The first project is for a fuel cell hybrid solution, but the product is also targeted mild and full hybrids for normal combustion engines, whether based on gasoline, diesel, or bio-fuels.

The fuel cell hybrid solution is developed together with a German customer for a 25kW system based on a PEM fuel cell in combination with a battery and a supercapacitor. The cost efficient scalability and the modular development approach secure cost efficient solutions from 10kW up to 300kW.

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) opened his first notebook about "the species question" in 1837, not long after his return from the voyage of the Beagle.  By 1838, he had developed the basic outline of his theory of natural selection to explain the evolution of species.  He spent the next 20 years developing the theory and marshalling evidence in favour of both the fact that species are related through common descent and his particular theory to explain this.  After receving word that another naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), had independently come upon the same theory, he assembled his work for publication, first in a joint paper with Wallace presented to the Linnean Society of London in 1858 and then his "abstract", On the Origin of Species, in 1859.

Some authors have argued that Edward Blyth (1810-1873), an acquaintance of Darwin's, developed the central idea of selection in an 1835 paper in the Magazine of Natural History.  For example, Eiseley and Grote (1959) claimed that "the leading tenets of Darwin's work -- the struggle for existence, variation, natural selection and sexual selection are all fully expressed in Blyth's 1835 paper", from which they then quoted the following:

A few years ago Voyager 1 entered the final frontier, that place where the solar wind becomes denser and hotter and pressure from gas between stars causes it to slow - the Termination Shock.

Now that Voyager 2 has reached its edge of the solar system, just under 7 billion miles from Earth, it has confirmed what astrophysicists had believed - the conflict between the solar wind and the interstellar wind has made that part of the solar system slightly squashed.

New research findings say that if we get smart about diet, even our intelligence can improve.

In an MIT study published in The FASEB Journal, gerbils were given various combinations of three compounds needed for healthy brain membranes: choline, found in eggs; uridine monophosphate (UMP) found in beets; and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish oils. Other gerbils were given none of these to serve as a baseline.

They were checked for cognitive changes four weeks later and the scientists found that the gerbils given choline with UMP and/or DHA showed cognitive improvements in tasks thought to be relevant to gerbils, such as navigating mazes. After these tests were concluded, the researchers dissected the mouse brains for a biological cause for the improvement. They found biochemical evidence that there was more than the usual amount of brain synapse activity, which was consistent with behaviors indicating higher intelligence.
