Chris. ===================================================================== Excerpt (by George Woltman) from The Mersenne Newsletter, issue #13 February 2, 1998 37th Known Mersenne Prime Discovered!!! - Congratulations to Roland Clarkson. On January 27th he discovered that 2^3021377 - 1 is prime! This prime number is 909,526 digits long. The computation took 46 days part-time on his 200-MHz Pentium computer. David Slowinski confirmed the find on January 31st. Roland is a 19 year-old sophmore at California State University Dominguez Hills. He is the third youngest Mersenne prime discoverer - behind Noll and Nickel. Incredibly, this was only the 8th exponent he has tested! Unlike the previous GIMPS finds, Roland let the PrimeNet server (see Program News below) choose the lucky exponent. At first, he did not want to test the exponent. Roland said, "I never would have imagined two Mersenne primes would be so close together!". In fact, in percentage terms, the gap between the 36th and 37th Mersenne primes is the smallest ever. To acknowledge Scott Kurowski's work on the PrimeNet server and every GIMPS participants diligent work, official credit for this prime will go to "Clarkson, Woltman, Kurowski, et.al.".

Warum wollen Sportler immer schneller laufen, immer höher springen oder eine Kugel immer weiter stoßen? Warum reisen Menschen zum Nordpol, zum Südpol oder zum Mond? Es ist nicht leicht, diese Fragen zu beantworten. Rationale Gründe, so etwas zu tun, gibt es nicht. Vielleicht ist es das Erfahren und Hinausschieben der eigenen Grenzen, das den Menschen einen süchtig machenden Kitzel verschafft. Vielleicht ist es auch der Genuß des Ruhms, der Größte, Schnellste, Beste oder Weitgereistete zu sein.

Extractions: Number Theory Topic On Sunday 24 th August 1997 I found the 36 th Mersenne Prime at the time it was the world's largest known prime number. It took my Pentium 100 PC fifteen days to prove the number prime. David Slowinski has verified the result on a Cray T90 Supercomputer. This new number is digits in length. George Woltman's announcement Chris Caldwell's announcement Read about it in Science News Article in the London Times ... CNN Article Please note though that I was just the lucky one of over 4500 volunteers all searching for these gigantic numbers, why not join us...... Stands for the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, and is a world wide project involving over 4500 participants (@ September 1998), coordinated by George Woltman who maintains the GIMPS site and Scott Kurowski who runs the Primenet Internet Server . Every member of the group runs some Free Software Please note that this size of task would have previously only been possible on large Supercomputers such as the Cray that was used to verify this result, but by running the software on thousands of individual machines we can collectively surpass the power of even the most powerful supercomputer.

Extractions: Wispy clouds move across the forest of evergreens and tall conifers in Qiqi, China. Academy Expedition in China 2000 A s part of a global, collaborative effort to preserve biodiversity in China, the California Academy of Sciences launched the China Natural History Project (CNHP) in May 1998. The pilot project of CNHP involved a biodiversity survey of the Gaoligong Shan region of northwestern Yunnan Province. Many new species of plants and spiders were discovered during the expedition and future scientific discoveries were promising. In June 2000, Academy botanists, entomologists, ichthyologists, and a herpetologist and mammalogist returned to join their colleagues from Yunnan to undertake further biodiversity survey work. The international team is treading new ground in the relatively unstudied mid-elevation Dulongjiang forests of northwest Yunnan, the borderland next to Myanmar (formerly Burma). Results of the field work will be of major interest to policy-makers, conservationists, students and scholars. Because of its concentrations of ancient and recent endemic species, it is theorized that the region of study is an isolated paleoenvironment that has remained remarkably stable through the climatological changes brought about by the Miocene collision of the Indian tectonic plate with East Asia. It is likely that dramatic mountain building caused periodic isolation of the Dulong Valley region and the creation of new niches for distinct species.

Eels, anglerfish, surfperch, and pufferfish that once swam the oceans cold waters stare blankly out from glass canning jars of cool alcohol. Plastic buckets, ceramic crocks, and stainless steel chests seal catfish, bat rays, and carp in perpetual darkness. There are also unknown soldiers, piscine prisoners that have yet to be identified and properly placed amongst the more than 250,000 other tombs holding some three million individuals. This is the Academys scientific fish collection. Representatives of about half of all described fishes can be found here, providing a storehouse of important ichthyological information on 12,000 or so species.
