Under what conditions does an android robot cause dislike in people?

The stronger the external resemblance of a robot or other object that looks and acts like a person with a real person, the more attractive it seems to us, but only up to a certain limit. When the similarity reaches a certain threshold, the robot begins to seem frightening and repulsive to us, most likely due to minor inconsistencies with reality. The corresponding “dip” in a positive emotional response versus similarity graph is referred to as the “uncanny valley” effect. Moreover, animation enhances both positive and negative impressions of the object. Cartoonists have long applied this principle, drawing characters that are supposed to be sympathetic, not too similar to people.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How do calories affect our weight?

We don't get fat from excess calories for one simple reason: calories have nothing to do with food! Calories are a measure of measurement: they measure energy or heat. One calorie is equal to the heat required to heat one gram of water one degree Celsius. To measure the energy that our body receives from food, we use a larger unit - kilocalorie. One kilocalorie equals one thousand calories. But why do they say that we get better from calories? In general, the food we take can be compared to fuel.

The process of digestion of food by the body is, in fact, an oxidation reaction, that is, "burning". And when we want to know how much fuel we consume and how much our body needs, we use the measure of fuel in the full sense of the word - calories! Different people require different amounts of calories to sustain life. But some general rules or requirements can be deduced. For example, the average adult needs between two and three thousand calories per day.

But suppose you are a factory worker. Since you use a lot of energy at work, you can burn from three to four thousand calories. And what about athletes and lumberjacks! They need four or more thousand calories a day. Children use more energy than adults. Older people need fewer calories because they cannot "burn" fuel as easily as people in early life. Those who work outdoors require more calories than those who work indoors.

Now let's see what happens if you get more calories than you need, that is, more than you use during the day. "Fuel", not used by the body, turns into fat and is stored for future use! And that's why people worry about the number of calories. If you want to reduce your calorie intake, do it with sugar, fat, and starch.

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 ... >>

If a bee stings a bacterium 05.03.2005

Bee venom may be able to replace antibiotics. The main component of bee venom, mellitin, a peptide (small molecule protein) consisting of 26 amino acids, has been shown to kill bacteria by destroying their shells. Moreover, bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics also succumb to it.

Biochemists from the Queen's University in Belfast (Ireland) identified two types of mellitin: one is especially toxic to microbes, but destroys the shell of human red blood cells, the other does not harm red blood cells, but is not very dangerous for bacteria either.

Scientists hope to use genetic engineering to combine both molecules into one, retaining only useful properties in this hybrid.
