Amazon is a new hybrid drone aircraft and helicopter – Gazeta.pl

A year ago, Amazon announced that soon it will provide its customers a package with drones. He published at this video of a flying machine carries a small yellow box with a characteristic “a” of the magazine straight to the customer’s garden. Service is called Amazon Prime Air. Dron had to deliver the parcel within 30 minutes of placing an order.

While the announcement that drones-couriers will appear soon, today service has not been started, and over months it was getting quieter and quieter about it. As it turns out, the US has not abandoned the project (or wants of recall just before Christmas). On Sunday night on the Amazon has published a video of a new type of drone, which is a hybrid of airplane and helicopter. For the presentation of the device hired Jeremy Clarkson, the former leading the program Top Gear.

What did you learn about the new device Amazon? After loading the package it vertically rises to a height of 400 feet (approx. 120 m), and starts the tail rotor changing device with a “chopper” in a “plane”. This solution has dramatically improved coverage. The material in question is about 15 miles (approx. 24 km). In addition, the drone is equipped with a system to avoid collisions. It also seems that, compared with the previous model, the device definitely grown.

Interestingly the film in question is the whole family that operates drones on Amazon. Different models are to be used for different tasks. Still, it is not known when the service starts.

We do not imagine that the smartphone may not have this port. Apple wants him out of the iPhone? – Gazeta.pl

Smartphones need to be more modern and thinner. That’s why Apple, according to reports, the Japanese blog Macotakara, in the next iPhone will remove a standard headphone port. Figuratively speaking, the successor to the iPhone 6 s may be incompatible with standard headphones.

This does not have to be bad news. Engadget notes that Apple may allow connection of headphones for Lightning port, which will allow for the use of technology DAC. This digital-to-analog converter allowing you to enjoy a much better sound quality. The market is already such a handset – a year ago, Philips presented a model of Fidelio.

What will become of Apple removing MiniJack port? Disappears one of the obstacles to slim down the iPhone by another millimeter. And by the way, consumers will be able to buy a new, better headphones.

Reducing the thickness of the device is a permanent trend, so other manufacturers can also delete headphone port device. Headphones will be able to use via USB or Bluetooth.

Currently, it is the thinnest smartphones are: Huawei P8 (6.4mm) and Samsung Galaxy A8 (5,9mm). iPhone 6s is 7.1 mm thick.

Innovation or madness? Airbus wants to create a moving passenger cabin – TVN24 Business World

Pollution harmful to fertility – Polish Radio

Scientists from the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Lodz are not sure what the exact mechanism could be responsible for it. – We suspect that air pollution increase the amount of free radicals in the body, which induce the so-called. oxidative stress, which may reduce the function of the testicles and damage the mature sperm, including their genetic material – explains co-author Dr Joanna Yurevich Research of the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IMP) in Lodz.

 

The study, which took part also specialists from the hospital, “gamete” in Rzgow and the National Research Institute Balice near Krakow, the researchers analyzed data from 327 young men (mean age 32 years) who were taken to a fertility clinic to diagnose the causes of the problems conceiving offspring. These samples were collected from semen, saliva, urine and blood.

 

With a database maintained by the European Environment Agency (EEA) obtained data on air quality and concentrations of various pollutants in residence men. Researchers have focused on the level of suspended particles (having a diameter of 10 microns – PM10, and having a diameter less), sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.

 

They found that men who were exposed in the place of residence to a higher level all the analyzed pollutants have a higher percentage of sperm with abnormal changes in construction. In turn, higher concentrations of suspended particulates, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides was associated with lower levels of testosterone. There were no relationship between the level of pollution and sperm motility and, with.

 

The survey results were published in the journal “Annals of Human Biology”

 

In the second paper, the results published in July 2014. magazine “Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis”, the same team of researchers has demonstrated a link between higher levels of airborne particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5), and a higher incidence sperm with abnormally duplicated genetic material. It was about the existence of two (so called. Disomy), instead of one copy of the Y sex chromosome or chromosome 21. In men smoking, but exposed to more air pollution was found five times higher incidence of Y chromosome disomy.

 

As noted by leading the team of scientists prof. Wojciech Hanke from the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IMP) in Lodz, where the sperm with the wrong number of chromosomes fertilizes an egg cell is in a child reaches developmental disorders (eg. The presence of three chromosomes 21 leads to Down’s syndrome).

Scientists are not sure what exactly a mechanism could be responsible for it. – We suspect that air pollution increase the amount of free radicals in the body, which induce the so-called. oxidative stress, which may reduce the function of the testicles and damage the mature sperm, including their genetic material – said study co-author Dr. Joanna Yurevich from the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IMP) in Lodz.

In addition, certain air pollutants, especially particulates suspended particles move hormonally active compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These compounds interfere with the body’s secretion of hormones, including testosterone, which regulates the process of spermatogenesis.

The study in which took part also specialists from the hospital, “gamete” in Rzgow and the National Research Institute Balice near Krakow, the researchers analyzed data from 327 young men (mean age 32 years) who were taken to a fertility clinic to diagnose the cause of problems with conceiving a child . These samples were collected from semen, saliva, urine and blood.

With a database maintained by the European Environment Agency ( EEA) obtained data on air quality and concentrations of various pollutants in residence men. Researchers have focused on the level of suspended particles (having a diameter of 10 microns – PM10, and having a diameter less), sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen during the 90 days prior to sampling (for spermatogenesis, namely the production of new sperm, it takes an average of 74 days) . The survey results were published in the journal “Annals of Human Biology” in July 2015.

In the analysis, : You have had various diseases which may affect the quality of sperm, like mumps, cryptorchidism, trauma or surgery to the testicles, smoking cigarettes (based on the presence of saliva metabolite of nicotine), other elements of lifestyle and factors affecting women in the workplace.

we found that men who were exposed in the place of residence to a higher level all the analyzed pollutants have a higher percentage of sperm the abnormal changes in construction. In turn, higher concentrations of suspended particulates, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides was associated with lower levels of testosterone. There were no relationship between the level of pollution and sperm motility and, with.

In the second paper, the results published in July 2014. magazine “Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis”, the same team of researchers has demonstrated a link between higher levels of airborne particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5), and a higher incidence of sperm with abnormally duplicated genetic material. It was about the existence of two (so called. Disomy), instead of one copy of the Y sex chromosome or chromosome 21. In men smoking, but exposed to more air pollution was found five times higher incidence of Y chromosome disomy.

As noted in an interview with PAP leader of the team of scientists prof. Wojciech Hanke from the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IMP) in Lodz, where the sperm with the wrong number of chromosomes fertilizes an egg cell is in a child reaches developmental disorders (eg. The presence of three chromosomes 21 leads to Down’s syndrome). The specialist noted, however, that the sperm with the wrong number of chromosomes (called. Aneuploidy) fortunately rare win in the race to fertilization. Besides, in most cases fetuses with these disorders do not survive.

– It must be emphasized that in our study we have not tested whether changes in the sperm or testosterone levels translate into a reduction in male fertility. To do this, you need to plan another study – said prof. Hanke. He noted that all men were correct, according to the WHO standards, the concentration of sperm – from 15 to 300 million per 1 ml of ejaculate.

The problem, however, is that the average concentration of sperm in the semen of men continues to decrease. This meant that in 2010. WHO dropped lower standard to 15 million per ml, while a decade ago it amounted to 20 million per ml. In such a situation, any additional disturbance on the male reproductive cells are gaining in importance.

– depending on observation alone does not mean that it is the impurities present in the air residence men may lead to changes in the sperm morphology or in the concentration of testosterone. However, the existence of this correlation confirms the need to take action to quality of the air we breathe – summed up Professor. Hanke.

A large air pollution in many regions of the Polish and of its negative impact on human health is said to be recently more and more rare but stresses that affect it are also individual decisions taken by each of us, eg. as to what we smoke in your own home. To raise awareness in this area the Ministry of Environment has launched a social campaign “We create atmosphere” which educates about air pollution in the country, its sources and health effects, and also about the way in which they can contribute to improving air quality in the shelf.

  China will produce cloned meat on an industrial scale
 
 
 

dogs, cattle, horses racing will in the near future cultured in test tubes. For this purpose, near the north Chinese port of Tianjin built for 30 million euros on the surface of 14 thousand. square meters factory to animal cloning utility. The project is implemented jointly by the Chinese biotech company BoyaLife Group and South Korean company Sooam Biotech. His boss Hwang Woo Suk in 2004 caused a sensation by publishing research on the possibilities of cloning human embryos. Soon, however, the university in Seoul proved that the test results were falsified. Since then, Hwang Woo Suk mainly deals with the cloning of expensive breeds of dogs.

Increasing demand meat

The new cloning technology center created in the technology park, supported financially by local authorities . Partners in the project are the Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Beijing and the International Academy of Biomedicine in Tijanjin. The project has the full support of the Chinese government, because it is convinced that in the face of growing demand for meat in the Middle any ethical issues soon lose its importance. The Chinese consume an average of 5 kg of meat per year. In 1984, consumption per capita amounted to a mere 34 ounces.

The managers are now confident that consumers They persuaded of the cloned beef. According to Xu Xiaochun, head of the supervisory board BoyaLife Group is the tastiest meat they ate so far. In the first year is expected to clone 100 thousand. cattle, in the second year is already planned million.

Advantages of steaks from cloned meat reportedly seen as hand. While in the case of demand for pigmeat Chinese people cover it in large part from our own production, so much beef comes from expensive Western imports. The situation is also critical in the case of milk production. Since 2010. The average Chinese drinks 30 liters of milk per year, ie. Two times more than 5 years ago. According to forecasts, over the next 10 years, consumption is expected to double.

tastier than natural

Researchers Agricultural University in Beijing are convinced that very soon the best steaks will not come from Argentina but just from China. Tamejszym researchers have successfully thanks to experiments in genetics and thanks to cloning technology raise the fat content in meat native cows. In September this year. She calved for the first time by Chinese researchers cloned cow Niu Niu. Thanks to its special gene meat contains more fat and is much tastier.

However, in China rises first a wave of protest. In social media there are critical voices. Critics of cloned meat use the same as in the West, arguments. However, in contrast to the EU, which intends to introduce a ban on the cloning of meat, China is far from that and, given the number of residents who want to eat meat, there could not even afford such a luxury.
