Treatment of open wounds. Travel Tips
Directory / Tourist tips
Comments on the article
The edges open wound (along its circumference), treat with a solution of potassium permanganate or iodine and bandage with aseptic material (sterile bandage, first aid package). In the absence of sterile material, pass a clean piece of cloth over an open flame several times, then apply iodine to the place of the dressing that will be in contact with the wound.
For severe bleeding, apply harness from improvised materials (see figure).
Tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops. Every 20-30 minutes, relax for a few seconds to drain the blood, and tighten again. In total, keep tightened for no more than 1,5 hours. Keep the injured limb elevated.

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
New method for creating powerful batteries
08.05.2024
With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>
Alcohol content of warm beer
07.05.2024
Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
Random news from the Archive flying snail
17.03.2012
The small land snail Tornatellides boeningi, feeding on the leaves of trees on one of the Japanese islands, spreads through the air. The birds pecking at her help her in this.
Shinichiro Wada, a graduate student in the Department of Zoology at Tohoku University, fed snails to birds and found that about 15% of mollusks pass through the bird's intestinal tract undigested. They come out with droppings in half an hour, or even in two hours, during which time the bird often manages to fly quite far.
Apparently, the swallowed snail hides entirely in the shell for the duration of the flight and closes the shell opening with a special cap and mucous plug, as many of its relatives do under adverse conditions.
