In which Muslim nation do men cover their faces, but women do not?

The Tuareg, who live in the desert regions of Northwest Africa, are Muslim by religion, but retain many pre-Islamic customs. Tuareg women walk with an open face, and the traditional dress of men includes a bandage that leaves only the eyes open.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where are the three adjacent lakes that periodically change color?

At the top of the Indonesian volcano Kelimutu are three lakes, each of which periodically changes color from turquoise to green, red and black. Such transformations are caused by volcanic gases that react with various minerals dissolved in water, thereby changing the color of the lakes.

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 ... >>

Wind turbine efficiency increased 08.06.2014

By changing the design of the blades, General Electric engineers were able to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.

The work was carried out by General Electric researchers as part of a $2 million renewable energy project. GE's way to improve the efficiency of old wind turbines has proven effective and low cost.

A serious problem with modern wind farms is that they are not efficient enough - to replace one coal-fired thermal power plant, it is necessary to build a wind farm consisting of thousands of turbines occupying a large area. According to experts, the efficiency of wind turbines depends on the size of the blades and the height at which the rotor is located. The larger the rotor and the higher it is, the more efficient the windmill is. For this reason, in recent years, the height of wind turbines has been increased from an average of 15,2 m to 152 m.

General Electric engineers proposed cutting a 27-meter blade in half and inserting a 7-meter part into it, the contours of which exactly match the contour of the original blade. According to the company, this operation on the blades increases the performance of the wind turbine by 20% when operating with low wind speeds.

The modified blades have surpassed International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards in both fatigue failure tests (6 million cycles completed) and static tests.
