Why did the Soviet censorship exclude an article about an ordinary music festival from the TSB?

In the Great Soviet Encyclopedia of the 1955 edition there was an article "Prague Spring" about the annual festival of academic music in Prague. However, in the next edition of the TSB, which came out after the infamous introduction of Soviet troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968, there was no longer an article with that title.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who better plays the role of the night luminary: the Moon in relation to the Earth or the Earth in relation to the Moon?

The illumination provided by the full Moon at its zenith on the surface of the Earth is 0,25 lux, while the illumination provided by the Earth on the Moon at full moon is 15 lux.

Thus, the Earth copes with the role of the night luminary 60 times better than the Moon.

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 ... >>

Antibiotics from cannabis 09.03.2020

Researchers from McMaster University (Canada) have identified an antibacterial compound produced by cannabis that could serve as the basis for the development of new drugs.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers has found that a cannabis chemical called cannabigerol (CBG) is an antibiotic against the methicillin-resistant, elastic family of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

The scientists focused on a non-psychoactive cannabinoid called CBG as it had the most promising activity. To conduct research, it was synthesized.

The research team found that CBG has antibacterial activity against drug-resistant MRSA. Exposure to the cannabinoid CBG prevented these bacteria from forming biofilms, which are communities of microorganisms that adhere to each other and to surfaces. This destroyed their resistance to antibiotics.

The results in the lab were confirmed when mice with MRSA infection were given CBG. The findings provide evidence of the real therapeutic potential of cannabinoids as antibiotics.
