Do You Know The Power of Multimedia Production is Yours?

Do You Know The Power of Multimedia Production is Yours?


First multimedia, is mostly referring to software programs that incorporate written info with pictures and sounds to create a very appealing and stimulating "production" if you will. The idea of multimedia production is that the more stimulating something is (i.e. the more senses that you involve) the better the message will get across to the receiver and will "stick."

Rhinoplasty: Plastic Surgery for Your Nose

Rhinoplasty: Plastic Surgery for Your Nose


Rhinoplasty (also known as "nose job" or nose plastic surgery) is a type of plastic surgery that is used to enhance the function or appearance of a person’s nose.

The technique has a profound history, as it was first developed by Sushruta (often dubbed as the “father of surgery”), who lived in ancient India around 500 BC. Several centuries down the line, his method of forehead flap rhinoplasty is practiced almost unchanged even today. Rhinoplasty can be performed for aesthetic reasons (cosmetic surgery) or to rectify congenital defects or breathing problems (reconstructive surgery).

Skyscrapers Can Prevent Formation of Tornadoes?

Given the growing number of tornadoes that form due to climate change, inevitable that pseudo-scientific theories that would prevent them from forming. One of these assumptions, which was very useful to audiences overseas, is one that says skyscrapers prevents tornadoes, which is why they are formed, especially in open field. How true is such statement explains Gary Conte, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in New York.

Erta Ale - Ethiopia

Thirst for knowledge people, passion for exploration anddiscovery, seems to never ends, so the Age of discovery has turned into an incredibly long time, still not final. At this point, the Earth seems to be disclosed secrets, so people do nothave left but to go further, to conquer space. But to reach this point, many adventurers and explorers have faced danger for the sake of knowledge. One of them is British explorer,Ludovico M. Nesbitt, when in 1928, along with two Italians, became the first Europeans to "visit" all the Erta Ale volcano, in a daring excursions which provided a distance ofapproximately 640 km Danakil Depression crossing.


Erta Ale is the language outside the "mountain that smokes"and is actually a set of five volcanoes that form an arc length of80 kilometers. Despite the breathtaking landscapes strangeand colorful games that appear before the eyes, Nesbittremained insensitive, calling the place "a landscape of terror".His reaction can be explained through the harsh conditions thatexplorers had to face it: very high temperatures (about 75 degrees Celsius during the day), a sand so hot that it burnedthrough the soles of boots and, most likely in thinning due towater reserves.

Deşeurile de plastic din oceane ucid balenele


Deşeurile de plastic din oceane ucid balenele
Milioane de tone de deşeuri de plastic aruncate anual în oceane ar putea constitui o ameninţare letală pentru balene. Această afirmaţie este susţinută pe baza unei evaluări ştiinţifice prezentată la o conferinţă internaţională ce are ca subiect situaţia actuală a balenelor.
O analiză a lucrărilor de cercetare din ultimele două decenii relevă sute de cazuri în care cetaceele (balene şi delfini) au fost îmbolnăvite sau ucise de gunoaiele din oceane.
În 2008, doi caşaloţi eşuaţi pe o coastă din California s-au dovedit a avea o mare cantitate de plase de peşte şi alte resturi sintetice în intestinele lor, aproximativ 205 kilograme. Unul dintre animalele de 15 metri avea stomacul rupt, iar celălalt aproape că a murit de foame deoarece avea tractul digestiv blocat cu un dop de vată de plastic.
Şapte caşaloţi masculi eşuaţi în 2009 pe coasta Adriatică din sudul Italiei aveau stomacul plin cu cârlige de pescuit şi numeroase obiecte din plastic.
În 2002, o balenă Minke găsită moartă pe coasta Normandiei din Franţa, avea aproximativ o tonă de plastic în stomac, inclusiv pungi de plastic de la două supermarket-uri britanice.
"Multe balene din Atlanticul de nord-est mor din cauza pungilor de plastic", spune Mark Simmonds, unul dintre autorii raportului prezentat în cadrul conferinţei.
Majoritatea cetaceelor care mor din cauza traumelor intestinale se scufundă pe fundul oceanelor, susţin experţii, astfel că nu se poate şti cât de răspândită este această problemă.
Printre principalele ameninţări la adresa cetaceelor din toată lumea se numără schimbările climatice şi prinderea lor accidentală în plasele de pescuit.
"În multe părţi ale lumii, carcasele de balenă ce eşuează pe mal nu sunt examinate, iar acolo unde sunt cercetate medical, rareori este verificat conţinutul de plastic. Există, însă, numeroase dovezi care arată că deşeurile de plastic din oceanele lumii rănesc aceste animale, iar această problemă necesită cercetări urgente", susţine Simmonds.
Studiile demonstrează că gunoaiele se concentrează în zonele de convergenţă, acele zone care se formează din cauza curenţilor şi a vânturilor, acolo unde balenele se hrănesc din abundenţă.
În 2003, Programul Naţiunilor Unite pentru Mediu a stabilit Iniţiativa Globală privind Deşeurile Marine, dar a lansat o analiză detaliată a domeniului de rezolvare a acestei probleme abia în 2009.
Mai recent, reprezentanţii a 38 de ţări s-au întâlnit în Hawaii pentru a adopta "Angajamentul Honolulu", care să schiţeze o serie de măsuri voluntare.
Pentru balene, nivelul de ameninţare a gunoiului din oceane variază în funcţie de specie şi de tipul de deşeu, sugerează raportul.
Cel mai mare pericol provine din partea toxinelor din plastic, acestea fiind eliberate în apă pe măsură ce plasticul se descompune în timp în particule mici, chiar microscopice.
Pe lângă ameninţările prezentate mai sus, experţii avertizează că şi coliziunile cetaceelor cu nave, dar şi poluarea fonică provenită de la sondele de exploatare petrolieră, ce le afectează ţesuturile, sunt factori suplimentari ce le pun în primejdie viaţa.

Bisfenolul din recipientele de plastic face masculii mai efeminaţi


Bisfenolul din recipientele de plastic face masculii mai efeminaţi
Masculii de şoareci care au fost expuşi încă de mici la bisfenol A, un produs chimic comun întâlnit în produsele alimentare conservate şi cele ţinute în plastic, se comportă similar femelelor şi nu sunt doriţi ca parteneri de viaţă de către acestea, arată un recent studiu american.
Descoperirile ar putea demonstra cum bisfenolul A poate afecta comportamentul uman şi dezvoltarea oamenilor. "Şoarecii căprioară expuşi la bisfenol A arată normal în studiul nostru, nefiind ceva evident în neregulă cu ei. Cu toate acestea, ei sunt în mod clar diferiţi", susţine Cheryl Rosenfeld de la Universitatea Missouri.
"Femelele nu doresc un mascul expus la bisfenol A, aceştia având o performanţă mult mai proastă în sarcinile de deplasare într-un spaţiu în condiţii de siguranţă, care stabilesc capacitatea lor de a-şi găsi parteneri de sex feminin", continuă acesta.
Mamele de şoarece-căprioară au fost hrănite cu alimente care conţineau un nivel de bisfenol A proporţional cu media admisă de guvernul american ca fiind sigură pentru femeile însărcinate.
Şoarecilor de laborator li s-a administrat această dietă timp de două săptămâni, înainte de reproducere şi pe parcursul alăptării. După ce copii lor au fost înţărcaţi, puii au fost hrăniţi cu alimente care nu conţineau bisfenol A, iar comportamentul lor a fost monitorizat până la maturitate.
Şoarecii adulţi care au fost expuşi la bisfenol A au demonstrat o capacitate scăzută de a traversa un labirint în condiţii de siguranţă. Această abilitate este dezvoltată numai la şoarecii masculi, deoarece femelele nu îşi caută partenerii.
"Şoarecii învaţă repede cea mai scurtă cale de a găsi ieşirea corectă. Masculii expuşi au folosit o strategie aleatoare, ineficientă şi eronată", susţine studiul.
Atunci când cercetătorii au observat cum femelele fertile consideră masculii expuşi la bisfenol A şi cei neexpuşi, au descoperit că acestea preferă masculii neexpuşi, cu un factor de doi la unu.
"Aceste concluzii au implicaţii largi şi la alte specii, incluzând oamenii, unde există diferenţe înnăscute între masculi şi femele în tiparele cognitive şi cele comportamentale", menţionează Rosenfeld.
Administraţia Americană pentru Medicamente şi Alimente a constatat o îngrijorare cu privire la bisfenolul A, un produs chimic industrial utilizat pe scară largă la împachetarea diferitelor produse. Acesta este folosit încă din 1960, iar în 2010 s-a publicat un studiu privind riscurile expunerii la acest produs.
Uniunea Europeană şi Canada au interzis utilizarea bisfenolului A în biberoane. Cu toate acestea, nu există un consens cu privire la pericolele acestui produs chimic, susţine studiul.
