From Ancient Greek: Pigmaios. Literally: The size of a fist. In ancient Greek mythology, the fairy-tale people were called pygmies - dwarfs, who were so small that they often became victims of cranes, like frogs. Therefore, the dwarfs had to fight whole battles with these birds. The legendary poet of Ancient Greece Homer (IX century BC) in his poem "Iliad" mentions the enemies of the pygmies - cranes, which "Fleeing from winter and torrential rains, / Over the turbulent ocean sweep with a great noise, // Rod pygmies bringing death with them and murder, / In the early twilight with them entering into a fierce battle "Then the great scientist of Ancient Greece Aristotle (384-322 BC) remembered the pygmies. He called the pygmies a very real and small people, the existence of which in Africa, at the source of the Nile, was already known to the philosopher at that time. Aristotle and should be considered the author of the term, which is now firmly established in the scientific language and is used as a characteristic of the undersized peoples of Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti Gallardo graphics cards with customized LED Lights 23.05.2019

Manli introduced the new GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti Gallardo with customized LED Lights. New items are distinguished by very large cooling systems with RGB lighting, and can also boast factory overclocking.

A massive cooling system with a height of 2,5 slots with three fans with a diameter of 90 mm is responsible for heat dissipation in the new products. They blow over three aluminum radiators, through which five nickel-plated copper heat pipes pass, assembled in a nickel-plated copper base. On the shroud of the cooling system there are elements with customizable RGB lighting. A reinforcing metal plate is fixed on the back side of the printed circuit board. Due to the large cooling system, the length of the video card is 330 mm.

Graphics accelerators are built on reference printed circuit boards from NVIDIA. This means an 8+2 phase power supply for the GeForce RTX 2080 Gallardo and 10+3 phase for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gallardo. For additional power, the younger video card has a bunch of 6- and 8-pin connectors, while the older one has two 8-pin ones. The energy consumption of new products is declared at the level of 225 and 260 W, respectively.

The new Manli graphics cards have received some factory overclocking. The clock speed of the GPU for the GeForce RTX 2080 Gallardo model will be 1350/1635 MHz, that is, 5,8% higher than the reference. In turn, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gallardo will offer a frequency of 1515/1800 MHz, which is 5,3% higher than the reference frequency. GDDR6 video memory in both cases will operate at standard 1750 MHz (14 GHz effective).
