Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Burkove rekordy nad Atlantikom by Silvia Szarkova

Za dva dni je po tom- sezona Atlantických hurikanoc koncí v nedelu. Mnoho ludi sa tesi kvoli tejto udalosti- a to rovno obe kategirie meteorologov aj obycajny ludia, ktory ziju v hurikanom najviac ohrozovanych oblastiach. Ale kym uplne zabudneme na tie dni neprijemneho cakania kym skonci kazda jedna burka, dovolte mi, aby som zosumarizovala najdolezitejsie rekordy sezony 2008 v porovnani s predchádzajucimi rokmi- a ze ich bolo mnoho, o tom by vedeli ludia rozpravat hororove poviedky, kym meteorologovia sa iba cudovali.

Pocas roka bolo aspon pat rekordov v trvani burok a navyse jeden zaujimavy fakt- opakovane boli zasahovane tie iste oblkasti, ale najvacsimi luzermi tejto hry s√∫ Spojene staty a Kuba. Takze pozrime sa na par faktov.

Aj ked cisla zosnulych a skod su vlastne este stale pod kalkulaciami odbornikov, poistovacie spolocnosti vykazuju stratu 10.6 milliardy dolarov- neuveritelnych 8.1 miliardy z toho su skody po hurikane Ike, ktory obsadil siedme miesto v najdrahsich katastrofach v historii USA.

Dolly, Eduard, Fay, Gusrtav, Hanna a Ike- nautocili na pevninu USA, co je nieco co sa v minulosti este nestalo. Hlavne hurikany- co znamena ze ich rychlost vola vacsia ako 111mph- sa formovali pocas piatich sezonnych mesiacov- od jula do Novembra. Bertha bola navyse najdlhsia burka v juli- trvala az 17 dni.

Florida bola udreta Fay az styri krat a zanechala po sebe vzdy tazke zaplavy. Tri dalsie hurikany sa prehnali Kubov- Gustav, Ike a Paloma.

Priemerny rok ma 11 pomenovanych burok, polka z nich sa stane hurikanom. Tento rok ich bolo vsak uz 8 z coho pat sa stalo hurikanom. Tri z nich a to menovite Gustav, Ike a Paloma- dosiahli extremnu kategoriu 4.

"Bolo to pekne obdobie bohate na taketo burky" povedala Judith Curry, profesorka z Tech atmospheric sciences v Georgii. "Nemali sme obrovsku obludu v ktorej by o zivot prislo mnoho ludi, ale mali sme mnoho mnoho skod."

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Dva specijalni nastani by Claudia Sonea

Tradiciite me fasciniraat poveke od sé. Neverojatno e da vidite kako minatoto i idninata se obedinuvaat vo segašnosta. Može da vidite običaj koj ima svoe poteklo vo minatoto, ke prodolži da postoi vo idninata isto taka, no segašnosta go proslavuva. Ništo ne e poprivlečno otkolku da se vidi kako francuzite go proslavuvaat Denot na Bastiljata ili britanskiot Den na Sekavanjeto. Vsušnost ovaa sreda, amerikancite se sobraa da go proslavat Denot na blagodarnosta (koj go proslavuvaat i kanaganite).
Poveketo veke znaete deka Denot na Blagodarnosta e festival na žneenjeto so cel da se zablagodarime za žetvata, no sega vklučuva izrazuvanje blagodarnost voopšto za site dobri raboti koi se slučuvaat vo životot. Mislam deka treba da go vovedeme ovoj praznik zatoa što ima mnogu luge koi treba da zemat pauza od svoite sekojdnevni životi i da pomislat na site dobri raboti koi im se slučile. Spored mitot prviot Den na blagodarnost bil oddržan od adziite i indijancite koi se složile za nekoi raboti.
Ovaa godina,ovoj praznik beše označen so ušte eden specijalen i unikaten nastan: Venera, Jupiter i četvrt mesečinata se pribilžija mnogu blisku megu sebe. Ova dviženje na duvezdite na večerta na Denot na blagodarnosta, no samo vo nedelata ili možebi vo ponedelnikot tie ke se obedinat. Ako nokta e jasna ke može da se vidat na neboto i nema da imate potreba od nekoj poseben aparat. Slična panorama ke bide vidliva vo 2052 godina. Uživajte!

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Trening za zemjotres by Claudia Sonea

I pokraj toa što ekonomijata pominuva niz seriozni krizi, amerikancite silno se držat i prodolžuvaat so nivniot sekojdneven život. Posle sé, go imaat ova pominato vo minatoto i go imaat preživeano. Sega, ekonomijata može sekogaš da se reši i da se raboti so nea, no prirodata ne čeka nikogo, ova treba da bide pod postojano nabljuduvanje. Zemjotresite se važna rabota i pokraj toa što tie ne se taka organizirani kako vo Japonija (godišen trening za zemjotres vo sekavanje na golemiot zemjotres od 1923 godina Golemiot Kanto), amerikanskite žiteli se na praviot pat.
Vo četvrtokot vo Južna Kalifornija, vo oblasta San Andreas, trening za zemjotres beše oddržan vklučuvajki golem broj na luge i beše narečen "Golemiot". Hipotetička magnituda od 7.8 potres beše predizvikana vo južniot del od San Andreas sozdavajki dviženje so brzina od 200 milji. Tresenjeto ke trae tri minuti, smrtnosta ke bide 1800 i procenata na štetata ke bide okolu 200 bilioni dolari. Vo početokot lugeto koi živeat vo Kaliforniskata oblast (najaktivnata seizmička oblast vo državata), no silata vo juli beše so tresok od 5.4 stepeni i gi natera da se priklučat vo naporite (okolu 400 novi luge). Isto taka prognozite od strana na USGS za zemjotres vo narednite 30 godinin koj ke ima epicentar vo Južna Kalifornija gi zagrižija lugeto.
Guvernerot Arnold Švarceneger beše isto taka prisuten na treningot i tankiraše 5 milioni luge koi se priklučija na silite na lokalnata vlada, učilištata, crkvite, bolnicite, timovite za baranje i spasuvanje i drugite vlasti za da uspeat. Toj isto taka ja iskaža svojata blagodarnost kon vladata ponuduvajki gi potrebnite fondovi i site agencii koi se vklučija. I pokraj smeata koja ja predizvikaa, lugeto se poveke svesni i očigledno podobro podgotveni vo slučaj na takva katastrofa. Bravo za niv!

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Ice on Mars? by kristina leskova

Mars is the fourth planet far away from the Sun. This planet is known as red planet. It was named after a Roman war-god, probably due to his red color. Mars is the second smallest planet, the smallest is Mercury. It has two small moons of irregular shape. We can find craters, volcanoes and canyons on its cold and dry surface. There are also white polar caps. There are not conditions for the existence of water as liquid. Nowadays the researchers confirmed that Mars has great glaciers hidden under rocky debris. Founded glaciers mean large reservoirs of water on the planet. The amount of ice was surprising; it seems to be a lot of ice hidden under the surface. But how the ice got to the planet is still a mystery for the researchers. The danger is that the ice on the surface of Mars would immediately sublimate – it means change to gas. The rocky debris covers the ice and that is the reason why the ice could survive below the surface for millions of years. The ice could be the source of water for future expeditions – they could just take the ice and melt him; they would not have to carry the water with them. In the past it was documented that water existed on Mars, but nobody knows where it disappeared. The water on Mars is a hot topic because the existence of water could mean presence of life on the planet. The researches are very expensive, but for the scientists very important. We should now if there is any life except of our Earth.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Pygmy tarsier rediscovered in Indonesia by Zuzana Zelenakova

Large eyes, head-body length of 95 to 105 mm, fur and tail. That is the general description of so called pygmy tarsier. It may sound like we are talking about some cute animated movie creature, but this nocturnal primate is real enough. Pygmy tarsiers were long thought extinct because they were not seen in more than 70 years. However, in 2000, Indonesian scientists accidentally killed one of them while trapping rats. First pygmy tarsiers were seen alive in August 2008 by an expedition from Texas A&M University in Lore Lindu national Park. The expedition led by a researcher Sharon Gursky-Doyen trapped two males and a female and were radio collared to track their movements. "I have the dubious honor of being the only person in the world to have been bitten by [a pygmy tarsier]," Gursky-Doyen told LiveScience. "My field assistant was holding the tarsier and I was attaching a radio collar around its neck and while I was attaching the radio collar he bit me [on the finger]." It seems the leading researcher forgot that these creatures are able to turn their heads 180 degrees. The aim of the tracking device is to learn more about the animals' behavior and everyday habits. Gursky-Doyen and her co-workers set about 276 mist nets on the slopes of Mount Rore Katimbo to capture the three pygmy tarsiers. Pygmy tarsiers live in pairs remaining together for up to 15 months having two breeding seasons. They spend most of the day sleeping in hollowed-out trees. Compared to the other tarsiers the pygmy tarsiers don't seem to mark their territory with musky scent or to call to each other. "How are pygmy tarsiers communicating with one another if they're not doing it through vocalizations or scent marking?" Gursky-Doyen asked. There are yet many questions to be answered about these creatures.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Planetata na vonzemjanite? by Barbora Misakova

Pred stotina godini toa beše ednostavno nezamislivo, nitu pak da zboruvame deka našata Zemja ne e ramna kako ploča, no nejzinata forma potseka na golema topka. I idejata ne e deka sonceto se vrti okolu Zemjata, tuku obratno, našata Zemja orbitira okolu Sonceto se smetaše za bogohulenje. Kolku sme bile smešni, i možebi sé ušte sme. I pokraj toa što znaeme mnogu malku za Zemjata ovie denovi, za procesite vo prirodata koi sé ušte vlijaat na konečnata pojava, za drugite kozmički objekti kako sonceto, mesečinata i drugite planeti, sé ušte ne možeme da znaeme sé. Vselenata e magična i misteriozna. Poveketo od vremeto, nie go fokusirame našeto vnimanie na Zemjata i drugite planeti, planeti bliski do nas i koi kružat okolu Sonceto isto kako i našata planeta. No naučnicite se poveke i poveke se fascinirani od životot nadvor od našata planeta i poradi toj interes kon takanarečenite ekspoplaneti i planeti nadvor od našiot sončev sistem. Ovoj pat naučnicite dojdoa so neverojatno otkritie na 4 ekspoplaneti koi orbitiraat okolu dzvezdite namesto okolu Sonceto.
Ovie planeti isto taka se narečeni planeti na vonzemjanite, no može da rečam deka vakvata ocena ne e dobro odbrana. Ovoj natpis provocira razni čuvstva kaj lugeto i ljubitelite na naučnata fantastika se verojatno vozbudeni, no drugite luge (se speak pomalku isplašeni od zakanata od vonzemjani) verojatno ne se čuvstvuvaat tolku udobno okolu ova ime. Avtomatski evocira ideja, deka tie planeti se naseleni so vonzemjani. Vo realnosta niedna od ovie gasni planeti e možno da se naseli. No naučnicite sekogaš se tolku optimistični i mislat deka posle kratko vreme tie ke "stignat do sina točka koja ke nalkuva na zemjena točka." No jas nema da se plašam vo nikoj slučaj! Naučnicite vo poslednite 13 godini otkrija poveke od 300 planeti slični na ovaa, i dosega nikakvi vonzemjani ne došle da ne posetat. No zošto ova otkritie e tolku specijalno? Zatoa što za prv pat imame slika od ovie planeti. Vselenskite naučnici na NASA glavniot pretsedatel Ed Vejler veli deka Hubble teleskopot ja ispolnil poslednata od glavnite golemi zadači koi se očekuvaa od nego: "Ova e son koj se ostvaruva posle 18 i pol godini." Dodeka NASA očekuva da go proslavi svojot uspeh, Alan Bos, ekspert za ekspoplaneti vo Institucijata Karnegi vo Vašington, i lovecot na ekspoplaneti Lisa Kalteneger na Harvard misli deka treba da se proučuvaat ovie planeti poveke za da se potvrdat kako planeti a ne samo kako kafeni dzudzesti dzvezdi. Kako što jas ne sum ekspert za ekspoplaneti, nitu vrabotena vo NASA, bi sakala da im ja prepuštam ovaa debata na profesionalcite. No jas sum veke ljubopitna što novo tie ke otkrijat!

It was extra- ordinary well preserved and looks very impressive; in addition it helps to draw a picture of life of higher society in past, said experts of excavated earring in Jerusalem. According to the report released on Monday, it looks very good to it´s age, because this earring is dated to be 2,000-year-old. It is made whole from gold- large pearl is laid to the gold having two drop pieces, both with an emerald and pearl surrounded by gold.

It´s discovery came up with large real Eureka: "Suddenly one of the excavators came up shouting 'Eureka!'" said Doron Ben-Ami, who directed the dig in Jerusalem. The master piece was found under the parking lot, just few steps away of Jerusalem´s Old City, uncovered in Byzantine structure, which was built many years after the creating of the earring and according to Ben-Ami, it dates to the Roman period, just to the time of Jesus.

It is more likely to be passed down throught generations, Ben- Ami even says it was not created for ordinary people: "It must have belonged to someone of the elite in Jerusalem. Such a precious item, it couldn't be one of just ordinary people."

Archaeologist Simon Gibson, who was not involved in any of these excavation, says it is amazing firstly for its precious nature, just secondly because of its Roman origin. In archaeological context of the history of Jerusalem, jewelry is hardly preserved, he adds to its theory, in which the nature and characteristic should take precedens of its origin.

The Israel Antiquities Authority says the technique used in this earring is similar to that one used in portraits from Roman- era Egypt.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Biblijata - fakt ili legenda? by Barbora Misakova

Istorijata e tolku nejasna. Tolku mnogu detali (vo mnogu slučai mnogu važni) se krijat vo senkite i nie možeme samo da polemizirame. Duri i ako ste arheolog nikogaš ne možete da bidete sigurni deka ste našle dokaz, ponekogaš e poveke od nevozmožno da se kaže kako točno se slučuvaat rabotite. Verojatno edinstveniot izvor koj kažuva za rabotite kako što se slučile e Biblijata. Verojatno poveketo od nas se smeatsega. Najgolemata kniga pomegu site knigi - sigurno, no od druga strana za nevernicite toa e samo kniga so bajki. Lugeto se nedoverlivi suštestva, tie sekogaš baraat dokazi. No duri i ako gi najdat, tie imaat vistinski problemi da veruvaat vo niv.

Moderniot izraelski grad Beit Šemiš leži vo judejskite ridovi, na stranata koja gleda nad Elah dolinata. Vo edna od iskopanite kuki beše otkriena staklena ploča so pet linii od izbledneti karakteri. Josi Garfinkel, izraelski arheolog glaven za iskopuvanje misli deka ovoj relikt e postar i od samata Biblija! Kako što beše otkrieno podocna karakterite napišani na pločata se poznati kako proto-Kananajt - prethodnik na hebrejskata azbuka. Ova go navede Garfinkel da veruva deka tekstot e hebrejski. Drugi naučnici ne bea tolku sigurni, zatoa što izraelcite ne se edinstvenite koi gi koristele proto-Kananajtite kako bukvi. Garfinkel vrz osnova na negovata identifikacija na trikarakterniot glagol koj postoel samo vo hebrejskiot od druga strana veruva deka toa e dokažuva deka ovoj pronajdok e "najstariot hebrejski natpis koj e voopšto pronajden." Ako ova e vistina, togaš točnosta na Biblijata može da bide zenemarena. Kako i da e mnogu naskoro ke se donesat zaklučoci. Arheolozite ke prodolžat so nivnite iskopuvanja i filolozi koi ke se obidat da go prevedat ovoj natpis što može da trae so meseci. Do togaš ke mora da počekame.

Chris Cantell behadelt Die Wissenschaft: Es wird wackelig by Clara Hrabovec

Die Natur scheint trotz vieler Katastrophen noch immer strafend gesinnt zu sein. Erdbeben gehören zu jenen Unglücken, die einem Gänsehaut verursachen. Wissenschaftler versuchen sie in den Vordergrund zu schieben, um nicht nur materiellen Schäden sondern auch Todesopfern vorzubeugen. Reno ist eine Stadt in Nevada (der nach Alaska und Kalifornien drittaktivste seismische Staat) die kürzlich von Hunderten kleiner Erdbeben heimgesucht wurde. Das Seismologische Labor an der Universität von Nevada versucht schon seit 28. Februar einen Grund für die rund 500 Minibeben zu finden. Obgleich Gouverneur Jim Gibbons über den Krisenzustand informiert ist, kann man nicht festsetzen ob und wann weitere eintreten werden. Obwohl es unter den kleineren auch ein Großbeben gab, sind außer emotionalen keine Schäden entstanden. Lasst uns also für die Menschen in Reno beten, sodass sie keine Beben der Größe 6 oder 7 der Richterskala erleben müssen. 1914 geschah so ein Unheil zum letzten Mal. Diane dePolo, eine Mitarbeiterin des Seismologischen Labors an der Universität von Nevada gibt zu, keine genauen Fakten in den Händen zu haben.

Computer program to help astronauts with depression by Zuzana Zelenakova

The work of an astronaut is one of the most stressful. Isolated space you share with few colleagues for several month even years can really start to get on your nerves and make you feel depressed. And that is why NASA is seriously trying to fight this problem. It plans the long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars for astronauts it means a lot of psychological pressure, interpersonal conflicts and subsequently also depression. "If things go down the wrong pathway, you're depending on each other for your survival. So you want to make sure you're working together well and trust each other implicitly," said Dr. Jay Buckey, a former astronaut on the Space Shuttle Columbia who's collaborating on the program. Such a research can help to understand how isolation affects human mental health in general, not only in space environment but also here on Earth. Group of scientists is working on a series of interactive computer programs that are together called “Virtual Space Station”. Onboard the astronaut can access the program, which is basically a recording of Dartmouth psychologist Dr. Mark Hegel, through his own personal laptop. Such a virtual therapist at first helps you indicate the source of the depression, after you type in the symptoms, and then will guide you to make a plan to relieve your problem. "Before being used by astronauts, this system needs to be further developed and tested for efficacy in an analog population. The countermeasure we are developing is intended for use both in pre-flight training and on the International Space Station. The program has substantial Earth benefits,” says the project webpage. So the project could very well help also the patients on Earth, who refuse to visit a therapist because of various reasons, whether it is pride or the cost of treatment. And it will be these ordinary citizens that will take part in the initial tests in Boston, not astronauts.

India launces first moon mission by Magdalena Rosova

India launched its first unmanned mission to the moon. A satellite´s mission is to redraw maps of the lunar surface.

The satellite called Chandrayaan-1, which means “Moon Craft,” was rocketed from the Sriharikota space center in in southern India.

The main mission goal is to map the surface of the moon and to find out what lies beneath. India is intending to create a high-resolution map of the moon surface.

Until now only the U.S., Russia, the European Space Agency, Japan and China have ever rocketed missions to the moon.

India´s economy boom has allowed the country to build the nation´s hig-tech sector. Only few months ago a deal with the United States, that recognizes India as a nuclear power, was finalized. India hopes the moon mission will enhance its status.

Althougt the technology needed to reach the moon has not changed since the Soviet Union and the United States did it more than forty years ago, new mapping equipment allows the exploration of new areas.

Asian nations have taken the leading position in moon exploration recently. Japan sent up the Kaguya spacecraft in October 2007 and only a month later China sent up Change´e-1. In 2003 China became the first Asian country which put its astronauts into space.

However, Indian mission is not only about rivalry and prestige. The mission is deserved reward for the technology India developed.

The mission costs $80 million and will test systems for a future moon landing. India is dreaming of a manned space program, even though it has not been authorized yet.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: India vyslala prv√∫ misiu na mesiac by Magdalena Rosova

India vypustila na mesiac svoju prvú misiu bez ľudskej posádky. Misiou satelitu je prekresliť mapy povrchu mesiaca.

Satelit nesie meno Chandrayaan-1, čo v preklade znamená „Mesačná loď.“ Satelit bol vypustený na mesiac z vesmírneho centra Sriharikota v južnej Indii.

Hlavným cieľom misie je zmapovať povrch mesiaca a zistiť, čo je pod jeho povrchom. India má v úmysle vytvoriť mapy s vysokým rozlíšením.

Do dnešného dňa vypustili misie na mesiac iba krajiny USA, Rusko, Európska vermírna agentúra, Japonsko a Čína.

India však v poslednom období zaznamenala ekonomický boom, ktorý umožnil krajine investovať a vybudovať národný high-tech sektor. Iba pred niekoľkými mesiacmi uzavrela India s USA dohodu, v ktorej USA uznáva Indiu ako nukleárnu mocnosť. India preto dúfa, že lunárna misia posilní jej status.

Hoci sa technológia potrebná na dosiahnutie mesiaca nezmenila od vtedy, čo pred štyridsiatimi rokmi pristála na mesiaci loď Sovietskeho zväzu a USA, novo vyvinuté zariadenia umožňujú podrobnejšie preskúmanie oblastí.

Ázijské krajiny postupne prebrali vedúce postavenie v dobývania mesiaca. Japonsko vyslalo na mesiac svoju vesmírnu loď Kaguya v októbri 2007 a iba mesiac neskôr vyletela čínska loď Chang´e-1. V roku 2003 sa Čína stala prvou ázijskou krajinou, ktorá vyslala svojho astronauta do vesmíru.

Akokoľvek, indická vesmírna misia nie je iba o rivalite a boji o prestíž. Misia je zaslúženou odmenou za dlhoročnú prácu na vývoji novej technológie.

Indická misia stojí 80 miliónov amerických dolárov a je zároveň skúšobným testom pre pristátie na mesiaci v budúcnosti. India už totiž sníva ďalej, novým cieľom by malo byť pristátie človeka na mesiaci, hoci oficiálne program ešte nebol schválený.

Ima novo istražuvanje za tretmanite za pacientite so udar ili povreda na ´rbetot. Naučnicite otkrija deka majmunite koi naučile da igraat kompjuterski igri se sposobni da gi nadminat paralizite so specijalen aparat.

Majmunite naučile da kontroliraat edna edinstvena mozočna kletka koja im pomaga da gi vratat vo upotreba paraliziranite muskuli.

Don Tejlor od Case Western Reserve University vo Klivlend, koj ja proučuva upotrebata na mozočnite signali da ja nadminat paralizata i ne beše vklučen vo novata rabota, izjavi deka rezultatot od otkritieto e "važen čekor napred."

Aparatot ja nabljuduval aktivnosta na mozočnite kletki i dobil informacija koja se koristi da se stimuliraat muskulite elektronski. Aparatot može da koristi mozočni kletki koi normalno ne gi kontroliraat zglobnite muskuli.

Istražuvanjeto može da im pomogne na lugeto so paraliza vo zglobovite da držat čaša so kafe ili da si gi isčistat zabite i mnogu drugi sekojdnevni raboti. Kako i da e, ke trebaat godini pa duri i dekadi dodeka ova ne počne da se primenuva.

Aparatite za funkcionalna električna stimulacija (FES) im pomagaat na delumno paraliziranite da stanat, odat, da gi koristat racete i dlankite i mnogu drugi raboti. Ovie denovi tie koristat prekinuvač da gi kotroliraat ovie aparati.

Koristenjeto na mozočnite signali može značitelno da im pomogne na paraliziranite luge od vratot nadolu so samo nekolku muskuli koi tie može da gi kontroliraat.

Vo eksperimentot so majmunite istražuvačite privremeno gi paralizirale zglobovite na majmunot. Dlankata na majmunite bila postvena na ramna površina. Tie naučile da upravuvaat so kurserot na kompjuterot so pritiskanje na svojot zglob gore i dole. Naučnicite gi nabljuduvale električnite signali koi gi ispuštala mozočnata kletka. Majmunite naučile da gi koristat svoite mozočni kletki za da gi kontroliraat svoite paralizirani muskuli i bile sposobni da igraat kompjuterska igra.

Kako i da e, lugeto treba da nadgleduvaat mnogu mozočni kletki naednaš za poveke kompleksno dviženja. "Imame ušte mnogu rabota," izjavi koavtorot na studijata Čet Moric.

H.L. Hunley mystery in a new light by Zuzana Zelenakova

At first, a bit of a history insight into the matter we are going to talk about is needed. H.L.Hunley was a submarine of Confederate States of America and it was the first submarine to sink an enemy warship. But after the successful attack in 1864 during the Civil War which took place in Charleston harbor it disappeared, apparently sank, together with its 8 crewmen. The wreck was recovered in 2000. It has always been a mystery why the submarine failed to return safely. At the Warren Lasch Conservation Center the team of international scientists has been working under the Naval Historical Center at conserving the sub and trying to solve the mystery of its disappearance. And it seems recently they have come across an important discovery. They reported the vessel´s crew had not set the pump to remove water from the crew compartment, which might mean it was not flooded. "It now really starts to point to a lack of oxygen making [the crew] unconscious," the chairman of the South Carolina Hunley Commission said. "They may have been cranking and moving and it was a miscalculation as to how much oxygen they had." But even the latest conclusions are not clear enough. "Can we definitely say they weren't pumping like mad to get water out of the tanks? No we cannot," said archeologist Maria Jacobsen. "I'm not really at a point where I think we should really be talking about what these guys were doing at the very end because we simply don't know all the valve settings." Only one thing is for sure – that the valve that could remove the water from the crew compartment was closed. The eight Hunley crewmen still remain the only ones to know the truth. Now they rest in Charleston´s Magnolia Cemetery where they were interred in 2004 with full military honors.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Comment Brachiosaurs est devenu si énorme by Magdalena Rosova

Les chercheurs ont découvert pourquoi le Brachiosaurus et d'autres dinosaurs long-étranglés végétariens étaient si grands. Le poids de ces bêtes était comparable à 10 éléphants africains. Les chercheurs pensent que leur taille et poids ont été provoqués par l'avalement des nourritures de grande énergie tout en entier.

Sauropods, qui ont vécu il y a environ 210 millions d'années et ont régné l'écosystème de la Terre pendant plus de 100 millions d'années, ont eu le corps d'environ 40 mètres de long et leur taille était environ 17 mètres. Sauropods étaient les plus grands mammifères jamais existants.

P. Martin Sander, un paléontologiste à l'Université de Bonn en Allemagne, et Marcus Clauss de l'Université de Zurich ont affirmé que les Sauropods n'ont pas écouté leurs mères et probablement n'ont pas mâché leur nourriture correctement. Sauropods stockent à la place beaucoup de nourriture dans leur estomac géant. Les fougères et d'autres plantes dans leurs ventres étaient une bombe d'énergie supportant la croissance.

En raison de ce qu'ils n'ont pas mâché la nourriture ; ils n'ont pas eu besoin de grandes mâchoires. Une plus petite mâchoire signifie une plus petite tête, qui est une chose nécessaire pour avoir un long cou. Leurs longs cous leur ont également permis d'atteindre les feuilles nutritives vers le haut des arbres, ce qui était impossible pour les dinosaurs carnivores de court cou.

Cependant, la taille énorme signifie également beaucoup de problèmes. Par exemple, se débarasser de la chaleur excessive de corps ou la respiration avec un si long cou, a pu être un grand ennui pour des Sauropods. Mais tous ces problèmes ont été résolus par le système respiratoire des oiseaux. Ils n'ont pas eu des poumons mais les sacs aériens qui renvoyaient l'air pompé à travers des poumons rigides. D'autres cavités ont aidé à la chaleur non désirée d'exclure du corps.

La recherche sera détaillée dans le numéro 10 d'Octobre du journal Science

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: El misterio de H.L. Hunley en una nueva luz by Zuzana Zelenakova

Al principio, un poco de historia en el asunto del que vamos a hablar. H.L.Hunley era un submarino de los Estados Confederados de América y era el primer submarino que hundió un buque enemigo. Pero después del ataque en 1864 durante la Guerra civil que ocurrió en el puerto de Charleston desapareció, aparentemente se hundió, junto con sus 8 tripulantes. La ruina fue recuperada en 2000. Siempre era un misterio por qué el submarino no volvió seguramente. En Warren Lasch Conservation Center el equipo de científicos internacionales ha estado trabajando bajo el Centro Naval Histórico en la conservación del submarino y trataban de solucionar el misterio de su desaparición. Y parece que han encontrado descubrimiento importante. Divulgaron que el equipo no había puesto la bomba para quitar el agua del compartimento de equipo, que podría significar que no fue inundado. " Ahora realmente comienza a indicar una carencia del oxígeno que causó la inconsciencia del equipo" dijo el presidente de South Carolina Hunley Commission. " Ellos podían hacer maniobras y movimientos y era un cálculo equivocado de la cantidad del oxígeno que tenían." Pero aún las últimas conclusiones no son bastante claras. ¿" Podemos definitivamente decir que bombeaban como loco para conseguir el agua de los tanques? No, no podemos, " dijo la arqueóloga Maria Jacobsen. "Realmente no estoy en un punto donde deberíamos hablar de lo que el equipo hacía al final porque simplemente no sabemos todos los ajustes. " Sólo una cosa es segura - que la válvula que podría quitar el agua del compartimento de equipo estuvo cerrada. Los ocho tripulantes de Hunley quedan los únicos que conocen la verdad. Ahora descansan en el Cementerio de Magnolia de Charleston donde fueron enterrados en 2004 con honores militares.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Misterijata na H. L. Hanli vo novo svetlo by Zuzana Zelenakova

Za pocetok, malku istorija za da navlezeme vo suštinata za ona što ke zboruvame. H.L. Hanli e podmornica na Konfederativnite amerikanski državi i toa beše prvata podmornica koja potona neprijatelski brod. No posle uspešniot napad vo 1864 godina za vreme na Graganskata vojna koja se sluci vo pristaništeto na Carlston iscezna, verojatno potonala zaedno so 8 cleniot ekipaž. Ostatocite se pronajdeni vo 2000 godina. Otsekogaš bilo misterija zošto podmornicata ne uspea da se vrati bezbedno. Vo Warren Lasch konzervatoriumskiot centar timot od megunarodni naucnici raboteše pod Primorskiot Istoriski Centar na konzerviranje na podmornicata i obiduvajki se da ja rešat misterijata za nejzinoto isceznuvanje. I se cini deka posledno došle do nekoi važni otkritija. Tie izvestija deka ekipažot ne ja namestil pumpata da ja otstrani vodata od delot na ekipažot, što može da znaci deka ne e poplavena. "Sega pocnuva da ukažuva na nedostig od kislorod pravejki go (ekipažot) nesovesen," izjavi pretstavnikot na Komisijata Hanli vo Južna Karolina. "Tie možebi se dvižele i ne presmetale dobro za toa kolku kislorod im treba." No i poslednite zaklučoci ne se dovolno jasni. "Možeme li definitivno da kažeme deka tie ne ja ispumpuvale kalta za da ja izvadat vodata od cisternite? Ne ne možeme," izjavi arheologot Marija Jakobsen. "Sega sum na točka koga mislam deka treba navistina da zboruvam za ona što ovie momci go pravele na samiot kraj zatoa što ednostavno ne gi znaeme site klučni momenti." Samo edna rabota e sigurna - deka otvorot što možel da ja isfrli vodata od kabinata na ekipažot bil zatvoren. Osumčleniot Hanli ekipaž sé ušte ostanuva edinstveniot koj ja znae vistinata. Sega tie počivaat vo grobištata Magnolija vo Čarlston kade bea zakopani vo 2004 godina so kompletni voeni počesti.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Kako Bračiosaurusite stanale tolku golemi by Magdalena Rosova

Istražuvači otkrija zošto bračiosaurusite i drugite vegetarijanci dolgovratesti dinosaurusi bile tolku golemi. Težinata na ovie dzverovi se sporeduva so onaa na 10 afrikanski slonovi. Istražuvačite mislat deka nivnata golemina i težina e predizvikana od goltanje na visoko energetska hrana.

Sauropodite, koi živeele pred okolu 210 milioni godini i vladeele so ekosistemnot na Zemjata poveke od 100 milioni godini imale telo so dolžina od 40 metri i nivnata visočina bila okolu 17 metri. Sauropodite bile najgolemite cicači na site vreminja.

P. Martin Sander, paleontolog na Univerzitetot vo Bon vo Germanija, i Markus Klaus od Univerzitetot vo Cirih velat deka sauropodite verojatno ne gi slušale svoite majki i ne ja dzvakale svojata hrana pravilno. Sauropodite namesto toa ja čuvale hranata vo svoite gigantski stomaci. Papratite i drugite rastenija vo nivnite papoci bile energetska bomba koja go poddržuvala nivnoto rastenje.

Poradi toa što ne ja dzvakale hranata nemale potreba od golemi vilici. Pomalite vilici značat pomala glava, što e predispozicija za dolg vrat. Nivnite dolgi vratovi isto taka im dozvoluvale da stignat do hranlivi lisja visoko na drvata, što bilo nevozmožno za mesojadnite kratkovrati dinosaurusi.

Kako i da e, goleminata isto taka im nosela i mnogu problemi. Na primer, osloboduvanjeto na ogromnata telesna toplina ili dišenjeto so tolku dolg vrat, moželo da znači nevolja za sauropodite. No site ovie problemi se rešeni so sistemot za dišenje kako kaj pticite. Tie nemale beli drobovi tuku vozdušni torbi koi ispumpuvale vozduh preku zdrvenite beli drobovi. Drugi dupki im pomagale da ja oslobodat nesakanata toplina od svoeto telo.

Istražuvanjeto ke bide detalno opišano vo 10toto izdanie od oktomvri vo naučniot žurnal.

Another man in space by kristina leskova

Richard Garriot is an American multimillionaire. He is 47 years old and he fulfilled his dream to reach the space. He was born in Cambridge, England, but he grew up in Texas, where he gained American citizenship. His father is Owen Garriott, 77 years old, became an astronaut and flew with Skylab in 1973. From the childhood Richard was interested in computers and so he became game designer. He gained a nickname Lord British, because he spoke with British accent. How did the flight into the space begin? On September 27, 2007 Space Adventures announced that Richard will fly to the Space Station in October 2008 as the sixth space tourist. He paid for this trip 30 million dollars. Richard Garriott followed the steps of his father. On October 12, he reached the space. The Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft carried him and two other crewmates. One of them is Mike Fincke, an American astronaut who spent six months on the international space station in 2004; another one is Russian Yuri Lonchakov. These two will stay in space station for months and their task is to enlarge the space station so, that it will be available for six persons. Richard will remain in space station only 10 days which he will spend with doing experiments. Of course, he will take some photos of the Earth. He will return on October 24, in a Soyuz capsule with two other members – cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Sergei Volkov. Volkov is the firs second generation traveler.

Chris Cantell Discusses Science: ¿Cómo el braquiosaurios se hizo tan gigante? by Magdalena Rosova

Los investigadores averiguaron por qué el braquiosaurios y otros dinosaurios vegetarianos de cuello largo eran tan grandes. El peso de estos animales era comparable a10 elefantes africanos. Los investigadores han descubierto la respuesta: tragaban sin masticar comida con alto contenido energético.

Saurópodos, que vivían hace unos 210 millones de años y y dominaron los ecosistemas de la Tierra por más de 100 millones de años, tenían el cuerpo de más de 40 metros de largo y su altura de 17 metros. Sauropods eran los animales más grandes que hayan existido.

P. Martin Sander, un paleontólogo de la Universidad de Bonn en Alemania, y Marcus Clauss de la Universidad de Zurich dicen que saurópodos probablemente no escuchaban a sus madres y no masticaban su comida correctamente. Sauropódoss en cambio tenían panzas gigantes en las cuales almacenaban grandes cantidades de comida. Los helechos y otras plantas en sus vientres eran una bomba energética que apoyaba su crecimiento.

Como no masticaban el alimento; no necesitaban grandes mandíbulas. Pequeña mandíbula signinifica pequeña cabeza, lo que también los habilitó a tener cuellos más largos. Sus cuellos largos les permitían alcanzar hojas nutritivas encima de los árboles, que era imposibles para dinosaurios carnívoros de cuellos cortos.

Sin embargo, el enorme tamaño causa también muchos problemas. Por ejemplo, deshacerse del calor de cuerpo o respirar con un cuello tan largo, podría ser un problema grande para saurópodos. Los paleontólogos creen que los dos problemas se podía haber solucionado con un sistema de respiración parecido al de las aves. No tenían pulmones flexibles sino tenían un sistema de sacos de aires que bombeaban aire a través de pulmones rígidos. Otros huecos ayudaron expulsar el calor no deseado del cuerpo.

La investigación más detallada podéis leer en el diario Ciencia el 10 de Octubre.
