Ek where tossed!
Gogol N.V.
Phraseologism: Ek where tossed!
Meaning: It is used ironically in relation to an interlocutor who starts talking about abstract subjects that require a separate conversation, or talks about his far-reaching, but unrealistic plans.
Origin: From the comedy "The Government Inspector" (1836) by N.V. Gogol (1809-1852), the words of the Governor (act. 2, fig. 8). When, at the first meeting with the Governor, Khlestakov recalls his debt for a hotel room and promises to pay it, the mayor, who takes Khlestakov for an important incognito official, sees this as a kind of subtle move designed to lull his vigilance. And he says to himself: “Oh, a thin thing!
Random phraseology:
This is how history is written.
Meaning:
About a significant event, which I was lucky to be a witness to.
Origin:
In Voltaire's comedy "Charlot, or Countess Zhivry" (1767), d. 1, sc. 7, the manager of the countess's estate reports to her that the people, seeing a troupe of wandering acrobats, imagined that this was the train of the expected king. "Everyone on the road was shouting ... the king! They are shouting about this in the village and among all the neighbors. They stubbornly believe this in your poultry yard, that's exactly how history is written." |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive A new method of observing the Sun
19.12.2020
An international team of scientists has developed a new deep learning method for stable classification and quality quantification of solar images from ground-based solar observatories.
To ensure constant monitoring of the Sun, regardless of the schedule of the day, night and local weather conditions, ground-based telescopes are located around the globe. However, the Earth's atmosphere imposes the strongest restrictions on observations of the Sun - clouds can obscure the solar disk, and air vibrations can blur the image. In order to select the best observations from multiple simultaneous observations and detect local deterioration in quality, an objective evaluation of the image quality is required.
The scientists applied artificial intelligence to obtain a quality score similar to human interpretation: a neural network was developed to learn the characteristics of high-quality images and estimate the deviation of real observations from an ideal reference. The scientists' approach is based on generative adversarial networks (GANs), which are commonly used to generate synthetic images.
For example, creating realistic human faces or translating street maps into satellite imagery. This is achieved by approximating the distribution of real images and sampling from it. The content of the generated image can be random or determined by the conditional description of the image.
GAN was used to generate high quality images from the content description of the same image. Therefore, the neural network first extracts the important characteristics of a high-quality image, such as the position and appearance of the solar cells, and then generates the original image from this compressed description. When the same procedure is applied to downgraded images, the network encodes the image content again, but omits the low quality features in the reconstruction. This is a consequence of the approximate distribution of GAN images, which can only generate high quality images.
The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), the largest ground-based solar telescope in the world with a mirror diameter of four meters, already saw the first light in December 2019 and plans to process about six petabytes of information per year. With the recent launch of groundbreaking missions to the Sun, the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, the amount of data carrying useful knowledge will only increase.
