• Biologist Dmitry Zhukov on Stress, Depression, and Displacement Activities

  …for new experiences, for minor stress. Two types of behavior People react to stressful situations using different strategies. The most obvious example is the difference between men’s and women’s reactions to stress. In general, women try to minimize the loss, whereas men try to maximize the profit. It makes sense: in nature, most male animals die fighting for l…

• ITMO’s Andrey Filchenkov: How To Train Neural Networks To Identify Debtors Based on Their Expenses

  …spending structure of people who returned their loans to the bank. Armed with this hypothesis, we developed an algorithm based on an autoencoder, which is a type of neural network that can produce reduced dimensionality representations of objects that have the most significant characteristics. To put it simply, at the start we have accumulated spendings of the ban…

• ITMO Researchers Suggest Design for Biointegrable Controlled Nanoparticles

  …egment. Then, when the particle is heated up, the molecule starts to move, prompting the shell to expand. This effect is the result of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interaction between these molecules: when they turn their hydrophobic parts towards each other, they repel each other and thus the polymer section becomes larger,” says Anna Nikitina. The nanoparticles…

• Researchers Highlight Inbreeding Among Amur Leopards Through Whole Genome Sequencing

  …ole genome sequencing. The most important discovery was how much Asian and African leopards differ genetically. The researchers compare this difference to the one existing between brown and polar bears, but in the case of leopards, it’s even more significant. Moreover, the analysis showed that the two groups separated about 500,000-600,000 years ago, around the ti…

• This Weekend in St. Petersburg: May 15-16, 2021

  …you tell that you are alive and human? In this exhibition, Adam Martinakis, a European artist residing in Athens, ponders on these very questions. For him, the timeless space between the human bodies captured in his images is the essence of existence, the ultimate void of perpetual transformation. Art often seems to get to the bottom of any matter in this sort of non…

• The Magic of Neural Networks

  …Basically, a neural network is a series of algorithms mimicking the operations of a human brain to recognize relationships between vast amounts of data. This concept is swiftly gaining popularity in various fields and is broadly used in financial services, translation, and recognition. Exploring the mystery laying behind neural n

  …s numerous events, and we actively participated in different competitions before the pandemic. Once, we visited a festival of green cosmetics. There, I noticed the difference between the cost of cleaning supplies and their components. The thing is that we’re paying not for the ingredients but for the brand. Nevertheless, people buy such products. After that festival,…
