NOVEMBER 20, 2024
Odors are all around us, and often disperse fast—in hazardous situations like wildfires, for example, wind conditions quickly carry any smoke (and the smell of smoke) away from its origin. Resistance response curves illustrate how a sensor’s resistance changes over time in response to a stimulus, such as an odor.

As high officials of CalEPA and CARB got wind of Chu’s analysis of H2 and FCVs, they reportedly went to DC and lobbied furiously if unsuccessfully to pull him back. In addition to the California funds there is federal stimulus money, $41 million by mid-April, being doled out to their projects, many of zero environmental benefit.

In the case of the 2017 Tubbs Fire, the 2018 Camp Fire, and the 2020 August Complex Fires, high winds blasted flames through populated areas in the early morning hours while residents were sleeping. Once the stimulus is removed, the metal finger reverts to its original shape and the switch opens.

billion in stimulus grants to the industry. Robert Paaswell, director of the University Transportation Research Center, would probably agree. “Since the electricity is going to have to come from somewhere, you want it to come from clean energy sources whether it be wind or solar and those sorts of things. Or No Cars?

At Stanford University, otolaryngologist Blair Simmons and engineer Robert White successfully implanted the first multichannel cochlear implant, and Simmons coauthored a report about it in Science in 1965. To test whether Saunders could sense different tones and stimulus rates, the team played “God Save the Queen.”

For 15 years, my team at the University of Göttingen, in Germany, has been collaborating with colleagues at the University of Freiburg and beyond to reinvent the cochlear implant in a strikingly counterintuitive way: using light. The deaf animals responded to this light stimulation just as they had to the auditory stimulus.
