A unique biographical review of the global contributors to field of anatomy Knowledge of human anatomy has not always been an essential component of medical education and practice. Most European medical schools did not emphasize anatomy in their curricula until the post-Renaissance era; current knowledge was largely produced between the 16th and 20th centuries. Although not all cultures throughout…
The Lewis concept of acids and bases is discussed in every general, organic and inorganic chemistry textbook. This is usually just a descriptive treatment, as it is not possible to devise a single numerical scale suitable for all occasions. However quantitative Lewis acid-base chemistry can be developed by compiling reaction-specific basicity scales which can be used in specific branches of chemis…

Представьте себе сферический объект диаметром всего километров двадцать, но при этом в два-три раза массивнее нашего Солнца. Таковы нейтронные звезды, загадочные и удивительные. Они делают шестьсот оборотов в секунду, причем их вращение столь регулярно, что в недалеком будущем они, вероятно, будут играть роль галактической навигационной системы, направляющей людей к другим мирам. Научная журналист…
Это саммари – сокращенная версия книги «Миротворчество. Инсайдерский гид по урегулированию военных конфликтов» Северина Отессера. Только самые ценные мысли, идеи, кейсы, примеры. Нам нравится думать о homo sapiens как о мирных и милосердных существах, но давайте признаем очевидное: насилия в мире все еще слишком много. Международные организации тратят уйму времени и сил на то, чтобы установить мир…
Беспилотные автомобили – давно уже не плод воображения фантастов, но наша реальность. Мы стоим на пороге технологической революции, и совсем скоро нам не будет необходимости иметь личный транспорт. В будущем машины без водителей имеют все шансы вытеснить классические автомобили, управляемые людьми. Эта технология изменит наше отношение к поездкам, как когда-то смартфон изменил отношение людей к об…
