Which landlocked country has a navy?

Bolivia is landlocked but has an official navy. The fact is that back in 1879, Bolivia was forced to cede a section of the Pacific coast, having lost the war to Chile, and the public consciousness did not come to terms with this loss. The country holds an annual Sea Day, and political rhetoric openly recognizes the need to win back access to it sooner or later.

Now the Bolivian fleet consists mainly of boats patrolling the border rivers and the largest South American lake on the border with Peru - Titicaca.

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 ... >>

Tiny Intel Curie Modules 19.03.2015

To create a finished device, it is enough to connect the battery, the necessary sensors and download the necessary microcode. The output will be a wearable or embedded device for solving simple tasks of monitoring the specified parameters. It can be a watch, a bracelet, a brooch or a piece of furniture.

In an interview with PC World, Intel New Devices team leader Mike Bell said that Curie button modules will ship in the second half of this year. The Intel Curie modules are 18mm diameter board. The board contains an Intel Quark SE microcontroller, 80 KB SRAM, 384 KB flash memory, a hub with an integrated DSP for connecting sensors, a 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, a Bluetooth LE module, and a power and charge controller.

The company plans two delivery options. For fast provisioning of commercial products, Intel will ship the Curie module on board as shown in the picture. To reduce the cost of the solution and to develop unique solutions, the company will supply only the Quark SE microcontroller with the minimum required piping.
