Who and where conducted partisan activity until 1974, not knowing about the end of the Second World War?

In 1944, junior lieutenant of the Japanese army Onoda Hiroo was ordered to lead a partisan detachment on the Philippine island of Lubang. Having lost his soldiers in battle, Onoda managed to survive and fled into the jungle. In 1974, he was found on the same island where he had until now carried out guerrilla activities, killing about 30 Filipinos. Not believing in the end of the war, the lieutenant refused to lay down his arms. And only when the direct commander of Onoda arrived on the island and ordered to surrender, he left the jungle, recognizing the defeat of Japan.

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 ... >>

Cage on a needle 09.06.2015

Yogi cell technology continues to evolve. Its essence is to place a living cell on a nanoneedle mattress and introduce the necessary substances into it.

Created by researchers from King's College London and the Houston Methodist Research Institute, nanoneedle mattresses can easily pierce the membrane of both the cell itself and its nucleus, but do no harm to it. And in this mattress, like in a sponge, the nucleic acids required for reprogramming the cell are located. For example, to transform a muscle cell into a blood vessel cell.

The use of such nanomattresses on a mouse muscle showed that the transformation is going well: seven days after the operation, seven times more vessels were formed in it than normal, and the effect remained noticeable for another week.

Growing blood vessels inside the body from its own cells is an important task; in this way, it is possible to facilitate the growth of transplanted tissue, whether donor or tissue-engineered. The needles themselves are made of safe siloxane, which disintegrates in the body almost without a trace in a few days, leaving only a little orthosilicic acid.

“We have made a leap forward: by penetrating the inside of the cell with needles, we can now carry out their transformation with efficiency unattainable before,” says Ennio Tashiotti, a participant in the work.
