What Is Engineering Software?
Click Here To Know More About: Mining Truck Shovel Australia Australia Mining Truck What is Engineering Software? by Adam Nicolson When people think of engineering software they usually automatically assume that it is some form of drawing software. Whilst this is true there is far more to engineering software than that. Engineering software providers offer a massive range of software to a huge array of different kinds of engineers. Each engineering discipline needs its own unique set of software tools. For example, a CAD drawing package has very little usefulness for an engineer working as a chemist. Therefore, the range of software is huge and is, out of necessity, relatively industry specific. Engineering Software for Structural Engineers [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Q7KwNPgD8[/youtube] Engineers need to draw complex and intricate plans, so understandably there are indeed plenty of CAD (Computer Aided Design) software packages in the market place designed specifically for them. They vary from…
UK retailers MFI and Woolworths collapse
Friday, November 28, 2008 Two major retail chains in the United Kingdom — general retailer Woolworths Group and furniture vendor MFI Group — have entered administration. Entertainment UK — which distributes videos and DVDs to retailers and are owned by Woolworths — have also entered administration. “The boards of Woolworths PLC and Entertainment UK Ltd have concluded that there is no longer any prospect of those businesses being able to operate as a going concern,” said a Woolworths statement. Woolworths, who sells household goods, music and other items, owns 815 stores nationwide, and MFI owns 111. MFI CEO Gary Favell said he had “secured the future of the MFI business” in September when he led a management buyout, but cracks rapidly appeared.

PlayStation 3 will be used to help cure cancer and Alzheimer’s
Monday, August 28, 2006 The upcoming Sony PlayStation 3 game console is going to assist scientists in finding cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s disease using the Folding@home distributed computing program. Folding@home is run by the Pande group of Stanford University (America) to research protein folding, this is the process whereby proteins build themselves inside the cells in the body. Analyisis of how proteins fold (specifically how the folding goes wrong) can give insights into how diseases form. The simulation processes used in the research take months just for a single protein so the data is split into small packets (called workunits by the community) and distributed to volunteers around the world. By downloading a program called a ‘client’ users can receive units and perform the simulations on them – results are then sent back to the Stanford servers. Currently more than 150,000 computers run the folding ‘client’ worldwide. The new…
Rocketeers find possible impact crater in Nevada
Friday, March 9, 2007 Imagine coming back from a camping trip in the desert. Then a few months later you notice in your photos from the trip that you camped inside a giant impact crater so big that no one documented it before. Could it happen? During several trips to the Black Rock Desert, mostly while supporting the Stratofox Aerospace Tracking Team for suborbital space rocket launch efforts, Ian Kluft KO6YQ noticed some oddities in rock formations. He had a little experience with volcanoes, and some rocks in the area looked unusual. There seemed to be some lava here and there – but where was the volcano? He observed that even a large caldera should have mostly volcanic rocks. He then noticed some curved geographic structures in satellite imagery which made him curious if it might be an impact crater. A TV documentary about meteor impacts mentioned some characteristics of…
