Interesting geoglyphs discovered in Peru The new lines drawn on the ground discovered in Peru in the Palpa province form geoglyphs that the researchers have defined as spectacular showing about fifty geometrical figures depicting humans, monkeys, different animals and even a whale; but of these only about twenty-five are new because the site with these interesting designs was already known by the local population (being on a hill visible from below). To carry out the aerial observations were used of drones that flew over the area at about thirty meters high and was opened in this way a new door regarding the hypotheses of the function and meaning of the geoglyphs being more ancient of different centuries compared to the famous ones of Nasca and probably made by the Paracas and Topara culture between the five hundred B.C. and the two hundred A.D. and then as if tracing drawings were a kind of cultural tradition even more ancient. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 18, 2018

 In race methods to reuse carbon dioxide The systems and technologies to capture carbon dioxide from production plants using fossil fuels and reuse it for example to obtain construction materials and methanol are attracting the attention of energy companies that promote a race with ten finalists more than anything else according to the organizers to open the mind of the population and demonstrate what is possible, then besides avoiding that this gas ends in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect could reduce the demand for cement that is responsible for five percent of global CO2 emissions and use methanol in the production of many materials and autotraction. Some recently analyzing emissions data say that without a significant reduction in polluting emissions we should extract more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than we are prepared to do with a ladder at higher steps. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 11, 2018 n°: 3738 Big investments on artificial intelligence The so-called artificial intelligence could have a considerable acceleration in the coming years after the announcement of the allocation of large resources made by the main countries that want to compete in this high technology sector considered strategic for the future of thinking machines, but despite the reassuring statements made by some that this new industry will have to follow ethical criteria remains the fear that in reality we could hide a Machiavellian philosophy type "the end justifies the means" (as recently emerged in the case of of development lines made by a leader of a well-known social network) nested behind the artificial connections that simulate the activity of human thought. The logic of artificial intelligence will probably be different from that to which we are accustomed by being able to exploit the possibilities of quantum physics that at first impact are strange, abstract and almost incomprehensible. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 31, 2018 n°: 3730 Pollution and behavior of children Cognitive functions of school-aged children may be maimed due to exposure to pollution during fetal life in the womb, at least from a study carried out in Holland on seven hundred and eighty-three children who would have associated exposure to thin particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide to a lower-thickness cortex in different areas of both hemispheres of the brain with consequent behavioral problems such as tendency to impulsiveness, attention deficit, hyperactivity and therefore poor school performance. The relationship between exposure to thin particulate matter and alterations of the brain structure would have been found despite the pollution in the residential area considered for the study was well below the limits set by the European Union and only a virtually negligible percentage of mothers had been exposed to pollution levels considered unhealthy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 10, 2018 n°: 3712 Perhaps most creative Neanderthal man of Sapiens That the Neanderthal man had a greater brain and perhaps even greater creative abilities of the Sapiens man was already known for some time and now comes a rather convincing confirmation of the artistic talents of this distant cousin on the evolutionary plane from paintings, fragments of pigments and painted shells found in a cave in Spain (cueva de los Aviones) which should trace back about to one hundred and fifteen thousand years ago and therefore long before the finds attributes to Sapiens; then this discovery raises the doubt about the real attribution of masterpieces of the past at least as far as those who have devised the artistic techniques used. The Neanderthals lived in Europe and Asia before disappearing (but not genetically in DNA) for causes that still have not yet been sufficiently clarified about forty thousand years ago evidently not because more primitive, less creative and less organized than Sapiens that came from Africa. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 24, 2018

Blood test for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's When we get older the mechanism that prevents protein aggregates from spreading in the brain works a little less well causing over the years an increasingly wider degeneration in the synapses, then this process leaves the biomarkers that according to a study carried out by Japanese and Australian researchers it is possible to detect with a simple blood test; in fact it would remain the trace of two small proteins produced by a precursor of the amyloid protein that only now can be identified thanks to a sophisticated examination that is rather accurate, less invasive and cheaper than the traditional type examinations (but for the treatment is still missing a cure). As far as Parkinson's would suffice to measure the level of caffeine in the blood since people who have this degenerative disease have much lower levels of caffeine in the blood than healthy individuals. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 08, 2018 n°: 3686 Orcas can say a few words Repeating some simple words like "hello," "by - by", "one - two", "ah - ha" to an orca trained in a French aquarium the cetacean would have managed to mimic the sounds some at the first attempt others after a dozen attempts, at least according to a joint study carried out by researchers from different countries who would be able to impart the "copy command" to the fourteen-year-old orca called Wikie even though there would be no evidence that it could include for example the meaning of "hello". The ability to this type of vocal imitation is probably something similar to what happens in nature; in fact the observations show that orcas communicate with each other with a variety of dialects. To report by changing argument and moving on to the plant kingdom that Australian researchers would have found in some plants a greater photosynthetic efficiency for the remarkable presence of microscopic channels called plasmodesmata. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 03, 2018 n°: 3682 Learn from California wildfires Firefighters committed to dealing with fires in California are burning one after the other the homes affected by the fire front "Thomas" (from the name of the college from which could have sprung the first flame) that widens more and more have stated that was unthinkable a scenario like this in December until a few years ago and that we should pleasure the houses so that they are not easily attacked by fire and this consideration is valid in all areas of the world with similar conditions. After the fire has been circumscribed the fire continues to burn for days and weeks in the houses destroyed because of flammable materials that can with the wind restart and feed the flames, then should pay attention to the type of gardens vegetation around the houses; in fact often happens that after fires plants easily attacked by fire take the place of the original vegetation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 19, 2017 n°: 3643 Combination of drugs effective for Alzheimer's Replicating in vitro the brain tissue of five patients with familial type Alzheimer's and four of sporadic type of Japanese researchers would simulate in both cases the pathological condition of the disease, characterized by the accumulation of plaques of amyloid beta protein, and besides highlighting that there would be a family history they proceeded to test over one thousand two hundred and fifty medications to find a combination of these that might be more effective for the care. In practice the best combination results from the use of molecules already known and used for the treatment of Parkinson's, asthma and epilepsy, which have been used for long periods of time should also be safe. The first data monitored on this new combined treatment would have detected, in vitro only, a reduction of more than thirty percent of the amyloid beta protein plaques. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 23, 2017 n°: 3622 Braided boats to build the pyramids In an ancient papyrus dating back to four thousand end five hundred years ago it would have been described by an officer who together with forty skilled workers participated in the construction of the pyramids the ingenious system adopted to erect these huge monumental tombs. In practice they used the summer floods of the Nile to transport the large blocks of stone very close to the construction sites with wooden boats that sailed in canals dug in the direction of small ports and fed by special dams on the river. The braided wooden boats were equipped with holes where passed ropes that allowed to tighten them together with interlocking allowing in this way to load boulders of two and a half tons transporting them with the force of the flow of the current, then once that the boulders were unloaded sails allowed the reverse path with the help of the wind. The specialized workers used for the transport of large blocks lived in dwellings at the construction sites and considered as servants of the state since the construction of the pyramids was an assignment valued as of notable prestige. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 02, 2017 n°: 3604 Mind - training * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
