People with special skills and knowledge leverage that skill set and knowledge base to put forth notions about the meaning of DFE in the context of legal matters. While the court system greatly appreciates science and its role through expert testimony in providing probative information, that appreciation is substantially challenged by the lack of a scientific base, in the form of adequate peer reviewed publications associated with professional societies,

Many scientists would like to be able to view and analyze quick look astronomical data on hand held devices linked by wireless network to the Internet. Scientific data is often characterized by high dynamic range together with abrupt, localized or extended changes of spatial and temporal statistical properties. I compare the effectiveness of algorithms for the efficient approximation of scientific data that support low bit-rate, near real-time and low-delay communication of heterogeneous multidimensional scientific data over existing or planned wireless network
