| Research: Web Traffic |
| Don not believe the
unique IP stats! Web is
smaller than you think. Websites that publish unique IP
numbers as a measure of popularity may exaggerate the true size
of their audience by an order of magnitude or more. |
| Research: Code Optimization for Gravitational N-body |
| Teraflop in a box:
SSE-optimized parallel treecode for 4-way 4x quad-core AMD
"Barcelona" server (coming soon). |
| Research: Mars Exploration |
Liquid water flowing
in central Aram Chaos in Mars?
I think so! If Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) CRISM instrument confirms the
hypothesis the central Aram Chaos area at 21.15W, 3.27N (IAU
1994) will be the prime candidate in search for life.
Southern craters: 'black oil' oozing
from crater walls is still a mystery.
If you are not afraid of large files check out this 500MB
mosaic of a
crater at 4.67W, 64.54S. There is evidence foe perennial
freezing and
thawing, you can even see
waterline erosion on the rocks, except that it is too cold
for water and there is no basin in the 'lake'! According to MOLA
the 'lake' slopes horridly and it is too cold for liquid water
based on THEMIS observations. |
| Research: Gravity & Astrophysics |
| Can dark matter and
dark energy actually be effects of quantum gravity?
I think yes!
Dark matter will remain an embarrassment until detected, a
superficial construct like ether. Perhaps Lorenz was right after
all: CMB dipole allows defining a preferred frame of reference
and Bohmian
Mechanics is more elegant than
Copenhagen interpretation.
Why galaxies have warps and bars?
I think rotational
drag force might be to blame. Galaxies are neither flat
nor planar or static. |
| Research: New Effects in Coherent States of Matter |
| Why was NASA
interested in the controversial
Podkletnov's experiment? Until high-temperature
superconductivity is understood new physics cannot be ruled out.
I believe that the the condensed (i.e. superconductivity and
Bose condensates) and coherent states of matter (e.g. lasers)
provide the best ground for searching for new effects in
physics. This is the area where the extension of Bohmian
mechanics can bear experimental fruits. That's why we keep
pouring buckets of liquid nitrogen into the equipment at
High-Temperature Superconductivity Lab at
Moscow Institute of Electronic
Engineering. |
| Research: Multi-Channel Music Synthesis |
| Real-time 4-channel
music synthesis on PIC18 series is not
just a toy.
The concept is being developed into a professional quality
multi-channel synthesis and mixing solution: why spin from
scratchy 12" vinyl or scrappy stereo CD when you can spin from
multi-channel DVD and have your drum and bass lines mixed
separately and pitch-corrected? |
| Research: Prognosis Tree |
| Public decision making / prognosis system
with weighted input (coming soon). |
