Which European monarchical dynasty was revered by Buddhists as the earthly incarnation of a female bodhisattva?

In Buddhism, Tara is a female bodhisattva who has achieved perfection and liberation, but refused to enter nirvana out of compassion for people. After Catherine II established the post of Pandita-Khambo-Lama - the head of the Buddhists of Eastern Siberia and Transbaikalia, the Buryat lamas recognized her as the earthly incarnation of White Tara - one of the hypostases of Tara, who is a healer and bestows good luck. Since then, Buddhists have revered every ruler of the Russian state in the form of White Tara, regardless of whether he was a woman or a man.

What physical law helped to convict speculators of illegal insider trading?

In 2013, US authorities launched an investigation into certain players on the Chicago Stock Exchange. They were convicted of illegally using insider information when they started trading futures on completely different terms than before, just 2 milliseconds after an important announcement from the Federal Reserve. However, the simplest calculation showed that it would take 7 milliseconds for information to travel between Washington and Chicago, even at the speed of light.

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 ... >>

Intel Alder Lake vPro Processors 05.03.2022

Intel introduced the 12th generation of Core mobile and desktop processors with vPro technologies. In fact, these chips are copies of the previously presented "regular" Alder Lake models, but have a higher level of data protection and remote administration tools. Therefore, these chips are primarily positioned as business solutions, but they can also be found in retail.

The new Alder Lake vPro processors incorporate features introduced with the 11th Gen Core vPro (Tiger Lake) mobile processors a year ago. Among them are Intel Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) and Intel Threat Detection (TDT). They are now part of the Intel Hardware Shield technology to protect software on systems running Windows. The company has also added new protections against ransomware, cryptomining software, and other attacks to Hardware Shield.

Alder Lake's updated vPro processor protection technologies, explains Stephanie Hallford, Intel vice president and general manager of Client Business Platforms, monitor "good" and "bad" application behavior. New protection technologies are designed to block attacks such as Living off the land, the task of which is to integrate malicious code into existing legitimate software in order to subsequently attack the entire system.

Alder Lake vPro processors also feature Total Memory Encryption Multi-Key (TME-MK) and Intel Virtualization Technology with Redirect Protection (VT-rp) technologies. Their tasks are related to providing hardware support for new virtualization features that Microsoft plans to add to future versions of its operating systems.
