What color won the War of the Scarlet and White Roses in medieval England?

Under this name, the internecine war (1455-1485) of feudal cliques in England went down in history, which took the form of a struggle for the throne between two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty - the Lancasters (in the coat of arms a scarlet rose) and the Yorks (in the coat of arms a white rose).

The death in the war of the main representatives of both dynasties and a significant part of the feudal nobility facilitated the rise to power of the Tudors. Their heraldic symbol was a bicolor rose (inner petals are white, outer petals are red).

What determines the sex of the embryo in reptiles?

In many reptiles, the sex of the embryo growing in the egg is determined not by the chromosomes of the parents, but by the ambient temperature. In this case, the dependence in different species may be opposite. In turtles, at temperatures below a certain value, only males hatch, and in lizards, only females.

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 ... >>

Build buildings like hornets 09.04.2005

Employees of the Swiss Institute of Materials Science believe that when designing and building residential buildings, it is necessary to take into account the experience of hornets.

These large wasps build light but strong nests with excellent thermoregulation from thin wood shavings, planed with sharp jaws and held together with saliva. In the nest, until late autumn, the temperature is maintained at 29 degrees Celsius, which is necessary for breeding juveniles. And in the summer heat, the nest remains cool. In the walls of the nest there are air chambers that conduct heat poorly.

The hygroscopic material of the walls accumulates water on cool, humid nights, and evaporates it on a hot day, cooling the nest. By creating such materials for building houses, a person could save a lot of energy used to heat and cool homes.
