<p>El <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrofoam">Eps/styrofoam</a></strong> es un gran material para construir nuestras propias lamparas o diseñar otras nuevas para nuestros proyectos y este, unido a la luz fluorescente, tiene un resultado estético fantástico. En esta ocasión os quiero mostrar un proyecto que he encontrado por casualidad, vía <strong>Flickr</strong>, en el que <strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/idearrhea/sets/72157605051044067/">Eric Lawrence</a> </strong>a construido esta estupenda lampara con piezas reutilizadas de los embalajes que utiliza <strong>Apple</strong> para sus laptops&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8221; I made a chandelier from the molded styrofoam packing material Apple used to use for shipping their laptops. The 16 bulbs are 5w dimmable compact fluorescents, which generate very little heat but produce the same light as 20w incandescents. Approx. 35&#8243; x 35&#8243; x 12&#8243; &#8220;</em></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>

<p>y aquí vemos un poco la estructura donde van alojadas las lamparas&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Der Heidelberger Appell stand seit seiner Veröffentlichung in der Kritik. Grund hierfür war, neben des Bashings von Google Books, dieser unter Wissenschaftlern sehr unterschiedlich eingeschätzte Punkt:</p>
<blockquote><p>Die »Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen« will die Autoren dagegen auf eine bestimmte Publikationsform verpflichten. Dies dient nicht der Verbesserung der wissenschaftlichen Information.</p>
<p>Die Unterzeichner appellieren nachdrücklich an die Bundesregierung und die Regierungen der Länder, das bestehende Urheberrecht, die Publikationsfreiheit und die Freiheit von Forschung und Lehre entschlossen und mit allen zu Gebote stehenden Mitteln zu verteidigen. Die Politik steht in der Pflicht, den individual rechtlichen Ansprüchen, die sich an die Herstellung von künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Werken knüpfen, auf nationaler wie internationaler Ebene Geltung zu verschaffen.</p></blockquote>
<p>Diese &#8220;Verpflichtungen auf Publikationsformen&#8221; bedeuten im Klartext ja die E-Journals die dem Open-Access-Prinzip folgen. Gehandelt werden soll, so sehen es zumindest die Verfasser des Appells, nach dem Motto &#8220;Der Staat, also die Bürger, haben es bezahlt, nun soll das wissen auch frei zugänglich gemacht werden.&#8221; Das dies jedoch gar nicht Intention der Allianz der Wissenschaftsorganisationen (zu dem losen Verbund gehören u.a. Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Leibniz-Gemeinschaft , etc.) sei, betonen nun wiederum die Gegner. Sie wollten die Forschungsergebnisse nur publiziert sehen, wie sei ihnen egal. Niemand müsse also auf die E-Journals zurückgreifen.</p>
<p>Dass diese E-Journals nicht sehr beliebt sind, vor allem im Bereich der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften, kann man sich denken. Selbst in den USA, in denen schon einen Zacken länger als in Europa die Ranking-Kultur in die Wissenschaften einzog, herrscht noch dieses eine, bestimmende Vorurteil vor:</p>
<blockquote><p>Open-access scholarly journals may well be the wave of the future. For now, though, many researchers are reluctant to submit their work to open-access journals because they think of them as dumping grounds for papers that wouldn’t stand a chance of being published in a “real” journal. Indeed, many critics wonder whether the rush to get findings into circulation and/or to fill up empty spaces on one’s c.v. are leading to a short-circuiting of established peer-review practices or even an abandonment of peer review altogether.</p></blockquote>
<p>So fasst es der Politikwissenschaftler Eric Lawrence bei <a href="http://www.themonkeycage.org/2009/06/sokal_hoax_revisited.html">&#8220;The Monkey Cage&#8221; </a>zusammen. Eingedenk der <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal-Affäre">Sokal-Affäre</a> weist er auf einen erneuten, noch dreisteren Vorfall hin:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;">Using pseudonyms, Philip Davis and Kent Anderson, claiming to be researchers at the Center for Research in Applied Phrenology (in case you don’t recall what phrenology is, it’s the study of personality through analysis of bumps on the head — and check out the initials of the ostensible center), submitted a paper to <em>The Open Information Science Journal </em>. Note that I didn’t say that Davis and Anderson <em>wrote</em> the article. In fact, the article was written by a computer program, which cobbled together words and phrases that Davis and Anderson provided to form complex, and often bizarre, sentences. The results reported in the paper were phonies, too.</p>
<p style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;">What happened? Davis and Anderson were contacted by the publisher and informed that their paper had withstood its peer review process and was therefore eligible for publication, pending receipt of $800 in fees.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;">Der ganze Vorfall wurde in den USA unter anderem vom <a href="http://www.the-scientist.com/blog/display/55756/">Scientist</a> aufgegriffen und dürfte Wasser auf die Mühlen der Unterstützer des Heidelberger Appells sein und für sie wieder mal beweisen, dass das mit den E-Journals und dem Open Access alles Quatsch ist.</p>

<p>[Jeremiah Grossman] and [Eric Lawrence] will be presenting on clickjacking and browser security <a href="https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=registration.jsp&#38;eventid=122494">in an online seminar tomorrow</a>. Clickjacking allows an attacker to transparently place links exactly where a user would be clicking, essentially forcing the user to perform actions without their knowledge. This method of attack has been known for a few years, but researchers have focused their attention on it lately because they feel the threat has been underestimated. Recently, Adobe patched a vulnerability specifically because of this issue. Tune in tomorrow for more info on the attack.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Il mondo dei blog mette a disposizione dei lettori un ventaglio di opinioni politiche molto ampio. Ma i lettori ne approfittano? Secondo un nuovo studio di Henry Farrell, Eric Lawrence e John Sides (tutti e tre della George Washington University), la risposta è &#8220;no&#8221;. I dati dello studio dicono che i lettori di blog politici:</p>
<ul>
<li>nel 51% dei casi leggono solo blog di sinistra;</li>
<li>nel 42% dei casi leggono solo blog di destra;</li>
<li>nel 7% dei casi leggono sia blog di sinistra sia blog di destra.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ci sono tante possibili interpretazioni. Una è che i lettori usino i blog politici per soddisfare bisogni di omofilia (stare insieme a gente che la pensa come te) invece che bisogni di informazione. Mentre un quotidiano nazionale può allargare il suo pubblico aprendosi a una diversità di opinioni, il successo di un blog politico dipende dal martellare sempre sulle stesse idee.</p>
<p>Henry Farrell è anche uno degli animatori del blog (di sinistra, ma aperto) <a title="Crooked Timber" href="http://crookedtimber.org/" target="_blank"><em>Crooked Timber</em></a>.</p>
