HIV Prevention Drug

During this time the name of the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) has always been a scourge that is very scary, because there is no medicine that can cure this disease.

At least recently, scientists discovered a pill that is claimed to reduce the risk of HIV disease dramatically. Prevention of HIV by using a pill called Truvada, succeeded in dramatically reducing HIV infection in a study of 2,500 men.

Through a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine, from hundreds of gay men who were randomly assigned to these drugs, only 44 percent of whom are infected with HIV disease.

However, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of Division of the National Institutes of Health, who conducted the survey, 90 percent of the pill is more effective for gay men who really honestly take pills every day. "That figure is very high," said Dr. Fauci, who in this research in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Pill called Truvada was sold so expensive in the United States, which is about U.S. $ 12,000 to $ 14,000. But generic versions of Truvada is available in third world countries, and sold it only costs 40 cents for each pill.

Unfortunately, although the health and insurance company will pay claims for HIV drugs for people who have been infected with this disease, but until now no drug policy to cover claims of HIV prevention, for people who have not become infected.

In addition, the weaknesses of this pill is a side effect caused. This pill was found to cause dizziness and nausea that significant. In addition, the researchers worrying spread of the use of Truvada for the purpose of preventive HIV type instead it triggers another, more resistant.

Because, if a person is infected and he kept taking Truvada, the virus that diidapnya can actually grow into a virus resistant to Truvada and viruses that can spread to others.

Bacteria to Improve Roads

Researchers in Britain are ready to take advantage of the ability of bacteria that could grow quickly to cover the holes in the roads made of concrete,

After completing a long study, scientists from the University of Newcastle said that in the near future they could assign the bacteria they studied to do so.

The scientists optimize small microbe to produce a framework that is BacillaFilla rod-shaped bacterial very hard reinforced by calcium carbonate and 'glue' special bacterial.

Interestingly, these bacteria have origins very close to Bacillus subtilis, or a bacterium commonly found in soil.

When the creature that has been genetically modified is in contact with the hole or crack that has a specific pH in the concrete, they will germinate and enter into it and start breeding. At a certain point, bacterial colonies are genetically programmed that it will destroy myself for not even damage the concrete in question.

As a result, bacterial artificial patches were reported as strong with patches of normal concrete.

Jennifer Hallinan, one of the researchers of University of Newcastle, England said, the material made by bacteria is very valuable. Not only for the streets, but also the buildings. Especially buildings that have been ingested or earthquake rocked age.

"Looking for ways to extend the life of the building means we can reduce the environmental impact and find sustainable solutions,".

Hallinan said the concrete patches of bacteria were also very useful in areas where earthquakes frequently threatened and forced local authorities to destroy the building that mengalmi damage because there is no easy way to fix cracks and makes the building come back strong.

The findings of Hallinan and his team presented at the event Biology Conference. Notes about the findings you can download here.

Scott Maclean, one of the inventors from the United States who work in the field of prototype robots since 2004 said that he had been contacted by several customers who came from England.

"Some people have contacted us, including a man who claims himself a nobleman. We also have several subscriptions from Europe, Russia, Korea and other countries," added Scott.

Scott reported that he received orders to make robots that are similar to Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson. "But I can not make a model of a robot like them without permission," he said.

Giorgio Armani Galaxy S

For the sake of a label fashion world, prices soar so high so smartphones. This is what happens with the Galaxy S when it collaborated with Giorgio Armani.

Touch-screen gadget made by Samsung is actually 'only' priced in the $ 600. But after a linked logo 'Armany', he jumped to $ 947.

Indeed, this is not the cell phone designated for ordinary users. But more precisely targeted to their lovers and observers of fashion, not just a gadget enthusiast.

Because the gadgets on offer this feature and technology does not vary much with normal S Galaxy. Carrying the Android OS, 4 inch wide screen, the processor 1 Ghz, 5 megapixel camera, and can record 720p HD video.

The differences that occur only on the logo 'Giorgio Armani' at the top of the front screen, the shape is more subtle, and has installed a special application Armani. Not much different.

With the soaring price of it, I wonder if the marketing of these handsets would not be made in bulk. Only for certain circles, which for now only visited the European market.

Many people are pessimistic when Giorgio Armani S Galaxy will be anchored to other countries. Even including the United States because the price is almost touching the $ 1,000 it.

Ubuntu 11.04

Ubuntu Developer Summit in October 2010, Mark Shuttleworth announced Ubuntu 4.11 will be released with Unity as the default desktop environment. Although the use Unity, but the application that is added will continue to use Gnome-based applications. Just know that Unity is a desktop environment for Ubuntu Netbook Edition since version 10:10.

There are a lot of response to this news and of course the sharpest criticism came from the advanced users. The reason is simple, because Unity desktop shell is not quite friendly to users of advanced classes.

Unity is a desktop shell that only use one desktop with full-screen display. This is understandable because the Unity is a desktop shell for the netbook which has a mini-screen.

And for advanced users, the ability of Unity is much different from the Gnome in which the user can set the desired number of desktops. The number of desktops is the ability of more than one of the most desired by advanced users who usually use the computer for various things.

One of the most fundamental question is why Canonical chooses to make Unity rather than develop Gnome Shell? The most plausible reason in the world of programming is to code in a code jadul Gnome (the past).

And for programmers working with code jadul is suffering. When programmers work hard to add and refine old school code, in their minds hint: 'I can make better than this. "

Preparation of the Future?

But that's not what is said Shuttleworth. Ubuntu is a distro that puts the display as one of the foundations for known. And to make the look really interesting Ubuntu should change some things.

One idea Canonical to bring Ubuntu is a global menu that unfortunately rejected by the Gnome. And Ubuntu itself also refuses to use that Mutter presented by Gnome because of performance reasons and chose to use Compiz.

Shuttleworth also argues that multitouch is the future of technology is inevitable. And to prepare ourselves in the world of multitouch Unity is the right weapon that can be used by Linux, according to Shuttleworth.

What does Canonical is not new. There are many who have done this before Canonical. Intel's Moblin project, Nokia's Qt-based projects for smartphones, OLPC, OpenMoko, Novell, and of course the Android.

Did they all succeed? No, except for Android. Is this time Unity will gain success? Could be yes, may not.
Ubuntu currently has users in various parts of the world. Ranging from advanced users to end-users.

Advanced Users Will Escape?

Success for Canonical, of course, is not difficult to see how many Ubuntu users. Nevertheless, the switch from Gnome to Unity to end-users too easy. However, if Canonical is going to gain success it helps them learn from Android.

For end-users change from Gnome to Unity is not a complicated issue. Besides not much different from the Gnome, Unity is also much more interesting. So, relax.

Well, for these advanced users a fairly large effect. Unity is a product that is still far from perfect because it's still a baby as well as not enough to accommodate advanced users purposes.

So, the choice for advanced users is to change the desktop shell or switch distros. This world of open source, right?

C919, Boeing Competitors

Recent weeks, two major manufacturers of commercial jet aircraft have a problem. Earlier this month, the A380, the latest in the range of Airbus aircraft have a problem in Singapore after an explosion in the engine while airborne.
After that, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is being tested emergency landing due to smoke in the cabin.

Apparently, a greater challenge for both manufacturers are not the problems mentioned above. The threat is coming from Commercial Aircraft Corp., A Chinese company will also produce commercial jet aircraft potentially become serious competitors Boeing and Airbus.

Reportedly, the C919 aircraft made by Chinese companies that can accommodate 156 passengers in 2016 it will air next.

Although not a competitor Airbus A380 or Boeing 787, this C919 will compete in the same segment with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 which is popularly used by many airlines around the world.

As quoted from the LA Times, 17 November 2010, China represents a market of air transportation has the fastest growing in the world. It is estimated that, within the next 20 years, the country needs more than 4 thousand aircraft.

Although Boeing and Airbus are now quite influential in the Chinese market, it does not mean they can stay in power when C919 is present in the future. Moreover, when producing the aircraft, China has also received support from a number of leading aviation technology companies including Honeywell, GE Aviation, Eaton Corp., Parker Aerospace, CFM International, and a number of other manufacturers.

"Every generation has its own historical milestone," said Zhang Yanzhong, Chief Engineer Commercial Aircraft Corp.. "We've completed the technology of nuclear weapons, satellites, and space exploration. Now is the time to produce a large jet aircraft, "he said.

However, the success of the C919 still needs to be proven. Before this, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia failed in their attempt to produce large-capacity commercial jet. Delayed-tundanya Boeing 787 Dreamliner production and problems in the mesen-owned Airbus A380 also shows that even the players terbesarpun failure.

However, China is not blind about the assembly and manufacture of components for aircraft. For information, the Airbus A320 final assembly carried out in Tianjin. Half of the 12 thousand aircraft owned by Boeing, its components come from China. In addition, about 600 thousand Chinese workers working in the field of aerospace. The amount is the same lot with the U.S. aerospace workforce.

Sterile mosquitoes

U.S. scientists develop genetic engineering technology to eradicate the mosquito causes dengue fever in the Cayman Islands. The prevalence of the disease reported in these islands is very high. The trial is the first time carried out in the open after a few years was developed in laboratory scale with the number of counting calculations.

"These field trials will be a big leap," said Andrew Read, professor of biology and entomology at Pennsylvania State University. The move to abolish serangka that mediates the disease, he said, is very favorable for life.

Dengue fever disease starts from a mosquito bites an infected, causing fever, pain in the joints, and lead to rupture of blood membuluh. A total of 2.5 billion citizens of the world at risk of dengue fever, according to WHO data, and at least 50 million cases are found each year. To date, no vaccine that can prevent it. Unlike malaria, dengue fever outbreaks can not be predicted.

How does the system work anti-dengue fever mosquito is this? Researchers at Oxitec Limited manipulate sterile male mosquitoes by manipulating the composition of its DNA. In the Cayman Islands, the researchers release the 3 million males to see females of the same type. Second marriage would not produce offspring. Just so you know, blood-sucking mosquitoes only pregnant female mosquitoes.

Within a week, the scientists gradually releasing mosquitoes three times in an area of 40 acres. In this group of Caribbean Islands, dengue fever is endemic center. Hopefully, this barren mosquitoes will be able to reduce cases of dengue fever up to 80 percent.

But this move was opposed most of the environmental activists. They are worried to be born a mutant mosquitoes - the unwanted gene mutation - that would endanger humans and the environment

Storage Virtual

Hitachi developed a new platform in virtual storage and management software Hitachi Command Suite (HCS). Both the benchmark virtualization solution in the new enterprise-class IT industry.

"In the midst of a shrinking budget, organizational change and intense competition, companies are challenged to make information available any time but stay safe. Meanwhile, IT organizations must do many things with the least possible resources," said Jack Domme, chief executive officer, Hitachi Data Systems.

In this connection, Hitachi helps solve one of the biggest challenges in the industry through this single platform for all data, which is supported by our leadership in virtual technology. Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform is claimed to be the latest step forward in transforming raw data into valuable information that offers the scalability and adaptability.

In this case, Hitachi Data Systems to develop a single, virtualized platform for all kinds of data with the ability to manage multi-vendor environment. Virtual Storage Platform is the first 3D storage platform designed for all types of data.

Virtual Storage Platform is a solution that is able to dynamically provide three types of development, ie, scale up, scale out and scale deep - known also as 3D Scaling. Data center with 3D capability Scaling has the performance, capacity and flexible virtualization with multi-vendor storage. Scale data center can be dynamically adjusted starting from small-scale configuration to then develop according to customer requirements.

According to recent research, the volume of data increases with an annual growth rate to 50 percent. The growth of unstructured data such as email, pictures, audio and video even grow 10 times faster than structured data. In the healthcare industry alone, the amount of data created quadrupled every two years. Operational costs to manage the additional volume of data has now accounted for over 65 percent of the total cost of storage.

Hitachi claims the new solution can reduce the cost of disk drives by 70 percent compared to storage without any virtualization platform, through tiered storage (tiered-storage), reclamation and dynamic storage-tiering. Customers also can feel the reduction in total ownership cost per terabyte (TB) up to 33 percent in the first year of implementation. In fact, this new platform can be cut to 30 percent of the cost of electricity, cooling and space consumption compared to storage platforms over the existing board at this time

China surpassed the United States in terms of supercomputer technology. It is based survey engine speed computer in the world to be assessed by experts from Germany and the United States.

Tianhe-1 which means 'Milky Way' capable of reaching speeds of computing 2570 trillion calculations per second, and placed on the throne the first in a survey of 500 supercomputers.

However, Tianhe - 1 which is used in Tianjin using computer chips made by U.S. companies.

While the previous champion, the computer used Jaguar U.S. government in Tennessee, slipped in second place. Jaguar is able to move with speed of 1750 trillion calculations per second.

While China's other kompter system, nebulae, in Shenzhen was in third position.

Although the U.S. still dominate, at least more than half the category's fastest 500 computers, but China managed to enter 42 in the rankings system was. China even beat other technological superpower - Japan, France, Germany, and England.

This is not the first time the U.S. digital king's crown was taken over Asian countries. In 2002, Japan made machine with a force equivalent to 20 U.S. top computer combined into one.

Supercomputers are used for various fields which require complicated calculations with many variables such as defense, energy, finance, and science.

The race super computers also become a national pride of a nation.

Eruption of the Sun Spot

Ominous news yet again come from the realm of astronomy. Late last week, one of sunspots has just erupted and the eruption aka corona ejects large amounts or referred to some as a solar storm.

Is there any impact on the earth? There. However, anyone hoping that did not happen.

If you ever hear about predictions of solar storms that occur later in the year 2013 and will paralyze all activity on earth, more or less what happened last weekend, too. However, this time scale is probably not as big as previously estimated.

In pictures corona, or pseudo light around the sun, which was captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft and NASA's twin, STEREO, visible gas cloud erupted out of 1123 sunspots around the southern sun on Friday morning time local.

The eruption that scientists have been classified as C-4 solar spots. Unfortunately, materials that "spit" eruption was pointed straight toward earth at speeds approaching nearly 500 kilometers per hour.

NASA estimates that the gas cloud will reach the Earth's atmosphere about two or three days from Friday, or around Sunday or Monday local time (Florida, USA). "Observers should be aware of the existence of astronomical latitude auroras on these days," NASA said in his statement, quoted VIVAnews from TG Daily, Monday, November 15, 2010.

The good news, this time only a small proportion of hotspots that are strong enough to produce solar storms. However, if a large enough amount of the material, which contains mostly protons and electrons, of course able to produce magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation into space.

As a result, the radiation that emerged later destroy all electromagnetic waves in the earth and make a big disaster.

Could you imagine a world without telecommunications? Almost all mass transportation would be crippled, ranging from railway, MRT, subway, and of course aircraft.

Any form of GPS-based navigation and related satellite affected. Mobile networks and radio will disappear. And, the worst happened: the next few days we are living without electricity.

I-Slate

IPad tablet computer such as price or less obvious Galaxy Tab to reach the villagers. As a solution, a cheap price tablet being developed for the millions of students in rural India.

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Rice University duet gush tablet was named I-Slate. Adjusted for the conditions of rural India still lack electricity, I-Slate just need a little energy derived from solar power.

I-Slate initiated by Krishna Palem, academics from Rice University and was developed at the Institute of Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAID) based at NTU. The first prototype of this device will be tested in India a few months.

"Same with our friends around the world, students in the village are also hungry for learning, technology literacy and happy to try new educational tools for creativity. I-Slate to bring the wonders of technology to thousands of rural schools," said Rajeswari Pingali, president of the institution that helped Vidal support this project. not explained what kind of detail the ability of I-Slate. Some of the features mentioned is the application of mathematics and navigation with the stylus.

Given that the target students, most likely features in I-Slate intended to support the learning process at school. With the I-Slate, students in rural India was able to sample such as whether the tablet, though not as sophisticated as the iPad or Galaxy Tab.

Dinosaur Embryo

Some paleontologists, or referred also to the fossil expert, recently identified the world's oldest dinosaur embryo. It was presented in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

Embryos of more than one, found in eggs and is still well maintained. Age is estimated according to the era where dinosaurs still roam, about 190 million years ago.

Researchers said that, until now, the embryo is an embryo of the oldest land vertebrates. Then, what kind of dinosaur that has the oldest embryos that?

Massospondylus, one giant ancestor of the group prosauropod, plant-eating dinosaurs. Quite easily recognize the sauropods. He has four legs, long neck and tail.

Professor Robert Reisz of the University of Toronto Mississauga along with several colleagues is the inventor of the embryo. They found him in the middle analyze egg fossil found in South Africa. At that time, Assistant Reisz, Diane Scott, directly observed with a microscope capable of high which is compiled with illustrations.

"I'm sure no one else is doing this work before," said Reisz. Embryos found his team are still well maintained and has a complete reconstruction framework and its detailed anatomy.

From these findings, embryonic Massospandylus known to have nearly eight inches long, four-legged, relatively long neck, large head is not proportional. In contrast, adults have a long fossil Massospandylus 16.5 feet, his head is relatively small, long-necked, the possibility to walk only with two legs.

With these findings, it can be concluded while that when the embryos are mature, neck and spine is growing faster than the front legs and head.

"This project opens a new window on the early history and evolution of dinosaurs," says Reisz. "Prosauropod is the first dinosaur that has a wide diversity. They are also easily scattered into groups, so that their biology is very interesting to study because it represents the beginning of the life of dinosaurs in ancient times," said he said.

Biggest Testis

When asked what animal has the largest testicles? Perhaps many will say, "Horse!"

Unfortunately, the answer is wrong. Because animal testicles size of the largest holders of record as compared to its body size is: Cricket bushcricket (Platycleis affinis).

As quoted by LiveScience, in Australia and America, cicada species is known also as the katydid. According to behavioral ecologist at the University of Derby UK Karim Vahed, cricket is in Southern Europe can be found in grassy areas.

According to the researchers, cicada species has a size of testicles are the size of about 14 percent of the total size of the body. As an illustration, the proportions of the body like that, when the cicadas have the body of an adult human being, then the expected testikelnya weighing 12.7 kg, or heavier than the weight of children a year.

The crickets at once subvert the largest testicles record, which is owned by fruit flies Drosophilla Bifurca, with testicles the size of 10.6 percent of the entire body.

However, with large testicles that are owned, does not mean that cricket is to produce more sperm during ejaculation, than other species that have smaller testicles.

Only, stamina owned bushcricket crickets are more 'good'. "The testes make male crickets can be better prepared to serve the desires of female crickets," said Vahed.

Oil Reserves

A study says global oil reserves will be exhausted within 90 years. Ironically, when it comes time replacement technology resources that can not be refurbished are expected not ready.

Theory of a study conducted by UC Davis, the new campus in California, U.S., based on estimates of the share price will fall closer to that time.

The prediction comes after a survey done on a number of long-term investors, which they regarded as the best predictor of when the new alternative energy technologies will successfully become the new energy substitution.

"Our findings suggest that renewable energy is a reliable and independent, at least prior to the time foreseen," said head of research Debbie Niemeier, Friday, November 11, 2010.

The study team uses market capitalization (market cap) as a reference, based on stock prices and dividends of oil companies that have public equity and alternative energy companies.

"Sophisticated investors tend to give up the effort of collecting, processing, and information about future cash flows on securities firms," says Niemeier.

"As a result, estimates of future market, which represents the consensus prediction of most investors, relatively accurate," he said.

Niemeier said the results show about renewable energy forecast was not ambitious enough to prevent its impact on society at large, economic development, and natural ecosystems.

"We need a very strong global policy to encourage development of alternative technologies together for the earth and its contents can survive," said Niemeier.

Samsung Continuum

Samsung Continuum, variant S with double screen Galaxy was officially released. There is a uniqueness Samsung Continuum that does not exist in other Android phones, an extra screen, called Ticker.

In the United States, the phone is released exclusively with Verizon service. Then, as if his ability? Hands on the PCWorld reveal features mainstay in the Continuum.

Samsung Continuum was light, but like any other S Galaxy, body material impress 'so plastic'. Move to an area of 3.4-inch screen, Super Amoled technology ensures clarity awake. While both screens are also used Super Amoled.

This phone is considered synonymous with Samsung Fascinate, mobile variant of the other S Galaxy which also sold Verizon. The difference is, there are dedicated camera button on the Continuum. Just unfortunately, there is no front camera.

Ticker Display

The second screen or Ticker claimed very responsive and not just a display of its functions are quite useful. There are some here as a shortcut notification related applications. The main menu displays the date, time and weather, but can be shifted to other menus.

Fun, Ticker can control the music player feature. In addition, the small screen also displays RSS feeds, missed calls, SMS and IMS.

Ticker can be activated simply by holding the body Continuum because there are sensors in there. This is useful if the user simply check a specific menu but do not want to turn on the main screen.

Hypersonic Aircraft

NASA plans budgeted U.S. $ 5 million per year within the next three years to develop a hypersonic vehicle that could fly up to 5 times the speed of sound.

If the aircraft is used in commercial aviation, so he no longer need 21 hours to travel between New York and Sydney. Enough 2 hours only. Also reportedly, the technology will be implemented on commercial aircraft.

However, the main goal of this project is to find ways how people can go into space and to planets like Mars without using rockets.

Instead of a rocket, the vehicle will use a machine that uses air, like a commercial aircraft. Although hypersonic flight ever achieved several times before, this approach is a new technology. The aircraft will be capable of taking off and landing like a passenger plane, but with more power.

According to NASA proposal quoted by TG Daily, 9 November 2010, the plane will have to be used repeatedly. To that end, new materials need to be developed so as to overcome the very high temperatures.

Mentioned, the main problem is an obstacle in developing a hypersonic plane is overheating. And since the plane will fly and land like a normal plane, the transition from normal speed to hypersonic speeds after the plane left the atmosphere. For that, control and energy management is critical.

For information, hypersonic aircraft is currently the fastest X51-A Waverider is also developed for NASA. The aircraft is airborne with the help of B-52 bomber aircraft is capable of reaching speeds of Mach 6 (about 7350 kilometers per hour) for about 3 minutes.

In addition, NASA also has X43-A, hypersonic aircraft capable of flying at nearly 7 times the speed of sound (speed of sound to reach 1236 kilometers per hour at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius).

Solar Storms

Year 2013 will be the year the Sun. It was expected to storm the sun. Although not to destroy civilization on Earth, this is clearly a phenomenon that can not be underestimated.

Solar storms can affect the atmosphere, break the telecommunications network, and turn off the power grid on Earth. As a result fatal to humans who already depend on technology.
Imagine living without electricity, in a matter of hours or even months. Meanwhile, mass transportation - trains, MRT, Subway, and airplanes. Not only that, GPS devices and satellite-based navigation will be paralyzed. Do not expect your mobile phone will be used.

In 2008, the predictable, solar storms will cost the economy U.S. $ 2 trillion in the first year. Recovery takes 10 years.

To anticipate the catastrophe, the U.S. space agency, NASA discovered new tools: an early warning to protect the Earth's energy sources from the enormity of the storm the sun.

NASA's latest project is called 'Solar Shield' which is designed to predict the severity of the storm the sun in a particular location on Earth. This is to help the utility company to plan a response and limit the potential damage to their equipment.

"This tool is to know 'something is coming and it may be great," said project head, Antti Pulkkinen, like a loaded site Space.com.

How does it work?

The process will be like this: When the coronal mass ejection or a burst of solar corona mass of data collected, data from observatories such as SOHO satellite and NASA satellite stereo, enabling the team to make 3D models and provide long-term predictions when the storm would arrive - up to 24-48 hours forecast.

The team then used the computers at the Goddard's Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) to make general predictions,

Then, NASA's space weather monitoring satellites will monitor the current flow of particles moving closer to Earth, about 30 to 60 minutes before reaching our planet.

Recent data, allowing the team to rapidly improve and constrict their predictions. These results will be submitted to NASA's Electric Power Research Institute Program Sunburst and then delivered on the company's electricity provider.

Pulkkinen said Solar Shield project is still in experimental stages and the observation data is still needed more sun.

Ancient Galaxies

Astronomers and cosmologists from The Open University in Milton Keynes, England managed to detect the primordial galaxy. He did it by using the effects caused by the distortion of space and time in the great distance between the earth and the galaxy.

According to astronomers, Mattia Negrello, these galaxies previously hidden behind dust space. The discovery of very distant galaxies that have the potential to reveal how the process of galaxy formation and the early universe.

He explained that the galaxy distance is generally difficult to see. But the dim light of galaxies shrouded in dust outer space even more difficult to detect, even though using the largest telescopes available today. However, the stronom managed to boost their effectiveness by relying on the lens telescopes and galaxies that exist among astronomers with the object they want to see.

Gravitational attraction from objects that are in the middle between the researcher and the object was observed to interfere with space and time, this effect is able to bend light. Effect called 'gravitational lensing' is what can improve the ability of vision to a very distant galaxy, or at least allow researchers to capture a few pictures around the galaxy.

Generally, find the gravitational lense is also very time consuming. Currently, using data from the Herschel space telescope, the galaxy can be detected easily using a sub-millimeter wave light winded when observing the sky with a fairly large in size.

The object is viewed from the sub-millimeter range is generally thought to be a dusty galaxy, located at long distances and have a strong blast of star formation. This intense Aktivtas produce dust that obscure them. In particular sky position, researchers discovered five new gravitational lenses, dusty galaxies that form stars.

"I estimate that about four to six pieces of galaxies detected in the data we collected last year," said Mattia Negrello, as quoted from Space, 9 November 2010.

"These data represent about 3 percent of the total area to be mapped by Herchel in the H-ATLAS (Herschel Astrophysical terahertz Large Area Survey)." The word Negrello. "It is very encouraging as they become known that there are actually 5 pieces," he said.

The method used this time researchers simpler than previous techniques. They looked at the sky to search for sub-millimeter-sized radiation, to identify the brightest objects and remove some contaminants such as other galaxies that are nearby.

All that remains later identified as galaxies that form stars. "This is the easiest way to find the appearance of gravitational lensing," says Negrello.

According Negrello, five pieces of galaxies discovered likened only a tip of the iceberg. "We hope to find more than 100 H-ATLAS again in full later on," he said.

By capturing details that amplified by gravitational lensing on the number of galaxies, researchers hope to better understand how they formed and evolved.

Human Embryonic Cells

A Japanese medical institutions said, has created a human embryo cells, or ES cells. This cell is an early stage embryo that can change into various body tissues. As reported by the NHK news agency, a group at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Tokyo, Japan, reporting the matter to the health ministry on Friday (5 / 11).

The Japanese government requires research institutions to get approval to create embryonic cells. Hidenori Akutsu from the National Center said scientists should promote ES cell research because their findings can be applied to iPS cell research. "Hopefully the results of this study to develop treatments for serious disease in children," he said.

Scientists hope to use these cells for regenerative medicine. However, some people oppose this cell research, because the ovaries will not be used again after the process of fertilization. In addition, many biologists in the Interior Sakura changed their research focus to iPS cells, other types of embryonic cells that can be made from leather and other adult cells.

Virus in Facebook

The last few days, the users of social networking site Facebook or called Facebookers dihebohkan with the circulation of a video that contains a sex scene young Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan. A lot of Facebook users are stuck with the fact only video containing viruses that are harmful to their personal data.
The method for distributing these videos is to send event invitations or event invitations that come with a variety of titles such as Lindsey Having Sex with HOT Girl, This is Lindsey Lohan `s Celebrity Leaked Sex Tape, Lindsay Lohan Having a THREEWAY on Camera, and others.

After the event invitation is opened, it will come out a message that reads: "Do not ask how I get this video. No one can watch this video except the people who already get the invitation."

After the message out, the user again faced with the choice to click on the event [Yes] [No] or [Maybe] will not result in the users become victims of exploitation but rather a means to deposit a personal contact in the list of applications.

Previously, a similar mode used a virus spreader that utilizes big-name fast-food restaurant McDonalds. Known this mode is used to steal personal data from users of Facebook, which until now has not known the intent and purpose of data theft.
