Okolju prijazne bombe
Četrtek, 29. maj 2008 05:37

Nemški znanstveniki razvijajo nove oblike eksplozivov, ki bodo močnejši in hkrati varnejši za uporabo kot TNT in ostala običajna eksplozivna sredstva, prav tako pa bodo okolju prijazna.

TNT, RDX in ostali eksplozivi, ki se pogosto uporabljajo v vojaške in industrijske namene, običajno pri detonaciji povzročijo sprostitev strupenih plinov, ki onesnažujejo ozračje. Prav za prav so ti eksplozivi toksični že sami po sebi in pogosto se zgodi, da ekstremno nevarne snovi tudi brez eksplozije
pronicajo v okolje.

Po drugi strani so takšni eksplozivi tudi precej nevarni za uporabo, saj so močno občutljivi na fizične šoke, kot so udarci in iskre.

Za dosego večje varnosti pri uporabi in razvoj okolju prijaznejših eksplozivnih teles, so nemški znanstveniki svoje raziskave usmerili v nedavno odkrite materiale, imenovane tetrazoli.

Tetrazoli večino svoje eksplozivne energije črpajo iz dušika in ne ogljika kot na primer TNT.

Majhne bombe, ki so jih naredili iz omenjenega materiala, so tako manj dovzetne na vplive iz okolja, s čimer je precej zmanjšana nevarnost neželenih eksplozij.

Prav tako pa so laboratorijski testi pokazali, da je nova vrsta eksplozivov silovitejša kot TNT in RDX. vir: http://novice.svarog.org/?Novica=3513

Hm ... še dobro, da če se bomo izbrisali PREJ dol s te modre pike, preden se nas bo otresel planet sam, potem bomo vsaj ta zadnji korak naredili bolj ekološko ... Can't believe it.

Začenja se ... no more plastic bags for sLOVEnija

Pozorno poslušajte besedilo, glejte, sporočajte, delajte.

Z nekim timom bomo naredili akcijo, s katero bomo v največji meri poskušali na ničlo zmanjšati potrošnjo plastičnih vrečk v Sloveniji.

Ko vidite kaj na to temo, če se to pač sklada z vašo socializacijo in vzorci mišljenja, če ste odprti in se vam ni težko malce prilagodit, če lahko 5x ponucate isto vrečko za zmrzovanje kruha namesto vsakič drugo ... dajte!
Hvala, lep pozdrav.
P.S.: No, če vam to pač (še) ni po godu, se lahko pa prej še malce pozabavate z legendarnim, a premalokrat do konca razumljenim Georgeom Carlinom. (Click!)

John Cleese - How to Irritate People - Airplane Sketch

You have got to love Monty Python and John Cleese. Love this:

It is ... over!

Finally - the exams have gone and have gone well. Much better than, say, last year.
I've got to know a couple of secrets and adapted a bit to the life of biologists, thus my "examming" went much, much better - well, if nigh (?) else, I can now enroll into the higher grade. (2nd, for the second time (changed uni).)
Today, wrote my last exam this month and - well, now just made a little dinner for my dad and I, to celebrate a bit. It was quite ok, mediterranean sort-of, potatoes with onion, in garlic and parsley "sauce" (in olive oil), with a wondrous little cherry-tomatoes with ruquola and lime ... Mmm!

So take care, see yuh soon, Love Monty Python which I'm downloading and Rowan Atkinson's Jesus, Welcome to hell and the rest.

Ophrys sphegodes - Orchidaceae

Just something to brag and boast about. And to make you drool - one of my photos (the better ones) I took on the Mljet 2008 "spring biology camp" on ... well, Mljet. (The Croatian island. Link.)

So - post your comments or not, use the photo (or not:) link it to this blog or tell whose is it (that would be nice).
Have a great one (night, sex, party, pissing out with mates, weekend, whatever)!

Xkcd comics

Right;) This is something new I found on the net¹ (not that I was explicitly looking for it, but I just wanted to find the link to one of the comics I saw the other day and - voilla! Found the Source. Neo of the Matrix would've been proud;)



and then one other is also really nice: This one is for all of the gents and gals, madly in love with life or each other or both;)


For MZP from TDF***

1. From a blog of a guy called Dwight Silverman, I am copying this bit:
   /.../ recently discovered xkcd, which features crude stick figures and razor-sharp geek wit.
   They're drawn and written by Randall Munroe, who has a degree in physics and used to work on robots for NASA, which certainly qualifies him to do a geek comic. Among other topics he's tackled: love and software deadlines, love's illusions shattered and sleazy uses of Facebook. It reminds me of one of the first regularly updated comics on the Web, Stafford Huyler's NetBoy.
