What is the difference between a donkey and a donkey?

What is the difference between a donkey and a donkey? Absolutely nothing. The fact is that both of these names refer to the same animal, more precisely to the male donkey (the female is called a donkey). The donkey is one of the first domesticated animals. The Egyptians domesticated donkeys over 5000 years ago.

Due to their exceptional usefulness, these animals are bred all over the world. There are many varieties of donkeys. For example, in Somalia and other parts of Africa, there are wild Somali donkeys, cautious animals that live in groups of 5 to 20 individuals, feeding on dry grass and shrubs in the desert. Most of the local tribes hunt Somali donkeys for their skin and meat or catch them for sale, so today this animal is quite rare.

Several species of wild donkeys live in Asia. One of them, the Syrian donkey, which once lived in Syria and other areas of the Middle East, is now, in all likelihood, already extinct.

The donkey is adapted to life in the desert and can do without water for some time. At the time of the birth of offspring, donkeys gather in large herds, but soon break up into small groups and disperse throughout the country. Modern donkeys are descendants of the Nubian donkeys from northeast Africa, which were once found throughout the territory from the Nile to the Red Sea. But most species of wild donkeys have already been exterminated, and now people are trying to protect a few surviving species from a similar fate. In many parts of Mexico and Central America, the donkey is a common means of transportation, replacing the horse or car.

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 ... >>

Sensor for diagnosing diseases by sweat 06.03.2017

Scientists from the University of California have developed a sensor that diagnoses diseases by the composition of human sweat, evaluating changes in metabolites, heavy metals and electrolytes. The device is a combination of a combined electrical circuit and innovative sensor technology.

The finished system, printed on plastic, was mounted by the developers into headbands and wristbands. Sensors work in real time and do not interfere with human life at all. At the moment, the device is able to track about 6 chemical markers and temperature changes.

The researchers tested the system on cyclists, proving its high efficiency. A modified device in the future will help patients with diabetes track their sugar levels.
