Style is a person

Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Phraseologism: Style is a person.

Meaning: Style is a unique feature of a person, which reflects his natural properties, while the ideas developed by him can be the property of many.

Origin: From a speech given by the French naturalist Georges Louis Leclerc Buffon (1707-1788) on August 25, 1763, when he was elected a member of the French Academy. Buffon, developing this maxim, proves that style is that unique feature of a person that distinguishes him from others, while the ideas developed by him can be the property of many. This meaning of Buffon's expression was gradually forgotten, it was rethought and began to be used in the sense that style reflects the natural properties of a person. The saying "Style reveals a man" was quoted by the English writer Robert Burton in 1621 ("Anatomy of Melancholy", 1621). Ancient Greek rhetorician of the 227st c. n. e. Demetrius wrote: "In any work of verbal art, one can discern the character of the writer" ("On Style", XNUMX, translated by T. A. Miller).

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. ... >>

Cardio watch will report an attack 16.02.2014

Scientists position the device as a personal device that measures the deviation of blood pressure from the norm, pulse, and fixes the presence or absence of arrhythmia. When the device detects a critical situation, it sends messages to relatives and doctors using the built-in GSM modem.

It is reported that scientists are positioning the device as a personal device that measures the deviation of blood pressure from the norm, pulse, fixes the presence or absence of arrhythmia. When the device detects a critical situation, it sends messages to relatives and doctors using the built-in GSM modem.

"We want to create a device for continuous use, for example, in the form of a watch, a bracelet. This will allow us to "monitor" the state without any additional human actions for 24 hours a day," said the head of the development team, university teacher Dmitry Medvedev.

According to him, the advantage of the shape of the watch is that it is close to the radial artery, so in the lower part of the case you can place sensors that allow you to measure pressure and pulse, as well as an acceleration sensor - an accelerometer that allows you to "filter" motor activity, which gives an error in measurements. An information display will be located on the front side of the device.

According to Medvedev, the method of measuring the speed of propagation of a pulse wave, used in the development, needs to be improved. "We have to solve a number of problems, for example, to separate the useful signal when taking an electrocardiogram from the accompanying noise, because the signal-to-noise ratio during the measurement is very low," he said.

The press service specifies that scientists are going to create a working prototype within a year. The developers are also thinking about how to introduce the device into the healthcare system.
