Where did the Eskimos come from?

Eskimos are a type of North American Indians. They are similar to the Mongols, but no more than some other natives of North and South America. The Eskimos, like the Indians, came from Asia.

There is an opinion that the first Eskimos came to North America through the Bering Strait and Alaska 2000-3000 years ago. Then some of them moved along the eastern and southern coasts of Alaska and reached the place where modern Anchorage is located. Others settled in the Aleutian Islands, but most moved west along the northern coasts of Alaska and Canada.

The first known meeting between Eskimos and Europeans took place around 1000 AD, when Scandinavian travelers saw Eskimos in Labrador or Newfoundland. Later in Greenland, the Eskimos met with the Norwegians. During the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, a large number of intermarriages between Europeans and Eskimos took place in Greenland. Today there many Eskimos look like Europeans.

It is important to understand that the Eskimos are different from each other in the same way as most Europeans. Some of them look like blond Scandinavians or Germans, others look like dark-haired Italians. Probably the reason the Eskimos live in the North is that they are hunters, and their country is one of the best in North America for hunting.

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 ... >>

Semiconductor RSL10 single-chip system 25.02.2017

ON Semiconductor announced the release of the RSL10 single-chip system that supports Bluetooth LE 5. According to the manufacturer, the RSL10 has the lowest power consumption among all similar products. Applications for SoC ON Semiconductor RSL10 include wearable electronics and IoT devices, including physical activity monitors, smartwatches, and home appliances.

The manufacturer considers the possibility of power supply from voltage sources of 1,2 and 1,5 V to the advantages of the new SoC. The voltage required for operation in the range of 1,1-1,3 V is generated by built-in circuits, without requiring an external converter.

At the heart of the RSL10 is a dual-core ARM Cortex-M3 processor available for custom applications. It operates at frequencies up to 48 MHz. In addition, the SoC configuration includes a 32-bit DSP, the performance of which is sufficient, for example, to implement audio codecs.

The manufacturer offers a complete development platform, including a development board, software tools, documentation kit, and libraries of Bluetooth protocols and profiles. Samples of the RSL10 are currently available in the WLCSP version (area 5,5 mm2, 51 pins). Samples in 6x6mm 48-pin QFN packages should be available by the end of April.
