Why don't samurai serve in the Japanese police?

When in 1871 the authorities of Tokyo decided to organize a police force in the capital, they hired retired military men for this. Most of them were samurai, that is, they were part of the highest caste of the then Japanese society, which caused an unexpected problem. Ordinary citizens, asking for directions from a policeman, knelt down and touched the ground with their hands as a sign of respect.

Three years passed before the authorities realized the absurdity of the situation. The samurai were honorably retired, and simpler people were hired for police positions.

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 ... >>

Bird flight record 19.10.2020

Scientists from the Global Flyway Network, an international association that tracks long-range flights of birds, said the blue-tailed godwit has set a new world record for the longest continuous flight, flying over 12 kilometers in 000 days.

According to the scientist, the godwit left Alaska on September 16 and arrived in a bay near the New Zealand city of Auckland on September 27. The bird was caught at the end of 2019; a 5-gram receiver was then hung on its paw, which transmitted data on the location of the bird to the satellite.

As satellite data showed, the godwit covered only 12 kilometers, flying at speeds up to 854 kilometers per hour. According to Conklin, in reality the bird flew about 88,5 km (the difference is due to inaccurate measurements), but this is still a new record.

Scientists recorded the previous record for the longest continuous flight in 2007: then the bird flew 11680 km.
