Mimicry is inherited

This noted already Charles Darwin in his book "expression of emotions in people and animals", that left in 1872, but only now Israeli scientists proved that the mimicry of the members of one family has 80- percent similarity.

The group of scientists under the management of the professor of the khayfskogo university Of eviatara of the Nevas studied the special features of the expression of faces of people blind from the generation, whose mimicry does not depend on environment.

Neva and its colleagues conducted interview with the participation of 21 blind and 30 their relatives, who did not suffer blindness. Respondents they asked to recall about any events, which caused the specific emotions, and reaction was written on video. Then the obtained expressions of the persons systematized and subjected to statistical analysis.

It was explained that the expression of faces of blind people coincided with the mimicry of their relatives in 80% of cases with the reaction to the identical situation.

Since the results of a study showed that the mimicry can be transferred by the inheritance, scientists intend to find the genes, critical for its special features.

The "code of da Vinci" drew tourists into Scotland

Scotland obtained 6 million it was pounds sterling profit because of the film the "code of da Vinci". The chapel Of roslin in Midlotiane was key scene of action in the motion-picture film, based on Dan Brown novel.

The agency of the tourism of Scotland VisitScotland was combined with Sony Pictures for the purpose to move in 40 countries of peace those sights, about which it is mentioned in the film.

Advertising material includes the united Web site, named visitdavincicode.com, competitions, television and newspaper advertisement on the kept balance tourist markets, such as THE USA and Germany, and also on the forming markets, such as India, China and Russia. About half million people already visited Web site from May of this year.

After the output of film the chapel Of roslin visited about 160000 tourists, which is five times more than to the output of film. The building of 15 centuries drew 120000 visitors in 2005, 68000 visitors into 2004 and 38000 into 2003.

The flow of tourists, who flow into the village Of roslin in order to visit chapel, led to an increase in the bus communication in this region. However, is communications also about the fans of the "code of da Vinci", who attempt to find under the arches of ancient chapel sacred Graal'.

Some historians criticize Brown for the distortion of a number of facts, including his assertion about the fact that the chapel is built by knights by templars. In reality chapel built sir William of Saint clear, lord roslin, in 1446, more than a century after the last great master of templars was burnt on the post.

Search for photographs by smell

Here uncommon method, as to be oriented among the continuously growing number it is file on your computer, use a sense of smell, writes periodical New Scientist.

The group of scientists from the university of glasgow to Scotland, Great Britain, in chapter with Stephen Brewster created the program and apparatus guarantee, which makes possible to appropriate for the group of images the specific smell: this can be the aroma of the new-mown grass or smelled chocolate. Then system by the name Olfoto makes possible for users to sort images in the collection, relying on its own sense of smell.

Brewster and its associates tested the abilities of volunteers to use a search for digital photographs on the smell. First each of the users appropriated to different images smells, and then attempted to reveal the specific photograph, selecting its aroma.

Researchers attempted to determine, how convenient to the subjects it will prove to be to search for images on the smell in comparison with the search on specific text TEG. Although the sorting on the smell proved to be much more slowly, results nevertheless impress, Brewster says.

"not it is ideal, but people to this are capable, it described - this amazingly and deserves wider application".

In their experiments the researchers used a collection of capsules in the form of the cubes, each of which in the case of activation by electronics emits the specific aroma, identified by the device of radio-frequency determination. With the appearance on the picture screen the user can mark by its specific smell, after presenting the appropriate cube to the wireless counter.

The ability to achieve a search on the smell is not surprising, Brewster speaks, if one considers that the smells are capable of waking up bright recollections. "sense of smell possesses interesting possibilities in so far as concerns the awakening of recollections, it explains. - A if in you on the computer were saved 10 thousand images in 10 years, then as find among them necessary?"

With a study the most varied smells were used: from the aroma it is color and grass to the smell of "sweaty feet" and the characteristic spirit of the cattle yard.

Brewster notes that the majority of people is capable of distinguishing thousands of different aromas, and it assumes that in the course of trainings it is possible to develop the skill to search for on the smell. However, according to him, serious problem remains the creation of those learned it is odor and their effective reproduction. "it cannot be simply taken and created smell, it explains. - now we work at the collection of the aromas, which most be suitable for our purposes ".

Researchers also revealed that the smells, which are contained in the cubes, a little changed on the motion of experiment.

Stephen Boyd- Davis, specialist for the cooperation of man with the computer at the university of the county Of midlseks in Great Britain, say that this study seems strange, but it has prospects. "this is the interesting and little-known region, it commented. - definitely, smells have an effect on man ".

Boyd- Davis is agreeable, that creation and reproduction it is odor it presents complexity. He also indicates that in the course of a study according to program Olfoto it was impossible to establish the difference between the smells, which simply attract attention of man, and by those, which make it possible to identify concrete phenomenon.

Brewster also recognizes, that this is the risky idea and that by some it will be perceived as tomfollery. Nevertheless, it plans to continue the studies, connected with the sense of smell. It works at the new project, which is concerned aromas, whose details thus far are not revealed.

Work was complex, since the mosaics consist of thousands of fine gypsum details with the relief thread and the painting with black and red color on the contour of the lines, which border the depicted figures. Basic theme of these compositions - dragons -ajdarxa, that swallow artiodactyl animals. So in the allegorical form ancient margushtsy illustrated the idea of the fight of good and evil, which was the basis of their philosophical- ethical system.

Of sarianidi he emphasized that the discovered in Margiane unusually realistic topical mosaics, so uncommon in theme and technology of performance, such complex according to figure, are earliest in the world. Until now the mosaics of that old time, created in Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, Egypt, were known to science, but they were ornamental, with the geometric patterns.

Here already 30 years in Turkmenia are achieved study of the ancient country Of margush under the management by Victor sarianidi. They obtained wide reputation because of the unique findings of the works of the skill of the distant ancestors of the Turkmen people

Experts prevent: it is not necessary to throw out the printouts of checks from bankomata. As studies of British firm for computer safety showed, by these sins each third respondent (34%).

Almost half of those interrogated (46%) throw out to the slop-container the documents, where complete information about their bank calculation is contained. But 97% get rid of the old calculations for the public services.

All this can become not bad catch for the swindler: it can order goods from your name, devastate bank calculation or even extract passport to your name.

In Kansas the rare meteorite is discovered

For scientists it was possible to reveal rare meteorite in the wheaten field in the state of Kansas.

For detecting the "space rarity" was used the new, so-called penetrating radar technology, which could be used somewhere... on Mars.

However in order to extract meteorite from the earth, by scientist it was necessary to use very commonplace tools - small brushes and sovochkami. And all this in order to maximally preserve the tracks of the action of the impact of meteorite.

Meteorite Brenham, in the opinion of scientists, encountered with the Earth more than 10 thousand years ago in the epoch of Pleistocene.

According to the director of the division of astronomy of the Houston museum of the natural science Of kerolin Of samners, "possibly, the natives of America saw its drop".

Less than 1% meteorites of those detected on the Earth relate to the type of pallasites. This is the sufficiently rare type of the iron- rock meteorites, which consist of an approximately identical quantity of nikelistogo iron and olivine. Pallasites have the unique internal structure, which indicates that they were formed in the absence of any significant gravitational force. Scientists consider that such meteorites are the fragments of the destroyed small planets or large asteroids.

The most complex detectors of metal in the section of search showed the presence of a certain object, as hoped scientists, desired pallasite. Happiness of scientists is somewhat tarnished, when geo-radar (Ground Penetrating Radar) instead of the meteorite revealed steel cable.

Nevertheless, scientists continued searches, and at the depth more than meter underground was discovered precisely meteorite, by weight about 70 kilograms.

Technology GPR was used earlier for detecting the meteorites in Antarctica, where it makes possible for sound signal to penetrate ice to significant depths, and to obtain the precise exploded view of the object of that being being located even is deep underground. Scientists are intended to use similar geo-radars for detecting of meteorites or water on Mars.

Journey to the nuclear war via the Swiss tunnel

For 30 years, the tourists, who are guided for the south for Italy through the tunnel Of zonnenberg, a concept did not have, that they pass one of the nuclear bunkers largest in the world.
Swiss authorities ever could not be accused of the fact that they seriously did not relate to the threat of nuclear war. But now they shut the large part of this terrible municipal refuge within the framework of the reconsideration of the threat of national security.

"extraordinary scenario is now different from that, which it would be possible to expect in the period" the Cold War ", notes guide Giulia Meir.

The major issue Of zonnenberga consists in the fact that for the preparation of this tunnel- bunker as the safety zone for 20.000 local residents is required about two weeks. And still there... are not shut doors.

Closing tunnel- bunker - this is the part of the overestimation of the defense priorities of Switzerland: from the relatively precise factors of the period of the "Cold War" to the unpredictable threats of terrorism and natural calamities, counts the representative of the ministry of civil defense Pascal Ebisher.

In 1960- e years at the heighth of nuclear race Switzerland accepted the law, in accordance with which. Each inhabitant of the country was obligated to obtain vengeance in the refuge in the case of the beginning of nuclear war.
The authority of lucerne, located on the foot of the Alps, sochli, that for these purposes in the city too little place solved the problems due to the use of new automobile tunnels on the main tourist route from Germany to Italy. Basic bunker they placed under Zonnenberg mountain on the edge of city.

The shelter years built in 1970- e, it was connected with two new tunnels, creating for the mountain something like the virtual city, equipped with the system of the filtration of air, by control center, the prison and the hospital to 350 cots.

The authorities of lucerne now solved, that this gigantic means of protection (probably, the largest in Europe) no longer has sense its capacity they will bring to 2.000 people, who in the case of threat can be placed in the command center. Thus, it will be possible to substantially reduce the expenditures for the maintenance of complex, which yearly bypassed urban treasury into 500.000 Swiss francs (400.000 dollars).

The adapted to stage idea "miss Tibet" passes already fifth time, it draws the handful of participants, but is caused a large quantity of disputes. In this year in the competition participated the inhabitant of Toronto, two students from India and one of Nepal.

It is not surprising that the competition causes irritation in the Chinese authorities, which check Tibet since 1955, since the competition attracts attention to the problem of Tibetan refugees.

Previous "miss Tibet" was forced to leave the elimination stages of the competition of the "miss of peace" in Zimbabwe and Malaysia in the past year as a result of the protest of Chinese authorities.
