What purpose do wisdom teeth serve?

In our time, it can be argued with good reason that the only purpose that wisdom teeth serve is to provide income to dentists who remove them.

In all other respects, these teeth are completely useless for a modern person. However, nature rarely supplies its creations with unnecessary organs, and wisdom teeth are no exception to this rule.

Primitive man ate a very solid food, in comparison with which dried meat differs little from mashed potatoes. Additional molars (molars), now known as wisdom teeth, made it much easier for our ancestors to chew such food.

Over the course of evolution, the human skull has changed, the protruding jaws have shifted back and become shorter, leaving no room for wisdom teeth (also known as third molars). The jaws of many modern people are simply unable to accommodate these four now completely redundant teeth.

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 ... >>

Monitor Iiyama ProLite X3291HS 14.12.2015

Iiyama has expanded its family of monitors with the ProLite X3291HS model, which has a diagonal of 31,5 inches: sales of new items will start in the near future.

The novelty is made on the AH-IPS matrix. The resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which corresponds to the Full HD format. Response time - 5 ms.

The panel has a brightness of 250 cd / m2, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 (dynamic contrast ratio reaches 12:000). The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are 000 degrees.

Blue Light Reducer technology reduces blue light intensity. This reduces the load on the visual apparatus and reduces eye fatigue. In addition, the panel boasts no flicker.

To connect signal sources, an analog D-Sub connector, digital DVI and HDMI interfaces are provided. There are 3-watt stereo speakers. Dimensions are 737,5 x 240 x 523,5 mm, weight - 7 kg.

It will be possible to buy a novelty at an estimated price of $ 320.
