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 ... >>

long fingers of depression 10.01.2000

Men with unusually long ring fingers are more likely to suffer from depression than others. This was shown by a survey conducted by scientists from the University of Liverpool (England). They measured the finger length and height of 102 men, after which they underwent psychological tests for a tendency to depression.

It turned out that those who have a higher ratio of finger length, especially the ring finger, to height, are more likely to become depressed than others. In other words, if a man's fingers are unusually long for his height (and usually, the taller the man, the longer his fingers), then he is prone to depression.

In order not to mess around with measurements, you can use a rough guideline: in those prone to depression, the ring finger is noticeably longer than the average. Scientists suggest that the relationship between the length of the fingers and emotional disturbances is laid down in the embryo during development and is formed as a result of the action of the male sex hormone testosterone.

The hormone affects the growth of long bones as well as the development of the brain. When there is too much testosterone, the fingers lengthen and the right hemisphere of the brain increases at the expense of the left. People with a predominance of the right hemisphere are characterized by musical and mathematical abilities, but they are more likely to suffer from depression and schizophrenia.
