Why is it not recommended to run from a dog?

The dog's eyes are designed so that the dog can see a moving object at a distance of 800-900 meters, and the same object, but motionless, distinguishes only from 600 meters.

Movement in the dog's field of vision immediately attracts its attention, which is why you should not run away from the dog. Her instinct turns on, she immediately perceives you as prey.

How did the ball game originate?

It is curious how boys of all times and countries come up with games. The game of balls, for example, which is known to the children of any city, has been familiar almost all over the world since prehistoric times! True, no one knows when it appeared, but it obviously refers to the time when it was discovered that the round stone ball was rolling. And this applies at least to the Stone Age. Among the excavations of the Stone Age, scientists discovered small balls that were so small that they could not be used anywhere except for the game.

Before the advent of Christianity, the children of ancient Egypt and Rome played this game. In Europe, it began to be played in the Middle Ages. In England, this game originated from another called "balls". Today, the game is played almost everywhere in the world in one form or another. South American boys call her "hurts". Chinese guys roll the balls so that they hit each other. Children of Persian peasants make such balls from clay or use small stones. Even the Zulus play this game! There are two types of games in the USA. One is called "Arrows", the second "Game balls".

"Arrows" have another name: "Marbles", it is common in some parts of the country. Such a ball cannot exceed 19 mm in diameter, but must not be less than 0,53 mm. It can be made of glass, pressed clay, agate, or plastic. The winner is the one who hits the other balls more times. Sometimes the balls are named after the materials from which they are made. A large number of balls made of pressed clay or natural onyx come from Ohio. They also make balls from glass: the glass is melted and, while it is hot, is poured into a round, polished metal shape cut in half.

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 ... >>

Space data transmission using a laser 31.05.2023

A team of researchers from NASA, MIT, Terran Orbital and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ground station has set a record for transmitting data to an earth station using laser communications. The satellite was able to transmit data at a speed of 200 Gbps.

With such indicators, you can transfer more than 2 terabytes of data in one 5-minute pass over the ground station. Communication is provided by the TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) system, located at an altitude of about 530 km above the Earth's surface.

Located aboard NASA's Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator 3 (PTD-3) satellite, TBIRD was launched into orbit as part of the joint SpaceX Transporter-5 mission on May 25, 2022. The PTD-3 satellite weighs approximately 12 kg, and its TBIRD payload is no larger than a box of tissues.

Launched into space last May, the laser reached 100 Gb/s downlink speed by June with a ground-based receiver in California. This was 100 times faster than the high speed Internet in most cities, and more than 1000 times faster than the radio links traditionally used to receive data from satellites.

The fastest data networks on Earth are usually based on laser fiber communications. However, high-speed laser Internet for satellites does not yet exist. Space agencies and commercial satellite operators most often use radio communications.
