□ LIMITED EDITION Art Book And Album




Lights and Shadows is a collection of artworks and music from Ivan Shopov, alongside photos from Ivo Christov. Contained within is a collection of contrasts - light against shadow, abstraction against reality and aggression against serenity. It's a piece of art that shows how Ivan Shopov brings his creative visions to life through the simplicity of black ink upon white paper.



"Amazing record, some of the best albums i heard in 2011.
So deep and delicate. Feels like flying over huge mountains, I love the Clouds Above track, lots of beautiful harmonics and little percussion beats. Wonderful record! "

-Richard Devine




ブルガリアの作曲家であり、画家としての顔も持つアーティスト、Ivan Shopovのキャリアの集大成とも言えるアートブック。その世界観を、彼の絵画センスと二重性を兼ね持つ、音楽というフォーマットに結晶化したコンセプト・
アルバム。



COOHやBalkanskyとしての活動でも知られるIvan Shopov。Bulgariaを代表するIDM、dub-step、experimental electronicaの担い手としてのノウハウを動員し(時にバルカンの民族音楽のエッセンスを取り入れてきた)、アンビエントでありながら鋭いエッジを纏ったセンスは、アルバム終盤に覗くDrum 'n' Bass要素への回帰によって、漸うと露顕する。


モジュレートされたピアノやホーンをはじめ、無機質に響く実験的な電子音響さえ、その精微な筆致でインクをしつらえるように、アコースティック楽器のごとく奏でている。あたかもスペクトル楽派のそれにも似た響きは、そのアモルファスな音韻の中、シミュルタネイスムにも通じる概念上の構成をも匂わせるが、もっと感性的で、静謐と呼べるまでに均衡を保っている。



どこかAphex TwinのAmbient Worksを彷彿とさせる狂気じみた音色のあしらい。一つ一つの楽曲は短い時間に区切られているものの、その豊穣なバラエティは、隔絶された次元の中で、分裂的なまでに異方化した観念の描く世界の仮象であり、何処か咽び泣くようなアトモスフィアの重層は、音の客体たるオブジェクトとの位相関係を構築し、くぐもったリズムの顕形は、理を敲く捩じれた慣性現象すらトレースする。



HauntingかつSci-Fiな音壁のレイヤーが摩擦する哭声の如き鳴動。あらゆる畏怖を縁取った無窮の空漠を滑り落ちていくかのように、この作品に横たわる虚無の深さは計り知れない。光に依って陰を刻むように、漆黒の蜷局を巻く音の淀みから湧きいでる静寂の歪みは途方も無く、その波打つ表層に、虞れと恍惚という名のアンビバレントを従えている。

Here, we describe recent improvements to the automated system that keeps the structured data presented on Gene Wiki articles in sync with the data from trusted primary databases. We also describe the expanding contents, editors and users of the Gene Wiki.

Finally, we introduce a new automated system, called WikiTrust, which can effectively compute the quality of Wikipedia articles, including Gene Wiki articles, at the word level. All articles in the Gene Wiki can be freely accessed and edited at Wikipedia, and additional links and information can be found at the project's Wikipedia portal page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Gene_Wiki

□ First three-dimensional map of the human genome. | Genome Engineering shar.es/WqZxQ
Genome architectures revealed by tethered chromosome conformation capture and population-based modeling
Researchers at the University of California have created the first three-dimensional map of the human genome. The team at USC describes the genomic DNA strand as being ‘so long that if a nucleus were the size of a soccer ball, the strand of DNA inside it could be unraveled to stretch more than 30 miles long


Inside the nucleus, DNA forms hundreds of millions of contacts with itself. Using a new technique for genome-wide mapping of chromatin interactions, known as tethered conformation capture (TCC), USC researchers plotted out the location of each of those DNA-on-DNA contacts and used sophisticated computer algorithms to model the results in 3D.

Viele Insekten sind auf die Unterstützung von Bakterien angewiesen. Die Mikroorganismen produzieren Überlebens-Cocktails für ihre Larven, helfen beim Abbau schwer verdaulicher Kost oder liefern lebenswichtige Vitamine. Martin Kaltenpoth und sein Team vom Max-Planck-Institut für chemische Ökologie in Jena entlocken den Allianzen zwischen Insekt und Mikrobe teils verblüffende Details.

□ [Discovery.ch]『女性のオーガズムの仕組みとは?』オーガズムとは何のためにあるのか―その仕組みを科学的に探っていく。女性のオーガズムは、DNAの選別や、最適なタイミングでの受精を助ける役目を果たしている可能性 12/31 21:55- http://japan.discovery.com/episode/index.php?eid1=908109&eid2=000000

既に観た人の感想を辿ったら、かなり際どい内容みたい(*/▽))。伏せ字にしたけど閲覧注意w "MRI室で女性が○○してオーガズム感じる時の脳の反応を見てた。 他にも男女が○○しながら局部のエコーをとって○○の動きを放送してた。" http://mimizun.com/log/2ch/news/1323657748/526



まじめな話、男女の性行動に関する研究は倫理面からブレーキがかかって解明出来ないでいる部分が大きい。その間隙に入り込んで好き勝手やるのがエセ科学を吹聴する『男女論』。テレビに出演してるどこぞの馬の骨が「男脳は~女は~」とか、適当なアンケート調査を「科学」と称して振りかざす人たち。
