What explains the prevalence of blondes among the population of the Solomon Islands?

Approximately 10% of the black inhabitants of the Solomon Islands, which are located northeast of Australia, are blond. Previously, there were several hypotheses regarding the cause of this phenomenon, including the interbreeding of aborigines with European navigators. However, genetic analysis of the islanders showed that their blond hair is due only to a special form of the TRP1 gene. This mutation arose in the population many millennia ago and is in no way connected with the prevalence of blondes among Europeans, which is explained by the influence of other genes.

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 ... >>

Mega BEAST Electric School Bus 07.11.2023

GreenPower Motor Company has introduced the new Mega BEAST electric school bus to the US market, featuring the largest battery pack and record-breaking range. The model is designed for use in rural school districts where long distances require long travel times, as well as for efficient use on busy routes.

Mega BEAST is an improved version of the Type D electric school bus, known as BEAST (battery electric automotive school transportation). The initial model, introduced in 2019, is being successfully piloted in various school districts.

The new product, also classified as Type D, features a larger LFP battery (with a capacity of 387 kWh), which increases the range to an impressive 483 km, more than doubling compared to the previous model. LFP batteries, with added safety features and high energy density, also offer a long service life despite a higher initial cost.

The company emphasizes that the Mega BEAST offers "the longest range and largest battery in a school bus." This is especially important for rural school districts that require significant distances between remote communities. The bus is also suitable for long-distance school trips and extra-curricular activities, and the high energy reserve is useful on busy routes where there is no opportunity for quick recharging during the day.

The Mega BEAST electric school bus is scheduled to be produced at GreenPower's California and South Charleston, West Virginia plants beginning in 2024.
