Особенности альфа-распада плутония-239 в Антарктиде

В начале этого века сотрудниками лаборатории С.Э.Шноля (ИТЭБ РАН) совместно с Арктическим и антарктическим НИИ РАН на станции Новолазаревская в Антарктиде была организована посекундная регистрация альфа-распада плутония-239. Получаемые с 2001 по 2010 год кремниевыми счётчиками данные записывались в файлы, суммарный объём которых составил около 1 Гб. Задачей этого продолжительного эксперимента было доказательство влияния космофизических факторов на альфа-распад, которое могло проявляться в виде суточных, мес Read more

Как приручить дракона или заставляем локальные LLM и VirtualBox работать строго на P-cores в Windows 11

Суть асинхронности в python

Добрых дней, товарищи хабравчане! Изначально я писал этот текст как конспект по асинхронности в пайтоне для самого себя, потому что вещь эта довольно хитрая и не хотелось бы в будущем растерять и забыть знания о ней, когда буду работать с другими языками программирования и фреймворками. Но потом решил попробовать переделать это в формат статьи и опубликовать, потому что сами знаете — когда кому‑то объясняешь, сам начинаешь лучше понимать. Очень надеюсь... Read more

Разработка модуля автоматического сопоставления чертежей с цифровой информационной моделью здания

На данном этапе развития строительная отрасль в России проходит процесс цифровизации. Выпускаются национальные стандарты, например, предназначенные для облегчения совместимости программных средств, используемых на всех этапах жизненного цикла здания. Ключевой проблемой этого процесса является низкий уровень подготовки проектировщиков для работы с ЦИМ и, как следствие, низкое качество подготавливаемых моделей. Из-за этого происходит большой разрыв между графической частью проектной документации и моделями, н Read more
