Do birds have ears?

Since birds are flying animals, almost everything in them is designed for this complex activity: all internal and external organs, including the nervous system and sensory organs. For example, keen eyesight is a vital necessity for flying animals. This is one of the most important features of birds. In proportion to the size of the animal, bird eyes are much larger than those of other vertebrates.

Some birds are able to see different images with each eye. Other birds can make out very small objects and fine details from afar. It is very important for birds to have good hearing, and they have it. Birds have ears. The organs of hearing, orientation in space and the ability to balance while moving are all connected with the ear.

Despite the fact that the beak of many birds is hard, ossified, many birds have a good taste. Nou birds have almost no sense of smell. Flight requires a lot of energy. Therefore, the metabolism in birds is very fast. The body temperature of the birds is very high: between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius. Rapid pulse and high breathing rate. For example, the sparrow's heart beats over 500 times per minute.

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 ... >>

Dancing helps in the study of the exact sciences 23.10.2017

Researchers from the University of North Carolina conducted a unique study among students, which showed that dancing helps in the study of the exact sciences.

It is reported that dance classes are able to complement the skills that students receive from the exact sciences, develop creativity and improve interdisciplinary thinking.

All students were divided into two groups, all volunteers were girls. The dance program at the State University of New York includes different styles and directions, where any student can enroll.

In the first group, seven girls were engaged in the exact sciences and five were students of the humanities. The second group included eight female students of exact specialties. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 22 and all went to dance classes every week.

According to the students themselves, dancing and any other kind of art is an important mechanism for maintaining diversity. As the study showed, dancing classes develop thinking, have a good effect on the functioning of the brain, which makes it easier to cope with the study of the exact sciences.
