Comments on the article

In some cases (during outdoor recreation or a power outage at home), it becomes necessary to power the LL from autonomous low-voltage current sources, for example, from a car battery.

Let's look at a few designs that will help us solve this problem.

According to the circuit design, electronic ballasts operating from autonomous low-voltage sources are divided into two groups:

two-stroke;
single-cycle.

They can be implemented both on specialized microcircuits and on discrete elements.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Search for new lands 28.08.2010

Near a distant star, a new method has found the lightest planet, only 15 times heavier than the Earth.

One method in the arsenal of planet hunters is to observe the changes in the intensity of the glow of a distant star when it is eclipsed by a large planet. They can also search for small planets, however, not directly, but by changes in the time of such an eclipse. If it really changes for a minute or two, then you should connect the computer and, on the basis of the calculation, find out which planets, invisible to the naked eye, cause such consequences.

Dr. Grazian Maciejowski from the University of Jena and colleagues proved the efficiency of this method and found a very light (with a mass like that of Uranus, that is, 15 times heavier than the Earth) planet near the star WASP-3 in the constellation Lyra. A small planet revolves around a star in 3,5 days, and the radius of its orbit is twice that of the main planet of the system - hot Jupiter with a mass of 630 Earth masses.

And if there was a planet with a mass of the Earth, would you notice it? Yes, because it would cause changes in the transit time of a hot Jupiter on the order of one minute, and this can be seen even with a small telescope with a mirror diameter of one meter.
