How is Easter celebrated?

By the phases of the moon. Bright Sunday of Christ in all Christian countries since 325 is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated later on the following Sunday so that it does not coincide with the Jewish holiday of Pesach.

Since the Orthodox and Catholic churches use different calendar systems ("old" and "new" style), the days of Easter are rarely the same for Orthodox and Catholics.

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 ... >>

Dangerous fungal clouds 29.01.2020

Scientists at the University of California at Irvine (USA) have found that a large number of nanoparticles contained in the atmospheric air, involved in the formation of clouds and causing potentially dangerous asthma in humans, are actually fungal spores.

In 2016, researchers took samples for a month in Oklahoma using a device that captures particles 20-60 nanometers in diameter and then places them on a thin platinum filament. After the molecules evaporated, a high-resolution mass spectrometer analyzed the resulting gases, establishing their chemical composition.

Airborne spores absorb water, swell and rupture into fragments 30 nanometers in diameter, which are much smaller than cells that are thousands of nanometers in diameter, the scientists say. These particles are able to penetrate much deeper into the lungs. The possible allergenicity of spore fragments explains why some people have asthma attacks during rainy seasons.

Nanoparticles can play the role of nuclei to which water molecules are attached. This creates ice crystals, which in turn form clouds.
