23. INTERMEDIATE RACES

Races intermediate between the three major races:

▪ Ethiopian (East African) the race occupies a middle position between the equatorial and Eurasian large races in skin and hair color. Skin color varies from light brown to dark chocolate, hair is more often curly, but less spirally curled than in Negroes. The growth of the beard is weak or medium, the lips are moderately thick. However, in terms of facial features, this race is closer to the Eurasian. So, the width of the nose in most cases varies from 35 to 37 mm, a flattened shape of the nose is rare, the face is narrow, growth is above average, an elongated type of body proportions is characteristic;

▪ South Indian the (Dravidian) race is in general very similar to the Ethiopian, but differs in a straighter form of hair and a somewhat shorter stature; the face is slightly smaller and slightly wider; the South Indian race occupies an intermediate position between the Veddoid and the Indo-Mediterranean races;

▪ Ural the race, in many ways, occupies a middle position between the White Sea-Baltic and North Asian races; a concave bridge of the nose is very characteristic of this race;

▪ South Siberian The (Turanian) race is also intermediate between the Eurasian and Asiatic American major races. A significant percentage of mixed races. However, despite the generally unsharp expression of Mongolian features, this race exhibits very large facial dimensions, but smaller than in some variants of the North Asian race; in addition, a convex or straight bridge of the nose, lips of medium thickness are characteristic;

▪ Polynesian the race occupies a neutral position according to many systematic features; she is characterized by wavy hair, light brown, yellowish skin, moderately developed tertiary hairline, moderately protruding nose, lips somewhat thicker than those of Europeans; rather strongly protruding cheekbones; very tall, large face, large absolute width of the nose, rather high nasal index, much smaller than that of Negroes, and larger than that of Europeans; Kuril The (Ainu) race, in its neutral position among the races of the globe, resembles the Polynesian; however, some features of the large races are more pronounced in it. In terms of a very strong development of the hairline, it occupies one of the first places in the world. On the other hand, it is characterized by a flattened face, a shallow canine fossa, and a rather large percentage of epicanthus; hair is coarse and significantly wavy; low growth.

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 ... >>

45-inch LCD TV from Sharp 18.03.2004

The Japanese company Sharp plans to launch LCD TVs with a huge diagonal of 45 inches on the market by this summer.

According to the company's analysts, the demand for LCD TVs will grow from 3 million units in 2003 to 7,5 million this year. This is the niche that Sharp is going to fill with its huge TV, which should retail at around $9,000.

Now, test production has already begun at the company's Japanese plant, which should smoothly turn into commercial production just in time for the summer. In total this year, Sharp intends to sell two million LCD TVs worldwide.
