What is the most common age for adoption in Japan?

More than 90% of adoptions in Japan are not for children, but for people over 20 years old, mostly men. This practice is due to the fact that many Japanese companies are family businesses.

When the owner of the business has no sons of his own, or the sons are unable or uninterested in running the company, the owner takes in his family a capable young man who becomes the principal heir.

Often this procedure is accompanied by a marriage between the adopted and the daughter of the adoptive father.

How is the total mass of living matter on Earth distributed between land and ocean?

The total mass of living matter on the continents of our planet is about 2420 billion tons. Of these, 2400 billion tons (99,2 percent) are plants and only 20 billion tons (0,8 percent) are animals and microorganisms.

The total mass of living matter in the water of the World Ocean is 3,2 billion tons. Of these, plants account for only 200 million tons (6,3 percent), while animals and microorganisms account for 3 billion tons (93,7 percent).

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 ... >>

Flute, which is nine thousand years old 14.03.2000

Six flutes made from the bones of a crowned crane have been found in a burial dating back to the early Neolithic in the Chinese province of Henan.

One of the flutes is perfectly preserved, without a single crack. It is not the oldest musical instrument known, but it is the oldest that can still be played. Musicians were able to extract sounds from it that the human ear had not heard for the past nine millennia.

Now Chinese musicologists are studying the flute system, trying to understand what melodies could be played on it. The oldest Chinese scales were recorded "only" three thousand years ago.
