			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>April 2008</p>
<p>Researchers at <a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com">HP Labs</a> create the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor">memristor </a>— short for memory resistor - could make it possible to develop far more energy-efficient computing systems with memories that retain information even after the power is off, so there&#8217;s no wait for the system to boot up after turning the computer on. It may even be possible to create systems with some of the pattern-matching abilities of the human brain.</p>
<p>Engineers could develop a new kind of computer memory that would supplement and eventually replace today&#8217;s commonly used dynamic random access memory (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM">D-RAM</a>). Computers using conventional D-RAM lack the ability to retain information once they are turned off. When power is restored to a D-RAM-based computer, a slow, energy-consuming &#8220;boot-up&#8221; process is necessary to retrieve data stored on a magnetic disk required to run the system.</p>
<p>Memristor-based computers wouldn&#8217;t require that process, using less power and possibly increasing system resiliency and reliability. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Chua">Chua</a> believes the memristor could have applications for computing, cell phones, video games - anything that requires a lot of memory without a lot of battery-power drain.</p>
<p>As for the human brain-like characteristics, memristor technology could one day lead to computer systems that can remember and associate patterns in a way similar to how people do. This could be used to substantially improve facial recognition technology or to provide more complex biometric recognition systems that could more effectively restrict access to personal information. These same pattern-matching capabilities could enable appliances that learn from experience and computers that can make decisions.</p>

<p>I ricercatori di <a href="http://hpl.hp.com/">HP Labs</a> hanno realizzato il <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor">memristore</a> in grado di conservare la memoria anche a computer spento. Il memristor potrebbe affiancare o rimpiazzare la <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM">D-RAM</a> che durante il processo di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot">boot up</a> recupera i dati registrati sull&#8217;hard disk.</p>
<p>Oltre al risparmio energetico e a una migliore efficienza del sistema il mermistore potrebbe portare allo sviluppo di una memoria in grado di ricordare e associare schemi con modalità simili a quella del cervello umano.</p>
<p>Nel 1971 l&#8217;ingegnere l&#8217;ingegnere Leon Chua teorizzo l&#8217;esistenza del mermistor.</p>

<p>A spidery fungus with a voracious appetite for military uniforms and canvas tents could hold the key to improvements in the production of biofuels, a team of government, academic and industry researchers has announced.</p>
<p>The fungus T. reesei rose to dubious fame during World War II when military leaders discovered it was responsible for rapid deterioration of clothing and tents in the South Pacific. Named after Dr. Elwyn T. Reese, who, with colleagues, originally isolated the hungry fungus, T. reesei was later identified as a source of industrial enzymes and a role model for the conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose&#8211;plant fibers&#8211;into simple sugars.</p>
<p>The organism uses enzymes it creates to break down human-indigestible fibers of plants into the simplest form of sugar, known as a monosaccharide. The fungus then digests the sugars as food.</p>

<p>«Parlando di energie rinnovabili molto chiacchierate ma poco coltivate, è inutile insistere con l’energia eolica perché di vento ce n’è poco nella Penisola al contrario dei Paesi del Nord o dell’Irlanda. Anche la biomassa rappresenta una nicchia limitata. Invece il sole è l’unica sorgente che abbiamo abbondante e ancora da sfruttare. Noi, con le altre nazioni del Sud Europa, Spagna e Grecia, dobbiamo lavorare su questo fronte anche costruendo impianti solari nel Nordafrica, nel Sahara ad esempio dove ci sono grandi spazi desertici, trasferendo via cavo l’energia prodotta verso la Sicilia. Gli spagnoli, sempre più attivi, hanno già il progetto di una centrale da due miliardi di watt da realizzare in Marocco».</p>
<p>[...] Se vogliamo affrontare seriamente il riscaldamento del clima bisogna sostituire il combustibile utilizzato dal miliardo di veicoli ogni giorno in transito sulle strade del pianeta generando anidride carbonica. L’idrogeno è l’unica via per sostituire il petrolio ma occorre ancora un buon lavoro di ricerca per utilizzarlo. E se non lo farà l’Italia, lo faranno gli altri. Io raccomanderei ai miei illustri colleghi di impegnarsi di più».</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Do you have the ability to be a top-notch journalist? Could you write the sort of articles <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/">the Guardian </a>would be happy to publish? Here is the chance for your work to be published alongside some of the best journalism in the UK.</p>
<p>The Guardian, in partnership with eight UK-based international non-government organisations (NGOs), wants to find exciting new voices in journalism. We are looking for anyone who is willing to rise to the challenge of writing about some of the most crucial issues facing the developing world today - issues that are often overlooked or underrepresented by the media.</p>
<p>The challenge is to write an article of 650 to 1,000 words by May 6 on an aspect of global poverty that deserves greater media exposure - from safe motherhood to sanitation, youth governance to sexually transmitted infections. The 16 best writers will be selected from a longlist of about 40 entrants, all of whom will have their articles published online at guardian.co.uk.</p>
<p>The two strands for entry are:</p>
<p>· For professional freelance journalists (people who have been published before - excluding student journalists - but who are not employees of media organisations).</p>
<p>· For amateurs, including students. Anyone who is not a professional journalist is welcome to enter.</p>
<p>·For more details on all aspects of the competition, visit<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>We’ve got <a href="http://earth.google.com/">Google Earth</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/sky/">Google Sky</a>. Next up will be a map of the world below sea level–Google Ocean. The company has assembled an advisory group of oceanography experts to create a 3D oceanographic map.</p>
<p>The tool–for now called <strong>Google Ocean</strong>, is expected to be similar to other 3D online mapping applications. People will be able to see the underwater topography, called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathymetry">bathymetry</a>, search for particular spots or attractions, and navigate through the digital environment by zooming and panning. </p>
<p>Google Ocean will feature a basic layer that shows the depth of the sea floor and will serve as a spatial framework for additional data, sources said, adding that Google plans to try to fill in some areas of the map with high-resolution images for more detail.</p>
<p>Additional data will be displayed as overlying layers that depict phenomena like weather patterns, currents, temperatures, shipwrecks, coral reefs, and algae blooms, much like the <a href="http://www.nps.gov/">National Park Service</a> and <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/">NASA</a> provide additional data for Google Earth and Google Sky.</p>

<strong><br />
Dopo la <a>terra</a> e lo <a href="www.google.com/sky">spazio</a> è la volta degli oceani. Utile per vedere la struttura che c&#8217;è sott&#8217;acqua e incrociare dati scientifici</strong></p>
<p>Dopo aver camminato sulla terra e visitato lo spazio è il momento di tuffarsi negli oceani con un nuovo progetto di Google, per ora chiamato Ocean, ma probabilmente destinato a cambiare nel momento in cui uscirà in versione definitiva. </p>
<p>Del resto la nostra Terrà è coperta per il 70% di acqua, e Google starebbe preparando una applicazione specifica sia per vedere ciò che c&#8217;è sotto la superficie sia per rendere disponibile una base su cui far convergere dati di varia natura: la temperatura dei mari, le costituzioni coralline, le correnti presenti, le zone inquinate.</p>
<p>Le mappe 3D dei fondali marini sarebbero già pronte, probabilmente prese dal database già presente presso l&#8217;osservatorio <a href="http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/">Lamont-Doherty Earth</a> della Columbia University, e un gruppo di esperti oceanografi avrebbero fatto visita agli uffici di Google per una consulenza sui dettagli dell&#8217;iniziativa lo scorso dicembre. Non sono però state rese note le date di uscita dell&#8217;applicazione.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080501143406.htm">ScienceDaily</a> (May 2, 2008)</p>
<p>Scientists confirm computer model predictions that oxygen-depleted zones in tropical oceans are expanding, possibly because of climate change. An international team of physical oceanographers including a researcher from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has discovered that oxygen-poor regions of tropical oceans are expanding as the oceans warm, limiting the areas in which predatory fishes and other marine organisms can live or enter in search of food.</p>
<p>The study, &#8220;Expanding Oxygen-Minimum Zones in the Tropical Oceans,&#8221; appears in the May 2 edition of the journal <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/320/5876/655">Science</a>.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Si espande l&#8217;Oceano povero di ossigeno</strong></p>
<p>Le acque povere di ossigeno occupano ampi volumi degli oceani tropicali orientali di profondità intermedia. Le condizioni di scarsità di ossigeno hanno infatti un impatto ad ampio raggio sugli ecosistemi, dal momento che importanti macrorganismi mobili evitano tali zone, ma anche in tal modo non riescono a sopravvivere. I modelli climatici prevedono un declino nell’ossigeno disciolto nell’oceano a causa del riscaldamento globale. </p>
<p>Si tratta di riduzioni significative che, se non corrette nei prossimi anni, non mancheranno di avere drammatiche e conseguenze per gli ecosistemi costieri e sulle economie basate sul loro sfruttamento.</p>

<p>The case of Darfur, a forbidding piece of sun-parched real estate in the southern part of Sudan, illustrates the new Cold War over oil, where the dramatic rise in China’s oil demand to fuel its booming growth has led Beijing to embark on an aggressive policy of—ironically&#8211; dollar diplomacy. With its more than $1.3 trillion in mainly US dollar reserves at the Peoples’ National Bank of China, Beijing is engaging in active petroleum geopolitics. Africa is a major focus, and in Africa, the central region between Sudan and Chad is priority. This is defining a major new front in what, since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, is a new Cold War between Washington and Beijing over control of major oil sources. So far Beijing has played its cards a bit more cleverly than Washington. Darfur is a major battleground in this high-stakes contest for oil control. </p>

Il caso del <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur">Darfur</a>, uno sgradevole brandello di appezzamenti di terra seccati dal sole nella parte meridionale del Sudan, ci mostra la nuova guerra fredda per il petrolio, in cui il drammatico aumento della richiesta di petrolio della Cina per alimentare il suo sviluppo esponenziale ha portato Pechino ad imbarcarsi in una politica aggressiva di - ironicamente - diplomazia del dollaro. Con le sue riserve di oltre 1.3 trilioni principalmente in dollari USA nella Banca Nazionale del Popolo della Cina, Pechino si sta inserendo nella geopolitica attiva del petrolio. L&#8217;Africa è un obiettivo principale e, in Africa, la regione centrale fra il Sudan ed il Chad è prioritaria. Ciò sta definendo un nuovo importante fronte in quella che, dall&#8217;invasione statunitense dell&#8217;Iraq nel 2003, è una nuova Guerra Fredda fra Pechino e Washington per il controllo delle principali fonti di petrolio. Finora Pechino ha giocato le sue carte in maniera più intelligente di Washington. Il Darfur è uno dei principali campi di battaglia in questa gara dalla posta altissima per il controllo del petrolio.</p>
