With his views and works, he had a significant impact on the development of world astrophysics in the 20th century. Shklovsky created a new direction - all-wave evolution. Author of a large number of modern theories regarding the star formation of the Universe

Sound intensity is the amount of energy that a sound wave transfers in 1 second through a unit area of the medium. The intensity depends on the frequency of the wave, on the acoustic pressure. As you can see, many other concepts are associated with intensity: a sound wave, its frequency, acoustic pressure, the flow of sound energy. In order to understand what intensity is, we will analyze in detail each term associated with it

The contribution to science of the Russian and Soviet scientist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov cannot be overestimated.

Ferroelectrics are similar in many respects to ferromagnets. In fact, these are their electrical varieties. In them, the magnetization I reverses the magnetic field H. But the microscopic structure of the presented components has enormous differences

Perceptron, or perceptron (English perceptron from Latin perceptio - "perception") - a mathematical or computer model of information perception by the brain (cybernetic model of the brain), proposed by Frank Rosenblatt in 1957 and first implemented as an electronic machine " Mark-1" in 1960. Perceptron became one of the first models of neural networks, and Mark-1 became the world's first neurocomputer

French sociological school is considered to be one of the areas of sociological research, the founder of which is E. Durkheim. In European sociology, this section occupies a special place, since it had a huge impact on subsequent scientific trends. You can briefly learn about the ideas of the French sociological school, its representatives and their concepts by reading this article

Erickson's epigenetic theory is an eight-stage concept that describes how personality develops and changes throughout life. This is a set of views that explain the nature of the formation of the individual from the moment of his conception and up to old age. She influenced the understanding of how children develop in childhood and later in life

The population of Saratov is represented by Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Koreans and Kyrgyz. There are many Tatars, Germans and Jews in the city. The demographic situation in the region is recognized as a crisis. The death rate outnumbers the birth rate

The rotation of bodies is one of the important types of mechanical movement in technology and nature. Unlike linear movement, it is described by its own set of kinematic characteristics. One of them is angular acceleration. We characterize this value in the article

Rotation is a typical type of mechanical movement that is often found in nature and technology. Any rotation arises as a result of the action of some external force on the system under consideration. This force creates the so-called torque. What it is, what it depends on, is discussed in the article

Man uses the method of induction everywhere in science, at work, and in everyday life. How to avoid hasty conclusions and decisions can be found in the article

The secrets of the Bermuda Triangle have been haunting the minds of the world community for more than half a century.
