DECRYPTION – This immense rainwater and wastewater retention tank, supposed to limit pollution of the Seine in the event of storms, was inaugurated Thursday, three months before the Olympic Games events planned in the river.
Wedged between the wall of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital and the pillars of the aerial metro, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, the brand new Austerlitz basin is immense, but invisible. This underground tank, 50 meters in diameter, more than 30 meters deep, is supported by around twenty reinforced concrete pillars which give it the appearance of a cathedral..
This emblematic work of the 1.4 billion euro plan aimed at making the Seine swimmable was inaugurated with great fanfare on Thursday, less than three months before the Olympic Games. « It’s a great day for Paris 2024 »declared Tony Estanguet, president of the Olympic Organizing Committee. This basin will according to him « allow you to approach this summer’s competitions with serenity ».
meteorites disappear with climate change
When we think of Antarctica and climate change, we first think of melting ice and rising sea levels. However, this polar region is not only home to penguins, but also entire fields of meteorites. If the ice melts, the space stones will literally sink below the surface and therefore disappear from our sight and reach. How can we estimate the extent of this phenomenon? Depending on the scenario considered, a new study reveals that between 25 and 75% of meteorites are expected to disappear and this process has already begun. Explanations with Harry Zekollari, climatologist, associate professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and co-author of this study published in Nature Climate Change.

He lived 75 thousand years ago They recreated his face
#lived #thousand #years #ago.. #recreated #face
Thanks to technology, scientists can access a lot of information about life thousands of years ago. They can even reveal what a Neanderthal woman looked like.
The skeleton, named Shanidar Z, had been buried for tens of thousands of years before it was first unearthed in 2018. When experts from the University of Cambridge and Liverpool John Moores first discovered the skull, it had flattened to a thickness of about 2cm. Therefore, it is estimated that he may have died due to a rockfall.
Now that face has been recreated as part of a new Netflix documentary called Secrets of the Neanderthals.
Palaeoanthropologist Dr Emma Pomeroy, from Cambridge’s Department of Archaeology, said: “The skulls of Neanderthals and humans look very different. Neanderthal skulls have large brow ridges and no chin; a protruding midface leads to more prominent noses. But the recreated face shows that these differences were evident in survival.” It shows that it’s not that sharp after all.”
The team used sequencing of tooth enamel proteins to determine the sex of the skeleton,

Samsung Group holds the position of number one smartphone manufacturer in the world but only holds 0.8% market share in China from 2018 to present.
A few days ago, Samsung Group announced its first smartphone exclusively for the Chinese market in seven years – the Galaxy C series. The letter “C” stands for China.
Chosun Daily quoted Mr. Roh Tae-moon, President and Director of Mobile Experience Business of Samsung Electronics, at a press conference in July 2023: “We are trying to take many measures, including established an innovation team in China to improve the situation of falling smartphone market share.”
Sammyfans identify Galaxy C as the Korean smartphone company’s effort to overcome a market share of less than 1% over the past 6 years. Galaxy C55 5G is a variant of the M55 smartphone version that the company has in India but has a different design. The device has a leather back in two colors: orange and black. However, whether Samsung can succeed is still an open question.
Counterpoint Research’s report on April 24 shows that Samsung has 0% smartphone market share in China in the first quarter of 2024. The billion-people market is dominated by Vivo (17.4%),
