The award sheet has been preserved, according to which Hitler was presented to the medal "For Military Merit" for the accomplishment of a feat. True, the database "Feat of the People" reports that the medal "For Courage" was awarded to Semyon Konstantinovich Gitlev - the surname was accidentally or intentionally changed, it is not known.

How did units of measurement come about?

Long before standard units of measure were established, man measured one thing by comparing it with another. It was most convenient to measure with your own body. For example, if a person wanted to measure the distance from his house to a neighboring one, he did it in steps.

The unit of measure was the stride length. To measure a room, a person put one foot in front of the other in turn. The distance was measured by the length of the foot (in English "foot"). Arms, hands and fingers were used to measure things like fabrics or clothes.

The units of measurement were the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the fingers of the outstretched hand, the distance from the tips of the fingers to the elbow, the distance from the thumb to the little finger in the splayed state, the width of the palm, the width of the thumb. The problem was that these sizes are different for everyone. The legs, arms, fingers of one person are shorter or longer than those of another. Therefore, it became necessary to establish standard units of measurement. And in the Middle Ages, the community of merchants agreed on units of measurement.

Later, such standards began to be approved by governments. There is currently an international agreement on standard units of measurement. Governments of different states agreed to use the same measures. Many governments have special bodies responsible for standards. In 1791, the metric system of measurement was invented in France, which is now in use in many countries. The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom are also gradually adopting the metric system.

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 ... >>

Renoir 7nm Desktop APUs - Ryzen 4000G, PRO 4000G and Athlon PRO 3000G 22.07.2020

AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 4000G APUs for the AM4 desktop platform, sister to the well-established 7nm Ryzen 4000-series mobile chips. They are intended for the OEM segment and will not be available in retail stores, but in the future AMD promises to release some models of new APUs for the DIY market (with boards based on AMD 400 and 500 series chipsets).

The Renoir desktop APUs use the same 7nm die as their mobile cousins, with eight Zen 2 physical cores, 8MB of L3 cache, and eight Compute Units (CU) graphics on the improved Vega architecture. But if mobile Renoirs run into a 35-watt TDP, then desktop counterparts raise the bar to 65 watts, operate at higher frequencies and, therefore, their performance level is higher.

Renoir desktop APUs officially support DDR4-3200 RAM (while AMD used faster DDR4-3600 memory in performance tests), the x86-core frequency reaches 4,4 GHz in the case of the flagship Ryzen 7 4700G model, and the integrated GPU runs at 1700- 2100 MHz depending on the model.

Also introduced are the Ryzen Pro 4000 and Athlon Pro 3000 APUs for business-class ready-made computers. They are related to consumer models (the characteristics are completely identical), but at the same time they have advanced support and security technologies (full encryption of RAM and AMD Pro feature set).
