What event led to the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar by conspirators?

On the Ides of March (May 15), 44 BC, the Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated by conspirators during a meeting of the Senate in Rome.

The reason for the assassination was Mark Antony's unsuccessful attempt to crown Caesar as king. This happened on February 15, 44. On that day, Caesar appeared at the feast in honor of the god Luperc (Faun) in the clothes of ancient Roman kings with a golden wreath, and Mark Antony offered him a royal diadem. Although Caesar rejected this proposal, the republican opposition took Antony's act as a signal to action.

What are antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines that are used to prevent and treat infectious diseases. "Anti" means "against" and "biotic" means "life". Antibiotics only affect certain life forms, the bacteria that cause disease. But antibiotics themselves are created on the basis of living organisms - bacteria, various compounds, larger plants.

Antibiotic production began in 1928 when Sir Alexander Flemming discovered penicillin. His discovery was investigated by other scientists, which led to the search for new antibiotics. Soil samples around the world have been studied in search of microorganisms that would be able to produce substances that are applicable in the fight against infectious bacteria. As a result, today we have a lot of antibiotics, including penicillin, streptomycin, aeromycin, terramycin. Some antibiotics, in addition to affecting pathogenic bacteria, can be toxic to the body.

How antibiotics stop the growth of bacteria is not yet entirely clear. Antibiotics are thought to prevent bacteria from getting the nutrients they need to grow.

Each infection has its own antibiotic. Some patients have a particular sensitivity (allergy) to certain antibiotics. They can cause hives, asthma, or more serious illnesses.

Sometimes antibiotic treatment takes a long period of time, and sometimes they are used prophylactically. With the advent of antibiotics, infections have become less likely to lead to death. Infectious diseases no longer pose a threat to human life.

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 ... >>

AOC AGON PRO AG274QGM Gaming Monitor 13.01.2022

AOC has introduced a new gaming monitor AGON PRO AG274QGM, which features an ultra-high refresh rate of 300 Hz (GtG 1 ms) and support for proprietary NVIDIA Reflex technology.

The novelty is built on a 27-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), which provides wide viewing angles, color accuracy and features NVIDIA's patented color calibration. The mini LED backlighting consists of 576 dimmable zones to deliver uncharacteristic IPS deep blacks, making the monitor VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified.

Support for NVIDIA G-Sync ULTIMATE technology allows users to take advantage of variable refresh rates to eliminate lag and tearing. What's more, this means reduced input lag, even when playing highly realistic HDR images. The built-in G-Sync module synchronizes the images on the screen with the GPU. As a result, the AG274QGM provides gamers with a truly smooth gaming experience without ghosting.

Games using the NVIDIA Reflex API reduce input lag by dynamically synchronizing GeForce GPUs with the CPU, allowing gamers to detect targets faster, respond better, and aim more accurately. In addition, NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer can work in tandem with NVIDIA Reflex-supported monitors and input devices, allowing users to see exactly what their system's overall latency is and play with the knowledge that their computer is running at the lowest possible latency.

In addition, AG274QGM is supported by NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer. This module tracks game mouse clicks by measuring the time until a pixel change (such as a flash from a gun shot) on the screen. For greater flexibility in everyday use, the AG274QGM is equipped with four USB 3.2 ports, allowing users to directly connect peripherals such as a keyboard or mouse. At the same time, the USB port marked in green is intended for devices that support NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer.
