Which hockey player received a prison sentence for a fight on the court?

Fighting in hockey has long been a part of the game and a spectacle for the fans. However, fights on the court can result in punishment for hockey players not only in the form of penalty minutes or disqualification. In 1988, Minnesota player Dino Sissarelli hit an opponent twice in the head with a club, and then added a hand to the face. A trial was held that recognized this episode as an attack, and sentenced Sissarelli to one day in prison and a fine of 1000 Canadian dollars.

How do blood banks work?

Many hospitals have blood banks. They contain all types of blood. When blood is required for a transfusion, it is taken from there. As these reserves are depleted, healthy people donate blood to replenish them. Blood can be stored refrigerated for up to three weeks. To prevent its coagulation, a chemical is added - sodium citrate. Usually, blood transfusion is done to make up for severe blood loss. They can occur during surgery, during accidents and as a result of certain diseases.

Sometimes only its constituent parts are used for blood transfusion. Often only the liquid part of the blood, plasma, is needed. It is usually poured if a person is badly burned. As a result of severe burns, a large amount of blood plasma is lost. In some cases of anemia, only red blood cells are transfused. With this disease, it is precisely them that are missing in a person’s blood, or these little bodies contain too little hemoglobin.

In a blood transfusion, a person receives blood of the same type as their own. Otherwise, a bad reaction is possible. Just in case, blood prepared for transfusion is checked for compatibility with the blood of the person who is to receive it. Transfusion of previously harvested blood was first carried out by the American physician Oswald Robertson. He used it to treat wounded soldiers in 1918, during the First World War.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

New materials will replace genuine leather 08.07.2016

Platinum Dirt from California, USA works with leather taken from car seats, old sofas and any other items. The result is leather jackets, skirts, bags, as well as various items such as leather leggings and wristlets.

The question is, how to replace the actual leather in cars, if it then has to be disposed of anyway? To the counter question, why change the skin, supporters of "leather replacement" point out that the skin is so widely used in cars that it has lost any "status", and the recently shown prototype of the Rolls-Royce of the future offers silk upholstery. In addition, there is a growing number of vegans in the world - vegans who oppose the exploitation of animals and exclude all animal products from their diet, as well as people who simply sympathize with animals. Accordingly, automotive companies are offering alternative upholstery materials.

For example, well-known artificial leather, which makes you feel cold in winter and sticks to your back in summer, at Toyota has turned into a material called SofTex, which dries faster than leather and surpasses it in terms of durability. And the Sensatec material used in BMW is even treated with a special compound that smells like leather. Sports cars like Lamborghini are experimenting with carbon-fibre fabric, like much of the bodywork. Maserati, like Rolls-Royce, prefers silk seat inserts, and not just any, but from the famous supplier of materials and fashionable clothes Ermenegildo Zegna.

However, the newest and most unexpected word in applied materials science seems to have come from an English startup called Ananas Anam. Using pineapple leaves from the Philippines, the company has learned how to produce artificial suede, not much different from the real one. In addition to fiber for the material, the process produces biomass that can be used as fertilizer.
