What Russian homonyms are homonyms in German as well?

The words "castle" (meaning a building) and "castle" (meaning a device) are homonyms in Russian for a reason. These words came to us through Polish and Czech by lexical tracing from German, where both "castle" and "castle" are pronounced the same - "Schloß". The German word, in turn, is derived from the Latin "clūsa". This homonymy arose due to the fact that the castle in a key geographical point, as it were, "locks" the passage of enemy troops deep into its territory.

How many types of nails are there?

Typically, nails are used to fasten pieces of wood together or to nail other materials to wood. Nails are hammered into the right place with a hammer and held in the tree by friction forces. Some nails are roughened for better grip. Most nails are machine-made from stiff steel wire. Such machines can produce hundreds of nails per minute. First, the machine cuts the wire into pieces of the desired length. Then she flattens one end of the piece, giving it the shape of a hat. And finally, sharpens the other end.

Some types of nails, called faceted nails, are stamped or cut from sheet metal. Faceted nails have a quadrangular cross-sectional shape, not a round one. There are a huge number of types of nails, as they are all used for different purposes. Universal nails used for a wide variety of types of work are called ordinary nails. Carpenter's nails used to make furniture have very small heads so that they are not noticeable.

Roofing nails, on the other hand, have very large heads. They are used to nail shingles and roofing sheets to the roof. Large caps hold thin material well and protect it from tearing at the attachment point. Some nails have two heads, one above the other. The nail is hammered to the first cap. The top remains on the surface so that the nail can be easily pulled out. Double-head nails are used when nailing scaffolding, scaffolding and other temporary structures.

Most nails are made from steel. And the nails used for driving into cement or masonry are made of special hardened steel. Some nails, such as roofing nails, are galvanized, that is, covered with a layer of zinc so that they do not rust. Nails used in the construction of ships must be stainless. They are usually made of brass or bronze. Nails longer than 15 centimeters are called spikes.

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 ... >>

Nanotubes will help to collect oil 02.05.2012

Researchers from Rice University and Pennsylvania State University have found that adding boron to carbon during the process of making nanotubes turns them into a resilient sponge that can repeatedly soak up oil.

During the growth of carbon nanotubes, boron creates "knots" that promote the formation of covalent bonds and a new material with unique properties. So, during the experiments, the nanosponge was immersed in a cup of water with a film of used motor oil. The sponge absorbed the oil, after which it was set on fire. As a result, the oil burned out, and the sponge was again used to collect oil products. The sponge can be used repeatedly - it remains elastic after 10000 compressions. At the same time, the sponge can be used not only to purify water from oil products, but also to store various hydrocarbons. To extract oil from such a soft "tank" you just need to squeeze it.

The creation of covalent bonds between carbon nanotubes is an important technology required for the fabrication of three-dimensional structures from this promising material. Until now, the development of such structures remains a complex technological problem, and the study of American scientists in this regard is very important. The unique nanosponge was created using a common chemical vapor deposition process. Due to the addition of boron, atomic-scale "knots" and covalent bonds of carbon nanotubes were formed. A detailed elemental analysis showed that these "nodules" are centers of concentration of excess boron atoms.

The new technology opens up opportunities for the production of a variety of materials with unusual properties. In particular, the oil-absorbing nanosponge has light weight, superhydrophobicity, high porosity, heat resistance, and mechanical flexibility. In addition, it has magnetic properties, which makes it possible, for example, to drop tons of spongy mass onto the surface of an oil-polluted ocean, and then collect a high-tech sorbent using magnets.
