Where and for how much can you clone your favorite dog?

South Korean scientist Hwang Wooseok was the first to clone a dog in 2005. Now his company is engaged in commercial cloning of dogs, the cost of one clone is $100.

A complete match of the character and appearance of your beloved pet and a cloned puppy is not guaranteed - for example, Dalmatians will have different spots.

The procedure itself is still far from perfect: the success rate of fertilization of the donor female is only 30%, and even in this case, puppies can be born sick. In this case, the company performs repeated cloning, as it guarantees the client a healthy puppy.

How did puppet shows start?

There are many types of dolls, as you know. Here are some of them: glove, cane, shadow theater puppets, puppets. These are small figures, controlled by ropes or wires from above, canes or hands from below. The puppets are as old as the theater itself. The first dolls were probably made in India or Egypt. A thousand-year-old puppet theater has been discovered in both of these countries. Puppets, i.e. puppets controlled by ropes from above, got their name in Italy.

For the early Christian holidays, small figures were created, united by the plot of the Nativity of Christ, including the Christ child, the Virgin Mary, and they were set in motion with ropes. This type of puppet was called "puppets", that is, little Mary. In China, Japan, and Java, figurines were created for puppet shows to represent heroes, gods, animals from legends and fairy tales.

Shadow theater originated in Java, Thailand and Greece. It operated on the principle of placing carved flat figures against a vertical screen, backlit. Did you know that great composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Gluck wrote operas specifically for puppet theaters?

One of the most beloved children's stories tells about the adventures of Pinocchio - a doll that came into life. In many countries there is a similar well-known character. He is known in England under the name "Punch", "Pulcinello" - in Italy, "Policinel" - in France.

Dolls can be any size you need. There are puppets only 15 cm high, and some reach 9-12 meters. It is also possible to make puppet animals that will be no less good actors.

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 ... >>

Smartphone vibration motor for wiretapping 11.06.2016

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) have demonstrated the possibility of wiretapping conversations using a vibration motor that is present in every phone and smartphone and is designed to create vibration for incoming calls and messages, writes TechCrunch.

The vibration motor can be of two types - electromechanical or electromagnetic. Only the second type can be used for wiretapping.

An electromagnetic vibration motor is a coil of wire, inside of which there is a magnetic core. When an alternating electric current is applied to the winding, the core oscillates, creating vibration. Thus, electrical impulses are converted into mechanical motion. Speakers and headphones work the same way.

The microphone has a similar device. It consists, in fact, of the same parts, but in it the mechanical vibrations of the membrane are converted into electrical impulses. This fact allows some speakers to be used as a low quality microphone. Researchers have already tried this practice with a tiny electromagnetic vibration motor in a mobile device.

In their experiment, they used a Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone with an electromagnetic vibration motor. But in order to successfully conduct the experiment, they needed to replace the control circuit for this motor with another one that they purchased at a regular radio parts store.
