How many people work in the largest supermarket?

The largest supermarket is located in New York on Broadway. It employs at least 12000 employees. "R. N. Masu & Co" covers 200000 m² retail space, where 400 items of goods are sold.

The annual turnover is close to a billion dollars. Its founder, R. N. Masu, made $1858 on his first day of trading in 11.

What is a calorie?

Today, it seems, almost everyone is "monitoring their calories." There are even restaurants that print the number of calories in each dish right on the menu. To understand what a calorie is and what role it plays in the body, let's start with a food item in general.

Today, science still cannot explain exactly how the cell converts food into energy. We just know that it is. And we also cannot explain why this cell of the body needs certain and not some other products for its normal functioning.

We know that when food enters the body, it combines with oxygen. We can say that it "burns" like fuel. The work that fuel does is what we measure today in terms of calories.

A gram-calorie, or small calorie, is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. A large calorie is equal to 1000 small ones. When measuring the energy value of food, we usually use a large calorie.

Each type of food, "burning down", supplies a certain amount of calories. For example, one gram of protein provides four calories, one gram of fat - nine. The body doesn't care what fuel is used to produce energy, as long as that energy is sufficient to sustain life.

The number of calories a person needs depends on the work he does. For example, a person weighing approximately 68 kilograms needs only 1680 calories per day if he is in a state of absolute rest. If he does moderate work, such as office work, that figure jumps to 3360 calories a day. And if a person is engaged in hard work, it will take 6720 calories per day for the body to function normally.

Children need more calories than adults because older people cannot burn fuel as quickly. Surprisingly, we burn more calories in winter than in summer. The usual fuel for humans is carbohydrates, starch and sugar. And what, you ask, if we absorb more fuel than we need? The body will use up as much as it needs and set aside some for future use. He can put off about one-third of his daily allowance. The rest turns into fat! That's why we diet.

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 ... >>

Capturing methane from the air with zeolites 14.01.2022

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found that zeolites - porous mineral structures often used as commercial adsorbents - are able to absorb and recycle methane (CH4) from the air. This effect is manifested when they are processed with copper. The scientists' work is published in ACS Environment Au.

In a lab experiment, experts placed zeolite particles in a reaction tube and passed air containing varying concentrations of methane through it. Gas levels ranged from 2 ppm to 2%. And the reaction tube was heated to various temperatures.

When heated to 310 degrees Celsius, the zeolite was able to capture and convert 2% of the methane into carbon dioxide (CO100). The process is possible even at low CH4 concentrations and much lower temperatures than are required for other methane capture methods.

At first glance, turning one greenhouse gas into another is not ideal. But the researchers calculated that converting half of atmospheric methane would add only about 0,2% to atmospheric CO2 and result in a 16% reduction in radiative warming. Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. It is emitted in large quantities as a result of agricultural activities, coal mining, permafrost thawing, as well as during the processing and transportation of natural gas. Compared to carbon dioxide, methane heats the Earth 81 times more. Therefore, its removal will reduce the short-term negative impact on the climate.

However, the MIT team will have to figure out how to scale up their methane removal method to make air flow more efficiently through the material. Potentially, the first field experiments can be carried out in coal mines and barns, using existing air circulation systems. In addition, clay containing zeolites is so cheap that it is used to make cat litter.
