Which countries were originally called the third world?

Today, the third world countries are mainly called poor developing states. However, initially the term "Third World" was coined to refer to countries that did not participate in the arms race of the Cold War, that is, they did not belong either to the so-called "First World" (capitalist countries and the NATO bloc), or to the "Second World" (the socialist bloc ). By the end of the Cold War, the "Third World" was dominated by states with low GDP, and the emphasis on the use of the term shifted to this circumstance, although subsequently many Third World countries overtook the "Second World" in their development.

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 ... >>

ERхххххH - FANSO lithium batteries 11.06.2021

FANSO has upgraded its production facilities and installed a new automated line for the production of cylindrical lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) batteries with a bobbin design. At the moment, all supplied batteries of this type ERxxxxxH are manufactured on a new line.

Due to the minimal human involvement in the technological process, new products are characterized by increased stability and repeatability of parameters both in the delivery batch itself and from batch to batch. This type of battery has the highest specific energy density and is characterized by the highest capacity among existing lithium batteries.

The ERxxxxxH battery type is designed for long-term operation of devices that consume low current (10-15 years with appropriate power consumption, taking into account the necessary factors). Due to the extremely low self-discharge, the batteries of this electro-chemical system have a long shelf life (up to 10 years). By the way, a similar fully automated line was already launched over a year ago for the production of the very popular CR123A/SN manganese dioxide battery.

Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are widely used in fire alarm sensors, resource metering devices, remote control and telemetry devices, and other similar applications. However, it should be taken into account that batteries of the lithium-thionyl chloride system of any manufacturer have a passivation effect.
