Can dogs see colors?

A dog in the family is always everyone's favorite, a true friend who is always with you at home and on a walk, and therefore it is very difficult to imagine that a dog sees the world in a completely different way than you: dogs do not distinguish colors. Experiment after experiment was carried out in order to find out whether it was possible in any way to make the dog distinguish colors. Usually food was used in the experiment. A certain color meant a signal to eat, the rest did not. But the dog was never able to distinguish one color from another. To distinguish things, dogs rely on their unique sense of smell.

Well, what about cats? Similar experiments were also carried out with them, and just like dogs, cats were unable to distinguish colors. It turned out that the cat perceives everything in gray. So is there an animal in the world that can distinguish colors?

As experiments have shown, the only creature other than humans capable of distinguishing colors is a monkey, which could be taught to open a door of a certain color, behind which food was hidden. In fact, the color "blindness" of animals is quite understandable.

Most wild animals hunt in the evenings and at night when all colors are washed out. In addition, the skins of many animals have a monotonous color. Therefore, the ability to distinguish colors for animals is not so vital. Most animals have developed their other senses to such an extent that they can get along quite well in their own world.

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 ... >>

Smart parking based on LTE networks 09.12.2015

LG Uplus, the third largest South Korean mobile operator, announced the creation of a parking zone monitoring system based on LTE technology.

The service developed by LG Uplus involves the use of special sensors installed in parking lots and connected to an isolated narrow-band LTE network, which in turn connects to public mobile networks. The data recorded by these sensors helps car owners to remotely find a free space or their car in a parking lot using smartphones or other devices that support cellular communication.

LG Uplus says narrow-band LTE networks have low latency and support the connection of a large number of low-cost industrial IoT devices. First, developers are going to test this technology on a smart parking system, which will soon be deployed in the Seoul laboratory of LG Uplus, which is developing fifth generation networks (5G). Then the novelty is planned to be introduced into electricity consumption metering units, various security systems, etc.

According to analysts, the size of the paid parking market in Seoul is 1,5 trillion won ($1,3 billion), and across South Korea - 3-4 trillion. won ($2,6-3,5 billion).
