Mercury

Mercury has had a visit from a SPACE 1974. If a couple of years reaching probes Messenger and BepiColombo to the planet. Even now, we know, however, that Mercury's surface is old and it is filled with craters. The planet has the largest mass of all planets in the solar system. The large mass suggests that the planet is made up of elements such as iron and nickel.

Nasa identify plankton

Phytoplankton can be found in nearly all marine ecosystems. They are the main food for large plankton to fish and shellfish. Phytoplankton is also half of the world's entire photo synthetic activity. 

Researchers are now using satellite images made a global analysis of these phytoplankton presence. Oceanologer has measured the amount of fluorescent red light emitting phytoplankton and thus analyzed how efficiently they convert sunlight and nutrients into food through photosynthesis.The reason that NASA now mapping these phytoplankton is that they, inter alia, affects the amount of carbon dioxide the oceans can take up and how the oceans respond to climate change.

Robots ask each other for help

Research and development of robots is making progress by leaps, and industrial robots, for example, more and more advanced. But still many problems to be resolved - for example to make robots more independent of human beings. Instead of sending a message to a human operator would a robot be able to ask for help from other robots. And it is precisely such robots developed at Örebro University.

My research is an important step in getting robots to be aware of each other and themselves to think about how they can help each other, "said Robert Lundh at Örebro University.

Lundh thesis is that robots should not give up if they encounter a problem, but to get help from other robots, for example, if the need help to determine where exactly it is in relation to other objects.

Robert Lundh robot count yourself out how to solve a task that it has received, by checking on what other robots that are nearby and what help it can get of their peers.

Robots are becoming increasingly common in our daily lives and therefore, says Lundh, it is important that the robots can cooperate with each other.

RoboCup 2004: Robot Soccer World Cup VIII

This book constitutes the eight official archival publication devoted to RoboCup. It documents the achivements presented at the RoboCup 2004 Symposium, held in Lisbon, Portugal in June / July 2004 in conjunction with the RoboCup Competition.

The 36 revised full papers and 26 revised short papers presented together with 2 award winning papers and an introductory overview went through two rounds of reviewing and post-symposium improvements and were selected from 118 paper submissions. The book is a valuable source of reference and inspiration for R & D professionals active or interested in robotics, distributed artificial intelligence, and it is mandatory reading for the rapidly growing RoboCup community.

The experts determined that aircraft noise affected the health of neighbors Gavà

Institute of Legal Medicine of Catalonia determined that high levels of noise neighbors had to endure Gavà Sea by the activity of the airport between 2004 and 2005 caused them health problems physical, psychological and hearing. Continue reading the arículo.

3 The court of El Prat de Llobregat commissioned diligence to assess whether this ill health accredited by the residents in different clinical reports related to noise from aircraft. 

These reports, conducted by specialists and doctors, certified anxiety disorders, insomnia and loss of hearing in the case of adults, and irritability, anxiety, stress and sleep disorder, for school students All these symptoms "consistent" with those produced by prolonged exposure to loud noise, say forensic scientists. 

According to the report, the documentation provided by the court shows that there were "multiple measurements of noise in excess of those permitted between November 2004 and November 2005 with the launch of the third runway of the airport. This leads to the conclusion that "there is a causal link between the emission of noise and the symptoms presented by the population." 

The Neighborhood Association Gavà Mar assessed "positively" to this report "makes clear that the third runway meant serious health problems to neighbors." The president of the entity, Elisabet Martinez lamented that "Aena warned that there would be problems before they opened the third runway and we were not heeded, and now is demonstrated."
