Voronets red

The Latin name Actaea is of Greek origin, one of the names for elderberry.

Perennial herbaceous, rhizomatous plant. The rhizome is thick, shortened. The stems are annual, herbaceous, up to 70 cm tall, covered with brown scales at the base, covered with short, curly hairs in the upper part. The whole plant has an unpleasant smell (fortunately, because the whole plant is poisonous).

The leaves are light green, thrice ternate-pinnate, with ovate-lanceolate and pointed leaflets (the terminal leaflet at the base is usually wedge-shaped), incised at the edges and sawtoothed.

The flowers are small, white, collected in an oval short brush, which, when fruiting, is extended into a cylindrical one. Petals-nectaries are slightly elongated, ovate or elliptical, at the base narrowed into a nail. Voronets blooms in June - early July.

In appearance, the red-fruited crow is very similar to the spike-shaped crow, but differs from it, first of all, in the color of the fruit, slightly smaller berries, as well as the petals rounded at the top and the lighter color of the leaves.

The fruit is an oblong berry-like juicy multi-seeded leaflet of red, rarely white. Fruiting is abundant, in August - early September. The berries are poisonous and very bitter.

In the wild, it inhabits the north of the European part and the entire eastern part of Russia. Found in Mongolia and North America.

The red-fruited crow grows in coniferous and mixed forests, in the Far East, in Siberia.

The plant has been little studied, it is only known that the rhizomes with roots and leaves contain alkaloids. Saponins, alkaloids 0,031-0,041% were found in the aerial part, vitamin C in the leaves.

Inedible, poisonous plant.

Voronets red

According to some reports, the fruits and seeds contain substances that have a strong local irritant and general narcotic effect that affects the central nervous system. In the past, cohosh roots were used in folk medicine for asthma and goiter. Currently, its use is limited in homeopathy for rheumatism and muscle inflammation.

All parts of the plant are poisonous. The fruits are the most toxic. Eating just two berries for a child can end tragically. But accidental poisoning with berries is hardly possible, the plant has an unpleasant odor, and the berries are very bitter. Signs of poisoning with the berries of the red crow - nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate, severe upset of the gastrointestinal tract.

Voronets krasnoplodny is a medicinal plant used only in folk medicine. Crow grass, rhizomes with roots and berries are harvested. In the old days, wool dye was boiled from the ripe fruits of the crow. The young leaves and twigs of the black cohosh give off a red dye. Insecticide (a means of combating harmful insects) in the population of Eastern Siberia.

Voronets red-fruited forms a well-shaped bush, especially decorative during the fruiting period, when bright red fruits ripen. Fruiting is plentiful, mass self-seeding is formed. The plant is cold-resistant, does not get sick, propagated by seeds and division of the bush in April-May.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

DisplavPort Switches with HDMI/DVI Level Converters 16.03.2008

Texas Instruments has unveiled three compact devices for the DisplavPort digital video interface standard, freely distributed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).

These chips provide communication between personal computers and video displays. With low power consumption, they offer data rates up to 2,7Gbps, helping to match the speeds of the DisplavPort standard and the HDMI multimedia interface commonly used to connect desktops, laptops, and docking stations to DLP projectors, computer monitors, and digital TVs.

The SN75DP122, SN75DP128, and SN75DP129 have one dual-mode DisplayPort signal input and variable outputs to connect to a wide range of devices. Dual mode refers to the ability of a graphics processing unit (GPU) to transmit both DisplayPort and HDMI/DVI signals over a DisplayPort signal bus while supporting the necessary control signals.

The SN75DP129 converter has one dual-mode DisplayPort input and one differential TMDS output. This feature allows the user to connect a computer with DisplayPort output to monitors equipped with DVI inputs. The SN75DP128 is a high quality switcher with one DisplayPort input and one or two DisplayPort outputs. This device can be used when connecting to docking stations.

The SN75DP122 has one DisplayPort input combined with a DisplayPort output or a level-converted TMDS output for flexible connection to a monitor or TV. The SN75DP122 and SN75DP128 are available in a 56-pin QFN package, the SN75DP129 are available in a 36-pin QFN package.
