In the opinion of experts of the Russian Defense Ministry, anti-tank weapons produced by western companies are worse and very expensive. New hydroelectric unit for tidal power stations A principally new design of the hydroelectric unit for tidal power stations has been presented by the Moscow Institute of Power Structures. What makes it different from the traditional one is that its main wheel axle is perpendicular to the incoming flow of water, due to which the unit itself and the station's units it is in contact with have become much simpler and cheaper. The Mezenskaya tidal power station, due to be build on the White Sea with the use of the new unit, will be nearly 20 percent cheaper than the axle one. Russian scientists from the Institute of Chemical and Physical Medicine of the Russian Health Ministry have worked out a new method to control cholesterol level in blood.
Cholesterol is the main cause for such a widespread illness as atherosclerosis.
The method is simple and absolutely painless. The cholesterol level in the body is determined without the slightest trauma. The new method is based on biochemical tests that can be conducted without penetrating the body's tissue. It is convenient for mass examinations and can reveal the risk groups and a process well underway. It is suitable for home diagnostics too.
