In the January-February American Scientist magazine, chemists Joel B. Miller of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Geoffrey A. Barrall of Quantum Magnetics describe a third approach that circumvents both of these problems by using a physical phenomenon called nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR).
The technique is similar to the resonance used in magnetic resonance imaging but offers an advantage, especially in the case of land mines: the target of an NQR detector does not need to be immersed in a strong magnetic field.

 A Scientist Finds Independence, by Tom Bethell
In fact, his independence as a scientist is now greater than it would be if he were still at a large research institution.
A physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists told radio listeners in New York that the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine was not qualified to comment because it has "no mainframe computers," and its "secret sources of funding" were "undoubtedly" oil-industry related.
He obtained over 17,000 signatures—this in contrast to the "2,000 scientists" who were said to accept man-made climate change as a reality.

 THE HIDDEN ANTHRAX LETTERS SUSPECT
Almost a year ago, in March 2001, long before the attacks on the World Trade Towers, while the American people were being distracted by "All Condit, All The Time", the United States Government was already informing other nations of plans to invade Afghanistan in October, 2001.
We cannot afford to dismiss the possibility that, once again, Americans are the victims of a hoax designed to trick them into sacrificing their wealth and the lives of their children in a war of someone else's making; a war of the worst kind, war for profit and empire.
Because Dr. Assaad's race fit in perfectly with the agenda of sparking a war into Arab lands rich in oil, the media ballyhooed that the FBI was closing in on the "Arab Anthrax Terrorist".

Summary: My source, a scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey, explained that the program involves free-floating buoys (called drifters) that transmit their position along with various measurements of the ocean's properties to land-bound investigators.
In general, a wide-angle lens requires shorter exposures than a telephoto lens of the same aperture, and the larger the aperture of the lens, the shorter the required exposure time.

 Fritz Haber
That he knew the elements of American political culture better than do some present-day citizens is exemplified in his statement to a number of American physicians visiting Berlin, June, 1926.
During his time, the position of scientist to the army was somewhat the same as it was in the United States during World War II.
Fritz Haber's absorption in war work was in line with his maxim, "A scientist belongs to his country in times of war and to all mankind in times of peace." Indeed, he belonged so much to his country that Germany's defeat was a deep spiritual and physical blow for him.

 Stay Free! Daily: American Science, RIP
While standing in line at the post office, I saw this new series of stamps devoted to American scientists...which is kind of ironic considering how our sciences are now under attack from all corners: from evangelicals to pharmaceutical marketing, educational declines, and funding cuts.
I don't know much about the individual scientists, other than the fact that they are dead, and that their tiny, stick-on tombstones can now service your mailings for 37 cents.
And with that we bring you an updated version of American Scientists.

We can see that most of our difficulty was owing not to any deficiency in our reading skills but rather to the author's lack of comprehension of our structural needs as readers.
In our experience, the misplacement of old and new information turns out to be the No. 1 problem in American professional writing today.
The source of the problem is not hard to discover: Most writers produce prose linearly (from left to right) and through time.
