What kind of chicken did the Muslim soldiers of the Russian imperial army ask to replace with a dzhigit?

The "wild division" of the Russian imperial army consisted mainly of Caucasian Muslims. On state awards for this category of soldiers, the images of saints, including George, were replaced by a double-headed eagle. However, the mountaineers did not like that

What can a blue whale swallow?

It is very interesting that the throat of a blue whale in its diameter does not exceed its navel (with a saucer) and slightly less than its eardrum (about the size of a small plate).

For eight months of the year, blue whales eat almost nothing, but all summer they feed almost non-stop, absorbing three tons of food a day. As you probably remember from your biology class, the blue whale's diet consists entirely of small pink crustaceans, otherwise known as krill, a delicacy that is also very easy to swallow. Krill is conveniently served directly into the whale's mouth in huge shoals, each of which can reach 100 tons or more.

The word krill comes from Norway. It comes from the Dutch kriel, meaning "small change", but in modern language it is also used to mean "pygmy" or "small potato". Krill sticks were in relatively good demand in Chile, but the so-called "shrimp mince" has become a real disaster for Russia, Poland and South Africa because of the dangerously high fluorine content. Its source was the shell of the krill - too small to peel off each of the crustaceans before putting it into a meat grinder.

And since the throat of the blue whale is too narrow, it means that even with all the desire, he could not swallow Jonah. The only species of whale that a person can crawl into the throat is the sperm whale, but its stomach is so acidic that it is simply impossible to survive in the whale's belly. And the famous story of 1891 about the "modern Jon" - the English sailor James Bartley, allegedly swallowed by a giant sperm whale and fifteen hours later rescued by fellow whalers - is pure fiction and quackery.

With the exception of the throat, everything else in the blue whale is very large. With a length of 32 m, this is the largest of all creatures that have ever lived on our planet. It is three times the size of the largest of the dinosaurs, and weighs as much as 2700 people combined. A single blue whale tongue weighs more than an elephant, has a heart the size of a family car, and a stomach that can hold over a ton of food. In addition, the sound emitted by a blue whale is the loudest of all that a living creature can produce: fellows can hear its low-frequency "rumble" at a distance of more than 16 thousand km.

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 ... >>

Drinking water from lunar soil 17.05.2023

The lunar soil contains water, but it is in a closed state, and not freely available to meet the needs of the astronauts. However, scientists have discovered a way to use this water for refreshment - by heating a cup of lunar soil in the microwave.

Water on the Moon is found in regolith - surface lunar dust. It is more in the frozen sediments at the poles of the Moon, which never see direct sunlight.

This discovery means that astronauts going to the moon will be able to carry fewer supplies of water with them. But how to get drinking water from regolith? Scientists from the Open University and the University of Central Florida are demonstrating that a conventional microwave can do the job.

Scientists used two types of simulated regolith, simulating the soil of the highlands and sea plains of the Moon, and added water to it in an amount from 3% to 15% of the total weight, which corresponds to estimates of the water content in the lunar soil. After that, the regolith samples were heated to the temperature and pressure that prevails on the surface of the moon, using a less powerful microwave than that used in the kitchen. After 25 minutes of heating, scientists were able to extract a significant amount of water.

However, the most "wet" samples showed the worst results, the efficiency of water extraction was reduced to 32%. Scientists believe that when soil containing more water freezes, the ice expands and pushes dust grains apart, reducing heat transfer between them and making water extraction less efficient.

However, researchers believe that low-power microwaves can be used by astronauts to extract water from areas where its content does not exceed 10% of the total weight of the soil.
