How could one get a job in the pre-revolutionary analogue of Goznak?

In pre-revolutionary Russia, in order to get a job in the "Expedition for the Procurement of State Papers" - an analogue of today's "Goznak" - the guarantee of two workers who knew the newcomer personally was required. If the newcomer did not justify the trust, all three quit.

Why do we call black and yellow birds titmouse?

When we talk about tits, we mean, first of all, a typical representative of the genus Parus major - the great tit. This species, however, has a black and yellow color and does not justify its name from an etymological point of view. The fact is that initially another species was called a titmouse, the blue tit, which just differs in a noticeable blue color, and then this name became collective for the whole genus. There is another version of the origin of the name from onomatopoeia singing "sin-sin".

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 ... >>

Electric school bus 18.11.2017

Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, through North American subsidiary Thomas Built Buses, has unveiled its first electric school bus, the Saf-T-Liner C2 Electric Bus, with a range of 100 miles (160 km) on a single charge.

Daimler has established itself as a leader in the electrification of the larger and heavier land transport segments. Its portfolio includes the Mitsubishi Fuso eCanter electric truck with a range of 97-129 km on a single battery charge. And in October, Daimler unveiled the E-FUSO Vision On, a powerful truck concept with a payload capacity of up to 11 tons and a range of up to 220 miles (350 km) on a single battery charge. The company used the experience gained in these projects to create an electric school bus.

"Starting in 2019, the Saf-T-Liner C2 Electric Bus, or "Jouley" for short, will deliver up to 81 kids to schools across America safely, quietly and without emissions. A 160 kWh battery provides up to 160 km of driving range. Additional batteries are optionally available for longer range without recharging.During the development of the Saf-T-Liner C2 Electric Bus, Thomas Built Buses was able to leverage Daimler's advances in electrical technology (for vehicles)." manufacturer's release.

School buses are ideal for electrification. They are not as heavily used as buses on city routes - often parked for long periods. And their routes tend to be short, so a run of up to 160 km on a single battery charge will be enough.
