Which hemisphere of the brain is more developed in creative people?

In the literature on psychology, there is often a conventional wisdom that people with a penchant for logic and analytics have a more developed left hemisphere of the brain, while creative and artistic natures have a more developed right hemisphere. However, there is no scientific evidence for this claim. Neuropsychologists at the University of Utah scanned the brains of more than 2013 study participants in XNUMX and found no evidence that patterns of neural connections between different parts of the brain differ between people with different mindsets. Although more or less involvement of the hemispheres has been scientifically confirmed, depending on the type of current task performed by the brain, this does not mean at all that in general, each of us has activity in a particular hemisphere - in a normal healthy person, all parts of the brain work the same way.

Who was the first to brew coffee?

It is interesting to note that in ancient times, coffee was not brewed, but was eaten just like that. For centuries, the coffee tree beans were used by East African tribes simply as a food product. They fried them in pans or cooked them in animal fat and then ate them. They liked the fact that the grains had a stimulating effect. The first coffee trees probably grew in Kaffa, in one of the provinces of Ethiopia. The name of this province, obviously, gave the name to this product. In the XNUMXth century, Arab merchants came to Kaffa and learned about coffee beans. They started cultivating coffee in Yemen.

It was there that coffee was brewed for the first time. The followers of Mohammed were not allowed to drink wine, and coffee was the stimulant drink that was their substitute for wine. In the middle of the XNUMXth century, the use of coffee as a drink spread from Yemen to Mecca, and from there to Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus and other places.

In 1511, coffee houses appear in Cairo. Coffee was introduced to Western Europe around 1615. Although it was enthusiastically received, many people refused to drink it. They considered it poisonous. But coffee houses soon became part of the public life of England. Indeed, so many people gathered in coffee houses that King Charles II began to fear that a conspiracy might arise there. He ordered them to close. But by this time, coffee had become so popular that the king had to reopen the coffee houses.

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 ... >>

Luminous electric car charging cable 07.11.2014

The process of charging the battery of an electric vehicle can now be visually monitored using a special backlit power cable.

An unusual development was presented by Leoni AG at the international eCarTec fair in Munich. A luminous LED cable called iEVC (illuminated Electrical Vehicle charging Cable) can not only report the level of battery charge in different colors, but also makes it clear whether the process of supplying electricity is running smoothly.

An additional benefit is that the glow will be clearly visible in dark or poorly lit places. Passing motorists will notice it from afar, so the risk of cable damage is noticeably reduced.

Although the functionality of the cable has increased, its weight has remained the same as that of traditional electric car charging cables. It is also reported that when it was created, recycled materials were used, in particular, recycled copper.
