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 ... >>

GIS is useful for politicians 03.02.2014

The young American company iPrecinct, which has developed a mobile application for managing non-profit initiatives, has signed a cooperation agreement with the largest developer and supplier of geographic information systems - ESRI.

iPrecinct hopes that the leader in GIS will help develop innovative, unprecedentedly effective systems for monitoring and managing political space. The integration of a mobile system for managing the work of political activists with the latest systems for collecting and processing geodata has a huge potential.

In order to understand the prospects of such work, it is necessary to take a closer look at the work of iPrecinct. The company's specialists have developed a special mobile application that helps organize the work of all parts of the political movement. In the struggle for political influence, it is very important to monitor the effect of political advertising in real time, as well as the work of volunteers, party members and other participants in the political movement.

A special iPrecinct application processes a large amount of information that is usually entered into Excel documents. Thanks to iPrecinct, the time-consuming data processing process is simplified as much as possible. The iPrecinct mobile app performs many functions, such as choosing the best routes for door-to-door volunteers. The system also allows you to study the reaction of the electorate in real time, detect dishonest work of political activists, etc.

The data received from the very "grassroots" is immediately transferred from mobile devices to the database of the political movement. This allows you to monitor the results of the campaign and, if necessary, take immediate action to change the strategy or regroup forces.

The partnership with ESRI will allow iPrecinct to use advanced tools for collecting and processing geospatial data to guide the political process. In the future, such systems will provide instant feedback between the electorate and the leadership of political parties, which is a new stage in the development of democratic institutions.
