Where does water boil faster?

The Celsius scale is based on 2 points: 0° is the freezing point of water, 100° is the boiling point. However, all this is true for conditions at sea level, at a standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg. Art. The lower this pressure, the lower the boiling point of water. In the high-mountain capitals of Lhasa (Tibet) and La Paz (Bolivia), at an altitude of 4000 m above sea level, water boils already at a temperature of 87 ° C, and on the shores of the Dead Sea (343 m below sea level) - at 101 ° C.

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 ... >>

ASRock X99M-Killer USB 3.1 Motherboard 13.04.2015

The range of ASRock motherboards has been replenished with the X99M-Killer USB 3.1 model, made in the microATX form factor.

The novelty, built on the Intel X99 Express chipset, is designed to create high-performance desktop systems. It is allowed to install Haswell-E chips in LGA 2011-v3 version: these are Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K products with an unlocked multiplier. There are four slots for DDR4 RAM modules.

The motherboard has two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots and one PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot. An Ultra M.2 connector is provided for the solid state module. Up to ten Serial ATA 3.0 ports can be used to connect drives.

The board is equipped with two high-speed USB 3.1 ports with a bandwidth of up to 10 Gb / s, which is twice as much as USB 3.0. The equipment includes a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet network controller and the Purity Sound 2 audio system, which provides cleaner sound with minimal distortion and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

On the connector panel, in addition to the USB 3.1 ports, there are four USB 3.0 ports, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, a PS / 2 jack for a mouse or keyboard, and a set of audio connectors.
