What flower has the same name in most European languages?

Forget-me-not in most European and many non-European languages \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbhas the same name in meaning. For example, forget-me-not in English, Vergissmeinnicht in German. But there are a lot of legends about the origin of such a name, almost every country has its own. One of the legends tells that God gave names to all plants except for a small flower, and he said: "Do not forget me!". "That will be your name," God replied.

How did stock markets originate?

Millions of people - if not half of the US population - have a personal interest in what happens on the stock market. Some have an immediate interest because they co-own companies through the shares they hold. Others are owners of government shares and other securities. Another group is the owners of insurance companies and insurance bank accounts.

For some time now, banks and insurance companies have been investing heavily in securities. A stock exchange is a market for buying and selling securities such as stocks, bonds, bonds. This market has been around for centuries. And the exchange began with regular meetings, usually in a cafe or restaurant, of several people who were intermediaries between the buyer and the seller. They did it for a commission.

In London, for example, the brokers met at Jonathan's coffee shop in Change Alley. In 1773 they moved to premises on Sweeting Alley. This room was given the name "Stock Exchange".

In the US, in order to pay for the cost of the Revolutionary War, to finance other activities, it became necessary to sell stocks and bonds to the public. But people didn't want to invest in stocks unless they could easily resell them. Therefore, the securities market became necessary. The brokers of those days decided to meet under the plane trees on Wall Street. These people became the first members of the New York Stock Exchange. Their trading floor was a small piece of land surrounded by old trees, but it was the first stock exchange in the United States.

In other countries of the world, stock exchanges arose even earlier. The money market in Paris marked the beginning of the first French stock exchange. This was in 1138. In Amsterdam, the first securities market appeared in 1611.

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 ... >>

Creating Super Potatoes 11.09.2023

As climate change raises concerns about global food security, researchers at McGill University are exploring ways to improve the sustainability and nutritional profile of potatoes by analyzing the genome sequences of nearly 300 potato varieties.

Professor Martina Strömvik and her team created a potato superpangen to identify genetic traits that could lead to the development of new potato varieties with improved characteristics.

"Our superpangen reveals the genetic diversity of potatoes and allows us to identify genetic traits that can improve modern varieties. It includes data on 60 species and represents the most extensive collection of genomic data on potatoes and their relatives."

Researchers say wild potato species can serve as teachers, helping to understand which genetic traits play an important role in adapting to climate change and extreme weather, as well as improving food quality and food security.

To create the potato pangene, the researchers used supercomputers to analyze data from publicly available genetic data banks, including repositories in Canada, the United States and Peru.

Scientists hope pangen will help answer many questions about the origins and evolution of this important crop, which was domesticated by indigenous people in the mountains of southern Peru nearly 10 years ago. In addition, these data can be used to identify specific genes that contribute to the development of more resistant potato varieties, using both traditional breeding methods and gene editing techniques.

"Researchers hope to develop plants that are resistant to various diseases and can better survive extreme weather conditions such as heavy rains, frosts and droughts," said Prof Strömvik.
