What plants are most often found on state symbols?

In this regard, the undisputed leader is the palm tree, the image of which appears on the state symbols of 22 countries (Bahamas, Venezuela, Haiti, Gambia, Dominican Republic, Western Samoa, Qatar, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Liberia, Mauritania, Maldives, Paraguay, Peru, Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Suriname, Sierra Leone, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, Ecuador).

The second place is taken by the laurel depicted on the state symbols of 18 countries (Algeria, Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, Greece, Dominican Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cyprus, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, San Marino, Tonga, France , Ecuador).

Significantly behind palm and laurel are oak, which is emblazoned on the state symbols of 8 countries (Honduras, Italy, Cuba, Lithuania, Mexico, Peru, San Marino, France), cotton - 7 countries (Azerbaijan, Angola, Pakistan, Tanzania, Turkmenistan, Uganda , Uzbekistan) and corn - 6 countries (Angola, Grenada, Zambia, Cape Verde, Kenya, Mozambique).

What effect does oral sex have on a woman's body during pregnancy?

In late pregnancy, a woman may develop a pathology called preeclampsia, which is characterized by an increase in blood pressure and the appearance of edema. This condition can be complicated and develop into eclampsia, which threatens the life of the mother and child. It can be caused by many reasons, among which there are immunological factors, namely the tolerance of the body to the father of the child, whose genes are present in the fetus and placenta. Several independent studies have supported the hypothesis that exposure of the female body to the sperm of the future father long before conception reduces the risk of developing preeclampsia. A significant reduction in risk is also given by oral sex already during pregnancy, and especially by swallowing semen after intercourse.

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 ... >>

Gold on a leaf 28.10.2016

Nanowires will give a transparent electrical circuit.

Transparent electronics is widespread today - in solar panels, in all kinds of interactive displays. All these are rigid objects, and in the near future, equally mass production of flexible ones will begin. How to ensure that the electrical circuit does not break, say, from folding an electronic newspaper sheet? It must be printed with flexible ink. It is clear that such ink must contain a metallic suspension to provide conductivity, but implementation methods may be different.

For example, researchers at the Leibniz Institute for New Materials, led by Tobias Kraus, decided to print with gold nanofibers. Such ink is applied to a substrate and then the desired pattern is printed using a stamp: the fibers are intertwined with each other, and subsequent plasma heating fuses their intersections, forming a single conductive network.

Having made the appropriate stamp, it is possible to print both a micro- and a nano-pattern capable of conducting an electric current. The human eye does not recognize this pattern, and light will pass through it freely. The consumption of gold with this technology is quite small, but for widespread use it is necessary to choose a less expensive metal.
