What are moles?

The name mole or birthmarks refers to those marks on the body that appear from birth. Medicine does not yet know the causes of their occurrence, and ways to prevent their occurrence have not yet been developed. But one thing is certain: they have nothing to do with any fears experienced by the mother of the child before his birth.

Almost everyone has at least one mole somewhere on the body. They can appear anywhere, including on the scalp. Moles can vary greatly in appearance, depending on which layer of the skin they appear in. Most birthmarks appear before birth or immediately after, but in some cases they do not appear until fourteen or fifteen years of age. If they are not touched, then moles cannot bring any harm to the body.

The biggest danger associated with them is that if they are damaged, they can transform into a malignant tumor. But this happens very rarely, and most people who have moles have nothing to worry about.

There are a number of other skin abnormalities that can be mistaken for moles. One of them is reddish or purple formations that appear on the skin at birth or shortly after birth. Sometimes they have a strawberry or raspberry hue. This is actually an unusual condition of the blood vessels, and usually these formations disappear after treatment. But many doctors believe they should be removed as soon as possible to avoid scarring.

Doctors even consider freckles to be a "lack of skin." Freckles appear due to exposure to ultraviolet rays of sunlight. Most often, freckles appear in fair-haired people with white skin.

What are woodwind instruments made of?

Wind instruments are divided into two groups: wood and brass. But all wind instruments are so different that grouping them into families is not an easy task. And the term "woodwind" is not entirely justified, although it is generally accepted. At present, the woodwind flute is made mainly of metal, and the clarinet is made of ebonite artificial material.

For wind instruments, sound is produced by vibrations of a column of air contained within the body. The larger the instrument, the slower these oscillations and the lower the sound. In terms of sound range, we can say that the flute and oboe roughly correspond to violins, and the clarinet and bassoon to the viola and cello.

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 ... >>

Fuel from waste 15.06.2019

A research team led by scientists from the University of Washington has found a way to turn everyday plastic waste into jet fuel.

Hanwu Lei and colleagues at the University of Washington melted plastic waste at high temperature with activated carbon, treated carbon with increased surface area, to produce jet fuel.

"Plastic waste is a huge problem worldwide," said Lei, assistant professor of biological systems engineering at the University of Washington. "It's a very good and relatively easy way to recycle these plastics."

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 26 million tons of plastic entered US landfills in 2015, the most recent statistics available. China recently stopped accepting recycled plastic from the US and Canada. According to the most conservative estimates of scientists, at least 4,8 million tons of plastic enter the world's oceans every year.

"We can recover almost 100% of the energy from the plastic we tested," Lei said. "The fuel is very high quality, and the by-product gases produced are also high quality and useful."
