How do the Swedes themselves call the buffet and the wall?

The Swedes themselves call the buffet table a snack or a sandwich. The Swedish term for the Swedish wall translates as "frame with crossbeams." They do not know anything in this country about the Swedish family either - the opinion that the Swedes are much more likely than other peoples to practice cohabitation of three or more people is a delusion.

How was coal formed?

Coal was formed in different periods of the Earth's development. The longest period in which coal was formed is the Pennsylvania Period, which began about 250 years ago and lasted about 000 years. The rest of the coal formed between one and one hundred million years ago.

What happened at that time and how was coal formed? Coal is located in the earth's crust in the form of layers up to several kilometers long and up to three meters thick between rocks. Coal is the remains of ancient trees and plants that grew in swampy jungles in a warm, humid climate hundreds of millions of years ago.

Such swamps were dominated by fast-growing reeds and gigantic ferns. Over time, they died off and fell into the swamp. This saved them from decay. Bacteria processed some parts of the trees, turning them into a gas that escaped. What remained was a black mass, consisting mainly of carbon. In the future, it turned into a layer of coal.

The lush vegetation gradually increased this layer to a thickness of several meters. In the end, this process stopped when the area was covered with water. As a result, coal seams were covered with layers of bottom sediments and sand.

Over time, the pressure of the upper layers displaced the liquid, leaving a paste-like mass, which, slowly solidifying, turned into coal. In some places this process was repeated several times. The resulting layer of sediments was covered with water, and a swamp re-formed in this place. Again a layer of vegetation appeared, and again it was flooded. In this way, layers of coal were created, separated by silt and sand, which hardened over time.

It takes many thousands of years to turn wood into coal. It is easy to see evidence that charcoal originated from wood. Occasionally, well-preserved imprints of fern, tree bark, as well as fossilized pieces of trunks and stumps are found in coal.

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 ... >>

Invisible mark 02.11.2000

The English firm "Smart Water" began to produce a novelty for forensics. This invention of Phil Cleary, a retired police officer, is a water-soluble mixture of different substances that glows in the rays of an ultraviolet laser.

A system is being installed in the apartment that sprays the intruding robber with this mixture. It is colorless, and traces of it on the skin and clothes are not visible, but it is almost impossible to wash them off. The composition is unique for each apartment, so by illuminating the suspect with a laser, you can find out exactly where he paid a visit.

The system is installed separately or in addition to the alarm system already in the house, and a noticeable sign is fixed at the front door, notifying potential robbers of a serious interference (criminals who read the press bypass such apartments).

An individual luminous mark is already being applied to motorcycles, cars, weapons and other valuable or dangerous movables. But in this case, the mixture is made insoluble so that rain does not wash it away.

In addition, explosives can be marked with the same compounds - the nature of the glow of the traces of the explosion will indicate the place where the explosives were produced.
