Grr. Started flicking through BJOG for fun after someone completely mis-referenced an article I was looking for for long essay and I got distracted. Pre-eclampsia, one of the risk factors is first pregnancy With A New Partner. Yet I'm seeing a ton of "research" about pre-eclampsia in subsequent pregnancies that neglects to mention if the partner was the same as in the first, be that a pregnancy carried to term or a miscarriage. Grr. Without that bloody vital bit of information these are useless to me.

Telling me that women who've had a miscarriage are more likely to have pre-eclampsia on subsequent pregnancies* is not all that much use if you don't tell me that the partner is the same. *sigh* A simple "same partner? y/n" question mentioned would have sorted that. Which is really, really annoying, because we still don't know what causes PET. I'm going with boy germs. Hell, it's as valid a conclusion as the ones I'm readin'.

Hey, I've missed the staying up all night reading journals Sarah. Got quite ranty a few times today as well. Summer's here! I'm baaaack! HA!

Edit: Innnnnteresting, about to do some reading about whether or not oral intake of semen reduces risk of pre-eclampsia. Heh. Seriously, I love my job :)

Further edit: Oh my.

(Why, yes, I have a personal interest in the matter, too.)

07:00 pm - Low impact living in Wales

front.jpg

Looking to live simply and in harmony with the land they would raise their children on, one couple in Wales set out to build a hand crafted house on a modest budget.

The basic construction is a series of vertical posts in an oval, the tops of which are connected with horizontals. This ring of horizontal pieces makes what is conventionally referred to as a roofplate or wallplate. The horizontals are 'tennoned' into the posts although a simpler alternative is to 'half lap' the horizontals and use a metal bar / big nails to fix the joint on top of the post.

Their site has lots of details about the construction, theory behind the build, and ideology surrounding their choices. The photos page has full sized images of all the pictures on the site.

Turntables on the Dubrovniks


I found this picture many of years ago on someone's SoulSeek profile. Someone went to the trouble of setting up a (pair of?) Technics 1200s on the shore of the Dubrovniks and plunked a Dubrovniks 12" on it. Quite a bit of effort for such a subtle visual pun. Whomever did this, I salute them.

UPDATE 10/2006: Flickr user fjakone claimed to be the photographer and produced the original. EXIF data says he took it today, July 5th, 2002. Some German DJ is using it has the background pic on his MySpace page.

01:00 am - Battery desulfator

mini-d

Hack a Day favorite [Mikey Sklar] is back with a new project. Mini-D is a battery desulfator. If a 12V lead-acid battery sits with a voltage below 12.3V, sulfur crystals will begin to form on the lead plates. This crystal growth increases the internal resistance and eventually makes the battery unusable. A battery desulfator sends high frequency pulses through the battery to create a resonance that will break up the crystals. On a 60lb automotive battery, it will take approximately three weeks to completely desulfate. You can find schematics plus a dozen lines of code for the ATmega169 on his site. Embedded below is a video where he explains the device and other techniques like load testing.

11:45 pm - Capacitive discharge spot welder update

welder

It seems one of our commenters took great umbrage with [PodeCoet] not documenting his capacitive discharge cutting properly. [PodeCoet] had been waiting till he got the full spot welder working before publishing, but he’s expedited the work after all our whining. Check out his full writeup of the device in its current state. It uses a 1Farad audio cap for storage. A dsPIC monitors all of the voltage sources and regulates charging. A nice touch is the tactile switch on the electrode.
