smoking candles or "nuns" enjoy great sympathy among the people, which, perhaps, is facilitated by their extremely convenient use. In addition, they are an important subject of export to Muslim countries, where alcoholic preparations are prohibited.

The preparation of smoking candles is as follows: their constituent parts are mixed in a porcelain mortar into a plastic mass. Sticks 1 cm thick are made from the latter on a pill machine, they are cut, rolled out with a small board, like a suppository, into a pointed cone. When producing large quantities, special machines can be used. A more attractive look is given to smoking candles by powder coating with multi-colored bronze.

Here is a tried and tested recipe, borrowed from A. Klinge's collection.

3500 parts of charcoal (powdered);
100 parts of saltpeter (in powder);
100 parts of tragacanth (in powder);
3000 parts (approximately) of water.

From these products, a thick dough is prepared and added:

100 pieces of styrax
100 parts incense resin
1 part coumarin
1 part vanillin.

Smoking candles are made from the mass, as indicated above.

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 ... >>

Non-alcoholic beer is good for the heart 02.04.2005

Beer that has had the alcohol removed appears to be good for heart patients. A study conducted at the Wiesbaden Clinic (Germany) showed that non-alcoholic beer reduces blood clotting.

The participants in the experiment were divided into three groups: one was given three liters of regular beer, the other - non-alcoholic, and the third group drank a four percent solution of ethyl alcohol in water. It was necessary to drink these three liters in three hours.

Those who drank non-alcoholic beer had reduced blood levels of the enzyme thrombin, which causes platelets to stick together and cause blood to clot. Regular beer and a weak solution of alcohol, on the contrary, increased clotting.

The researchers believe that non-alcoholic beer may be able to partially replace the drugs that reduce blood clotting, which are prescribed to patients recovering from a heart attack. Which component of beer acts this way is not yet clear.
