Although not many details are given, it seems to me this people just adapted an existing analytical technology called Capillary Electrophoresis. The piezo pump is a clever addition to the system to improve the micro-liter per second flows typically obtained in CE technology.
I wonder where and how they want to hang the liquid reservoir with the cooling solution. The processor may have to come then with an attached infusion bag like those you get at hospitals.
There is an interesting application called HitmanPro that uses most of the anti-spyware software available in the internet and uses them all to automatically find all the shit hidden. The website is in Dutch but the software is in German and English as well.
Please, mirror the site asap and make available extra copies of the program.
Ergo egyptians did not build the pyramides. Martians did the good job, but they used all the resources available on Mars leaving the planet as we know it today.
Now I only have to put down my conlusions nicely written so it can be published in Science or something.
Being spanish, I feel extra proud of the media attention is getting this case study. Hopefully, the spanish politicians will now consider to promote more spanish science.
Although the author has said this should be taken as a definitive treatment, it opens the doors to further research and clinical trials. Don't expect a full treatment procedure before two years, but this was a pretty good start.
AFIK, hydrogen sulfide would also inhibit the cytochrome C of all aerobic bacteria in the body. Hence, the infection risk may be decreased during the hibernation because these bacteria would be "hibernating" too.
About the anaerobic bacteria found within our body, I'm not sure. Perhaps a combined effect with low temperature could also prevent these anaerobic bacteria of growing.
Low temperature (not freezing) and a mixture of gases may be the way to go about long-term hibernation.
Well, Im mostly interested on how is the daily life. Picts can wait:-)
Im my project crew members will have to participate in biomedical studies, so Im curious until what extend you are willing to be disturbed as experiment subjects;-) Details like: sleeping problems, stress, depression, food quality and other psicological and physiological challenges will help me to draw a picture of how is life there during the stay.
The Antartica stay-over missions are also the test bed for some new technologies that will be used in furure space exploration.
One of my tasks at ESA is to help scientists to understand human physiology in extreme conditions, and Antartica offers exceptional conditions that simulate what a trip to Mars could be: isolation, confinement, limited food and energy, name it.
Im very interested to know how is life at Concordia (Dome C) Station, because my test equipment will be used there in few years. Is it possible for you people at Dome C to blog or something? It would be very useful for me to know how it is an average working day in Antartica?
It's also going to require a very unique set of individuals who can stay confined with others and not go completely nuts.
Indeed very unique cosmonauts because most probably they will have an one-way ticket to Mars. A return trip to Mars will double everything: costs, risks, etc.

Well, i'd say 8 weeks is time enough for a smart rat to clone itself spawning into millions.
Excuse me Sir. I think you are mistaking here.
It's a Spanish book what you are referring to. The mission was conceived by spaniards, and the main contractor is Spanish. They have chosen to use the Spanish spelling: Don Quijote.
I think of... scrolling on the spacebar the name of the song being played in your favourite mp3 player software.
;)
I think of... highlighting all keys which function is available for a given program, different combined with SHIFT, CTRL or ALT
I think of... being able to type in the dark because you can see all the keys.
Come on!, dare to think...

The original article published by Dr. Brú in 1998 is freely available from the journal of Biophysics. For those of who enjoy maths.

What you actually mean is the AERCam/Sprint tested in the STS-87. Strange they didn't mention it anymore, even though there seem to be plans of an improved version.

Aren't Novell products commercially available? Don't they give any tech support? Guaranties?
Well, if you take away all the shit and poisonous substances and microorganisms, what you get? Plain water.
