...blueprints in Yu’s factory are also inspired by her doodles. Those large graph-paper sheets, covered in small, intricate drawings are reminiscent of the pen and pencil work of Lee Bontecue, whose small drawings often gave rise to similar pieces...
...mails from Skilling have been found. In fact, there are no e-mails from him at all. Skilling, 52, told the jury he didn't even learn to navigate a computer until after he was indicted, and was so retro that he wrote lists of things to do on graph paper, scratching off his tasks as he walked the floors of Enron every day. (None of those scraps of paper has turned up either. "I didn't destroy them," Skilling protested. "I threw them away...
...pursuing his own research on complex topics in mathematical physics. Martinez has discovered an infinite class of transcendental numbers, co-discovered the largest base 7 prime in the world (which has 67,727 digits), synthesized a new liquid crystal, developed a globally bounded, nonlinear approximation/perturbation technique, and developed a graph theoretic understanding of the Somos-4 sequence. These cryptic achievements were listed in a brief biography of Martinez on the website for a summer science program called NKS Summer School.In spite of these whiz kid accomplishments, Martinez says that reversing the stereotype of a scientist as a one-dimensional...
...most persuasive piece of evidence in the new study, led by J. Alan Pounds of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica and published in Nature, is a graph that shows both annual changes in average temperature and the number of frog extinctions per year on the same grid: the jagged lines track each other with eerie precision. Species die-offs follow warm years 80% of the time. With tropical air temperatures from 1975 to 2000 rising three times as fast as the 20th century average, things should only get worse...
Smith, who works with ice-hockey players, finds that biofeedback techniques are particularly effective for controlling jitters. Most athletes are skilled at visual imagery, and when shown monitors that display their anxiety levels as a graph or chart, they quickly learn to corral their nervousness and keep it from interfering with the smooth flow of their practiced skills. "I tell people they need to try to get back to doing rather than thinking," says Simons...
