what it measures is aerosol particles which are the very fine particles in the air. as we fly, it's in front of the plane because there would be engine exhaust if it was further back so it sees the air first. aerosol air comes through this probe and what is detected is the size of the particles. by simultaneously and collaboratively gathering their data the scientists will have better information to create new models for predicting the transport of pollution over wide geographic areas. molina: the objective of this study, of milagro, is to follow the plumes and find out where and how and when the plumes are transported to other regions. and so it is very important for us not only just to look at one site, but to look at various sites. narrator: to study the movement of plumes, the researchers have three main fixed ground sites -- "t0," located in the center of the city, and t1 and t2, two points north of the city where the prevailing winds are expected to carry the plumes. at these sites, research teams measure trace gases, aerosol concenations and solar-radiation le

beyond particles we know well, then that is possibly a subatomic particle, and yet it takes up 23% or so of the higher message of the inverse. so the paradox is that to explain faucher we see in the sky, to explain the galaxy, the entire expansion of university, you need a particle, perhaps 1000 times more massive than the particles that make up the atom in our bodies. and yet it's quite possible, so the big question mark nowadays is precisely that, how do we close the loop? had to explain the biggest case which is bounded by the dark matter particles with points like particles that, you know, its of no special extend. so this is why this question, they merge together the biggest case, world by gravity, the part of physics which are well by other forms of physics and understand what we really need to do we need to find a new theory that merges the four forces of the universe come including gravity which we haven't found yet. you're putting your fear exotic on the whole topic today, and that's very much a question that remains open. we don't have an answer to that yet. >> i'm a writer

when a particle was inside a cell it will replicate like bad. that replication cycle peaks 80 hours after it enters the cell and and then turning that into a factory to make more virus particles. then it gets a plump shape and bend the particles begin growing. to have thousands and thousands of particles the virus takes its sweet time. they tend to last a lot longer in it dash very quickly and to have the ability to keep that host cell alive longer. >> in west africa the net effect on human as more and more cells are infected to spew out thousands of particles and with a droplet of blood that the end of the ebola infection the blood is loaded with these particles nobody understands how the person dies of the bowl of fire is. but clinically we know that capillary walls lose integrity and blood and blood plasma will seep out of the blood vessels. and then it starts clotting. and then it throws tiny clots everywhere in the body and then the patient can begin to have coverages to have multiple organ failure to go into shock. it is hard to point to a

this is an image of one of the particles of ebola. the virus particle looks like a strand of spaghetti, and it's composed of only seven structural pro the teens that are knitted -- proteins that are knitted into this wormlike, spaghettilike shape. there are three additional enzymes that operate in various stages of the replication process of the vir on-- the particle. right inside the particle is a strand of rna which contains the genetic code of the virus. ebola virus, one recent sample of it they counted 18,979 layers of rna which is a very small genome by the standards of life. the human genome is something like three billion letters of dna. and there are orchids that have, i believe, up to 10-12 billion letters of dna in their genomes. it would seem that there are some orchids that are perhaps much more complicated than human beings. ebola virus is considered to be a biosafety level iv agent for which there is no vaccine and no cure. so if you're in laboratory, you need to be wearing a very high degree of bioprotective gear in ord

and yet it's a point particle. so the big question mark nowdays is precisely that how do we close the loop. how do we explain the biggest case of cosmology the entire structure we see in the universe, which is document dominated by the dark matter particle with a opinion-like particle that is of no special extent, and this is why this question is so fundamental for the entirety of physics but a they merge together the biggest case which are ruled by gravity to the smallest cases which are ruled by other force, and to understand it what we really need to do, we need to find a new theory that merges the four forces of the universe, click gravity, which we haven't found yet. and so it -- you're putting your finger exactly on the whole topic today and that's very much a question that remains open. we don't have an answer to that either. >> i'm a write sore i'm cure -- i'm a write sore i'm curious how this project influenced holiday you write and communicate when you write your scientific research papers. >> thank you.

the titres of the virus or the quantity of the particles goes up astronomically. and at the end of the ebola infection the bloodstream is really loaded with these particles. nobody understands how person dies of the ebola virus but clinically we know the blood vessels begin to leak and capillary blood is all to the body they just lose their integrity and blood and plasma begin to seep out of the vessels. it also triggers clotting that will continue. you get something that's rose a tiny plots everywhere in the body than eventually that clotting factor is used up then that patients can have hemorrhages to have multiple organ failure than going into shock. and then when they are in shock. think of a droplet of blood that covers one-fifth said your pinkie finger and tell and it is infectious and laboratory experiments suggest as you introduced into the human bloodstream. but as the ebola outbreak widens hospitals became overwhelmed with ebola patients. one of them was in sierra leone. but for many years and had a laboratory for investigating the virus that was another

if dark matter is a new particle beyond what we know about it is quite possibly a subatomic particle that has no special extent. and yet it takes up 23% of the mass energy of the universe. so to explain the galexy and expans of the universe you need a particle that is pragmatic and a thousand times more than the atoms that make up the ones in our body. the big question in cosmology is that: how do we close the loop and explain the structures we see in the universe with a point-like particle of no special extent. this is why the questions are important for physics. they merge together the rules of gravity to the smallest case that are ruled by other forces and to understand it we need to find a new theory that merges the four forces of the universe. you are putting your finger on a hot topic and that is a question that remains open. we don't have an answer to that either. >> i'm a writer so i am curious how this project has influenced how you write and communicate your scientific papers. >> thank you. that is an interesting angle from me being a writer. i can liberate it because when

the density of the fine particles were over 15 times the world health organization recommended level. some users in the country are criticizing the country. others say the leaders wanted to save their faces and not the health of people. we have more on this story. our meteorologist joining us with the current situation in beijing. >> yes. the condition in beijing is little better compared to what we saw wednesday. still air quality index is at the hazardous level. unfortunately staying that way into your friday but a bit of improvement into the weekend. winds are picking up. in shanghai, you'll see the smoggy conditions worsening over the weekend. that will affect those people with respiratory problems. across peninsula staying dry. we have a fire alert posted. if you use fire, watch out. a heavy snow maker is moving over china and south eastern russia. some could reach the western parts of alcado by friday. rain is falling over the south of the country region including tokyo. that should go away adds we go to tomorrow. down to the south, rain is lingering of the peninsula. another ba

we knew that amphibole mineral was an important fraction of these tailings particles.knew that some amphibole minerals, particularly the grunerite, which was in the tailings, can occur as asbestos, and that is associated with human health hazards, particularly for cancer. um... what we didn't know was whether these particular amphibole particles in the water occurred as fibers. so we took samples of the water and looked at it by electron microscopy and saw that, indeed, some of the amphibole particles were, indeed, fiber shaped. that was kind of a shocking revelation to us. oh, i think it alarmed an awful lot of people. i think the first response was for an awful lot of people to get very active, very quickly. there was a petition, i think, with something like 10,000 names presented to the mayor of duluth insisting that something be done about this. schoumacher: duluth responded by building a new filtration system, but that didn't stop the protests. and we are, too, we're their neighbors. we all drink out of the same lake. it's all our country. if... uh... i don't know

he will demonstrate a magnetic particle test. using these two magnetic rods, he places these at the crack, and he will sprinkle the steel shavings over the crack, which helps us identify the depth of the crack. thank you, larry. station three to my immediate right -- he will be demonstrating the drilling and tapping. the first step was to drill a hole, and now he is going to tap it. thank you, gerald. to my immediate left, station for, this will be performed by chris nutter. this is going to be the finish station, the finish grinding. the pen is inserted. the head will be torqued off when it reaches the correct torque level. there are five pins per inch of repair. now he is going to demonstrate the grinding the heads off. then at station five, we have ryan. then at station five, we have ryan. ryan is going to show a specialized jig, to show how 18 holes are drilled to create that special dog bone cavity. after all 18 holes are drilled, it will get hammered into place. once the lock is in place, it will be ground smooth. thank you

thinking about all the time what gives me solaces the process of extrapolation with the smallest particles that are measurable to think that our universe might be commensurate to the smallest particle ever measured that there could be multi verses many universe people say like it is a really long time. but they don't get that concept. i wonder if there is any scientific value to that extrapolation? >> yes. we cannot prove it in any way but yes. that existence of dark energy it could be a tiny little part and here is a picture of that perhaps. that 50 million years that we can see around us it is infinite. but all of that is a tiny piece their differing kinds of universes'. so that explains that mystery of the dark push. we don't know if we did it ever be able to disprove the idea is so it is very controversial at the heart of one of the biggest questions ever what the reality looks like. people will still have these kinds of ideas absolutely. >> thanks to the audience here now the commonwealth club meeting is adjourned.

according to the principles of physics, when you have a process in quantum mechanics of particles being entangled, they influence each other even when they're apart, even across long distances. and that is what we're seeing with this phenomenon in the real world of dirty entanglements, that once these processes, the corruption, crime, and terrorism, interact, they are not confined to a single space but have an influence that extends much more globally. we see all of this with isis. today's front-pain story in the "washington post" is of gangster who snatched a syrian rebel fighter and were to deliver him to isis. with isis' huge financial resources, they could pay hundreds of millions -- hundreds of thousands to the gangsters, and in this corrupt environment, in which there is no border security, the gangsters, isis, could exert their influence. so there we are with the dirty entanglements on the front page of the "washington post." look at the lead article today in the "new york times." it's talking about the large number of youth who are leaving from tunisia to be fighters in -- for i

one of the possible explanation for this are microscopic particles. the arena has shifted to the desert and all the pounding and dust combined with toxin chemicals can be breathed in and because they are so small they can get into lungs. that's one possible explanation. we don't know. open air burst, there are about 300 in the middle east. where they would take the garbage and put everything in open air pits. dead animals, they would put them altogether and pour jet fuel on them and set them on fire. the problem is that this huge smoke columns can get into people's living quarters especially when the wind blows. where this is going, we don't know, but right now it's serious enough that the va has started an open burn pit registry in case this is affecting them. there is an agent orange registry, the va has an open registry for burn pits. when we look at the vietnam war veterans, 7500 live in san francisco, 2050 living with ptsd, we don't know how many have been affected to agent orange, but many conditions. one thing we noted in our housing sites and

the north bay will see probably the highest concentrations of smoke particle pollution there tomorrow. what we need is some more winds to come up and obviously some rain to get this pollution out of our skies. not going to see it heading into tomorrow morning. it will be a chilly start for 40s and 50s. as we go back to the workweek, we'll finally see a chance of rain. we'll let you know when in a few minutes. >>> now to a follow-up. a nurse that fought an ebola quarantine in maine has decided to move out of the state. kaci's boyfriend says they'll be moving out of maine soon. you see her there riding her bicycle. nobody wants to talk to her. she has shown no signs of the deadly virus. >>> nurses do plan a two day strike next week. they're demanding higher ebola treating standards. kaiser is failing to adopt optimal protections against ebola. kaiser denies that. all the facilities if northern california will remain open during the nurse's strike. >>> a utah girl grabbed from her bedroom. her stepfather faces off with her kidnapper. >>> also stargazers celebrating in the bay area the ca
