Why in one of the frames of Lost in Translation can the Japanese woman be considered dead?

The Japanese kimono should be worn so that the left half is higher than the right. On the contrary, they wrap a kimono only when a person is buried. In Lost in Translation, when Bob first meets Charlotte in the elevator, a Japanese woman is wearing the "funeral" version of the kimono. It is most likely that this is not a mistake of the directors, who were consulted by real Japanese, but of the film editors, who for some reason mirrored this frame.

Where do the snakes winter?

Thousands of American prairie rattlesnakes climb into the caves and spend the cold season there. These poisonous creatures reach two meters in length and live in the warm climate of the southern United States and Mexico. Snakes of the middle belt hibernate, hiding in secluded places and gathering in large groups, and in one winter hut you can find snakes of different types, both poisonous and non-poisonous.

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 ... >>

Biological clock switch 12.06.2022

Experts from the Netherlands and Japan have been able to create a light-controlled kinase inhibitor switch that affects the biological clock.

All cells in the body have their own clock, which can be tracked by fluctuations in the production and breakdown of proteins. If these rhythms are disrupted, a person can get sick. In addition, the change of time zones also negatively affects the body.

However, biologist Tsuyoshi Hirota, assistant professor at the Institute, has developed a kinase inhibitor, longdaysin, that can slow down circadian rhythms by up to 48 hours. The development received a switch that activates and deactivates connections.

The new device can shift the biological clock and equalize the circadian rhythms in the body.

Scientists believe that the tested and improved version of the device will be used in the treatment of patients in serious condition.
