Olympic Knot. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Node named Olympic because it is obtained from five rings. This is an old marine knot from the "golden age of sail" - the heyday of tea, opium and woolen clippers. In maritime English, the name of this knot is quite sentimental - "Two hearts beating as one." Despite the apparent bulkiness of the knot at first glance, it fits no more difficulttop.

The Olympic knot is reliable and specifically meets its intended purpose - to shorten the cable for a while.

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 ... >>

Pioneer BDR-S07J optical drive burns BDXL discs 07.02.2012

Pioneer announced the release of the BDR-S07J optical drive. The novelty allows not only to read, but also to record Blu-ray discs, both one-two, three- and four-layer.

The Pioneer BDR-S07J is equipped with 4 MB of cache memory and is designed to fit into a 5,25-inch PC case bay. The product allows you to record single- and dual-layer BD-R discs at 12x speed, and three- and four-layer discs at 6x speed. The maximum write speed for BD-RE media is 2x, DVD-R and DVD+R media is 16x, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL and DVD+RW media is 8x, CD-R media is 40x, CD-RW media is 24x.

Pioneer can be installed both vertically and horizontally. Overall dimensions of the optical drive - 180 x 148 x 42,3 mm, weight - 750 grams. The novelty will go on sale in the Japanese market in mid-February, its cost has not yet been reported.
