Which invertebrates are considered the most intelligent?

Octopuses are considered the most intelligent among all invertebrates and are even smarter than some vertebrates. For example, they can distinguish geometric shapes, get used to people who feed them, can be trained, and even become tame. Octopuses carefully take care of the cleanliness of their dwellings, "sweeping" them with a jet of water and putting waste outside in a garbage heap.

Which plant flowers become transparent after rain?

Gray's two-leafed is a plant of the Barberry family, common in the Far East, including Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Its unique feature is the transparency of the flowers after the rain. Under the influence of water, white flowers gradually lose pigmentation and begin to shine through, and, when dried, return to normal.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Biofilms in syringes for contouring 31.07.2021

Dermatologists from the University of Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia) examined 50 filler samples to determine in which cases biofilms were formed (if any).

The study involved five different lines of fillers based on hyaluronic acid with different concentrations. Samples were taken at four different time points: before injection, immediately after injection, one month after injection, and three months after injection.

Samples were injected into nine different areas of the face; volunteers - 27 women aged 18 to 55 years. The study did not find any evidence of seeding associated with reuse of fillers regardless of concentration and injection site.

The use of an appropriate sterilization procedure expanded the possibilities of using drugs. No correlation was found between storage time and infection risk.
