Where and when did hockey goaltenders receive a fine during a game?

In 1917, the NHL changed the rule to allow goaltenders to deliberately fall onto the ice while trying to stop the puck. Prior to this, goalkeepers received a minor fine and an additional $2 monetary penalty for doing so.

Similar fines from $2 to $15 accompanied all other legal fouls at the time.

What is a vaccine?

Every living organism has the ability to resist infection and overcome it. This ability is called immunity.

With various diseases caused by viruses, a person’s protective reaction is triggered and helps to overcome them. After smallpox, measles, chickenpox, the body develops immunity to these diseases, so that they never happen again.

But after the flu, there is no certainty that you will not get infected again. To artificially develop immunity, it is necessary to introduce a weakened virus into the body. In this case, the disease proceeds in a mild form. After recovery, a person becomes immune to it for some time. This injection of a weakened virus is called a vaccination. The vaccine consists of neutralized organisms that cause this disease. They produce protective antibodies that neutralize pathogenic microbes.

A vaccine can be obtained by infecting certain animals with a virus of a particular disease. When the virus is completely weakened, it will not harm a person, but will only cause an increase in immunity. Another way to get a vaccine is to make it from "killed" or inactive viruses. When they are administered in large quantities, they stimulate the formation of antibodies in the body to fight the disease. The vaccine for sleeping sickness and influenza is produced by this method. Sometimes immunity is increased by injecting active viruses into the skin.

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 ... >>

Real-time sequencing 28.07.2016

Scientists from the University of Nottingham (England), led by Dr. Matt Loose (Matt Loose), together with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, have developed a compact device that can decipher the desired sections of DNA "on order", in real time.

The handheld device, called MinION, is based on nanopore sequencing. Its essence is as follows: long organic molecules (for example, DNA) pass through the pores in the membrane, to which an electrical voltage is applied. In this case, the ion current through the pore changes depending on which part of the molecule passes through the pore - for example, which nucleotide. By registering these changes (special software does this in MinION), it is possible to decipher (sequence) the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.

The breakthrough achievements of British scientists is that the device they created is, firstly, compact and (relatively) easy to use, and secondly, it works in real time. The latter was achieved by accelerating the movement and processing of information inside the device. Thanks to this, it became possible to identify a section of DNA even before it completely passes through the pore. After identification, the system compares the section being processed with the one that needs to be decrypted, and gives the command to continue doing this or skip this section and immediately go to the next one (with which the same procedure will be repeated). This technology is called "Read Until".

There is little doubt that MinION can significantly accelerate research in various fields of biology and medicine. "Applying this approach to a wide range of problems, from pathogen detection to sequencing of target regions of the human genome, is a matter of the near future," said Dr. Luz.
