(1) Many would see this as somewhat over the top, but given Santer's past experiences, it is at least understandable.
(2) It was the assertion of a "balance of evidence" that Santer added.
(3) Indeed it is striking that people with a limited scientific involvement with CRU who have been victims of past attacks – such as Kevin Trenberth of the US government's National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Ben Santer of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory – became regular email correspondents with Jones and his colleagues.

(9) Santer, for instance, concluded in one email in 2008 that McIntyre "has no interest in rational scientific discourse.
(10) Santer fights freedom of information request In November 2008, Santer believed he was being dragged back into the front line, when he received an freedom of information request from sceptic Stephen McIntyre.
(11) Santer told me the words were added to his chapter late, and without full consultation.
(12) Critics point to a section of an earlier draft of the chapter that was deleted by Santer at this stage.
(13) Santer buttonholed Jones's colleague at CRU, Tim Osborn, a member of the editorial board of the journal.
(14) Hero or villain, his data wars with Mann, Jones, Briffa and Santer largely created the siege mentality among the scientists, set them on a path of opposition to freedom of information, and by drawing in scores of data liberationists inside and outside the science community, almost certainly inspired whoever stole and released the emails.
(15) Santer wrote in an email on 3 December 2008 to Tom Wigley: "I'm damned and publicly vilified because I refused to provide McIntyre with the data he requested.... Had I acceded, I am convinced I would have spent years of my scientific career dealing with demands for further explanations, additional data, Fortran codes [a programming language] etc... For the remainder of my scientific career I'd like to dictate my own research agenda."
(16) This finding is in complete agreement with the previous report that human neuroblastoma cell lines contained an unusually large proportion of metabolically incorporated L-[3H]fucose in this specific linkage (U. V. Santer and M. C. Glick, Cancer Res., 43:4159-4166, 1983).
(17) But such a rule puts the scientists in a difficult position, and Santer had the unenviable job of rewording his chapter to reflect the wording of the political summary.
(18) With the Santer paper published, McIntyre weighed in.
(19) They complained in the American Thinker in December 2009 about a surreptitious strategy involving the authors of the paper and the editors of the journal of "delaying [our paper] and not allowing [us] to have a simultaneous response to Santer et al."
(20) Osborn noted to Santer of their discussion the next day : "The only thing I didn't want to make more generally known was the suggestion that print publication of Douglass et al.
Sinter
Definition:
(n.) Dross, as of iron; the scale which files from iron when hammered; -- applied as a name to various minerals.
Example Sentences:
(1) To isolate single spores from adhesive ascospores and the mycelium, the suspension was sucked through a combination of sintered-glass plates with different pore sizes.
(2) However, within the short sintering times needed to achieve maximum density the rhenanite particles remained mostly intact.
(3) Hydroxyapatite ceramics with zirconia dispersion from fine powders synthesized hydrothermally were post-sintered at 1000-1300 degrees C under 200 MPa of argon for 1 h without capsules, after normal sintering in air at 1200 degrees C for 3 h. Densification was most significant with post-sintering at 1200 degrees C. Fracture toughness, Vickers hardness and elastic properties of these materials were investigated.
(4) The interconnected pore volume decreased with decreasing particle size of the powder, increasing compaction pressure, and increasing sintering temperature.
(5) In this work, we have identified the crystalline phases in eight commercial dental porcelains (four enamels and four dentin bodies) in both powder (unfired) and sintered forms, by x-ray diffraction, emission spectroscopy analysis, reflection optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.
(6) New and deeper understanding of the structure of non-crystalline solids, structural imperfections, sintering physics, and other physical phenomena related to the melting and solidification processes has brought ceramics from the near-total art form process of the mid-century to the status of a highly sophisticated science it enjoyed in the 1980's.
(7) These surface treatments allowed testing of the same basic material which was mill-finished, metallurgically polished, electrochemically oxidized, sintered with a porous surface, and glow-discharged.
(8) Beta-TCP powders with larger particle size, obtained by sintering at higher temperatures, increased the ultimate strength of the cement.
(9) Knoop Hardness and pin-and-disc-wear measurements were made on a commercial silver-sintered glass-ionomer cement.
(10) In this study, the vapor was generated from the surface of a sintered sphere of glass beads filled with propylene oxide.
(11) Densely sintered synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) is used as an implant material because of its excellent tissue biocompatibility.
(12) The materials studied included pure Ag, Au, and Ti and sintered Ag 10% Ti and Ag 10% Ta.

(18) A gravity sintering fabrication technique has been developed for producing Co-Cr-Mo alloy dental implants having a porous coating on the root portion.
(19) Fatigue testing was performed on sintered materials as well as sintered and HIPed materials, both with and without a porous coating.
(20) Sintering and densification additives, such as SiO2 powder, do not appear to be necessary.
