Ian Sample, science editor Doug is a 25-minute, nine-movement work for six singers that has been performed in its complete form precisely once, at Glasgow's Mitchell Library.
The selection of these sixty thousand is itself a wonder of modern sampling science, with complex computer models randomly selecting regions of the country, then buildings within those regions, then households within those buildings.
Recent advances in micro-receiver technology have further demonstrated a substantial increase in mass sensitivity [D.L. Olson, T.L. Peck, A.G. Webb, R.L. Magin, J.V. Sweedler, High-resolution microcoil H-1-NMR for mass-limited, nanoliter-volume samples, Science 270 (5244 199595) 1967 1970].
This paper reports on a series of experiments that were conducted on a partial-g parabolic flight campaign to determine key parameters of hoppers, designed for regolith sampling, science experiments, or in situ resource utilization (ISRU) processes on Moon or Mars.
Thus, in Study 5 we directly sampled natural-science students.
The company's material points out that this is the first show it has created since its pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair, where the exhibitions were designed by Charles Eames (who a few years earlier had created, with his wife, Ray, a landmark exhibition, "Mathematica," for I.B.M. that after a half-century is still impressive and readily sampled at major science museums).
Fred Grassle, as a member of the U.S. National Research Council committee that wrote a report advising a scientific approach to studying marine biodiversity, initiated discussions with Jesse Ausubel, a program officer for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, recognizing that science had sampled less than 0.1% of the volume of the oceans.
This scanned and sampled amalgam of several science-fiction worlds makes for a product that is just that: a product.
Although a history major, he sampled widely in the social sciences and did poorly in political science and economics while achieving some of his best grades (the equivalent of a B+) in philosophy and anthropology.
The program had its first test run in March, with 3800 people sampled from the Manchester area (Science, 17 March 2006, p. 1535; http://www.sciencemag.org/content/vol311/issue5767/s-scope.dtl top).dtl top
