Where do people of the Caucasian race live?

The traditional inhabitants of Europe, Western Asia, North Africa and North India are referred to as the Caucasoid race. However, the German anthropologist Friedrich Blummenbach introduced another term for her designation - the Caucasian race. In his opinion, white people first appeared in the Caucasus, and Georgians are their most beautiful representatives.

Now the term "Caucasian race" is used in many languages, and in English Caucasian is the official designation.

How do seeds come about?

We all love to smell and look at gorgeous flowers. And it is very difficult to accept the idea that the sole function of a flower is to produce seeds. The petals of the flower contain the organs necessary for the production of seeds. In the very center of the flower is one or more pistils. Stamens are located around the pistils. The pistil is the female part of the flower. It is enlarged downwards. If we cut the pistil in this place, we will find tiny white embryos there. They can develop into seeds if pollination occurs. Pollen is produced in the male organs of the flower - the stamens. At the end of each stamen there are small sacs that contain pollen.

In order to form a seed, the pollen from the stamens must reach the ovule, hidden at the base of the pistil. The only way it can get there is through the tip of the pestle, which is called the stigma. Pollen falls on the stigma, sticks and germinates there. A tube runs along the entire pistil, ending in the ovule. This pistil tube is filled with pollen, which reaches the ovule, fertilizes it, and the fruit, the seed, begins to develop. Only plants of the same species are pollinated.

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 ... >>

Dolphin tail swimmer 22.07.2009

When a person swims, only 3-4% of the energy expended is spent on moving forward. Even the use of fins increases the swimmer's energy efficiency by only 10-15%. While the efficiency of a dolphin reaches 80%, and the speed it develops can exceed 50 km / h.

American engineer Ted Siamillo created a one-meter-diameter fin made of carbon fiber, fiberglass and aluminum, modeled after a dolphin's tail. This "tail" weighs 1,1 kg, is attached to the swimmer's legs and allows you to swim at speeds up to 13 km / h, which is almost twice as fast as the world record. After some training, an athlete can even learn to jump out of the water, as dolphins do.

The engineer refuses to patent his invention, saying that he copied it entirely from a dolphin.
