How did the Moscow Textile Academy come about?

In May 1899, Emperor Nicholas II approved the decision of the State Council to establish a spinning and weaving school in Moscow. The idea of its creation originated in the Department of Trade under the Ministry of Finance. The school was supposed to promote the development of the manufacturing industry in Russia.

The industry needed qualified personnel, so the well-known owners of textile manufactories - the Prokhorovs, Morozovs, Ryabushinskys, Demidovs, Gubners and many other of their brethren allocated 128 thousand rubles for the future school. Textile associations and manufactories also provided the best samples of their fabrics, which the students used as methodological and educational material.

In 1918, the spinning and weaving school was merged with the vocational school, created at one time by the merchants Soldatenkovs, and the new educational institution was called a technical school. The following year, the technical school was renamed the Moscow Practical Textile Institute, which was later called the Academy.

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 ... >>

Greenland ice is melting fast 28.07.2017

Scientists are concerned about the rapid melting of ice in Greenland. The reason for this is not only global warming, but also the accumulation of algae, which began to rise to the surface.

The white area of the glaciers reflects light, thus eliminating the melting of ice, but due to the appearance of algae on the surface, the reflective effect may not be fully effective, experts say.

The more vegetation there is on the surface, the faster the ice will melt. Before the advent of underwater plants, the sea level rose by 1 mm per year due to global warming. Scientists suggest that the rate of ice disappearance may increase, which cannot but excite the entire scientific world.

The problem of the rapid melting of ice in Greenland has been dealt with for a long time. Various hypotheses have been put forward related to the cause of the destruction of centuries-old ice, including: the actions of underwater volcanoes, greenhouse gas emissions, and even the intervention of an alien force.
