When did Bhutanese learn that marijuana can be smoked?

In the Kingdom of Bhutan, marijuana grows everywhere, but for a very long time it was used only as feed for pigs. Only after 1999, when the ban on television was lifted in the country, did Bhutanese learn that it can be used as a drug. At the same time, an increase in the crime rate began to be recorded, although it remains one of the lowest in the world.

Why is it forbidden in India and China to find out the sex of the baby during pregnancy?

China and India are among the countries with the highest sex ratio, that is, an overabundance of men. For cultural and economic reasons, the birth of boys in these countries is more desirable for parents, which leads to a large number of abortions due to sexual selectivity. For this reason, both China and India have even passed laws prohibiting the determination of the sex of a child before birth using ultrasound or any other method. However, the bans show little effectiveness, since illegally such services are available to any family.

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 ... >>

The first polymer solar power plant 27.06.2009

You can talk for a long time about the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy sources, but until there is a real power plant, all this talk remains in a fog of economic uncertainty.

Engineers at the Danish National Laboratory Riese, which deals with sustainable energy issues, decided to move from words to deeds. With the help of Mecoprint, they printed rolls of chips for polymer solar cells, Gaia Solar, a company specializing in the manufacture of silicon solar power plants, ordered the installation of organic batteries on platforms capable of tracking the movement of the Sun, and eventually included the constructed power plant in the grid .

And then they calculated how much one watt of installed power costs (that is, the unit costs for manufacturing and operation) of such a station. In June 2008, it cost 4500 euros. By January 2009, thanks to organizational and technical efforts, the price fell to 22 euros, in March - to 15 euros, and by the end of 2009 it is expected to reach 4-5 euros.

Of course, it's still a lot. But if you want to be energy independent, you can go to the expense, especially since this technology can be exported to other countries.
