What flowers in Sarajevo remind of the war many years after its end?

When Sarajevo was under siege in the 1990s, shells exploded in the city every now and then. But the craters on the asphalt in places where people died from shells were filled not with new asphalt, but with red tar. Therefore, even many years after the end of the war, you can see the scars from it, nicknamed "Sarajevo roses", although their number decreases every year.

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 ... >>

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 60x optical zoom camera 05.08.2013

Panasonic has announced the addition of the DMC-FZ70 to its Lumix range of digital cameras. Equipped with a 20mm to 1200mm equivalent focal length lens, this camera's 60x optical zoom is more than double that of its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-FZ60. The optical scheme of the lens includes 14 elements in 12 groups, among them six are aspherical, and three are made of low dispersion glass. As for the maximum aperture of the lens, it varies from F / 2,8 to F / 5,9.

It goes without saying that with this optical zoom, the camera is equipped with an optical stabilization system that also works when shooting video. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 uses a 1/2,3-inch CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 16,8 MP and a Venus Engine image processor. The camera allows continuous shooting at 9 frames per second in maximum resolution and Full HD video recording at 30 frames per second.

The novelty supports iA intelligent shooting mode, and also allows you to apply 15 different effects to photographs. It also supports saving pictures in RAW format.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 is equipped with a 3-inch display with a resolution of 460 dots, the amount of integrated flash memory of the product is 000 MB. It is supposed to use SD, SDHC or SDXC cards as the main data storage. The camera is equipped with a USB port and a Mini HDMI video output.

Overall dimensions of new items - 130 x 97 x 118 mm, weight - 606 grams. The battery life of the camera, measured according to the CIPA standard, is 400 shots.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 is priced at $399 in the US.
