Bees' tiny brains beat computers |
蜜蜂腦雖小卻敵過電腦 |
Research has shown that bees can solve complex mathematical problems that keep computers busy for days, the Guardian reported. Using computer-controlled artificial flowers to test bee behavior, researchers wanted to know whether the insects would follow a simple route defined by the order in which they found the flowers, or look for the shortest route. After exploring the location of the flowers, the bees quickly learned to fly the shortest route for saving time and energy. In this way, they effectively solved the "traveling salesman problem," which involves finding the shortest route that allows a traveling salesman to call at all the locations he has to visit. Computers solve the problem by comparing the length of all possible routes and choosing the one that is shortest. But bees manage to reach the same solution using a brain the size of a grass seed. |
據英國《衛報》報道,研究發現,蜜蜂能解決的數學問題復雜程度之高,可夠計算機忙幾天。研究人員用電腦控制的假花來測試蜜蜂的行為,看它們是簡單地從認知花朵的先后順序得出飛行路線,還是會尋找最短的路線。蜜蜂們了解花的位置后,就很快地找到最短的飛行路線,來節省時間和體力。這樣,它們有效地解決了“旅行推銷員問題”,即如果一個旅行推銷員需訪問多個地點,如何找到訪問這些地點的最短路線。計算機解決此問題的方式則是比較不同路線的長度,從而選出距離最短的路線。但是蜜蜂用草種粒大小的腦子就能得出同樣的解決辦法。 |
Gladiator house in Pompeii collapses |
龐貝角斗士之屋倒塌 |
A 2,000-year-old ancient Roman house for gladiators collapsed in the buried city of Pompeii in the early hours of Saturday morning, the Daily Telegraph reports. Culture Minister Sandro Bondi said the probable cause was rain water that had infiltrated the house when it was restored with cement at the end of the Second World War after suffering bomb damage. |
英國《每日電訊報》消息,周六清晨龐貝地下古城內一座2000年的羅馬古屋倒塌,該屋是角斗士在出場之前的休息場所。意大利文化部長桑德羅·邦迪說倒塌的原因可能是該屋在二戰后用水泥加固的時候雨水滲了進去。該屋在二戰末期曾遭炸彈襲擊。
