The diagram illustrates the structure of the team that is currently working on one of our active projects. Please spend a few moments looking at it, after which I will explain what…
Is there anyone on the face of the planet who is not interested in saving every cent at a time like this? I guess there are, but their name can’t be legion… In these hard times, everyone is looking for untapped ways of saving on cost. If you are connected with engineering or architecture, are…

In our 30-minute segment, he describes how he solved a perplexing problem for NASA: astronauts fainting soon after they returned from space and tried to…
