In Tomsk opened a center for the study of Siberia – REGNUM

->

Tomsk, August 31, 2015, 19:05 – REGNUM In the Tomsk State University opened a center “Science in Siberia to Siberia” or Transsiberian Scientific Way (TSSW). Its main task – to activate the research, education, education in the study of Siberia, said IA REGNUM in the management of information policy of the university.

It noted that the university has accumulated a huge unique material on Siberia – the results of years of research and observations, meetings of plants, minerals, archaeological and paleontological findings, dictionaries of local dialects and dialects. This is a great heritage entitles Tomsk State University is considered the oldest site study of Siberia, confident in the TSU.

«On the international council, which was held at the University in April this year, was a discussion of how can and should represent themselves TSU international scientific and educational space, to recognize him – he says Secretary TSU Ludmila Borilo . – And all the experts agreed on one thing – we have to position ourselves through Siberia, across our region. Siberia in the world know, know it unique and special role in the formation of the Earth’s climate, and we have to present to the world our achievements in her studies ».

According to the organizers, the center, on the one hand, should be a unified information resource – battery and a source of information about Siberia in different areas of science, on the other hand – a platform for communication of teachers, scholars, museum professionals, administrators and entrepreneurs for joint research scientists.

At the moment, we identified seven areas Work center: earth science and ecology; history, archeology and ethnography; the economy; the human sciences and health; language and culture; Materials and Technology; urban studies, media and design. For each of them, a working group, led by scientists of the University. The governing body is the Council, chaired by the Rector of Tbilisi State University professor Edward Galazhinsky. It includes the leading Russian and foreign scientists, including three Nobel laureates, representatives of the regional administration, the deputies.

A large focus of the work of the center will be on support for research of historians, linguists, archaeologists, economists and other scientists of importance for the Siberian region.

«I want to say that we do not try to enter into competition with other research organizations involved in the study of Siberia – adds Lyudmila Borilo. – On the contrary, we want to involve them as partners. That is, not in opposition to, and through cooperation, new projects to strengthen its position in the Siberian region ».

Scientists have proved that the food can cause addiction in obese people – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, September 1 – RIA Novosti . An international team of neuroscientists has found further evidence to support the view that eating food “includes” those chains of nerve cells in the brains of people suffering from obesity associated with drug dependence, as scientists have told the next meeting of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.

“Today we are much debate about whether it is possible to call obesity a manifestation of” food addiction “, but unfortunately, very few people trying to carry out serious research aimed at establishing the truth in this matter. The obtained findings speak in favor of the pleasure center obese people respond in a similar way to a meal, the brain of drug addicts – Drug “- said Oren Contreras-Rodriguez (Oren Contreras-Rodrgiuez) from the University of Granada (Spain).

Contreras-Rodriguez and his colleagues They came to this conclusion by comparing the way the brain works have slender people and their peers suffering from obesity. To do this, researchers gathered a group of dozens of volunteers and asked them to take the test in magnetic resonance imaging.

When the participants in the experiment went inside the scanner, neuroscientists showed him a picture of a portion of which was depicted appetizing looking food, and other – neutral and non-food items. Comparing changes in the brain of obese and slim people, scientists hope to understand whether there is a difference in the response to the kind of food they have.

As it turned out, pictures of food causes a reaction in completely different areas of the nervous system – from slim People and “talk” between the centers of memory and conditioned reflexes, while volunteers with obesity intensified pleasure centers and assess the value of food. Something similar, as the scientists explain, occurs in the minds of addicts.

According to Contreras-Rodriguez, by the presence of such bonds and the abnormally high level of activity can be determined, predisposed a person or a child to be overweight, and encourage them to adhere to diet. In the future, the scientist hopes his team will find a way to ease the communication and the activity of these areas of the brain to reduce craving for food in overweight people.

Scientists in Scotland have identified components of ice cream that slows down the process of melting in hot weather.

Protein BsIA found naturally in some foods.

Research teams at the universities of Edinburgh and Dundee also found that the use of this protein allows to develop products with less saturated fat and calories.

The frozen protein prevents the formation of hard ice crystals, making tactile sensations on the product will become softer and more uniform.

According to the scientists, the ice cream increased heat resistance can appear within three to five years.

“We are encouraged by the potential of this new ingredient to improve the ice cream for consumers and producers, “- said the head of the research project, Professor Kate McPhee from the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh.

The new technology is easy to get the protein from the human body-friendly bacteria. He clings to fat droplets and air bubbles and thereby enhances the stability of the mixture.

“Izvestia”: Roskosmos could cut a third of the budget of the space program – BBC

The budget of the Federal Space Program for 2016-2025 years will be significantly reduced with respect to the project, which is considered in the ministries, write «News» citing a senior source at the space agency.

In all likelihood, the budget will be discussed below 2 trillion rubles. And for reducing falls lunar program.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin recently, said , that the exploration of the Moon is too expensive, although the spring in 2014 it was he who announced the strategic goal of creating a lunar base.

According to a source in the Russian Space Agency, is the third stage of the budget cuts of the PCF, some projects receive 10% less, some are deleted entirely.

«Program in general, reduce by one-third since purchasing the ability of the remaining funds declined due to changes in exchange rates. For example, manufacturers of satellite equipment in 70% of the average purchase abroad. Space Programme for the year dried out three times already, it is possible to say with confidence, “- said the source.

According to him, no one knows how in these conditions can be carried out super-expensive project of a manned flight to the moon.

It is noted that in Roskosmos not the first time “stretch” projects on time. Considered as an example rocket complex “Angara”, which is planned for launch in 2005, but the start occurred nine years later.

Supermoon struck people in the world – photos and videos from around the world hit the net – RSUTE

Today, citizens of Russia can watch the first of the three so-called “Supermoon” this year. Supermoon is an astronomical event that occurs when the full moon or new moon coincides with perigee – the moment of closest approach of the Moon and the Earth. At this point, with the Earth can be observed in larger size of the lunar disk than usual. The name was coined Supermoon astrologer Richard Nolle (Richard Nolle) over 30 years ago.

Because of this natural satellite of the Earth seems to be 14% larger and 30% brighter than ever. “Do not expect the moon in the sky will really huge size. The visible disk of the satellite of our planet visually increase, “- said an employee of the Moscow planetarium Jaroslav Turilov.

According to the calculations of astronomers, on average, the phenomenon can be observed on the Earth about once every 144 days. But not all the same Supermoon, for example, last year the drive was a great companion and pronounced. This year supelunie not so bright, but still beautiful.

To see a beautiful astronomical phenomena can, in particular, in Moscow. In the capital, is now partly sunny. The tears of clouds can be seen a huge bright disk of the moon. According to Roshydromet, places people in the region enjoy Supermoon may prevent Showers.

Residents of St. Petersburg see Supermoon it will be difficult because of the cloudy weather, said earlier “Russian news service” Planetarium lecturer of St. Petersburg Sergei Kolevatov.

Supermoon does not have much impact on the Earth, but is more powerful tides. Scientists refute each time the popular speculation that the bright moon a negative impact on people and nature, and offer a moment to admire the unusual.
Residents of regions that clouds and rain do not interfere with enjoying astronomical phenomenon, happy pictures of the moon and the super- spread pictures in social networks. Some prepared for the event in advance and took favorable for shooting locations, left the city.

The next time Supermoon can be observed on September 28 this year. It coincides with a full lunar eclipse.

Supermoon – is astronomical a phenomenon that occurs when the full moon or new moon coincides with perigee – the moment of closest approach of the Moon and the Earth. This is due to the elliptical orbit at which the moon orbits the planet. Because of this phenomenon can be seen from Earth, the larger the size of the lunar disk than usual. Full moon – is where the ecliptic longitude difference between the Sun and the Moon is 180 °. This means that plane drawn through the Sun, Earth and Moon, perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. If all three sites are on the same line, there is a lunar eclipse. Moon in the full moon looks the correct luminous disk.

Baikonur are preparatory work for the launch of the “Union” September 2 – Kommersant

at the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch campaign gaining momentum, whose result will be the launch to the ISS manned transport spacecraft “TMA-18M”, reports “Interfax”. Testers cosmodrome started the autonomous vehicle systems checks, the agency said the source at the cosmodrome. It is planned that next week the ship will pass comprehensive tests, after which he was placed in a vacuum chamber for inspection for leaks.

“Soyuz TMA-18M” entered the Baikonur from Rocket and Space Corporation “Energia” is still on May 2 and May-June with it was held the first test cycle, after which the ship was transferred to a conservation regime. Start a space rocket “Soyuz-FG” with transport manned spacecraft “TMA-18M» is scheduled to perform at the first site Baikonur cosmodrome at 07:34 Moscow time on September 2.

Rocket booster “Soyuz-2.1a” with transporters “Progress M-27M” launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 28 at 10:09 Moscow time. It was assumed that six hours after the start of the ship moored to the ISS, bringing six crew members of the expedition 43/44 more than 2.5 tons of cargo: food, fuel, oxygen and equipment for scientific experiments. However, because of the emergency situation, he turned into an unplanned orbit, May 8 already burned up in the atmosphere. Financial losses from a failed start-up is estimated at 2.6 billion rubles.

Supermoon exploded Internet – photos and videos from around the world – RSUTE

Saturday, August 29, in the skies over Russia one can see the so-called Supermoon. It is due to the coincidence of three factors – the full moon, moonrise, and as close to the Earth satellite. This Saturday the moon passes through the closest point to our planet.

Supermoon is astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the full moon or new moon coincides with perigee – the moment of closest approach of the Moon and the Earth. At this point, with the Earth can be observed in larger size of the lunar disk than usual. Name Supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle (Richard Nolle) over 30 years ago.

this such a beautiful celestial show, during which the maximal approach of the moon to the Earth (356 thousand kilometers – a maximum of 410 thousand kilometers) to coincide with the full moon and rising natural satellite of our planet, in 2015 there will be three – 30 August, 28 September and 27 October.

At the same time the most beautiful and unusual, according to astronomers, would be the September Supermoon, when the Russians and all the other inhabitants of the earth will see in the night sky a bloody giant moon. The unusual shade of the natural satellite of Earth scientists explain the Earth’s shadow, which at the time Supermoon “pass” on the disk of the moon.

Members of social networks began to spread photos of the full moon. Today is one of the few days when earthlings can observe the astronomical phenomenon in which natural satellite, is at a minimum distance from the Earth, fully illuminated by the sun. The phenomenon was called Supermoon as the angular size of the brightness of the night 10% higher than usual.
Unusually large and bright lunar disk can be seen in the sky often, say astronomers. Current Supermoon will last three days, so that the citizens of Russia, but like all the other inhabitants of the Earth will be able to watch it two nights. The next time the full moon to the position of the moon at perigee, this is the name closest to the ground point of the lunar orbit coincides September 28.

Residents of the regions in which clouds and rain do not interfere with enjoying astronomical phenomenon, happy pictures of the super-moon and spread the pictures in social networks. Some prepared for the event in advance and took favorable for shooting locations, left the city.

The next time Supermoon can be observed on September 28 this year. It coincides with a full lunar eclipse.

Members of social networks very actively spread photos and video of this unique astronomical phenomenon, because it is very rare to see such a size and brightness of the moon. The moon is not just as close to our planet, but also the angle of side-scan 10% longer than usual. Just three days it will be possible to observe this time Supermoon, although certainly the most vivid and exciting spectacle could be seen on the night of 29 on August 30, but in the next two nights will be very interesting to watch the moon.

Launched isolation experiment to simulate life on Mars – 3DNews

US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the launch of the next insulating experiment to simulate the flight and for life on Mars.

At this time, six volunteers – three men and three women – will spend away from civilization exactly one year. They will live and work in a specially equipped unit, which is a dome with a diameter of 11 meters and a height of 6 meters. Each team member has a small room with a bunk and a desk.

The dome is mounted near the dormant volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii. This area was not chosen randomly: local landscapes vaguely resemble Martian landscape – around virtually no vegetation, and large animals this region bypassed.

The team included astrobiologist from France, a physicist from Germany, as well as the pilot, architect , medical / journalist and a soil scientist from the United States. During the experiment, the insulating members can leave the unit only in spacesuits. The diet will make freeze-dried and canned foods. Communication with the outside world will be through the Internet with limited access.

It is expected that the experiment will help in the study of medical and psychological problems that can confront the crew during the flight and stay on the Red Planet.

The experiment started on Friday at 3 pm local time.

NASA calculated by an experiment to study the medical, psychological and other problems that might encounter the crew of a ship going to Mars .

“I think one of the most important lessons is that it is impossible to prevent personal conflicts. They will take place in such a long mission, even with the best people, “- said one of the organizers of the experiment Kim Binsted.

The US space agency had already twice conducted similar experiments: they lasted four and eight months. The current experiment will be the longest in time and be as close to the real conditions of a flight to Mars.

Russian missile did not burned and led American satellite into orbit – UKRAINIAN TRUTH

Carrier rocket “Proton-M” has successfully placed into orbit US telecommunications satellite Inmarsat-5 F3.

This was August 29 reported at the Russian Space Agency.

“INMARSAT-5F3 cleanly separated from the booster block Breeze-M on the target supersinhronnoy transfer orbit (with an apogee of 65 thousand. km.) and was adopted by the management of the customer start,” – the report says.

Start “Proton” on 28 August at 14:44 calculations of rocket-space industry of Russia from the Baikonur “cosmodrome.”

Held space launch – 405th Proton launch; This year – the fourth, noted in Roskosmos.

Inmarsat-5 F3 – the third of the three Inmarsat satellites fifth generation, developed and manufactured by Boeing (US). The first two satellites of I-5 were launched on Proton in 2013 and in February 2015 g of.

As you know, in May 2015 in 497 seconds after the launch of “Proton”, as reported in the Russian Space Agency, was detected abnormal operation of engines of the third stage of the launch vehicle. “The orbit was deduced Mexican communications satellite Mexsat-1, from the third stage of the rocket, he is not separated and burned in the atmosphere.

In Russia, the damage from a failed launch of” Proton ” estimated at 57 million rubles.

Since 2010, the accident resulted in seven launches of Russian rockets “Proton-M”, “Soyuz-U”, “Zenit-3SL” (Russian-Ukrainian), ” Soyuz-2.1a. “It lost two cargo ships and 9 satellites.
