When did the first icebreaker appear?

For navigation in the northern ice, transport and military vessels with a special hull shape are used - icebreakers. They pave the way for the rest of the ships that carry important cargo through the ice. Their hulls made of the strongest thick steel are egg-shaped and are not afraid of ice.

The history of icebreakers is very old. Back in 1864, the Kronstadt merchant Britnev decided to cut the bow of one of his steamships. It was this innovation that allowed a small ship only 26 meters long to extend navigation between Kronstadt and Oranienbaum for several weeks. In 1933 the Swedes built the first diesel-electric icebreaker Imer. A powerful power plant significantly increased the icebreaker's cruising range in the northern seas.

The largest and most powerful were Soviet icebreakers. One of them was completed in the city of Leningrad in August 1941 and went to the front instead of the northern seas. He fought quite successfully, but soon the guns were removed from him, and he went to fulfill his direct duties - to escort warships and cargo ships through the northern seas with the most necessary for the front.

The beginning of a new era in polar navigation was marked by the historic voyage of the Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika. On August 17, 1977, the Arktika, having overcome a strip of heavy ice, reached the geographic North Pole for the first time. Nuclear-powered icebreakers can break through a huge thickness of ice. The special shape of the stern protects the propeller, and in case of breakage, its blades can be replaced without entering the port. There are several helicopters on board the nuclear-powered ship.

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 ... >>

Diet improves mood 15.05.2016

For many of us, the very thought of dieting makes us depressed, and it's not just about giving up the food we like.

It is believed that calorie restriction itself has a bad effect on the psychological state: mood worsens, resistance to stress decreases, irritability increases, etc. However, all this is still largely a speculative hypothesis, and there are very few works in which would analyze the relationship between diet and our psychology.

One of these studies was the experiment of Corby Martin (Corby Martin) and his colleagues from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and several other US universities - for two years they kept about one and a half hundred people on a diet, periodically asking them how they feel in the sense mood, how they are with their sex life, whether their sleep has improved, etc.

To participate in the experiment were invited those whose body mass index ranged from 22 to 28, where 22 is normal, and 28 is overweight. All of them, under the guidance of a specialist, tried to limit their daily calories by 25%: they were taught what to eat, how to control portion sizes, how to select foods that would have the optimal ratio of essential nutrients and calories.

As a control group, the study included 75 other people with the same body mass index (from normal to overweight), who were not asked to go on any diet, but who were also forced to regularly fill out psychological tests questionnaires.

On average, daily calories were limited to only 11,9%, that is, only half of the planned 25%. Nevertheless, the effect was: those who were on a diet lost an average of 7,6 kg and, most importantly, their psychological state improved.

The participants in the experiment reported a good mood, an active sex life, their internal tension disappeared, and they slept better than those who did not adhere to the diet; positive effects were observed throughout the study.

Most of the volunteers had no problems with obesity, in other words, even quite healthy people, if they want to correct their figure, may not be afraid that they will become irritable or that their sleep will deteriorate - on the contrary, having lost weight, they will also get good mood.
