How much of the total mortality in the world are victims of war?

War casualties now account for less than one percent of the world's total deaths. War as a cause of death is far ahead of car accidents, suicides and fires.

Why do hailstones have different sizes?

In some places where thunderstorms occur quite often, one thunderstorm in eight hundred is accompanied by hail the size of a walnut, and one thunderstorm in five thousand carries hail the size of a tennis ball. And you probably know from your own experience that hailstones can have other sizes. Hail usually falls in warm weather and is usually accompanied by thunder, lightning and rain.

Hail is formed when raindrops pass through a layer of cold air on their way to the ground and freeze. Individual raindrops form very small hailstones. Larger hailstones appear the same way, but when small hailstones fall and encounter strong updrafts along the way, they can rise to the point where raindrops form. More drops stick to the hailstone, and when it again flies through the cold layers, the water envelops it and freezes, thus increasing the size of the hailstone.

The hailstone can rise and fall repeatedly until it builds up a number of layers that increase its weight so much that it is able to overcome the force of the rising air currents and falls to the ground. Thus, hailstones with a diameter of 8-10 centimeters and a weight of up to 0,5 kg appear. Snow also freezes around hailstones when they are brought into areas where it forms. Therefore, hail often consists of layers of snow and ice.

The hail causes great damage every year. It destroys crops such as rye, wheat, cotton and tobacco. It can knock leaves off trees, shatter glass in windows, and even injure poultry and animals!

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 ... >>
