How did the hot dog get its name?

This happened after the publication in 1906 of a cartoon in a New York newspaper. Artist Ted Dorgan painted a dog (and "hot dog" means "hot dog") between two halves of a cut bun. Under the cartoon was the inscription: hot dog. Previously, hot sausages were called Frankfurt all over the world.

What does the abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) mean?

The time in each time zone is indicated relative to UTC - for example, UTC+4:00. However, this abbreviation itself does not have any official decoding. The International Telecommunication Union adopted this standard in 1970 and considered the options CUT (English Coordinated Universal Time) and TUC (French Temps Universel Coordonne). Not recognizing any of them as suitable, they decided to stop at the neutral version of UTC.

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 ... >>

Greening cities will protect against global warming 08.10.2022

Scientists from Yale University have figured out how to reduce the negative effects of global warming.

The more green spaces and street trees and rain gardens in cities, the more they manage to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis and global warming. Scientists from China and the United States came to this conclusion after analyzing satellite data from 2000 cities. They also found significant differences in temperature between cities and rural areas nearby, which was associated with heating systems. The analysis period was from 2002 to 2021.

The study found that cities warmed by an average of 0,56°C per decade during the day and 0,43°C at night. By comparison, rural areas warm on average 0,4°C per decade during the day and 0,37°C per decade at night. This means that urban areas are warming 29% faster than rural areas.

In order to level this difference, cities need to be greener more actively. Tree planting, which replaces exposed concrete and asphalt surfaces with natural vegetation, reduces the rate of warming in cities, which creates a cooling effect, especially at night, by capturing some of the heat from the surrounding surface.
