What is impressionism?

Impressionism is a style in the fine arts of the late XNUMXth - early XNUMXth century, reflecting an instant glance, a momentary state of the depicted object. This style got its name from the painting by the artist Claude Monet "Impression soleil levant", i.e. "Impressions - the sun and air." Impressionism paid tribute to Degas, Pizarro, Renoir, Korin and other famous artists.

How is body temperature controlled?

In a room or building, a thermostat regulates the temperature by controlling the amount of heat produced by the heaters. In the human brain there is a region called the thalamus, which acts as a kind of thermostat. It controls the amount of heat in the body and keeps it at around 37 degrees Celsius. The body burns food and oxygen to obtain energy, primarily heat. Since the body produces heat all the time, it must have some way to get rid of its excess. Otherwise, it will get hotter and hotter.

The function of the thalamus-thermostat is to release some of the heat so that the body temperature remains constant. The air exhaled from the lungs takes some of the heat with it. Waste products, leaving the body, also take some heat with them. More of it comes out through the skin. It constantly releases heat from the body and that is why it always remains warm to the touch. The thalamus can cause the skin to give off more than normal heat, and less, if necessary. If the body gets too hot, more blood than usual rushes to the surface of the skin. As a result, more heat comes to the surface of the skin from the internal organs and, accordingly, more leaves the body into the air surrounding it.

On the other hand, if the body cools down, the capillaries under the surface of the skin constrict - and the blood flow here decreases. And the less blood circulates at the surface of the skin, the less heat it gives off. If our body gets too hot, we start to sweat. Sweat is a brackish liquid produced by the sweat glands. From these glands to the pores on the skin are thin tubes through which sweat enters the surface of the skin. There it evaporates, accelerating the release of heat by the body.

Moisture turns into gas and escapes into the air, taking with it the excess heat. This is why you feel colder when your skin is damp than when it is dry.

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. ... >>

Sony discontinues MiniDisc 11.02.2013

The Japanese company Sony has announced the cessation of production of its MiniDisc player. The native disc format player will be permanently discontinued at the end of this winter, with the final batch of these devices going on sale in March. The cessation of production means that Sony has exhausted the last stock of the components of the MiniDisc itself, which were also used in the Sony PSP game consoles.

Even with its limitations and shortcomings associated with the use of proprietary format discs in the player, the device lasted 20 years on the market, despite fierce competition from MP3 players from other manufacturers and the huge popularity of the iPod. However, in the 2000s, sales of the Sony MiniDisc dropped dramatically. However, despite the fact that the player will no longer be produced, the mini-discs themselves will still be produced in small batches, since the PSP console is still on the market.
