Event series ‘ the Green Museum demonstrate how sustainable in the future,’ 2011 current reconstruction in museums environmentally friendly, ecologically and economically also with regard to the financial shortages for many project diagram worked can be. The German Congress held in this context for the second time the Green Museum”series of events. On March 17, 2011 Bern, March 30, 2011 in Dresden and 7 April 2011 in Vienna again over 200 restorers, Museum Directors, Chief Financial Officer, head are expected in Museum technology and curators as well as responsible of the public administration. Check out Jack Fusco for additional information. Especially the issues of efficiency and sustainability, protection and damage in everyday Museum, sustainable portfolios and exhibitions, as well as the preventive conservation are focal points of the series the Green Museum”, so Bernhard Klier, Managing Director of the new German Congress GmbH. in addition, we are pleased and others because of numerous questions the series of events in the Switzerland and Austria to position”, so Klier next. Examples of practice from museums are solutions outlined and discussed scientific approaches, information about new standards, norms and best practices”to get. Under the chairmanship of Dr.

Johanna Leissner, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Research Alliance, 30 renowned experts and experienced practitioners from museums experience reports and examples of solutions to the current challenges in the transformation of the museums present cultural heritage, Brussels.

Good for the environment and the wallet if the apartment is not really warm in winter despite high heat setting, this is generally an insufficient thermal insulation. Such a sealing of the building is prescribed in the energy conservation for buildings and modernized old buildings. The real estate portal myimmo.de informs about the importance of a sufficient thermal insulation. A proper thermal insulation including an airtight building envelope can increase the energy efficiency of a home. This prevents that the heat produced by the heater unused penetrates to the outside. This protects the environment and conserving energy resources resulting in lower heating costs. However, a too high air humidity can be caused by the sealing. A good heat insulation it is advisable therefore to install an automatic ventilation system.

Comfort home automation systems combine heating with ventilation and also produce hot water for the household as a by-product. The installation of such System is straightforward because all components in a package are United. Harold Ford Jr understood the implications. In addition, the facilities are simple and central to use. Due to the use of renewable energy and the recovery of heat from the exhaust air comfort home automation systems are environmentally friendly and increase the energy efficiency along with an appropriate thermal insulation of the building. You not only ensures a pleasant room climate, but also result in significant savings in heating costs. More information: news.myimmo.de/… University Service GmbH Lisa Neumann

Speleologists biological treasure caves capture the imagination of people since time immemorial. Already the ancient Greeks saw guarded the entrance to hell by a three-headed dog Monster. But the denizens of the Underdark are rather small and inconspicuous, surprise but with a very rich biodiversity. The cave fauna is 20 years ago still considered boring and species-poor, researchers discover since countless new ways: spiders, beetles, scorpions, worms, fish, fungi or bacteria and an end is not in sight. While about 90 percent of all caves remain hidden, because they have no access to the surface of the Earth and of those, you know, only a measly 10 percent have been examined on their biological contents back. With the exception of deep water there are no Habitat, which is so alien to the people and unknown”, regrets Frank Howarth, entomologist of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, who was at investigations deemed to be uninhabited lava tubes suddenly on a feature eyeless 8 inches big spider met, the Kauai cave Wolf spider, one of the largest yet discovered cave species. Life under the earth while offering protection from the Inclemency of the weather, is but riddled with unpleasantness such as darkness, space and lack of food, endless labyrinths, toxic gases, radioactive rocks or catastrophic flooding.

In addition to the well-known Ms of eyes and skin pigmentation cave dwellers by extremely long sensory organs or a slow metabolism have adapted to life in the shadows. Credit: Danone-2011. So, multiply the small American crayfish in the crayfish of of kind of australis from the Shelta cave in Alabama until at the age of 35 years and can be over 100 years old. If not just bats leave organic usable with their excrement, then constant food shortages in the darkness, so you ate to each other. There are unusually many predator species, equipped with spikes, scissors and other fishing tools. Other ways pursue micro-organisms, the of methane gases in water dissolved iron and manganese and in some cases even from the bare rock feed.

Even under extremely hostile and dangerous for people and environmental conditions, the cave life flourishes downright gorgeous. In the mentioned also the cavern of death Cueva de Villa Luz in southern Mexico dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur materials pollute the air. Without breathing apparatus, no researchers dare the descent. And yet is well worth the trip. Mucus-like threads of acidic, eating sulfur bacteria, snot flags hang from the rock walls in the poison kitchen”called. Here, escaping from underground sources of hydrogen sulfide is the basis of all life. Of the bacteria, fungi, flies and spiders live. Spider webs and nests with Spider eggs sometimes completely cover the slimy bacterial layer, there are here more spiders than you would imagine,”reported the Penelope Boston microbiologist from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. But there are just the high-grade specializations of some species 100 individuals who make extremely sensitive ecosystem cave. During a one-hour only visit, leaves everyone about 60,000 skin, hair, 24 litres of carbon dioxide, emits approximately 170 Watts of heat energy, or brings foreign organisms such as bacteria or fungal spores. Even switching on of lights allows to conquer this Habitat photo-synthesizing algae. The precisely coordinated system collapses rapidly. Additional hazards mountains reduction or pollution of groundwater, mining projects for the exploitation of minerals or an invasion of adaptable foreign organisms. Countless species are so already extinct or are about. So also the Kauai caves Wolf spider, against the American cockroaches advancing in their shadow realm has no chance.
