The Influence of Virtual Reality on Human Mind
Our society is witnessing a rapid development of innovation technologies
which allowed to do scientific research in many spheres and, in particular, in virtual
reality (VR) and its impact on a human mind and imagination
Confidentiality in the Internet: a friend or an evil
Appeared last century, nowadays the Internet is used in all areas of human life.
Unfortunately, sometimes we disclose much more information about ourselves in the
web than ever before, and much information about us is gathered not only by
organizations where we study, work, get scholarship or salary but also by the largest
software manufacturing corporations such as Microsoft. That is why there is a tense
discussion about confidentiality in the Internet in the modern societ
Technological Singularity
Hypothetically, technological singularity is considered as irreversible changes
to the mankind resulted from technological growth due to the invention of artificial
super intelligence (AI). The major concern is that AI will come out of the control and,
finally, humanity will be deprived of their position in the world
Study of certain features of the electronic structure of the ternary alloys Ni2(Mn, Fe) and Ni3(Mn, Co)
The changes in electronic structure related to transport processes occurring during the alloying of he alloy Ni3Mn with iron and cobalt, and the ordering of the ternary alloys thus formed are presented. The Hall effect, the absolute thermal emf, the internal saturation induction, the Nernst-Ettingshausen constant, and the electrical resistivity were measured. Results show a decrease in the contribution of hole sections of the Fermi surface to the transport process occurs together with a considerable increase in the contribution of electron sections. In this case, the mobility of 3 dimensional holes decreases and the mobility of 4s electrons increases considerably
Ecological consequences of the playgrounds' reconstruction of specialized "park-stadium Khimmash", in Yekaterinburg
In connection with the World Cup in 2018 in the Russian Federation, including the qualifying matches of the World Championship in Yekaterinburg, the Government of the Sverdlovsk Regiondecided to place a training ground on the territory of the "Park-stadium Khimmash". For this purpose, a sports field reconstruction project was created and implemented. The article is devoted to the assessment of negative consequences for plantings of the "Park-stadium Khimmash" in Yekaterinburg as a result of the construction, which led to the destruction of 388 trees, 95 of them are pine trees. The park historically originated on the site of a natural pine plantation. Cutting down so many trees led to further disintegration of the stand. According to the project, the replacement of felled large park trees of pine and birch by willow and apple trees is recommended, which led to the destruction of natural landscapes that have survived in the urban environment. At the same time, not only the aesthetic perception is worsened, but the ecological criteria of the industrial area of the city are also reduced. First of all, the oxygen-producing possibilities of the plantation decreased, which is reflected in the economic assessment of the consequences. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved
