Innovations in environmental science.Review:25 selected examples. (Format 2)http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/09/innovationsin-environmental-science.htmlThe goal of this review is to provide a short summary of a series of innovative publications on environmental science and ecology. The papers were authored by scientists of Moscow State University and their co-authors. The review is not a comprehensive analysis of this broad area but a summary of some selected examples which are useful both in advancing further research and in modernization of environmental education. The review is structured and the text is divided into short sections that are easy to read.
1. Biomachinery.
In the insightful review paper [1], an innovative concept of ecosystem's biomachinery (a new scientific term that was proposed and explained in detail by the author. According to the author of this paper [1], biomachinery means ecological mechanisms that include biological communities and biodiversity) which improves water quality. The innovative experimental data analysis, concepts, and generalizations in this article provide the fundamental elements of the new qualitative theory of biocontrol of water quality in a systematized form. The theory covers water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems [1].

A new modernized definition of the term 'pheromones', p.232-233; comments on the new concepts that were proposed by the author, namely ecological chemomediators (p.232), ecological chemoregulators (p.232), ecological chemoeffectors (p.234) [11].
12. Criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants.
New criteria in order to answer the question were formulated in this paper: is a given chemical substance hazardous to the environment or not? This paper formulated a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants.[12].
13. Ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton.
It is the first article in which the new experimental results of the author were analyzed to give a new fresh insight into ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton. Also, a new insight into how ecosystem runs water self-purification.[13].

A new way of mining gold from water? Environment, Nanomaterials, Water, Gold.
The aquatic macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum immobilizes Au nanoparticles after their addition to water.
The scientific paper authored by S.A. Ostroumov, G.M. Kolesov.
http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/05/aquatic-macrophyte-ceratophyllum.html
Amazing results were found in a joint research project that was run by scientists at M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University and V.I.Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Moscow, Russian Federation.
According to the results reported in the paper, it was discovered that the aquatic plant (macrophyte) Ceratophyllum demersum immobilized gold (Au) nanoparticles after their addition to water. This is the first time it was shown that the nanoparticles of gold (Au) in substantial amount bind to the living biomass of the aquatic macrophyte, Ceratophyllum demersum.
The concentrations of Au were measured in the samples of the phytomass using neutron activation analysis (NAA). As a result of the binding and/or immobilization of the nanoparticles, the amount of Au in the samples of the phytomass increased manifold (by a factor of 430) above the background level of gold in the plant tissues. The increase was by two orders of magnitude.
The new results may become a know-how to develop a new technology to extract gold or other rare chemical elements from water.
The new data added a new aspect to the modern vision of the multifunctional role of the biota in the migration of elements in aquatic ecosystems.
Also, the result added new information to the studies of interactions of Au with organisms that may contribute to new biotechnologies.
The technologies using plants – phytotechnologies – open many new opportunities.

New conceptualization and terminology proposed: Biomachinery. Cyborgs vs. Biomachinery
New conceptualization and terminology proposed: Biomachinery. Cyborgs vs. Biomachinery.
In 1998, the author invented the term 'biomachinery', and published it in 1999 (see the second part of this file). Now it is clear that the term was useful and survived the test of time. This term means a kind of hybrid of two things: biological and non-biological ones. To a degree, this is relevant to what is called Cyborg. Examples of Cyborgs are Terminators and The Borg from Star Trek.
It is useful to look at what is written about Cyborgs in Wikipedia:
A cyborg, short for "cybernetic organism", is a being with both biological and artificial (e.g. electronic, mechanical or robotic) parts. The term was coined in 1960 when Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline used it in an article about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space. …… Fictional cyborgs are portrayed as a synthesis of organic and synthetic parts….
Fictional cyborgs may be represented as visibly mechanical (e.g. the Cybermen in the Doctor Who franchise or The Borg from Star Trek); or as almost indistinguishable from humans (e.g. the Terminators from the Terminator films, the "Human" Cylons from the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica etc.)
The 1970s television series The Six Million Dollar Man featured one of the most famous fictional cyborgs, referred to as a bionic man. … Cyborgs are also often portrayed with physical or mental abilities far exceeding a human counterpart (military forms may have inbuilt weapons, among other things).
[The end of the cited text from Wikipedia].
Cyborgs in films are sometimes very bad guys.
Very often they look like humans.
These two characteristics make the idea of Cyborg very different from the idea of biomachinery.
Biomachinery is not associated with any specific or familiar form of body; and biomachinery is not doing any harm, on the contrary, it is doing a very good thing – upgrading water quality, purifying water, – which is one of key ecosystem services to benefit mankind.
The following is a more scientific material on biomachinery.
New conceptualization and terminology in science of ecology: Biomachinery (the author is Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov, Moscow State University)

S.A. Ostroumov. Biomachinery for maintaining water quality and natural water self-purification in marine and estuarine systems: elements of a qualitative theory. – International Journal of Oceans and Oceanography, ISSN 0973-2667, Vol.1, No.1 (2006), pp. 111-118 © Research India Publications; http://www.ripublication.com/ijoo.htm; [Laboratory of Physico-Chemistry of Biomembranes, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, Vorob'evy Gory, Moscow, 119991, Russia].
Abstract: Fundamental elements are formulated for a qualitative theory of the multi-functional (polyfunctional) role of the biota in maintaining self-purification and water quality in aquatic ecosystems. The elements of the theory covers the following: (1) sources of energy for the mechanisms of self-purification; (2) the main functional blocks of the system of self-purification; (3) the list of the main processes that are involved; (4) analysis of the degree of participation of the main large taxons; (5) degree of reliability and the main mechanisms providing the reliability; (6)regulation of the processes; (7) the response of the system towards the external influences(man-made impacts); (8) the analogy between ecosystems and a bioreactor; and (9)conclusions relevant to the practice of biodiversity conservation. In support of the theory, results are given of the author's experiments which demonstrated the ability of some pollutants (surfactants, detergents, and some others) to inhibit the water filtration activity of marine filter-feeders (namely, the bivalve mollusks mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, Mytilus edulis, and oysters Crassostrea gigas). Key words: Ecosystems, pollution, water quality, water self-purification, filter-feeders. Abbreviations: LD – liquid detergent; SD- synthetic detergent; SDS – sodiumdodecylsulphate; TDTMA – tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide;

SUMMARY. As it was mentioned above, the term 'biomachinery' was a part of the name for a scientific session that was initiated, organized, and chaired by Dr. S.Ostroumov in 1999 in the U.S.A. It was mentioned in Internet and immediately attracted attention. Many people liked it. Now this word became a new part of English language. Now this word is in use.
Biomachinery is the term that the author, Dr. S.A.O., applied to better describe how ecosystems, especially aquatic ecosystem, function. The combined effect of collective functioning of many aquatic organisms was described in detail in his scientific publications. As a result of this team activity of water living creatures, water self-purification occurs. The efficient functioning of the aquatic biota (and ecosystem as a whole) has amazing similarity to hi-tech multi-component machinery. On this basis, the author proposed the term 'biomachinery', and applied it to characterize the functioning of aquatic ecosystems toward improving water quality.

How the term 'biomachinery' was introduced to environmental and biological science:
The story started in 1998.
In 1998, Dr. S.A. Ostroumov initiated and later chaired the session "Ecosystems as Hi-Tech Water Purification Biomachinery" at the ASLO Meeting Limnology and Oceanography: Navigating into the Next Century. February 1-5, 1999, Santa Fe, New Mexico, the U.S.A.; it is the first time that he introduced the scientific term 'biomachinery'. Publication: See the abstract: Ostroumov S.A. Integrity-oriented approach to ecological biomachinery for self-purification and bioremediation in aquatic ecosystems. – Limnology and Oceanography: Navigating into the Next Century. February 1-5, 1999, Santa Fe, New Mexico. ASLO (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography), Waco, TX. 1999. P. 134;
The term is clear in its 2-part structure and almost self-explanatory. It conveys the idea of a mix of two things in mechanisms of functioning of ecological systems: one thing is individual biological organisms, and the second thing is their complex self-organization into a well-structured and efficient system so that the entire system functions as a hi-tech machine.

New key to red tides and other environmental challenges:Inhibitory analysis: Discovery and innovation in environmental sciences and ecology
Inhibitory analysis in ecology.
This is about a discovery and innovation in environmental sciences and ecology, item 3 on the list of 18 (the list see here [3])
This new approach in ecology allows to see better the real role of organisms of a higher trophic level in regulation of the organisms of a lower trophic level.
The method that was applied was to inhibit the functional activity of the organisms of a higher trophic level and to observe the consequences: what happens with the organisms of a LOWER trophic level.
It was done by the inventor of this methodology in the laboratory experimental systems with bivalve mollusks that that a higher trophic level organisms as compared to phytoplankton algae. The algae are a lower trophic level organisms as compared to bivalve mollusks. The bivalves feed on algae.
In my experiments, I decreased trophic activity of bivalves using special chemical inhibitors. I used my previous discovery that some chemical – surfactants – can decrease filtering activity of bivalves (more about this discovery see: http://sergostroumov.scienceblog.com/2012/04/15/new-facts-on-hazardous-biological-and-toxic-effects-of-surfactants-and-detergents-paradigm-shifted/ ).
The result of this series of experiments was very clear: as a result of my inhibition of the organisms of the higher trophic level (bivalves) I observed a very significant increase in abundance of the organisms of a lower trophic level (algae). The increase was – in some experiments – manifold.
What is the significance of this scientific result? It is really important as the abundance of phytoplankton algae is of great practical importance in such phenomena as eutrophication and algal blooms (also cyanobacterial blooms, red tides, brown tides, etc.). As a result, we got an instrument that helps us to evaluate and quantify the role of organisms of a higher trophic level (such as bivalve mollusks in water bodies and streams) to regulate and control the organisms of a lower trophic level (such as phytoplankton algae and cyanobacteria). Actually it is about how nature prevents us and itself from environmental disasters which happen when we damage those beneficial natural mechanisms of control. We know those disasters under the names of eutrophication and algal blooms.
The summary is given below.
A new approach was developed to explore top-down control in ecosystems: eutrophication, algal bloom, water self-purification.
New facts were discovered by the author about the organisms which are filter-feeders (suspension-feeders), these facts led to developing the new methodology to quantify the natural control mechanisms described above.
This new approach gave methodology to quantitatively estimate the role of organisms in regulation via food web in ecosystem. See more detail about this discovery on the site [1] and in the publication [2].

Seafood: New threat to aquaculture of marine mussels … and cultural heritage of Europe
New threat to aquaculture of marine mussels
This is about the bivalve mollusk, blue mussel Mytilus edulis.
Marine mussels are a source of delicious and healthy food. Marine mussels are a staple of many seafood dishes in various cuisines including Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Belgian, and others …
They are cultivated as aquaculture.
The pictures of these mollusks, with the Latin name Mytilus edulis, are given below.
The life cycle of marine mussels is presented here:
The geographical range of this species is on the map:
Discovery, scientific innovation.
New research discovered a new threat to marine mussels. It was found [2-7] that the mussels decreased their water filtration rate under the effect of some synthetic chemicals that pollute seawater. The name of these organic chemicals is surfactants (surface active substances, surface active agents). The surfactants are the key foam-forming component of detergents and shampoos.
Additional scientific information.
More about the effects of surfactants see in the blogs [1], and in the scientific papers [2 – 7 ].
This post is the forth one, to continue the series of posts on environmental and ecological issues [1-3].
Mussels and cultural heritage: poetry
Marine mussels were mentioned in the song – the song that tells the fictional tale of a beautiful fishmonger :
In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive,
["Molly Malone" (also known as "Cockles and Mussels" or "In Dublin's Fair City"),
a popular song, set in Dublin, Ireland,
which has become the unofficial anthem of Dublin City]
A legend grew up that there was a lady Molly, who lived in the 17th century.
In some books, she is represented as a hawker by day and part-time prostitute by night [8].
In 1988 the Dublin Millennium Commission endorsed claims concerning a Molly Malone who died on 13 June 1699, and proclaimed 13 June to be "Molly Malone day" [8].
The Molly Malone statue:
The Molly Malone statue in Grafton Street (Dublin) was unveiled by Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Ben Briscoe during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations, declaring 13 June as Molly Malone Day.
This poem and song became really important.
Therefore, conservation and survival of this species of bivalve mollusks is important from various perspectives: not only for reasons of food but also for reasons of cultural heritage.

Freelance work is immensely attractive to many for a multitude of reasons: managing your own workload, flexibility, remote working and diversity in projects are all commonly cited benefits.
Yet the realities of freelance work should also be laid bare to anyone wishing to pursue this career approach. Work can be sporadic, pay often frustratingly low, and the hours irregular. It is very difficult to plan your life around a freelance job, despite the apparent flexible working hours and absence of an obligatory place of work.
As with so many of life's activities, timing is key. You do not need to wait for the stars to align, but you should make sure that certain conditions are in place.
First of all, before you dive head-first into your new career as a freelancer, try to have some work lined up. Also, try to have a degree of financial security in place so you are not scrambling around trying to scrape enough together to feed yourself – if you are desperate, you will take on jobs that are unsuitable, poorly paid, and even damaging to your progression.
Next, be confident in the skills you are bringing to the table; prepare properly and try to fill any gaps in knowledge in advance. Then be sure that the market is buoyant and that the sorts of opportunities you are looking for are actually available, and desired. This requires a sensible amount of research before you commence, but that is just common sense.
Do you even know where you will go to win the work? There are multiple platforms out there, but be sure to pick the right one for your skills and the type of work you are looking for. This may mean using multiple platforms at the beginning in order to better gauge where the most suitable work is coming from.
Let's be clear: if you are a freelancer, you are self-employed, and that means you must organize every aspect of your work approach accordingly, from invoicing, to declaring income to the IRS. It is often advisable to set up as an LLC so that your personal and business finances are separated. Then you need to invest in the necessary hardware, and have a suitable place to work from.
Bank accounts, work scheduling, marketing, proposals, websites…There is a multitude of considerations, so just be sure to have thought them all thought through before you commence, as catching up further down the line can be an arduous task.
Before you price yourself in the marketplace, conduct deep research. What are individuals with similar expertise and levels of experience offering? Can you perform the job more quickly? What is your USP? Do not undersell yourself as then you are churning out work for less than you are worth and must therefore work more to stay afloat.
If you are a specialist, do not be afraid to charge specialist prices, and constantly review your pricing on the market and in light of your increasing experience.
The quality of your work is important, or course it is! But perhaps what is prized most highly in the world of the freelancer is reliability, and the ability to hit deadlines. Most clients would be willing to accept slight variations in quality to ensure that deadlines are consistently met.
Having said that, quality needs to be consistent too, it's just that the best freelancer is able to combine consistent quality with an unwavering reliability to deliver on time, every time. In the case where you believe a deadline to be unrealistic, raise the point immediately – never wait until the day approaches to break the news to the client that you feel the deadline cannot be met. Always be upfront and brutally honest. That will be respected and valued in the long run.
You must clearly define in your own mind how you go about the work you win. This covers every conceivable angle, from working times to payment time-frames to the way you set up a project. Consistency in your approach breeds success.
One of the perennial dangers of freelance work is that you find yourself hammering away at it morning, noon and night. Unlike a staffer, there are no set working hours, and you are never officially 'off the clock'. But you absolutely must set boundaries: for yourself and for your family.
Do not accept jobs that provide unrealistic deadlines as they will eat into your evenings and weekends, and you still run the risk of failing to hit that deadline, and as we have previously discussed, deadlines are sacrosanct in the freelancing sphere. Maintaining the correct balance keeps you happy, fresh and motivated, and that's when you perform your best work.
Although diversity of work may be one of your draws to the freelance profession, also be aware that finding your specialist niche will turn out to be highly marketable and financially rewarding. Once you have built a reputation for a particular skill, you will be in demand.
Many freelance jobs see you as an operator on a production line where different tasks are performed by different freelancers – the diversification you seek may end up coming in the form of different clients and different projects as opposed to different tasks. Being a generalist in the realm of freelancers is simply not as highly-prized as being a specialist, and don't forget it.
The gravy train in freelance comes from clients who return time after time looking for your particular expertise. Longer projects are especially desirable as they eliminate the need to continuously hunt for work, and provide the stability that smaller projects can be built around. And approach every job as if it could become that golden opportunity.
Most freelancers who are earning the money at the high-end of the market have established strong, prosperous relationships with a handful of trusted and respected clients. In most cases, these relationships began as a single job which grew into something much more due to your performance and reliability. You have fostered a positive relationship and that is a freelancer's dream ticket.
Approach every new job as with an eternally open mind, and always look for referrals and testimonials to keep building your reputation in your niche. Word-of-mouth referrals are incredibly valuable as you do not need to spend the time actively marketing yourself and tendering for work. Once you have established a solid reputation as a freelancer, continue to foster relationships and ensure your portfolio is ever-evolving to include your latest and greatest work.
A freelancer's reputation is his or her brand. It is hard won and easily lost, so treat it with the respect it deserves, nurture it, and help it grow.

BBC Lose The Voice To Rival ITV In A Bidding War
The BBC have lost 'The Voice' to rival ITV in a bidding war.
In a statement today BBC Acting Director of Television Mark Linsey confirmed that the upcoming fifth series would be the Corporation's last.
Lamenting that the show has been poached by the rival channel, he said: "The BBC is incredibly proud of The Voice, but the fifth series which starts in January will be our last.
"We always said we wouldn't get into a bidding war or pay inflated prices to keep the show, and it's testament to how the BBC has built the programme up - and established it into a mainstay of the Saturday night schedule - that another broadcaster has poached it."
Insiders at the BBC insisted that ITV were paying "substantially more" than this in order to retain it.
The deal comes after ITV bought the company which owns the rights to The Voice, Talpa, earlier this year.
The new deal means that ITV Studios will make the programme from 2017.
The big question now is...will ITV screen X Factor, Britain's Got Talent AND The Voice? Would all three shows be too much?

It's a Bird... is a 2004 graphic novel released by DC Comics under its mature-readers Vertigo imprint. Written by Steven T. Seagle, with art by Teddy Kristiansen, it is an autobiographical book that chronicles Seagle's thoughts as he tries to work out a new approach in one of the world's most popular characters, Superman while dealing with the "family secret" which has come back to the forefront.

Plot
In a flashback, five year old Steven and his little brother, Dave, are in a hospital where their grandmother soon passes away. Adult Steven narrates how he always thinks about that time, what was said about his grandmother, and about what was muttered concerning the "family secret" between his parents and the doctors. He also mentions how puzzled he was when he saw the Superman logo as one of the letters on a doctor's examination sheet. This was when he first read a Superman comic to his little brother; this would set up his path into being a comic book writer, but needless to say, he is not a fan of the Man of Steel.

In the present, as Steven finishes his current comic book project, his agent calls offering him a job to write Superman. Steven refuses, because he doesn't get the character, but his agent asks him to think about it. Steven narrates one thing he doesn't get about Superman, starting with the costume: he doesn't get why would anyone would wear that, and it makes him think of a kid from his school who wore to escape his outcast life for Halloween, only to wear it in the days after and get bullied for it. He meets with his girlfriend, Lisa, who mentions his mother called her looking for him fearfully. He doesn't tell her the details after he calls her, because he is afraid to talk about the "family secret" that claimed his grandmother: Huntington's disease. It's also what has made him afraid of having children, despite being told his father doesn't have it, so he and his brother won't. Steven discusses the idea of the outsider, someone in his words people would still notice if he or she were absent in people's everyday lives. Steven meets with his mother to which she reveals his father is missing.

These recent events lead back to Steven breaking down Superman: from how flawed the concept of his invulnerability is compared to Achilles, or even the Titanic were until they weren't; which in turn leads to the concept of the fictional Kryptonite, and then back to the real life Huntington's. Steven gets his friend Raphael to take him to his Aunt Sarah's house to search for his missing father, but the house turns out to be abandoned. Afterwards, Steven meets with then-Superman writer Joe Allen, where Joe talks to the cynical Steven the grand design of what makes Superman special, only for Steven to suddenly snap and punch him in the face. With the issue with Huntington's, his father, and hating Superman when he feels he's a fascist, a troubled Steven turns down the job to his editor. But his editor helps clear his head and gives him an extension. Steven thinks of a dream where Superman is naked and locks himself from his home, it happens again the next day but Superman is in full costume while everyone else is naked, but its much worse by comparison because his hidden self is exposed.

Steven's issues affect his relationship with Lisa, and when he tries to find courage to talk to her, even imagining himself as Superman, he ends up breaking down and they take a break, leaving Steven alone. Staying in bed for days, he becomes weak until Dave finds him, when he learns of their father's disappearance. They both go out to find him, and using his credit card transactions, they find their father has been at a hospital where their Aunt Sarah is a patient. Steven already knows why before he heads to her room, and sees the grim reality of someone suffering from Huntington's. He is confronted by his angry father who then starts a fight with his own son. It is then that Steven reveals what was said back when his grandmother died: if his father and mother knew about Huntington's in their family, they weren't have had their children in the first place. And that is why Steven's father is angry, because he is ashamed that because it didn't actually skip his generation, he might've passed it onto his sons just by having them. His father stops and breaks down, to which they along with Dave hug, gaining hope that they'll have the strength to confront any obstacle. At long last, because of this, Steven finally gets Superman, and the hope the character brings to his readers and fans.

Some time later, Steven has accepted and has been writing Superman. He and Lisa are back together, and things seem to be happy. The last scene is of Steven seeing two kids wondering what's in the sky, a bird or plane. He joins them and says "it's Superman".

Overview
Steve T. Seagle was the writer of the Superman title from issue #190 (April 2003) to #200 (February 2004), including Superman 10-Cent Adventure #1 from (March 2003). According to Seagle, he was basically a fill-in writer until Jim Lee came over to do what became Superman: For Tomorrow. Not favoring his work on his run, be became when the writer came up with It's a Bird...

The book primarily deals with the presence of Huntington's disease in Seagle's family, and the implications of this disease on family dynamics. It also depicts how someone with a mysterious disease in their family might respond to changes in their health or the health of their loved ones. Following that are the discussions on the apparent contradictions in the character of Superman, with one example being Superman's relationship with those he protects. Seagle makes mention of Superman's role as protector of the people, but he sees this more as an example of imposing a lifestyle on people against their will, something more akin to fascism. Other meditations on Superman include his approach to power, justice, alienation, and escape. This ultimately leads to the parallels between the "alien" nature of Huntington's and Superman's alien origins and impact on earth. But Seagle also depicts the need to accept something, regardless of whether we understand it or not. In the end, the book, while discussing the changing understanding of Superman and his implications in the modern world, also begins to re-imagine these implications. It advances a fresh understanding of what being "super" really means.

Teddy Kristiansen won an Eisner Award for his work on It's a Bird... in 2005, in the category of Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (Interior).
