Attempts by the Reserve Bank of Australia to talk down what it sees as overpriced housing markets in Sydney and Melbourne have had some impact, according to real estate agents.

All Directions Are Not Created Equal For Nanoscale Heat Sources

Thermal considerations are rapidly becoming one of the most serious design constraints in microelectronics, especially on submicron scale lengths. A study by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has shown that standard thermal models will lead to the wrong answer in a three-dimensional heat-transfer problem if the dimensions of the heating element are on the order of one micron or smaller.

Human-Related Climate Change Led to Extreme Heat, Scientists Say
2014-09-29 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The savage heat waves that struck Australia in 2013 were almost certainly a direct consequence of the human release of greenhouse gases, researchers said Monday. It is perhaps the most definitive statement climate scientists have made that ties a specific weather event to global warming. Five groups of researchers, using distinct methods, analyzed the heat that baked Australia for much of last year and continued into 2014, shutting down the Australian Open tennis tournament at one point in January....
