Sea monsters may still exist?

From the giant Kraken sea snakes, horrible creatures from the depths of the sea haunted the imagination of generations of seamen. Now experts say that such sea monsters might actually exist.

"Scientists are inventing new kinds of marine life, so it is impossible to find among them and such a monster," said Dr. Darren Nash of the British University of Portsmouth.

In truth, most cases of allegedly seen previously unknown sea monsters is actually false. However, at least a number of encounters with such creatures are reputable biologists reported, so their existence is not impossible, says Dr. Nash.

Thus, the 1905th Mid zoologists Edmund Waldo and Michael Nicole saw a strange "sea snake" on the coast of Brazil.

In August, the 1848th the crew of the British Royal Navy in the South Atlantic noticed a creature 18 feet long. At that time, biologists thought that London was probably an elephant or even a sea canoe wrong.

Since the last few years large numbers of new species of whales and sharks, it is not impossible that some great sea creature waiting for its moment.

Some experts have suggested that today's monsters can be plesiosaurusi, long-necked marine reptiles that lived during the dinosaur.

This theory is refuted Dr. Charles Pakston.

"If prehistoric animals living today, it means that we have misinterpreted all the fossils discovered so far," he said, adding that this does not mean that all the great sea creatures discovered.

Eight large marine species discovered in the last 20 years.

However, the search for creatures whose existence is not proven and still not subsided.

Discovered the largest water mass in the universe

An international team of astronomers recently discovered a real "reservoir" of water in the universe that is 100,000 times the mass of the Sun. Water is about a distant quasar 12 billion light years.
This quasar (quasi-stellar radio source quasi-stellar radio source) or the cosmological source of electromagnetic radiation, is limited only by the amount of water that surrounds it, but also by the amount of energy emitted - it is equal to the energy emitted 1,000 billion Suns - comes from a supermassive black hole in the center of quasars.
Water is found in the gaseous state and is unusually hot and dense, so it caused quite a sensation among researchers, astronomers and scientists. "This discovery is so exciting," said one of the astronomers who discovered the quasar. "Not only do we find water in space so far, but it has enough to fill the oceans on Earth more than 100 billion times."
Most water in our galaxy is frozen and can be found only in certain regions, unlike the aforementioned water around quasars, which extends thousands of light years around.
The discovery was made spectrograph Z-Spec, which uses millimeter wavelength (between infrared and microwave rays), and is located in the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory in Hawaii. The spectrograph detectors are cooled to 0.06 degrees above absolute zero to allow for superior sensitivity required for such measurements.
This finding emphasizes the importance of millimeter or submilimeter frequency band for astronomy, which in the past two or three decades are increasingly used for observation. Astronomers are currently working on the construction of 25-meter telescope that will be placed in the Chilean Atacama desert. With its help, you will discover some of the earliest galaxies in the universe and measure the concentration of water and other gases. For example, the discovery of quasars away 12 billion light years will enable scientists because of the relatively slow speed of light to see how the universe looked like after 1.6 billion years since its inception.

Discovered fossil of a prehistoric reptile

Discovered a rare fossil of a prehistoric aquatic reptile, which probably represents the most complete skeleton of beings found in the area of North America, said University of Alaska Museum North in Fairbanks.

Scientists at the Alaska discovered a fossil of a rare prehistoric aquatic reptile, which probably represents the most complete skeleton of beings found in the area of North America, said the North Museum (Museum of the North), University of Alaska Fairbanks in.

Nearly complete skeleton belongs thalattosaur - long tail sea creature, inhabiting the warm shallow water in the early age of the dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Triassic, 200 million years ago.

The fossil was discovered during extreme low tides along the coast Tongas National Forest (Tongas National Forest), officials said.

Most of the discoveries of fossil remains in the form of talatosaurusa individual bones or fragments of bones, while the new found fossil is an almost complete skeleton.

Scientists have unearthed the fossils of the June and is now being questioned to determine whether it is an unknown type, since that is the world so far discovered 12 copies talatosaurusa.

Geologist Jim Baićtal believes that it is likely that this is an unknown species.

"The fossil, which resembles a large lizard, found in southeast Alaska, while the previous talatosaurusa remains discovered in British Columbia, Canada, Nevada, in the Alps, although the best were found in China," he said.

Part of the fossils found in the North there is a museum, and experts estimate that the entire skeleton length between one and three meters, with a third of his body is the tail.

It is interesting that the skeleton can be seen the remains of soft tissue, which is extremely rare and can greatly help in discovering how the reptile looked like.
 
Scientists would later dig up the rest of the fossils that are still in the rock and hope to find a skull.

"Google" has developed new services

"Google" has developed new services that analyze Web pages and rewrite their code in order to quickly retrieve and receive better service to its servers.

To use the service to speed up page PS (Page Speed ​​Service), users should register and tell "Google" on the Internet at the location where they are. Service takes the content pages, optimizes it for faster operation and returned to the user.

Visitors can access the site as before, but it will perceive the acceleration from 25 to 60 percent, announced the "Google".

The service is now offered free to a limited number of hand-selected Web page administrator, but will be charged in the future.

Prices and other details, "Google" will be published later.

"Google" has a number of products and projects for faster viewing of their own and others' Web pages, because the company believes that it is better for everyone, since the years of trials found that even small improvements in performance greatly increase their use.

Infection lab on a chip

A group of U.S. scientists from universities, "Colombia" has developed a "lab on a chip" - "mChip" that allows the detection of the AIDS virus, syphilis and other infectious diseases with the same reliability provided by hospital laboratories and expensive, according to a study published in the medical journal "Nature Medicine".

Scientists have come up with this result, doing the testing prototypes of the new "bio-chip" the size of bank cards in several hundred patients in Rwanda, scoring accuracy of diagnosis of disease of 100 per cent, reports AFP.

Laboratory "mChip" performed blood tests on an electronic chip, whose production cost should not exceed a dollar per piece.

In this way only in a blood sample revealed various proteins characteristic of certain diseases

This could be a solution in the near future for patients in the poorest parts of the world.

Known genetic causes of schizophrenia

Mutations of certain genes in people who do not exist in their families, "de novo" mutations are present in people with schizophrenia than in healthy, according to a research group of scientists from the French Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) published in the scientific magazine Nature Genetics.

Scientists have come up with this result, the group doing the testing of patients with schizophrenia and their parents, brought a French media.

We analyzed approximately 20 thousand genes of each of the research participants.

In this way, they discovered a new gene mutations that were not previously associated with schizophrenia, a disease from which, according to the World Health Organization, suffers about 24 million people in the world.

Russians launched the largest space telescope

While the Chinese are slowly being completed construction of the largest terrestrial radio telescopes, the Russians after decades of planning and preparation made ​​a radio telescope that will be because they will work in the universe have an effective size of the antenna thirty times greater than the diameter of our planet ...

The Russian radio astronomer named telescope was launched from Baikonur on Monday. As for making large telescope on Earth receivers usually used to connect multiple observatories into a larger network that effectively provides a much higher resolution, this will work for about the space associated with ground radio telescopes and will be the largest telescope ever built. His resolution will be ten thousand times better than that of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Large and highly variable orbital path (which will be for five years because of the duration of the effects of gravity to elongate the moon 390,000 kilometers), along with powerful computers on Earth, will allow Russian scientists to obtain images of distant galaxies at very high resolution. Radio astronomer will be able to count on the celestial objects separated by an angle of only seven micro-arc seconds, which is 10,000 better than Hubble resolution.

Scientists from the Astronomical Institute Lebedev Physical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which managed the mission, hope to be with him, among other things, be able to peek into the event horizon of a black hole at the center of the galaxy M87 and study pulsars and radio waves emitted by water masers (molecular clouds water contained in the discs of galaxies).
