Why do people stutter?

The most complex and demanding musical instrument imaginable is probably the human vocal apparatus. It includes the abdomen, chest, larynx, mouth, nose, tongue, palate, lips, teeth. The most important when reproducing sounds are the muscles of the mouth, palate, lips, and tongue. The only reason why we can play this musical instrument so well is because we learned it in early childhood. If we cannot play this musical instrument perfectly, then our speech becomes incorrect and defects appear in it. One of these defects is stuttering.

Stuttering is the result of a spasm in one or more of the organs involved in speech production. The flow of words is suddenly interrupted. There is a pause. Sometimes this happens as a result of quickly repeating the sound in a row, on which we originally stopped. There are many degrees of stuttering. This can be either a slight inability to pronounce the final letters or syllables, or a situation where the spasm completely fetters the muscles of the tongue and larynx.

Stuttering rarely appears before 4-5 years of age. A child may begin to stutter if something has happened to one of his sound-producing organs. Very often, the cause of stuttering is emotional excitement. A stuttering person is usually most troubled by explosive consonants: "b", "p", "d", "t", "k", solid "g". These consonants are formed as a result of stopping the movement of air and pressure on the lips, followed by a sudden explosion of the air flow and its exit through the open lips.

Try it yourself: say the sound "b". Really explosive. Stuttering is often corrected if a person follows the rules of reading and slowly, carefully pronounces each syllable. Of course, if stuttering is based on an emotional disturbance, then a doctor's advice and a special course of treatment are needed.

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 ... >>

Supersteel modeled after human bone 14.03.2017

An international team of scientists from the University of Kyushu (Japan), the Max Planck Institute (Germany) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed supersteel. They took a human bone as a sample - it is light, strong and resistant to cracking due to its hierarchically organized structure. As a result, the new material does not experience a phenomenon known as metal fatigue for longer. The developers presented their results in an article in the journal Science.

Human bones have a complex structure - at the nanoscale, tiny collagen fibers are organized roughly like a laminate, i.e. with different layers of fibers oriented in different directions. At the micro level, the bone has a lattice structure and specially arranged voids, due to which the bone becomes light and strong at the same time.

The new supersteel has a similar structure at the nanoscale. In addition to the layers, which help to limit the propagation of already existing cracks to the layer in which they originated, various alloys with different strengths are used in the material. Thanks to this device, the resulting cracks spread each in their own way, which helps prevent its growth. In addition, because some areas are more flexible than others, the energy of repeated loads is absorbed and can sometimes close the resulting microcrack.

Because of all this, the new steel is much more resistant to metal fatigue, which will allow it to be used to create many structures - for example, bridges and spacecraft - less prone to unexpected destruction.
