then forty five degrees below zero has to work properly whether. it has to work in the rain or any other weather. the torch has to function in. when there's low pressure which is important. to which is it will be produced especially for this purpose. for the torch can be used to light the cauldron in sochi next year it's got quite a busy travel schedule ahead of it it will make its way all over russia being carried by many of the country's biggest and brightest personalities the list of those carrying will likely include some. side lines as their cold weather compatriots carries the national banner into competition. over seventy. and flown over to moscow from there it will be taken on a whirlwind one hundred twenty three day tour around russia is slated to pass through nearly three thousand cities and to cover around sixty five thousand

kilometers in the process. of fifteen thousand olympic and paralympic torches will be built specially designed to deal with whatever the russian winter throws at it rain wind or snow the olympic flame and ideals it represents simply won't be extinguished. the journey to this point started five and a half years ago when russia's and vicious plan was chosen. the olympic park in a company. the water's edge amid sochi subtropical weather in an effort to make the experience more accessible for visitors all the coastal cluster will be within a ten to fifteen minute walking distance. has had to be built from scratch what you see today is completely unrecognizable from what was here just a few years ago but that's only half the story here in sochi some fifty kilometers away. jumping sliding another down nope. given the commute between the

from the ground up. to make sure everything is working. the world's attention the technology required to create such breathtaking displays. is a major part of the task. so far the results speak for themselves. i like to track the ice is getting better every day is becoming. i think the track was designed properly. in the case . the course is really priority number one. to help keep over the top speed. keep an eye on the potentially dangerous. to make the track traditionally ammonia and freon have been the two main ways to keep big things cool . have always been valued for the relatively low cost. that's been balanced against

their overpowering smell and serious toxicity on the other hand. and is totally odorless which actually may make for more difficult to spot. in recent decades as qualities have become better known a major reason. for doesn't have. any kind of smell. it's a heavy gas and in case of major leaks it settles down to the ground. presence there so if they enter a room with a freon leak they can experience oxygen deficiency which may result in poisoning or even death. so while the track doesn't use the dangerous freon. pumping throughout. the company responsible for producing

first. in case of a leak they have three levels of warning depending on the concentration of whole sections of the piping can be closed off. prior to implementing these systems it would take fifteen to sixteen minutes for information about emergencies to reach those who needed it at times it was even covered up now it's impossible to conceal this kind of data. the company actually developed some produces a wide array of different detecting sensors they run the gamut from electro chemical catalytic to acoustic heart they all have fast acting technology after going through calibration and testing here at. the ready to be plugged in for round the clock contamination monetary. if you need to magically it's constantly running constantly doing what it's supposed to do and in the case of an emergency within forty seconds. transmitted to trigger the warning system and

hard work blood sweat and tears the majority of aspiring athletes will never reach these peaks of professional sport. searchers working with the university of physical culture. are looking to harness the latest technology to get aspiring athletes over that hump his potential is dangerous and illegal doping isn't an option the new secret to success may lie in element ever present in the air we breathe but longer looked. over one hundred years ago. travers' a novel finding certainly practical applications for. the one nine hundred thirty s. . and a bit later in operations. in medicine that all could be changing. thanks to work being carried out here at the institute of medical and biological problems xenon could be on the verge of

a major revival. amongst the hyperbaric chambers where many of the country's divers and astronauts have gone through pressure chamber tests and training docs are taking a look at just what has to offer. in recent years what used to be observable favorable side effects of base and has become objects of inquiry in their own right. the how the gas interacts with receptors are still under study initial trials and experiments have shown that xenon and its neuroprotective properties can relieve stress anxiety and even help addicts get over withdrawal symptoms. and if we talk about the production of. there's no better place to look in the business for over twenty years. company officials place their market share. at around one quarter of total demand. for most of their history though the company has primarily dealt with so-called
12:52 am
technical xenon that is not for human ingestion but over the years as the gases and medical benefits have grown the demand for alter peers seen on has followed accordingly. other noble gases are all around us all of the time they exist in such small quantities that getting our hands on them require sophisticated machinery and no small dose of know how as a result there's a very limited number of countries currently able to capture scene and then put it to use for human kind. you know if for me to portray it as all of us who are only in producers worldwide extracted from air there are only five countries they produce it commercially the united states france germany russia and ukraine. is recovered as a byproduct of oxygen production it's large mental or physical factories its plants special air separating machines oxygen and also generate as an encrypted mixture as

a byproduct of the next of those to gases is then shipped to us before the refining which we manufacture for medical purposes the mixture requires extra cation. and they will produce is ninety nine point nine nine nine nine percent edition only we also limit the share of harmful impurities in the gas our refining isn't paid indeed unique and allows us to remove all these impurities entity in pure medical xenon it can further be used for surgeries and all kinds of other treatments and. at the end of the process they get nearly ready to be sent on to clinics and hospitals under the brand name med at the moment is still rather expensive especially when compared with other and statics. argue that when you take into account problems in complications associated with other gases the prices come

closer together before the medical gets into the hands of a qualified doctor every batch is tested and checked for purity. requires them to control for six kinds of impurities they go the extra mile and control for a full tin as a result. the medical produced here is around two to three times lower than regulators demand. every year we discover new particular he's using xenon as an anesthetic as a result. of an absolutely new ways to play. this is a truly unique medicine it is totally harmless to humans but at the same time. it can be used to treat just about any organ in the body depending on what the problem is with but which. has many potential applications researchers here are specifically interested in how it can improve the performance

of athletes they recently organize an experiment to lay the groundwork for future use in sports. to be a very strong stress protector. in other words cases involving stress whether it be acute a chronic stress the best way to deal with it is small therapeutic doses of this substance and when we talk about spilled before competition with an athlete needs to relax sleep well and improve functional capacities with this experiment we're trying to see just how xenon can help. so over a ten day period a group of young athletes were given a controlled dose of and had a healthy vitals monitor said research is allowing doctors and scientists to better understand how the gas actually interacts with the body's organisms as well as working out the best way to. after taking in the.
