What does musical tempo mean?

This word is understood as the speed with which a musical work or part of it is performed. Since the XNUMXth century, it has been customary, both in classical and often in modern music, to designate the tempo with Italian words at the beginning of musical notation.

The tempo changes from largo (very slowly, solemnly) through lento, adagio, andante, andantino, moderato, allegretto, allegro, vivace, presto, prestissimo (as fast as possible).

Who were called boyars?

In ancient Russia, the closest people to the prince were his combatants. It was the squad that determined the strength and influence of the prince, the prince consulted with the warriors on all important issues, sent the warriors to follow the implementation of their orders. That is, a combatant is not just and not only a warrior, it is a confidant. Those combatants whom the prince especially trusted and who were members of the princely council were called boyars.

Later, the senior servants of the princely palace, who were in charge of certain services, were also included in the boyars: stables, food supplies and supplies, clothing, and weapons. With all this, the princely palace provided not only the prince, but also the squad, so that the economy of the palace was very extensive. Unlike the European nobles, the boyars did not have any privileges by birth. Of course, it was easier for the son of a boyar to become a confidant of the prince, of course, the boyars were richer than most other people, but in general they were advisers and managers appointed by the prince personally, by our current standards - high-ranking officials.

Even later, at the court of the Moscow grand dukes and the first tsars, the position that a boyar could take began to be determined by his generosity. This meant not only the antiquity of the family, but also the positions that the ancestors occupied. Even the tsar himself could not appoint, for example, the chief of the troops of the "thin-born" boyar, no matter how talented a commander he was. More well-born commanders would simply refuse to obey him. This order, called localism, was broken only under Peter I.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

MXene Smart Fabric 18.12.2020

Materials engineering experts at Drexel University have unveiled an extremely highly reflective fabric that, among other things, also reflects certain wavelengths of radiation.

Developments of this type are always something very promising and interesting, since they can be applied in a whole range of different tasks and directions, not to mention the fact that they can play the role of a full-fledged technological platform.

The new fabric is a kind of electrically conductive fabric for clothing, but the electricity in it does not pass through, but is retained as an active component and an element for further reflection of electromagnetic waves.

Given the fact that many of these developments have been presented in one way or another by many other companies, it becomes clear that MXene has a very interesting character - simply because it offers a much wider range of functionality and range of possibilities compared to alternative conductive fabrics. . According to the head of the scientific project, Yuri Gogotsi, this MXene smart fabric has a really promising character of reflecting not only most of the electromagnetic waves, but also some of the radiation, which automatically makes it useful for military needs.

It is still difficult to talk about any final format for commercializing and adapting this development to the masses, but the material engineering team from Drexel University notes that they have managed to achieve a really high rate of stability and performance of this smart fabric. At this point in time, it remains only to wait for further news regarding the improvement and expansion of the functionality of the presented smart fabric.
