How fast does our blood flow through our vessels?

The human heart, like a pump, pumps blood through the vessels all its life at an average speed of 2 km / h. For example: the path of blood from one arm to another lasts about 13 seconds, from the shoulder to the brain - about 17, and from the knee to the foot - less than 2 seconds.

Which writer died of pseudonym cancer?

In the 1970s, American publishers found it undesirable for authors to publish more than one book a year. Stephen King, who wanted to publish more, began to write some works under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. In 1984, a bookstore clerk suspected a similarity in the authors' literary styles and discovered a record in the Library of Congress that King was the author of one of Bachman's novels, notifying King's publishers of his find. The writer himself called this seller and offered to write a revealing article, agreeing to an interview. It resulted in a press release announcing the death of Richard Bachman from "pseudonym cancer".

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 ... >>

Video games on the real world map 12.02.2014

By 2015, Google plans to transfer to video game developers all the tools necessary to use maps in computer games. Google Vice President and founder of the Google Earth project John Hanke (John Hanke) announced the intention of Google within a year to provide game developers with access to real map data.

The corresponding statement was made at the DICE Summit conference of leading video game manufacturers and was part of the story about the multiplayer online game Ingress, created by Niantic Labs. John Hanke confirmed that Google will start working with a select group of developers this year. The goal of this work is to create by 2015, based on the experience of using real geographic data in Ingress, a package of software tools for developing games with real geographic environment.

Google's initiative will bring games to reality. Ingress allows you to collect fictional "exotic energy" in the real world using Android smartphones. Virtual battles between two opposing sides take place in the real world, but with a fictional plot and non-existent artifacts. Such video games will become more widespread and attract millions of users as augmented reality technologies develop, for example, such as video glasses that project an image directly over the human field of view.

Currently, global sales of games for computers, consoles and mobile platforms have reached tens of billions of dollars a year, and this market is constantly expanding. The advancement of modern geographic information services, such as Google Earth, into the gaming industry opens up new opportunities for game developers to improve gameplay and attract new players. In addition, online games that develop in a real environment can be used for a variety of studies: from marketing to, for example, studying the efficiency of transport infrastructure.
