The Japanese nuclear tragedy

Because the tsunami, nuclear plants was damaged in Japan. This damage in one of them produces leaking of radiation. At the beginning, the Japanese authorities don’t say the real magnitude of radioactivity in the nearby area. The situation becomes more dramatic, whit an increasing in levels of radiation. They can’t get cold the reactors, and a group of workers put in danger there life to try down the temperature. Helicopters use sea water to get cold the reactors, but from many days the reactors don’t get cold.

The levels of radiation was very high, and can produce intoxication by radiation and generate alteration in pregnant.  The government recommended close windows and doors, use mask and take medicaments to eliminate the radioactive iodine. I think that the Japanese government didn’t take all the measures to protect the citizen’s health.  They can evacuate a mayor area to safeguard the people health.  

When I compare with Chernobyl, the causes are different, because in the Japanese case was a great natural disaster that cause the problem.  But in terms of the impact, the Japanese case has equal or greater level of radiation that Chernobyl. This can do that the impact in the people’s health can be very great, and will be seen in a large period of time.

AsalBase website

Hi, today I write about the ASalBase site, that is the Atlantic Salmon genomic and genetic sequence database. The web site is: http://www.asalbase.org/sal-bin/index. The website has all the information of the Atlantic Salmon genome proyect. This site includes all the information generated by the cGRASP, which is the Consortium for Genomic Research on All Salmonids Programs. The effort to generate the Atlantic Salmon genome is made by an international aliance between Chile, Norway and Canada.

The sections of website are sequence, markers, genetic map, contigs, gene comparsions and BLAST. This site is a very useful tool if you work on genetics analisys in Atlantic salmon. You can search specific sequences, markers or genes in the database of the site. You can also compare your sequence whit the sequence on the database by the tool BLAST. I visite the website one time for month, because is very useful to my research proyect.

This site like to me because include all the information that exist respect to the Atlantic salmon genome, and I can compare sequences, find the sequence of specific markers, see genetic maps, all in the same website.

I hope that this site was useful for you.

Comments of Prince of Persia

The last movie that i saw was Prince of Persia, is a fiction movie about the Persa empire and  a young orphan that become in prince. After the Persa empire invade a holly city, the king is murderer and the protagonist is accused of the crime. He escape away  whit the princess of the city, and in the travel discover a special daga that allows back in time. The prince must comback and probe his innocence.

I recomend this movie, because is fun and have good special efects. Altought the trama of the movie is simple, you can get two hours of light entretainment whit this movie. I see of the same director Harry Potter and the Globet of fire, and i see to The good father.
