quiet

QUIET was an astronomy experiment to study the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. QUIET stands for Q/U Imaging ExperimenT. The Q/U in the name refers to the ability of the telescope to measure the Q and U Stokes parameters simultaneously. QUIET was located at an elevation of 5,080 metres (16,700 feet) at Llano de Chajnantor Observatory in the Chilean Andes. It began observing in late 2008 and finished observing in December 2010.QUIET iwas the result of an international collaboration that had its origins in the CAPMAP, Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) and QUaD collaborations. The collaboration consisted of 7 groups in the United States (the California Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of Miami, Princeton University and Stanford University), 4 groups in Europe (the University of Manchester, the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie Bonn, the University of Oslo and the University of Oxford) and one group in Japan (KEK; the first time a Japan group has been involved in CMB studies). Other members of the collaboration are from the University of California, Berkeley, the Goddard Space Flight Center and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

    Bosch dishwasher: no water entering but can hear a quiet motor

    Can’t find the model but this Bosch dishwasher is at least 10 maybe 15 years old. During the first wash for months yesterday it failed to finish, with a rather rough motor sound continuing until I eventually switched off power. It was clearly near the end, but it seemed that the final rinse had...

    This is why the forum was quiet before.....

    Just watching the stats of users online right now. Seeing what the percentage of devices being used is. And it's nearly all mobile and tablet. So the old style just wasn't working for those guys. Now all of those (and half are mobile!) can browse the forum using a really neat design that...

    Quiet macerator toilet

    Does anyone use macerator toilets? I have potential space problems getting the soil pipe of a new bathroom to the main soil stack, but i could potentially solve this using a macerator toilet as it's waste pipe is narrower. However, given that the WC will be right next to a bedroom separated by...
