What are cells?

Did you know that you have seen cells many times? If you break an orange slice, then the fibers that we see there are the cells. If you break the shell of the cell, then juice will flow from there.

Scientists believe that the cell is the building material that makes up all living things. There are living organisms consisting of one or two cells. Cells are also systems in which all life processes take place. Each cell of a plant or animal lives its own life and at the same time enables all living beings to carry out their vital activity.

Living cells, both plant and animal, are composed of a cell membrane, a jelly-like colorless substance called protoplasm, and a grain-like portion of protoplasm called the nucleus. It is protoplasm that is living matter.

Protoplasm, no doubt, can be considered the most complex chemical substance. All vital processes take place in it. It absorbs food and oxygen, converts part of the food into living matter, throws out waste, restores worn parts and reproduces.

Every cell needs oxygen and food. It needs energy to do its job. In order to provide every cell with everything necessary, higher living beings have a circulatory system that carries food and oxygen through the cells, and also removes waste.

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 ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Advanced driver voice assistant 22.07.2014

The Israeli research center GM is developing a system for voice control of automotive functions. The project is being developed jointly with the British developer of speech recognition technologies VocalIQ.

General Motors (GM) is partnering with British technology firm VocalIQ to develop an advanced voice control system for vehicle functions. With the help of new items, drivers will be able not only to give short speech commands to automotive electronics, but also to conduct a dialogue with it.

Work on the project is being carried out at the GM Advanced Technical Center in Israel, which is developing technologies for unmanned vehicles, robots and human-machine interfaces. The cooperation between GM and VocalIQ has been going on for several months, but the conditions for further work have not yet been determined, The Wall Street Journal writes, citing informed informants.

According to the publication, GM and VocalIQ are working on a prototype dialogue management system, which is subsequently planned to be built into the infotainment systems of American brand cars. The presence of such a development in the car will allow its owner, without being distracted from the road, to control some salon functions by voice - for example, turn on the wipers, adjust the volume of the radio or set the route in the navigator.

Many GM models support the Apple Siri Eyes Free platform, which allows you to connect your iPhone to the on-board system and use the capabilities of a smartphone (read SMS messages aloud, dial a subscriber number, use a search engine, etc.) using voice communication. VocalIQ technology is more advanced than current speech recognition systems, explained Richard Anton of Amadeus Capital Partners (one of VocalIQ's main investors).

As Anton noted, the product of the British company is aimed at teaching cars to understand people, especially those things that have not been previously said. The world's first self-learning system is being developed that learns the words spoken by the driver and their meaning, making fewer errors over time, added VocalIQ co-founder Steve Young (Steve Young).
