The science behind the Cooper's test

A methodology behind the famous 12 minutes running test is very often well-know thing. The idea of this test was 12 minutes run, and that was giving very good knowledge about the physical condition of the person, and also it was controlled the hidden heart problems. The speed of the person is very easy to calculate by using formula range/2*10, as I wrote before, but the reason for this is, that the idea of the test was also separate people, who bought the results.


The 12 minutes time was given by the FBI and the mission of those tests was to uncover the persons, who made business in the military forces. The test was not limited to the running tests, the blood tests were also used for selection of men into those test. If the hemoglobin is very low, there is no change, that the person would get very high results in those tests. And the doping is also visible. So this is the reason, why the Cooper's test is made, but there is also another aspect in that test.


In this test is many prizes, and this makes persons try extremely hard. And the result is sometimes the heart attack or the breathing muscles paralyzing, if the person, who would be tested have used drugs or have neurological problems. This is the danger of that famous test, what is used in the selection of military personnel. But it is used in many more selection and following processes than the only military. The results of the tests are simply to analyze, and the best would be separated easily. The faking of the results is very difficult because if the person runs 3000 meters, would the formula tell the speed of that person 3000/2*10=15000 meters in 60 minutes. And this gives speed 15 km/h.


The similar dangers are in the ultra sports like triathlon. If the person tries too hard, the result could be death by fatigue. The results of the tests are sweeping, and they can use in the statistical analyses and comparison of the physical wellness of generations. This test is sometimes got critics, that it pushes people too much, and sometimes that test causes injuries or even death when somebody tries too hard, what is extremely dangerous.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca...

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require elec...

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica...
