In the event of a fire, it is necessary to turn off the ventilation, report the incident to the fire brigade and the immediate supervisor, and start extinguishing the fire with primary fire extinguishing equipment.

4.2. If a smell of gas is detected, it is necessary to close the general shut-off valve on the gas network, ventilate the room and take measures to eliminate the detected malfunctions. Leaks in the valves of the cylinder or reducer are determined by wetting them with an aqueous solution of soap.

It is not allowed to light heating and lighting devices until the room is completely ventilated and the malfunctions are eliminated.

4.3. In case of an accident, it is necessary to provide first aid to the victim, call an ambulance or send the victim to a medical institution, inform the administration of the organization.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Russia creates Noah's Ark 29.12.2014

In the scientific and technological valley of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, it is planned to create a large-scale bank of biomaterials. This is reported by TASS, referring to the statements of the rector of the university Viktor Sadovnichy.

The project was called "Noah's Ark". It involves the formation of a cryogenic storage of cellular material, which in the future can be reproduced. The complex will include modern computer platforms for the accumulation and analysis of information. A special system will connect the new biomaterials bank with other scientific sites both in Russia and abroad.

"I call this project Noah's Ark. It involves the creation of a depository - a databank of all life on Earth. If this project is implemented, it will be a breakthrough in the history of Russia," said Mr. Sadovnichy.

The cost of creating a bank of biomaterials is estimated at 1 billion rubles. It is planned to include cellular material of endangered species and those that are not yet threatened.

The scientific and technological valley at Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov can be built by 2018. It will occupy almost 430 thousand m2.
