Tourist tips

Many knots, when wet, are difficult to untie. It often happens that in the literal sense of the word, the ends have to be cut.

It was for this situation that the sailors came up with a knot with the name "wet half-bayonet". It is used for fastening painters and mooring lines for bollards, bollards and bitengs. It is designed for strong traction and fast recoil. No matter how much the knot is tightened and at the same time wet, it can always be quickly given away.

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 ... >>

Likes don't cheer you up 04.06.2017

Dr Martin Graff from the University of South Wales spoke about the results of his study of social media users. In short, "likes" in response to posts on social networks do not help to feel more confident and are not particularly encouraging, in the end. The results of the preliminary study were presented at the Annual Conference of the British Psychological Society in Brighton in May 2017.

A total of 340 participants were selected via Twitter and Facebook by completing questionnaires. They were also asked to say how much they agree or disagree with 25 statements about how people view ratings on social media. For example, "the attention I get from social media makes me feel good" or "I think someone is popular based on the number of likes they have."

The analysis showed that participants who said they made extraordinary efforts to get more "likes" (such as asking for it or paying for it) were more likely to have low self-esteem and be less gullible. The same can be said for those who admitted to deleting messages or changing their profile picture based on the number of positive ratings.

"The proliferation of social media use has led to a general concern about their impact on our mental health," said Dr. Graff. "While this is only a relatively small study, the results show that how we interact with social media can influence how we how we feel - and our feelings are not always positive."
