How much water does a plant need?

In the spring, during the formation and growth of leaves, the tree needs about 500 liters of water per day. This water through the root system rises through the vessels of plants and gets to each leaf and bud. At night and in winter, water with nutrients dissolved in it moves in the opposite direction - from the branches to the roots, where nutrients are deposited.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of ​​controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog ​​owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Announcement of the Bluetooth 5 standard 22.06.2016

The Bluetooth industry group SIG has officially announced a new wireless data standard, Bluetooth 5. Compared to the current version of Bluetooth 4.2, it provides double the speed, four times the range and is able to expand the wireless capacity by 800%, according to a press release released the day before. networks.

These advantages, as well as lower power consumption compared to Wi-Fi, will make Bluetooth 5 an attractive solution in the field of the Internet of things (IoT), the developers say. Real will be the use of Bluetooth to connect devices that are not only in one room, but in the whole apartment or building, and even outdoors.

In addition, Bluetooth 5 opens up new possibilities for the use of special wireless "beacons" in the organization of such services as, for example, navigation in the territories of airports, shopping centers, etc. or monitoring of inventory in warehouses. Fundamental in Bluetooth 5 is the concept that implies a departure from the old principle, when the connection was established by a certain application.

The start of mass deliveries of electronics with Bluetooth 5 support is expected in late 2016 - early 2017. Meanwhile, analysts predict that, thanks to the new standard, over a third of all IoT gadgets will be equipped with Bluetooth modules by 2020. Now, according to Bluetooth SIG CEO Mark Powell, there are about 8,2 billion devices in operation that can transmit data via Bluetooth. At the same time, the Bluetooth SIG organization already includes more than 30 companies using this wireless communication protocol in their products.
