How can a false pregnancy manifest itself in women?

Women may develop a false pregnancy. This condition is accompanied by several signs of real pregnancy, for example, the cessation of menstruation, abdominal growth, breast enlargement, nausea, and a change in eating habits, while the woman does not just feign, but believes that she is pregnant. Sometimes even the test gives a positive result, and the absence of a fetus can only be detected by ultrasound. Some experts believe that the main cause of false pregnancy lies in the field of psychology - for example, a strong desire to have a child or, conversely, a panic fear of becoming pregnant. There are also hypotheses that this condition may not be the cause, but the result of serious hormonal disorders, in particular, the excess of normal levels of estrogen and prolactin.

How was the Grand Canyon formed?

The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest sights on the surface of the Earth. In some places, it looks like a magical city of stone with temples, towers and castles of dazzling colors. One of the most amazing things about the Canyon is that it was made by a river! The waters of the Colorado River have created this huge gorge over the millennia. Just imagine that it was washed in solid rock for a long distance, and then you will be able to appreciate the monstrous power of the waters of this river. Even now, year after year, Colorado continues to bite even deeper into the bottom of the gorge.

In some places, the Grand Canyon is more than a mile deep and four to eighteen miles wide. As the river deepened deeper into the plateau, forming a canyon, it revealed on the stone walls the history of the Earth for hundreds of millions of years. At the bottom of the gorge near the river, ancient crystalline rocks were exposed. These are the remains of an ancient mountain system, which was destroyed both by itself and with the help of water and wind. The emergence and disappearance of this mountain system was discovered only with the formation of the Grand Canyon. On the foundation of this mountain range hidden in the thickness of the earth are layers of quartzite, sandstone and limestone. They formed as the epochs changed, as the ocean waves rolled over these places from the east, then from the west, when entire mountain ranges appeared and disappeared.

The fossils found here serve as evidence that sea waves once rolled over these rocks. These are the fossilized remains of algae, seashells and fish. The first white man to see the Grand Canyon was the Spanish traveler Garcia López de Cardenas, who discovered the Canyon in 1540. In our time, the government has singled out the most beautiful and interesting part of the Canyon and arranged here the Grand Canyon National Park, with an area of 1009 square miles. Thousands of tourists come every year to admire the local beauty, and there is even the opportunity to ride a mule along the bottom of the gorge along the Colorado.

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 ... >>

A unique method for studying genes has been developed 24.07.2019

British scientists have developed a new computational way to study genes to assign certain functions to DNA molecules with an unknown meaning.

Researchers at the University of Kent studied a 473-gene organism from a bacterium (Mycoplasma mycoides) that thrives in nutrient-rich environments. The purpose of almost a third of the genes (149) could not be established before. A new unique computational method helped to assign special functions to 66 genes. Scientists have found that many of these sites carry nutrients and remove debris from the cell.

"This reflects the needs of an organism with a minimal genome in a nutrient-rich environment. If the organism receives them in abundance, then it does not need to have a large number of genes that perform metabolic functions," said University of Kent Professor Mark Wass.

Scientists argue that "the minimum genome consists of a set of genes necessary for various forms of life, and a second set of intermediary genes that ensure life in a certain environment."
