As a result, for the essay she received a triple with a minus with a comment that Kataev was thinking about something completely different.

What historical events were affected by the appearance of several Suns in the sky?

In rare cases, in the sky, along with the usual Sun, you can see several false luminaries caused by the refraction of sunlight in ice crystals floating in the air. This phenomenon is called parhelion, and in the past it has repeatedly become an omen of important historical events. For example, the Tale of Igor's Campaign describes how four Suns shone over the earth, which foreshadowed the offensive of the Polovtsians and the capture of Prince Igor. Three Suns before the Battle of Mortimer's Cross, one of the main battles of the War of the Scarlet and White Roses, frightened the soldiers of the York army, but the future King Edward IV convinced them that this was the personification of the Holy Trinity, and God was on their side.

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 ... >>

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.

A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The quality of raw meat will be determined by x-ray 15.06.2015

Specialists of the research organization SINTEF (Norway) have developed a technology for checking the quality of raw meat using X-rays.

The new system is able to determine the stiffness of meat, the content of water, bacteria, and foreign bodies in it. The density of muscle and connective tissue fibers, which are responsible for stiffness, is checked using weak x-rays.

This method also allows you to determine the ability of meat to retain water, which is expressed in the juiciness of the cooked product. The test results of a prototype x-ray for the food industry showed that even one piece of meat can be divided into two or three degrees of hardness.

The system can also be used by government food control agencies to detect bacterial contamination and promptly remove tainted batches of meat products from the consumer market.
