Where does water boil faster?

The Celsius scale is based on 2 points: 0° is the freezing point of water, 100° is the boiling point. However, all this is true for conditions at sea level, at a standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg. Art. The lower this pressure, the lower the boiling point of water. In the high-mountain capitals of Lhasa (Tibet) and La Paz (Bolivia), at an altitude of 4000 m above sea level, water boils already at a temperature of 87 ° C, and on the shores of the Dead Sea (343 m below sea level) - at 101 ° C.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who are the Aztecs?

The Aztecs were one of the most highly developed and influential peoples who inhabited America in antiquity. They lived in the valley where the city of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is now located. By the time of the appearance of European travelers and colonialists, the history of this Indian tribe had already spanned many centuries.

The standard of living of the Aztecs during the period of prosperity reached the same height as that of many European nations. They have learned to imprint their history in stone. They built temples, towers, houses from well-worked rocks. They reached significant heights in the field of legislation and government, had considerable knowledge of astronomy and developed various types of arts and crafts. They were kind and generous people in their own way. They loved nature, especially birds and flowers, and were great fans of music, dance, various games and literature.

The Aztecs managed to rise above other tribes due to their military victories. Often they waged wars with the aim of capturing enemies and sacrificing them to the gods. This custom of human sacrifice shocked the newcomers from Europe, who had such rituals in the distant past.

Another name for the Aztec tribe was Mexico. From this word, or from the name of one of their gods, the name of Mexico came about. In 1325, 167 years before Columbus first met the Indians, the Aztecs, according to their legends, began the construction of the capital of their state - the city of Tenochtitlan. Later, it became the center of the Spanish colonies in the north of Latin America, and then the capital of the Mexican Republic - Mexico City.

No one knows where the Aztecs came from. Legends and traditions indicate that they came from the north. They may have reached the Valley of Mexico in the XNUMXth or XNUMXth century. In those days they called themselves the Tenokkami. The Toltec tribe, who then lived in the valley and reached a fairly high level in their development, treated them as foreign barbarians. Therefore, it was difficult for the Aztecs to settle in a new place, but over time they achieved great power and subjugated other tribes that lived in the valley.

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 ... >>

Updated Efinix Titanium FPGA line 19.04.2021

Efinix announced the expansion of its Titanium Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) line. Now it has models containing up to 1 million logical elements. The expansion unlocks the true potential of the Titanium family, bringing high-performance, high-capacity FPGAs to the cost and power-sensitive mass market.

FPGA Titanium outperforms "traditional" FPGAs in terms of power consumption, performance and area. In particular, the gain in power consumption reaches 70%. These FPGAs bring new possibilities to the mainstream market by providing density, flexibility and performance previously reserved for expensive high-end FPGAs.

The Titanium family includes FPGAs with 35 to 1 million logic elements. They are designed for a wide range of applications - from consumer and peripheral devices to automotive electronics, communications and industrial automation.

The advantages of FPGA Titanium include the availability of high-speed serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion units, DDR, MIPI, PCIe Gen4 interfaces and others. Efinix Titanium FPGAs are available in 16nm technology.
