Media: the system of one of the nuclear power plants in Germany have discovered a computer virus – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, April 27 – RIA Novosti. System German Gundremmingen nuclear power plant, located north-west of Munich, has been infected by computer viruses, reports Reuters referring to the statement of the company-operator station RWE.

The viruses did not affect the operation of the plant and did not bear a threat to its security, as NPP computers do not have access to the Internet, the agency said.

Malware was detected on the equipment, resulting in the movement of fuel bars, as well as on multiple computers and USB-drives. According to the agency, one of the viruses – W32.Ramnit – it allows hackers to gain remote access to the system if the infected computer is connected to the Internet. The virus was probably brought in the system in 2008.

The investigation of the incident involved the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Office was not available for comment, the agency said.

Putin told the reason for the cancellation of “Union” launch on the East – RBC

Failed launch of the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2.1a” from the cosmodrome East is not associated with the state of the spaceport, and a missile system, President Vladimir Putin said.

«Despite all the difficulties and problematic issues in general, the movement today [to bring spaceport] to the regulatory status achieved in many ways. Today’s launch failure is associated, as far as I understand from the reports, not with the state of the spaceport, and with the very missile system “- the president said at a meeting of the state commission on launching (quoted by” Interfax »)

The first launch at the cosmodrome. which is under construction in the Amur region, it was to be held early in the morning on April 27 but it was moved to a backup date – April 28. In “Roskosmos” explained that the retreat gave missile launch equipment. Tass source in the space industry said that before the start of a failure was detected in one of the control systems of devices responsible for switching on and off motors, separation stages, the direction of flight. According to “RIA Novosti”, the start could be postponed due to a failure in the “Union-2.1a” boosters management system.

Putin on Wednesday urged a timely manner to respond to disruptions in the space industry. “Russia remains the leader in the number of starts – it’s good, but what we are faced with a lot of crashes – this is bad, and must be timely response”, – stressed he

«If it (failures <.. em> – RBC’s ) due to the sloppiness, a lack of control over critical processes, I want to understand, to see how the debriefing in such cases “, – he added

The head of state will remain on. East before the meeting of the state commission, which will decide on the start. As the President’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, it will take place on Thursday morning. Putin intends to watch the launch, if the Commission decides to hold it in the morning on April 28 said Peskov.

Unknown viruses have infected computers in the German nuclear power plants – Rosbalt.RU

April 27, 2016, 16:19 | hacker | NPP | Germany | virus

 The computer device according to the Bavarian nuclear power station “Grundremmingen” management of nuclear fuel supply found malevolent software.

 The virus, in all probability, was recorded in the office system to an external recording device – “flash” – one of the employees. “The malware” revealed during the preparation of the control unit “B”. Threats to personnel or the population was not, because all the “sensitive” sectors are separated from each other and are not connected to the Internet.

All of the computers affected by the virus have already been cleaned and again in the normal operating mode, said television Bavaria. In addition, have been enhanced security measures software.

 NPP operator intervention ruled out the possibility of hackers. Nevertheless, experts have called to keep vigilant. A regional initiative opponents of atomic energy required to find out how long the virus is in the system.

The German government has decided to completely stop the use of nuclear power after the Fukushima accident in Japan (2011). NPP “Grundremmingen” – one of the largest in the country, according to the plans should be closed until 2021

Sources in rocket space industry have called a possible cause of the abolition of the launch “Union-2.1a” from the cosmodrome East. Automation can detect a failure in the system motor control

As told Tass source in the space industry, decoding the telemetry indicates that the equipment before the start of the identified failure in one of the control systems of devices responsible for switching on and off motors , separation stages, the direction of flight. According to the source, is now “experts versed in the telemetry to identify a specific node to its” ping “and see if it was a false triggering or in fact some sort of device is out of order.” If the necessary spare parts will not, then, “can transfer” for the long term, he said.

A similar version of the results and “RIA Novosti”. According to the source in the industry, with a tart first carrier rocket with the new Russian spaceport could be shifted automatics due to a malfunction in the control system boosters “, 2.1a of the Union.” “We consider several versions of the start of the transfer, of which one – the failure of the control system is responsible for starting the main engines. But this is one of the pre-release versions, telemetry is not yet fully deciphered, “- said the source,” RIA Novosti

News »Earlier Wednesday, a source of” RIA Novosti “admitted that the launch of the” Union “. transferred on 27 April to the backup date can not be held, and 28 of April. According to the source, to postpone the start-up for an indefinite period will indicate the decision to drain the fuel from the launch vehicle. According to the source, until fuel is drained, “Union” is on the grid.

The source of “Interfax” notes that while the state commission did not approve the April 28 date of launch of the carrier rocket.

on the night of April 27, at a newly built space center in the Amur region East it was to be held the first launch, but a few minutes before the start, he was moved to a backup date – 28 April. “Roskosmos” said that the rebound missile launch gave automatics.

The official representative of “Roscosmos” Igor Bourenkov morning, said Wednesday in an interview with “Kommersant-FM», that the cancellation of the first launch from Russia’s new Vostochny cosmodrome is not an emergency situation, and technical failure.

«Telemetry testified that there are problems at the carrier rocket. Now we will check and what. I believe that everything will be fine. Moreover, all experts emphasized that this is not an emergency, but simply a technical failure “, – said Bourenkov

The first launch from the Vostochny cosmodrome is postponed for a day for 1.5 minutes before the start – TASS

MOSCOW, April 27th. / TASS /. The first launch of the rocket “Soyuz-2.1a” with Russia’s new Vostochny cosmodrome, which was to be held on Wednesday at 5:01 MSK, was postponed for a day for 1.5 minutes before the start, the reasons for studying the Commission, but we already know that the starting system of the Baikonur launch cancellation is irrelevant. This was reported in the state corporation “Roscosmos”.

The rocket was supposed to launch the spacecraft “Mikhail Lomonosov”, “Aist-2D” and SamSat-218. The night before “Soyuz-2.1a” was fueled with propellant components by the decision of the state commission, was later approved starting at 5:01 MSK.

“Automation rebound gave the start of a space rocket” Soyuz-2.1a “from the cosmodrome Vostochny . for 1.5 minutes before the start of the backup start date, 28 April, the Commission examines the reasons preserved rebound starting on the findings of the commission will be announced later… “, – said the” Roskosmos “

According to the press reporters Secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, the President arrived at the launch site, Vladimir Putin, to watch the first start. He delayed on the East until they are clarified the prospects for launching a day.

to hang up command has been issued for 1.5 minutes before the start. Prior to that, the speaker at the launch site announced that the first launch postponed for a day. “Bring the launch pad to its original state”, – he said. After this ad speaker all managers work went to a meeting to discuss the reasons for canceling the start.

Before you undo the announcer start command “key on the drain.” As explained by a source in the space industry, this team goes to the team, “board – earth” and separating the mast maintenance and the next start. The “Key to the drain” means closing drain valves, through which went removal of the evaporating liquid oxygen from the rocket into the atmosphere that is visually manifested in white clouds enveloping the missile.

What is important to know about the cosmodrome East

Baikonur do with it

According to the first deputy head of “Roskosmos” Alexander Ivanov, corporation already has internal data on start cancellation, but more needs to find out the exact causes of the commission. “It was not long, but we know the place where it happened, we know why this happened,” – he said,

At the same time, he stressed that the cancellation of the launch is not related to the very infrastructure of the cosmodrome.. “There has been some failure, it is necessary to understand and fix it to the mobile towers or home system is not relevant.” – Ivanov said. He also ruled out the human factor of the possible reasons for canceling the start.

Earlier, a source in the space industry told Tass that the start was postponed for technical reasons.

In turn, the head of “Russian Space Agency “Igor Komarov said that at present the identified problem has been eliminated. “We managed well enough to locate the problem areas, which could all happen, and now works on working out and use a spare set and determine the exact reason”, – he said

The official representative of “Roscosmos” Igor Bourenkov at. it noted that all of the cosmodrome Vostochny system “operate normally, and successfully demonstrate what happens to the launch vehicle.” Automation and telemetry reception at the launch site and working properly. According to him, some emergency had happened. “The system we showed that it is better start to postpone”, – said Bourenkov

Putin remains

Russian President personally came to Baikonur to watch the start and after the cancellation of the start decided to stay on. East until they are clarified the prospects for re-launching, scheduled for April 28.

According to the press secretary of the head of state, Putin on Wednesday morning I arrived in Blagoveshchensk, where went to the East. In anticipation of the planned launch of the president was informed about the work of the spaceport and modes of automation of work.

According to a report on the website of the Kremlin, the President has already held meetings on the second and third stage of the launch site and the construction of the Science Town Tsiolkovsky.

the responsibility to guide

According to the head of state corporation “Roscosmos”, responsible for the abolition of the trigger from the East lies with those in charge of the rocket and space industry. “As usual, the responsibility for what happens in the space sector, is on those people who are engaged in and direct,” – he told reporters.

head “Roskosmos” said the first launch of a new start table and even more so with the new cosmodrome – “this theme of responsibility.” At the same time, he noted that such precedents transfer startup has already happened in the past.

Not the first time

A similar situation occurred in 2014 when the booster rocket “Angara” light class for the first time I was supposed to take off from the Plesetsk cosmodrome on 27 June but tripped automatic cancellation of the launch. He moved for a day, but the launch did not take place and the next day. The rocket took off from the launch pad to carry out additional checks.

As a result of the first test launch of the “Angara” was successfully held on July 9th. The layout of the payload from the second stage of the new Russian rocket light class “Angara-1.2pp” hit the target area of ​​the Kura test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The program of the first flight of a rocket “Angara-1.2pp” removal of objects was not provided into orbit.

At the beginning of this week, on March 26 from Kourou in Guiana Space Center successfully launched a carrier rocket “Soyuz-ST “with European satellites. Its launch also transferred three times in a row, at the same time twice because of unfavorable conditions and once because of a technical problem.

In addition, in early March, was delayed launch from Baikonur rocket with a Russian satellite remote sensing (ERS) “Resurs-P” №3. Initially the “Soyuz-2.1b” was supposed to start on March 12 but due to the automatic shutdown of the engine start-up was canceled and transferred to the backup date – March 13

Scientists have discovered why socks go missing – The Russian Times

British scientists Panel examined socks disappearing problem when washing and could bring “socks loss index,” according to the publication Mirror.

Scientists from the British bestowed upon mankind by the formula ” socks loss index. ” Finally, the average person can easily and easy to calculate the probability of losing a second sock in the wash. Question: “Where could he got lost” will wake up less often, humanity after the discovery of the formula by British scientists was really happy

Socks disappear one by one in the wash, and, right in your own home.. Such happiness as rasparovanny sock nobody gave up, however hard lost socks. Stephen Hawking once jokingly said that the socks do not disappear to nowhere, their black holes are tightened. British scientists have made a calculation formula chance stocking to extinction. It was found that the rate of loss of socks is most associated with the laundry composition, which is loaded into the washing machine. The final formula, or “socks loss index” looks like this:

(L (pxf) C (txs)) – (P x A), where
«L» – is “the volume of the wash “is calculated by multiplying the number of family members (« p “) on the frequency of washes per week (« f »);

« C »- the complexity of the wash, depending on the composition of tissue (dark, synthetic, wool), washable weekly ( «t») multiplied by the number of erasure for the same week of socks;

«p» (love to wash) is subtracted from the amount «L» and «C». Measured «P» on a scale of one to five (where 1 means – “hate washing”). Moreover, “the P” multiplied by “A” – attention to washing (check whether the pockets of clothing, whether the sleeves turned inside)

Sometimes, stealing socks in bulk.. For example, in Moscow, four men stole three hundred forty-seven bales with socks. Threatening with a pistol, the criminals tied up the guards and laid waste to the plant stores LLC “Moselektropribor”. Profit worth four million rubles were taken by three trucks. It becomes apparent that the above-mentioned people are unlikely to climb to you for one toe, and even wear. So who would encroach on it? Further research clarifies the truth to bear their things are hunters – fetishists

One of the brightest representatives of those – James Dowdy, an American, not once has stayed in prison for stealing socks.. Theft fetishist is quite possible, but in this case, such version is rejected due to lack of evidence of the penetration into the apartment. Maybe here and all otherworldly forces involved ?! We appeal to the book characters. The missing sock may be suspected Dobby -. House elf in a series of novels by British writer JK Rowling’s Harry Potter

By the socks from Dobby special affection he enjoys wearing them, several pieces on each leg, and pairing socks do not reflect. Information – thing that Dobby has brought long-awaited freedom, was an old dirty socks. And yet not only wear socks, but also eat. The popular British writer Terry Pratchett described Eater socks -. Inhabitant “Discworld” as being similar to a very small elephant with trunk extended to the end of the

According to some housewives, socks, absorbing and washing machine. Basically, it eats one toe. There is speculation about the “black hole” that occurs during the spin cycle in the drum of the machine, which fly small things. Generally, the parallel worlds of man, little is known, and therefore the imagination of each of us thief socks may be submitted by anyone, for example, a ghostly cowboy, fished sparkling whip thrown in the corner of a sock, the one that brings good luck in his world

Or maybe a sock and do fall into deep space for alien prityazhitelyu scattered things and now energizes an unknown planet … Washing machine – storm socks Stephen Hawking once jokingly said that the socks do not disappear to nowhere, they tighten the black hole. But how many socks disappear to within British scientists have calculated. They made a formula predicting the chances of textile products to disappear. It turned out that the disappearance of socks is most associated with the laundry composition, which is loaded into the washing machine

The final formula ( “loss index socks”) is as follows: (L (pxf) + C (txs)) – (. P x A). «L» it means “the amount of laundry,” – calculated by multiplying the number of family members ( «p») on the frequency of washes per week ( «f»). “C” corresponds to the complexity of the wash: the number of different lingerie types (dark fabrics, synthetic fabrics, wool) is processed in a week ( “t”) multiplied by the number of erasure for the same week of socks

«P» (love. to wash) is subtracted from the amount «L» and «C». Measured «P» on a scale of one to five (where one means – “I can not bear to wash clothes”). Furthermore, «P» is multiplied by “A” – attention to washing (whether in clothing pockets checked whether the sleeve is everted). Socks are mainly black, falling into a hole they stained her formula shows:. The greater the amount of laundry, the greater the likelihood of losing socks

In addition, the researchers identified the main reasons for missing sock: textile articles falling for fall batteries washing in different and are lost, and finally combined with its pair. Whatever it was, and no matter where in fact none had happened to toe, remember there is one – socks in the house, like any other things, should be allocated its own place. Clean and tidy abode close otherworldly portals strangers, and you eliminate the unnecessary hassles in search of clothes!

The construction of the cosmodrome “East” – RIA Novosti

The cosmodrome “East” – a Russian spaceport under construction in the Far East, in the Amur region in the city of Tsiolkovsky area (formerly Uglegorsk village) near the disbanded cosmodrome “free” in accordance with the decree of the Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 6, 2007 RF government decree of 14 January 2009.

“Oriental” is designed to provide training and launch of space research aids, socio-economic and commercial, transport, cargo ships and orbital station modules (platforms), the implementation of programs of manned space flight and promising space for the study programs and exploration of celestial bodies, as well as international cooperation in this field.

Creating it was dictated by the need to expand opportunities for Russia launches spacecraft for various purposes. When choosing the location of the cosmodrome into account many factors, including its relative proximity to the equator and the coast. The Amur Region is the best place to display the satellites in sun-synchronous orbits, where the conduct of observation, they have a constant level and the angle of the Earth’s surface illuminated by the sun, which is very convenient for geodesy and cartography, as well as for many other economic and military purposes.

Order of the President of the Russian Federation from September 1, 2009 only performer of contract work on the creation of the cosmodrome “East” has been defined by the Federal Agency for Special Construction (Spetsstroy Russia). In March of 2016 with Spetsstroy was taken as the only performer of the works.

The total area of ​​the reserved area for the construction of the spaceport is about 1035 square kilometers. “East”, equipped with the latest technology, will occupy an area of ​​about 700 square kilometers (the Baikonur space center area of ​​6717 square kilometers, and the Plesetsk launch site – 1762 square kilometers)

Enter the objects of the cosmodrome “East” in the operation has been. It is divided into three stages. In the first phase (2012-2015) planned to create space rocket complex “Soyuz-2″, objects of social, engineering and transport infrastructure, including the housing of the city (12 thousand people). The second phase (2016-2020) provides for the establishment of ground infrastructure of space rocket complex heavy class of “Angara” to launch spacecraft into orbit and high-manned vessels of the new generation, as well as the expansion of the residential complex (20 thousand people) and the establishment of the airport complex. In the third phase (2021-2030 years and below) is planned to create ground infrastructure to launch the second stage of the launch vehicle of super-heavy class, including lunar missions, as well as the expansion of the residential complex (30 thousand people).

The first launch of the carrier rocket from the Baikonur has been scheduled for 2015, the first launch of a manned spacecraft – for the year 2018. According to the plan the construction work had to be completed before 30 November 2015. full-scale construction of infrastructure and technological facilities of the cosmodrome –

In September 2011, the preparatory construction work, and in mid-2012 were launched. Given the scale of the project, at the beginning of the construction of the “Eastern” proceeded in parallel with the release of the design documentation on it.

At the launch site were laid such design decisions that will allow the buildings and structures, facilities engineering infrastructure, roads and railways serve a long time, given the high load operation and in difficult climatic conditions.

Construction of the project was accompanied by a mass of scandals, criminal cases, removal from office of heads.

Workers cosmodrome repeatedly complained about the non-payment of wages and hunger strikes. Photos from the construction site showed extremely slow progress of construction, despite regular reports Spetsstroy the completion of certain works.

In 2013, the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the Russian government space industry, said that the federal government did not receive full information about delays, and the perpetrators brought to justice. At the beginning of September 2014 visited the construction site Russian President Vladimir Putin said that behind schedule – from one month to two. Coordination of work on the construction of the cosmodrome “East” was transferred from the Russian Space Agency directly to the government. Commission headed by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

In April 2015 the head of the Russian Space Agency said the lag in the construction of the launch complex of the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2″ at the cosmodrome “East” is 120 days.

The construction was completed in May the first stage of the transport infrastructure of the cosmodrome “East”. Builders paved 100 kilometers of railway tracks from the Trans-Siberian Railway to the “East”, was completed the reconstruction of the station “icy” Trans-Baikal Railway, built a new station Uglegorsk with piggyback station.

On June 17, a set of measuring instruments, data acquisition and processing (KSISO) spaceport “East”, which includes a command-and-measurement and mobile measurement points, first received telemetry from the Russian segment of the International Space Station, and on July 3, – telemetry with running a space truck Baikonur “Progress M-28M”. In October, President Vladimir Putin familiarized himself with the work, stated the backlog of the period and allowed to move the first launch from the spaceport since December 2015 2016.

At the end of December, the staff of the cosmodrome “East” received the first order on service housing under construction in the town around it. December 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on assignment in the city area of ​​the cosmodrome “East” in the Amur region Tsiolkovsky names. Proposal to grant under construction in the area of ​​the spaceport of the village on the site of the village of Uglegorsk city status and to assign him a new name was initiated by the Russian government.

In the middle of January 2016 were completed the main construction work on the launch site, providing the first launch sites. They focused on two areas -. Technical and launch complexes

The technical complex is designed to prepare before the start – including fueling. It includes a structure 121. The complex covers an area of ​​170 thousand square meters.

The technical complex consists of two assembly and test systems (one for launch vehicles, one for the spacecraft and upper stages), warehouse launcher blocks and connecting them transborder galleries (for the transport of components of Space Technology) as well as the filling-neutralization plant.

The launch complex, covering an area of ​​45 thousand square meters, is located at a distance of 4.4 kilometers from the technical complex. Between them, laid a special track on which the booster is delivered. “Launching pad” is recessed into the ground a building height of 30 meters, which is equipped with special equipment, providing training and launch of the carrier rocket.

To work on preparation for launch at the launch complex is designed mobile service tower (IBO), which provides access to the personnel, supply of equipment and accessories for all systems of the launcher when it is in a vertical position on the launch cosmodrome system .

A kind of “brain” of the launch complex is command center for processing all the information collected about the status and readiness of the launch vehicle and spacecraft systems. Unlike many other space centers, command post on the “East” is not recessed into the ground, but is a two-storey bunker, located in the immediate vicinity of the launch facility.

March 25, 2016 at the cosmodrome “East” ran out comprehensive tests of the launch complex with the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2.1a”.

At the beginning of April 2016 the Federal Space Agency said that the first ever launch from Vostochny cosmodrome is scheduled for 27 April. The first of the Amur Region will launch the rocket-carrier “Soyuz-2.1a”, which will orbit spacecraft “Aist-2D”, the MSU scientific satellite “Lomonosov”, as well as nano-satellite SamSat-218.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that after the first run for a year at the launch site will be carried out various tests. A full East will work in 2023, when the second stage of the launch site will be completed.

Construction of the second cosmodrome Vostochny queue, including the launch pad for the environmentally friendly carrier rockets “Angara” will begin in 2017.

The definition of a general contractor in all the works of the second phase of construction will be carried out exclusively on the basis of competition.

will be released on 8-10 starts per year in the term “Oriental”. According to adjust the plan, the first manned launch of the rocket with the crew of the International Space Station should be held after 2023.

British scientists have solved the greatest mystery of our time – SoftSraze: actual and objectively

2016-04-26 21:12 | Posted in Science and Technology <-! | author news journalist yegor ->

British scientists have managed to solve one of the greatest mysteries of our time: the lost socks Where disappear. Not only they were able to derive special formula “socks loss index,” wrote Ghhauto.ru.

The Wonders! I woke up in the morning, and a pair of socks was only one second – gone somewhere. Households shrug, pet, hidden in a secluded corner, watching scoured the corners of the host. It happens, and the benefit when the loss is replaced. But the most surprising is that the desired sock disappears without a trace, why the question arises: “Where could he got lost?»

From the collections of newspaper notice: socks enticing thieves, hunted in shops and supermarkets. It’s easy – to disrupt label things, throw it inside his shirt or put on and strode as if nothing had happened, to the exit. That’s only in the digital age go unnoticed is quite difficult, a private security service to convict criminals help camcorder.

In other socks smell so that it is better not to find them

Sometimes, stealing socks in bulk. For example, in Moscow, four men stole three hundred forty-seven bales with socks. Threatening with a pistol, the criminals tied up the guards and laid waste to the plant stores LLC “Moselektropribor”. Profit worth four million rubles were taken by three trucks. It becomes apparent that the above-mentioned people are unlikely to climb to you for one toe, and even wear. So who would encroach on it

A more socks not only wear, but also eat.. The popular British writer Terry Pratchett described Eater socks – dweller “Discworld” as being similar to a very small elephant with trunk extended to the end.

Washing machine – storm socks

Stephen Hawking once jokingly said that the socks do not disappear to nowhere, their black holes are tightened. But how many socks disappear to within British scientists have calculated. They made a formula predicting the chances of textile products to disappear. It turned out that the disappearance of socks is most associated with the laundry composition, which is loaded into the washing machine. The resulting formula ( “socks Loss Index”) is as follows:. (L (pxf) + C (txs)) – (P x A)

«L» it means “the amount of laundry,” – calculated by multiplying the number of family members ( «p») at the frequency of washes per week ( «f»). “C” corresponds to the complexity of the wash: the number of different types of clothes (dark fabrics, synthetic fabrics, wool) is processed in a week ( “t”) multiplied by the number of erasure for the same week of socks. «P» (love to wash) is subtracted from the amount «L» and «C». Measured «P» on a scale of one to five (where one means – “I can not bear to wash clothes”). Moreover, “the P” multiplied by “A” – attention to washing (check whether the pockets of clothing, whether the sleeves turned inside)

socks are predominantly black, falling into a hole they color it

The formula has shown: the greater the volume of washing , the greater the likelihood of losing socks. In addition, the researchers identified the main reasons for missing sock: textile articles falling for batteries fall into different washing and lost, and finally unite not with his pair

Scientists have told us how the shape of the female pelvis during the life – BBC

No matter how much scientists have struggled on the study of nature, constantly improving their methods, it still remains the biggest mystery. Researchers still do not cease to be amazed at how everything has been thought and organized in the living world

<-.! place 8195633, /> science ™ / 2016/04 / 25_a_8195633.shtml, nm2015 / v2 / article / incut, incut1_link - ->

Anthropologists and biologists from Switzerland and Belgium in the course of joint research found evidence that the shape and size of the pelvis in women can change, adapting to the appearance of progeny. Progress in research and analysis of the data published in the latest edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

the human pelvis structure classified to sexual dimorphism, ie, differs in males and females of each other . As a rule, hips in women is wider and more rounded shape than men.

By studying the structure of the female skeleton, the scientists hypothesized so-called obstetrical dilemma. On the one hand, the female pelvis to be relatively wide to facilitate the emergence of babies born, which when properly positioned in utero are headfirst. On the other hand, a narrow pelvis facilitates human bipedalism. Recently, this hypothesis challenged on the basis of biomechanical and biocultural indicators, as well as metabolic processes. However, until the recent studies of Swiss and Belgian researchers was unclear what factors are responsible for the differences in the shape and size of the pelvis in adult men and women

Getting to the scientific work, the researchers have put forward the following hypothesis: during the life of the structure of the pelvis in women specifically is changing, facilitating the birth of children. To test their own hypothesis, the team was invited to participate in the study of 275 women of all ages up to 95 years. The authors used the methods of computed tomography, as well as engaged in geometric morphometry, ie we analyzed the ratio of the size and shape of the pelvis parts. The findings were compared with the existing information on the basin structure in men.

The results showed that before puberty the pelvis structure in boys and girls almost makes distinctions, and all changes occur equally.

Since the beginning of active sexual development that occurs in some girls at the age of 10 years, a change in the shape and size of the female pelvis happens on its own unique laws.

The processes that prepare the female body for the birth of children, completed about 25 years. Scientists note that the period when the differences in the structure of the pelvis in women and men, the most noticeable coincides with the peak of fertility. According to the researchers, the women comes an age average of 25 to 30 years. Biologists have noticed a curious feature: at the age of 40 to 45 years, the structure of the female pelvis continues to evolve, however, change again proceed by analogy with the male. Conversion leads to a reduction in the birth canal dimensions (birth canal – a channel formed by the bones of the pelvic and placed in it the soft tissue through which the fetus and the placenta during childbirth).

The Swiss and Belgian researchers suggest that all changes in the shape and size of the female pelvis, depending on age, may be linked to hormone production during puberty and early menopause. According to biologists, the most actively involved estradiol, which is part of a group of female sex hormones – estrogens. That depends on it, as will be rounded contours of the female figure. Often estradiol called “pregnancy hormone” because it regulates blood flow in the pelvic cavity, runs an increase in uterine size, and is also responsible for the formation of the placenta.

British scientists have discovered the secret of the lost socks – REGNUM

London, 26 April 2016, 10:49 – REGNUM British scientists have unraveled the mystery disappears the second sock and made the formula of probability of his disappearance, reports The Daily Mail.

The research team composed of psychologists and statistics, commissioned by Samsung found out where the lost second sock. In a study of 2 thousand. People were interviewed. They find out the details of their domestic habits and details of clothes washing.

As a result of this work, scientists found that most of the disappearance of the second toe due to the composition of the laundry loaded into the washing machine. Researchers formula for the probability of loss of the second toe was composed. It looks like:. (L (pxf) + C (txs)) – (P x A)

«L» represents the amount of laundry, which is calculated by multiplying the number of family members ( «p») on the frequency of linen washes ( «f»). “C” is the complexity of the washing down of the amount of laundry types ( «t»), which is processed per week, multiplied by the number of erasure for the same week of socks ( «s»).

The designation «P» hidden love for washing, multiplied by checking erasable clothes “A”. “P” is measured on a scale where one score corresponds to the statement “I can not stand to wash clothes».

According to the calculations by researchers formula, the probability of losing the second toe is greater, the greater the volume and the frequency of washes.

in addition, the study disproved the hypothesis astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, have suggested that the socks are tightened into black holes. According to scientists, the socks more often fail for radiators or combined not with his pair.

“Kaspersky Lab” analyzed the DDoS-attacks beginning in 2016 – PC Week / RE

«Kaspersky Lab” analyzed the major trends DDoS-attacks in the first quarter of 2016 and found that their duration is reduced, and the frequency and complexity grows. So, about 70% of attacks last period lasted no more than four hours, and the longest attack lasted 8 days, while in the last quarter of 2015 – almost two weeks. At the same time it increased the maximum number of attacks on one resource: this quarter there were 33, and last – 24.

In the first quarter of Russia remained in the top five countries whose resources are most often subjected to attacks using botnets. In addition, the list includes Ukraine – previously it was not as popular target of DDoS-attacks. The total number of attacked countries has increased from 69 to 74, and the vast majority of attacks, as well as at the end of last year, had only 10 countries – the leaders on this indicator are China, South Korea and the United States.

Easy-to-implement and cost of attack, for example, aimed at plugging a communication channel, gradually giving way to more sophisticated and targeted, such as the attacks on the application. A common example of attacks on applications are trying to bring down the sites under the control of WordPress, which attackers often exploit technology Pingback. It allows you to notify the author of the web post that someone refers to its content on the Internet. Enabling this feature on a WordPress resource management leads to the fact that all the links in the materials published on this website send requests to the sites-originals. Overloading a huge number of requests leads to a malfunction of the original site.

Nevertheless, attacks against the communication channel blockage, still remain valid. Despite the fact that their number has declined compared with last year, rose four times their maximum power – this measure, cybercriminals are taking to overcome the protection of the Internet providers and cybersecurity solutions.

«Today, virtually all telecommunications companies have learned to reflect the most common and are usually simple in terms of the implementation of the types of DDoS-attacks. As a result, cyber criminals are increasing computing resources and are beginning to turn to more complex and expensive, but effective way. A good example – the attack on the application. Calculate it in the flow of these applications users can only use a reliable security solution with intelligent filtering algorithm “garbage” requests, which will help to make the attack financially unprofitable for criminals. Companies, especially those that are available for the business of online services is a key requirement, can no longer rely solely on the ability of Internet service provider “, – said Alexey Kiselev, Project Manager Kaspersky DDoS Prevention« Kaspersky Lab ».

When choosing a means of protection against DDoS-attacks to better focus on service providers, well-proven in the information security market. For example, Kaspersky DDoS Prevention service combines the best practices of companies in the field of protection against online threats and technological solutions to protect the attacked resource in any territory, regardless of the complexity, power or duration of DDoS-attacks.

“Hubble” found in space mysterious “red square” – REGNUM

Washington, April 26, 2016, 08:17 – REGNUM The orbital telescope “Hubble” received detailed pictures unusual double stars and nebulae HD 44179 in the constellation Monoceros, which surrounds incomprehensible red structure consisting of glowing remains of the outer layers of a star, according to Space.com.

The structure resembles the shape of the set of cubes and parallelepipeds, embedded in each other.

The star system HD 44179, which opened in 1973, was removed from the Earth by 2300 light years and consists of two stars and surrounding nebulae, developed from the remains of the outer shells of the star. Its rectangular shape, scientists explain the fact that a pair of star HD 44179 is surrounded by a thick layer of cosmic dust, guiding the motion of gas clouds. Dust attached direction causes the hot gas to create a giant figure in the form of the letter X, is clearly discernible in the picture «Hubble»

. The system and its nebula have a red color that astrophysicists can not explain so far. There is a hypothesis that red glow generated by the properties of cosmic dust, combined with light white dwarf, included in a pair of HD 44179.

Scientists are hoping that new images will help them solve the mystery of the “red square».

Bacteria are able to turn water into ice – REGNUM

Berlin, April 25, 2016, 19:26 – REGNUM German scientists from the Max Planck Institute have studied the molecular mechanism by which the Pseudomonas bacterium syringae turns surrounding its water into ice, reports Science Advances magazine.

Some microorganisms have in their membrane proteins that trigger the formation of ice crystals . Thus bacterium protects itself from damage that is able to pay her the ice formed at close range.

The most famous of these micro-organisms Pseudomonas syringae, which is often used for creating artificial snow and ice. Scientists are interested in this bacterium as a factor in regulating the water cycle and even climate. To study the details of formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules and proteins of bacteria spectroscopy was applied. Protein inaZ, whereby the bacterium surrounding water freezes, creating a sort of template for structuring water molecules, and its hydrophilic and hydrophobic components increase the freezing temperature of water is lowered. In addition, the protein components showed ability to remove heat from the environment.

The study authors noted that before the disclosure of the exact molecular mechanisms of the formation of ice crystals is still far. In addition, their data may be valid only for the bacteria similar to Pseudomonas syringae, and other microorganisms may well use other water freezing methods.
