Where is the world's largest coral reef located?

This is the Great Barrier Reef along the northeast coast of Australia. Its length is a good 2000 km, it covers an area of about 350 km². This is a habitat for more than 3000 species of living creatures. Since the 80s it has been declared a protected area. Industry and tourism in the area are strictly controlled.

When did regular rail service begin?

The first steam locomotive appeared in 1803, the first commercial railway in 1812, and the first permanent public railway in 1825. However, the first flights were not made regularly, but as needed, as people were afraid of the cast-iron puffing hulks. The first regular railway line, which used steam traction, appeared in 1830. All this took place in England.

In Russia, the first steam-powered locomotive (a locomotive is a self-propelled rail vehicle that can pull cars behind it), in other words, a steam locomotive, was designed by father and son Cherepanovs in 1834. It was a platform on four wheels with a boiler, two steam engine cylinders and a tender - a special water tank.

The first railway (from St. Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo) was opened in 1837.

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 popularity of LCD TVs is growing 30.07.2004

Authoritative Taiwanese sources report the rapid growth in popularity of LCD TVs.

If in the first quarter of this year the global demand for this type of high-tech products amounted to about two million pieces, then in the second quarter these figures will be exceeded. As for the second half of the year, analysts estimate the demand for LCD TVs at 5-6 million units.

The most optimistic sources believe that in 2004 global demand will be 14-15 million units, but more cautious observers say that manufacturers simply cannot afford to ship such a number of TVs, so the real boom should happen next year.

In addition, analysts believe that by 2006 19-inch LCD monitors will become the most popular among those sold on the market.
