty string.. -
Great = great waste of money... It will be easy to bypass it, through sea, on boats, if needed. Like in Florida.

I want to learn a software that can allow me to be productive
Sensei replied to netopatineto's topic in Computer Science
Obviously what you showed is beautiful and it is art. It also requires days or even weeks of work to finish, and years of learning. Showing above result, and saying "you can make it in couple weeks" would completely discourage him from even trying 3D application. Counter-productive answer. But I was trying to convince somebody who said "I am not patient with art," that he can try non-organic 3D first, to see whether he likes it or not, and it'll be like engineering type of work (working in AutoCAD nobody would call "art", isn't? It's also 3D..) I didn't mean to insult anybody. Especially hard working artists (we all know how realistic could be modern movies). But OP clearly is not one of them (yet). It's normal that somebody who has no idea about 3D is starting from non-organic modeling. As it's fast to learn, and fast to master, and can easily be monetized. Which seems priority of OP. Organic modeling is further level of education. Here is example video of modeling organic object, dinosaur: It took more than 3 hours.. -

I want to learn a software that can allow me to be productive
Sensei replied to netopatineto's topic in Computer Science
Very wise move. Then download demo versions of 3D package, 2D gfx software, music software, and try working with them, learning tools until expiration of test period. (Google for: LightWave 3D, Cinema 4D, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender (it's free but tragic GUI), Houdini) Then download Visual Studio Express/Community, it's for free to download from Microsoft website f.e.: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146 (I recommend ISO version, to burn on DVD) Earning and living from it, would be nearly impossible, without fully finished education. And even then quite limited possibilities to get a job IMHO.. Anyone can learn making 3D objects by himself/herself. It is (or could be) more engineering type of job, than art. 3D "artists" do not have to make textures by himself/herself. You can cooperate with the real 2D artist (or photographer), or buy ready packages with them on net. 3D "artists" do not have to render 3D. They can make 3D objects, and sell them online. Additionally experience in 3D modeling will be useful for 3D printing (there is no normal art in it at all). f.e. get catalogue with houses where you have blueprints and photos with ready houses (estate developers/construction companies are giving such catalogues for free here for potential customers) Then scan/photograph blueprint with one of houses, put as backdrop/background image in 3D application, and try recreate their house in 3D package. (YouTube search for "house blueprint 3d" or so, and watch videos) Make 10 such houses from catalogue (it'll be your 3D CV portfolio), and you can get a job in the most of estate construction companies. They need 3D "artists" to make visualizations of buildings they sell. (It's called archviz interior and archviz exterior) Such house portfolio could be also useful to get a job in computer game making IT company. They need people for creating environment where players are walking. No. OpenCL is for programming GPU, processors that you have on gfx card. Okay. I would suggest starting from downloading Visual Studio Community. And try following videos: Simply pause often video (every 10-15 seconds) and repeat what he is doing by yourself in Visual Studio. -
Revolutionary Physics Experiments That Changed The world
Sensei replied to AvneetKaur's topic in Homework Help
7. Cloud Chamber.. It allowed visualization of radioactive decays, cosmic rays, and detection of plentiful of new charged particles, positron, muon, pion, kaon, etc. On this video you can see Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment performed inside of Cloud Chamber. -
Let's consider more realistic scenario. There are lonely stars ejected by f.e. black holes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergalactic_star Such star with significant velocity (perhaps even higher than galaxy escape velocity), is flying through our Solar system. If speed of gravity would be higher than speed of light (or instantaneous), we would notice arriving of rogue star (as mangling of planets orbits), prior light from it arrived..
