What major battle that took place on the territory of modern Russia in 1391 is not mentioned in most textbooks?

On June 18, 1391, in the battle on the Kondurcha River, the Samarkand Emir Timur defeated the Golden Horde Khan Tokhtamysh. It was one of the largest battles of the Middle Ages: according to various estimates, from 200 to 400 thousand people took part in it.

The significance of this event for the fate of the Russian state is very great: the defeat of Tokhtamysh on the Kondurcha River contributed to the disintegration of the Golden Horde and, as a result, the liberation of Russian lands from the Horde yoke.

Oddly enough, almost nothing is reported about the Battle of Kondurcha in Soviet and Russian historical literature.

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 ... >>

Implementation of the C-V2X vehicular communication system 20.01.2020

The State of Virginia, Audi and Qualcomm announced plans to pilot the deployment of a communication technology for exchanging information between a vehicle and its surroundings - C-V2X.

The system is expected to roll out upstate in the third quarter of 2020 to improve road safety to reduce road crashes and fatalities. On average, more than 36 fatal accidents occur in the United States per year. More than 6000 pedestrians die on American roads every year.

C-V2X systems use both direct short-range communications in the 5,9 GHz band and long-distance communications via cellular carrier networks. Available chipsets support both types of communications simultaneously in one solution, facilitating the implementation of the technology.

Low-latency C-V2X channel capabilities will be used to provide warnings for roadworks and when approaching regulated intersections on highways. Direct communication is carried out in the 20 MHz band (5,905 - 5,925 GHz) in the ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) band, which the US Federal Communications Commission has proposed to allocate for the operation of C-V2X systems. Less important messages will be transmitted via cellular communication. Advanced C-V2X mode assumes transition to 5G using 3GPP Release 16 specifications.

The initial phase of the project focuses on connected car systems designed to improve the safety of school buses, alert drivers to hazardous road conditions, and reduce vehicle congestion in narrow spaces and sidewalks.

On major highways, a solution based on the Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset will transmit information about traffic light phases and their duration to Audi Q8 SUV vehicles. Audi is a leader in V2X solutions, with its Traffic Light Information service operating in 25 cities serving some 10 intersections, more than 1700 of which are located in and around Washington DC.
