How did the Aztecs replace human meat in ritual soup after the ban on cannibalism?

The main ingredients of Mexican posole soup are specially processed corn and meat. Among the Aztecs and other local tribes, this soup was ritual, and the meat in it was human. After the Spanish conquest and the prohibition of cannibalism, the Indians replaced it with pork due to the rather similar taste.

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 ... >>

Lattice Semiconductor Embedded Vision Board 15.05.2017

Lattice Semiconductor has introduced a developer kit called the Embedded Vision Development Kit. It is said to be the first of its kind embedded vision developer kit optimized for mobile applications. The manufacturer calls the characteristic features of the set flexibility, low cost and low power consumption.

Flexibility is provided by a modular architecture that includes Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Standard Application Arrays (ASSPs), and Programmable Standard Application Arrays (pASSPs).

The manufacturer also considers the small size and support for two cameras to be the advantages of the kit. MIPI CSI-2 cameras are located on the CrossLink input board, which is connected to the ECP5 base board. The latter performs signal processing by the IP core of the image signal processor developed by Helion Vision. In addition, the ECP5 supports input from external image sources. Finally, the third board, a Sil1136-based output board, adds an HDMI output to the system configuration.

The Embedded Vision Development Kit can be used to build systems for industrial, automotive and consumer applications, Lattice says. In particular, the list of applications includes robots, drones, driver assistance systems, augmented and virtual reality devices. The kits are already available for order.
