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 ... >>

Revealed the secret of gait dinosaurs 09.03.2022

Scientists from the University of Liverpool analyzed the footprints of sauropod dinosaurs in a geological formation in Arkansas. It turned out that huge dinosaurs, such as diplodocus, had a diagonal gait. This is how a modern hippopotamus moves.

An analysis of fossilized dinosaur footprints in the De Queen Formation in Arkansas, USA, showed that sauropods had a diagonal gait. This means that the paws, located diagonally from each other, took a step at about the same time. That is, each step of the front leg went in tandem with the back leg on the opposite side, or these movements were very close. A similar gait is observed in living hippos and no one else on Earth.

Sauropods were among the largest animals that ever lived on our planet. Some of them weighed as much as 14 African elephants. These herbivorous dinosaurs lived on Earth between 200 and 66 million years ago.

"These huge dinosaurs used a diagonal gait to keep their powerful bodies in balance," says Jens Lallensack of the University of Liverpool.

It used to be thought that sauropods walked like modern elephants. These animals use the so-called "longitudinal" gait for movement, when two limbs on one side of the body move forward one after the other. The right front foot takes a step, then the right back foot takes a step, then the left front foot, then the left back foot, and so on.

To find out, scientists analyzed the location of the fossilized footprints of dinosaurs. This position changes when any animal walks or changes to an easy run. Similar changes in movement can be noticed if there are traces that are located on the same line.

As a result, scientists found that the gait of sauropods was different from the movement of all living animals, and is most similar to the movement of a hippopotamus. While walking, the front paw of the sauropod always touched the ground before the diagonal paw was lifted.
