Equation Accessibility on ScienceDirect.com, Encouraging Global Collaboration

I like the MathML and equation accessibility of your pages. I am at https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/observability right now. But suggest you integrate some tools to immediately use the equations.  You have LOTS of them on your site, and they are disconnected fragments. Collectively they can change the world. And, there is no sense of community on this

Are 3D simulation results shared globally in an efficient manner?

David, I came across an old video on YouTube that refers to PSAAP.  Here is the link: Towards air-breathing hypersonic vehicles through numerical simulations – PSAAP at Stanford by Ivan Bermejo-Moreno https://youtu.be/llM8RSGagXI?t=120 In this simulation, at two minutes, it is showing cross sections.  I was wondering if, in any of these 3D simulations you do,

Comments on LibreOffice Sites and Community

Hello, Is there, somewhere, a profile of the Document Foundation community online?  The “LibreOffice community”?  The “Community Map” has no weights or sizes. I looked at the people and groups that you follow, and a bit of who they follow and are linked to.  https://twitter.com/tdforg  I attached my notes. The totals are not indicative of

Solar System Colonization – Comment on How to Terraform Venus video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-WO-z-QuWI (“terraform” OR “terraforming”) (“venus”) gives 14.3 Million entry points. There is certainly plenty of interest and people talking. The groups and individuals are just not working together effectively. (“planetary engineer” OR “planetary engineering”) has 34,600 entry points. Topic development on the Internet is generally mostly random and undirected. (“planetary” OR “planets”) (“engineering” OR “engineer”

Comment on Oregon State University Internet for MagnetoTellurics

https://ngf.oregonstate.edu/ngf-data-portal Hello, I have been looking at global sensor networks for the Internet Foundation. Now magnetotelluric networks. I notice you have data at IRIS, but for visitors to your OregonState.edu site, it seems hard to know where you data would be on IRIS.edu. I have been asking around, and there do not seem to be

Comment on Small and Large Gaps Between the Primes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp06oGD4m00 All this wonderful insight and technique, and most is lost because he does not store anything in the computer in a form that can be readily verified and improved upon. Yes, you can use symbolic math tools, rather than chalk. Human memory has carried us so far, but more people will benefit from communicating

Note about why I built Sculptor.Org

J, I talked to my sister, T, yesterday. She is one who has painted all her life. Maybe she will have time and space to do it again. For ten years, about 20 hours a week, back from about 1993 to 2003, I ran a website for sculptors. At the end it had 50,000 unique

Note to a dark sky site about renting cameras with telescopes and all sky needs of the world

I picked this because your example was “start at $600 per year”. But I have no idea what this does. Throwing a bunch of jargon at me means nothing. That picture of the equipment looks like a jumble of wires and objects. Can you see all parts of the sky? Does it run continuously? How

Comment on Pictor Open Source Radio Telescope – Recommendations

Just leave them the same as the last observation.  I am having to re-enter them ever time I make a request.  I am making series of requests.  Many people might.  Tell them how many files they will receive, how many

All sky cameras online should use lossless format and share with cities and schools and groups

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 I tracked down your allsky camera images. When will people realize that jpg is a lossy format and that the pixels are not true representations of the intensities and colors of small regions. I call it “eye candy”, only suitable for eyeballs, or the truly desperate who have nothing else. Please ask him to
