			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28222" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Copia-di-vulcano.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="318" /> E&#8217; stato pubblicato on – line sulla rivista internazionale Tectonophysics, un  articolo dal titolo Relocation and focal mechanisms of earthquakes in the south-central sector of the Aeolian Archipelago: New structural and volcanological insights a cura di Salvatore Gambino, Vincenzo Milluzzo, Antonio Scaltrito e Luciano Scarfì. Nella ricerca sono  state effettuate localizzazioni precise di terremoti avvenuti tra il 1993 e il 2010 in un’area comprendente Vulcano, Lipari, Salina e Filicudi.Il lavoro delinea la geometria di diverse strutture sismogenetiche attive, una delle quali orientata NE-SW e profonda 3-8 km, che interessa il settore settentrionale dell&#8217;isola di Vulcano. Tale struttura per la sua posizione e profondità può rappresentare un collegamento tra due volumi di stoccaggio magmatico, posti a 3-5 km e 7.8-13.5 km, riconosciuti in precedenza (*) attraverso studi petrologici e geofisici. Questa struttura potrebbe quindi rappresentare un percorso preferenziale per la risalita magmatica. Come si legano le strutture sismogenetiche da voi individuate con il  vulcanismo dell’isola? Lo chiediamo a Salvatore Gambino, primo firmatario dell’articolo scientifico.“Innanzitutto, dice il geologo Gambino,  c’è un legame spaziale: il riconoscimento di una struttura sismogenetica che attraversa</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28223" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vulcano1.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="344" />Vulcano in prossimità di Vulcanello (ultima eruzione nel 1550) ad una profondità tale da interferire con i sistemi più superficiali di magma storage ipotizzati è già un elemento di rilievo. Inoltre Vulcano si trova in uno stato di quiescenza che è interrotto periodicamente da &#8220;crisi&#8221; cioè da anomalie nelle temperature e composizione chimica delle fumarole. In diversi casi le “crisi” sono state precedute da sequenze sismiche che si localizzano lungo la struttura da noi individuata e questo fatto suggerisce una relazione tra dinamica della struttura ed evoluzione dei fenomeni vulcanici.I vostri studi ci aiutano a capire come potrebbe esplicarsi un’eventuale ripresa dell’attività? La sismicità che si registra nel settore nord di Vulcano è piuttosto bassa e costituita da pochi eventi l’anno di magnitudo non superiore a 2.6. Un’anomalia in termini di numero di eventi e magnitudo segnalerebbe un incremento della dinamica lungo la struttura che potrebbe favorire la risalita del magma. &#8211;  (*)Peccerillo A., Frezzotti, M.L., De Astis, G., Ventura, G., 2006.

<p style="text-align: justify;">New super-Earth detected within the habitable zone of a nearby cool star. Washington, D.C.— An international team of scientists led by Carnegie’s Guillem Anglada-Escudé and Paul Butler has discovered a potentially habitable super-Earth orbiting a nearby star. The star is a member of a triple star system and has a different makeup than our Sun, being relatively lacking in metallic elements. This discovery demonstrates that habitable planets could form in a greater variety of environments than previously believed. Their work will be published by The Astrophysical Journal Letters and the current version of the manuscript will be posted at http://arxiv.org/archive/astro-ph. The team used public data from the European Southern Observatory and analyzed it with a novel data analysis method. They also</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Click-to-enlarge.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29018" title="&gt;Click to enlarge&lt; Comparison of habitable planets" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Click-to-enlarge-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="170" /></a>incorporated new measurements from the Keck Observatory’s High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph and the new Carnegie Planet Finder Spectrograph at the Magellan II Telescope.Their planet-finding technique involved measuring the small wobbles in a star’s orbit in response to a planet’s gravity. Anglada-Escudé and his team focused on an M-class dwarf star called GJ 667C, which is 22 light years away. It is a member of a triple-star system. The other two stars (GJ 667AB) are a pair of orange K dwarfs, with a concentration of heavy elements only 25% that of our Sun’s. Such elements are the building blocks of terrestrial planets so it was thought to be unusual for metal-depleted star systems to have an abundance of low mass planets. GJ 667C had previously been observed to have a super-Earth (GJ 667Cb) with a period of 7.2 days, although this finding was never published. This orbit is too tight, and thus hot, to support life. The new study started with the aim of obtaining the orbital parameters of this super-Earth. But in addition to this first candidate, the research team found the clear signal of a new</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-29019" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/contadini-alieni.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="378" />planet (GJ 667Cc) with an orbital period of 28.15 days and a minimum mass of 4.5 times that of Earth. The new planet receives 90% of the light that Earth receives. However, because most of its incoming light is in the infrared, a higher percentage of this incoming energy should be absorbed by the planet. When both these effects are taken into account, the planet is expected to absorb about the same amount of energy from its star that the Earth absorbs from the Sun. This would allow surface temperatures similar to Earth and perhaps liquid water, but this extreme cannot be confirmed without further information on the planet&#8217;s atmosphere. “This planet is the new best candidate to support liquid water and, perhaps, life as we know it,” Anglada-Escudé said. The team notes that the system might also contain a gas-giant planet and an additional super-Earth with an orbital period of 75 days. However, further observations are needed to confirm these two possibilities. “With the advent of a new generation of instruments, researchers will be able to survey many M dwarf stars for similar planets and eventually look for spectroscopic signatures of life in one of these worlds.” Anglada-Escudé was with Carnegie when he conducted the research, but has since moved on to University of Gottingen. His co-authors are Carnegie’s Butler, Jeffrey D. Crane, Stephen A. Shectman, and Ian B. Thompson; Pamela Arriagada and Dante Minniti of Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; Steve Vogt and Eugenio J. Rivera</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">Maltempo. Appello dell’enpa ai sindaci: «ordinanze per vietare di tenere cani alla catena»: In considerazione della eccezionalità dell’evento meteo che si sta verificando in queste ore e che sta provocando abbondanti nevicate, l’Enpa chiede ai Sindaci delle città italiane più colpite dal gelo di emanare ordinanze con il divieto di tenere i cani legati alla catena. «Come testimoniano i numerosi interventi di soccorso posti in essere dalle nostre Sezioni, la situazione è davvero critica: moltissimi animali rischiano di soccombere al freddo. Non si tratta soltanto degli animali selvatici ma anche di quelli domestici», spiega l’Enpa che prosegue: «Per questo, come già proposto da alcune nostre sedi locali, tra cui quella di Bergamo, ci appelliamo al buon senso dei Sindaci affinché vietino, almeno fino a quando le condizioni del tempo non miglioreranno, di tenere i cani legati alla catena, esposti al freddo e alla neve con grave pericolo per la loro incolumità.»</span></p>

A Savona la Protezione Animali sta assistendo un gattino trovato da alcuni ragazzi semiassiderato a Stella Corona (Savona). Lavorano a pieno ritmo anche le Guardie Zoofile dell’Enpa di Caserta che stanno distribuendo foraggio e mangimi agli animali da reddito rimasti isolati nelle località di montagna della provincia. A Reggio Emilia, invece, il presidente della locale Sezione </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">Enpa, Stella Borghi, ha sollecitato l’intervento del Corpo Forestale dello Stato per soccorrere un pastore tedesco di cinque anni abbandonato dal suo proprietario nel cortile di una casa colonica. Il cane, come è stato poi scoperto dagli agenti, era stato lasciato al freddo, senza cure – non aveva cibo e l’acqua della ciotola era completamente ghiacciata – per almeno due giorni. Identificato grazie al microchip, il quattrozampe è stato sequestrato e </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">affidato alle cure di una struttura di ricovero. Il proprietario sarà denunciato per maltrattamento e abbandono di animali. Purtroppo, a breve non è previsto un miglioramento delle condizioni meteo; per questo l’Enpa invita le autorità locali e i proprietari di animali – domestici e da reddito – a tenere in </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">particolare considerazione le esigenze dei loro ”amici”. Maltempo, l’enpa: «mobilitate le nostre strutture»: La forte ondata di maltempo che</span></p>

Particolarmente a rischio i “trovatelli” e gli animali selvatici, i quali devono fare i conti non solo con le cattive condizioni meteo ma anche con l’incremento del fabbisogno calorico giornaliero, tipico dei mesi invernali. Di fronte all’emergenza meteo, come in altre situazioni critiche che hanno colpito il territorio italiano, l’Enpa ha mobilitato le sue strutture locali, allo scopo di soccorrere, curare, ospitare e assistere gli animali in difficoltà. La Protezione Animali ha anche allestito nidi artificiali dove i volatili possono ripararsi dal freddo e creato punti di approvvigionamento alimentare all’interno dei boschi e delle campagne. Anche i singoli cittadini hanno la possibilità, con un piccolo impegno, di salvare le vite di moltissimi animali. Come? Creando a loro volta delle piccole zone per la somministrazione del cibo nei giardini privati e condominiali – l’Enpa suggerisce di prestare attenzione a non arrecare disturbo ai vicini – oppure depositando nei boschi ortaggi e tuberi, alimenti utilissimi per nutrire cinghiali, daini e caprioli. In questo modo gli animali non solo vengono nutriti, ma sono anche tenuti lontani dalle zone coltivate o dagli abitati cittadini”. Particolare attenzione infine agli animali domestici che devono assolutamente avere a disposizione uno spazio caldo e riparato. L’Enpa, inoltre, sollecita istituzioni e Protezione Civile a considerare, in questo momento di crisi, anche le esigenze degli animali.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Realizzato dall’Ino-Cnr, insieme all’Università e alla Scuola Normale di Pisa, il controllo ` ‘perfetto’ nel mondo dei quanti. Questo processo ‘superadiabatico’, veloce e resistente alle perturbazioni esterne, è importante per tecnologie attuali come la risonanza magnetica e per applicazioni future nell’ambito dei ‘supercomputer’ quantistici. Un gruppo di ricercatori pisani dell’Istituto nazionale di ottica del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (Ino-Cnr) dell’Università e del Nest della Scuola Normale ha sviluppato delle tecniche per rendere ancora più efficiente e veloce il controllo di sistemi che possono essere studiati con la fisica quantistica, come molecole, atomi e particelle. La ricerca è stata recentemente pubblicata sulla rivista Nature Physics. “Un cameriere che deve</span></p>

Una tecnica utile in tal senso è ispirata proprio al problema del cameriere. “Una possibile strategia sarebbe portare il vassoio molto lentamente, tenendolo rigorosamente orizzontale in modo da non agitare le bibite, ma un bravo cameriere inclinerà il vassoio in maniera opportuna mentre cammina a passo sostenuto”, prosegue Morsch. “Nel linguaggio della fisica quantistica, il primo approccio si chiama ‘adiabatico’ e consiste nell’effettuare il controllo dell’oggetto molto lentamente. Il secondo, chiamato‘superadiabatico’, permette invece di accelerare il controllo in modo considerevole”. <span> </span>Realizzando tali protocolli in un sistema<span>  </span>modello, composto da un gas di atomi molto freddi dentro dei cristalli artificiali<span>  </span>prodotti con la luce laser, i ricercatori di Pisa hanno dimostrato da un lato che la strategia del ‘bravo cameriere’ può essere applicata al mondo quantistico e </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">dall’altro che essa non viene alterata da</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-29008" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/uomo-quantico.gif" alt="" width="340" height="411" /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">eventuali variazioni del percorso. “Tale caratteristica è cruciale in applicazioni realistiche della fisica quantistica, visto che gli stati quantistici, cioè le rappresentazioni matematiche di un sistema quantistico come un atomo o una molecola, sono molto fragili e vengono facilmente </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">perturbati da campi elettrici o magnetici presenti praticamente ovunque”, afferma il ricercatore Ino-Cnr. “La realizzazione sperimentale di protocolli superadiabatici, quindi, è un passo importante nella ricerca del miglior controllo quantistico possibile”. La scoperta potrebbe avere ricadute innovative e di grande importanza in vari rami della fisica: “Per esempio, nella risonanza magnetica bisogna controllare la direzione in cui punta lo spin nucleare delle molecole, che serve a descrivere lo stato delle particelle che costituiscono il nucleo dell’atomo ed è paragonabile all’ago magnetico di una bussola”, conclude Morsch<a name="_GoBack"></a>. “Nelle tecnologie informatiche del futuro, invece, tali spin potranno essere utilizzati per creare dei bits quantistici, detti ‘qubits’, ovvero le unità d’informazione dei computer quantistici (mentre i bit sono le unità d’informazione dei computer classici), che permetteranno di fare calcoli complessi in tempi molto più rapidi di quelli raggiungibili con i computer di oggi”.

<p style="text-align: justify;">SFO Opens First of Its Kind &#8220;Yoga Room&#8221; in T2. Post-Security Facility Will Allow Passengers to Relax and Reflect. Officials from San Francisco International Airport announced today the opening of the first of its kind Yoga Room in the Airport’s recently refurbished Terminal 2. The room, located just past the security checkpoint and adjacent to the Recompose Area, affords visitors the opportunity to easily step into a space devoted to contemplation and self-reflection. “When we began to remodel Terminal 2, one of our goals was not just to bring the glamour back to air travel, but to also make the entire experience less stressful and more enjoyable,” said Airport Director John L. Martin. “With the opening of the Yoga Room, SFO has taken another giant leap forward in providing our travelers the opportunity and space to relax and decompress on their own terms.” Drawing inspiration from contemporary color and light artists, the</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-29004" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/YOGA3.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="348" />architects of Terminal 2, Gensler, designed a room enveloped in a calming blue color. A floating wall symbolizes a buoyant spirit and enlightened mind. Large, felt-constructed rocks (to be installed later this Spring) will be arranged throughout in a nod to the Zen garden spaces of the Japanese tradition. Light levels are set low and warm in juxtaposition to the bright, light filled concourse. Gensler Design Director Melissa Mizell explains, “Throughout the terminal, Gensler’s design aims to elevate the passenger experience. The Yoga Room gives modern travelers a space that fosters and supports quiet and reflection.  Those aren’t emotions that people typically encounter at the airport.” To assist travelers, the Airport placed on all directional signs that indicate the location of the Yoga Room using a unique pictogram of a stylized image of a person in the Lotus position. About San Francisco International Airport; San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offers non-stop links with more than 31 international points on 29 international carriers. The Bay Area&#8217;s largest airport connects non-stop with more than 69 cities in the U.S. on 20 domestic airlines.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Hubble Observes NGC 1073. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1073, which is found in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a similar barred spiral, and the study of galaxies such as NGC 1073 helps astronomers learn more about our celestial home. Most spiral galaxies in the Universe have a bar structure in their centre, and Hubble’s image of NGC 1073 offers a particularly clear view of one of these. Galaxies’ star-filled bars are thought to emerge as gravitational density waves funnel gas toward the galactic</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Wide-field-view-of-NGC-1073-and-its-surroundings-ground-based-image.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29000" title="&gt;Click to enlarge&lt; Wide-field view of NGC 1073 and its surroundings (ground-based image). This image from a ground-based telescope shows the location of and region surrounding NGC 1073. Several other galaxies are also visible here, most obviously NGC 1055, seen side-on, and Messier 77, seen face-on, both near the bottom of the frame.

The transport of gas can also feed the supermassive black holes that lurk in the centres of almost every galaxy. Some astronomers have suggested that the formation of a central bar-like structure might signal a spiral galaxy&#8217;s passage from intense star-formation into adulthood, as the bars turn up more often in galaxies full of older, red stars than younger, blue stars. This storyline would also account for the observation that in the early Universe, only around a fifth of spiral galaxies contained bars, while more than two thirds do in the more modern cosmos. While Hubble’s image of NGC 1073 is in some respects an archetypal portrait of a barred spiral, there are a couple of quirks worth pointing out. One, ironically, is almost — but not quite — invisible to optical telescopes like Hubble. In the upper left part of the image, a rough ring-like structure of recent star formation hides a bright source of X-rays. Called IXO 5, this X-ray source is likely to be a binary system featuring a black hole and a star orbiting each other. Comparing X-ray observations from the Chandra spacecraft with this Hubble image, astronomers have narrowed the position of IXO 5 down to one of two faint stars visible</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/The-Hubble-Space-Telescope-in-orbit.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29001" title="&gt;Click to enlarge&lt; The Hubble Space Telescope in orbit.

However, X-ray observations with current instruments are not precise enough to conclusively determine which of the two it is. Hubble’s image does not only tell us about a galaxy in our own cosmic neighbourhood, however. We can also discern glimpses of objects much further away, whose light tells us about earlier eras in cosmic history. Right across Hubble’s field of view, more distant galaxies are peering through NGC 1073, with several reddish examples appearing clearly in the top left part of the frame. More intriguing still, three of the bright points of light in this image are neither foreground stars from the Milky Way, nor even distant stars in NGC 1073. In fact they are not stars at all. They are quasars, incredibly bright sources of light caused by matter heating up and falling into supermassive black holes in galaxies literally billions of light-years from us. The chance alignment through NGC 1073, and their incredible brightness, might make them look like they are part of the galaxy, but they are in fact some of the most distant objects observable in the Universe.Notes: The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA. Image credit: NASA &amp; ESA.  Contacts: <em><a href="mailto: ousher@eso.org" target="_blank">Oli Usher</a></em>,  Hubble/ESA Garching, Germany. News from: ESA European Space Agency / Hubble Information Centre</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28993" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ragazza-nuvole.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="424" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Scientists decode brain waves to eavesdrop on what we hear. Neuroscientists may one day be able to hear the imagined speech of a patient unable to speak due to stroke or paralysis, according to University of California, Berkeley, researchers. These scientists have succeeded in decoding electrical activity in the brain’s temporal lobe – the seat of the auditory system – as a person listens to normal conversation. Based on this correlation between sound and brain activity, they then were able to predict the words the person had heard solely from the temporal lobe activity. “This research is based on sounds a person actually hears, but to use it for reconstructing imagined conversations, these principles would have to apply to someone’s internal verbalizations,” cautioned first author Brian N. Pasley, a post-doctoral researcher in the center. “There is some evidence that hearing the sound and imagining the sound activate similar areas of the brain. If you can understand the relationship well enough between the brain recordings and sound, you could either synthesize the actual sound a person is thinking, or just write out</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28994" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ragazza-nuvole2.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="375" />the words with a type of interface device.” “This is huge for patients who have damage to their speech mechanisms because of a stroke or Lou Gehrig’s disease and can’t speak,” said co-author Robert Knight, a UC Berkeley professor of psychology and neuroscience. “If you could eventually reconstruct imagined conversations from brain activity, thousands of people could benefit.” In addition to the potential for expanding the communication ability of the severely disabled, he noted, the research also “is telling us a lot about how the brain in normal people represents and processes speech sounds.” Pasley and his colleagues at UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco, University of Maryland and The Johns Hopkins University report their findings Jan. 31 in the open-access journal PLoS Biology. Help from epilepsy patients; They enlisted the help of people undergoing brain surgery to determine the location of intractable seizures so that the area can be removed in a second surgery. Neurosurgeons typically cut a hole in the skull and safely place electrodes on the brain surface or cortex – in this case, up to 256 electrodes covering the temporal lobe – to record activity over a period of a week to pinpoint the seizures. For this study, 15 neurosurgical patients volunteered to participate. Pasley visited each person in the hospital to record the brain activity detected by the electrodes as they heard 5-10 minutes of conversation. Pasley used this data to reconstruct and play back the sounds the patients heard. He was able to do this because there is evidence that the brain breaks down sound into its component acoustic frequencies – for example, between a low of about 1 Hertz (cycles per second) to a high of about 8,000 Hertz –that are important for speech sounds. Pasley tested two different</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28995" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ragazza.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="355" />computational models to match spoken sounds to the pattern of activity in the electrodes. The patients then heard a single word, and Pasley used the models to predict the word based on electrode recordings. “We are looking at which cortical sites are increasing activity at particular acoustic frequencies, and from that, we map back to the sound,” Pasley said. He compared the technique to a pianist who knows the sounds of the keys so well that she can look at the keys another pianist is playing in a sound-proof room and “hear” the music, much as Ludwig van Beethoven was able to “hear” his compositions despite being deaf. The better of the two methods was able to reproduce a sound close enough to the original word for Pasley and his fellow researchers to correctly guess the word. “We think we would be more accurate with an hour of listening and recording and then repeating the word many times,” Pasley said. But because any realistic device would need to accurately identify words heard the first time, he decided to test the models using only a single trial. “This research is a major step toward understanding what features of speech are represented in the human brain” Knight said. “Brian’s analysis can reproduce the sound the patient heard, and you can actually recognize the word, although not at a perfect level.” Knight predicts that this success can be extended to imagined, internal verbalizations, because scientific studies have shown that when people are asked to imagine speaking a word, similar brain regions are activated as when the person actually utters the word. “With neuroprosthetics, people have shown that it’s possible to control movement with brain activity,” Knight said. “But that work, while not easy, is relatively simple compared to</p>

This experiment takes that earlier work to a whole new level.” Based on earlier work with ferrets; The current research builds on work by other researchers about how animals encode sounds in the brain’s auditory cortex. In fact, some researchers, including the study’s coauthors at the University of Maryland, have been able to guess the words ferrets were read by scientists based on recordings from the brain, even though the ferrets were unable to understand the words.The ultimate goal of the UC Berkeley study was to explore how the human brain encodes speech and determine which aspects of speech are most important for understanding.“At some point, the brain has to extract away all that auditory information and just map it onto a word, since we can understand speech and words regardless of how they sound,” Pasley said. “The big question is, What is the most meaningful unit of speech? A syllable, a phone, a phoneme? We can test these hypotheses using the data we get from these recordings.” Coauthors of the study are electrical engineers Stephen V. David, Nima Mesgarani and Shihab A. Shamma of the University of Maryland; Adeen Flinker of UC Berkeley’s Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute; and neurologist Nathan E. Crone of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. The work was done principally in the labs of Robert Knight at UC Berkeley and Edward Chang, a neurosurgeon at UCSF. Chang and Knight are members of the Center for Neural Engineering and Prostheses, a joint UC Berkeley/UCSF group focused on using brain activity to develop neural prostheses for motor and speech disorders in disabling neurological disorders.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28988" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pinguino-pianta.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="456" />Gelo brucia piante in terrazzo, ecco come salvarle. In un decalogo le “regole d’oro” per superare l’emergenza freddo. E’ allarme gelo per le piante in terrazzo che rischiano di essere “bruciate” dal brusco abbassamento delle temperature sotto lo zero. E’ quanto afferma la Coldiretti in riferimento all’ondata di maltempo nel sottolineare che, se nei terrazzi in pericolo ci sono agrumi, bouganville, oleandri, olivi e fichi d’India, in campagna c’è preoccupazione per le coltivazioni invernali in campo aperto come cavoli, verze, cicorie, carciofi, radicchio e broccoli. Se per le verdure in campo colpite dal gelo c’è davvero poco da fare, per salvare il proprio giardino il consiglio &#8211; sottolinea la Coldiretti &#8211; è quello di mettere al riparo le piante sulle scale condominiali, oppure negli androni di ingresso, previo accordo con i condomini, per evitare problemi, oppure in una cantina o in un garage, anche buio, per pochi giorni, considerando l’emergenza. Se non è possibile è meglio disporre i vasi contro il muro, poiché in questo modo hanno maggiore calore, mentre va evitata la collocazione accanto alla ringhiera. Meglio ancora metterli sul lato sud del balcone. Collocare le piante direttamente a terra piuttosto che in alto assicurerà poi maggior calore. Utile anche sollevare i vasi da terra, ponendo sotto uno strato di polistirolo. Una protezione efficace dal gelo è rappresentata dal tessuto non tessuto, una sorta di telo traspirante che si</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28989" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pianta-faccia1.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="541" />può trovare a poca spesa nei negozi di prodotti agricoli. Deve coprire l’intera pianta e va fermato infilandone i lembi sotto al vaso. L’altra soluzione -  continua la Coldiretti &#8211; è rappresentata da un telo di plastica, il quale impone però una gestione più attenta, rendendo necessario chiuderlo e aprirlo più volte per evitare il formarsi dell’umidità, oltre a rischiare di essere portato via dal vento. Ancora, bisogna tenere il terreno il più possibile asciutto e innaffiare il minimo indispensabile. Quando lo si fa, evitare accuratamente che l’acqua possa ristagnare nel sottovaso, favorendo la gelata della pianta. Eventuali potature vanno, infine, effettuare a fine inverno, poiché la maggior presenza di rami e foglie assicura comunque una maggiore protezione dal freddo. IL DECALOGO COLDIRETTI DIFENDERE LE PIANTE IN TERRAZZO DAL GELO; Portare le piante all’interno dell’abitazione.   Disporre le piante contro il muro, invece, che vicino alla ringhiera. Metterle, laddove possibile, sul lato sud. Collocarle a terra, dove hanno maggior calore, e non in alto. Mettere uno strato di polistirolo sotto i vasi. Sistemare il vaso all’interno di un altro più grande utilizzando  paglia sul fondo e trucioli di legno o altri materiali per riempiere  l’intercapedine tra i due vasi. Coprire le piante con tessuto non tessuto o, in alternativa, con un telo di plastica che impone però una gestione più attenta, Tenere il terreno asciutto e innaffiare il meno possibile. Non far ristagnare l’acqua nel sottovaso.  Non potare le piante. Fonte: Coldiretti Confederazione Nazionale Coltivatori Diretti</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Questa nuova immagine mostra l&#8217;incubatrice stellare nota come NGC 3324. È stata ottenuta con il WFI (Wide Field Imager) sul telescopio da 2,2 metri dell&#8217;MPG/ESO all&#8217;Osservatorio di La Silla in Cile. L&#8217;intensa radiazione ultravioletta prodotta dalle molte stelle calde e giovani di NGC 3324 fa risplendere il gas di vivi colori e ha perfino intagliato una cavità nel gas e nelle polveri circostanti. NGC 3324 si trova nella costellazione australe della Carena (è la carena della nave di Giasone, Argo) a circa 7500 anni</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Digitized-Sky-Survey-Image-of-Eta-Carinae-Nebula.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-28973" title="&gt;Click to enlarge&lt; This image is a colour composite made from exposures from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2).

È localizzata nella zona più settentrionale dell&#8217;ambiente caotico della Nebulosa Carena, scolpita da molte altre sacche di formazione stellare (eso0905). Un ricco deposito di gas e polvere nella regione di NGC 3324 ha fornito carburante per un improvviso evento di creazione di nuove stelle in questa regione molti milioni di anni fa ed ha portato alla creazione di diverse stelle caldissime e poderose che sono molto evidenti in questa nuova fotografia.I venti stellari e l&#8217;intensa radiazione prodotta da queste stelle giovani hanno aperto un varco nel gas e nella polvere circostanti. Questo è più evidente nella parete di materia visibile a destra del centro dell&#8217;immagine. La radiazione ultravioletta delle giovani stelle calde ha scalzato gli elettroni dagli atomi di idrogeno. Gli elettroni quando vengono poi ricatturati producono un bagliore color cremisi scendendo a cascata i vari livelli energetici dell&#8217;atomo e così facendo rivelano l&#8217;estensione del gas diffuso. Altri colori corrispondono ad altri elementi, come ad esempio il caratteristico colore giallo verde dell&#8217;ossigeno ionizzato due volte visibile nella parte centrale. Così come</p>

This chart shows the location of the star formation region NGC 3324 within the constellation of Carina (The Keel of Jason’s ship, Argo). This map shows most of the stars visible to the unaided eye under good conditions, and the location of the nebula itself is marked with a red circle. Through a moderate-sized amateur telescope this object appears as a small clump of faint stars.

Uno dei soprannomi di NGC 3324 è dunque la Nebulosa Gabriela Mistral, dal nome della poetessa cilena insignita del Premio Nobel [1]. Il margine della parete di gas e polvere sulla destra assomiglia molto ad un volto umano visto di profilo, con la sporgenza al centro che corrisponde al naso. Le potenzialità del WFI del telescopio da 2,2 metri dell&#8217;MPG/ESO all&#8217;osservatorio di La Silla riescono a mettere in luce anche molte strutture scure in NGC 3324. Grani di polvere bloccano la luce dal gas di fondo rilucente, creando filigrane di ombre che aggiungono una suggestiva struttura alla prezioso panorama. Anche lo sguardo acuto del Telescopio Spaziale Hubble si è posato su NGC 3324 nel passato. Hubble può cogliere dettagli più minuti rispetto al WFI, ma solo in un campo di vista molto più piccolo. I due strumenti usati in coppia forniscono sia la visione panoramica che il dettaglio dell&#8217;ingrandimento.  Contatti: <em><a href="mailto:anna.wolter@brera.inaf.it" target="_blank">Anna Wolter</a></em>, INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera Milano, ITALY.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28981" title="Il 2 febbraio Giornata mondiale delle zone umide" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Il-2-febbraio-Giornata-mondiale-delle-zone-umide.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ecco gli appuntamenti di Legambiente per salvaguardare i “serbatoi” di biodiversità. L&#8217;obiettivo è informare i  cittadini sull’importanza di questi preziosi ecosistemi. Avvistamenti delle specie migratorie, visite guidate e trekking in suggestivi e incontaminati habitat naturali e ancora tante informazioni per chi volesse conoscere meglio alcune delle riserve naturali più belle del nostro Paese. Sono alcune delle attività che Legambiente propone per celebrare la Giornata mondiale delle zone umide, che si festeggia in tutto il mondo il 2 febbraio. Una data importante per ricordare il 41° anno della firma della Convenzione di Ramsar, siglata il 2 febbraio del 1971, a cui aderiscono oggi 160 Paesi. Questo accordo per la tutela delle zone umide ha permesso di salvaguardare 1.912 aree nel mondo per un totale di 187 milioni di ettari. Il tema dell’edizione 2012, così come deciso dal segretariato della Convenzione di Ramsar, promotore dell’iniziativa, è “zone umide e turismo”. Un tema delicato ed importante perché lo</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28982" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/farfalla.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="358" />sviluppo del turismo-natura è strettamente connesso alla salvaguardia del patrimonio ambientale e delle risorse naturali. Per il week-end del 4 e 5 febbraio Legambiente, grazie ai suoi circoli e alle aree naturalistiche della rete “Natura e Territorio”, organizza una serie d’iniziative per tutelare questi “serbatoi” di biodiversità sensibilizzando ed informando i cittadini sull’importanza di questi ecosistemi. Tra questi ci sono i laghi, elementi di ricchezza ambientale, economica e di valorizzazione del nostro territorio. Malgrado la loro importanza sono seriamente a rischio, basti pensare che l’80% dei bacini lacustri sono fortemente inquinati. E proprio per salvaguardare e valorizzare i laghi e il patrimonio idrico di acqua dolce del Paese, la rete italiana di Living Lakes, di cui Legambiente è presidente, s’impegna per promuovere la protezione e lo sviluppo degli habitat naturali e la loro varia flora e fauna, aumentare la conoscenza e il livello di sensibilità, sviluppare in modo sostenibile il turismo e le economie locali e svolgere attività sportive nel pieno rispetto dell’ambiente. “I laghi, le oasi, gli stagni e le torbiere, oltre ad essere straordinari bacini di biodiversità, sono eccellenti depositi di stoccaggio per l’anidride carbonica dove vivono esemplari unici per l’intero ecosistema. Senza considerare che sono anche territori dal consistente valore economico che, se valorizzati adeguatamente, sono in grado di riattivare le economie locali”, ha dichiarato Antonio Nicoletti, responsabile nazionale aree protette e biodiversità di Legambiente.Tra i principali appuntamenti organizzati dall’associazione, sabato 4 febbraio in Friuli</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28983" title="" src="http://goodnews.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/uccello.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="346" />Venezia Giulia i circoli del Medio Friuli e di Udine organizzano una visita alla torbiera, al Bioparco e all’Acquario. Domenica 5 febbraio nel Lazio e nelle Marche sono in programma due visite guidate di birdwatching, rispettivamente nel Parco Nazionale del Circeo, organizzata dal circolo Larus di Sabaudia, e nella Riserva Naturale Regionale della Sentina, promossa dal circolo di San Benedetto del Tronto. In Calabria il circolo di Legambiente Sila ha programmato una ciaspolata intorno al Lago Ariamacina e in Veneto nell’Oasi Cà di Mezzo (Codevigo, PD) sono in programma visite guidate, distribuzione di materiali informativi a lettura agevolata e proiezione di filmati sulla fauna presente nell’oasi, tutto coordinato dal Circolo della Saccisica. Ricco, inoltre, il programma della Toscana, con una passeggiata ecologica sui colletti di Veneri (Circolo Valdinievole), un escursione nella Riserva Naturale di Bosco Tanali e nella Padule di Bientina (circolo Valdera) e visite guidate nella Riserva Naturale Provinciale Diaccia Botrona, nell’Oasi Lago di Burano e nel Lago dell&#8217;Accesa, organizzate per il 4 e 5 febbraio dal Circolo Festambiente di Rispescia (GR). In Lombardia i circoli “il Colibrì” e il “CEA le Libellule” propongono un laboratorio di ecologia all’aperto mentre con il circolo Legambiente Lecco si potrà andare alla scoperta dell&#8217;ecosistema legato al fiume e della Palude di Brivio.  Infine, attività di birdwatching verranno anche proposte nella Riserva Pantani della Sicilia Sud-Orientale.
