At what point in the Irony of Fate can you see Oleg Basilashvili?

In the film "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" there is a funny bug. When Lukashin throws a photograph of Ippolit out the window, it shows the familiar hero played by Yakovlev. And when Nadia picks her up from the snow, Oleg Basilashvili is already depicted there.

The fact is that it was Basilashvili who was originally planned for the role of Ippolit, but was forced to refuse due to the death of his father. However, the episode with the raising of the photo has already been filmed, and they simply forgot to replace it with a photo with "Yakovlevsky" Ippolit.

How does a seismograph measure earthquakes?

When we think of an earthquake, we imagine buildings collapsing, giant cracks opening in the ground, and so on. What can be measured here? An earthquake is a shaking or vibration of the earth's surface. And these fluctuations are measured.

The cause of an earthquake is usually a "shift" in the rocks of the earth's crust, a fault along which one rock mass rubs against another with great force. Most of this gigantic energy causes vibrations in the rocks. These vibrations can travel thousands of miles and so the Tokyo quake can be detected and measured in England. Earthquake vibrations consist of three or more types of wave vibrations that are transmitted at different speeds through the rocks of the earth's crust.

Primary waves oscillate longitudinally, secondary - transversely and long waves are transmitted over the surface of the earth. Longer waves move more slowly, but they have a larger span and are the cause of all the visible destruction. Instruments called seismographs are located in various places around the world to record the vibrations of the earth's crust on a daily basis, because it is never at rest. Recordings from two or more seismographs help seismologists locate the location of an earthquake.

A seismograph is a carefully suspended weight that remains stationary when the rest of the instrument vibrates under the influence of an earthquake. In other words, this weight, hanging from a fixed rack, remains stationary during an earthquake. But the stand on which it is fixed moves, and a paper tape is attached to the stand, under the load. As the tape moves, the load leaves a record on it. The recording on the tape captures the time of arrival of the wave, the strength of the oscillation, and may even indicate the direction from which the wave came.

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 ... >>

Ideal street lamp 28.04.2013

A team of researchers from Taiwan and Mexico has developed an LED lantern that illuminates the street really perfectly: without shadow spots, with a minimum of light pollution and electricity consumption.

Street lights are a familiar element of the urban landscape, but they make a negative contribution to the environment: they create light pollution, consume a lot of energy, and in addition to all this, they illuminate the streets poorly - they leave unlit areas on the roads and streets. The latest advances in LED lighting have largely solved the problems of energy efficiency, but still a significant part of the light from street lamps does not go where it should. Light pollution problems exist in all large cities: night light interferes with birds, insects, plants, shines through bedroom windows and illuminates the stars, depriving us of the pleasure of admiring the starry sky.

The new LED system solves this problem. It provides uniform illumination of a specific section of the street at low energy costs. Usually street lights are placed in a checkerboard pattern along the streets and freeways. This limits the freedom to place the poles and also creates shadow patches that can only be avoided by installing more lanterns. The new lantern can be adjusted to any contour of the site, for example, it can illuminate only a rectangle of a road, a square of a parking lot, or any other surface shape. At the same time, the optical utilization factor (OUF, the ratio of the emitted light and the luminous flux on the object) of the new lamp reaches 51-81%. For comparison: in the best modern street lamps, OUF does not exceed 45%, that is, most of the light "flies" anywhere, and not to the desired object.

The main feature of the new flashlight is an unusual design. The luminaire consists of three LED clusters, each with a special total internal reflection (TIR) ​​lens. This lens focuses light so that the beams are parallel to each other. This process is called collimation. These lenses send maximum light onto the subject, while an additional diffuser eliminates glare and further reduces light pollution. The combination of collimator and diffuser also allows you to customize the shape of the light spot, for example, for a freeway it will be a rectangle. These light rectangles are easy to connect to perfectly illuminate the road: without dark areas and glare.
