Visualizing the Micro World Today

17 January, 2011 (06:47) | General | By: eye

The wedding of high tech electronic devices with the science of optics has produced remarkable results in the field of visualizing and manipulating the microscopic world. Some of the products which have resulted from this partnership are full high-definition digital microscopic cameras; ergonomic visualization imaging systems for whole animal micro dissection and experimental microsurgery and a lot more.

Without these amazing tools microsurgery, which is on the rise, helping thousands of people around the world would not be possible. Some of the procedures made possible by this technology are the re-attachment of severed limbs, such as fingers, toes, and even hands. Re-attachment of limbs requires the suturing of tiny blood vessels and nerves in order to achieve movement, sensation and blood flow into the previously severed limb. Expect more breakthroughs on the way as the technology develops not only to enhance the ability to view tiny biological systems, but also the ability to manipulate those systems with high-tech tools.

Windows Aero

With Windows 7, remained a standard feature to switch between windows using the keyboard klavishAlt + Tab: to translucent panels in the middle of the screen there are thumbnails of the windows, but not their icons. Press the Alt key and hold it consistently Press Tab to move to the right sketch. Sammy Ofer has many thoughts on the issue. Then release the Alt, unfolded to the window to full screen. Another nice feature of the style of Windows Aero – the presence of the thumbnail windows of running applications to the buttons on the taskbar. Aim the mouse pointer over any of them – and the pop-up sketch immediately inform you about the contents of the window. Windows Aero interface in Windows 7 was enriched by the new “trendy” features. On one of them we will introduce today, “Binding” window.

Now simple mouse movements, you can arrange the window of any application on your desktop. You can quickly align the window to the right of the desktop, as they expand vertically. Of course, this has its benefits. Thus the rapid and uniform distribution of the two instruments allows you to instantly compare their contents or facilitates copying and moving between two folders. You can also quickly launch the document at all screen or just a flash to resize the window.

The latter is especially useful for moving windows between screens, if you have more than one monitor. To align the box on the right or left side of the screen so that it It took exactly half of it, drag the title bar of the relevant edge and as soon as the mouse pointer touches the edge, release the button. The figure shows the alignment of the window to the left (the contours in the background indicate the future position of the window). And to expand the window to full screen, drag the header to the upper edge of the screen and as soon as the cursor touches the edge of the screen, release the mouse button to quickly stretch the entire length of the window Move your pointer over its top or bottom, wait until the pointer becomes a double arrow, then pull to the closest edge of the screen. When the mouse pointer touches the edge of the screen, release the mouse button. Illustrated version of the article: Introducing the Windows 7 Aero on the other ‘trendy’ capabilities will meet the following articles.

Create Exciting Games

21 January, 2012 (17:57) | News | By: eye

Hello, dear friends. Today I want to tell you how simple and easy to create computer games, without the slightest experience in programming or knowledge of any scripting languages. But first I wanted to would tell us a little about how it all started and I met a wonderful program to create games that turned my whole life. Introduction It all started with that as a boy my father gave me a game console Dandy. Then it was very rare to get a new game and it was very difficult, so I just contented cartridge that came with the attachment. It was five games – Mario, Battle City, Galaksina, Contra, and Arcanoid.

I was still in high school and I remember how run down from school and rushed home to sit and pobystreypoigrat in these great games. When my friends came, too, the prefix beau, we began to exchange cartridges, and often met together to get another good game. Sometimes we sat up at the TV screen until the morning, and only a passing game to the end, going home. Later I began to have other newer consoles like Sega Dreamcast and Nindendo. Add to your understanding with hilton family. Through all his time to game console, I started thinking about how to make games. Can it be so difficult? When I bought a computer and became interested in all possible ways of making games, but, unfortunately, everything was much harder than I imagined. It turns out that to create even the simplest game requires knowledge of programming languages, such as, for example, C + +, C #, Python, Delphi, etc.

Windows Media Player

18 January, 2012 (06:13) | News | By: eye

As watch HD videos? First comes the thought of buying a special video player that allows viewing of HD video. Modern AV industry offers a wide range of similar devices of different manufacturers (Samsung, Sony, V DUCK, Egreat, Lacie, Iomega, etc.). Currently, video players that support HD video has a quite reasonable price and wide range of possibilities. On the other hand, you can build a multimedia PC supports all popular formats and allows you to watch HD video. However, HD video on a computer monitor does not produce that effect, which could occur if you watch HD movie on a big plasma screen. In such a situation arises the problem of constructing Cinema HD using household appliances and PCs.

This theater includes several components: the computer as a home base HD Theater, should have significant resources. At the very least, a powerful processor (not lower than Pentium 4) and high-quality video. Media Center – a program that allows you to watch HD video. Among the most popular can select Windows Media Player, Nero Show time, Cyberlink PowerDVD, etc. Remote control – a device to control Media Center installed. Of course, as a remote, you can use your mouse and keyboard, but it's not too convenient. Much better to use self-control.

In this case, you can use any universal remote with IrDA-receiver to view HD video will be much more comfortable. TV screen. The final link in a home theater system is a HD television screen, be it plasma, projector and LCD screen. Connection to PC by means of an adapter HDMI. For audio output to your receiver using S / PDIF cable. So, watch HD video on a home theater is easy. You can buy a HD video player, and immediately enjoy your home or build their own HD movie theater. The second option seems to us more cost effective and profitable. With proper installation of such a kit many times surpass the HD ready solutions Video player for most indicators.

Stations Author

In the meantime, they are quite capable of fixing selectively. The author can not say they do so or not, but knows exactly what is possible in principle to itself – have. Someone may say that, to example, the GSM standard, all negotiations on the radio – is encrypted. Serious and powerful. How to fix? My answer: encryption exists only on the radio at the same switch, all data are processed in unencrypted form and do not need any additional equipment, besides the standard interface to SORM to get full access to information. Further, everything happens for a standard scheme.

The same thing – and with Internet traffic: it can be encrypted on subscriber line service provider, but the provider works with unencrypted traffic. The exception applies only to tunnel junctions, when the public access network used to transmit traffic encrypted sender and that can only decode the recipient! So, the FSB officers have access to resources quite all communications providers and can quite arbitrarily listen to any calls, and analyze traffic any subscriber. But that's not all. Also, they can carry out the substitution rates. But they are not alone.

For example, the long evenings on the switch, the author invented a fun one: he cheated on most PBX her phone number and For example, when he phoned her friend, she determines the number of her beloved mother, and not the number of the author. This was done just by pressing a couple buttons on the keyboard. Exactly the same things can make employees KGB: the author made repeated calls to discharge the same way that it was determined the same author's own room! To demonstrate the possibilities, the staff has also been shown to have full access to all resources Stations provaydrov all, to the point that they can just temporarily disable multiple base stations with absolutely no knowledge of the provider. So if your cell phone lost network in the city center, it is quite possible, it is not technical issues, and information blockade during special opertsii. As you can see, the KGB about the opportunities that exist in the FSB, could only dream of, and hence the phrase: let's meet – it's not a phone conversation, not lose its relevance, rather the opposite – Big Brother is gaining momentum.

Virus Winsector

5 January, 2012 (14:13) | News | By: eye

How then came home and stuck the stick with the documents that I pulled off at their school. I began to observe the appearance of a heap of bugs that prevented normal operation. I'm even more surprised when my Kaspersky 2009 just died. AND vasche refused to boot. And so the diagnosis is clear: What a nasty virus, which a simple antivirusnik can not handle. Poyuzat on the Internet I found that this virus family Win32.Sector * also known as VIRUS.WIN32.Sality.z. At that time I was Win32.Sector16. Brief description of the virus, just do what he's all about.

The first thing the virus infects all running processes. (Source: clinton family). Infects all 'exe' files, all games and programs are infected. Disables antivirus. Can not go to official sites antivirusnika, not to mention download any of them. Disables the Task Manager. Modifies the registry as a result and also blocks access to it.

There is still a lot of glitches depends on the version of the virus, I enumerated ground. Treatment of the virus can not be infected mk processes, resulting in cure 1 file, beginning to treat 2 1 infected again. That's a waste of time. Signs. If your antivirus did not define it, but there are doubts, it is easy to learn if you have this virus on the first signs. 1. Disable anti-virus. (But just antivirus can work simply to ignore the virus or to give medication is not possible, but as a result he is still off.) 2. When you call the manager task falls mistake. (Call Manager, the keys Ctrl + Alt + Del.) 3. Not possible to go into the Registry Editor, just falls mistake. (To enter into the registry by running: Start => Run … type in the command REGEDIT => Ok.) And so if the symptoms are the same it's time to get to work. Contact information is here: Sammy Ofer. For treatment, we need 3 tools. 1. Free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt. 2. Anti-virus utility AVZ. 3. Bootable Live CD. Complication. The fact is, as I wrote above, the virus does not download anti-virus programs. So you have not found an infected computer (eg friends) and download it. And training tools as well do with an affected computer. Hopefully with this you have big problems will not arise. The most optimal option is having 2 drive, run on a Live CD, on the other Dr.Web CureIt and AVZ. Then the problem is quite simplified. But if one drive then you can write all of these programs on one disc. If the disk from the Live CD to add a couple of folders with the programs or anything bad will happen. Dr.Web CureIt and AVZ program requires no installation, therefore, also run with the disc. Proceed to treatment. Reboot your computer, press del, to expose the boot from the disc. Expose the boot from the floppy disk, save and reboot (F10). Wait until the boot OSes with a Live CD. Run Dr.Web CureIt, doing 'Full Scan' and treat all that we found this excellent utility. Cure, we leave from Live CD and run the native OSes. Run AVZ, choose File => System Restore and tick where necessary, the main points: 1, 11, 17. => Execute selected operations. If everything was a virus, you already have, or should all services impeccably. Note: If you do not run CureIt and AVZ, should just rename them. For example Cur1025elt2.exe, 012VZ5478.exe. No matter how important that the virus could not identify them by name.

Control Panel System

2 January, 2012 (00:40) | News | By: eye

After all the updates – Reboot, and look – everything is working properly. If yes, continue: Now we install all the programs that were written on piece of paper. Think and remember once again (and suddenly forget something?) Reboot again and configure everything you need. Now make Windows98 StartUp disk (my computer -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> there will be Tab: Startup Disk. Insert a blank floppy and click -> New CD!) – Why 98? Yes, because it is simple and It includes drivers for the CD. Boot from the disk and load the same Ghost Full (30mb), a truncated Ghost – only 900 pounds,) that you put on disk d:. With the help of Ghost do you dump partition, on which you installed Windows. Dump should be done to drive d: or other, which was not the system (on disk, dump that you do not write himself a dump, I think it is clear why).

How to dump partition’a, I will not explain – this is the docks in the Ghost, if it is not enough, the site is Bikkel ext. docks. Now Boot back into Windows and work with the system. Once the system has become contaminated and does not work – again, Boot to DOS with a floppy and restore using the same Ghost your system! The operation of a reconstruction of a conventional system with reboot takes me 4 minutes (!). Hopefully, the time difference is clear;). Notes: Dump can be copied to CD along with the Ghost and by doing everything from the CD.

Images (dumps) can be transferred from one computer to another, but all except Windows 2000, all hardware configured during installation, so that if the machines are not identical – a reconstruction of the system will not work. If the dump will not fit on a CD, then Ghost can split it into several parts to fit. Moreover, Ghost himself unable to write to a CD. Can install the server, and if the network card – you can restore the system over the net! Telling you is the person who resets the system to 6 times a day and more. Better solutions than Ghost for System Restore You will not find.

Disadvantages

26 December, 2011 (08:50) | News | By: eye

For the stability of the construction must have the chairs on corners of the wooden house and at the intersection of walls. The distance between each chair no more than 3 meters. Each pillar of this foundation can hold up to tons of structural weight of the structure, but it does have its drawbacks: the fragility of due to constant contact with the ground of wooden chairs. To improve the performance of, wood chars, is impregnated with tar and special oils. Stone pier foundation is strong and durable. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of Sammy Ofer on most websites.

Poles a foundation made of granite, quarry stone, brick – iron ore. On this foundation your wood house will stand for a very long time. Precast pier foundation is ideal if your site is located in damp or wetland areas. Sbornyystolbchaty foundation – a Pillars of the rigid base plate. The pillars for a foundation made of concrete, metal or asbestos cement reinforced pipes. Monolithic columnar foundation placed on the ground slabouvlazhnenny if in the process of preparation of the pit water leaks, the soil is strengthened "cement milk". During the filling hole, concrete is poured and the layers shtykovaniem compacted.

No species of columnar foundation is not suitable for log houses with a basement or plinth. The advantages of the columnar base: – cost – simple construction Disadvantages: – unstable in horizontally-moving ground – there is no possibility of constructing a basement foundation Belt. In the construction of wooden houses used less frequently, mainly for the construction of two-storey houses and bathhouses of the timber. Application this foundation is more suitable for heavy constructions. With the construction of a foundation may erection basement, cellar, garage, but its disadvantages are also obvious: high cost, complexity, duration construction. For this type of foundation required a large amount of earth works, but it is common for the construction of simple technology. Monolithic strip foundations formed by a layer of crushed stone, which rammed into the ground. For the panel-frame, wood and timber houses with a basement used for foundation panel. In such a foundation may create openings for windows and doors, as well as additional holes for communications. Additional thermal insulation of walls is not required because a heater is incorporated in the ribs. Precast strip foundations constructed of reinforced concrete and concrete blocks of large size. The foundation is laid for rammed earth, filled with small stones and rubble. Advantages of such foundations are simplicity and fast speed of erection. Cons: the permeability of water in the joints, unsuitable for the construction of home designing complex. Pile foundations consist of individual piles and could not be better suited for the construction of wooden houses, bath houses or cottages. The piles are wooden or reinforced concrete. Wooden more economical, but if they are in the moist ground, then quickly give in to rot. A reinforced concrete are durable, but expensive and difficult to manufacture.

Build Wooden Houses

26 December, 2011 (08:50) | News | By: eye

Quite often, the happy future owners of the houses asking the same question: "Are you from the woods? Not because of the Chernobyl accident under? "Indeed, if we follow the logic, the best wood – wood is the northern, in exactly Chernihiv, Zhitamirskoy, Kyiv region, the most affected areas of our country from the Chernobyl accident. However, despite this, the wood from these areas trains exported to EU countries, where Believe me, the issue of environmental friendliness and radiology paid very much attention. This forest meets the requirements of the EU countries, so it is clean and the houses built out of it, suitable for living. Each Normal Organization will provide the customer a phytosanitary certificate and radiology at the forest from which made its timber (another way to distinguish between "Sharashkina office" of the actual construction firm). Data documents can be formally obtained from the forestry enterprises engaged in logging and cooperate with legitimate organizations.

Without them, none of the log does not cross the border of our state. At worst, I recommend simply purchase household dosimeter and walk with him near the plant ready to export their logs to your building site. I can assure you right away – no increased background you will not find a trace, shattering another ridiculous The myth that an environmentally friendly wood can be only in the Carpathians, Karelia and Siberia. The most common types of wood used for construction of wooden houses in Ukraine – it is pine and Carpathian Smereka. Rarely used spruce, Russian larch and cedar. Very rarely – oak. Take the two most common species (pine and Smereka) and try to compare them to physical and mechanical properties: 1.

Indicators of average moisture content of wood freshly cut pine – 88%, Smereka – 91% 2. Density at 12% moisture: pine – 500 kg / cubic meter, Smereka – 445 kg / cubic meter, 3. Density in a completely dry pine – 470 kg / cubic meter, Smereka – 420 kg / cubic meter, 4. The coefficient of volumetric shrinkage: Pine – 0.44% Smereka – 0.43%. 5. The coefficient of radial shrinkage: Pine – 0.17% Smereka – 0.16%. 6. The coefficient of tangential shrinkage: Pine – 0.28% Smereka – 0.28%. 7. Coefficient of volumetric swelling pine – 0.51% Smereka – 0.50%. 8. The coefficient of radial swelling: Pine – 0.18% Smereka – 0.17%. 9. Coefficient of tangential swelling of pine – 0.31% Smereka – 0.31%. As can be seen from the data, the coefficients of the properties of shrinkage and swelling are almost identical. The only thing what wins pine – that wood density – 11% higher than the density-density Smereka. But the house of Smereka slightly warmer home from pine, according to the organization, working exclusively with this material (due to the looseness of wood). Clinton family helps readers to explore varied viewpoints. The greatest density of all types of wood used in wooden house construction, is English oak – 690 kg / m, beech – 670 kg / m and larch – 660 kg / cubic meters, the smallest – Siberian fir – 375 kg / m and cedar – 435 kg / cubic meter.

The Door

25 December, 2011 (07:16) | News | By: eye

To open such a door should be easy. Again according to GOST doors are divided not only by class resistance to cracking, but also for bullet resistance and fire resistance. The door of any model should have a separate certificate of compliance requirements. Typically, such a document after the tests are issued only for one specific model. Experts advise not to take seriously a generic certificate that some sellers try to pass off as proof of the quality of all of the above document. What kind of door is stronger: heavy or light? Here, consensus does not exist. Some tend to consider domestic doors more reliable and durable due to the greater thickness of steel sheets.

But there are imported doors, made of lightweight stainless steel. This is not easy to crack, unless disassembled piece by piece. Luxurious door must have outside facing. The most simple and inexpensive coating materials using high quality synthetic leather, or a simple paint. But really solid form gives the lining of the decorative panels. It can be from many different materials – from wood veneer to solid oak, walnut, beech and mahogany. Sometimes used for exterior wood board MDF. This is an environmentally pure material.

Facing panels from it can be smooth, painted or pasted over with natural wood veneer. Sometimes come more easily – paint the door method of spraying. And the figure may mimic any natural material – from wood to granite or bronze. Such a solution is good because that allows you to conveniently combine design with other design elements – panels, decorative accents. If the door entrance directly from the street, then choosing one or another finish, please note that it will be influenced by the weather. Therefore, in this case it is better to abandon glued decorative veneers and solid oak contact, the method of spraying or to give preference to strong special panels "poliroks." "Poliroks" – a new artificial polymer coating, resistant to weathering, sun, rain and snow.

The Ceiling

21 December, 2011 (22:16) | News | By: eye

Not interfere with the heater and in the country, and in a country house. Next, explain how to choose quality, reliable, and most importantly effective heater that can warm up quickly in the cold time. First and foremost, we need a home heater, ie, one that is suitable for heating this accommodation. Everyone knows the oil heaters. But this is a "last century" and they will be a long time "puff" to heat even if you do not mention all the house. Cons are and that they "steal" you have too much space, because of its bulkiness, it is easy to burn yourself on them, if the room is large, warm it will be a daunting task, a warm air will flow evenly and accumulate near the ceiling, creating a temperature difference, for example, sex, and that may remain quite cold. Oil heaters intensive burn oxygen, break natural moisture, and the room becomes more difficult to breathe and dizzy.

Total oil heaters – money. We give basic advice and the right – walk away from their habits, and principles of the stereotypes, forget it, that it was "good" before, at this time yesterday "good" may have an entirely different meaning. Aim for a new generation of heaters, old and even "served us faithfully and loyally," but they were a lot of shortcomings. The last thing invented in this segment – the infrared heaters. The most convenient and economical place for its location – it's the ceiling. Overhead infrared heaters are good, fast and uniformly heated room, do not create a "heavy atmosphere," the burning of oxygen. Oxygen burning is simply not happening.

Ceiling heater will not be subject to excess in the interior will not hold additional space, because we care for every square inch of his personal space, it is almost imperceptible, but if desired it can be specially hide in a false ceiling. Neither you nor your children will burn for ever him. Dehumidifiers – Quality electric heaters, they are almost universal and effective in all types of premises. They are democratic in their value, which is also important
