these onto your average doodles or scribbles on their hieroglyphs the writing system used in ancient egypt this symbol of vulture corresponds to the less say. this with a sense of the lesser only. other symbols represent whole words like water. or god. not everything has been decided in the ancient texts that have been found to date but it is getting easier to do with the help of unsufficient intelligence. hieroglyphs pyramids and pharaohs are all part of the assassin's creed origins video game developers added an educational feature based on authentic ancient egyptian sources canadian historian maxine dong helped develop the educational concept the discovery tour could prove very useful for schools and museums.
normally we wait we make a game for entertainment for fun and we do discrepancies with history we recreate the narrative we create the story this time around we're used to same environments but it's not about conflict anymore it's not about the narrative it's really more about taking the time to explore. after a while developers realize that some of the hieroglyphs ancient egyptian writing can be extremely difficult to decode that gave them an idea for a research project which google wanted to support. realize that there's a. potential to decipher the year and with it to make it more accessible it takes years and years for someone to learn how you're just with ovitz and where as when we use a computer and a human we can do it easier. the computer uses artificial intelligence the computerized program learns to recognize and translate hieroglyphs the hieroglyph project needs a vast quantities of data so egyptologists worldwide are using an open source
software to upload and share images of ancient inscriptions to the platform. so the first book in the project will be extracting the card with a promise from a wide variety of original sources before working on the tools and algorithms that come to recognize in the darkness ultimately then we can analyze existing translations matching card sequences to unlock them meaning. that could be a boon for tony or sebastian rishta a professor of egypt on a g. at the free university in berlin. his team has been working on an electronic dictionary of an ancient egyptian for some thirty years it's still unfinished as hieroglyphs are far more complex than letters in a modern alphabet. and dozens of which is that unlike our abstract letters hieroglyphs or pictorial so you could draw them like tiny logos and make very.
action. you could place this or that into the hands of these little figures and that leads to the essential problem here the symbols are ambivalent even if. there are several variations of the same symbol. this is. the study of egyptology lacks enough funding to regularly work with artificial intelligence wish to welcome the game developers initiative but a usable computer translation from hieroglyphs is still a long way off. its machine just as you could hardly translate korean texan into german with today's computers if you can imagine how difficult it would be in to achieve a grammatically and linguistically correct translation from a string of hieroglyphics symbols into any modern language. scientists and gamers are working together to solve the riddle survey ancient egypt the databases are growing fast as egyptologists contribute decrypted translations
to the new digital hieroglyph library. the way the ancient egyptians wrote their hieroglyphs in rows columns that can be read from left to rice bowl from right to left an advantage for both right and left handed scribes guess that web video of the week. whether you left or right and it has nothing to do with you but with the past the brain that controls fine motor skills. it's mainly the left of the. left hand as it's the right. left hand is usually prefer the left side in other movements too. for example when picking. watch out. or not. most people only realize their preference once they can live with someone else
. give it a try. brewing coffee was once quite a messy affair milly's have been found that annoying she was a housewife who lived in dresden at the end of the nineteenth century and she loved coffee but she hated the pesky grounds that stuck to her tongue. then she had no idea she punched holes in a pot with a nail put in a piece of blotting paper on the coffee filter was invented. after applying for a patient she started a filter producing company. a simple process first the filter then ground coffee beans and hot water and outcomes delicious coffee free from those insufferable grounds.
coffee has often been the subject of scientific studies a recent one caused euphoric headlines the authors say the beverage is a real panacea according to the analysis regular consumption supposedly lowers the risk of heart attack stroke and even cancer. although there isn't solid proof yet the study says indicators on strong. showings of long can be said is that car for years and harmful and that it really does minimize risks associated with cardiovascular disease stroke and heart attacks. so for me personally saying that coffee can help prevent someone from having a heart attack or getting no logical disease or cancer that's going too far.
overall what is true is that the study has shown for the first time that affects also verifiable effects could exist. nutrition expert questions ina is a big fan of the beverage both privately and professionally he recommends coffee to patients with diseases of the liver. there's no disputing that caffeine consumption has a strong protective effect when it comes to liver disease not just in terms of helping to reduce inflammation but also in hindering liver fibrosis pathological changes to its connective tissue. for patients who have gotten liver disease not caused by excessive alcohol consumption seen or recommends up to six cups of coffee a day he says one compound in particular plays a key role. for the caffeine in coffee or first specific cell types on the liver by inhibiting their activity to him and in the end that helps forestall liver fibrosis and that in turn stops the advance of liver failure or cirrhosis.
researches at the university of kaiser's loud turn in western germany have discovered that coffee can even affect your genes. were able to show that the regular consumption of coffee protects d.n.a. a mat in turn could be associated with prevention of degenerative diseases like cancer or alzheimer's. in that four week study that researches looked at d.n.a. isolated from the blood of eighty four men half of the test subjects strength three large cups of black coffee a day the other half drank the same amount of water. in the end the team examined d.n.a. samples from both groups. this is the d.n.a. from two cells on the left hand side is the damage d.n.a. is pretty diffuse that's because these fine breaks in the. molecules create this
halo effect live on the right as a cell with little or no damage to the d.n.a. we were able to show that four weeks of coffee consumption in our test subjects reduced its minor damage. the way the coffee is prepared has an impact on this effect espresso beans are roasted longer than those for drip coffee that reduces the amount of acid in the concentrated shot making it easier on the stomach but filtered coffee contains less of the compounds kaffir style and come wheel to substances that have a negative effect on cholesterol levels in the blood they don't pass through the filter so for those who have high cholesterol levels filter coffee is the better choice. because of its stimulating effect cardiologists used to warn heart patients to stay away from coughing but they've now changed their minds. and she mentions some people have heart palpitations after two cups or higher blood
pressure those patients should stop with one. but if you like to drink up to five cups a day and tolerate it well then from a medical point of view there is no reason to stop. exceptions to that rule are pregnant women all those who show symptoms of bone loss as well as patients with cardiac arrhythmia. the study shows that drinking coffee could have negative affects in such cases there are more than a thousand compounds in coffee research is still trying to figure out exactly which aren't good for you your good is totally so shall we have to look and see whether we can enrich particular substances and the beans and whether we'll be able to isolate them for possible uses medications that's the direction research is taking . a position to be here. that's entailed then go ahead and treat yourself to a tasty cup of java. whether it's good for us or not that's
one thing coffee does have is a distinct aroma. how does a little smell test is it when you find nice or unpleasant and what about fish or lemons. germans tend to associate the scent of lemons the cleanliness but for spaniards chlorine smells fresh russians feel alive to fly that smells clean that's all you got from poland wants to know more about what the no snow. why do we experience some smells as pleasant and others much less so. lavender what a wonderful scent. the process of smelling itself is very complex after inhaling the said molecules bind to specific sites on all factory receptors there are three hundred fifty different kinds each is specialized for certain smells. the odor information reaches the long term memory and has strong
connections to emotional centers. whether or not we like a scent mainly depends on the context in which we first smelled it. we first experience many smells when we are very young even while still in the womb or later as an infant. by the way smelling is also important for flavor perceptions ninety percent of them arise not on the tongue but via our factory signals whether or not truffles taste good largely depends on whether we like their aroma. sense awaken memories and can put us in a particular mood that's why the purview ministry is so profitable apart from that how we are raised and social conventions also play a role. takes what for example it smells bad at. that's what we've been
taught that's why some go to great lengths to mask it. because of what is red white auburn but even if you. do have a size question that you've always wanted on sit we're happy to help out send it to us as a video text or voicemail if we all saw it on the show we'll send you a little surprise as a thank you come on just ask. you'll find us online at the d. w. dot com slash science and of course on twitter and facebook get in touch. did you know that more organisms live on your skin than they are people on earth does that make your skin crawl it shouldn't we need that epidermal ensemble minute might spread samples they live on and in our hair follicles their favorite meal see them but when this monogamy is out of balance you might find yourself with an edge
to scratch. it makes sense to take good care of your skin because it's far more complex than it looks the average person has almost five million haris all over their body a miniature forest and habited by a host of tiny organisms. among them bacteria viruses found guy at mines it's a microscopic zoo. and if all its inhabitants are in equilibrium your skin does just fine. but when they aren't you can develop conditions like any topic dermatitis. reuben heritable has had skin problems all his life at least in part due to imbalances in his micro biota with help from the latest research he hopes his skin will soon be able to heal its. self. claims the inflammations i get can hurt quite
a lot. dermatologist painter she is convinced that the distribution of microorganisms on the skin plays a central role and that's how. you carry a range of microorganisms some are good for the skin for instance they can protected by renewing its lip at layer but there are also microorganisms that are harmful that can cause infections or as is the case with a topic dermatitis to make them worse. so what makes microorganisms trigger a topic dermatitis and research is that a swiss alpine clinic in the town of davos are trying to find out they're carrying out a joint study with environmental medicine specialist cloudier title health money from alex morgan of versity in germany. there's a lot going on in the field of a topic dermatitis. the dermatologist take skin swamps she wants to
use the samples to measure what's called the skin micro biome by identifying every species of microbe that lives on the patient's inflamed skin with. our work currently focuses on the micro biome we've discovered that it's not in equilibrium in patients with a topic demonstrators and other chronic skin diseases there were microbes called stuff like caucus oreo's predominates and other species a few are in further between. the outer surface of the human body is a biosphere in its own right around one hundred billion bacteria viruses fungal and mites live on each and every one of us together with microbes that live and find us they make up the micro biome. a baby's first exposure to microbes occurs during birth when it comes into contact with his mother's flora that's why in individuals microbiome. it's similar to that of other family members. but similar does not mean
identical. micro biome is are unique just like fingerprints. and throughout our lives the microbiome constantly interacts with the environment we pass our microbes along to people and animals and receive players in return for healthy microbiome researchers believe it's because it's diverse. cloudier title hoffman is now trying to determine who can hurtles exact microbial makeup. that's no easy task because there is no way to distinguish between species under a microscope. each bacteria virus or fungus passed to be identified genetically through d.n.a. testing. it's
a laborious process. we all know the gene data looks confusing if you don't know how to read it. but reuben heard results are clear cut. here then what you can see here is that our patient with serious a topic dermatitis has a lot of stuff. on his skin this red bar here that's it in fact that saw compare this to results from a healthy subject the picture there is much more colorful and that's how it should be health is closely tied to microbial diversity. in an attempt to influence the micro biome the dermatologist applies the special cream to a test area she wants to encourage the growth of microorganisms that will help supplant the overly dominant staphylococcus aureus it's an approach that could spark a revolution and allergy therapy very good anyhow if we can make an improvement here and we'll finally have acquired some tools with which we could help many
patients with the haitian. reuben harrell is hopeful the treatment will work. if it does he might soon have a cream to change his skin microbiome for the better. hopefully the cream will work. but all medications that we run into our skin all swallow eventually end up in our head and ultimately inside of us that al water could soon be clear and clean in. a romantic little river in southern germany. clarified water from a nearby sewage treatment plant feeds into it it seems clean but looks can be deceiving that water still contains residues from drugs like painkillers antibiotics and blood pressure medication many rivers in germany now contain
heightened concentrations of the pain reliever die cliff and knock even though some sources of drinking water but that's not the only reason why water chemists at the regional environment office are concerned about drug residues. in the student being a stickler for not we can prove with our own studies that even at low concentrations of an ak has an effect on organisms in the water trout for instance which causes changes in their gills and in the kidneys and we're also focusing on former for example birth control pills which in extreme cases they can lead to the feminization of organisms so for preventive reasons we don't want these substances and drinking water because. that's why a team of environmental scientist taking part in a pilot project at a big varian sewage treatment plant is now trying to filter drug residues out of waste water it's a real challenge because medicines don't break down easily. by made the
comment of corn is and to be effective medications have to fulfill certain criteria they must be stable but resistant. they need to have a long shelf life and reach certain parts of the body where they're needed so they have to remain stable during and sematic reactions. that stability is also the reason why the body doesn't completely absorbed medications so a proportion of the medications you take are eliminated by urine. up to seventy percent of the dye cliff and that he swallowed is excrete again residue from creams and gels is also rinsed away in the shower bath and ends up in the waste water. the bavarian researches have built a reactor that can break down stable drug residues in it wastewater is post with ozone the process is already used to kill. but it also breaks down drug residues into their constituent parts.
the samples of waste water that have been treated with ozone illustrate how well it works they're carefully analyzed by vanno rifa noises colleagues at the regional environment office they conduct tests for example in a comparison untreated samples turned reddish orange samples treated with ozone remain clear. but in overall exhibit when it comes to hormones we're very satisfied after ozone nation there are practically undetectable but with other medications the situation isn't quite as rosy we have some good rates of degradation over ninety percent for example with type of a knock on average we're at about eighty five percent but that's not quite good enough since some of these medications like blood pressure drugs are not completely broken down by ozone nation another aspect is that the process of degradation could create problematic transformation products. so those own alone isn't sufficient
that's why in an additional treatment step the bavarian team is also testing two different filters says. thems the first employed salmon bacteria. the second uses activated carbon granules in early trials it was much more effective that's because the compounds left over after the nation and here readily to their uneven surface but the system has a drawback after two years at the latest the activated carbon particles are covered completely they can't absorb any more so the filters have to be swapped out and cleaned which is complicated and expensive. that's why the researchers have high hopes for a new activated carbon process that harnesses nature. and what's special about this granulated activated carbon is that when this carbon is
exhausted completely fall of biofilm forms on its surface and the microorganisms in this biofilm degrade the residues biologically so in other words this activated carbon has an advantage it can clean itself that of course also brings an economic advantage because we can leave the carbon in the filter for longer and that in turn lowers operating costs significantly. in twenty seventeen global sales of medications it around seven hundred ninety billion dollars that's one hundred fifty billion more than a decade before the race is on to find economical ways to sterilize water and remove drug residues but these researches have to be patient it can take about a year for a biofilm to form an activated carbon only then will they know whether the process could also work in large treatment plants. how often do you say yes when you really mean no. it happens
