The first king of which country was a Russian emigrant?

Boris Skosyrev, an adventurer born in the Russian Empire, arrived in Andorra in 1934 and proposed a reform plan to the General Council. Andorra was proclaimed a kingdom, and the newly-minted king Boris I began to issue progressive decrees for his time and prepared a draft constitution. However, his intentions to make Andorra a gambling zone, following the example of Monaco, displeased the Bishop of Urgell, co-ruler of Andorra from Spain. Boris declared war on the bishop, and after less than two weeks of ascension to the throne, he was arrested by five Spanish guards. He was tried and sentenced to only one year in prison for illegally crossing the border, as he did not violate any other laws by his actions.

Why was President John F. Kennedy highly respected in the US military?

John F. Kennedy, due to poor health, was declared unfit for military service by doctors, but, using the influence of his father (at that time ambassador to Great Britain), in 1941 he entered the Navy and fought against the Japanese as the commander of a torpedo boat.

In 1945, in one of the battles, the boat was sunk, the wounded John F. Kennedy escaped with his team on a Pacific island. In connection with the injury, he had to undergo a surgical operation on the spine in 1956.

John F. Kennedy's combat path led to the great respect that he later enjoyed in the US military.

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 ... >>

Space flights cause eye problems 17.12.2019

Specialists at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center have for many years encountered complaints of blurred vision and headaches from astronauts who have been on long expeditions to the ISS. It was not possible for doctors to understand the mechanism and cause of the problems until 2019.

In another scientific work, the doctors decided to gather a group of volunteers and simulate for them the conditions in which astronauts are in orbit. Primarily, this meant spending several weeks lying on an angled bed, but without simulating elevated carbon dioxide levels that are characteristic of the international space station, as well as a ban on changing the position of the head and relaxing the body for a while, the results could not be obtained.

When the conditions of the experiment were adjusted, the doctors were able to compare the condition of 11 volunteers who were observed for a month with the condition of 20 astronauts who visited the ISS from 2012 to 2018 inclusive. It turned out that in all the people studied, the thickness of the retina increased, and in the astronauts, in addition, a change in the structure of the choroid of the eye was noted, which was not observed in the control group on Earth.

The results of the work should help scientists understand the mechanism and causes of changes in the eyes during their stay in space. At the moment, experts intend to continue working and find out what can lead to such changes in the body. The search for an answer to this question should help protect astronauts in the future, and especially in long-term expeditions to the Moon and Mars.
