Liver stones and sports

14.04.2000

Exercising two to three hours a week reduces the chance that you will need surgery to remove a gallbladder full of stones by 20 percent.

The medical records of more than 60 employees of American hospitals and clinics, mainly service personnel, were studied (from these people, who are always "at hand" with doctors, it is easier to obtain both consent to the examination and all the necessary information about lifestyle).

It turned out that among those who had to remove the gallbladder (and there were 3257 people), leading a sedentary lifestyle prevailed. Moreover, in order to avoid an operation, it is not necessary to seriously engage in physical education and sports, it is enough, for example, to walk 2-3 hours a week.

So far, there is no indisputable explanation for this dependence, but it is assumed that active muscle movements prevent stagnation of bile in the bladder, and hence the formation of stones.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Samsung Gear VR Virtual Reality Glasses 04.12.2015

Samsung has started selling innovative Gear VR virtual reality glasses, designed specifically for the mass consumer. The novelty allows you to experience the experience of viewing various content and games with a 360-degree view, allowing you to literally plunge headlong into the exciting world of virtual reality.

The new Samsung Gear VR is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and Note 5 smartphones. To start using Samsung Gear VR, you just need to insert your phone into the glasses - no additional settings are required. The processor of smartphones provides high application performance, and their Super AMOLED screen allows you to reproduce the image of the proper quality to create a sense of living presence in a three-dimensional space.

The glasses are equipped with a number of sensors that provide accurate head tracking and high response speed for the most realistic navigation in virtual reality - the user can freely look around without fear of image delay. And the intuitive touchpad provides convenient control in games or viewing content.

The novelty has an ergonomic design that guarantees wearing comfort due to the light weight of the device (310 g) with dimensions of 201,9 x 116,4 x 92,6 mm, as well as a soft adaptive lining that takes the shape of the user's face.

Samsung provides a wide range of content optimized for viewing on this device. To date, more than 150 applications are already available, most of which are free, and this list will be constantly updated, the company assures.

The price of the novelty is 125 USD.
