This “explosion” of mucilage is due to the proliferation of microalgae (in particular Gonyaulax fragilis) that produce polysaccharides and proteins ...

THE’artificial intelligence is making great strides, but how is it really different from ours? human intelligence? Surprisingly, it is not clear how different the heuristics of our mind are from the statistical functioning of generative AI models. The artificial neural structure and that of our brain present many similarities and some decisive difference. What undoubtedly differentiates us is the provision ...

Fish are no exception, communicating in very different ways and using, often simultaneously, chemical signals (like pheromones), electric And soundIn this article we will focus on the latter, going into more detail about the acoustic ...
Losses in the electricity grid mainly represent that portion of energy that is dissipated as heat along the entire electricity supply chain, from generation to end user. These losses are present along all phases, including transmission (high voltage), distribution (medium and low voltage) and in transformer cabins. Under normal operating conditions, leaving aside the corona effect, we can say that ...
