In which state did a third-order enclave exist?

After the division of British India, many enclaves formed in the province of East Pakistan, which later became the independent state of Bangladesh. Among others, there was a unique third-order enclave of Dakhala Kagrabari - Indian territory surrounded by the land of Bangladesh, surrounded by Indian territory, surrounded by the land of Bangladesh.

Only in 2015 did the states sign an agreement on the exchange of territories, eliminating the enclaves.

How did the cards get their names?

Various suggestions have been made about the invention of playing cards. Some claim that they first appeared in Egypt, others prefer Arabs, Hindus or Chinese. We know that originally playing cards were used to predict the future and were associated with religious symbols.

Ancient Hindu cards, for example, had 10 suits representing the 10 incarnations of the god Vishnu. The game of cards was probably brought to Europe in the 22th century. We can trace the beginnings of modern playing cards to certain cards that existed in Italy. They were called tarotam, or drawn cards, and there were 22 of them in total. They were used for divination or just for games. These 56 picture cards were combined with 78 number cards to make a deck of 4 cards. One of the tarot cards was called "jester", from which the "joker" originated. This deck had XNUMX suits representing the cup (goblet), sword, money and wand.

There were also 4 "court" cards: king, queen, jack and ace. From the Italian deck of 56 cards they moved to the French of 52. The French deck included a king, a queen, a jack and 10 cards with numbers, 4 of each suit. The suits were also given new names: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs. The English adopted this deck, which we still use today. The first European maps were handmade and therefore too expensive for general use. With the invention of printing, it became possible for most people to have their own playing cards.

Early cards were either square, or elongated, or even round. But today their usual size is from 89 mm to 63,5 or 57 mm. A lot of effort has gone into putting national heroes or current events on maps. But it was generally seen as an innovation. Figures on American and English maps wear clothes from the times of Henry VII and Henry VIII.

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 ... >>

Antenna using sea water fountain 20.02.2016

Every day, without realizing it, we use radio waves that are so short (but relatively strong) that they allow us to use tiny antennas in various electronic devices. However, as the radio waves get longer and the signal gets weaker, the antennas should get bigger accordingly.

In China, for example, the FAST radio telescope is currently under construction, which will be the largest in the world and will cover an area equal to 30 football fields. And in less exotic structures, huge fixed antennas are required, the construction of which takes a lot of time and money. Therefore, researchers are considering using alternative materials that could make very large antennas portable.

Salt water is one such material. Five years ago, US Navy researchers patented an antenna that used the magnetic induction of sodium chloride in sea water to transmit and receive signals, and the frequency of the signal was determined by the height of the water fountain. The US Navy has tried to find commercial applications for the technology, but so far nothing has come of it, since the jet apparatus has to be kept above the water so that there is no short circuit.

Now Japan's Mitsubishi has announced its version of a waterborne antenna called the SeaAerial, which the company says is capable of receiving digital broadcasts from land. A Mitsubishi innovation is the use of a nozzle in the antenna, in which a tube of insulating material physically separates the antenna jet from the surrounding water and prevents short circuits. In addition, according to the authors of the antenna, they managed to solve the problem of the relatively low (compared to metals) electrical conductivity of sea water. Through computer simulations, the researchers were able to determine the ideal jet diameter, which increased antenna efficiency by 70%.
