Why does the city of Baden-Baden have such a double name?

The German city of Baden-Baden was called simply Baden until the end of the 18th century. When a resort was set up in this place, vacationers, to distinguish it from the Austrian and Swiss Baden, began to call it Baden in Baden, which means Baden in the Baden region, and for ease of pronunciation, the preposition in was discarded. The dual name was officially approved in 1931.

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 ... >>

LCD and plasma: no demand, prices will fall sharply 29.08.2006

Demand for flat-panel TVs has been lower than expected, forcing manufacturers to cut prices in hopes of clearing stock as the school year begins. According to the latest data, between January and May, the average price of a flat-panel TV dropped by 12%.

Chris Connery, DisplaySearch TV Market Analyst, said: "Prices are low and will go down." The oversaturation of the market was due to the fact that full of optimism TV manufacturers have overestimated demand, analysts say.

Last week, LG.Philips LCD reported lower-than-expected earnings and a surplus of finished goods. LG.Philips LCD is a leading manufacturer of TV screens, accounting for more than half of a TV's cost. Philips Electronics this week reported a 69% drop in quarterly profit due to lack of demand.
