Hacked Gadgets Workbench Contest Winner - Hacked Gadgets - DIY T Workbench: ========= The actual workbench frame is made from an old computer desktop I found in the trash. Just before submitting this entry, I bought some 2nd-hand lab equipment (#’s 01 and 02): - (01) oscilloscope (on a shelf made of an old stand for a tractor feed printer). Great for tracing electronic signals. The tool par excellence for electronics. - (02) Function Generator (good for injecting test signals). - (03) Stereo amp (on shelf up near the ceiling) & headphones (for music while you work) - (04) experimenter’s board - (05) various multimeters. - (06) an old Black & Decker cordless screwdriver with a cord to replace the non-functioning batteries – no batteries to recharge or wear out and lots of torque (powered @ 5v from the PC power supply – see #19, below). - (07) Flood light (I prefer incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent). - (08) Safety Glasses (I tell my students : ‘Just because you have two eyes, it doesn’t mean you have one to spare!’) - (12) – "spare hand"

Ou même un serpent, comme on a pu l’entendre un temps avant que cela ne soit démenti ? Depuis 1940, des centaines de microbes pathogènes sont apparus ou réapparus dans des régions où, parfois, ils n’avaient jamais été observés auparavant. Or ces derniers n’y sont pour rien. La destruction des habitats menace d’extinction quantité d’espèces (3), parmi lesquelles des plantes médicinales et des animaux sur lesquels notre pharmacopée a toujours reposé. Ebola l’illustre bien. Il en va de même des maladies transmises par les moustiques, puisque un lien a été établi entre la survenue d’épidémies et la déforestation (4) — à ceci près qu’il s’agit moins ici de la perte des habitats que de leur transformation. Dangers de l’élevage industriel La destruction des habitats agit également en modifiant les effectifs de diverses espèces, ce qui peut accroître le risque de propagation d’un agent pathogène.
