  Welcome To Huazhong Agricultural University   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
HAU is a multi-disciplinary comprehensive university giving priority to agriculture, characterized by life sciences and supplemented by the combination of agriculture, basic sciences, engineering, liberal arts, law, economic trade, and management.
HAU, one of the first groups of universities in China which are authorized to confer Ph.D. and M.A. degrees, has produced the new China's first doctor majoring in agronomy.
HAU has taken the lead in conducting an educational experiment with training application-oriented postgraduates of agriculture and pioneered new ways to bring up high-ranking application-oriented personnel for the main battlefront of the national economy.

 Harvard Physics Department Faculty - Prof. Hau
Recently, the Hau group succeeded in reducing the light speed to 17 m/s (the speed of a racing bicycle) by optically inducing a quantum interference in a Bose-Einstein condensate.
The system also exhibits extreme optical properties: Hau's group has demonstrated a nonlinear refractive index which is 14 orders of magnitude larger that the nonlinear index in an optical fiber and the largest ever measured by a factor of a million.
Hau and collaborators were the first to suggest a wave-guide for cold atoms based on a mechanical structure.

 Canoe Plants of Ancient Hawai`i: HAU
Seeds and cuttings of hau were brought by early Polynesian voyagers to Hawai`i Nei, and planted by the settlers to yield a light-weight tough white wood with a brown heart.
Hau is found and used throughout tropical and subtropical Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia and is held in high regard for its usefulness to the traditional life of oceanic people.
Traditionally, hau branches were piled near the shoreline to indicate fishing was kapu, because spawning was occurring in that area.

 Hau biography
Lene Vestergaard Hau was born in Vejle which is a town of about 50,000 inhabitants situated on the Vejle Fjord, northwest of Fredericia, on the east coast of Jutland.
After being awarded her B.S. degree in Mathematics in 1984, Hau continued to study at the University of Aarhus for her Master's degree in Physics which was awarded two years later.
For her doctoral studies in quantum theory Hau worked on ideas similar to those involved in fibre optic cables carrying light, but her work involved strings of atoms in a silicon crystal carrying electrons.

 Harvard Gazette: Hau wins MacArthur
Hau applied to the National Science Foundation for funds to make a batch of this condensate but was rejected on the grounds that she was a theorist for whom such experiments would be too difficult to do.
However, Hau got funding from the Rowland Institute of Science in Cambridge, Mass., and 15 months later she became one of a handful of scientists who made the superatom soup.
This work gained Hau a tenured professorship at Harvard and a new laboratory there where she can further explore the basic and practical implications of controlling the speed of light.

 Carl Hau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Hau was found guilty due to circumstantial evidence and was sentenced to death.
During the time Hau was in prison, there were numerous books and articles written on this topic and the authorities knew that Hau himself had been writing extensively on the topic while in prison.
She was originally named Olga Hau (Olga after the first name of her aunt) but her name was changed to Ruth Dorothee Masters after the trial because before she died, Lina had requested it - presumably to protect her from the vast amount of publicity the case generated.

After 1 year of age, children and adults used the base of the hau flower; this base is a little white dome-shaped "bump" inside the bottom of the petals.
Sometimes hibiscus flowers were used instead of hau (they are relatives so it doesn't really matter which of these two flowers were used).
Buds of the hau flower were also chewed and swallowed for dry-throat.

Throwing out all misconceptions of the band and the genres they are associated with, "Hau Ruck" is their most powerful and innovative album.
