THE ALGAE COULD PROVIDE ASTRONAUTS EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN THE SPACE

Long-term space missions, such as those that NASA would like to undertake for Mars, will have to provide the crew with food, water and oxygen. These three essential functions for life could be offered by a single element: algae.

In such a system, which could be used aboard spacecraft and space stations in the near future, microalgae could be used to clean air, water, and (perhaps) also to produce food. Researchers at the Stuttgart University of Space Systems began researching possible space applications for microalgae in 2008, and in 2014, in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the private aerospace company Airbus, they started to develop a photobioreactor (culture systems of photosynthetic microorganisms) using the Chlorella vulgaris microalgae. This microalga has a photosynthetic efficiency up to ten times higher than that of more complex plants, and if used as a hybrid life support system (LSS), they can remove carbon dioxide from the cabin atmosphere and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. On a small scale these algae work, and now they must also be tested in space. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station, which was recently found full of fungi and bacteria, will allow microalgae to grow for 180 days, which will allow the photobioreactor to be evaluated. This alga is also excellent as a food source. "Chlorella biomass is a common food supplement and can contribute to a balanced diet thanks to its high content of proteins, unsaturated fatty acids and various vitamins, including vitamin B12 .. if you like sushi, you will love it," he said. Harald Helisch, a biotechnologist at the Institute of Space System who is participating in the study.

Champions / Liverpool makes it unimaginable. Wins 4-0 against Barça and grabs the final

Liverpool has achieved what even her fiery fan was hard to believe. The "Reds" won 4-0 to Barcelona overturning the 3-0 defeat of the first leg and passed to the big Champions League final.

Divock Origi and Giorgino Wijnaldum were the heroes of Jurgen Klopp's team, who managed to overthrow without its two main strikers: Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Liverpool dominated the game from start to finish, not leaving Barça breathing, while Messi was the shadow of himself in this meeting, unlike the last game when he marveled the world with his football.

Towards Fiorentina-Milan, Saturday the purple fans protest: via the banners to the Franks

Through a statement published on its official website, the Viola Club Coordination Center Association announced the purple banners strike for Fiorentina-Milan: "Florence, 7 May 2019 In all our decisions we must always keep in mind the good of Fiorentina. (Rigoletto Fantappiè). After the semi-final return played in Bergamo we deliberately waited a few days for the company to make the necessary clarity, communicating the decisions to re-found the technical sports sector so as not to face another bankruptcy season for the fourth consecutive year. Unfortunately today we must acknowledge that despite ourselves we find ourselves immersed in a deafening silence. The Association has therefore decided, as the first action of dissent, to permanently remove the banners of our Viola Clubs from the stadium. We reserve the right to evaluate further actions in the coming days to demonstrate the position of the Association and its affiliates ".

Holland, "I'm sick", but goes to the stadium: framed on TV, footballer fired

In trouble for cheering Ajax the young Telstar striker Jordie Van der Laan. The leaders of the Dutch Serie B club recognized him on TV watching the match against Tottenham

Call it Murphy's law or just bad luck. Among the more than 60 thousand spectators in the new Tottenham stadium in the world of television camera shots they lingered for one frame too much on the wrong one. Yes, because Jordie Van der Laan, 25-year-old Telstar striker from the Dutch B-series, was fired for a shot.

ON TV - The player, was sick, skipping training for the championship match against Jong Psv. But in reality, instead of being in bed with the flu, he was in London to attend Tottenham-Ajax. When the Telstar executives recognized him, they fired him on the spot, considering the conduct of the member whose contract would expire next June 30th very serious. Tomorrow Van der Laan, despite his free from commitments, will be at the Cruijff Arena for the return match of the Champions League semi-final.

Inter, Godin says goodbye to Atletico in tears: "From today an extra fan"

The defender, very excited, makes the end of his relationship with the Madrid club official: "From today I'm just an extra fan"

The first tears of emotion arrived a few seconds after the start of the conference, after Diego Godin greeted players, managers and Atletico president, all present at his farewell press conference at the Wanda Metropolitano: "These are my last matches here , I wanted you to know it from my words, because for me Atletico was a family and I'm just one more fan of this club ". The speech before the questions did not last long, but was interrupted a few times by tears, a further sign of the player's great bond with the environment. President Cerezo also greeted him: "You have been a key man of the best period in the history of this club. This remains your home, wherever you go next season".

THE REASONS - After 9 seasons, 8 trophies and 387 matches, the Uruguayan then closes his adventure with the "colchoneros": "We have held many meetings with the club, we have not reached an agreement and therefore a stage of my career, beautiful. I'm leaving with a very high head, because I gave everything for this club ". The defender, very excited, did not want to go back to the reasons that led to the separation, repeating only that he could only thank and respect the club. And the player has not even talked about his next destination, Inter, with which he will sign a three-year contract. Then all the family members of the player went up on the page for a farewell photo, and then all the players and managers present.

Class photo with 265 thousand galaxies

A great "history book" of galaxies in a single image. It is the mosaic of the distant universe produced by the Hubble Legacy Field Team using 16 years of observations of a reduced sky area - on which the Hubble space telescope lingered in the complex for a good 250 days: more than on any other region of the sky

It is a mosaic of the remote universe. A spectacular image that is the result of the far-reaching shooting photographer who documents 16 years of observations by the 29-year-old Hubble space telescope. The international team involved in the Hubble project composed it. The amazing image is called the Hubble Legacy Field. And it's not just any image. It contains about 265 thousand old galaxies up to 13.3 billion years - therefore dating back to just 500 million years after the Big Bang. But if you think that these numbers are enough to define the amazing image, well, you are wrong. You still have to consider the range of wavelengths that helped create it: from ultraviolet to near infrared, capturing all the features of the assembly of galaxies over time, with the most distant ones characterized by an apparent brightness that does not reach a ten-billionth of that perceptible to our eyes. And it's not over, there's the icing on the cake - the one left after the telescope's birthday, celebrated last April 24th: the mosaic was obtained by combining the most important deep field surveys (deep field, in English) that Hubble has never completed, the observations of the most remote universe, where the primordial galaxies lie, the most interesting ones to measure the size and age of the universe and test the theories about its origin. That of 1995, in which Hubble captured several thousand galaxies never seen before. The spectacular Hubble ultra deep field of 2004, in which it detected almost ten thousand galaxies in a single image. To finish with the extreme deep field of 2012, obtained in turn by combining ten years of observations of a portion of sky within the original Hubble visual field. In short, a "history book": the largest and most complete galaxy in the universe.

A portrait created from an album of images obtained from nearly 7500 individual exhibitions - the first of the Hubble Legacy Field series - which includes the collective work of 31 Hubble programs carried out by different research groups, and which confirms Hubble the time machine for excellence in astronomy. "Now that we have expanded on previous surveys, we are gathering many more distant galaxies in this which is the largest dataset of its kind ever produced," says Garth Illingworth, leader of the team that created the mosaic. "It is an image destined to remain unsurpassed until the future space telescopes such as the James Webb are launched".

Pres. Gremio: “Everton? From Milan no proposal "

Romildo Bozan Junior, President of the Gremio, spoke of Milan's interest in Everton Sousa Soares, an offensive outsider in the Porto Alegre team

MILAN FOOTBALL - Milan's interest in Everton Sousa Soares, known as ‘Cebolinha‘, is offensive in the 1996 class as part of the Brazilian national team of Tite and star of the Gremio. Today, on the microphones of ‘calciomercato.com’, Romildo Bozan Junior, President of the association of Porto Alegre, spoke of the situation of his fast and technical striker, which is very pleasing to Leonardo and to the company of Via Aldo Rossi. "I've known Leonardo for years, but no proposal has come from Milan for Everton. Until concrete offers come for him, we cannot talk about a possible sale. Manchester City? At the moment we have no serious and concrete offers for Everton on the table. He is a Gremio heritage, a very important player for us. Value of 40 million euros? No, much higher, considering that it has a € 80 million termination clause ”.

Horrors in the field and made fun of social media: the tweet battle breaks out between Sterling and Walker

Although with some difficulty, the three points against Leicester have arrived. And so some players of Manchester City have created a nice social curtain that has greatly amused the fans in the post-game.

Being cheerful is much easier when you win. Imagine when you take an important game home. Of course, if Captain Kompany had not found the joker from distance, or if Iheanacho had not failed the equalizer, perhaps Manchester City would have been much less willing to joke. But in the end the three points against Leicester arrived and so some of Guardiola's players gave birth to a nice social curtain that greatly amused the fans in the post-game.

ATTACK - Everything stems from a fairly unfortunate conclusion of Walker, who in the first half pulls from the frontline and sends the ball ... out of the Etihad. A scene that has definitely impressed his teammate Sterling, who did not resist the end of the match and teased the fullback on Twitter. First, under the tweet he congratulated with Kompany he asked about the fate of the ball kicked by his partner: "Does anyone know where Walker's ball went?" And then he added a dose: "Oh my god, this is terrible", with lots of videos of Walker's shot ending ... more than abundantly high. A chirping that receives the appreciation of many of Sterling's followers.

DEFENSE - But Walker does not want to know about being teased and therefore decides to respond in kind. Such as? With the video of a very bad close-up header by Sterling, who not only does not take the door from a few meters, but sends the ball out loudly. The caption is a jab: "Bel rinvi friend!"

CONTRACT - Ends like this? Absolutely not, because Sterling demands the last word and answers to his companion: "Better your friend! Legend has it that they are still looking for the ball. " Game, game, match. No, there is also time for interaction with fans. And then to someone who asks if there is a reward for those who find it, Sterling chirps cheerfully: "I will keep you informed about it". So many laughs. Who knows what the two would have said ... if it ended badly!

Gattuso-Bakayoko, Milan first of all: united for the Champions League. At the end of the month the future

The clarification, in the presence of Leonardo and Maldini has been made, now Gattuso and Bakayoko will put everything aside and concentrate, together, on the final objective which is to make 9 points in the next three games, to try to recover that fourth place that together had helped to make Milan's habitual home over the past four months. Of words, between Monday evening and this morning, if there were so many, even too many. The two protagonists, after having been sent to that country in a reciprocal manner, have smoothed their positions and given the disqualification of Paquetà (arrived in a completely avoidable manner), Biglia's injury and Calhanoglu's not perfect conditions, to return to coexist becomes a necessity for Milan.

HEAD AT WORK - Tiémoué has not sent down the treatment that has been reserved for him in the last weeks, also because of episodes that have seen him directly protagonist, but after the blow and not non oxfordian print, the parts have reached a point meeting, with sincerity and without holding a grudge. The good of Milan, at this moment, comes before Gattuso and Bakayoko. The Frenchman, who for long stretches of the season was among the best in the field and a fundamental pivot of the team, will most likely return to the Fiorentina side, in a milestone that is always complicated for Milan and where the Rossoneri have not won for over 5 years. We will work together, also to calm the waters in that of London, where Chelsea has followed step by step the quarrels that involve a player of his and rumors from London tell that the blues have not taken very well the global management of the Bakayoko affair , asking for specific updates as well.

FUTURE AT THE END OF THE MONTH - If Milan were to reach the fourth place and qualify in the Champions League, the Rossoneri could think of exercising the right of redemption set at 35 million for the Bakayoko card. Which at a technical level remains one of the best players of the squad currently available to Gattuso. If this is not the case, the company will make other decisions, as stated by Leonardo in the belly of San Siro after the game. And a 35 million ransom for a single player would probably weigh too heavily on the leadership's summer work program. And Bakayoko? Even the player will make his thoughts at the end of the season. Farle, having brought Milan back to the Champions League, could be a source of pride.

Wos found the anti-dots for the most dangerous creature in the world!

The Austrialian Sea Candle is one of the most poisonous living in the world. There may be 60 tentacles, 3 meters long, covered in millions of deadly microscopic hooks.

Scientists at Sydney University have discovered a counterfeit after a study conducted to find out how poison circulates in the human body. Burns that are caused are extremely painful and enough poison has led the victims to cardiac arrest just minutes after the deadly deadly attack. Alas, the antidote may block the symptoms of burns by sea-tailed tentacles, if caught in time, within 15 minutes after the attack.

To 'starve' tumors, the new strategy to fight is revealed

A new strategy to fight cancer by attacking its metabolism has been discovered by Italian researchers who hope cancer cells die from 'starvation'. Let's look together what we need to know about this new cancer treatment.

Cancer and glycemina
 Scientists have discovered that when blood glucose levels lower and the patient is associated with metformin, a reaction that leads to the death of diseased cells and involves PP2A protein occurs. Metformin is a medicine already used against type 2 diabetes.

How does therapy work?
 Saverio Minucci, who led the Italian study, explains that metabolism is one of the keys to focusing on differentiating healthy cells from diseased cells in order to hit the latter, leaving others intact. But how is this possible? Cells use two different processes to produce energy, one being glycolysis, which is based on the availability of glucose, while the other is the oxidative phosphorylation to which metformin acts. Scientists have targeted a phenomenon called 'metabolic plasticity' (that is how the diseased cell suits) to switch from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation and vice versa, in the absence of food. In practice, experts have reduced dietary glycemia and administered by metformin, thus preventing metabolic plasticity and cancer cells die.
And that's not all Scientists have also discovered that the activation of PP2A protein and its molecular circuit is also responsible for killing diseased cells. This is important because not all patients respond to metformin.

The future of research
 Minucci says the study is underway, in fact clinical study may have already begun because the conditions exist. As for us, however, we will have to wait to find even more.

The sword is beaten to death, his partner dies of love

The exciting story between two birds becomes viral. They died a few days away from each other after they had lived together. It's not the story of two people what we're talking about, but the story between two swans. The man was found dead on Friday, possibly stalked to death. The woman could not endure this and left her starvation on Lake Recoaro Terme (Vicencia) where they lived. The couple will be sent to the Zooprofilattico Institute in Venice for the analyzes planned in similar cases, even after investigations and reports drafted by the forestry police, competent for such episodes will intervene for investigation.

Austria, "skateboard" in nature. Sports spectacle in the forest

Some of the best skateboard athletes became the protagonists of an outdoor sports spectacle, right in a park on the outskirts of Vienna, Austria.

They perform spectacular action in a barrier-free environment, some of them featuring all their skills and showing why they are the best in this sports discipline. Present at this special event called "Wheels on Wood" were Canadians Ryan Decenzo accompanied by Gustavo Ribeiro, Giovanni Vianna, Luiz Francisco, Yoshi Tanenbaum and Mauro Iglesias. Decenzo, who became a skateboarding professional in 2010, entered the world of XGames in 2011 by winning the gold at the Game of Sk8 event, while earning a silver medal on Real Street. Canadian shows that he was not sure of what he was expecting when he first learned about the project, as there are no asphalted parts in the woods, but that in the end seems to be a very fun project for him.

Sportmediaset - Bakayoko-Milan, will be divorce. Inter stands out dramatically

According to reports from Claudio Raimondi to Sportmediaset, Tiemoué Bakayoko, despite the clarification that took place with Gattuso, Leonardo and Maldini at Milanello, will leave Milan and return to Chelsea at the end of the season. So much so that, blatantly, Inter would be thinking of entering and trying to blow the player to the Rossoneri in case of non-redemption with the Blues

AC MILAN OFFICIAL NOTICE: Biglia, excluding fractures or injuries. Bone and muscle contusion in the pelvis

AC Milan reports that the clinical tests Lucas Biglia was subjected to today excluded fractures or injuries, limiting the diagnosis to a bone and muscle contusion of the posterior portion of the pelvis. The AC Milan midfielder will be evaluated in the coming days.

Bakayoko and Gattuso quarrel on the bench, the French refused to enter the field

Milan scored 3 points with plenty of value for Bologna, but nerves in the reddish house continue to be strained, especially between coach Gattuso and French midfielder Bakayoko.

The two crashed on Tuesday, after the French arrived in a late hour training, justifying leaving the car's fuel on the road, but this did not escape the harsh reaction of Gattusos, who closed the squad in the crowd. Then the technician decided to leave the bench Bakayoko and to activate the first minute Argentine midfielder Lucas Biglia, but the latter was unlucky, after the 25th minute wanted to leave the field due to an injury. Gattuso immediately returned from Bakayoko and asked him to enter the field to replace the Argentine, but the French refused, causing both of them to start a verbal debate, with the first Milan coach pulling, to push everything into the chambers of dressing. Recalling that Bakayoko is in Chelsea loan with Chelsea, the latter with this last move seems to have sealed the Rossoneri decision not to exercise his right to buy at the end of the season.
