Where was the temple built for bald Venus?

In the ancient Roman city of Aquileia, a temple to Venus was built, unique in its kind - it housed a statue of bald Venus.

This temple became a gratitude to the women of the city, who donated their hair for bows and catapults during the long siege of the city, as a result of which they managed to hold the defense.

What spacecraft did the newspapers call the upsnik?

On December 6, 1957, two months after the launch of the first Soviet satellite in history, the Americans tried to launch their Vanguard TV3 apparatus. Two seconds after launch, the rocket exploded. This failure was severely criticized by American newspapers, who coined many neologisms for the device based on the word "satellite", including "upsnik" and "kaputnik". A few days later, the Soviet representative at the UN sympathetically asked his American colleague if the United States needed humanitarian aid allocated by the USSR for undeveloped countries.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The impact of robot speech on people's trust in him 10.10.2021

Oddly enough, trust is a very important aspect of human interaction with AI. At the same time, trust as a phenomenon is rather complicated and depends on both internal psychological factors and external ones.

Psychological theories describe the capacity for trust either as a stable trait of a person formed early in his life, or as a kind of state of mind that is influenced by numerous cognitive, emotional and social factors later in life. Trust is usually described by two main characteristics: a positive attitude towards an object and a willingness to be vulnerable, accepting the possible risks associated with trusting another.

Scientists from the University of Palermo conducted an experiment in which they studied the effect of robot speech on users' trust in it. The findings have so far been published in the arXiv preprint database. It is interesting that the robot that participated in the study did not speak to people, but aloud to itself, that is, it reproduced some analogue of a person’s internal dialogue. The study also involved 27 people: each was asked to fill out the same questionnaire twice - before interacting with the robot and after.

According to the volunteers, they began to trust the car more after interacting with it. In addition, the robot's self-talk reinforced this "feeling" by making it psychologically human-like and explaining its actions and intentions to humans. This approach, according to the authors, can be useful in the development of the relationship between people and machines, and hence in their increasingly serious introduction into our lives. The scientists' next step is a large-scale study involving more participants.
