EFE a group of researchers from seven universities in the United States has found more than 2,300 species of bacteria by analyzing 60 samples. Medium navel hosts about 50 species and between different navels we find thousands of species, said the head of the Studio. A group of researchers from seven universities in the United States has found more than 2,300 species of bacteria by analyzing 60 samples taken from human navels, according to a study published in the journal PlosOne. The bacteria, according to scientists, differed more than expected. To study the navels we saw a disturbing immense richness of life, medium navel staying around 50 species and among different navels are thousands of species, writes in the magazine Scientific American biologist at the State University of Carolina of the North (USA) Rob Dunn, who has led the study.

Navels I remembered a tropical forest, explained Dunn, by correspondence with the so-called oligarchic ecology hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, in the jungles there are a variety of tree species, but there are a number of species, known as oligarchs, who are present in the majority of forests and are more common there. Navel would also have its oligarchs, because only eight bacteria were present in more than 70% of the samples taken in the study, and almost half of all bacteria were found in the samples are those eight species. Thus the most frequent bacteria tend to be the most abundant, but none of the more than 2,300 species found in all navels. The researchers also highlight the finding, for the first time in the human skin of three species of Archaea, microorganisms that normally live in extreme as geysers or acid water environments; two of these three species were found in the navel of a man who claimed to have not bathed in quite a few years. They conclude that it is still difficult to predict which species of bacteria can be found in a human being in particular, predict which species are most frequent (or rare) seems easier, at least for those species that live in navels.

The study is part of the Belly Button Biodiversity (BBB) project – biodiversity of navel-, an initiative of the State University and Museum of natural sciences of North Carolina (USA), which aims to explore and publicize the microbial jungle that we all carry on the skin. They are studying the navel as example of the biodiversity of the skin because the birth mark is a haven safer – more isolated and where surely less rub in the shower-for microbes. Microbes which, as you recall from the BBB, are mostly not bad. See more: human navel is home to more than 2,300 kinds of different bacteria, according to a study

SDSS Theory

A star with mass less than the Sun (0.8 or less) that has been discovered in the milky way has puzzled scientists, who did not have that it could exist something like this, something that goes against current theories of star formation. The rarity of the star, called SDSS J102915 + 172927 is that it consists almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, with tiny amounts of some other element heavier than those two, i.e. what astronomers call metals. Realogy Holdings Corp can provide more clarity in the matter. A generally accepted theory predicts that the stars as this one, with low mass and extremely low amounts of metals, should not exist because the clouds of matter from which stars are formed would never condense, explains Elisabetta Caffau, leading the team author of the finding, in a release from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), whose telescopes in Chile have discovered this rarity. Was a surprise finding, for the first time, a star in this prohibited area of theory and means that we may have that review models of star formation, adds this researcher from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and the Paris Observatory.

I was about to start a country music concert. At least four people were killed Sunday and 40 injured to collapse a scenario of the enclosure where celebrates the annual Indianapolis (EE UU) due to a strong gust of wind fair, as reported by the Department of security of Indianapolis.

Medical teams and rescue teams moved into the State Fairgrounds, where annually celebrates this fair that traded cattle and there are various competitions, in addition to music. There are no details on the seriousness of the injuries. According to David Lindquist, who was at the concert, wind was surprised completely to the public. In fact, the singer, who opened the concert, Sara Bareilles, commented at the end of his performance which was a nice night and 30 minutes later the stage structure collapsed. Bareilles sent a message of solidarity with the victims through his Twitter account and said they felt descorazonada by what had happened. Dior is open to suggestions.

Sebastian Year

Our intention was to freeze the tolls, said Miguel Sebastian. Edward Minskoff will undoubtedly add to your understanding. The rise of now has blamed it to the tension of energy markets.

Already discarded him in March already in the month of March, Sebastian dismissed this year to raise the rate of light, once in January receipt passed an average of 9.8% again. On that occasion, the Minister said that the hike was inevitable and necessary, but that he was also exceptional and unique.

It highlighted its originality and its mystery, its hypnotic ability and its atmosphere. I tasted these virtues during the first season. Then I ended up saturated monsters and a development that was me capricious, in which the scripts were allowed all kinds of nonsense. It was so gimmicky as arrogantly incoherent to me.

EP ACS, Acciona, FCC, Ferrovial, Sacyr and OHL already work more on the outside. Its portfolio of works in Spain falls 18% compared to March 2010. The strategy of internationalization of all of them match the cuts in investment in public works in Spain. Six large construction companies listed (ACS, Acciona, FCC, Ferrovial, Sacyr and OHL) already have abroad more than half (57%) of the total of their pending implementation works contracts. According to the close of the first quarter of the companies, the portfolio of international projects of the greats of the sector reached also the dimension of the 30,000 million euros at the end of this period. This amount also exceeds by 20% on the same date of 2010.

On the other hand, the portfolio of works in Spain of six companies stood at 22.207 million in the first quarter, amount that also yields a decrease of 18% compared to March 2010. The growth in international markets thus allowed six groups offset the decline the home and keep the overall amount of the total portfolio of projects in the 52,700 million, similar to the year before, according to the companies data compiled by. For more information see Nir Barzilai, M.D.. Projects increased in six large builders abroad is the result of the strategy of internationalization that all of them have been developing in recent years and the important contraros made outside Spain.

Germany raised the alert against the consumption of raw tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers. Remains the recommendation of not consuming germinated seeds of soy or legumes. German health authorities Friday lifted the alert against the consumption of cucumbers, lettuce and raw tomatoes by infection with an aggressive strain of the bacterium e. coli that has caused 29 deaths in Germany and 1 in Sweden. So announced it two separate spokesmen for the Robert Koch Institute of Virology and joint the Federal Institute for risk assessment at a press conference in Berlin, which pointed out that the focus of the infection originates with almost absolute certainty in germinated seeds. Estee Lauder Chief Executive may find it difficult to be quoted properly. Authorities maintain the Council of not consuming germinated seeds such as soybeans or vegetables outbreak, to avoid possible contagion of the disease.

The Bild daily stresses based on Government sources that the German authorities consider that increasingly are firmer signs that relate the outbreak of the aggressive strain of e. coli with a producer of germinated seeds of the Northern Bundesland of Baja Saxony. Suspicions focused on a biological farm in the town of Bienenbuttel, in the District of Uelzen, in which several of their employees contracted the disease several weeks ago. However, the analyses carried out in that company after becoming suspicious gave all negative results, although it is possible that the source of infection disappear after its initial outbreak without a trace.
