Which European country has been at war with Japan for over a century?

In 1904, supporting the Russian Empire, the Principality of Montenegro declared war on Japan. Although Montenegro could not provide significant assistance, and in fact it consisted of a small detachment of volunteers who joined the Russian army. When the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed in 1905, they forgot about Montenegro, and during the 20th century they did not return to this issue, since Montenegro soon ceased to be an independent state. Only in 2006, Japan, recognizing the independence of Montenegro, which had seceded from Serbia, declared the end of the state of war, which, thus, formally lasted 102 years. It is noteworthy that the Montenegrin national football team played the first international match with the Japanese.

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 ... >>

People hunt birds or vice versa 19.04.2009

On the Indonesian island of Flores, in the same layer of sediments where the skeletons of unusual dwarfs, nicknamed "hobbits", were found several years ago, Dutch paleontologists discovered the bones of extinct huge birds.

The giant marabou of this previously unknown species was the largest predator on the island of Flores. The bird reached a height of almost two meters, while its contemporaries "hobbits" were only a meter tall. Whether the birds ate people or people hunted these birds is still unknown.
