welcome back here whether it's here is a look at the top stories of the week. russia mourns the forty six victims of tuesday's plane crash in the northwest of the country the aircraft caught fire after a crash landing on a major road just at the destination pilot error and poor weather conditions are believed to be the main causes of the tragedy. seen a surge in the number of civilian casualties from naval air strikes in a country where the latest bombing reportedly killed killing fifteen leaving officials say over eight hundred civilians have died since the operation began in march. and demands for greece to impose tougher budget cuts to secure a bailout sparked mass protests at home and outrage at yet another rescue plan within the block that's made predictions that the euro is on the brink of collapse

nineteen countries and forty seven russian regions. and by thousands more the event featured brainstorming sessions with top specialists and market makers consciously forward looking hot topics like revamping nuclear technology revitalizing cities and russia's regional economies and educating new generations to keep up in the knowledge base global environment of course the top tech firms were on hand to show off their skill set to potential investors and partners while the forum functions a good attention grabber for gas from other parts of russia and beyond the brand new tome special economic zone is a place where the push for new high tech sector development is underway year round . two hundred seventy hectares are divided into two campuses one in jason to the well established university center on. the other by the massive petrochemical plant complex in its turn or the zone has a specific mandate to attract innovative residents process intended to ensure applicants have ideas and products to contribute to an expanding knowledge base

state technology there's no high voltage in it the peak power uses is twelve volt this means high reliability of all its components we expect the mean time before. to be thirty thousand which means years and years of uninterrupted operation. the key difference from existing systems is that this one has no blindspot. the manufacturing of the body is similar to the production of printed circuit boards it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. is just one of the many destinations for me. as technology has improved their price of these devices has come down dramatically leading to increased demand for the longer lasting data transmitters. and the applications keep right on expanding. our customers

a lazy day out fishing or the occasional summer swim so you probably won't catch anybody drinking it straight from the source and local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear. is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of tomsk universities in this case from the institute of string physics and material science. filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they are often costly and limited in throughput volume. discovered that instead of straining water. especially treated electrostatically charge material might be used to soak up these elements like a magnet. filters have found a happy customers in rural schools. and other parts of siberia where naturally high iron content is a real danger to children they also help to. meet state regulations with perfect

and near perfect results often stumping the best news the magic material appears to have even broader applications. initially this material was meant to filter. purify it from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite successfully only after that an idea emerged that could address a major problem facing clinical medicine you could even say it's a problem facing all of humankind and that's the developing resistance of microorganisms. so how can this substance help rework in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring any medication applied widely disc it helps low the trend of increased

resistance to such drugs as well as offering a solution for patients like this man whose condition would otherwise be very tough to treat. when he came in we observed a fourth degree burn. at the base of the skull with a significant lesion. cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of pure and bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens hardly susceptible to and to big serial treatment like antibiotics using this material we saw the wound cleared up rather quickly and that the cleaning period roughly coincided with the formation of new granular tissue as a result our patients despite the serious lesions instead of the usual one hundred fifty to one hundred eighty days of active treatment was something this serious recovered in just eighty days. composed of. fabric layers. lies in the absorbent microfiber layer

between these micro tiny. particles. on the layer. the key to the materials effectiveness is the positive charge these microscopic particles are packing when applied to a potential source of infection or harmful bacteria electrostatic forces attract negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressings locking them down in never letting go. but there are currently no analogs in terms of functionality as a rule the septic material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface. simply extracts microorganisms viruses and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is a cut or some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms resistant to antibiotics or not. while the food is pain

a vivid picture of the video vella stressing an action that actually lifting of the microbes is still easier seen in the institute's laboratories where we witnessed a layer of the negatively charged bad guys lining a typical petri dish a small disk of the material layered on top when pulled away the disk really does take off the microbes it contacts. the healing process here happens in an entirely new way. start being healed from the bottom up eliminating the need for skin grafts and no cool scrawny lation tissue is formed the epithelium is restored almost completely pain is either considerably reduced or entirely eliminated all this points to good prospects for this material and its usage for various purposes this is what we are working on along with medical specialists studies are ongoing to find out exactly what he develops does to extract infectious bacteria and why is

president and engineer victor reasons that power demands for heavy machinery will remain consistently high but this size weight and cost of providing the necessary power could be cut several times. they've named eccentrics. there are three stages in the development. technology which essentially continues the work of. we made a transmission with power. at this first stage the device had the upside of low manufacturing costs but it had some drawbacks like noise and intermittent discontinuities in the transmission ratio we managed to eliminate the noise but the energy conversion coefficient. as in the previous version followed already had increased efficiency with almost equal energy input. the large teeth allowed to transfer this force with a ratio several times greater than equivalent involute gear teeth the grandfather concept was. produced in the late twenties by german engineering.

systems needs just two channels for the two eyes in order to create a broader zoom for serious competition. significantly greater numbers of channels or cameras from five to eight or even up to twenty eight as a result will have better image quality but there are a bunch of drawbacks such systems are rather complex to operates and require a tremendous amount of data storage space also it's not easy to edit to compress to transmeta all to receive such huge amounts of data applying an approach when just one more type of data information about image depth is added to the existing picture is more efficient because it makes use of existing equipment and channels for data transmission. where working mainly on problems of preparing through a serial of broadcasting receiving into coding. we have developed special
