Which conservatory bears the name of the composer who was denied admission?

The Milan Conservatory bears the name of Giuseppe Verdi, although in 1833 they refused to enroll him. The young Verdi was told that he was four years older than the usual age of those accepted, that he was not a citizen of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and that he lacked musical talent.

Can animals make long-range weather forecasts?

It has been observed that ground squirrels are able to "predict" a particularly harsh winter. In some years gopher burrows are especially deep. Those animals that hibernate in winter react to the approach of winter in a similar way.

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. ... >>

Siberian tundra under the threat of destruction 12.06.2022

Even if global warming could be drastically curtailed by reducing emissions, only a part of the northern Russian biome, including the island of Taimyr and most of the Palearctic, could survive. If current greenhouse gas emissions are halved by 2100, only 2500% of the Siberian tundra will remain in 5,7.

This conclusion was made by two German scientists Stefan Kruse and Ulrike Hertzshu from the Institute of Polar and Marine Research. Alfred Wegener after developing a climate model (named LAVESI) specifically designed to predict the changing relationship between the Siberian tundra and taiga.

The tundra is characterized by permafrost, poor animal diversity, and low vegetation, including shrubs, mosses, and lichens. The very cold average temperature does not allow many trees to grow, with the exception of willows and birches no more than a couple of meters high. The taiga, on the other hand, is a boreal forest located south of the tundra and consisting mainly of large coniferous trees such as larches.

The increase in temperature caused by global warming is allowing taiga trees to move north, "eating" valuable tundra soil - the main habitat of reindeer. The tundra is also home to arctic foxes, bears, wolves and lemmings, as well as many species of birds nesting.

If they disappear, as the German researchers suggest, the consequences will be catastrophic not only for biodiversity, but also for the indigenous population living along the natural resources of these lands, such as the Nenets.

The larger the area of forests, the more heat will be absorbed by the trees, which will lead to warming in the Arctic. This will provoke more cataclysms around the world, lead to the death or migration of species, and also complicate the delivery of goods by sea.

But even worse, as the permafrost melts, the tundra could release large amounts of accumulated greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - up to 1400 gigatonnes globally - which will increase global warming.

Scientists have developed a climate model capable of predicting the fate of the entire Siberian tundra, which stretches for about 4 km. They predict that if nothing is done to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the Siberian tundra will disappear by the year 000, being completely replaced by boreal forest. But even if we succeed in reducing carbon emissions, the tundra of the next few centuries will not be the same as it is today.

For example, the elimination of emissions by 2100 will save only 32,7% of the biome, which will be divided into two very remote regions - Chukotka and Taimyr Island. This will affect wildlife. On the other hand, if by the end of the century we manage to halve emissions, then in 2500, a little less than 6% will remain in place of the Siberian tundra.

One of the main problems of the tundra is that the advance of the taiga is almost impossible to stop even with further cooling of the climate. Researchers believe that people need to pay special attention to the environment right now, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and abandoning fossil fuels.
