Which spiders eat mostly plant foods?

All spiders known to biologists are predators. However, the diet of the Bagheera kiplingi species is 90% plant based. These spiders live on acacias and feed on belt bodies - special structures at the tips of leaves rich in lipids and proteins. Usually, belt corpuscles are included in the diet of ants, which "cultivate" them and protect the plant, and spiders simply steal them. Only during drought Bagheera kiplingi can turn to cannibalism, eating each other.

Why did the asteroid Aten get its name?

Discovered on January 7, 1976, the tiny asteroid Aten (about 800 meters across) is named after the ancient Egyptian sun god because its entire orbit lies inside the earth's orbit.

The maximum distance of the Aten from the Sun is 0,966 astronomical units, or the average distance of the Earth from the Sun.

Two more similar asteroids are known: Ra-Shalom and Hathor. The maximum removal of the first of them from the Sun does not exceed 0,832 astronomical units, the second - 0,844 astronomical units.

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, ... >>

Trassir Digital Video Surveillance Systems 09.01.2004

The Russian company DSSL (Digital Security Systems Lab), a manufacturer of digital security systems, has introduced a line of professional computer video surveillance systems Trassir.

The most advanced solution in the Trassir line of systems is the latest model with hardware signal processing Trassir DV-H, which allows you to record up to 24 channels of high-definition video in real time with synchronized sound. The vast majority of digital video recorders offered on the domestic market today carry out data compression by software, completely exhausting computer resources.

In the Trassir DV-H system, video and audio signals are compressed in the advanced H.264 format entirely in hardware on the video capture card, which significantly relieves the computer for parallel tasks and increases the fault tolerance of the video server.

The system of this class is designed for use in places with a dynamic change in the situation, where a clear image with maximum detail from a large number of cameras is required, such as gambling establishments, banks, supermarkets, production workshops.

Two models are currently available: Trassir DV-H - recording with 704x288 resolution, 16 kHz audio and Trassir DV - recording with 352x288 resolution, 8 kHz audio. The cost of the system - from 1700 USD.
