What are the causes of baldness?

There are many different causes of baldness. But in most cases, a person cannot control this process. There is no simple cure for baldness. People name various causes of baldness: aging, unusually high intellectual development, or, conversely, stupidity. But the real cause of baldness is that a person loses their hair!

Structural alopecia is the most common. Hair begins to fall out at the temples or at the crown. Baldness can also appear in other places. This is the most difficult type of hair loss. Nothing can be done about it, as it is a hereditary trait. The inheritance of structural baldness varies by gender. Baldness is more common in men than in women. Very often, women carry the gene that controls baldness and pass this trait on to their children. When this type of baldness shows up, the best thing for a person to do is get used to it!

In men, premature baldness can appear by the age of 25 or even earlier. One of the reasons for such baldness may be the lack of proper care of the scalp, keeping it clean, etc. An imbalance of sex hormones can lead to premature baldness. Taking care of your scalp right away can slow down this kind of hair loss.

Baldness is sometimes a symptom of an illness or other condition. Once health is restored, hair can grow back. Sudden hair loss can occur as a result of typhoid fever, scarlet fever, influenza, or other serious illnesses.

Permanent hair loss or thinning may also be due to malnutrition or dysfunction of the glands, especially the pituitary and thyroid glands. And, of course, baldness can occur due to disorders of the scalp itself, its damage or disease.

What mammals can see in ultraviolet light?

Reindeer in winter are able to capture the near ultraviolet (wavelength from 300 to 400 nm). Snow reflects such radiation, and many important objects for deer, such as wolf fur, urine trail or reindeer moss, absorb. For human vision, a light-colored wolf will be faintly distinguishable against the background of snow, but the deer's eye will perceive it as a highly contrasting spot.

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 ... >>

Interactive TV Hybridcast 03.06.2012

The Japanese broadcaster NHK has introduced the Hybridcast interactive television platform, the main idea of the project is to combine the capabilities of traditional television and the Internet. This opens up opportunities for the creation of numerous services, the potential of which is almost unlimited.

The largest Japanese electronics manufacturers, including Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp and Mitsubishi Electric, took part in the work on the Hybridcast project. The presentation used modified versions of televisions and set-top boxes that are already on sale, and NHK took over the development of the software platform. The Hybridcast platform runs HTML5 web applications that are controlled by a tablet computer.

When viewing a travel program, the user can open a map that shows the location of the heroes of the program. The platform also allows the viewer to answer live quiz questions as they are broadcast, and while watching sports, the players' names and basic information about the players on the field can be displayed on the TV screen. At the same time, the data is shown directly on the TV screen and accompanies the players, as in an augmented reality application.

The authors of the project emphasize that the main advantage of the Hybridcast platform is that not only TV channels, but also other companies, such as mobile operators or software companies, can develop applications. This significantly expands the capabilities of the system, not allowing the service to depend on any one brand.
