What organ on the human face functions alternately with one of its halves?

Most people, due to the natural nasal cycle, breathe through only one nostril at a time. The change of the "leading" nostril occurs cyclically, on average every 4 hours. This is due to the same periodic increase and decrease in the width of the lumen in each of the halves of the nasal cavity, which occur due to the expansion and contraction of blood vessels.

How did the stalls in the theaters of the Pushkin era differ from what we are used to?

During the time of Pushkin, not all the stalls of the theater were occupied by chairs. They were only in the first few rows for especially noble and wealthy gentlemen. Behind these rows was a standing stalls area, tickets to which were much cheaper. There were usually creative people, students, clerks - they were the most active part of the audience, setting the tone for applause and cries of "Bravo!" A lot of theater-goers crowded into the stalls for especially popular performances, the most inveterate of which came 2-3 hours before the start and occupied the best standing places.

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 ... >>

Memory cards with backup function 13.12.2013

Sony has released new SD memory cards that the manufacturer says can do more than serve as temporary storage or be used to transfer pictures from a camera. Backup SD Cards are endowed with an automatic backup function, eliminating the need for the user to use an external drive for this purpose.

Of course, the secret of the cards is only in the presence of the corresponding software on them. After inserting the card into the slot for the first time, the user is prompted to install the software on the computer and select folders whose contents will be automatically copied to the card.

When the card is in the slot, backup is performed automatically as soon as the program detects data changes. The current state of the user is informed by the notes During backup and Backup completed, displayed next to the file names.

To protect the data on the card from unauthorized access, the user can enable AES encryption with a 256-bit key.

The price of SNBA16, SNBA32 and SNBA64 cards with 16, 32 and 64 GB capacity is $28, $53 and $100 respectively.
