Why do tombstones exist?

Thousands of years ago, ancient man started the tradition of using a pointed stone to mark a grave. The ancient people did this, obviously, in order to prevent evil spirits from leaving dead bodies where they were meant to be. Tombstones were also used to warn people about places where evil spirits lived.

Of course, over the centuries, the purpose of tombstones has changed. The Greeks decorated their tombstones with sculpture. The Jews marked their graves with stone pillars. The Egyptians built tombs and pyramids to mark the burial places of the dead.

When Christianity appeared, the designation of graves became generally accepted. Christians have chosen a cross and a circle as a symbol. The latter, for earlier generations, symbolized the sun. It was later replaced by a simple cross which is still in use today.

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 ... >>

dog for diabetic 03.06.2003

Canadian scientists have decided to use the dog's phenomenal sense of smell to diagnose diabetes.

They taught the English Cocker Paco to detect hypoglycemia by the smell of his breath - a dangerous drop in blood sugar in the owner of an intelligent dog. In such cases, Paco raises the alarm, and if the hostess is asleep or has already lost consciousness, the Cocker presses the ambulance call button.

Two more dogs are currently undergoing similar training.
