A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said. The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website. Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015. The solar cr...
The team from Austria's University of Salzburg measured the breakdown of muscle proteins in dead pigs over time. It is a significant step forward from the current method of measuring core body temperature, which only works up to 36 hours after death. The breakthrough was announced at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual conference in Prague. Dr Peter Steinbacher, the lead researcher on the study, told that there was "a huge lack of reliable methods" to calculate the time of death "after the moment when the body has cooled down to environmental temperatures". "Depending on the temperature, this takes normally about one to two days," said Dr Steinbacher, from the University of Salzburg."We're searching for a new way to assess the time of death after this... [and found that] muscle protein degradation proved to be a very promising method."
ones division studied your current muscle proteins connected with pigs, because of their close similarity to human muscles. The protein building blocks involving MY muscles tend to be very large, tangled molecules that, right after death, begin to break along in to smaller pieces. "This happens for some of your proteins in the very were made night out frame," Dr Steinbacher explained. "Even the breakdown merchandise usually are present for the catered time. "So whether a person learn which of these items are provide inside a sample next you know Whenever anyone died."
The office offers in addition analysed over 58 human tissue samples by the forensic department of any same university. ALONG WITH the preliminary findings showed similar clockwork-like changes. "We at this point need more samples to find out whether gender, body mass index, temperature, humidity, etc play a role for the time-course connected with muscle breakdown," said Dr Steinbacher. He IN ADDITION TO his colleagues hope The idea in three years, this technique in case support with the gathering regarding necessary forensic evidence.
