hello and welcome to technology update coming up on today's show. mrs transports gets a facelift. science flourishes in tomsk. and we have some phone around the office. but first with alexis to bill's creeping up on fossil fuels running else people are increasingly looking to the sun for the answer to the world's energy problems while the solar revolution might still be a way off so let's take some bones and what better way to show off what you can do that in a race in the center of moscow. second way. bush's first solar regatta was held on the most school ridge on a sunny day at the end of july in the competition nine teams from bush in unison one from monaco moved away from the solar powered boats in a race to the finish as well as demonstrating the capabilities of today's seoul

a test event aims most renewables comes on education and the business opportunities that come with them. monaco's team synergy was the winner of its class in the two thousand and fourteen solo one once a cargo cult with the sleep person hydrofoils it looked the favorites when the muscular guts was well. the race was organized by graduates from the skolkovo moscow school of management under the supervision of youth guinea cousin of the slick soul of boats which was made in europe for bush's symmetry sailing team was on site after his victory in monaco but the potential of solar vessels has implications everywhere such was the thinking behind the solar one championship which brought together teams from china usa and brazil it's monaco's prestigious yacht club here in moscow the founders of the solar got so wanted to follow in their wake. we're trying to help different competition formats and in the end came to the conclusion that this is indeed. it's something that engineering students.

it's good for us education and research it's very important for them to take part in projects like this because it helps to expand their practical knowledge. i'm sure this was the last thing on everyone's mind when the green flag flew in a surprising turn of events synergies foyle's weren't quite as graceful around the coolness as they've proven to be along the straits and the boats lost precious seconds on each turn this david has with his classic boat design all the opportunity it needed to close the gap on the sailing neck in neck down the strait synergy was left dead in the water. while most people were enjoying the weather swimming role playing volleyball making the most of the sun in a different way we call talk with the team from the state radio technical university while many of the older competitors boats were built purely for speed

this team went for practicality as well this solar boats has remained off a six people making it's ideal for weekend fishing trips however at the flick of a switch the position of the reef can be adjusted sending the casual cruiser into a streamlined race. in this position the center of gravity is lowered and the wind resistance reduced to my single post turning performance and maximizing its celebration and take it from me the power of the sun is definitely enough to set the wind running through your head. the solar sail at a five point six meters two point one meters wide is propelled by five kilowatts outboard motor boats up to two lithium pulling a bunch of blocks together weighing one hundred sixty kilograms and the. displacement of the solar panels on the roof and from generates up to the employees really should be free to charge the batteries in about ten hours on a full charge the boat can burn for up to eight hour. it's allegedly seven

kilometers an hour or one point five zero it's much speed of twenty five kilometers . the boat was built in only two months in the business incubator at the technical university. before it got anywhere near the open water the team of six current and former students made sure it was see where the in the improvised don't. join this stage of testing the team streamlined the vessels weight distribution powered up the propeller and of course check for given the short time frame the team used the suv it feels best for as a base. that. this boat has great performance in seagoing characteristics as well as a low planing speed. but this boat was originally developed for low power petrol engines. that seem completely overhauled to the rest of the vessel. is made from an alum in frame strength into the extruded phone palestine including fiberglass fifty batteries are mounted on sliders so the posts can be shifted on

the go to suits whether load and race conditions close attention was also paid to electronics to maximize the juice squeezed out of every drop of sunlight and shoulder but she's a charge even when. we build this boat for a competition and when the time came for us to take parts it was through the boat had been fully charged entirely by the sun. the upper solar panel outside while keeping it connected to the controllers. as we money toward the recharging process we saw that there is no need for any sort of external power source. the will to plus solar panels was supplied locally by one of the team sponsors that is than metal ceramics instrumentation plants. the production process starts by cleaning and visually inspecting the external glass pane the surface of the glass is slightly to top as much light as possible reflected from the solar cells beneath . the inspection has come. pleats the paines

a carefully put one side ready to be used in the final assembly later on. the millimeter thin wafers that make up the photovoltaic cells the sold together into rows before being mounted on the backing sheets. they then pass along to convey a way any floor cracks in the semi metal cells would shine right through before being sold together in series. to prevent. getting into the finished product i think ethylene vinyl acetate film is placed on top. then the whole panel is sealed by what's basically a giant machine. number which. we were very happy to be part of this project. we supplied the solar panels for the boat so it could compete in the regatta. the project had some unusual requirements due to both waitressed frictions we had to store existing technologies and use a lighter flexible polymer

a base to produce the solar module more than. the finished panels then roll off the production line and into testing the solar panels the checks by blasting them with an artificial sunlight machine and measuring the amount of electricity that comes out the other end of the firm's products can transform the sun's light into usable electricity with an efficiency of up to seventeen percent despite only launching solar panel production in two thousand and eight the companies where this can be found in forty two countries around the world price has many business promotion centers which are ready to support these projects teams we told the skolkovo foundation and russian venture company and all these organizations are ready to work with our students who already have viable ideas that can be developed into marketable products. meanwhile back in moscow the solar regatta turned into a two horse race. trail. the nimble try and run through just two five.

asked for the multi-purpose transformer and in a nail biting finish went on to win the race. with more teams expected to participate that promises to be even more drama in next year's event. so the future of environmentally friendly private vehicles to public transport has been going green for decades and mrs thomson metro are about to get a facelift. focal point you've got to help the in a prom international industrial exhibition for the fifth time last month events during around six hundred companies from seventy countries and also hosts a number of world premieres. including the world's first sixteen meets a single section below floor trauma produced by trans mush holding. the city star was assembled in tested on the streets of moscow and is now ready to roll into mass production. but the star of the show has to be the bushehr one prototype by or all of our bones of all of the futuristic trauma which office on

the rivaled comforts promises to take russian public transport into the space age it doesn't just look good on the outside it's also got some pretty cool features inside too. so this demonstration model is exactly how the final concept design will look at the commercial model will have some slight modifications but it will not be changed by more than ten percent in features a unique quite complex door system and the headlights are also unique the lights inside are opened with a dimmer mechanism which is fitted with a two point four kilowatt i quality sound system with the bogeys were made in russia and designed for russian tracks. they make up forty to sixty percent of the total cost of the tram so using these bodies' as well as other russian made components makes this tram about one and a half to two times cheaper than the equivalent for a model him because i showed up with the underground wasn't overlooked either with company urban transport solutions unveiling their metro carriage prototype as well . it's opposed to larger passenger capacity easy access for disabled passengers

climate control as well as a fire detection and extinguishing system while the trains modular design makes it easier to repair and service the world's population is expected to meet eighty billion people by two thousand and twenty five and with all those extra miles to feed scientists are looking for ways to maximize the yields of staple crops and the new tech in toms might just hold the key. to something alive. with honey called gardens can trace its roots all the way back to eight hundred eighty when construction work was started in the grounds of the city state university. it's a vigil glass roof and walls has over seven thousand types of tree plants and taxes from all corners of the globe and cover a bloomin six thousand five hundred square metres the gardens carry out important work protecting some of the world's rarest species and conserving tom's local flora . as well as providing

a tranquil escape from the city the botanical gardens has all the elements necessary for science to flourish. for the past four years stuff for the university have been experimenting with a fertiliser called white color. when i added to soil or directly to fresh tree cuttings the nitrogen based plan through it significantly boosts the growth rate in . the research is also stumbled across an unexpected benefit of using dry color. on glycol improves the growth process and basic right speed in the seeds even germinate more quickly in addition as has been found to disinfect seeds reducing the risk of fungal infection when applied to plant cutting this guy coral forms a protective biodegradable film that kills but syria while it's in water in the fertiliser is also reaching nitrogen which is an essential on food it's used to make amino acids the building blocks of protein and the chlorophyll the plants used to filter. synthesize and if that's weren't enough glycol slowly releases its

nitrogen for sustained growth like color oil is based on the versatile organic compound of the oxo made in tomsk by scientists from the city state university up until two thousand and nine only seven countries were capable of synthesising substance however that's all changed when aptly named company glocks ltd sets up industrial production bringing new products to the domestic markets. bilk sells unique ability to link polymers means is found up occasions in a diverse range of industries is used in oil recovery to make the solvable surgical stitches disinfectants paper coatings cosmetics and the list goes on the company's made by oxidizing ethylene glycol and cancelling the action with heat and a lot of the silver however the guys it looks l.t. have developed a catalyst is unlike anything used elsewhere. the average or the traditional elements used across the world are produced in the us germany and china. they just

use large amounts of silver in a sort of sponge to produce kayaks. the catalyst element that we have developed has a number of significant advantages firstly it contains only five percent silver and the rest of it basically consists of silica said that with the silver particles are evenly distributed throughout the material to boost its efficiency more one kilogram of this material can produce more than pure silver alone can another advantage is its thermal stability because. having cracked the secrets of how to produce. the siberian company sets about manufacturing some of the many products derived from it including glycol or. the fertilizers made by mixing the clearly critically exult with whites carbon might crystals. in the mixture is then placed in a chemical reacts and catalyzed by an acid mixture that the companies keeping a tight lid on. as it turns out by color. it's also pretty versatile the compound

and its derivatives can be used in paints chipboard resin cool disinfectant flame retardants and so on. with demand on the domestic markets alone expected to reach sixty thousand tonnes a year the company definitely has its work cut out. in the next stage the crowd liquid is then filtered and the visit to dry producing the whites by color real powder. demand for the whole growing tech might be high but on the plus side one application of the first rise that goes a very great while the main advantage is that it doesn't easily dissolve in water which means that it stays in the soil for a long time it would want to implication may last for several seasons up to two or three so use it once and forget about fertilizing for the next three years. with like color rules and long lasting affects farmers may soon be able to worry about things other than fertilizing. and maybe even take some time out for a stroll in the tomsk botanical gardens. just into the first off so stay tuned for

welcome but let's take a quick look at this month's tech news before we continue with the rest of the show . bytes. the two thousand and fourteen moscow international also reveal salon opened its doors on the twenty seventh of august to the crocus expo sensor during the eleven day events organizers expect to see one million visitors flocking to catch the first glimpse of some of the many world premieres which included the unveiling of the lot of vesta next gen chevrolet neave of prototypes as well as some new cars from dozens of my. including mitsubishi lunge over ford and v.w. . defense exhibition exploits took place in the middle of august in the town of ski in the most cool region while some with the extensive business program most people would joins the exhibitions and demonstration of some

of russia's latest defense take including an aerial display by the. seattle post to the two thousand and fourteen microsoft in matching cope at the beginning of the month and first prize in the game's a russian team. is. a good base to belive this is not eternal in which players take on the electric spark green cities. should be limited to just a little more between fifty thousand dollars that. everyone knows that gets more powerful by the minute allowing it to do things that once even dreamt of a couple of years ago that's even so there has to be a limit i mean there's no way you'll be on the power and storage of a desktop in your pocket or is that. each. anyone who has a mark in his ever wants to run

a windows program will have probably heard of parallels but what you might not know is that parallels is one of richest. companies since it was founded in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine the company's become an industry leader in blurring the previously in line between the operating systems and windows. with over four million copies of policy from uk sold worldwide to the i t giants recently when. we took our ideas and expertise with this technology and transferred them to the mobile sphere to provide remote access to windows and mac operating systems. mark. says combines the possibility of its help a little smartphone with the power of a desktop so users of the up can access important documents. media y.b. from the other side of the world without suffering so bloated to the cloud first drug fragile hard drives abound with them. you can also provide remote support to

technically challenged older relatives and be in the office while sitting in it to cruising. the developers of the company when it's a painstaking lengths to make computer applications look and feel as if they were originally written proposal device. among the main challenges with providing a stable connection when switching between wife by and slow with three g. internet connections. adopting applications intended for a mouse to be used with a relatively imprecise to the screen as well as optimizing the resolution of a computer to be displayed on a small mobile device. the parallels are set up launcher lets users start up the cations as if they were native mobile apps while the apps which displays all the programs currently running and allows users to switch between them with a simple swipe. mouse clicks of also being converted into typical such gestures

while the magnifying glass helps users selects news simply drop down menu simpletons but the company's particularly proud of its tech selection functionality . regarding texts and text selection. systems provide no access to this feature or its management. this is not provided for because it's in the fold function of an operating system we should just work text fields. so we had to get inside windows and mac operating systems market to be able to manage it properly. so much about the outputs parallels we were keen to give it a go back as the r.c. office was one of the guys at the company didn't tell us if that's parlous x. is also pretty useful for playing a private school job some unsuspecting colleagues. the computers in our office can be accessed by pretty much any r.t. employee i install the parlous desktop clients on one of them the other day just to

test out the program unfortunately our producer unit didn't know this when she started the computer and the opportunity to play a practical joke on a was just to get some s. . we had four cameras around the office while you was away but i was in constant contact with our director said again who told me once a one zero zero when it's a buck off right surrogates just give me the go ahead and use nipped out of the room for a second so let's try connecting to a computer. sign in. carry even the so computers my home computer is on his yearly as computer this is it. now we can see looks like she's watching in order to sort of technology updates so good for her right let's have some fun. by moving a mouse nothing too drastic starts off with. someone let's move the mouse i hear. it weird you don't understand maybe

you should delete the address that she's typing. on. she. was living. with. us from the wrong address. that. really has absolutely no idea we can see exactly what she's typing. bit of a typo just move the mouse the old. punch him why if you've got a mind of your own i didn't type that i don't know if you tell you cannot what's going on. there's a message for me i'm sure most. i don't know if you need to write this message your post should close or. near to you look what's happening here it's almost taking control of my mouse so i.

look yeah this isn't the first time it's happened. i had a window open and then it just closed by self and then some other stuff pops up that's what the heck's going on well it could be a virus it's been happening all morning. she's going slightly mad just. amazing let's give it a couple of minutes or so she calms down. also non-work related social network close on which is always a second rate second phones godsake come on suspect something maybe he. will leave it. i did it anyway alex say in the office this is my computer is acting like it's got a mind of its own seriously it's been moving the cursor by itself and closing messages by itself what's wrong with it it's just taking me to frequently visited sites just with what's going on. book. one.

bit worrying but she's not doing anything on the computer now either i should do what. ok ok good oh ok. she's. confused. ok maybe i'll fix the problem. wait a sec. i didn't touch anything i was holding my phone with my left hand. just what you wanted. the entire i.t. department was in on the joke so there was no chance that they'd give the game away . right so the i.t. guy has been and gone. to collect a second time which is called a parallel screen to display on her computer so unfortunately been posted.

what is this this computer is being used remotely by parallels who did this. not connect and i think we've been rumbled. we're moving toward a situation where we users don't care whether their apps or data are stored on a cloud on a desktop or never will device they just want to have a convenient way of working with them. and that's exactly what we're trying to achieve with their parallels access mobile app. if you want of course we were going to painter a flower that even fund golf would be proud of by way of apology remote access apps make us even more connected to the rest of the world which while making our lives easier also presents its own sense of privacy challenges so it's probably best not seen stories on a shared computer but if you do make sure you tick all the rights privacy boxes and you'll be absolutely fine and once you're all set you can kick butt can play your

favorite computer game remove. i'm afraid that's all for this month's show but if you can't wait an entire month for the next episode of technology why not check out our pages on all the major social networks behind the scenes pics outtakes and eclipse into future shows so next time enjoy the ride. gender trying to symbolize this gender menace in swedish it could be me here because i found this. project financed with seventy thousand euro to investigate the trunk fence from a gender perspective. to

what extent do you think the american and british policies in the middle east have contributed to the creation of these very terrifying terrorist groups the western governments of fully understood the policies of contributed significantly to the radicalization of young men and women around the world this is without a shadow without i will confirm with i would agree with some of the young men that we would certainly be radicalized because of the foreign policy. of america tax goes did a bad thing goes in defense budgets you start these wars of convenience to continue the american empire around the world but warren buffett of pars doesn't want to have to pay for those wars so he's fleeing to canada these are financial.
