Bonjour a tous,
Je recherche des paradoxes scientifiques ! Je m'explique : la science
permet souvent d'etablir des resultats qui defient completement le sens
physique voire le bon sens commun. Par exemple, quel non scientifique
irait s'imaginer qu'un avion est plus petit en vol qu'au sol ?
Par consequent, quel que soit votre domaine, si vous connaissez de pres
ou de loin, des "phenomenes", quels qu'ils soient, qui peuvent paraitre
surprenants au commun des mortels, je vous remercie de me les decrire.
Je recherche d'autre part des pieds-de-nez scientifiques, du type de la
demonstration mathematique (truquee heureusement) de 2=1.
N'hesitez pas a m'envoyer vos suggestions, tout m'interesse ...
Merci d'avance.
Subject: [CFD Jobs Database] Monthly Summary, End of November
From: jola@tfd.chalmers.se

This is a monthly summary of all new jobs in the CFD Jobs Database -
a free WWW based service where anyone can advertise open positions
in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The CFD Jobs Database
can be found at:
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se:8080/CFD_Jobs/index.phtml
Please visit the WWW page for further details about the jobs.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to recommend all employers with
open positions in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics to submit
them to the database. It's free, and with almost 200 visitors every
day it's a very efficient way to recruit CFD experts. A typical job
posted in the database generates 4 applications/day!
I'm sorry about the crosspost, but severeal people have asked me
to post a summary to all CFD related groups. I'm a bit hesitant myself
if this is good, so if you have any comments or suggestions about
the groups I post it to, please let me know.

One who does Drafting via CAD is a CAD Technician. A person on a
Survey Crew is a Survey Crewman (composed of an Instrument man, a
Rodman and sometimes a Chainman - NOTE: replace person in place of
MAN to be politically correct!)
