as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the average bulgarian and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen ghodsee a professor at bowdoin college who has extensively talked to bulgaria protesters claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and that people are actually becoming the communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the

better ball gary's chances believe me but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to technology update despite our five senses not everything is quite what meets the eye this episode looks to shed some light on divine. they give

us a glimpse i was hiding just out of sight. remember. the wind changed everything. was nearly unthinkable until. today the quest to gaze. on. the competition. fifteen hundred clever ideas. for the project the leading innovation for helping society. project. but in addition to the. activity going on.

to show off the latest developments on their path. to get an up close and personal view of the country. taken home one of the top competitors from. the. electronic nose business. spectrometer is being taken to the front lines of the. device can help police save lives.

equipment. evil doers. sniffer dogs. they're great at explosives. but they have one major disadvantage a dog is really only able to work a maximum of thirty minutes before needing a rest. only. a dog isn't able to tell you. it can only signal that something is there. then it's up to the explosive.

very often putting their own lives at risk to do so also every dog is different simply. in contrast. compared to.

spectrometers can identify what. compounds. so far have been selected for their usefulness in the field. and. can add. many of those one significant. thought. actually. functionality.

failed. so far. more than two hundred. clear orders from the country's biggest security agencies could. potential terrorists only think about but in reality the most dangerous things might be. to take a. make up of the. state physics scientists have. hoped would help. some of the longest running.

to my apparently untrained mind. spectroscope developed here was the best way to get the answers that we were looking for. now in theory there's a wide array of potential methods of analysis each possessing its own benefits and shortcomings for example. exceptionally precise. and expensive and there's mass spectrometry which also carries a pretty hefty price tag infrared spectrum scopes can be less expensive complex sample prep work and excludes gas samples then there are traditional chemical analyses applications of which are more limited and require extensive training in many cases though spectroscopy is the best just not for investigating dark colors. contains a coloring agent whose luminescence spectrum is too intense for us to observe any individual molecule vibrations that we would usually need to register in order to

identify the composition of the substance in question in short the spectrum of the coloring agent makes it impossible to observe any spectra of the combinational scattering which would be otherwise visible. just because our idea. doesn't mean that the inspectors are five thirty two market can't perform a litany of other tests to help. show that a soda free from colorings yields the results we were looking for the three main peaks correspond to water sugar and acid thank you. the voice can be used for nonscientific purposes that is for practical tasks as for example in the analysis of gemstones it's always interesting to know what impurities the gemstone has because they help us to find out more about the stone itself to identify its origin . it sheaves this by creating and investigating what's called the scattering

correctly to laser beam hits the molecules they become excited and begin to vibrate that scatters or refracts the laser light had a slightly altered wavelength the device is internal c.c.d. sensor measures the shift of the wavelength those alterations are then compared against the system's database of rom and shifts in terms of jim it allows anyone operating the inspector five thirty two to tell if they're looking at a fake or something much more precious. one of the achievements we take pride in is the high spatial resolution of devices . this becomes especially apparent when the device is attached to a microscope. with a resolution of around one micro meter you can obtain an individual spectrum every square my current of the surface. this enables us to present ourselves as a major player on the serious scientific research device market. one of our

latest achievements is measuring graphing. but only devices such as ours can identify a layer of graphing which is this thin as one atom grows on the substrate material . the inspector team manages all this by employing a thirty make a laser that emits a five hundred thirty two nanometer wavelength the c.c.d. sensor is designed to work at room temperature and has been specially designed to suppress other physical processes like raleigh scattering that can interfere. that means the resulting analysis is just as accurate as anything else out there on the market and does it in a matter of seconds and it's automatic recognition software alerts us to what's right in front of our noses but a knowable without specialized equipment even at places as idyllic as moscow's patriarch's pond there are hidden dangers all around and the first set for protecting yourself again is knowing the potential risks. to the plane

actually radioactive particles everywhere they come from the sun space naturally occurring objects to drive the point home. showed elevated radioactivity from a simple. we can measure the radiation background radiation is pretty low so ciro point zero eight but it will gradually go up. the ideal for that extremely compact . was spurred on by the nuclear disaster in fukushima japan while the immediate threats to those in the vicinity were clear right away the experience has left many people concerned about extraordinary and every day radiation. looking for a way to give people more peace of mind this moscow based innovator got to work designing his own smartphone powered. the device can help people better understand the risks that simply aren't visible for example the paint used in this old compass

is still radioactive particles that are easily measurable but the right equipment. we already have a whole line of software products and devices for various smart phones. laptops books with varying levels of complexity on the market from simpler and less expensive models to more sophisticated versions. but of course the idea of checking radiation levels is far from a new one ever since people understood the risk of radioactivity there's been the trusty but often cumbersome geiger counter to measure it the device is characteristic clicking sound has long let the user know if the plate of food in front of him or her is safe to eat each audible click is an incoming radioactive particle being. since its introduction models have become more portable is simply

taking that tradition into the future. the next version of. which we're calling conductor version. we're also working on a totally new generation of the device which will employ. at the moment though those plans are just that plans on paper to make the technological leap the company needs new investments which could be coming in the very near future. the company expects to hear back from. a sizable grant that could give them the resources they need to move those next generation radiation detectors from paper to the production line. the company's anxious to get that going because according to certain estimations there could be a major so. we can see fairly high demand across the world. especially in southeast asia and japan recently we ordered

a marketing research report from a japanese company basically based on very calculations they believe that if these devices were launched on the japanese market today in the first month we would sell around forty to fifty thousand of them and over the course of a year sales would total some five hundred thousand. from that point the market would stabilize and show its true capacity. overall. the japanese market is. ready to accept some three to six million devices per year. well annual global demand here and again this is according to the marketing research report would likely be around ten to fifteen million devices. and as a wise man once said knowing is half the battle. enables users to note on a unified map of where they found an increased levels of radiation that could then

in theory be used to inform government agencies or interested citizens with a handful of accidents ingrained in our collective memories that information is of concern to people all over the globe presently there are some one hundred seventy five million living within seventy five kilometers of major nuclear reactors of course everyone's hoping for fully safe operations but now your own dosimeter is never more than an arm's length away. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and asked down from generation to. the told destruction of the culture of new mexico by telling them i mean this is not going to impact a swelling in mexico whatever happens here. we're eating out about in the in the marrow in the case in all the organs or. genetically engineered crops why do

you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. a little bit. older.

goodspeed. we're. going. welcome back to technology update identifying external threat is one thing but no

profession is more to gain by piri beneath the surface than medicine with each new advances scientists are leveling the playing field against seemingly unseeable foes since we can really only observe the consequences or symptoms of most illnesses doctors have always had to rely on reading between the lines they can often only narrow in on our ailments by process of elimination but on the back of many giant leaps forward in the past century now have a greater arsenal at their disposal. for example they can bombard our bodies with harmless ultrasonic waves showing the image in real time of their high frequency poses are good for monitoring pregnancies as well as blood flow in their radioactive isotopes which allow doctors to target specific organs often to check for cancer magnetic fields have also been mastered to keep an eye on soft tissues like the brain injured tendons but the granddaddy of them all is the x. ray which has been giving doctors

a glimpse into our bones and lungs for more than one hundred years. the technique discovered nearly by accident has highlighted how gaining new insight into what was previously out of reach payson major dividends the technique revolutionized many diagnoses processes with oversize film images becoming a standard sight in hospitals everywhere but that's all in the past digital is the name of the game now armed with nearly instantaneous results doctors can see right away if they successfully snap the knee. properly. make modern day technicians work almost as clicking a mouse. if we compare the latest x. ray equipment with previous models but of course the first big difference is the ability to refine and archive the images digitally. additionally increase the quantity as well as the quality of diagnoses we perform. and in russia

x. ray technology. recently. they produced a range of high tech equipment all of it focused on getting past the barriers created. based in st petersburg the company is certainly no newcomer to the russian medical tech scene it was started in the late one nine hundred eighty s. engineers responsible for the first camera developed in the soviet union over the years and decades has slowly but surely improved and expanded the products it offers to the medical profession by the company's calculations it currently accounts for about twenty five percent of the markets in which it operates. at this point one of its main offerings is an entire set of x. ray machinery for doctors that need to get a peak on the inside accuracy and it's clearly the most important which requires electrons to take certain precautions. so. these are

a whole number of tests objects that allow us to evaluate farias image parameters like this one which shows us the vessel that is the smallest objects you can see in a human body for example this test object is a specially made lead plate and has pairs of lines a different intervals within the space of one millimeter judging by how many line pairs we see we can figure out what the smallest element we can x. ray in the human body is there. also these objects that have varying densities which we used to conduct contrast sensitivity checks and there exists a great variety of such tests. in addition to offering traditional simple static snapshots these are equipped with a linear x. ray technology it allows easier scanning of mobility impaired patients and also enables technicians to focus in on one spot in particular by moving the detector along with the x. ray tube linear x.

rays minimize background image interference the next generation of technology that's been adopted the world over including a lot of russian hospitals that use it as well is computed to mo graffiti it involves scanning the patient's body to produce demographic images all slices of specific areas of the body then these individuals put together and could be looked at from any number of angles and certain parameters could be measured these cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes so that the doctor can get a full picture of the patient's condition. getting that three d. computer toma graph or c.t. image isn't so easy the circular scan only captures an area about twenty five millimeters wide so if the doc needs to check on a large section of the body it can take dozens of spins around the. world over there are really only a handful of companies that are capable of producing equipment like this given the

complexity and cost to develop it it should be no great surprise that here electro has teamed up with philips. this is the first full cycle innovative partnership of its kind in russia initially the russian side provided some fifteen percent of the components for the most part this included things like service aleutians and associated software. but today a contribution has risen to thirty percent and we are in the process of increasing it to as much as fifty percent. in other words. with. more than five hundred. country. exports.

which takes us. to the days of peter the great moment. is work on a revolutionary kind of. the structures of. electromagnetic radiation. and.

what we do here is considered a priority for believe it physical. currently the biggest medical project being developed by the russian academy of sciences. supported by the ministry of industry and trade. provided a grant to stimulate and implement this project. field makes the hole in.
