First Submission -Accepted
2005.12.19 7:49

I made a first submission and luckily enough it was accepted. Thank you very much for those who concerned, especially zogger who encouraged me to submit the articles. I would like to submit if I found a good article worthy of submitting.
My point in the article was,
We tend to seek for the cause of the incidents only in the limited area the incidents occurred. Probably many cases are solved within surrounding areas but some of them would be unable to be solved only in the area. In the case of atomosphere, usually global thinking is common, but when it comes to geyser, methane eruption, it is relatively hard for us to seek for global cause, from through the crust, mantel, since they are not so common as the atomosphere.
And last of all, thanks for the moderator whoever you are, whenever I opened the site I was obliged to see my Karma, previously that was -1. Now I didn't have to feel this uneasiness, and again I feel responsible. I ought not to post a comment that easily invites moderation down.
I am pround of my article's being accepted. I would like to keep on being a good contributer as ever. Thank you very much.

Not Only Pulitzer
2005.12.14 9:20

But also Nobel Prize, Kyoto Prize, too possible. More and more the source of news, journals, lengthy readings would be only inclined to the Internet. So Slashdot, Technocrat. net will be definitely the most prosperous candidate of not only the Pulitzer but also Nobel Prize. I'm not sure they will be awarded in the Nobel Prize for literature, but they are certainly worthy of receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. The end of the culture of paper is nigh.

Pivot
2005.12.14 7:41

Everything changes. -The pivot of self revolution of the Earth varies, the North & South poles also changes. The more our land is near to the North Pole, the more the temperature goes down. Sporadic climate change would perhaps occur.

Human Wisdom
2005.12.14 6:38

Roughly speaking, in macrocosm the law of relativism rules and in microcosm the quantum theory rules and here in our daily life the law of gravity rules. We have to apply completely different rules than here to invent an eternal engine. Strictly speaking there's no such engines but there must be an extremely efficient energy that is replaceable our dependency to fuel energy. I hope human wisdom will prevail beyond the limitations of our realms of living.

Robotics
2005.12.14 6:23

Robot is a characterisation of machines, cars could be a robot if we thought lights as eyes and wheels as arms and legs, and I am opposed to give them too much credence since machines are just machines. However they oftentimes show more accurate evaluation and decision than humans. Above all they are impartial, so I like them.

Digital Devide
2005.12.14 6:18

Digital devide between Korea and Japan has been increasing very rapidly. Reason 1; Japan is urbanised but Korea is much more urbanised than Japan, and concentration of population to urban area is very conspicuous. 2; They use Korean alphabet-Japanese don't have an alphabet, which makes more suitable to getting access to computers.

$4.67 Per Gallon In Japan

When Katrina hit the USA, we had a report that USA was unable to produce enough oil to sustain their people's need only in their land because it hit many refinery plants especially located in the Gulf region.
US government asked us to export part of oil stored off the coast mainly for the preparation of emergency energy crisis in Japan. Japan is one of the strongest allies of USA, of course our government agreed to help them. I am not sure whether Japan really exported out of its stored oil. All amount of stored oil is for 210 days of all domestic consumption in Japan, I mean it's less than one year.
According to the article, not $1.75 but $2.57 per gallon in California. Here in Japan also creeping inflation of the price of oil is in progress, it's $1.23 per littre, that is $4.67 per gallon (One gallon is approximately 3.8L).

A Taste of Colour
2005.12.13 8:41

Can humans taste fat? For what reasons? I can hardly find the benefit of being able to taste the fat. If our tongue can detect whether the fat is good for our body, it might be helpful. Probably in appetite more concerned, colour might be another factor for our taste. Interestingly the colour of foods forms an important part of our appetite. We can taste bitter, sweet, sour, salty, umami (glutamate) and 'colour' as well.

Symbiosis
2005.12.13 8:38

Lichen -as if it were the Earth that keeps on floating in space with intricate symbiosis within it.

Clinical Trials
2005.12.13 8:33

It is very much needed to have the complete clinical trials before the application to the disease, in this 'Statins' case, the effectiveness of this medicine to certain diseases does not automaticially mean it is also effective to other diseases.
R&D of new drugs is sure to cost a lot more than the application of older drugs.
Application of older drugs to other diseases is more cost-effective, therefore, researchers ought to spend a lot of time and money for clinical trials thoroughly.

Phenomenon Is Prior To Theory
2005.12.13 8:30
We have inevitably theoretical boundary-our physics is three-dimentional, at best four. On the contrary, we've got lots of inexplicable phenomenon first before we reached some theory afterwards to be able to explain these strange- hard to explain- phenomenon in existing theories. Phenomenon is always prior to theory. We have to put the higher value as to how to find the phenomenon that's worth being evaluated under the light of reason thereafter.

This Is Reality

Europe and America have been very much suffered from BSE issues, the bird flu appeared in the first place in Asia, part of Canada, then Europe. Japan has been suffered from both cases -from BSE, bird flu, not only those diseases but other livestock related diseases -mouth&foot disease is also a potential threat. Our economic growth always has to take those threats into account.
