Resonance in Rainbow Bridge
University of Utah study listens to the natural bridge vibrate and sing
Utah’s iconic Rainbow Bridge hums with natural and man-made vibrations, according to a new University of Utah study, published September 21 in Geophysical Research Letters. The study characterizes the different ways the bridge vibrates and what frequencies and energy sources cause the rock structure to resonate. The vibrations are small, according to geology and geophysics professor Jeff Moore, but the study provides a baseline measure of the bridge’s structural integrity and shows how human activities can rattle solid rock.

Banken bleiben wichtige Partner für Unternehmen
Wirtschaftswissenschaftler der Universität Tübingen untersuchen anhand der US-amerikanischen Marihuana-Industrie, wie wertvoll Transaktionsservices und Kredite von Banken für junge Unternehmen sind
Banken haben für junge Unternehmen immer noch eine hohe Bedeutung und sind nicht vollständig durch alternative Finanzdienstleistungen, sogenannte FinTechs wie Crowdfunding oder Online-Bezahldienste, ersetzbar. Zu diesem Schluss kommen Professor Jan Riepe und Markus Merz von der Universität Tübingen in einer jüngst veröffentlichten Studie. (more…)
Why should a business invest in Virtual Data Rooms
Many businesses require the ability to share files between one another and with clients. In most cases, these files are confidential and require high levels of security to ensure that they don’t get lost or fall into the wrong hands. Before the digital age, businesses shared hard-copy documents by hand, which was risky as it required a level of trust that the file wouldn’t be misplaced, read or copied by unscrupulous employees or postal service workers. What’s more, the cost and time of transporting files were troublesome, and though faxing made this easier this was far from the most secure option. Paper files take up a room and require time to organize and locate when access is required. When the digital age first emerged, hard drives, floppy disks, CDs and flash drives were handled the same way as hard-copy files, with the added security potential of using password protection on files and the benefit of not taking up room in filing cabinets. However, the risk of loss and duplication, as well as the time and cost of transportation remained.

Was uns Meeresmücken über Frühaufsteher verraten
Der Mensch, aber auch viele andere Organismen haben innere Uhren. Solche Uhren ticken jedoch von Individuum zu Individuum anders. Daher sind manche Menschen zum Beispiel Frühaufsteher, während andere erst spät müde werden. (more…)
Model could shatter a mystery of glass
A glass is a curious material in between liquid and solid states of matter, but eventually glass always yields to its solid proclivity by settling into the ordered patterns of a crystal. Or so it was thought. (more…)
