Comments on the article

To date, the highest quality products and a wide range in our market are represented not by domestic manufacturers, but by global ones. lighting brands:

German company OSRAM [osram.com];
Dutch PHILIPS [lighting.philips.com];
American GE Lighting (General Electric) [gelighting.com].

They offer the widest selection of high quality LL for every taste and color. Manufacturers divide their fluorescent lamps into two big categories:

category 1 - fluorescent lamps LL (FL - Fluorescent Lamps);
category 2 - compact fluorescent lamps CFL (CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamps).

LL are divided into three groups:

a) by spectral composition of radiation:

standard;
with improved color rendering;
special.

b) by electrical power:

low-power - up to 18 W;
average power -18-58 W;
powerful - over 58 W;

c) by tube diameter:

T2 -7 mm;
T5 -16 mm;
T8 -26 mm;
T12 - 38 mm;

d) by tube shape and length:

straight lines (linear);
U-shaped;
ring;

e) by light distribution:

with non-directional light emission;
with directional light emission (reflex, slot, panel, etc.).

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 ... >>

Loneliness damages the brain 19.11.2018

It is known that prolonged loneliness has a bad effect on the psyche: anxiety worsens in a person, depression develops (which can lead to psychosis), memory and other cognitive skills deteriorate. It would be quite logical to assume that such strong changes in the psyche are accompanied by changes in the neural circuits of the brain.

To find out what happens in a lonely brain, researchers from Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Pittsburgh first raised lab mice in large shared cages where they could communicate with each other, play with toys together, run through mazes, etc., and then, when rodents became adults, they were transplanted into single cages. A month later, according to a report at the annual conference of the Neuroscience Society, neurons in mice decreased in volume - by an average of 20% - and remained in this form for another three months, while the mice were kept separately from each other.

On the other hand, during a month of solitary confinement on neurons, there were more so-called dendritic spines - special protrusions on the cell membrane, where the neural process-dendrite is ready to form a connection-synapse with another neuron. Usually, an increase in dendritic spines is a positive sign: it means that the brain is adapting to new information and is ready to build new neural circuits. However, in this case, the increase in the number of spines should apparently be understood in the sense that the brain tries to maintain the status quo in the absence of social stimuli.

However, after a month of loneliness in mouse neurons, the number of spines dropped. What's more, the levels of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, were reduced in the brain. This protein stimulates the growth of neurons, which means that since there is less of it, conductive processes grow poorly in neurons alone, therefore, there are fewer opportunities for the emergence of new neural circuits. Finally, compared to the mice that still lived in company, the solitary mice had more damage to the DNA of nerve cells.

In the future, the authors of the work want to test how all these changes affect behavior. Again, we once wrote that social isolation stimulates the activity of a gene in mice that increases aggressiveness and anxiety, but here we need more details linking shades of behavior with changes in neurons. In addition, neuronal contraction has only been observed in the sensory cortex, which processes signals from the sense organs, and in the motor cortex, which controls movement, and it would be interesting to see what happens in other areas of the brain. Finally, further experiments may give us some therapeutic agent with which to treat the brain damaged by loneliness.
