[17:43, 19/02/2022] Luiz Eduardo Robinson Achutti: Me buscava em casa, carro parecia bom. Não era de falar muito mas ouvia, respondia, respeitava. Onde não lembro. Depois sempre tinha engarrafamento na saída, íamos escutando os intermináveis comentários. Não sei quantos meses foram. Acho que era uma época ruim do Grêmio.

O médico Nelson Carvalho de Nonohay, ex-secretário da Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul e referência na área de cardiologia, morreu nesta sexta-feira (18) devido a complicações decorrentes de uma pneumonia bacteriana. Ele tinha 83 anos.
Dra. Valderês foi Auxiliar de Ensino, da turma dele, enquanto funcionava numa enfermaria da Santa Casa, antes da existência do Instituto de Cardiologia, onde foram os primeiros residentes.
Formado em Medicina pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Nonohay especializou-se em cardiologia em 1966, na quinta turma de residentes dessa especialidade na atual Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre (UFCSPA).  
Foi um dos membros-fundadores da Fundação Universitária de Cardiologia (IC-FUC) — Instituto de Cardiologia, criada em 1966 com o objetivo de desenvolver o ensino e pesquisa e aprimorar a assistência médica em cardiologia no Rio Grande do Sul, que veio a se tornar uma das maiores referências no país na especialidade. 
Nonohay exerceu suas atividades no IC-FUC desde que concluiu a residência. Foi o primeiro chefe e organizador da primeira unidade de tratamento intensivo coronariano do Estado, a segunda do Brasil. Exerceu também a chefia da unidade de assistência médica do IC-FUC. Ocupou o cargo de diretor-secretário da FUC e, nos últimos anos, atuou como presidente do Conselho Diretor. 
Foi, ainda, médico da Varig e presidente da Sociedade de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul nos anos de 1975 e 1983. Entre 1990 e 1991, foi secretário de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul no segundo governo estadual de Sinval Guazzelli. \
Torcedor do Grêmio, foi conselheiro do seu time de coração entre 1983 e 2007.
Nonohay deixa deixa três filhos, Juliana, Laura e João, e cinco netos.

Active galactic nuclei
Active galactic nuclei, such as the one shown in this graphic,
are the luminous centres of some galaxies and are thought to
be powered by supermassive black holes. Researchers 
reported this week that they had captured a sharp image of a
nearby active galactic nucleus, showing a glowing doughnut-shaped
object surrounding the hidden black hole.

Light emitted by most active galactic nuclei has key features that
allow the nuclei to be classed as type 1 or type 2 objects. A widely
accepted unified model suggests that this distinction arises because
the line of sight to type 2 objects is obscured by a dusty torus of matter
that feeds the black hole. A News & Views article explains more about
how the researchers managed the difficult feat of imaging the dust that
hides the black hole.

Mysterious new substance discovered inside Earth's core
(Shutterstock)


















Earth's inner core may be filled with a weird substance that is neither solid nor liquid,
according to a new study. 
For more than half a century, scientists believed that Earth's deepest recesses consist
of a molten outer core surrounding a densely compressed ball of solid iron alloy.
But new research, published Feb. 9 in the journal Nature, offers a rare insight into the
inner structure of the planet — and it's far weirder than previously thought.

For all of the recent strides we've made in the math world—
like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes
problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we're
forever crunching calculations in pursuit of deeper numerical
knowledge. Some math problems have been challenging us for
centuries, and while brain-busters like these hardest math
problems that follow may seem impossible, someone is bound
to solve 'em eventually. Maybe.
For now, you can take a crack at the hardest math problems

These Are the 10 Hardest Math Problems That Remain Unsolved

Largest bacterium ever discovered

A newly discovered bacterium, Thiomargarita magnifica,
challenges the definition of a microbe: its filament-like single
cell is up to 2 centimetres long. T. magnifica achieves its
unprecedented size by having unique cellular features:
two membrane sacs. One is filled with its genetic material;
the other, which is much larger, helps to keep its cellular
contents pressed up against its outer cell wall so that the
molecules it needs can diffuse in and out. Researchers have
dubbed these sacs ‘pepins’ — inspired by the pips in fruit —
and note that they blur the line between single-celled prokaryotes
and eukaryotes (the group that includes humans), which pack their
DNA into a nucleus.

Scientists say planetary intelligence is real, but Earth
doesn't qualify yet

(Shutterstock)



A group of astrophysicists has proposed that individual planets are capable of
developing intelligence — not the kind of smarts like knowing your ABCs,
but rather an intelligence associated with the interconnectedness of the life
inhabiting them. However, don't assume that our planet is in this intelligent
league. Earth is still one major step away from developing true planetary
intelligence, a milestone that, if achieved, could help us prevent the impending
climate catastrophe, the scientists said. 
In the new study, published Feb. 7 in the International Journal of Astrobiology,
a group of researchers argues that a planet can be deemed intelligent if it
demonstrates cognition — the capacity to know something about what's
happening and act on that knowledge. This could happen if nature and
technology on planets like Earth can evolve to the point where they are so
interconnected that they can recognize potential issues and create feedback
loops to counter them.

Science (2022). doi: 10.1126/science.abi8264.) A new, enormous family tree for all of humanity attempts to summarize how all humans alive today relate both to one another and to our ancient ancestors. To build this family tree, or genealogy, researchers sifted through thousands of genome sequences collected from both modern and ancient humans, as well as ancient human relatives, according to a new study published Thursday (Feb. 24) in the journal Science. These genomes came from 215 populations scattered across the world. Using a computer algorithm, the team revealed distinct patterns of genetic variation within these sequences, highlighting where they matched and where they differed. Based on these patterns, the researchers drew theoretical lines of descent between the genomes and got an idea as to which gene variants, or alleles, the common ancestors of these people likely carried.  Full Story: Live Science (2/25)  Ultraprecise atomic clock experiments confirm Einstein's predictions about time (Shimon Kolkowitz) Using one of the world's most precise atomic clocks, physicists have shown that time runs a tiny bit slower if you change your height above the Earth's surface by a minuscule 0.008 inch (0.2 millimeters) — roughly twice the width of a piece of paper. The finding is yet another confirmation of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, which predicts that massive objects, like our planet, warp the passage of time and cause it to slow down. "We're talking about measuring a change in how a clock ticks at a level a little larger than a human hair," said Tobias Bothwell, a graduate student in physics at JILA, which is run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado.  Full Story: Live Science (2/25)  Scientists discovered a new type of thermonuclear explosion that may never be seen again (NASA/JPL-Caltech) Astronomers studying a dead star on the edge of the Milky Way may have found evidence of a type of thermonuclear explosion that's never been seen before — and which may never be seen again. Dubbed a "hyperburst," this gargantuan explosion appears to have occurred deep within a neutron star (the ultra-dense, compact core of a dead star) after hundreds or perhaps thousands of years of heat and pressure building up. When the explosion finally ignited in 2011, it released as much energy in about three minutes as the sun releases in 800 years, study co-author Jeroen Homan, a research scientist at Eureka Scientific in Oakland, California, told Live Science.  Full Story: Live Science (2/25)  4th search for aliens near Milky Way's center comes up empty (NASA/JPL-Caltech) A sweeping search for extraterrestrial technology in the middle of the Milky Way has turned up dry.  The search, the fourth in a series looking for low-frequency radio waves that might be produced by alien civilizations, found no evidence of ET.
