Who ranks second after the US in terms of revenue from agricultural exports?

The Netherlands ranks 134th in the world in terms of area and 63rd in terms of population, but is the world's second largest exporter of agricultural products after the United States in terms of revenue. At the same time, 4% of the total number of employed people are employed in the agro-industrial complex of the country.

What causes goose bumps?

When hypothermia closes the pores of the skin, the skin tightens. In this case, the heat transfer of the skin decreases. The contraction of the skin is carried out by very small muscles, while the skin becomes rough, like a goose.

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 ... >>

Bristlecone 72 qubit quantum processor 14.03.2018

The division of Google, which develops a quantum computer, presented the intermediate result of its work. This is a Bristlecone quantum processor.

The Bristlecone processor configuration includes 72 qubits, which are combined into a rectangular array. The processor is designed for practical evaluation of the approaches chosen for the implementation of quantum computing. It is an enlarged version of the previously manufactured 9-qubit processor.

According to the developers, the most important task is to maintain low error rates that accompany the operation of quantum gates and read circuits, while increasing the number of qubits. The critical moment is considered to be an increase in the number of qubits and connections between them (depth) to a level where a quantum processor will outperform a traditional supercomputer in performance. According to Google, superiority can already be achieved with 49 qubits, a chain depth of more than 40, and an error of less than 0,5% when working with two qubits. On the aforementioned 9-qubit linear processor, the error was 0,6%.

Project participants expressed "cautious optimism" that superiority could already be demonstrated using the Bristlecone.
