Wired: Russian Heat, Asian Floods May Be Linked

Russia’s killer heat wave and monster South Asian monsoon floods could be more than isolated examples of extreme weather. Though separated by a continent, they could be linked. Monsoon rains drive air upward, and that air has to come down somewhere. It usually comes down over the Mediterranean, producing the region’s hot, dry climate. This year, some of that air seems to have gone north to Russia. [more...]

Wired: Google Helps Find Simplest Solution to Rubik’s Cube

No matter how mixed-up it is, the Rubik’s Cube can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, say a team of researchers who used computer time donated by Google to run complex algorithms to prove it.That means all the 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions of the Cube require no more than 20 steps to get the Cube in shape.

NASA: Solar Cycle Prediction - Sonnen Zyklus Vorhersage

A solar flare observed in Dec. 2006 by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite

May 29, 2009: An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots.

"If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.

 "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013."  more...

Study: Formation of carcinogens indoors by surface-mediated reactions of nicotine with nitrous acid, leading to potential thirdhand smoke hazards - Studie: Nikonablagerungen in Innenräumen erzeugen bei Luftkontakt krebserregende Substanzen.

"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences"


This study shows that residual nicotine from tobacco smoke sorbed to indoor surfaces reacts with ambient nitrous acid (HONO) to form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Substantial levels of TSNAs were measured on surfaces inside a smoker’s vehicle. more...

3sat-Nano: Störsender verhindern das Schließen von Autotüren. Der Fahrer sollte prüfen, ob sein Wagen verschlossen ist

Hintergrund:
„Ein 60-jähriger Berufsverbrecher soll per Funk versucht haben, Kö - Besucher in Düsseldorf daran zu hindern, ihre Limousinen abzuschließen. Polizisten erkannten den Mann: Er soll mit dieser Masche schon einmal im Jahr 2005 einen Schmuckhändler um Juwelen im Wert von einer Million Euro gebracht haben.“ (Zeitungsmeldungen)

Automatische Funkschließsysteme, wie zum Beispiel als Türöffnung im Auto verwendet, sind gegen Störungen deshalb anfällig, da sie sich in einem gleichberechtigten Frequenzband zum Beispiel 433 Mhz Bereich befinden. Auf dem Markt gibt es Handsprechfunkgeräte, die legal und gleichberechtigt in diesen Frequenzbereichen senden dürfen. Spezielle selbstgebaute Störsender können immer auf dementsprechenden Frequenzen stören.

Fernbedienungen von Autos können beeinflusst werden. Dafür ist es nicht erforderlich den Code der Fernbedienung zu knacken. Viel einfacher geht es mit einem Störsender. Der verhindert das Verschließen der Fahrzeuges, wenn der Fahrzeugbesitzer sein Fahrzeug mit seiner Fernbedienung schließen will, aber nicht darauf achtet, dass keine Rückmeldung, wie Blinken o. ähnliches erfolgt.
