Learning Another Language Appears To Slow Brain Aging By Up To 13 Years

A new study suggests multilingualism may slow brain aging, with bilingual people showing brains that appear about six years younger than monolingual speakers and people who speak four languages showing brains that appear up to 13 years younger. Researchers say earlier language learning and higher proficiency appear to strengthen the effect. The Guardian reports: Our brains are made up of billions of nerve cells that communicate with one another. But as we get older, the connectivity in our brains often dete

Как мы исследовали динамику турбогенераторов 800 МВт для Сургутской ГРЭС-2 в 1991 году: метод ЛАХ против «черного ящика»

Меня зовут Викторина Юрьевна Савельева, мне 87 лет, и сегодня я подвожу определенные профессиональные итоги. Хочу поделиться результатами одной уникальной работы, которая была выполнена в далеком 1991 году по прямому заказу Сургутской ГРЭС-2.Долгое время у меня сохранялся только рукописный черновик.

Разработчики опять ничего не поняли:)

Знакомая ситуация: задача ушла в работу, а через неделю выясняется, что сроки горят, фронтенд мычит, а результат вообще не то, что вы просили. Обычно в этом винят разработчиков. Но давайте честно: часто проблема начинается еще на этапе аналитики. Мое глубокое убеждение: лучший аналитик - это разработчик. Или человек, который научился думать как разработчик.
