The next 10 years of biostatistics

I return to an article on the future of statistics written by Sir Maurice Kendall some 30 years ago. I draw some parallels between the state of general statistics at that time and the state of biostatistics today, and try to learn from the successes and omissions in Sir Maurice's predictions to make my own limited projections for the next 10 years.

Rigid cellular PVC—the next house siding material?

The technology for extruding rigid cellular PVC has grown substantially over the past decade. Formulation additives, tooling, and processing expertise have made possible a variety of applications—relatively complex profiles, foam-core pipe, thermoformable foam sheet, and house siding. In the U.S. market, vinyl house siding is typically a relatively thin extrusion that is folded into a final shape that resembles wood cladding in appearance. An alternative to conventional form vinyl siding could be a foam structure that is thicker and stiffer than the solid form, and with a density similar to that of wood. This paper presents several performance advantages of rigid cellular PVC cladding in comparison to the current solid product, in addition to mentioning certain limitations that exist in the foam product that is produced with the technology available today.     

新一代CD防拷技术即将推出

SonyBMG唱片厂商将试行英国First 4Internet公司发明的新式CD防拷技术,这类音乐CD最快于2005年初摆上美国市场的货架。 多家唱片大厂在部分试听用途的CD中早就采用了这家英国厂商的技术版本,比如最近发行的Eminem和U2的专辑中都应用了该技术。 尽管新力音乐公司在其它地区和国家已经采用了防拷技术的CD,但在美国市场还是头一遭。BMG公司是新力的新搭档,在2004年就已经发行了少量防拷CD。 SonyBMG的代表拒绝对该计划发表评论。First 4 Internet公司执行长Mathew Gilliat-     

Ceramics into next millennium

Abstract

Overpopulation is the overriding problem of the twenty-first century, and water is key to human survival. Irrigation, desalination, filtration, and aquaculture are the key technologies and, given the natural abundance of oxides, ceramics are the key materials. High strength saline cements, semipermeable membranes, antibacterial coatings, limestone farming, accretion chemistry, and sonar systems for massive fish farms are concepts worthy of consideration in the twenty-first century. All will involve the use of vast amounts of oxide materials, mainly cement, concrete, synthetic coral, together with ceramic membranes and transducers. The scaling up process for engineering megaworks will be matched by equally interesting scaling down processes in which ceramic, electronic, and optical components are made smaller and smaller until they disappear inside integrated inorganic systems which rival biological systems both in scale and complexity. The age of engineering microworks is upon us, and in the coming century a global system will evolve which involves the integration of human and machine intelligence.
