		Yet another theory is that it comes from Northern Electric Research and Developments where the employees wore pocket protectors with the acronym N.E.R.D. It was adopted in the mid-1960s to describe a stereotypical intelligent social recluse, one who usually is the butt of others' jokes.
		The stereotypical nerd image as seen in the media and cartoons is a young man wearing thick fl glasses (preferably broken and taped up with electrical tape), pocket protectors and dress shirts or clothes that are in general too formal for the circumstances in which they are worn.
		Sometimes, the ridicule reaches the extent that the "nerds" react violently, the most well known incident of which was the Columbine High School massacre.

	Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, researchers at Duke University (2005) have found that 10-30% of the warming over the last two decades may be due to increased solar output [23].
		According to USGS researchers, glaciers in the Himalaya are wasting at alarming and accelerating rates, as indicated by comparisons of satellite and historic data, and as shown by the widespread, rapid growth of lakes on the glacier surfaces.
		Research by the Open University published in Geology (32: 157–160, 2004 [64]) indicates that this caused the rate of rock weathering to increase by 400%.

	Research into Northern Petroleum Plc
		Northern is fortunate in probably being the first company to have access to an almost complete seismic and well database acquired individually by major and junior oil companies during the period 1980-1992.
		Northern holds exploration licences at Huermeces, Valderredible and Basconcillos-H. Progress towards a drilling campaign for the area is anticipated in late 2004 or early 2005.
		Northern is concentrating its applications in older established oil and gas provinces that have been somewhat sidelined over the last decade and is staying clear of the Southern Apennine oil province due to both the high cost even for poor quality seismic data and perceived local difficulties.

		The term Nerd was adopted in the mid-1960s, inspired by philosopher Timothy Charles Paul Fuller to describe a stereotypical intelligent recluse with poor social skills, one who is usually the butt of others' jokes.
		(The context is narrator Gerald McGrew's claim that he would collect "a Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too" for his imaginary zoo.) Another theory of the word's origin is that it is a version of Mortimer Snerd, the name of Edgar Bergen's ventriloquist dummy.
		Yet another theory is that it comes from Northern Electric Research and Developments where the employees wore pocket protectors with the acronym N.E.R.D. printed on them.

		The result was development of a "high-vacuum tube" for amplifying sound in telephone cables in April 1913--and ATandT's purchase of the audion patent from DeForest.
		Western Electric founder Enos Barton, still president of the company in 1905, was responsible for moving the company's main manufacturing plant that year from downtown Chicago to a more rural setting on the outskirts of the city.
		Yet Western Electric was often unable to reap the returns from its own innovations, and in many ways Western Electric's story is a spectacular tale of paths not taken.

	Nanodot: Nanotechnology News and Discussion
		Research and development efforts are underway internationally to develop active (second generation nanotechnology) sensors, actuators and communications devices with more complex, engineered three-dimensional nanostructures, including the capability to link across biological interfaces.
		These microscopic critters, currently in a development phase at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, are biomimetic (that is, based on biological principles), have bacteria motors attached to their near-invisible bodies, and can slither through water canals and probe deep into blood vessels to stop disease and administer medicine.
		So it may be surprising that we are uneasy with the developing area of public participation in nanotechnology, as described in a Nature Biotechnology piece titled Building nanoliteracy in the university and beyond (pdf).

		Among the numerous naval facilities based in the Northern Fleet, three facilities are directly involved in the dismantlement of nuclear submarines: the Nerpa Shipyard, Sevmash, and Zvezdochka.[6] In order to comply with the provisions of START I, decommissioned submarines are cut in half to remove their missiles.
		The growth of the Northern Fleet in the years leading to the end of the Cold War resulted in the operation of almost 200 nuclear-powered submarines in the Northern Fleet.

		A model was developed to predict a composite age composition from the early age composition for those years when late age composition samples are absent and the following-year age composition indicates an unexplained recruitment of age-4 herring.
		While reflecting the department’s commitment to publishing its research in the formal literature, AFRB was primarily created to serve those who may both benefit from and contribute to research that is conveniently aggregated in one journal focusing on the management and development of Alaska’s vast fisheries.
		The department is changing the way it reports its research by substantially increasing the number of applied research articles which emphasize a synthesis of information in the format of a highly visible research bulletin.

	Science Fair Projects - Nerd
		Possibly from the acronym N.E.R.D. on the pocket protectors of employees of the company Northern Electric Research and Developments; it should be noted, however, that speculative etymologies based on acronyms are almost always false (such as "port out, starboard home" for "posh" and "to insure promptness" for "tip").
		Possibly a pronunciation of the word "drunk" spelled in reverse ("knurd"), used to mean a person who does not drink at parties - this seems somewhat contrived.
		Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science.
