Dagger Knot. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

In foreign practice of rigging dagger knot is considered one of the best knots for tying two large diameter plant cables. It is not very complex in its layout and is quite compact when tightened.

It is most convenient to tie it if you first lay the running end of the cable in the form of the number "8" on top of the root end. After that, thread the elongated running end of the second cable into the loops, passing under the middle intersection of the figure eight, and bring it out over the second intersection of the first cable. Next, the running end of the second cable must be passed under the root end of the first cable and inserted into the figure-eight loop, as indicated by the arrow in the diagram in Fig. thirty.

When the knot is tightened, the two running ends of both cables stick out in different directions. The dagger knot is easy to untie if one of the extreme loops is loosened.

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 ... >>

Micron P400m Solid State Drives for Servers and Storage 01.02.2013

Micron Technology today introduced a new generation of SSDs for servers and storage. Given the scope, an important feature of the new SSDs, designated Micron P400m, the manufacturer calls high reliability. Available in 100, 200 and 400 GB models.

The drives use 25nm MLC NAND flash memory. The key to high reliability and maintaining high performance during operation is the use of proprietary XPERT technology (Extended Performance and Enhanced Reliability Technology), which optimizes the operation of the controller and memory using algorithms embedded in the "firmware" and hardware improvements. The manufacturer estimates that the drives have a write life of 1,75 PB for the 100 GB model, 3,5 PB for the 200 GB model, and 7,0 PB for the 400 GB model. This is approximately five years, provided that the entire volume is recorded ten times daily.

In terms of speed, the 100GB model shows write speeds of up to 210MB/s and read speeds of 350MB/s. For 200 and 400 GB drives, these figures are 350 and 300 MB / s. Performance on read operations in the case of a 100 GB model is 50 IOPS, on write operations - 000 IOPS. In the case of models with a capacity of 14 and 000 GB, the performance on read operations reaches 200 IOPS, on write operations - 400 and 55 IOPS.

2,5" drives are 7mm thick. They are equipped with a SATA 6 Gb / s interface.
