Rice method produces nanorods with more than 99 percent purity

Rice University chemists have discovered a novel method to produce ultra-pure gold nanorods -- tiny, wand-like nanoparticles that are being studied in dozens of labs worldwide for applications as broad as diagnosing disease and improving electronic viewscreens. The method, published in the Sept. 25 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, removes more than 99 percent of impurities from nanorods.

In Java read the status code of an HTTP request?

If you use the URL.openStream() method, there's no way to determine whether a request was successful or not. The only alternative is to use the URL.openConnection() method, which returns a URLConnection instance. The URLConnection is an abstract class, meaning that it provides a template of methods, which other classes will implement. Even though the URL.openConnection() method returns a URLConnection instance, it is actually returning a concrete implementation of that class.

.NET Tip: Determining the Type of a Character Variable

How do you determine what type a character variable holds? Is it a number, a letter, a punctuation mark, or somthing else? One answer is to take advantage of the built-in static methods of the System.Char data type directly. You could use Char.IsDigit(), for example, to determine whether a character variable contained a digit in the range 0-9. There are other static methods that you can use to determine if a character is a letter, symbol, punctuation, and so forth. In some instances, using these static methods may be your best choice. In my case, however, I wanted something a little different. To keep my application code clean, I wanted a single method call that could return the type of character a variable contained. One method to do this is to create an extension method for the System.

Rent A Toll(R), Ltd Announces the Issuance of the First Patent Providing for A Toll Fee System and Method for Providing Tolling Services to Rental and Corporate Fleet Vehicles

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Rent A Toll, Ltd announced today that it has been issued the first US Patent in regards to a Toll Fee System and Method for providing tolling services to Rental and Corporate Fleet Vehicles. The patent, US Patent No. 7407097 relates to a toll fee tracking system comprising a toll authority, adapted to collect data associated with at least one toll fee tracking device (typically a transponder) and a toll rental entity (Rent A Toll) adapted to communicate with the toll authority and a third party entity (typically a Rental Car Agency or Corporate Fleet company). The toll rental entity further acts as an intermediary between the toll authority and the rental car or fleet company for the matching of transactional data from the toll authority and the rental car or fleet company.

Automated NMR Assignment of Protein Side Chain Resonances Using Automated Projection Spectroscopy (APSY)

This paper describes an automated method for sequence-specific NMR assignment of the aliphatic resonances of protein side chains in small- and medium-sized globular proteins in aqueous solution. The method requires the recording of a five-dimensional (5D) automated projection spectroscopy (APSY-) NMR experiment and the subsequent analysis of the APSY peak list with the algorithm ALASCA (Algorithm for local and linear assignment of side chains from APSY data). The 5D APSY-HC(CC-TOCSY)CONH experiment yields 5D chemical shift correlations of aliphatic side chain C−H moieties with the backbone atoms H

Google Patent for Water-Based Data Center

Google’s latest patent titled “Water-Based Data Center” describes various implementations for deriving power from water while at the same time using water as a method for cooling. One method proposed is a ship-based data center platform capable of being deployed quickly to offer greater flexibility than traditional land based data centers. These Water-Based Data Centers would be powered by natural energy derived from wave motion via tide-powered generators and cooled by “sea-water” cooling units. In addition to being powered by the sea these floating data centers would rely on sea-powered pumps and “seawater-to-freshwater heat exchangers" for cooling.

IP Technology Services, Inc. Completes Sale of Two Online Search Technology Patents

IP Tech received an advisory fee in connection with the sale of each of the patents.

eBay fuels fires of resentment with new PayPal-only policy

Somewhere along the way, eBay seems to have fallen under the impression that gasoline is a great flame retardant. As if a slew of negative policy changes and a failed acquisition weren't causing the company enough problems, eBay has announced that, come next month, PayPal will not only be the preferred method of payment in the US, it will be virtually the only method, period.

.NET Tip: Take a Byte out of Strings

If you work much with Streams or Sockets, you are bound come across the need to convert a string to a byte array or to convert a byte array into a string. There is an easy means to accomplish this, but it is not where I would have expected it to be. The methods to do this are found in the Encoding class. The GetBytes() method is used to get a byte array representation of a string and the GetString() method is used to get a string representation of an array of bytes. Here is an example of how to use the methods:

'Laser Comb' To Measure the Accelerating Universe

Back in April, UT published an article about using a device called a 'laser comb' to search for Earth-like planets. But astronomers also hope to use the device to search for dark energy in an ambitious project that would measure the velocities of distant galaxies and quasars over a 20-year period. This would let astronomers test Einstein's theory of general relativity and the nature of the mysterious dark energy. The device uses femto-second (one millionth of one billionth of a second) pulses of laser light coupled with an atomic clock to provide a precise standard for measuring wavelengths of light. Also known as an “astro-comb,” these devices should give astronomers the ability to use the Doppler shift method with incredible precision to measure spectral lines of starlight up to 60 times greater than any current high-tech method.

method of sending cookies from a servlet in Java

HTTP is a stateless protocol, which makes tracking user actions difficult. One solution is to use a cookie, which is a small piece of data sent by a web browser every time it requests a page from a particular site. Servlets, and CGI scripts, can send cookies when a HTTP request is made - though as always, there is no guarantee the browser will accept it.
