What was the name of the French kiss in Russia?

In penitential collections of the 14th century, a kiss with an open mouth and the use of the tongue was called Tatar. In the 18th century, such kisses began to be called already French. These names reflect a long-standing tendency to denote morally harmful phenomena by the influence of a foreign culture.

Why don't all trees have growth rings?

It is widely known that the age of a tree can be determined by the growth rings on the cut, the appearance of which is due to the change of seasons and the accompanying acceleration or deceleration of the growth of tree tissues. But this phenomenon is valid only for plants of the temperate zone. In tropical regions, where the climate is approximately the same throughout the year and there are no clearly defined periods of cooling or drought, most trees do not form visible annual rings. To find out their age, it is necessary to analyze the concentration of certain chemical elements in the wood.

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 ... >>

Magnetic bracelets don't work 05.09.2006

According to the British Medical Journal, magnetic bracelets are ineffective - at least not for relieving arthritis.

If a small positive effect exists, it is only because of suggestion and self-hypnosis. The authors of the study indicate that if magnetic fields affected a person, then some changes would be noted in patients exposed to strong magnetic fields when examined on a nuclear magnetic tomograph.

Meanwhile, "treatment" with a magnetic bracelet distracts the patient from effective methods and makes him waste time.
