Tourist tips

When performing various ship work on the deck, it sometimes becomes necessary to hold the cable under tension. This is done with another cable attached lock knot to the cable to be stopped.

If the pull of the cable to be stopped is to the right, then the running end of the locking cable is placed on top of the cable with a hose to the left, then another hose is made and the running end of the locking cable is led towards the first and second hoses, clamping them, and then to the right around the cable in a twist, making one or two more hoses, and in two or three places they put strong contractions or fix them “under themselves”.

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 ... >>

Turbulence detected by lidar 30.03.2018

The American aircraft manufacturer Boeing, together with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the transport company FedEx, has begun flight tests of an aviation lidar designed to detect clear-sky turbulence.

Clear sky turbulence is a fairly dangerous atmospheric phenomenon, which is uneven air currents in the Earth's atmosphere. Unlike other types of turbulence, it is almost not accompanied by cloudiness, but is observed in clear skies or a small amount of upper clouds. Therefore, it is almost impossible to detect it in advance - both visually and with the help of radars on board the aircraft.

However, the prediction of clear air turbulence is very important, as it has a strong, sometimes catastrophic effect on aircraft. It is very difficult due to intermittency, sharp localization in the surrounding flow, and great variability in the size and duration of the phenomenon. These features complicate not only the forecast, but also the very study of this type of turbulence.

Due to the lack of the ability to directly observe clear-sky turbulence visually or with the help of radar, its prediction so far has been limited to the detection of indirect signs of an increased probability of the presence of turbulence zones. Now Boeing and JAXA have built a lidar that can track the movement of tiny particles in the air, as well as detect irregularities in the air mass.

Due to this, it allows detecting clear-sky turbulence zones with a fairly high probability. The FedEx Boeing 777F cargo plane is taking part in the tests, on which a lidar was placed behind the wing console just above its plane. The developers claim that the device is able to detect zones of clear-sky turbulence at a distance of 17,5 kilometers, which gives pilots about 60 seconds to take action.
