Why are some people dwarfed?

Dwarfs, or, as they are also called, midgets, have attracted attention since time immemorial. Dwarfs were kept at many royal courts for the entertainment of the royal family. One of the most famous dwarfs, General Tom Tamba, has been seen by millions of people. His real name was Charles Stratton, and at the age of 25 he was 100 centimeters tall and weighed 11 kilograms!

People can be very tall, very short, or of normal height. Too much or too little growth is usually caused by some kind of disease or the way certain glands work or do not work. In general, human growth depends on heredity.

For example, in Africa, many men in the Watusi and Masai tribes reach two meters in height. For them, this is normal growth. At the same time, in Africa there is a tribe of pygmies whose people are about 130 centimeters tall. For them, this is normal. Dwarfs whose growth is abnormal usually have some kind of disorder in the endocrine glands. Endocrine, pituitary, adrenaline, as well as male and female gonads can affect human growth.

There are dwarfs whose head and body are of normal size, but whose arms and legs are very short. The reason for this is disease. The normal skeleton increases in size during childhood and adolescence due to the fact that the cartilage at the growing ends of the bones turns into bone. Cartilage disease can interfere with the normal growth of arms and legs.

The cause of dwarf growth may be a lack of hormones in the pituitary gland. The child grows during the first years of his life, and then his growth stops. The proportions of his body remain childish. Such a child can be helped by hormones.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
