It is known that a rock hook (horizontal) can withstand an average load of 600-650 kg. To increase the reliability of the belay point, 2-3 rock hooks should be blocked. It is logical to assume that they will withstand a load of 2-3 times more, but for this it is necessary that the entire load be evenly distributed between the hooks. If you hang your own loop on each hook, then the load will be evenly distributed only with one single direction in space. If a person on the railing (vertical), fixed on these hinges, moves horizontally, then the load will be redistributed between the hooks. Some of them will be more loaded, others less.

In the event of a sharp increase in load (let's say, for example, that there was an erroneous set of slack and a further breakdown of the participant), it will be perceived, first of all, by more loaded hooks. The load may exceed the maximum allowable - the hook will pull out. Immediately, the load will be redistributed to the remaining hooks and, perhaps, they will be torn out after the first one. (Naturally, part of the energy of the break will go to pulling out the hook, but "pulling out" the hook is already an extremely unpleasant event).

On fig. 30 and fig. 32 pictured compensation loop. When changing the direction of the load, some branches of the loop will shorten, others will lengthen and the load distribution will be aligned. (Perfect uniformity will not be obtained, but the result achieved is quite acceptable).

A piece of rope 3-4 meters long is tied into a ring with a grapevine or a counter-eight, stitched into carabiners on three hooks clogged (twisted) with a triangle (Fig. 29). The two sides of the triangle are pulled towards themselves and twisted once each. A carabiner is fastened into the two formed loops and the third non-twisted branch (Fig. 30).

On two hooks, the knitting principle is the same. The rope ring is fastened into the carabiners on two hooks, the lower branch is twisted once and, pulling the upper branch to it, the carabiner is fastened into both branches (Fig. 31-32).

If you need to hang a compensation loop on a tree, do this: a piece of rope is wrapped around the tree twice and then the ends of the rope are tied with an oncoming eight or grapevine (Fig. 33). The carabiner is fastened in both turns.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

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 ... >>

Fat people live longer 20.05.2016

Biochemist Bjorgen Nordestgaard (Borge Nordestgaard) from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) and his colleagues studied the data of more than 100 thousand adults. The study showed that the body mass index (BMI), associated with a low risk of death, increased in Denmark from 1976 to 2013 from 23,7 to 27. Moreover, the analysis showed that the risk of death in obese citizens almost the same as in people without excess weight.

Many studies show that obese people are at higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and several other ailments. But other work indicates that being overweight is actually not that dangerous. For example, data from a study of patients with type XNUMX diabetes have shown that people of normal weight have an even higher risk of death.

The new study, in turn, concluded that obese people have the same risk of death as people with normal weight. This trend persisted after taking into account additional factors such as age, sex, smoking, and hereditary predisposition to cardiovascular disease and cancer.

However, scientists are asked to correctly interpret the results. This does not mean at all that from now on you can eat whatever you want, in any quantity without harm to health. Rather, people who are moderately overweight may not need to worry as much as they used to. It is only necessary to keep blood pressure, cholesterol levels and other risk factors under control.

The results also do not mean that "healthy" BMI will continue to rise. It is not clear whether the results of the study can be applied to members of other ethnic groups. A significant proportion of Asians, for example, are known to have an increased risk of type XNUMX diabetes and cardiovascular disease and a lower BMI.

In general, the study shows the conventionality of BMI in assessing human health. According to Dr. Rexford Ahima from the University of Pennsylvania (USA), this is a convenient measure for comparing the physical parameters of different populations, but it says little about the health status of specific individuals and potential risks for them. It is always necessary to take into account other factors: gender, physical development, proportion of muscle tissue, heredity, etc.
