An atmospheric station in Křešín by Pacov was launched June 17, 2013 on the occasion of observing the 25th anniversary of the global environmental observatory in Košetice. The stations of Košetice and Křešín by Pacov have been consolidated and it is a major research and monitoring infrastructure in the Czech Republic and Central Europe. It consists of two components — the observatory at Koetice, operated since 1988 by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute and the atmospheric station Křešín by Pacov, which began operations in June of this year. The atmospheric station was built and is administered by CzechGlobe, the Global Change Research Centre of the ASCR, and is situated 100 meters from the observatory. and Mirka Šprtová.
We feature an interview with Professor Eva Za2imalova, a member of the Academy Council and the head of the Laboratory of Hormonal Regulation in Plants at the Institute of Experimental Botany of the ASCR. From 2007 to 2012 she was director of this institute. Her research is in the fields of auxin and cytokinins (mode of action of auxin. auxin binding site(s), regulation of levels of auxins and cytokinins in relation to cell division and elongation and themechanism of polar transport of auxin). and Marina Hužvárová.
International Workshop on Astronomical X-Ray-Optics (AXRO) organized by the Institute of Astronomy of the CAS was focused on presentation and discussion of recent and future technologies for future X-ray astronomy missions. One session was aimed on astrophysical aspects of X-ray telescopes/satellites, in which some review talks were given from leading scientists in this field plus some presentations of relevant Czech scientists. The goal of the workshop was to present and to discuss recent and future technologies for X-ray astronomy missions. These missions require development of mostly inovative technologies, and discussed the possibilities, the results obtained so farm and new ideas in detail. It is obvious that the requirements of future large space X-ray optics based on Si wafers, advanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics, but also other possible technologies and alternatives, as well as related advanced metrology, measurements and tests. and Martin Blažek.
Monstrozní, obří, tajemné, vražedné, vymykající se známým fyzikálním zákonům, přímo nepozorovatelné brány do jiných vesmírů... Jen málokteré objekty v kosmu se honosí tak barvitými a rozpruplnými označeními jako černé díry. A současně málokteré tolik dráždí zvědavost nejen veřejnosti, ale také astronomů, kosmologů a (astro)fyziků, kteří se snaží kousek po kousku odrhrnout roušku jejich tajemství. Černé díry se však nehodlají vzdát a vzdorovitě připravují jedno překvapení za druhým. and Jana Olivová, Michal Švanda.
