How Does Solar Work? - 1 views

The amount of sunlight that reaches Earth's surface in just more than an hour and a half might provide enough energy for the whole planet for an entire year. These include photovoltaic (PV) panels ...

Michael Lewis: Obama's Way | Vanity Fair, AUTOPILOT - 0 views

  •  
    ""You'll see I wear only gray or blue suits," he said. "I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make." He mentioned research that shows the simple act of making decisions degrades one's ability to make further decisions. It's why shopping is so exhausting. "You need to focus your decision-making energy. You need to routinize yourself. You can't be going through the day distracted by trivia." The self-discipline he believes is required to do the job well comes at a high price. "You can't wander around," he said. "It's much harder to be surprised. You don't have those moments of serendipity."

Gomez-Pinilla: Diabetes 'Metabolic syndrome' in the brain: deficiency in omega-3 fatty ... - 0 views

  •  
    "We provide novel evidence for the effects of metabolic dysfunctions on brain function using the rat model of metabolic syndrome induced by high fructose intake. * We describe that the deleterious consequences of unhealthy dietary habits can be partially counteracted by dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acid. * High sugar consumption impaired cognitive abilities and disrupted insulin signalling by engaging molecules associated with energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity; in turn, the presence of docosahexaenoic acid, an n-3 fatty acid, restored metabolic homeostasis. * These findings expand the concept of metabolic syndrome affecting the brain and provide the mechanistic evidence of how dietary habits can interact to regulate brain functions, which can further alter lifelong susceptibility to the metabolic disorders.

Katharina Schlegel: Biologischer Nanomotor mit Hybridantrieb entdeckt - 0 views

  •  
    "Wie die Forscher in der Fachzeitschrift PNAS berichten, nutzt das Archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans die bei der Methanbildung freiwerdende Energie, um Natriumionen und Protonen aus dem Zellinneren zu pumpen. Damit wird über der Membran ein elektrochemischer Gradient erzeugt, ähnlich dem Aufladen einer Batterie. ATP-Synthasen nutzen nun diesen „Batteriestrom" zur Synthese von ATP. Dazu verfügen sie über eine membrangebundene Turbine. Angetrieben wird sie durch Ionen, die in das Cytoplasma zurückfließenden, ähnlich einer Turbine, die „Wasserkraft" in elektrischen Strom umwandelt.. Volker Müller. „Da M. acetivorans bisher das einzige bekannte Lebewesen ist, das beide Ionengradienten nutzen kann, liegt es nahe, es als Bindeglied der Evolution anzusehen""

Denis Burdakov: Diabetes wissenschaft.de - Das Eiweiß macht´s - 0 views

  •  
    "Um schnell wieder auf Touren zu kommen, gilt für viele Menschen ein zuckerhaltiger Snack als hilfreich, denn er setzt schnell Energie im Körper frei. Das könnte aber genau die falsche Strategie sein, sagt nun ein internationales Forscherteam: Dessen Untersuchungsergebnisse an Mäusen legen nahe, dass die Zufuhr von Kohlenhydraten eher müde macht, wohingegen eiweißhaltige Nahrung anregt und die Verbrennung von Kalorien ankurbelt. Der Studie zufolge liegt das an der Wirkung der Eiweißbausteine auf die sogenannten Orexin-Zellen, die an der Regulation des Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus und des Appetits beteiligt sind. Die neuen Erkenntnisse könnten demzufolge auch wichtige Informationen für das Verständnis von Schlafstörungen und Übergewicht liefern, sagen Denis Burdakov von der University of Cambridge und seine Kollegen.

The Must Have Solar Equipment - 0 views

Due to the increasing cost of electricity bills, I have finally decided to switch to solar energy. Aside from being free, it also helps save mother earth. I must admit that at first I was confused ...

@biogarage Jeremy Lutenbacher: Biosprit: Forscher knacken Pflanzenfasern - @bdw-redaktion - 0 views

  •  
    " Jeremy Luterbacher von der University of Wisconsin-Madison und seine Kollegen berichten nun allerdings von einem neuen Verfahren, das Zellulose offenbar besser knacken kann als alle bisherigen. Der Schlüsselfaktor dabei ist eine Substanz namens Gamma-Valerolacton (GVL). Es handelt sich um einen Wirkstoff, der sich wiederum selbst aus Pflanzengewebe gewinnen lässt - also erneuerbar ist. Er kann Zellulose aus Pflanzenmaterial von Ernterückständen oder sogar aus Holz zu Zucker abbauen"

    "It is rivers, roots, branches, leaves, mycelium, arteries, veins, lungs, neurons and lightning. It is in the temporal evolution of life and technology. It is both spatial and temporal, both biological and non-biological. We call this self-organizing energy-dissipating fractal 'Knowm', and it is everywhere."

Jeremy Minty: Teamwork ist Trumpf - auch beim Biosprit - bild der wissenschaft - 0 views

  •  
    "Ein Weg wäre es daher, einfach Pflanzenabfälle zu nutzen - beispielsweise Stroh, Holzhäcksel oder andere Reste, die bei der Ernte oder der Holzverarbeitung übrig bleiben. "Die Biosynthese von Treibstoffen aus dieser Biomasse ist eine vielversprechende und nachhaltige Alternative zu erdölbasierten Treibstoffen", erklären Jeremy Minty von der University of Michigan in Ann Arbor und seine Kollegen."
