Discussing what to eat

Chekhov A.P.

Phraseologism: Discussing what to eat.

Meaning: 1. About the feeling of hunger. 2. As an illustration for a dry clerical speech.

Origin: A quote from A.P. Chekhov's story "The Book of Complaints" (1884): "Passing through the station and being hungry, in the discussion of what to eat, I could not find lenten food."

Random phraseology:

One, one, poor thing, like a recruit on the clock.

Meaning:

About loneliness, restlessness.

Origin:

From the poem "In the midst of a flat valley" (author's title "Song", 1811) by the poet Alexei Fedorovich Merzlyakov (1778-1830), which later became the words of a popular song: "In the midst of a flat valley, // At a smooth height // Blossoms, grows a mighty oak / / In mighty beauty. / Tall oak, spreading, / One in everyone's eyes, / One, one, poor thing, / Like a recruit on the clock. "On the clock" - at the post, like a sentry. The poet M. A. Dmitriev (1796-1866) in his book "Trifles from the stock of my memory" ("Russian Archive", 1869) reports that he witnessed how this song was written by Merzlyakov: "He talked about his loneliness , spoke sadly, took chalk and wrote almost half of this song on an open card table. Then they put a pen and paper on him: he rewrote what was written and finished the whole song right there.

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. ... >>

Birds also have a cerebral cortex 05.10.2012

The cerebral cortex, the layered structure where the most complex information processing supposedly takes place, was thought to exist only in mammals. In humans, the new cortex - the neocortex - makes up the bulk of the cortex, while in lower mammals it is in its infancy. But a new study from the University of Chicago found that birds, too, have cells very similar to the neocortex, although they are anatomically very different from those of mammals.

A paper on a mysterious structure in the avian brain, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, confirms a long-standing hypothesis that has sparked debate for decades. The study sheds light on the evolution of the brain and opens up new models for studying the neocortex. "We used to be able to study cortical neurons only in mammals," says Dr. Clifton Ragsdale, assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Chicago. "Now we can use other objects for our experiments."

Both the mammalian neocortex and a similar structure in the avian brain called the DVR come from embryonic structures called the telencephalon. But while the neocortex is made up of six different layers of the cortex, the DVR contains large clusters of neurons called nuclei.

Neurophysiologist Harvey Karten suggested back in 1960 that the DVR performs the same function as the cerebral cortex, despite fundamental differences in anatomy. Now Dugas-Ford, Rugsdale and their co-author Joanna Rowell have tested this theory using newly discovered arrays of molecular markers. With their help, it is possible to identify individual layers of the cortex - for example, the "input" neurons of the 4th layer or the "output" of the 5th. The scientists then tested whether these markers are expressed in DVR nuclei. It turned out that even in bird species very distant from each other, all markers of levels 4 and 5 were expressed in certain nuclei, exactly where they should have been in the DVR, if we compare it with the cerebral cortex.

Further experiments should test the developmental stages that form these neurons in different structures, as well as the relative pros and cons of anatomical differences. But it is clear that such a structure in birds, like the cerebral cortex, is capable of supporting extended functions, and perhaps even providing advantages over mammals.
