 Can science provide justice?
Science and the English legal system are fundamentally incompatible, Chris Pamplin, editor of the UK Register of Expert Witnesses, writes in Chemistry & Industry magazine.
As science becomes more advanced, he says, the courts are increasingly likely to turn to it for answers.
As well as covering industry and science, it focuses on developments that will be of significant commercial interest in five- to ten-years time.

 Mars Global Surveyor Science Sampler Data Set Collection (VOLINFO)
The science observations were acquired during the descending leg of each orbit; that is, as the spacecraft moved from north to south.
Science objectives of radio science investigations include measurement of small perturbations in spacecraft velocity from Doppler shifts on transmitted signals, followed by inference of detailed gravitational fields from solutions of systems of simultaneous equations based on such measurements.
Many images on the MGS Science Sampler volume are more than 4,000 rows (lines) and it was thought that increasing the size of the images would potentially make it more difficult for investigators to display and use the images.

 Center for Confucian Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
He wrote: "Many Jesuit Fathers, who are mathematicians from the Academies des Sciences, have been sent to the Orient to teach the monarch not only the mathematical arts, but also the essence of our philosophy.
It is desirable that they in turn teach us those things which are especially in our interest: the greatest use of practical philosophy and a more perfect manner of living.
Thus, the Center for Confucian Science is to pursue all the necessary and appropriate activities as the first Confucian mission of an educational organization to propagate Confucius' teachings for the benefit of the general public, equally, regardless of sex, origin or nationality, race or color, and religion or ideology.

 New Science
He argues that personality's emergence as an object of science was linked to the gradual demise of character and the self­sacrificing, morally grounded self that it sup­ported.
Carefully highlighting Allport's com­plex commitments to both science and spiritu­ality, Nicholson examines the rich cultural and historical contexts that framed the emergence of personality as a discipline, revealing multi­ple (even contradictory) meanings of "person­ality" in the language of American selfhood.
A New Kind of Science provides new insight into a remarkable array of fundamental questions, including how biology produces complexity, how randomness arises in physics, what space and time fundamentally are, how there can be both free will and determinism, how general mathematics really is and what ultimate limits there are to science.

 Medical Science II
Ethical issues in medical science in the 1990s will be numerous, occur in all disciplines of medicine, and affect all physicians.
Science and scientists have always had influence outside the direct impact of their discoveries.
The ethical dilemma of preventive medical science is the final stop to the ultimate ethical dilemma for the individual: to deal with moral absolutes and his personal sin.

 CSC - Center for Science and Culture
Studies in the methodology and philosophy of science have shown that many scientific theories, particularly in the historical sciences, are formulated and justified as inferences to the best explanation (Lipton 1991:32-88, Brush 1989:1124-1129, Sober 2000:44).
In the historical sciences, uniformitarian and/or actualistic (Gould 1965, Simpson 1970, Rutten 1971, Hooykaas 1975) canons of method suggest that judgments about causal adequacy should derive from our present knowledge of cause and effect relationships.
Theories in the historical sciences typically make claims about what happened in the past, or what happened in the past to cause particular events to occur (Meyer 1991:57-72).

The population of the city grew from 12,000 in 1670 to 61,000 in 1712, while the University of Halle was founded in 1694, the Academy of the Arts in 1696.
The first session of the new Academy took place in January 1744 and, on 12 May 1746, Maupertuis was officially appointed as president of the Berlin Academy.
He is especially important for the history of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, to which he was elected in 1827 with the strong support of Alexander von Humboldt.

 Nonduality Salon Highlights, #1698
The 68-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner has said many times that if he hadn't been fated to be a monk, he surely would have been an engineer.
He has had a lifelong fascination with science and a natural curiosity for understanding the way things work.
Therefore it was no surprise to see him conferring over two days last week with neuroscientists, psychologists and behavioral scientists to examine the ways in which scientific and Buddhist understandings might intersect and to see how modern science can learn from Buddhism's 2,500-year tradition of meditation practice.
