Tourist tips

On sailing ships, foxes were called additional sails, which were placed on each side of the direct sails on special spar trees - fox spirits. With this knot, the fox was laced with pins to the fox-rail.

Although now fox knot no longer used in the navy, it can be used to attach a cable to a round spar.

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 ... >>

Grasshopper oil 21.10.2015

Eating insects is deeply alien to Europeans. However, five years ago in Holland there were many companies that grow insects for food. They do not offer the consumer crickets or worms, but extract proteins from them, which are used as food additives. The benefit is that insects consume much less food per unit of useful weight and pollute the environment less than the same cows.

What about insect oil? Wageningen University researcher Dr. Daylan Tsomba-Sosa is doing just that. Insect oil is very useful, because it is rich in omega-XNUMX fatty acids, which are not produced in mammals. It is assumed that the oil obtained from it will go into ice cream, pastries or cream.

“Fat extracted from some insects, such as a grasshopper or a shiny lion fly, has a pleasant fruity aroma. But a cockroach smells disgusting, you can’t use its fat for food, but it will be useful for making lubricants. So far, we are working out the technology for obtaining oils and we study their physical and chemical properties. This is the basis for future commercial applications," says the researcher.
