Work in night hours of twenty-four hours and disruption of the work of internal biological it is hour they lead to the essential reduction of life. To this conclusion came the scientists from the university Of virzhinii, after conducting experiment on the mice.

They divided downy little beasts into three groups. For one sleep periods it was displaced to six it was hour forward, for the second on so many back. The biological clock of the third group left without any changes.

Scientists were several astonished, when in the course of several months died 32% of mice, that entered into the first group. However, an even larger surprise awaited biologists, when they revealed that for the same interval of time the second group was reduced by 53%. In this case among the mice, that slept and worked in the common for them time, perished only 17% of animals.

Scientists say that they cannot accurately determine the reason for this influence of the disturbance of biological time on the lifetime; however, the results of a study speak they themselves for itself. possibly, reason consists in deficiency in the sleep or nekoyem defeat of immune system, are assumed specialists.

Nuclear energy will free the world from the dirty future

The reduction of the ejection of the gas, which produces greenhouse effect, unavoidably will lead to an increase in the price of the electricity, and this will in turn become the reason for the fact that the atomic power plants will become economically more viable. This statement made today the prime minister of Australia John Howard.

According to Howard, the cost of cleaning coal makes WITH AES, undoubtedly, more viable after the report TO UNITED NATIONS supported the use of a fuel for the nuclear fission chain reaction.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, which comes out as the political of the advisers of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD - ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT), warned that without the nuclear energy of the country of peace it awaits "dirty, dangerous and expensive" future, especially because the prices of the oil steadily grow.

In the report TO OECD - ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT is contained the forecast about the fact that the demand in the world for the electric power will be grow, in the subsequent 25 years it will increase more than by 50 percent. As far as AES is concerned, they can soak reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and become the reliable source of electricity.

Phenomenon of the human communication

A joint study of Harvard and Stanford University showed that the children 5-7- mi of years prefer to associate with the lucky and happy people, but not with the unlucky wretches. This phenomenon makes it possible to explain the special feature of human contact and the laws of the formation of social groups.

On one of the stages of experience to children they proposed to participate in the "drawing" of ten scenarios of contact with the adult. Child evaluated the adult actors, who developed their role - both positive and negative. As it proved to be, adult, which not through your fault burn into the heavy situation (for example, on the scenario, they became victims of the natural disaster) caused less sympathy than those, who "voluntarily" acted badly (for example, it rejected to entrust to child candy). Thus, experimental children demonstrated their ability to distinguish lucky people from the unlucky wretches and showed that the unlucky wretches cause in them the smallest sympathy.

Data of study are published in periodical Psychological Science.

Specifically, this language is native for many descendants from Pakistan and India of those living in misty Al'bione.

In the original in the advertising leaf it is written, that "never jump from the windows, without having placed pillow in order although to any secure itself from the injuries", in the text on urdu picture is somewhat different: "never jump from the windows, without having preliminarily placed itself into the donkey".

British scientists are intended to scrape man with the cow

British scientists request in the authorities permission to the creation of embryo from the egg cell of cow, into which will be placed human DNA.

Researchers from the university of Newcastle and royal college to London turned themselves into control according to fertilization and embryologies of Great Britain with the request to grant license for conducting of experiments and storage of cells to them.

Scientists would want to use the obtained hybrids for studying stem cells, they are not collected to give to embryo to be developed more several days.

But many political and public workers consider similar experiments as those contradicting ethics and potentially dangerous for the society.

The basic problem of geneticists remains the shortage of the human egg cells, for obtaining which is necessary the agreement of woman- donors to the surgical intervention. Stem cells necessary for the experiment can to extract on the sixth day of the development of embryo, after which genetic material is destroyed. This reason impelled scientists to turn for the permission.

Embryo must be created on the same principle as the cloned sheep of dollies, it to 99.9% is only human. From the egg cell of burenki is moved away entire genetic material, after which into it it is placed BY DNA of man.

The study of stem cells is one of the most urgent and promising trends in the contemporary science. The cells, on basis of which it is possible to grow any tissue of organisms, in the opinion of scientists, will be able soak in the treatment of such illnesses as Alzheimer and Parkinson.
