Who was featured on the first Apple logo?

The very first Apple logo depicted Sir Isaac Newton and an apple tree from which an apple was about to fall on his head. This emblem was not on the case of the Apple I computer, only in the instructions for it. The overall composition of the logo was heavily overloaded with details, so a year later it was replaced by the familiar bitten fruit.

What is the difference between a broker, a dealer, a broker?

A broker is an intermediary in exchange transactions. Brokers act on behalf of their clients and at their expense, receiving remuneration in the form of commissions when concluding a transaction.

A dealer, unlike a broker, carries out intermediary trading operations on his own behalf and at his own expense. A broker is a person who is constantly and professionally engaged in mediation in the purchase and sale of goods, securities, etc.

The broker receives remuneration from each of the parties involved in the transaction, in an amount depending on the amount of the transaction, stock brokers are the staff of the exchange. They trade in the commodity sections and record the verbal consent of the seller and buyer brokers to conclude the transaction.

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 ... >>

Worms against aging 06.01.2020

Scientists from the MDI Laboratory, together with scientists from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Nanjing, have discovered synergistic cellular mechanisms that increase lifespan by six times in C. elegans nematodes, which are often used as model organisms in aging research.

Such a life expectancy in worms corresponds to a human life expectancy of 400-500 years.

The study is based on the discovery of two major pathways that drive aging C. elegans, which are popular model organisms in aging research due to their many genes in common with humans, and because of their short lifespan of three to four weeks, allowing researchers to quickly assess the impact of both genetic and environmental factors on life expectancy.

The study used organisms with a double mutation: the insulin signaling pathways and TOR complexes were changed. Altering insulin signaling alone gives a 100% increase in lifespan in nematodes. A separate change to TOR is 30 percent. It was logical to assume that their combined change would give a 130% increase, but instead life expectancy increased by 500%.

The discovery of a synergistic effect in the future will allow the use of combination therapy to prolong life in the same way that various combination therapies are currently used to treat cancer or AIDS. It could also explain why scientists couldn't find a single gene responsible for longevity.
