Odor
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it all: “People are able to distinguish more than a trillion odors.” In particular, instead of oler, they say in English “Olfactory stimuli”, that is: olfates. People didn't think their noses were so powerful...
Dr. G. Ohloff said in 1994 Scent and Fragrances: In the book The Fascination of Odors and Their Chemical Perspectives: the characteristic smell of pink (Rosa spp) is generated by the mixture of 275 components, but we only smell some of them. The smell of strawberry (Fragaria vesca) has about 350 ingredients...
It is often said that there are odours that drive us crazy, but there are also others that take advantage of odours. Kate McLean is the Director of the Graphic Design Program at Kent University, Canterbury Christ Church, England. The artist has become a great connoisseur thanks to the odour maps of many cities around the world. The main smells of Edinburgh are beer, grass, sea, fried potato shops and cherry blossoms (Prunus spp). Singapore frangipani loren (Plumaria spp) and jasmin or birch (Jasminun ifficinale). Thai wood and hot wine. Kieb's pine invaded the smells of joy. Amsterdam incense (Sacra Boswellia) and food.
He has also made a map of the smells of Pamplona, in the Mapamundistas project of 2014. I had gone to the Citadel, anxious, to sniff the grass, the trees and the mountain air. If I had gone for a walk to the mountain, what map would I make?
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
Egin du izotzak berea: azioa, txarkeria. Aspaldian ikusi gabeko izotz zuri galantak izan ditugu apirilaren bukaeran. Sator-lana baina agerian, inongo lotsarik gabe: azerikeria. Ikaragarria bota du Euskal Herriaren hegoaldean.
Mila gau eta bat gehiago ipuin sortaren antzera, azken 22 urteetako mila artikulu eta bat gehiago hauen kontakizuna aitaren batean igaro zait. Txoko honetan Gerezi sasoi aparta izenburua zuen lehen artikulu xinple hura idatzi zuen umemoko hari, Persiako ipuin sorta horretako Nur... [+]
Maiatz ederrari ekin diogu. Konturatzerako bero sapa azaleratzen diguten urteko egun luzeenetan gara. Urteko gau motzenak izango dira orduan, baina ikuskizun paregabea eskaintzen dutenak. Ez naiz ari jai txolinenei adarrak ipintzen dizkieten su-festa zalapartatsuez. Isilagoak... [+]
Uhaga edo ponpa izugarriak dira landareak. Zuhaitz handiak, zer esanik ez. Metro eta erdiko gerribuelta duen pago (Fagus sylvatica) batek egunero 400 litro ur behar ditu metabolismoari eusteko. 400 litro ur aurkitu behar ditu non edo han; sustraije ikaragarria garatzen du ur... [+]
Estimatzeko intentzio osoarekin sagardo botila bat ireki, edalontzia sudurrera hurreratu eta botila itxita izan duen tortotxaren usaina hartzea, horixe infernua!
Sekulakoa iruditzen zait aurtengo negua jo eta eskaintzen ari zaigun kolore sinfonia. Eguraldi xelebreagatik ote? Epel gozotik izotzera; lehorte punttutik uholdeetara. Ala neroni nabil halatsu, eta aurten begi berriak ditut...
Kosmopolita da getozka, Portulaca oleracea. Munduan barrena hara eta hona hedatu dugu, jakinaren gainean edo azpian, eta toki askotan ondo bizi da. Noranahitarra da, eta edonon nonahikoa. Dakigun guztia bezala, ez dakigu oso ondo nongoa den. Landareez ari garenean, ikaragarrizko... [+]
Orbel kontuak ekarri ditudala paperera eta, irakurle batek hosto ihar horiek landarezaleontzat zein onuragarriak diren aipatu zidan; krixtaua zen, eta “bedeinkazio” bat zirela zioen.
