Tourist tips

Let's list some edible plants. If you cannot find any of the plants described here, use the standard edibility test. Be careful: although one part of the plant is edible, the other part can be poisonous. Check leaves, stems, roots, etc. separately.

1. Currant and gooseberry

Dense shrub. Grows in forest, undergrowth and uncultivated lands. Serrated leaves are similar in shape to maple. Flowers are small, five-petalled. Their color varies from green-white to purple. The berries are red, purple-black or yellow. Currants are used raw, gooseberries are boiled.

2. Wild onion

Long grass-like leaves. At the top of the stem, an inflorescence of six-petalled pale purple, pink or white flowers blooms. Easily recognized by smell. An edible bulb can be at a depth of up to 25 cm.

3. Thistle

The stems are prickly and ribbed. Leaves are lanceolate, prickly. The flowers are purple. Thorns are removed from young leaves, after which the leaves are boiled. The tender shoots are peeled and eaten raw or boiled. The roots of young plants that do not have a stem are boiled. You can also eat a nut, which is located at the base of the flower head.

4. Clover

Grows abundantly in grassy areas. Leaves are three-petalled. The small flowers, ranging in color from white to greenish-cream or shades of red, form dense spherical heads. The leaves are best cooked.

5. Wild rhubarb

It grows in grassy areas from southern Europe to China. It resembles cultivated rhubarb, but has rough and slashed leaves. It eats only the boiled stem, the rest of the plant is dangerous to health.

6. Violets

Grow in moist forests. The wrinkled, heart-shaped leaves are veined. Flowers purple, yellow or white. The boiled young leaves are eaten.

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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Discovery of waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere 25.07.2023

During nearly half of Jupiter's magnetosphere boundary crossings, the Juno space station encounters waves that cause the planet's magnetic field to interact with the solar wind, according to a new study. This phenomenon was previously detected on Earth and Saturn, but was first recorded on Jupiter.

Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of all the planets in the solar system, surpassing the Sun by almost 15 times. Its magnetic field accelerates charged particles that enter the magnetosphere from the solar wind or are ejected by the moon Io. This is manifested in the bright auroras and unique dawn storms that the Juno space station has been studying for more than seven years. With the help of this station, astronomers from the University of Texas at San Antonio, together with colleagues, discovered a hitherto unknown phenomenon on Jupiter - Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities.

Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities occur at the boundary of two media with different velocities and directions, causing eddies. These wave structures can be observed on the surface of the water during strong winds, in the atmosphere of the Sun, and in the magnetospheres of the Earth and Saturn when they collide with streams of charged particles from the Sun.

However, waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere were discovered for the first time. Their presence was confirmed by the analysis of data on the flow of charged particles around Jupiter, received from the Juno, as well as plasma measurements during the station's passage through the planet's magnetopause - the boundary separating the magnetosphere and the environment.

Planetary scientists have found that in 25 out of 62 magnetopause crossings, the conditions around Juno met the requirements for the occurrence of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. Scientists suggest that the resulting waves contribute to the transfer of solar wind particles deep into the planet's magnetosphere, influencing the local structure of the magnetic field and other processes. The researchers hope their study will help better understand Jupiter's magnetic field and how it interacts with space weather.
