How are the words impossible and privilege related?

Once in Russia, along with the word "impossible", a word without a negative prefix was used, which was read as "lze" and was a dative case from "lga", which meant "freedom". The word "lga" itself did not reach us, but its trace remained in the words "benefit" and "benefits".

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 ... >>

Cat face expression 04.11.2023

Scientific observation of 53 adult domestic cats revealed that these animals have no less than 276 different facial expressions when communicating with each other. While accurately deciphering the meaning of these expressions appears to be a difficult task, scientists were able to identify about half of them as expressions indicating a friendly mood.

Two researchers from the University of Kansas and Lyon College note that while the facial expressions of domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) are increasingly being studied, this most often occurs in the context of interactions with humans. However, communication between members of their own species can be more complex and unique. The researchers took advantage of living close to a cat cafe in Los Angeles, where coffee could be enjoyed in the company of dozens of socializing cats. After staying there for a year after the establishment closed, the scientists documented 192 minutes of interactions between 53 cats.

After analyzing the recordings, the researchers identified 276 unique combinations of facial muscle movements in cats, corresponding to various expressions. In 45 percent of cases, the facial expressions were associated with friendly communication between cats, while in 37 percent of cases they clearly indicated hostile intentions. The remaining 18 percent were characterized by scientists as expressions that fell between the two types.

The ancestors of domestic cats led a solitary lifestyle, but the process of their domestication led to an increase in the frequency of contacts between them. This may be why domestic cats have evolved the ability to demonstrate a variety of intentions using facial expressions that are predominantly positive, thereby facilitating the formation of social bonds.
