Meal'n'Real

Decim Junius Juvenal

Phraseologism: Meal'n'Real.

Meaning: 1. Satisfying the needs of the people with power. 2. Negative description of vote buying and populism in contemporary politics.

Origin: From Latin: "Panem et circenses!" The author of the expression is the Roman satirist poet Juvenal (Decimus Junius Juvenal, c. 60 - c. 127), who, denouncing his contemporaries (the time of Emperor Augustus), writes in his 7th satire that they can be bought quite cheaply: give them bread and spectacles (literally: circus games). Already in ancient times (the reign of Emperor Nero), these words began to be perceived as a symbolic expression of the interests of the plebeian masses, the crowd.

Random phraseology:

Pineapples in champagne.

Meaning:

A symbol of the philistine dream of a bohemian, "beautiful life" (ironic).

Origin:

From the poem "Overture" by Igor Severyanin (pseudonym of Igor Vasilyevich Lotarev, 1887-1941). Also called his poetry collection (1915), where these lines were published: “I will turn the tragedy of life into a dream farce ... // Pineapples in champagne! Pineapples in champagne! // From Moscow to Nagasaki! From New York to Mars! "

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

New system for nanotheranostics 12.07.2019

Scientists from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Geneva (Switzerland) have developed a new nanotheranostic system that uses "harmonic nanoparticles" - a family of metal oxide nanocrystals with unique optical properties: they respond to excitation not only from ultraviolet, but also from infrared light which is much safer for the patient.

Theranostics is a developing field of medicine, the name of which contains the words "therapy" and "diagnosis". The idea of theranostics is to create drugs and treatments that are simultaneously used for early diagnosis of the disease, and for treatment, and for monitoring the patient's response. This saves time and money, and may bypass some of the unwanted biological effects that can occur when these strategies are used alone.

Today, nanoparticles are increasingly used in theranostics, which combine diagnostic molecules and drugs into a single agent. The nanoparticles act as carriers for a molecular "cargo" such as a drug or a radioisotope for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. This "transport" is directed to specific biological pathways in the patient's body and can avoid damage to healthy tissue.

Once in the target tissue, the nanoparticles either help make diagnostic images or deliver their payload (or both). Specialists control them with the help of light. It is an advanced "nanotheranostics" technology that has become a mainstream of research. Although it has numerous limitations, there are disadvantages that must be overcome.

A new system developed by the Gerber group avoids these problems by using bismuth-ferrite "harmonic nanoparticles" based on silicon oxide, which carry light-sensitive molecular weights. These systems can be easily activated with near infrared light (790 nanometers) and imaged at longer wavelength for drug discovery and isolation processes. Both of these features make the system safe for patients.

Once the light is triggered, the nanoparticles release their cargo - in this case, L-tryptophan, which the researchers used as a model. The scientists monitored and quantified the release of the "cargo" using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.
