Senior researcher at the Central Institute of Motor Engineering, Hamlet Khanyan, said in a short interview with Pravda.Ru that space sanctions would cause bigger damage to the United States, rather than to Russia. "Due to rising tensions in the US-Russia relations, NASA speeded up the development of its own manned spacecraft to compete against Russia's Soyuz spaceships. The space agency signed contracts for the construction of a new generation of spacecraft with Boeing and SpaceX. The contracts total $6.8 billion dollars. The new ships are planned to be launched from the territory of the United States (Florida). Will this experience be successful?" "As the saying goes, good luck." I do not think that the Americans will outdo the performance of Russian RD-180 engines. If you have ever watched Russian rockets and US shuttles taking off, you can see the difference. From an American shuttle, when it takes off, there is a large tail left, and the smoke in the tail is very thick, because the combustion of fuel is incomplete, so it falls down. When a Proton rocket takes off, it leaves a thin plasma column in the air that is barely visible, with an intermittent fiery stream of the purple color. This means that our fuel burns completely, and the propulsive effort is stronger. "With the Russian technology, two tons of fuel burn in one second. I do not know when the Americans can achieve this. The Proton rocket, in general, becomes a matter of the past, because we have already developed a new rocket called Angara that will fly on another type of fuel. The fuel that is used in Proton is highly toxic as it burns heptyl. This is a very good, effective fuel, but a very toxic one. Should a catastrophe occur, the contamination of the area nearby will be serious. The Angara rocket will be just as efficient, and maybe even more efficient, while using completely non-toxic fuel." "Will corporations be able to cheapen production, given the fact that, for example, Boeing buys titanium for aircraft construction in Russia?" "Boeing makes civilian aircraft. Russian companies lag behind them in terms of comfort and efficiency, but take the lead in terms of military aircraft and missiles. Cheaper production? I do not think so. The USA just wants to set us up so that Russia does not receive $70 million, for which they would buy our RD-180 engines." "How did you assess NASA's chances to deliver astronauts to the ISS, independently of Russia?" "NASA without Russia? This would be a very expensive and ineffective way to go, but they can do it. Rogozin once offered them to send astronauts to the ISS from bouncers. The USA's sudden love to Ukraine, apparently, justifies negative consequences for the industry, including in the field of space." "One of the reasons to shelve the space shuttle program in 2011 was said to be considerable spending. Is the United States now ready to invest huge sums in the space program, given the current spending on wars?" "They have money, they just print it, so they will invest. Yes, of course they can, although I do not know where it can happen. The shuttle program was closed because it was heavily advertised. It was a beautiful rocket and an impressive ship, but it was very ineffective. The cost of one Proton launch in comparison with that of a shuttle is ten times as low, so the Americans got addicted to our engines." "Will the Russian space industry suffer?" "I do not think so. It will only be relieved of freeloaders." "Will there be another space race between the USA and Russia?" "Well, we must try, because on the moon, there are enticing reserves of helium-3. This material is highly effective in thermonuclear reactions. On Earth, it is impossible to produce it, but one can fly to the moon and take it from there. This would solve the problem of controlled thermonuclear synthesis. So the current situation is a challenge for humanity, because it can give a boost to the development of the helium technology, and we will be able to set fire to the water."

Study shows how the brain can trigger a deep sleep
Scientists have discovered that switching on one area of the brain chemically can trigger a deep sleep. The new study, which explored how sedatives work in the brain's neural pathways, could lead to better remedies for insomnia and more effective anaesthetic drugs. Scientists from Imperial College London found that certain types of sedative drugs work by 'switching on' neurons in a particular area of the brain, called the preoptic hypothalamus. Their work, in mice, showed that it is these neurons that are responsible for shutting down the areas of the brain that are inactive during deep sleep. Following a period of sleep deprivation, the brain triggers a process that leads to a deep recovery sleep. The researchers found that the process that is triggered by the sedatives is very similar. In mice, when the researchers used a chemical to activate only specific neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus, this produced a recovery sleep in the animals. The new research is important because although scientists understand how sedatives bind to certain receptors to cause their desired effects, it had previously been assumed that they had a general effect throughout the brain. The knowledge that one distinct area of the brain triggers this kind of deep sleep paves the way for the development of better targeted sedative drugs and sleeping pills. These new drugs could directly hijack this natural mechanism to work more effectively, with fewer side effects and shorter recovery times. ''If you don't sleep for a long period, your body shuts down – almost as if you had taken a drug,'' said study co-author Professor Bill Wisden, from the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. ''We've shown that sedative drugs trigger the same neurons, making the two types of unconsciousness very similar.'' ''Although we know that certain sedatives are effective, there are lots of gaps in scientists' knowledge in terms of precisely what sedatives are doing in the brain. We looked at the class of sedative drugs commonly used for patients undergoing investigative procedures or minor operations, to try and identify the circuitry in the brain that they are affecting,'' explained Nick Franks, also from the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. ''What we found was really striking. Most people might think that sedative drugs would work by directly shutting down certain neural pathways but actually what happened was that they first switched on one particular area – the preoptic hypothalamus – and this then caused other parts of the brain to shut down.'' ''Lack of sleep is a really serious problem for many people, such as people suffering from stress or people working irregular shifts, and it affects their physical and mental health'' added Professor Wisden. ''There are many different sleeping pills available but none of them provide rest that is as restorative as natural sleep. We hope that our new research will ultimately lead to new ways of addressing this problem.'' In the study, published in Nature Neuroscience, the researchers used a genetic tagging system to mark neurons in mice that were activated both during sedation and in recovery sleep. When the researchers subsequently targeted those neurons in the mice with a selective chemical, this was sufficient to produce a recovery sleep in the mice. The team plan to continue their investigations into sleep induction in the brain, to try to understand more of the complex chemical circuitry governing our response to tiredness. The research is funded by the Medical Research Council, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Wellcome Trust, the UK-China Scholarships for Excellence Scheme, and the ERASMUS Program.

Nissel Pennel Capsule
As the number of patients with diseases is constantly growing, there have been lots of medicines coming out to cure diseases. As demand for medicines has kept rising, many medical businesses have found themselves sitting on a pile of money. Among them is PharmaKing Co., Ltd. which has grown into one of the leading biotechnology ventures. Since it was established in 1975 under the name of ‘Taerim Industry’, PharmaKing Co., Ltd. has developed medicines to cure patients with hepatitis. The miraculous medicines produced by PharmaKing give hope and dream to patients suffering from diseases all around the world. The company has been investing more than 20% of its total revenue in R&D for the development of competitive medicines. As a result, the first hepatitis medicine in Korea named ‘Nissel’ came out to the market in July, 1990. The effectiveness of the newly discovered medicine took many people by surprise within and outside the nation. Nissel is a very effective solution for hepatitis followed by the increased number of transaminase caused by chronic hepatitis with the continuously increased number of SGPT or by drugs. PharmaKing Co., Ltd. made its name when it earned a patent for its dedication to the discovery of the first hepatitis medicine. Then it went on to launch another breakthrough named ‘Pennel capsule’ in Feb. 1998, which has become the most popular drug against hepatitis in Korea. Pennel capsule is a combined product of fbiphenyl dimethyl and Garlic oil. Biphynyl dimethyl dicarboxylate has been found to be effective in liver function and symptoms of patients with chronic viral hepatitis. The superiority of PharmaKing Co., Ltd has been widely recognized in numerous Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam. It has grown enough to export ‘Pennel capsule’ to Egypt. The company has come a long way, but it will never stop looking for a new miracle for patients.
