Accountants - low ceilings

16.08.2007

Psychologist Joan Meyers-Levi, professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota (USA), analyzed the thinking of people working in rooms with a ceiling height of 244 and 305 centimeters.

It turned out that low-ceilinged offices encourage employees to concentrate more on the tasks they perform, work more accurately, and prevent and catch errors. High ceilings in the room help to generate fresh ideas, make long-term plans, and think high.

Thus, the management of the organization should sit in offices with high ceilings, and accountants - with low ones.

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 ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The age of a person is determined by blood 02.07.2018

Geneticists from the United States have learned to determine the age of the killer or his victims from one drop of blood left at the scene of the crime, which will help police and detectives quickly find the perpetrators and victims.

Even in the relatively recent past, investigators and detectives could only determine the identity of a criminal based on his description from eyewitnesses or fingerprints. About two decades ago, their arsenal was expanded with the development of DNA sequencing technologies.

In recent years, chemists, biologists and physicists have joined this work, significantly expanding the arsenal of forensic scientists. Scraps of various molecules in blood samples of victims or killers, in their fingerprints and breath marks on glass, reveal their gender, bad habits, ethnicity and many other traits that can sharply narrow the circle of suspects.

Lednev and his colleague Kyle Doty learned to calculate one of the main characteristics of criminals and their victims - age - by analyzing the spectrum of protein molecules present in human blood.

As the scientists explain, as the body develops and ages, the chemical and protein composition of our blood undergoes significant changes. Biologists have known about this for a long time, but a large number of such changes and a complex system of relationships between them prevented us from using this pattern to calculate biological and calendar age.

Doty and Lednev solved this problem by sidestepping it - they didn't reveal these connections, but simply studied which molecules are most often found in the blood of children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, using the so-called Raman spectroscope.

It allows you to accurately measure the number of molecules of different masses and find out their approximate shape by firing at the sample with a laser. Beams of light particles will collide with molecules, be absorbed by them and generate flashes of secondary radiation, the "color", twist and other properties of which will depend on the shape and structure of the substance.

By analyzing the resulting "rainbow", scientists can quickly track differences in the chemical composition of samples of blood or other bodily fluids, and determine the approximate age of their owner from them.
