Why do cows chew their cud?

Many thousands of years ago, there were animals that could not protect themselves from strong and bloodthirsty enemies. They couldn't run too fast, they didn't have sharp fangs or claws. And in the process of survival, they have a special way of eating. They had to quickly grab something from the food and at the first opportunity, hastily swallowed without chewing, immediately run away. Then, already in a safe place, being in a calm state, you can chew food at your pleasure!

Our ruminants have gradually become so in the process of evolution, and therefore are called so. Note that almost all mammals useful to humans are ruminants. These are cows, sheep, goats, camels, deer, llamas, antelopes.

What allows ruminants, such as cows, to chew their cud? Such animals have a special digestive system, consisting of 5 parts. The first is a scar, then a mesh, a book, an abomasum and an intestine.

Each of these departments performs certain functions during digestion. First, food enters the largest part - the rumen, where fermentation processes take place under the influence of microflora. Then the food is in the grid, where it is formed into small balls, convenient for chewing.

They fall back into the mouth, where the animal chews them, usually resting somewhere. Finally, these balls are swallowed again and fall into the book. From here they go to the abomasum, where the assimilation process takes place. Camels, unlike other ruminants, do not have this division.

Cows do not have upper teeth. But the gum looks like a solid pad. When a cow grazes, she plucks the grass with a lateral movement of her head with the help of her lower teeth.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

New Mobile Intel Processors 23.01.2012

The list of Intel processors includes the Core i5-2450M and Core i3-2370M models, which were "lit up" in the documentation for Dell laptops and on the Intel website back in November last year.

These processors are dual-core, with support for Hyper-Threading. The clock frequency of the i3-2370M is 2,4 GHz. The Core i5-2450M is clocked at 2,5GHz, but it can go up to 3,1GHz. Processors equipped with 3MB L35 cache have a TDP of 225W and cost $XNUMX each. The remaining six models do not support Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost.

The single-core B720 and dual-core B815 also have a TDP of 35W and 2MB cache. Clock speeds are 1,7 and 1,6 GHz, prices are $70 and $86.

Models Mobile Celeron 797 and 867 belong to the category of processors with low power consumption - their TDP does not exceed 17 watts. The single-core Mobile Celeron 797 runs at 1,4 GHz and has 1,5 MB of cache. The dual-core model Mobile Celeron 867 is designed for a frequency of 1,3 GHz and has 2 MB of cache. These processors cost $107 and $134 respectively.

The list is completed by Pentium 977 (two cores, 1,4 GHz, 2 MB cache, TDP 17 W) and Pentium B970 (two cores, 2,3 GHz, 2 MB cache, TDP 35 W). The second model is priced at $125. There is no data on the price of the first.
