NASA scrubs launch of climate research satellite
A United Launch Alliance Delta 2 rocket carrying a NASA climate research satellite was grounded Thursday by high winds above the Vandenberg Air Force Base launch site northwest of Los Angeles.
There were no technical problems with the rocket and its satellite payload and NASA managers told the launch team to recycle the countdown for a second attempt Friday at 9:20 a.m. EST (GMT-5; 6:20 a.m. local time), the opening of a three-minute window. Forecasters are predicting good weather.
Conditions appeared ideal at Space Launch Complex 2 on Thursday, but weather balloons indicated a sharp wind shear 34,000 feet above the pad. NASA and ULA continued the countdown in hopes conditions would improve, but subsequent balloons showed no significant change and managers ordered a 24-hour delay.
The Soil Moisture Active Passive -- SMAP -- satellite perched atop the Delta 2 is the centerpiece of a $916 million program to map water, frozen and liquid, in the top few inches of soil around the world to help researchers improve near-term weather forecasts, better understand the causes and impacts of droughts, floods and other natural disasters and to improve long-range climate change projections.
Using a rotating 19.7-foot-wide mesh antenna to map out a 620-mile-wide swath as it orbits Earth's poles, the 2,000-pound satellite will use a powerful radiometer to "see" the moisture, liquid and frozen, in the top few inches of soil and a radar to improve the resolution, or scale, of the measurements.
The result will be a global map of soil moisture updated every two to three days, allowing near-real-time analysis of weather and sudden environmental changes around the world. It also will shed light on long-range changes to the planet's climate, helping scientists better understand the the role of ground moisture in the water, energy and carbon cycles that are critical to life.
"The fraction of water that's in soil is actually tiny, it's much less than 1 percent," said Dara Entekhabi, leader of the SMAP science team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "About 97 percent of the water in the globe is locked up in the oceans and the rest is in the cryosphere, the ice.
"But that small percentage that's in the soil is rather important and very active, because it's what's interacting with the terrestrial biosphere, with the vegetation, it's what determines how much runoff occurs due to incident precipitation, how much fresh water there is in the rivers and lakes. It's a tiny amount, but a very important amount."
Case in point: the ongoing California drought. SMAP data will help scientists get a better understanding of the processes that contribute to such phenomena on a global scale.
"The measurements that SMAP makes will be direct measurements of the indicator of agricultural drought, which is the deficit in soil moisture," Entekhabi said. "So it will produce a high resolution ... map of the drought. But droughts are initiated, forced and maintained by much larger-scale processes, things such as the interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere over land and over continental regions, land and the atmosphere.

Safety panel accuses NASA of a lack of transparency in critical space program
NASAs independent safety panel accused the agency of a lack of transparency about its program to hire commercial space companies to fly astronauts to the International Space Station, saying the opacity could create increased safety risks.
In its annual report to Congress, the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel said the lack of communication about critical safety measures has been a concern for a number of years. And it made it impossible for the panel to offer any informed opinion regarding the adequacy of the certification process or the sufficiency of safety in what is known as the commercial crew program.
The "failure to engage in open and transparent communication is reminiscent of the problems" surrounding the causes of the fatal Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, according to the report released Wednesday.
Last year, NASA awarded contracts to Boeing and SpaceX to ferry astronauts to space in what was considered a major shift for the agency. Instead of owning and operating the spacecraft, NASA is essentially hiring the two companies to transportastronauts in an arrangement some have likened to a rental car agreement.
For Boeing, the contract is worth up to $4.2 billion; SpaceX, which said it could perform the work for less, was awarded a contract valued at $2.6 billion.
Although NASA has said it will ensure that the companies meet rigorous safety standards to be certified for the missions, the panel said the agency is operating at relative arms length while concurrently fostering the development of a commercial market. The panel strongly believes open communication and transparency are essential to ensuring the safety of the program.
In a statement, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said that safety remains our top priority. Agency officials said they were unable to talk openly about the program while a third competitor for the contract, Sierra Nevada, protested the award. However, once the Government Accountability Office denied that protest earlier this month, NASA officials said they were able to more openly discuss their plans. In a newsconference this week, they said that Boeing and SpaceX were making significant progress toward launching the first mission in late 2017 or early 2018.
The safety panel noted that after three years of asking for safety and certification information, it started to receive some late last year. But it said NASA was forthcoming only "after the panel made it clear that this failure to share information would be covered in this report."

Global Nanotechnology Market to Reach $64.2 Billion in 2019; Nanodevices Segment Surging at 34% CAGR
Wellesley, Mass. (PRWEB) January 29, 2015
BCC Research (http://www.bccresearch.com) reveals in its new report, Nanotechnology: A Realistic Market Assessment, that the global market for nanotechnology is expected to grow to $64.2 billion by 2019, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Nanodevices, the fastest moving segment of the overall market, are anticipated to move at a tremendous 34% CAGR.
Nanotechnology the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems through the manipulation of matter at scales of less than 100 nanometers continues to have a broad and fundamental impact on nearly all sectors of the global economy, including the biomedical, electronics, energy, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries.
Nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticles and nanoscale thin films, dominated the nanotechnology market in 2013, accounting for 78.8% of the market. This segment is predicted to grow to $52.7 billion by 2019 and register a healthy 20.7% CAGR.
Meanwhile, the nanotools category, which is comprised of devices that are used to manipulate or measure nanoscale objects or substances, accounted for 21% of the 2013 nanotechnology market. This segment is expected to reach nearly $11.3 billion by 2019 to register a solid CAGR of 16.2%
However, the nanodevices category, which was valued at just $39 million in 2013, is projected to surge to $183.4 million in 2019. This growth will primarily be driven by increasing consumer demand for smaller and more powerful electronic devices.

Global Nanotechnology Market to Reach $64.2 Billion in 2019; Nanodevices Segment Surging at 34% CAGR
Made-in-Singapore test kit detects dengue in 20 minutes
SINGAPORE: A new rapid test kit will soon allow dengue diagnosis in just 20 minutes, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) said in a news release on Thursday (Jan 29).
The paper-based disposable device developed by the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) of A*STAR detects dengue antibodies in saliva.
This is faster than the current diagnosis process of taking blood samples and testing it in a laboratory for dengue antigens or antibodies. Unlike blood samples, saliva can be collected easily and painlessly.
The kit can also detect dengue antibodies from early-stage secondary infections of dengue. Patients with secondary infections, who have previously contracted different strains of the dengue virus, stand a higher risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.
"The ability to differentiate between primary and secondary dengue infections makes it a valuable early diagnosis tool that would help to ensure timely treatment and proper care of patients," said IBN Executive Director Professor Jackie Y Ying.
Early diagnosis is crucial as the incubation period before dengue symptoms develop generally ranges from four to ten days after infection, and timely intervention can help prevent further complications.
Typically, paper-based tests are not designed to handle large volumes of saliva required, but the design of IBN's rapid test kit allows that.
Researchers hope to make the device as easy to use as over-the-counter pregnancy or fertility test kits, and may adapt it to detect other infectious diseases.
The institute is currently collaborating with ARKRAY Inc. to commercialise the technology.

This Nano Skin Could Let Us Watch Life at the Smallest Scales
One of biologys most powerful tools has an ironic limitation: It can only look at dead things. The field emission scanning electron microscopelets just call it FE-SEM from here on out, deal?gave scientists theirfirst views of DNAs double helix, helped them understand how various insects are engineered, and revealed the human immunodeficiency virusthe germthat causes AIDS. The FE-SEM is great for seeing teeny tiny things in realistic detail, but in order to bounce electrons off those surfaces and produce an image, it needs a vacuum. And for living things, vacuum = death.
Well, not anymore. A team of Japanese researchers has developed a chemical coating that allows them to put living things inside anFE-SEMs vacuum chamber without first sucking the life out of them. This would give scientists the ability to observebiological processes as they happen. The researchers call their invention a NanoSuit. Chemically similar to a food preservative, the NanoSuit shields a specimen in a nanometer-thin, flexible coat that keeps moisture in without disturbing the electron backscatter that the microscope picks up. In short, NanoSuit saves lives. Germ lives and bug lives, but still.
NanoSuitalso saves a ton of prep time. For a non-NanoSuited specimen, researchers first have to use chemicals to kill and dry out the target. But that technique distorts the way a specimens surface actually looks. Takahiko Hariyama, a biomemetics researcher at Hamamatsu University School of Medicine in Japan and co-inventor of the NanoSuit, says the coatingallowed him to see for the first time an insects body unsullied by chemicals and dehydration. After being dipped, dried, and placed in the vacuum chamber, the beetles, sand hoppers, and mosquito larvae used in this experiment continued to wriggle and paw under the microscope. Insects have plenty of air in their bodies, and therefore can survive for an hour with active movement, Hariyama says. The coating is a solution of distilled water and Tween 20, a food preservative.
But FE-SEM didnt make its mark on biology by only looking at bugs. Electrons are capable of letting researchers see things down to the cellular levelat a scale of around 0.6 nanometers. Hariyama says this scale should be no problem for NanoSuit. If true, this would allow people to see, in three dimensions, everything from genome transcription to the progression of cancerous tissue. With the FM-SEMs level of resolution, these real-time views could lead to new and better treatments. And while Hariyama says he and his co-authors have seen good results using NanoSuit to monitor living cellular life in the lab, the paper describing those experiments is still undergoing peer review. Proof of concept, in other words, is still pending.

What is Nano-Engineering? | Engineers Australia
Nanoengineering is the application extension of Nanotechnology, which is a collective term for a range of new technologies that involve the manipulation of matter at small scales, typically 0.2-100 nanometres. Such capability enables us to invent, design and utilize a large array of new materials and new devices in innovative applications that have not been possible before. It is an emerging field of technological development with a strong thrust internationally. It is predicted to impact on practically every major sector of engineering, from consumer goods, health care and medicine, food and agriculture, to space technology, telecommunications, environment and energy, to name a few.
Nanoengineering is increasingly recognised in Australia as a key emerging development with wide-ranging industrial and social impacts in the next few decades. The Federal Government has set up a number of initiatives, often with State government support, including R&D funding, national research networks and industrial workforces, to support and to facilitate development in this new field.
In a specific sense, "Nanoengineering" may be viewed as a middle stage in a full spectrum of technological development from nanoscience to nanotechnology to nanoengineering and to commericalisation.
It has been a keen attempt by many scientists, engineers and industrialists to set a clear definition of "nanotechnology". The main viewpoints and attributes of "nanotechnology" may be summarised as the following:

Available for logged-in reporters only
The California Department of Public Health issued today the State Health Officers Report on E-Cigarettes, a health advisory to inform the public of the health risks posed by the marketing, sale and use of electronic cigarettes tobacco-less, battery-operated devices that spritz flavored vapor into the mouth.
These products have gained swift popularity due to fewer restrictions than cigarettes, particularly on who can use them and where. There is also a strong belief among some users that these products are safer, making them more socially acceptable. In addition, e-cigarette makers have marketed flavors such as bubble gum and peach fuzz, which tend to attract younger consumers.
John P. Pierce, PhD, professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and director for population sciences at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center whose 1992 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) paper on secondhand smoke exposure led to the first statewide law requiring smoke-free workplaces in California, is available to discuss the report, the use of e-cigarettes, cessation claims, increased use among young people, and marketing.

Samsung's profit slides as mobile power wanes
Samsung Electronics' smartphone business saw a slide in operating profit of 64 percent in fourth quarter results reported Thursday, as competition from Apple at the high end and Xiaomi and Lenovo at the low end cut into business. But its semiconductor business improved thanks to increased demand for its DRAM. Overall, net profit fell for the third quarter in a row, this time by 27 percent from a year earlier.
Apple ties with Samsung for smartphone market share
The iPhone 6 has sold so well that Apple tied with Samsung for the top position in the smartphone market in the fourth quarter, closing the gap with its South Korean competitor. Both Apple and Samsung shipped 74.5 million smartphones during the period, each claiming close to 20 percent share of the market, research firm Strategy Analytics said.
Qualcomm issues a warning as "major customer" defects
Samsung may be fending off competitors on all sides but it's still a hugely important customer in the mobile space, and its rumored decision not to use Qualcomm's 64-bit Snapdragon 810 in its upcoming Galaxy S6 smartphone may be hitting the chipmaker hard. Qualcomm said revenue from its chip division will be lower than expected in the second half of the year, in part because the 810 "will not be in the upcoming design cycle of a large customer's flagship device."
Amazon takes the email fight to Google and Microsoft
Amazon.com is getting ready to jump into the online hosted apps space, with an email service that will go up against Gmail and Microsoft's cloud-based email. The offering is said to be called WorkMail, and targets the enterprise.

3 things expected to increase in 2015: waistlines, stress levels and shadow IT
'With a bit of energy and a steady focus, 2015 can still be your best year yet for cloud security'
New Year, new start. Whether its buying a gym membership, resolving finally to stop smoking or redoubling your efforts to land a dream job, the start of a new year is traditionally seen as an excuse to fix something thats wrong in your life.
Equally, a new year can drive new focus in our professional lives. Whether its to finally tackle that out of control Inbox, cut network downtime or get a handle on shadow IT within the organisation, resolutions are set with the greater good in mind.
But despite the best of intentions, it can sometimes be hard to keep our personal and professional resolutions. It may be the end of January, when no doubt many resolutions are already on the wane (where did I put that gym card?), but its not too late to get a grip on your employees shadow IT usage in 2015.
>See also:Why shadow IT is a blessing in disguise for IT departments
Shadow IT snuck into the spotlight in 2014 and, according to research, the phenomenon is set to grow ever more prevalent in 2015 this is no New Year fad! Netskopes January 2015 Cloud Report found that on average there are now 613 cloud apps in use within an organisation, up from 579 in Q3 2014.
Many of these apps are business-critical, but the report shows that 88% are not enterprise-ready. Perhaps most worrying is the fact that the majority of cloud apps are unsanctioned meaning that IT is totally in the dark about their use.
Faced with these sorts of challenges, its hardly surprising that data breaches are on the rise. IT departments are battling to remain vigilant to seemingly invisible threats. Cloud apps are a pain point for three main reasons: businesses cant manage what they cant see, and unsanctioned cloud apps will remain invisible without careful introspection; cloud apps are accessed by a growing number of devices, and networks are consequently becoming increasingly amorphous; and many cloud apps enable simple content sharing, making it easy to expose data and potentially sensitive information.
Vive la resolution
So how do you ensure your professional resolutions dont go the way of your Dry January efforts? Whats the solution? With careful planning, clever policy and staff coaching, it is possible to enjoy the productivity and convenience of cloud apps without the increased risk of data loss or theft. Here are five practical steps organisations can take to improve their cloud app security stance:
