			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sustainablog.blogspot.com/" title="Sustainablog">Sustainablog</a>un yayınladığı &#8220;<a href="http://sustainablog.blogspot.com/2007/03/british-scientists-studying-leaf-power.html" title="Sustainablog - British scientists studying leaf power" target="_blank">İngiliz Bilimadamları Yaprağın Gücünü Araştırıyor</a>&#8221; başlıklı yazı sayesinde güneşten verimli enerji kaynağı olarak faydalanmayı sağlayacak yapay klorofil üretimi konusunda yapılmakta olan bazı bilimsel araştırmalarla ilgili bir kaç web sitesine ulaştım.</p>
<p>Bu çalışmaların ortak yanı verimliliği arttırma yöntemi olarak bilimadamlarının, <strong><a href="http://www.biomimicry.net/" title="Biomimicry">biomimicry</a></strong> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionics" title="wikipedia - bionics">bionics</a>) kavramı yani modern teknoloji ve yeniliklerin geliştirilmesi sırasında doğada varolan benzer sistem ve oluşumların incelenerek, ilham kaynağı olarak değerlendirilmesi, hatta kopyalanmasına konsantre olmalarında yatıyor. Dünyayı ve doğayı çok daha iyi anlamamıza yarayan biomimicry araştırmaları sayesinde, doğanın evrimi sırasında sınanmış, denenmiş teknoloji ve sistemlerin yeni yaşam biçimleri ve ihtiyaçlara uygulanmasını hızlandırmak mümkün. Bu sayede doğadan elde edilen kaynakları hammadde ya da zenginleştirilmiş olarak direk tüketmektense, onları oluşturan süreçleri ve sistemleri irdelemek bu kaynakları farklı şekillerde değerlendirme esnekliğini bize kazandıracaktır.</p>
<p>Ayrıca hali hazırda kullanılan sistemlerin iyileştirilmesi ve geliştirilmesi de mümkün: örneğin Sustainablog&#8217;da bahsi geçen National Geographic&#8217;te yayınlanmış haberde Imperial College&#8217;da ki Prof. James Barber ve bir grup bilimadamı,  gerçekleştirdikleri çalışmalarla bitkilerin fotosentez sürecini oluşturan kimyasal reaksiyonların daha iyi anlaşılması ve kopyalanması sayesinde güneşten enerji kaynağı olarak sadece üzerine yansıyan ışınların %6sını kullanılabilir enerjiye dönüştürebilen klasik güneş enerjisi panellerine göre daha fazla verim alınabileceğini iddia ediyorlar. J. Barber&#8217;ın araştırmasının enteresan bir yanı sadece güneşi değil, bitkileri ve fotosentez süreci sonrasında açığa çıkan oksijen ve hidrojen ayrışmasını incelemesi. Bu sayede yenilenebilir enerji kaynağı olarak çoğu zaman ayrı ele alınan güneş ve biyokütlelerin tek sürecin parçası olarak irdelenmesi söz konusu. Yazının başlığını da bu nedenle &#8220;Bitkisel Güneş Reaktörleri&#8221; olarak seçtim. Bayağı <em>&#8220;high-tech&#8221;</em> geliyor kulağa ama sonuçta örneğin bir patates tarlası da bitkisel bir reaktördür diyebiliriz. Konuyu daha sulandırmadan sizi yönlendiriyorum: </p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070305-split-water_2.html">Splitting Water Molecules the Next &#8220;Green&#8221; Power Source? &#8211; National Geographic News</a></p>
<p><em>Plants use photosynthesis to capture energy directly from the sun, a feat that humans have been striving to achieve for years via solar cells.</p>
<p>&#8220;How will mankind be able to supply itself with the levels of energy it needs?&#8221; asked James Barber, a biochemist at Imperial College London. </p>
<p>&#8220;Really, there is only one solution … to use the enormous amount of sunlight available to us.&#8221;</p>
<p>An hour of sunlight falling on Earth equals all the energy that humans use on average in a year.</p>
<p>But to date solar cells have been inefficient energy converters—the most efficient plastic solar cells on today&#8217;s market convert only 6 percent of sunlight into usable energy.</p>
<p>Another option is to mimic the chemical reactions in photosynthesis, Barber said, specifically a step known as water splitting&#8230;</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Rüzgarın çevirdiği değirmenler bir rüzgar türbininin bu hareketi su altındaki pervanelere aktarmasını sağlıyorlar ve tekne ilerliyor. Revelation 2 bu sayede rüzgara karşı dahi gidebiliyor. Konuyla ilgili hararetli tartışmalar TreeHugger&#8217;daki linklerden de görüleceği üzere çeşitli düzeylerde devam ediyor.

<blockquote><p>Çimenler belki de gelecekte bir enerji kaynağına dönüşebilir, zira bilim insanlarına göre çimenden elde edilecek elektrik enerjisi dünya elektriğinin yüzde 19’unu karşılayabilir. Fotosentezle emdiği karbondioksit de cabası.</p></blockquote>

<p>Ntvmsnbc&#8217;nin Science dergisinden aktardığı bu haber de enteresan. Benzer konularda değişik çalışmaların devam ettiği anlaşılıyor. Haberde bahsedilen araştırmanın ilginç yönlerinden biri biyoyakıt hammaddesi olarak kullanılabilecek çimenin, mısır ve soya gibi kaynaklara göre hektar başına çok daha ucuz ve verimli olması. Değerini ve verimliliğini yitirmiş pek çok tarım arazisinin biyoyakıt hammaddesi yetiştirmek için kullanılabileceğinden ve yazıda adı geçen türden ot, çimen ve yeşilliğin yaydıklarından daha fazla karbondiyoksidi emdiğini anlatmışlar.</p>
<p>Ben golf alanlarının benzer amaçlarla kullanılacağını düşünüyorum. Hem dünya gereksiz bir aktividen kendini kurtarır, hem de katledilmiş orman ve tarım arazileri tekrardan işe yarar bir hale gelir. <img src='http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <strong>(Ogo&#8217;nun blogu golfe düşman bloglardan biridir. <img src='http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Öte yandan bu otlar ve çimenler Ege yöresinde zeytinyağı ve limonla güzelleştirilip leziz salatalar haline dönüştürülecek ve mutfak ve yemek kültürüne yapılmış bir katkı olarakta bilim adamlarının hanesine eklenecektir. Gördüğümüz gibi başlık boşuna atılmamış: <a href="http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/393544.asp">çimenler hayat kurtaracak</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we go, as I promised myself(!) I am publishing some photos from our trip to Sweden before it is 2007: precisely <strong>photos from Stockholm and&nbsp;from the Söderviken zone of Ornö island</strong>, which is just one of 24000 islands that form <strong>the Stockholm Archipelago</strong> or better said Stockholm Skärgården (garden on the rocks). <img style="border: 0px; float:left; padding:5px 10px 5px 0;" height="136" alt="wooden boat, s&ouml;derviken, stockholm archipelago, sweden" src="http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/StockholmandtheStockholmArchipelagophoto_107FF/ogo-sweden-%20264_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg" width="183" border="0"/>Some of these so called&nbsp;islands are small islots and rocks. This is not to scorn what you might&nbsp;experience in every single one of them&#8230; Nature was very&nbsp;generous when we&nbsp;were there&nbsp;and everything seem to be much more protected than it is in other parts of the world.<br /><span id="more-285"></span><br />Especially&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Stockholm Archipelago&nbsp;people seemed to&nbsp;obey what nature&nbsp;and local authorities&nbsp;was obliging them to do.&nbsp;I&nbsp;don&#8217;t want to&nbsp;imagine what &#8220;inversores&#8221;&nbsp;of, let&#8217;s say, Marbella or Karadeniz (Black Sea coast of Turkey)&nbsp;might have built all over those islands&nbsp;if only&nbsp;they had the chance. Most of the houses and cottages&nbsp;that I had seen in Ornö island were&nbsp;%100 wooden and built with&nbsp;great carpentry skill,&nbsp; with details solved precisely&nbsp;and pragmatically. Most of them were very well looked after&nbsp;and seemed to be built with&nbsp;&#8221;sustainability&#8221; in mind. Stockholm Archipelago&nbsp;is a great spot for anyone seeking to spend some time in&nbsp;nature by the sea&nbsp;and it should be even better if you don&#8217;t attract mosquitoes. I was bitten 25 times&nbsp;the first day&nbsp;from the back of my neck&nbsp;according to&nbsp;books of Greta. This affected me&nbsp;all along the trip&nbsp;both physically and psychologically <img src='http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . I wasn&#8217;t expecting such an attack in Sweden!&nbsp;A young swedish guy that we met told that this is a common problem in the bigger islands&nbsp;of the Archipelago.</p>
<p>Swedish&nbsp;versions of&nbsp;concepts like real estate speculation&nbsp;is probably&nbsp;non existent&nbsp;so these 24000&nbsp;islands&nbsp;seem to be very well&nbsp;protected. Though i am underlining the known fact that&nbsp;there are lots of Swedish who prefer to&nbsp;live in Turkish, Greek or Spanish coast. <img src='http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  If we can count on what Ingemo told&nbsp;us,&nbsp;until&nbsp;mid-90s, it was forbidden&nbsp;to foreigners to land some of these islands due to&nbsp;cold war issues. All these islands of Baltic sea were thought to be the ideal&nbsp;spots&nbsp;through the &#8220;enemy&#8221; might have been&nbsp;infiltrating. How stupid&#8230;&nbsp; The northern part of the Ornö island was totally deserted during our stay as it was out-of-season period (end of August). It was extremely calm and very beautiful with the sea, mossed rocks, huge trees, lakes and the locals of the island like squirrels, foxes and the company.&nbsp;The Söderviken zone&nbsp;is not&nbsp;completely open to Baltic sea and closer to Swedish mainland so the sensation was rather as if&nbsp;we were surrounded by a big lake where thousands of Swedes were sailing peacefully. Probably it is one of the zones of the world where boat-per-capita is the highest. It is just so nice to see people this much in contact with the sea.&nbsp;When we took the boat trip to visit <a title="Huvudsk&auml;r 360" href="http://ogomogo.com/blog/2006/10/07/huvudskar-360/">Huvudskär island</a>&nbsp; which is out of Stockholm Archipelago, we noticed that beyond the sheltered waters of the Archipelago there was the Baltic, windy and shaky. </p>
<p>Greta mentioned several times that Stockholm didn&#8217;t change a lot since the days she used to visit the town with her grandma. (nearly 15-20 years ago)&nbsp;Even <strong>the bald taxi driver of Stockholm</strong>&nbsp;was there as the old ice cream cartoon character was inclined the way it was. <img src='http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Although some of the local Swedish people were complaining that the days of welfare already came to an end,&nbsp;we appreciated that&nbsp;in old city center of Stockholm some entreprising people were&nbsp;serving <strong>masaje in-situ sin compromisos, </strong>as seen below.&nbsp;We&nbsp;could not figure out&nbsp;if this is the new swedish social democracy: massage for everyone but not free?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Desde hace un par de días en tele aparece el anuncio de un producto cosmético curioso. Se trata de una crema a base de <strong>extracto de baba de caracol</strong>. Vaya vaya&#8230; Parece tener una infinidad de beneficios y mejoras si tenéis la piel como la cáscara de un caracol.</p>
<p>Quiero deciros que no soy el responsable ni del producto ni del anuncio pero si que soy yo el autor de estas fotos. Son de un bicho ambulante en la isla de Ornö situada en el archipiélago de Estocolmo. Parece ser que esta babosa aún no se ha enterado del anuncio y por supuesto no usa el extracto de baba de caracol&#8230;.</p>
<p>Y es que cualquiera prueba esa crema después de ver eso.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This albino plant is my latest discovery in our modest balcony after receiving continuous attacks of snails &amp; small lizards and a bee building tunnels.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a class="imagelink" title="Albino plant - rosa mistica" rel="lightbox" href="http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/albino-plant.jpg"><img id="image24" src="http://ogomogo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/albino-plant.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Albino plant - rosa mistica" /></a></div>
<p>All these can be common in rural areas or a in a garden but we are in the attic floor of an ordinary building in Barcelona. We knew how <a title="Survivor Snail photographed in Ogo&amp;Greta's balcony" href="http://flickr.com/photos/ogomogo/10854147/">the snail</a> happened to appear there as <a title="Snail that escaped from Elvira's kitchen" href="http://ogomogo.com/blog/2005/04/25/survivor-snail-is-back/">explained here</a>.</p>
<p>Although the attitute of the bee and the snail should be respected, what we have here now is pretty much more intriguing. We can no more talk of the maternal instinct of a bee or the fight of a snail for its liberty but of a very complex combination of biological and genetic facts and conditions. You can blame me of drying out the bonsais but no one can deny that I helped the creation of a mini-cosmos.</p>
<p>The shape of the leaves remind me of rosa mistica that we have in the same flower pot.<br />
It seems I can not do a lot to make this albino rosa mistica grow bigger but we should not be as sceptic as the scientists explaining briefly a related question in <a href="http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bot00/bot00132.htm">Newton, Ask a Scientist page</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Question &#8211; How can I grow a plant tat is an albino plant,or a plant without chlorophyll,I know its possible to grow them and you may know the answer.</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>A plant that photosynthesises, and thus is green, cannot survive under normal conditions without chlorophyll. Seeds sprouted in the absence of light will produce white shoots, but they will live only as long as the food stored in the seed lasts. If there is some way to &#8220;feed&#8221; such a plant and keep it growing I have not heard of it.</p>
<p>J. Elliott</p>
<p>================================</p>
<p>http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF4/433.html</p>
<p>http://www.science.siu.edu/parasitic-plants/Chapter3.html</p>
<p>Anthony R. Brach, Ph.D.</p>
<p>=================================</p>
<p>There are seeds that produce albino plants. These are from plants that have a genetic mutation in their chlorophyll producing genes. You can order them from a biological supply company. There are also certain plant genes that are partially under environmental control and if you germinate the seeds in the dark and keep the plants in the dark, they will not &#8220;spend the energy&#8221; to produce chlorophyll in the absence of the sun&#8217;s energy. They can&#8217;t grow this way indefinitely however; they will &#8220;starve&#8221; without a way to produce food.</p>

<p><em>update: in less than one week the albino plant disappeared. RIP</em></p>
