Which animals hibernate immediately after birth?

The cubs of the gray monitor lizard, which lives in the deserts of Africa and Asia, hatch from eggs in the second half of autumn. However, they do not make their way to the surface from the hole clogged by their mother, but immediately, together with adults, hibernate until spring.

How are guide dogs trained?

Today, hundreds of young, strong, but blind people have received a new opportunity to walk as they want, work, live, and all this has become possible with the help of guide dogs.

The training of such dogs is a very long and laborious process. They must learn to obey the commands of the owner, except when it is dangerous for the owner. No guide dog will run across the road in front of a speeding car, no matter how the owner commands "go."

Guide dogs are most often German Shepherds, although Boxers and Labradors are sometimes also used for this purpose. The preparation takes three months. First, there are simple exercises - stand up, sit down, lie down, stand, bring something. They are repeated daily.

Then a special harness is put on. The dog learns to walk to the left of the trainer half a step ahead. The teacher behaves like a blind man: he stumbles upon various objects. The dog must lead him past them, stop and wait, and all this is in check. She chooses the path and passes the cars. Even though she obeys her master, she only goes when it's safe to do so.

Before the dog goes to his blind owner, the trainer makes a final check. He blindfolds himself, and the dog has to guide him across the tight track. This is done to ensure the good qualities of the guide dog.

The dog and its owner then train together for 4 weeks. Every day they repeat the simplest commands. All this the dog does only for the praise of the owner. Lively walks follow, the owner drives the team, through which they transmit signals to each other.

Soon they are ready to try to move around the city streets, but first under the supervision of an instructor. The dog skillfully chooses a path in the crowd, bypassing dangerous places, stops after each pull on the leash. Now these two work together as a team. Together they go home to start a new, free life!

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The most interesting sports game 09.10.2006

What sports game is the most interesting for a fan? Probably the one in which the result is the least predictable.

From this point of view, three employees of the famous laboratory in Los Alamos (USA) analyzed the results of more than three hundred thousand sports meetings that took place in the last century in the United States. Hockey, baseball and basketball games, as well as American football matches were taken into account. For comparison, we took European football, which is unpopular in the United States, by considering the results of meetings in the English major leagues.

It turned out that most often an unexpected result, when the wrong team wins, on which everyone bet, brings exactly European football. In second place is baseball, then, in descending order of interest, hockey, basketball, and in last place is American football.
