Noose with half bayonets. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

About a hundred years ago, in the sailing fleet, without this knot, the implementation of many shipboard works would have been simply unthinkable.

Noose with half bayonets, along with a retractable bayonet, was used on ships to lift up spars - topmasts, yards, gaffs, etc. She tied logs in the water for towing, she was used to load cylindrical objects, loaded rails and telegraph poles. The same knot was used to fasten the root ends of the mars-sheets, mars-gits and other gear, where it was necessary to have the ends ready for a quick return. A noose without half-bayonets was often used to fasten the mooring line behind the coastal fell.

This knot, proven by centuries of experience at sea, has long been used ashore. It is widely used by lumberjacks. In many foreign languages, the name of this node is "forest node" or "log node".

The noose with half bayonets is a reliable and very strong knot, which is extremely tightened around the object being lifted. The running end of the cable must be passed over the root end inside the loop towards the object being clamped. After the loop is surrounded by the running end 3-4 times, it is taken out of the loop towards the far end, from which there will be traction. At the same time, the noose is very easy and simple to untie when the pull on the cable stops.

In order to lift a tree trunk of several tons or a heavy metal pipe without risk to human life, it is not necessary to have any special rigging devices for a crane. You can perfectly manage with a vegetable cable of appropriate strength or steel. But for this you need to be able to properly tie this knot. It should always be knitted a little away from the middle of the log (pipe). Having brought the running end of the cable out of the loop that makes up the knot, it is pulled towards the end of the object being lifted, from which there will be traction, and two half bayonets are made. But, as a rule, two half-bayonets are made before the start of knitting the noose, since the root end of the tackle is already fixed (Fig. 65, b).

The slack in the cable between the choke and half bayonets must be taken out before lifting. Having lifted the object with a crane, it is better to deliver it to the place in one go, without lowering it to the ground. You should always remember that this knot must be checked before each lift (if it is carried out in two steps). It is also important in which direction to make half-bayonets on the log. They should be laid along the descent of the cable. Lifting heavy objects with a noose without half bayonets is considered dangerous.

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 ... >>

The nature of the influence of plants on stress 24.04.2019

As you know, plant cell structures such as chloroplasts convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy (photosynthesis). Normally, the cell nucleus relays information to the chloroplasts to maintain stable energy production. However, in a stressful environment, on the contrary, green plastids send an alarm signal back to the cell nucleus using retrograde signaling (creating a feedback loop between the chloroplast and the nucleus). This SOS triggers a response that helps regulate gene expression in the chloroplast and nucleus to optimize energy production.

Previously, the lab of Joanne Chory - who led the current study - at the Salk Institute identified a group of genes, including GUN1, that affect the expression of other genes in a cell when a plant is stressed. GUN1 accumulates under stressful conditions, but the exact molecular function of this gene has so far been difficult to decipher.

"Plants often experience stressful situations due to environmental changes, so there must be a communication channel between the chloroplast and the nucleus that helps the plant understand when to conserve energy when injured," says Xiaobo Zhao, one of the authors of the paper. "GUN1 plays a big role in this."

To understand how GUN1 regulates chloroplast-nucleus interactions, the scientists observed plants with functional and non-functional GUN1 under pharmacological treatments that could damage chloroplasts. In plants without GUN1, gene expression changed, as did RNA editing in chloroplasts. As a result, the scientists found that GUN1 interacts with the MORF2 protein (an essential component of the plant RNA editing complex) to influence the efficiency of RNA editing during "communication" between the chloroplast and the nucleus in damaged chloroplasts.

During the experiment, the biologists noticed that high MORF2 activity leads to editing changes, as well as defects in chloroplasts and in leaf development, even under normal growth conditions. During periods of stress and injury, overproduction of MORF2 also led to disruption of communication between the chloroplast and the nucleus.

Going forward, the researchers plan to study the mechanism of how RNA editing changes in chloroplasts activate signals that can be transmitted to the nucleus, and how these modifications change the plant's ability to respond to stress.
