Texas doom metal veterans SOLITUDE AETURNUS will headline the Hammer Of Doom 4 festival, set to take place October 23, 2010 at Posthalle in Würzburg, Germany.

SKYCLAD, the seminal British band which is often referred to as "the originator of folk metal," has been confirmed for this year's Sweden Rock Festival festival, set to take place June 9-12, 2010 in Sölvesborg in southern Sweden.

From the UK's Sonodrome, the Posc handheld electronic musical instrument:

The Posc is a battery powered, pocket sized oscillator. It has two square wave oscillators, one of which is controlled by changes in the user's skin resistance over two metal contacts. The pitch of the second square wave oscillator is controlled by manipulating the amount of light received by the light dependent resistor. The Posc can be set to work in either stereo or mono output through a standard 1/4" audio jack, so is compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. It is ideal for use with guitar amplifiers and effects pedals, PA systems, and can even be plugged directly into your computer or Hi-Fi audio inputs....A free effects rack for the Posc is also available from our software page.

Check out the Posc and other cool DIY music kits in the Sonodrome Makers Market store.

Virtually every driver will, at some point, get that sinking feeling that comes when your car doesn't start. Digging out a set of jumper cables to boost a battery is a rite of passage. Jump-starting a car can be a slightly tricky process, though. The positive and negative terminals of the booster and "boostee" need to be connected properly or the battery can be blown up. Which is, you know, sub-optimal. Over the past decade, a number of devices have come out to help ease the battery-jumping process, including portable booster batteries and even jumper cables that plug into a 12V outlet inside the car. Those plug-in cables will never be connected with reverse polarity, but they might not be able to carry enough current to actually crank your engine.

Enter the Michelin Smart Jumper Cable. Instead of the usual color-coded clamps for your battery's positive and negative terminals, the cables are all Michelin blue. Halfway down the cable is a box of electronic smarts. Just put one clamp on the positive terminal of the battery and the other on any piece of bare metal and the electronics will detect whether you've made a complete circuit and illuminate an LED on the central box. When the second battery is connected, the electronics automatically determine the polarity and switch it as needed. A set of these smart jumper cables runs about $30 to $40.

The use of nanoscale materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanorods) for electrochemical biosensing has seen explosive growth in recent years following the discovery of carbon nanotubes by Sumio Ijima in 1991. Although the resulting label-free sensors could potentially simplify the molecular recognition process, there are several important hurdles to be overcome. These include issues of validating the biosensor on statistically large population of real samples rather than the commonly reported relatively short synthetic oligonucleotides, pristine laboratory standards or bioreagents; multiplexing the sensors to accommodate high-throughput, multianalyte detection as well as application in complex clinical and environmental samples. This article reviews the status of biomolecular recognition using electrochemical detection by analyzing the trends, limitations, challenges and commercial devices in the field of electrochemical biosensors. It provides a survey of recent advances in electrochemical biosensors including integrated microelectrode arrays with microfluidic technologies, commercial multiplex electrochemical biosensors, aptamer-based sensors, and metal-enhanced electrochemical detection (MED), with limits of detection in the attomole range. Novel applications are also reviewed for cancer monitoring, detection of food pathogens, as well as recent advances in electrochemical glucose biosensors.

The aim of this paper is to find useful relationships in differential form that describe the isothermal steady state interactions between a sensor array based on metal oxide sensors and a mixture of vapours. These equations of state relate the variation of partial molar intensive quantities (as the change of the sensor molar partial sensitivity or molar adsorptions enthalpy), to gas mixture components concentrations and sensor array parameters. This kind of equalities is known in the thermodynamic of miscellaneous as Gibbs–Duhem equations.

We perform feature selection (FS) on an electronic nose (EN) dataset composed of 30 features, obtained by extracting 5 diverse features from the response curves of six metal oxide sensors. The 5 features are: the classical relative change in resistance R / R 0 ; the curve integral both over the gas adsorption and desorbtion process and the phase space integral, again over adsorption and desorbtion. The phase space integral is a novel feature introduced in [1] . We show that performance (in terms of the cross validated test error of a three nearest neighbour classifier) is always significantly better for the best selected features than for all 30 features. Moreover – for some of the 5 features types – performance with all 30 features is worse than performance with just the 6 features of a single type. Results are not univocal regarding the best feature type. Yet, on average over the four datasets in which the complete dataset can be decomposed, the phase integral calculated over the desorption wins. Also, the features (phase and integral) calculated on the desorbtion seem to consistently give higher performance than the corresponding features calculated during adsorption. The standard R / R 0 stands in the lower part of the ranking.

Deviating from the way we would expect Sega to mark the 32X's 15th anniversary -- by trying really hard to forget about the 32X, just like every year -- the company has announced a CD full of music from 32X games. The Super 32X 15th Anniversary Album includes what looks to be all the tracks from Space Harrier, Stellar Assault, Virtua Racing Deluxe, Parasquad, Metal Head, and Virtua Fighter, all as they sounded on the 32X.

The CD will be released through Sega's Wavemaster label on March 31 for ¥3,625 ($40), which is more than you should pay for a 32X system.

Publication Date: 2010 Mar 18 PMID: 20237566Authors: Li, J. F. - Huang, Y. F. - Ding, Y. - Yang, Z. L. - Li, S. B. - Zhou, X. S. - Fan, F. R. - Zhang, W. - Zhou, Z. Y. - Wu de, Y. - Ren, B. - Wang, Z. L. - Tian, Z. Q.Journal: NatureSurface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopy technique that can provide non-destructive and ultra-sensitive characterization down to single molecular level, comparable to single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy. However, generally substrates based on metals such as Ag, Au and Cu, either with roughened surfaces or in the form of nanoparticles, are required to realise a substantial SERS effect, and this has severely limited the breadth of practical applications of SERS. A number of approaches have extended the technique to non-traditional substrates, most notably tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) where the probed substance (molecule or material surface) can be on a generic substrate and where a nanoscale gold tip above the substrate acts as the Raman signal amplifier. The drawback is that the total Raman scattering signal from the tip area is rather weak, thus limiting TERS studies to molecules with large Raman cross-sections. Here, we report an approach, which we name shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, in which the Raman signal amplification is provided by gold nanoparticles with an ultrathin silica or alumina shell. A monolayer of such nanoparticles is spread as 'smart dust' over the surface that is to be probed. The ultrathin coating keeps the nanoparticles from agglomerating, separates them from direct contact with the probed material and allows the nanoparticles to conform to different contours of substrates. High-quality Raman spectra were obtained on various molecules adsorbed at Pt and Au single-crystal surfaces and from Si surfaces with hydrogen monolayers. These measurements and our studies on yeast cells and citrus fruits with pesticide residues illustrate that our method significantly expands the flexibility of SERS for useful applications in the materials and life sciences, as well as for the inspection of food safety, drugs, explosives and environment pollutants.post to: CiteULike

Casio has been in the timepiece business for quite a fair number of years already, and most of us would have fond memories of a digital watch from Casio, although these days it seems to be imported from China instead of its spiritual home, Japan. Ah well, their range of G-Shock watches are also a cause to celebrate, since those are some tough devices which can withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle. This time round, Casio America takes the next step forward in the world of watches with its latest addition to the Pathfinder collection, otherwise known as the PAG110C-3. This new Pathfinder will definitely appeal to those who constantly brave the great outdoors, but it also has a conscience since it is eco-conscious with features such as solar technology and recycled packaging.

After all, having your watch die out on you while you’re in the lush forest in the middle of nowhere can be quite a frightening thought. So why not throw in some solar panels to make sure the watch has enough juice to keep going? We wonder whether they will come up with a hybrid mechanism that relies not only on kinetic energy to keep the timepiece ticking, but a solar panel as well for another alternative source of renewable energy. The PRG110C-3 will incorporate Casio’s Tough Solar Technology which increases battery life via the regeneration of electrical power from sunlight. This will help decrease battery consumption associated with traditional watches, which in turn assists in cutting down over three billion batteries thrown away each year by Americans – at least that is what the Environmental Protection Agency say. Basically, you wil decrease the presence of heavy metals in landfills which cause toxic contamination to the environment if you pick up this digital watch.

Despite being eco-conscious, this Pathfinder timepiece retains its core features, with the PAG110C-3 boasting advanced outdoor capabilities such as a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer, where all of it are more than capable of meeting the needs of the serious outdoorsman. You will also be able to enjoy five daily alarms, a stopwatch and world time in 30 cities. Is it raining, or do you have to forge rivers? Fret not – the watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and low temperature resistant as well. Each Casio PAG110C-3 will retail for $250 as an exclusive item on Amazon.com.
