Who did they turn the monument to Lenin in Odessa into, so as not to dismantle it?

According to the adopted law on decommunization, all monuments to Lenin on the territory of Ukraine must be demolished. However, the monument on the territory of the Odessa plant "Pressmash" avoided dismantling due to the fact that the sculptor Alexander Milov attached a helmet and suit made of titanium alloy to it, creating the world's first monument to Darth Vader.

The composition is complemented by a Wi-Fi access point installed in the head of the Dark Lord, distributing the Internet.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Why are the keys on the keyboard arranged in the QWERTY sequence?

On the first American typewriters, the keys were usually arranged alphabetically. Due to the imperfection of the design, pressing adjacent keys often led to pinching and typing errors, which, moreover, remained unnoticed by the operator until the carriage was moved to the next line. Therefore, designers began to experiment with spacing frequently occurring letter combinations into different parts of the keyboard in order to increase the productivity of operators. In 1878, the QWERTY layout finally took shape, placed on the Remington No. 2 machine, and has survived to this day in an almost unchanged form.

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 ... >>

Purifier Generator 24.03.2015

Bacteria, purifying water, will give electricity. As a rule, wastewater treatment is a costly process, but it can also be made a little profitable.

For example, those organic substances from which water is purified have stored a lot of energy in their chemical bonds. If they are simply decomposed, the energy will be lost. But if special bacteria do this, which in the process of feeding will create a pair of proton and electron, and if these bacteria are also placed on an electrode through which they can give their electron to the circuit, then chemical energy will turn into electrical energy.

This idea is not new, many researchers have taken on the creation of a bacterial fuel cell, but few have come up with something worthwhile. Another attempt was made by Luis Cesar Colminares and Roman Netzer: working on the project of the Norwegian innovation center SINTEF, they created a cell for wastewater treatment.

The researchers took a long time to select cultures of bacteria and eventually succeeded: the laboratory setup is able to provide enough electricity to power a small fan. Wastewater comes from a nearby dairy farm and is saturated with organic acids that bacteria love. However, the battery must also work on water of a different composition.'

"We don't expect to produce much electricity, but our plant is cheap and the purification process is energy-intensive," says Netzer.
