Which owl cries woo-hee, woo-hoo?

William Shakespeare was the first to use the phrase "woo-hee, woo-hoo" in the poem "Winter" that concludes the play Love's Labour's Lost (1595):

With her eyes fixed, the owl cries:
Woo-hoo! Woo-hee, woo-hoo! - sings, sounds;
Fat Jenny's soup is boiling.

(Translated by M. A. Kuzmin.)

Not a single owl in the world has ever screamed "woo-hee, hoo-hoo."

Barn owls squeal piercingly. Swamps are extremely silent. And the eared ones give out a long and low "uu-uu-uu".

The sound most reminiscent of Shakespeare's "u-hee, u-hu" is produced by ordinary scouts. And two.

The male - also known as the "brown owl" - calls with a hooting "hoo-hoo-hoo", while the female responds with a hoarse "ki-wik".

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How does a person live who has no pulse at all?

A person can function normally if the blood through the vessels does not go in jerks, but in a continuous stream. This was proved by the doctors of the American Craig Lewis, who was dying of a heart disease - even an electronic pacemaker could not save his life. As a result, the patient's heart was removed, but connected to a different type of device that helps blood continuously circulate through his body. Lewis lived for five weeks, literally without a pulse, and his ECG had a straight line the whole time. The cause of his death was liver failure due to amyloidosis, which was not related to the implanted apparatus.

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 ... >>

Drowsiness is the cause of aggression 24.02.2017

A team of American and British scientists found that the aggressiveness of adolescents is directly dependent on the quality and quantity of their sleep.

Experts cited disappointing figures: over the past 15 years, the number of offenses committed by schoolchildren has increased by 4 times.

In order to explain this phenomenon, experts conducted a study in which they found a tendency to hostile behavior in a group of 115 American schoolchildren. Participants in the experiment were asked on a scale of 7 points to determine the level of their fatigue and sleepiness at the same time every day - one hour after lunch.

After analyzing the data obtained, the experts found that there is a direct link between lack of sleep and an increase in the number of offenses committed by adolescents. According to their data, 17% of schoolchildren who report being drowsy after lunch later began to commit crimes.
