"Boa constrictor" is the Latin zoological name for the boa constrictor. Snakes such as the boa constrictor, python, and anaconda are known to kill their prey by squeezing it with three loops of their body.

Node "constrictor" is one of the most tightly tightened knots. At the same time, it is considered one of the most difficult knots to untie. As a rule, it is not even untied, it serves once. "constrictor" is well tightened if it is tied to round objects that do not have sharp corners; in this case it is indispensable.

Rice. 50. "Constrictor"

This is a very useful and important node for our life. With it, you can, for example, tie a bag very tightly, the valve of a soccer ball chamber, compress a leaking rubber hose, tighten a rolled carpet, a bag, a wadded blanket, tie a bully's hand; put a tourniquet on the wounded limb and much more. With the help of this amazing knot, you can lift the carcass of a dead bear without damaging its skin. To do this, you need to take a draek or a short, strong stick, put it into the mouth of the beast, behind its fangs, and tie the mouth with the stick with a "constrictor". Attach its ends to a hook or cargo pendant.

Professional riggers use a "constrictor" to place temporary marks on the steel cable where it needs to be cut. In this way, they prevent the cable from self-unwinding until permanent wire marks are applied.

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 ... >>

Rosemary aroma improves memory 06.05.2017

British scientists from Northumbria University believe that the smell of rosemary essential oil has a beneficial effect on memory.

Scientists set up a series of experiments in which they offered participants several memory tests. The tests were carried out in a room with the smell of rosemary, as well as without it. As it turned out, those participants who were exposed to the scent of rosemary performed better than those who were tested without it.

Researchers believe that the aroma of rosemary has a positive effect on the memory of both adults and children. In this case, the individual effect of a specific aroma should be taken into account.
