22. ASIAN-AMERICAN RACE

The Asian-American (or Mongoloid) major race is distinguished by swarthy or light skin tones, straight, often coarse hair, little or very little beard and mustache growth, average nose width, low or medium nose bridge, slightly protruding nose in Asian races and strongly protruding in the American, average thickness of the lips, flattening of the face, strong protrusion of the cheekbones, large face size, the presence of epicanthus.

The range of the Asian-American race covers East Asia, Indonesia, Central Asia, Siberia, and America. The Asian-American race is subdivided into several minor races:

1) North Asian: lighter skin color, less dark hair and eyes, very little beard growth and thin lips, large size and strong flattening of the face. As part of the North Asian race, two very characteristic variants can be distinguished - Baikal and Central Asian, which differ significantly from each other.

The Baikal type is characterized by less coarse hair, light skin pigmentation, poor beard growth, low nose, and thin lips. The Central Asian type is presented in various variants, some of which are close to the Baikal type, others - to variants of the Arctic and Far Eastern races;

2) the Arctic (Eskimo) race differs from the North Asian in coarser hair, darker pigmentation of the skin and eyes, less frequency of the epicanthus, a somewhat smaller zygomatic width, a narrow pear-shaped nasal opening, a high nose bridge and a more protruding nose, thick lips;

3) the Far Eastern race, compared with the North Asian, is characterized by coarser hair, darker pigmentation of the skin, thicker lips, and a narrower face. She is characterized by a high skull height, but a small face;

4) the South Asian race is characterized by an even sharper expression of those features that distinguish the Far Eastern race from the North Asian - greater swarthyness, thicker lips. It differs from the Far Eastern race in having a less flattened face and smaller stature;

5) the American race, varying greatly in many characteristics, is on the whole closest to the Arctic, but possesses some of its features in an even more pronounced form. So, the epicanthus is almost absent, the nose protrudes very strongly, the skin is very dark. The American race is characterized by the large size of the face and its noticeably less flattening.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Microplastics found in plant leaves 19.09.2022

In the studied samples of plant leaves, scientists for the first time found traces of microplastics. The discovery was made at the University of Presov in Slovakia.

Plants of the genus Dipsacus have characteristic paired leaves. They form a kind of receptacles that collect water and attract insects to it. Fragments and fibers of multi-colored microplastics up to 2,4 mm long were found there.

No extraneous sources of pollution around the area were recorded, so the plastic got into the flowers from the polluted atmosphere, the scientists concluded.

The appearance of plastic in plants is an indicator of possible current and environmental pollution by microplastics. However, as noted, further research is needed to obtain accurate information and test the methodology for a possible assessment of the local load of microplastics on the environment.
