11. Definition of the gender of nouns
In Latin, as in Russian, nouns belong to three genders: masculine (masculinum - m), feminine (femininum - f) and neuter (neutrum - n).
The grammatical gender of Latin nouns cannot be determined from the gender of Russian words equivalent in meaning, since often the gender of nouns with the same meaning in Russian and Latin does not coincide.
It is possible to determine the belonging of a Latin noun to a particular gender only by the endings characteristic of this gender in it. p. units h.
For example, words in -a are feminine (costa, vertebra, lamina, incisura, etc.), words in -um are neuter (ligamentum, manubrium, sternum, etc.).
A sign of the declension of a noun is the ending of the gender. p. units hours; a sign of the genus - a characteristic ending in them. p. units h.
Determining the gender of nouns ending in the nominative singular in -a, -um, -on, -en, -и, -us
There can be no doubt that nouns in -a belong to the feminine gender, and nouns in -um, -on, -en, -u - to the middle one.
All nouns in -us, if they belong to the II or IV declension, are necessarily masculine, for example:
lobus, i; nodus, i; sulcus, i;
ductus, us; arcus, us; meatus, us, m - masculine.
If a noun with -us belongs to the III declension, then its belonging to a certain gender should be specified with the help of such an additional indicator as the final consonant of the stem in gender. P.; if the final consonant of the stem is r, then the noun is neuter, and if the final consonant is different (-t or -d), then it is feminine.
tempus, or-is; crus, crur is;
corpus, or-is - neuter, juventus, ut-is - feminine.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Optical biometric sensor 1 mm thick
21.02.2016
LG Innotek has announced the development of a very thin optical biometric sensor designed for use in mobile technology. The sensor can be used as part of devices for determining heart rate, stress index and blood oxygen saturation level.
According to the company, the new development consumes less energy and is characterized by higher accuracy than existing solutions. As already mentioned, the sensor is also more compact. Its thickness is only 1 mm. It includes a photodiode, five LEDs and an integrated circuit.
According to a press release, the error in heart rate measurements does not exceed five beats per minute during exercise and two at rest.
