If the faucet drips, and changing the rubber gasket does not eliminate the defect, the surface of the valve seat is most likely damaged. It must be sanded to remove scratches and burrs. To do this, it is necessary to make an edit (see Fig.) It consists of a collar 1 with a thread at the end of a wooden insert 3, two nuts 4, a disk of sandpaper 5 and two washers 6.

Before grinding, turn off the water with the main valve (you will find it in the bathroom or toilet), open the leaky faucet valve by 3 ... 5 turns and unscrew the faucet box from the mixer with an adjustable wrench. Dry the faucet cavity with a rag and insert the dressing. Holding it with one hand, with the other hand turn the knob left and right. The quality of work is checked by lighting the crane with a flashlight or matches. It is dangerous to use lamps connected to the mains.

Sand until cracks and cavities are eliminated.

Then inspect the valve. Carefully cut off the bead along the edge of the rubber gasket with scissors. Change the sealing ring on the faucet box and wrap the faucet.

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 ... >>

People with no sense of smell can also smell. 21.01.2022

Scientists have found that people who lack olfactory bulbs can also smell. Perhaps alternative centers of smell are being formed in their brains.

The ability to perceive smells depends on how well the olfactory information transmission system works - from sensory neurons in the nose through the olfactory nerves to the olfactory bulbs in the brain. Activation of small nerve structures within the olfactory bulbs, called glomeruli, causes the sensation of smell.

Until recently, it was believed that people who, due to congenital pathology, lack olfactory bulbs, suffer from anosmia - they cannot smell.

Scientists led by Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel found that people without olfactory bulbs can still detect and identify the same odors as everyone else.

Researchers first stumbled upon two women who could smell despite the absence of olfactory bulbs while reviewing MRI results from volunteers taking a smell test.

The scientists then analyzed 1113 MRI scans published as part of the Human Connectome project to create a "network map" of anatomical and functional connections in a healthy human brain, implemented by the US National Institutes of Health since 2009. And they found three more young women who did not have clear olfactory bulbs, but they could smell. Not a single male lacking olfactory bulbs has been identified.

A detailed examination of the brains of these women, which included conventional and diffuse MRI, ultra-high-definition XNUMXD imaging, and voxel morphometry, revealed no differences from the brains of ordinary people, in addition to the absence of olfactory bulbs.

Three women agreed to be tested for their sense of smell as part of a group that included 140 women of the same age with a normally developed olfactory system. Participants were asked to smell ten different scents and then describe their scent using a choice of eleven descriptive words.
