The Muse

The HILL-SCAN 30XX boards can be used in different PCs. Desktop- and tower-PCs as well suited for laboratory uses. For in-field inspections rugged notebooks and portable PCs are advantageous. A typical portable system is shown in Fig. 2 (USPC 3010), used in MUSE (Mobile Ultrasonic Equipment). This portable PC not only contains the boards for ultrasonic testing but also a controller with power supply for stepper motors, so that a manipulator can be connected directly. The MUSE system is enlarged with a water circulation system which enables a local immersion technique" for in-field inspections. A typical result is shown in Fig. 3, which presents a D-scan of a CFRP- component in RTM-techniques. The defect area caused by an impact is clearly indicated. The manipulator is described in [3].

This is well illustrated by the study of a sample from the Dogon statuette 73.1964.3.39 from the Musee du Quai Branly (Paris) [Mazel et al. 2006]. A multi-method protocol was performed on complex samples of patina from African art. ToF-SIMS was coupled with infrared microspectrometry and SEM. Different kinds of compounds were found in the sample. 

I can almost hear some of the musings of the unbelievers After all, this study was done by psychiatrists. Who knows, maybe they absent-mindedly moved the decimal points. In any case, the new treatment method did not make it into mainstream American psychiatry, much less general medical practice. Nor did the good news that physostigmine was an effective antidote for atropine delirium. (Incidentally, I met Forrer s colleague. Dr. Miller, in 1981, 30 years after their first publications about atropine coma therapy. He was invited to... 

The corrosion of the stainless steel by the acid layer was thought to have promoted the polymerization, but the muse was the low level of inhibitor if the inhibitor level had been correct, the presence of the iron would not have mattered. 

Because my master has taught me much curious wisdom about handwriting. The first letter must have been written under great stress. The latest one sounds like the musings of a very happy man, even if he does have worries about his wife s lying-in. The writing should show that. Even at this distance I can perceive that he is left-handed. ... 

Obliged to leave school at the age of eighteen years, he became an apprentice in the Bandry apothecary shop located at the intersection of Rue Pemelle and Rue Saint Denis in Paris. Here his ready knowledge of chemistry enabled him to save the life of a man who had swallowed arsenic in an attempt at suicide (21, 22). In 1872 Moissan decided to give up his position at the pharmacy in order to study under Edmond Fremy at the Musee d Histoire Naturelle. Here he not only made rapid progress in chemistry and pharmacy, but also became a connoisseur of art and litera-... 

Questing for the muse s spring, up some cold canyon, stormdrain, up bloodvessels, canyonwalls of flesh, rhythms surging in the darkness-the home of the leaves, their nest within the soul even consciousness needs a soul. The plants have consciousness, but no souls. For some of them, that isn t enough. 

Snub Prisms is also called Diirer octahedron (see it on the painting Melencolia I by Dtirer, 1514, depicting the muse of mathematics at work) and it can be obtained by truncating Cube on two opposite vertices.

The nice thing about science is that authority is easy to locate it s in the library. Watson and Crick s work on DNA structure can be tracked down and read in Nature. The structure of cholesterol and other things can be found there as well. So we can say we know the structure of DNA or cholesterol based on scientific authority if papers on those topics are in the literature. If James Watson or a Presidential Science Commission decreed that DNA was made of green cheese, however, but didn t publish supporting evidence in the literature, then we could not say that a belief in cheesy DNA was based on scientific authority. Scientific authority rests on published work, not on the musings of individuals. Moreover, the published work must also contain pertinent evidence. If Watson published a bare statement about the curdled composition of DNA in a paper largely devoted to something else, but provided no relevant support, then we still have no scientific authority to back up the claim.

The book was written in dead earnest by two individuals struggling to come to grips with a deluge of ideas triggered by a very personal and idiosyncratic experience. No one is more aware than myself that certain passages read like the musings of a naive and...
