When a month has two full moons the second is known as a "blue" moon, though it only rarely has a blue tint that unusual atmospheric conditions can supply. Occasionally the moon takes on unusual colors, but most often it tends to be reddish, reports Guy Ottewell of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. The occasional blue or bluish-green moon can take place when a lot of dust is present in the air, such as after a volcanic eruption, Ottewell notes in his Astronomical Calendar 1999. 5, record 1, English, - green%20moon

An International Development Research Centre(IRDC) Project. "Drying is a preservation process that prevents the deterioration of perishable crops and allows for handling, transport, and storage of food products for sale outside the community where they are grown. Researchers at Chiang Mai University in northeastern Thailand have adapted drying technologies to help expand the markets for fruits and vegetables. For individual farmers, a cabinet-type tray dryer was designed with a capacity of 100 kg. Warm air is produced by a wood-fired furnace and a natural thermal draft moves the air throughout the unit. This dryer has been tested and accepted by the longan farmers who have tried it, and is suitable in those areas where sufficient fuelwood is available". 1, record 8, English, - Multi%2Dcrop%20Dryers

Des chercheurs de l'Université Chiang Mai dans le nord-est de la Thaïlande ont perfectionné les techniques de séchage afin d'accroître le marché des fruits et légumes. Pour les petits agriculteurs, on a mis au point un séchoir à plateaux en forme d'armoire d'une capacité de 100 kg. Une fournaise à bois y produit de l'air chaud et un courant thermique naturel mobilise l'air dans l'unité. On a testé le séchoir et on l'a utilisé dans les plantations de longanes; les fermiers l'ont dès lors adopté. Le procédé convient là où il y a suffisamment de bois de chauffe.» 1, record 8, French, - Des%20s%C3%A9choirs%20polyvalents

In the Budget 2000, the Government of Canada is providing $60 million to fund the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, which will operate as an independent body. This is the largest single investment in university research in these areas in Canadian history. The Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences will do science research in climate change, extreme weather and air quality. It will provide a better understanding of the implications of climate change and air quality for human health and the natural environment.

Over-the-horizon(OTH) radar systems were first developed during the Cold War as part of the early warning defense network. With the end of the Cold War, research into OTH radar continued, with a new focus : detection of illegal aircraft engaged in drug smuggling. Current research had its genesis in U. S. Air Force and Navy laboratories in the 1960s, as well as at Stanford University. At present, the United States, Russia, China, and Australia employ OTH radar for surveillance purposes. Much of the current effort is concentrated on the development of relocatable OTH radar(ROTHR), first demonstrated by the Navy in the early 1980s. 2, record 12, English, - over%2Dthe%2Dhorizon

As part of international law, the law of outer space is meant to regulate relations between States, to determine their rights and duties resulting from all activities directed towards outer space and within it and to do so in the interest of mankind as a whole, to offer protection to life, terrestrial and non-terrestrial, wherever it may exist. Outer space is to be viewed as an overall notion and celestial bodies as parts of it. 3, record 13, English, - space%20law
