During which war was the United States the only power friendly to Russia?

During the Crimean War of 1853-1856, the only influential power remaining friendly to Russia was the United States. American volunteers, including surgeons, helped the Russian troops.

When the British and French, after the fall of Sevastopol, held a banquet in San Francisco, not one of the invited Americans came there, and the banquet hall itself was smashed by the crowd.

Where, in parallel with the construction of Baikonur, was a false wooden spaceport built?

When in the 1950s it was decided to build a cosmodrome in the Kazakh steppes, in order to mislead a potential enemy, another cosmodrome was built - a wooden one - in the village of Baikonur in the Karaganda region.

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 ... >>

Electronic cigarettes are not better than regular ones 11.01.2016

Jessica Wang-Rodriguez, a pathologist at the San Diego branch of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and her colleagues concluded that e-cigarettes are no better than conventional ones: cells exposed to e-cigarette vapor are damaged and die. same as with nicotine. Scientists believe that the popular alternative to traditional cigarettes is not safe, and its distribution is potentially dangerous for the public.

The production of electronic cigarettes is developing very intensively. Marketing analysis shows that about 10 new brands and about 240 fragrances appear every month.

The question of the effect of electronic cigarettes to this day remains debatable. A study this year by a group of British American Tobacco researchers found that e-cigarette vapor was not cytotoxic.

At the same time, scientists from the University of Rochester (USA) found that e-cigarette flavor emissions contain free radicals, heavy metals and inflammatory agents. Researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health also concluded that since e-cigarettes contain the same amount of nicotine, the same undesirable effects can be expected from their use. However, almost all researchers agreed that the risks from smoking electronic cigarettes are still lower on average compared to conventional cigarettes.

According to Kevin Fenton, Director of the National Department of Public Health and Welfare (UK), in general, the content of harmful chemicals, including carcinogens, in e-cigarette vapor is much lower. However, the best thing a smoker can do to maintain their health is to stop smoking completely, he says. "In turn, we must provide smokers with accurate information about the various methods to quit smoking," said Kevin Fenton.
