Free newsletter - HFI's UI Design Update LeCompte, D. Seven, plus or minus two, is too much to bear: Three (or fewer) is the real magic number, Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 289-292. At least partially because of the success of Miller's paper, the number "seven" is now almost universally and erroneously accepted as the human capacity limit for a wide range of issues. Probably the most well-known article in the fields of usability, user interface design and user experience is Miller's 1956 paper entitled "The magical number seven, plus or minus two." It is incredible how this article has lasted for over 40 years, and still seems to influence many design decisions. www.humanfactors.com /downloads/sep002.htm   (617 words)

Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence // Seed AI // What is Seed AI? One human may have plus or minus 10% as many neurons - but never twice as many neurons, and certainly not ten times as many neurons or a thousand times as many neurons! Both the evolutionary rise of human intelligence and the explosion of human culture are instances of accelerating change, but in both cases the underlying process remained isolated. Because human intelligence is not self-modifying, we are fundamentally ill-equipped to understand the capabilities of a self-modifying mind with human-equivalent intelligence. www.singinst.org /seedAI/seedAI.html   (3824 words)

Moral Arguments for the Existence of God Minus a belief in God, there is no reason to suppose that ignoring moral norms will not pay. The obligation created by the promise holds independent of my particular goals because it reflects a universal rule, holding at all times and places and applying to any human being as such. Their world is not a perfect world and they might feel sad that it is not, but they will no doubt think that accepting such realism is a lower price to pay than believing in God. plato.stanford.edu /entries/moral-arguments-god   (7612 words)

Good Question: God Minus World = God - Christianity Today Magazine To put it in the form of a mathematical equation, one can say that God minus the world equals God, but the world minus God equals zero. Disagreeing, Paul pointed out that God is the creator of the world and is "not served by human hands, as though he needed anything" (Acts 17:25). Grace means God extends unmerited favor to us, but if he created the world because of an unmet need, grace would no longer be grace because what God does for us would be in part selfishly motivated by a deficiency within himself. www.christianitytoday.com /ct/2004/007/33.62.html   (1292 words)

Chapter 12 of the book "The 'g' Factor", by Arthur Jensen Human races are viewed not as discrete, or Platonic, categories, but rather as breeding populations that, as a result of natural selection, have come to differ statistically in the relative frequencies of many polymorphic genes. To distinguish certain archaic subspecies of Homo sapiens (e.g., Neanderthal man) that became extinct during this period from their contemporaries who were anatomically modern humans, the latter are now referred to as Homo sapiens sapiens (or Homo s.

Plants & Human Affairs However, carbon-14 is radioactive and it decays to nitrogen-14 and a beta minus particle (energy). This process has a half life of 5700 years, which means that if you start with 1.0 pound of carbon-14, 5700 years later you will have 0.5 pounds of carbon-14 (and lots of nitrogen-14). These can be analyzed to see what types of foods were in the diet (i.e., look for seeds, plant fragments) and how they were eaten (i.e. employees.csbsju.edu /SSAUPE/biol106/lectures/origin_of_agriculture.htm   (101 words)

Wired News: Space Plants Get Glowing Review Changing Mars, a planet with temperatures that range from 45 to minus-170 degrees, and humidity of only.3 percent, into a human-friendly place might seem far-flung, but the researchers are hopeful that it could eventually sustain some form of life. Andrew Schuerger, a manager of Mars projects at Dynamac Corporation is developing a remote image sensor to measure the Arabidopsis genes as they express themselves, and to generally monitor the Martian soil. The researchers want the fluorescent plants to be chosen by NASA to travel to Mars in a three-year, $300 million mission scheduled for 2007. wired-vig.wired.com /news/print/0,1294,43511,00.html   (4162 words)

The New Republic Online: Easterbrook In the 1980s, he fell in with a weird crowd that maintained that human colonization of Mars was imminent. Since the mean surface temperature of Mars is minus 90 Fahrenheit, enclosed biospheres would be needed. Last week the Wall Street Journal ran a letter to the editor blithely asserting that colonization of Mars could be accomplished "easily and cheaply." The Russian rocket manufacturer Energia recently estimated that the hardware for a stripped-down manned mission to Mars would weigh a minimum of 600 tons in low-earth orbit. www.tnr.com /easterbrook.mhtml?pid=693   (4162 words)

Astronomy and astrophysics If you want to know something about the beta minus decay you can do it on the homepage of nuclear physics.

The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In it Miller showed a number of remarkable coincidences between the channel capacity of a number of human cognitive and perceptual tasks. Two seconds is the duration of the English spoken form of 7±2 digits (in Chinese it around 9 and Welsh around 6), the variation is highly correlated with the rate at which people speak.

Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At a time when information theory was beginning to be applied in psychology, Miller observed that whereas some human cognitive tasks fit the model of a "channel capacity" characterized by a roughly constant capacity in bits, short-term memory did not.

Mighty Mice Manufactured Minus Missing Myostatin Among the important remaining questions is whether blocking myostatin postnatally, as would be required to treat human diseases, is effective. "Although more study is needed to prove that these mice are good models for humans and to find other myostatin signaling components, our work suggests that these kinds of myostatin antagonists may be effective muscle-enhancing agents for both human and agricultural applications." The Johns Hopkins scientists who first created "mighty mice" by genetically engineering animals with a missing growth regulator called myostatin have now created a second group of mice whose genetic makeup shows it's possible to get the same effect by blocking the gene for myostatin, rather than entirely knocking it out. unisci.com /stories/20013/0718013.htm   (581 words)

Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth: June 2004 Archives The Tunisians, who did not participate in the human rights caucus session in which the language was drafted, demanded the right to overrule the text criticizing the Tunisian government, as well as change the speaker to someone they felt represented their view. Other Tunisian and African groups, which had opposed her speech, were also given time to speak; in the end they simply read the same remarks that had been prepared for her, minus language they perceived as criticizing the Tunisian government. With probably seven or eight Tunisians for every non-Tunisian in the room, they demanded that civil society take an immediate vote on whether language critical of the Tunisian government would be excised from the human rights caucus text. www.edwebproject.org /andy/blog/2004_06.html   (14451 words)

Wired News: These Squirrels Are Super Cool Barnes chose the arctic squirrel for his research, as they are very good at enduring the minus-50-degree conditions of the tundra. Barnes' research may do little to enhance human-squirrel relations, however, since it involves luring the squirrel into a cage and then whisking it off to the operating table where its abdominal cavity is cut open and a data logger inserted. The arctic ground squirrel can drop its internal temperature to as low as minus three degrees Celsius. www.wired.com /news/technology/0,1282,61413,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_3   (736 words)

Effects of extensive temporal lobe damage or mild hypoxia on recollection and familiarity - Nature Neuroscience Recollection was estimated as the probability that an old item received a remember response minus the probability that a new item received a remember response. These two forms of human memory have been studied extensively by philosophers and psychologists, but their neuroanatomical substrates are largely unknown. For example, studies of rats and nonhuman primates indicate that the hippocampus is important for recollection of arbitrary associations between features of previous events, whereas regions within the parahippocampal gyrus are important for familiarity-based memory judgments such as identifying recently presented items www.nature.com /cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/neuro/journal/v5/n11/full/nn961.html   (4850 words)

Anti Global Warming Petition Project During the past 10 years, U.S. surface temperatures have trended downward by minus 0.08 ºC per decade (12) while global surface temperatures are reported increased by plus 0.03 ºC per decade (23). This hypothesis is reasonable, since the magnitudes of human release and atmospheric rise are comparable, and the atmospheric rise has occurred contemporaneously with the increase in production of CO2 from human activities since the Industrial Revolution. Since total current estimates of hydrocarbon reserves are approximately 2,000 times annual use (47), doubled human release could, over a thousand years, ultimately be 10,000 GT C or 25% of the amount now sequestered in the oceans. www.sitewave.net /PPROJECT/pproject.htm   (308 words)

Gyokumen Koushou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since she was determined to have obtained the sutras, she and Ni Jianyi release the Minus wave to whole of Shangri-la, brainwashing youkais, making youkais go berserk on their human companions and enabling youkais to do her bidding (including obtaining the sutras) in the name of Gyumaoh Revival. She also invested her resources in many of Dr. Ni's inventions, a product of youkai magic and human science that were used to track down the sutras and on various occasions used to detroy Genjyo Sanzo and Sanzo-ikkou, which of course the four fighters have survived and escaped many times in the past.
