Who can identify music on records without listening to it?

American physician Arthur Lintgen has the unique documented ability to identify a classical orchestral piece of music on a vinyl record without listening to it. First, he recognizes the places where the music is quieter or louder, as well as the duration of each part of the work, by the contours and depressions of the track, and then compares the result with the extensive knowledge base of European classical music from his head. Lintgen's abilities are not unlimited - according to him, he poorly defines the music of the pre-Beethoven era, as it is too uniform in its structure.

Which river is the deepest?

Amazon. It starts in the Andes at an altitude of 4840 m above sea level, crosses the entire South American continent, collects water from an area slightly smaller than Europe. Every second it carries an average of 220000 m into the Atlantic Ocean.³ water.

Due to the small slope of the channel, the sea tides spread upstream for 1400 km. These waves, called pororoka, accompanied by a terrible rumble, move at a speed of 25 km / h.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Mushkin REACTOR 1 TB SSD 08.05.2015

Mushkin Enhanced MFG, a company specializing in the production of high-performance computing devices, has announced the imminent release of new models of REACTOR Series solid-state drives to the market.

Buyers will be available SSD REACTOR with a capacity of 256, 512 GB and 1 TB. New items, according to the developers, are ideal for professionals and computer enthusiasts who want to "squeeze" the most out of their PC.

The manufacturer decided to mark the expansion of the REACTOR line with the launch of the Ghost Recon Phantoms Sweepstakes lottery, where you can win one of the valuable prizes ranging from $100 to $2270. Unfortunately, only residents of the United States can participate in the lottery. Also, for those who purchase one of certain Mushkin products (including the new SSDs) through the Newegg.com online store, a $30 Ghost Recon Phantoms top-up code will be offered free of charge.

The new REACTOR drives use the Silicon Motions SM2246EN controller. The data read speed reaches 560 MB / s, and the maximum write speed is 460 MB / s. Random read/write performance in 4KB blocks is 76k/74k IOPS, respectively. MTBF is 1,5 million hours.

Drives are capable of operating at temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius, and the manufacturer provides its new products with a three-year warranty.
