Gaff knot. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

The name itself already indicates that gaff knot - from the family of marine knots. In our time, it has already been forgotten, apparently because the need for it has disappeared. You can always use it in everyday life when it becomes necessary to quickly attach the cable to some cylindrical object.

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 ... >>

Mini computer Shuttle XPC DA320 26.01.2021

Shuttle introduced the XPC DA320 computer with support for AM4 hybrid chips. In the assortment of Taiwanese, this is the first mini-PC on the AMD platform in eight years. The device is made in a case with dimensions of 190(L) x 165(W) x 43(H) mm and built on a motherboard with A320 logic.

Shuttle XPC DA320 is compatible with Ryzen/Athlon hybrid chips based on Zen and Zen+ microarchitecture. Ryzen 4000G APUs released last year are not supported. The computer supports two SO-DIMM DDR4 memory modules (maximum 32 GB), a 2,5-inch SATA 6 Gb / s drive and an M.2 SSD. An M.2 connector for the wireless module is also available on the board.

The system equipment includes two gigabit network interfaces on Realtek RTL8111H controllers, six USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, a pair of USB 2.0, two 3,5 mm audio jacks powered by the Realtek ALC662 chip, an SD card reader slot, DisplayPort 1.4 (x2) and HDMI 2.0 video outputs , as well as two serial ports. To power the device, an external adapter with a nominal value of 120 W is used.

The price of the Shuttle XPC DA320 barebone system is 198 euros.
