Here are the recipes celluloid varnish.

Celluloid 40 g;
Amyl acetate 1 kg;
Acetone 1 kg.

An excellent varnish can be made from old film and photographic films. The films must first be freed from the negative layer, for which they are soaked in a hot soda solution. After removing the negative layer and washing in warm water, the celluloid is air dried. Celluloid cut into small pieces is processed in a wide-neck bottle with a mixture of acetone and amyl acetate. The bottle is carefully corked and shaken from time to time. Dissolution occurs relatively slowly. After allowing the liquid to settle after dissolving, carefully pour the clear liquid into another bottle.

Instead of film and photographic films, you can use celluloid in any form.

For the manufacture of celluloid varnishes for dressing pearl stalemate (coatings for artificial pearls), dissolve 2 meters of film strip, cleared of the negative layer, in 200-250 cm3 of amyl acetate, after which the solution is mixed with 250-400 cm3 of ordinary commercial colorless collodion. If you want to get a coral shade of varnish, use colored collodion.

The varnish must be applied in an even layer. Varnish that has been in use for a long time must be freed from foreign impurities by settling.

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 ... >>

Synthesized alternative DNA and RNA 24.04.2012

The journal Science reports on a giant breakthrough in genetics - a joint group of scientists from different countries managed to synthesize alternative versions of DNA and RNA. These molecules are just as capable of storing and passing on genetic information.

A group of scientists from the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, led by Philip Holliger, was able to do what no one else had been able to do before - using a special enzyme, they created and propagated RNA and DNA-like molecules, replacing the sugars contained in the original RNA and DNA, respectively, deoxyrase and rinase with completely different sugars. They did this "trick" six times with different sugars. Thus, they were able to claim that they had synthesized for the first time six different "xeno-nucleic acids" (XNA) - molecules that do not exist in nature, but are also capable of storing and transmitting genetic information, and in the same language.

Thus, it has been proven that DNA and RNA, the informational basis of all life on Earth, are not unique, and many alternatives can be found for them.

The main fundamental consequence of the experiments is that light has finally appeared in the window on the question of how the first RNAs appeared. Being less complex molecules than DNA, they, according to most, arose earlier, but since they themselves are incredibly complex, they simply theoretically could not have appeared spontaneously - they must have had predecessors. Most likely, these were some much simpler pra-RNAs. However, the question remained open as to how these primordial RNAs could pass on their information to their more complex descendants.

Scientists believe that a third party, a translator capable of interacting with both molecules, should have been involved here. One of the six synthesized XNAs, a nucleic acid with a skeleton of trease, the simplest sugar with amazing properties that allow a molecule based on it not only to “talk” to RNA, but also enter into its composition, would be quite suitable for the role of such a “translator”.
