What is a tiebreak?

This is one of the terms of the tennis rules: if the score in the game is tied, for example 6:6, the 13th set is assigned, and the game continues until the difference in the score is 2 points (8:6, 9:7, etc.) .).

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

In which country are deceased relatives regularly removed from the crypt and changed?

In Madagascar, the practice of ritual veneration of the dead Famadikhan is widespread. Dead relatives buried in a crypt in the courtyard of the house are taken out every seven years and changed into a new silk shroud. The rite is accompanied by food and music, and the deceased is supposed to be politely spoken to and asked for blessings. Famadikhanu is practiced not only by those who profess the cult of ancestors, but also by most of the Catholics - the local church considers this ritual rather cultural and treats it neutrally.

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 ... >>

The world's largest Cherenkov telescope launched 10.08.2012

The world's largest Cherenkov telescope, HESS II, has been launched in Namibia. It is designed to study the most extreme cosmic phenomena associated with high-energy gamma-ray emissions and is the largest Cherenkov telescope ever built. Together with four smaller 12-meter telescopes already in operation since 2004, the HESS observatory will continue to study known high-energy cosmic sources, as well as search for new classes of gamma-ray sources. The new telescope weighs almost 600 tons, and its 28-meter mirror is comparable in area to two tennis courts. HESS II is designed to detect a cascade of atmospheric particles generated by cosmic gamma rays.

Gamma rays, which are emitted by natural cosmic particle accelerators, such as supermassive black holes, supernovae, pulsars, binary stars, and Big Bang artifacts, have tremendous energy. None of the existing terrestrial particle accelerators is capable of reaching such energies, but astronomers can observe this "cosmic hurricane" using Cherenkov telescopes. When gamma rays interact with the upper atmosphere, they create a whole cascade of secondary particles that can be seen with the Cherenkov effect - faint flashes of blue light. These faint flashes occur very quickly, in billionths of a second, but the high-tech HESS II camera is able to register them.

The HESS II camera, about the size of a garage door and weighing almost 3 tons, is positioned at a height of 36 m in the focal plane of the primary mirror. Despite its enormous size, the new telescope rotates twice as fast as its smaller counterparts, allowing it to quickly point at fast-moving cosmic phenomena. The new scientific tool will allow us to study the most interesting objects, such as active galactic nuclei, with unprecedented accuracy. In addition, scientists hope to find completely new space objects using HESS II.

More than 10 scientists from 170 scientific institutes and 32 different countries took part in the construction of the observatory for almost 12 years: Namibia, South Africa, Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Sweden.
