What is the most numerous wild bird?

The most numerous of the wild birds is the African red-billed weaver, whose population is estimated at 1,5 billion individuals.

This bird of the song passerine family lives in colonies, in flocks of up to several tens of thousands of individuals. After the end of the rainy season, such a flock settles in a suitable place in tree plantings or in reed supports. Males arrange simple nests here, in which all females almost simultaneously (with a difference of 2-3 days) begin to lay eggs. Incubation lasts 13 days, and after rising to the wing, the entire colony, which has grown many times over, begins to roam around the surroundings.

Having settled on a grain or millet field, such a "horde" can completely harvest the crop. This small bird literally terrifies the African population south of the Sahara.

In the fight against the African red-billed weaver, even flamethrowers were used.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Toshiba delays OLED TV launch 31.08.2007

The main reason for this decision is the extremely high cost of producing large-format OLED matrices - for example, even relatively small 11-inch "organic" Sony TVs are produced in extremely limited quantities, about 2 thousand units per month.

As for Toshiba, it has postponed the release of its 30-inch TV panels from this year to March 2010. Even less optimistic are the forecasts for the future of SED panels. Toshiba previously postponed the release of high-contrast, large-format panels indefinitely, and this situation has not changed.

And the main reason is not only problems with the license agreement with Nano-Proprietary, the owner of the patent on the SED panel. The production of new generation displays, as well as OLED solutions, is still too expensive to be able to compete with modern LCD and plasma TVs.
