Phonobiologic wine has been selected as one of the 100 technologies of the Green Economy
This selection is being made from a survey of more than 3.00 cases divided between social, environmental, communication, technology and finance.
The initiative is of the Euro Brazilian Sustainable Development Council - EUBRA and UN Habitat. The cases to be published are being selected by the Advisory Board of Bright Green Cities together with entities connected with clean technologies, sustainable development and through the Internet.
The publication will be produced in traditional format and distributed to book stores and educational institutions around the world. The digital version will be available online for free download on partners sites of the event.

Arabidops-ISS
Endeavour has been launched on its final flight at 8:56 am EDT Monday, May 16, for STS-134’s 16-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS), with the Italian Astronaut Roberto Vittori as the Mission Specialist.
LINV is the principal investigator for the BIOKIS experiment called Arabidops-ISS (Arabidopsis on ISS). Arabidops-ISS mainly deals with the alterations in whole gene expression due to microgravity, as well as the analysis of genes involved in the gravitropic response (a plant’s ability to change its growth in response to gravity), with particular attention to the ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) signalling chain. This experiment will elucidate the role of cytoskeleton in gravisensing and the genes involved in the ROS signaling chain. The International Space Station is the only facility able to permit long-term microgravity conditions.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour will carry our experiment on the ISS tonight.
Space Shuttle Endeavour, with a crew of six including the Italian ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori, will leave tonight for the International Space Station, carring on board a LINV experiment: the BIOKIS.
Biokon In Space is a multidisciplinary scientific experiment in which different biological samples as algae, yeast, water bears and our Arabidopsis seeds will be grown on space for few days.
Then, after their rentry, their gene expression will be evaluated to find out if there is any genetic alteration following a short flight.
Watch the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour tonight, 29 April 2011. Liftoff is scheduled for 21:47 CEST (19:47 GMT) and streaming begins one hour before. watch the streaming
