6.5.19. The outdoor lighting control system must ensure that it is turned off for no more than 3 minutes.

It is recommended that outdoor lighting be controlled from a limited number of locations.

6.5.20. For small industrial enterprises and settlements, it is allowed to provide for the control of outdoor lighting by switching devices installed on the lighting power lines, provided that the service personnel have access to these devices.

6.5.21. It is recommended to perform centralized control of outdoor lighting in cities and towns:

telemechanical 50 thousand - with the number of inhabitants more than
telemechanical or remote - with the number of inhabitants from 20 to 50 thousand;
remote - with the number of inhabitants up to 20 thousand people;

6.5.22. With the centralized control of outdoor lighting of industrial enterprises, the possibility of local control of lighting should be provided.

6.5.23. It is recommended to control the lighting of open technological installations, open warehouses and other open facilities in industrial buildings, the lighting of which is powered by internal lighting networks, from these buildings or centrally.

6.5.24. The city's outdoor lighting should be controlled from one central control room. In the largest cities, the territories of which are separated by water, forest or natural barriers to the terrain, district dispatch centers may be provided.

A direct telephone connection is required between the central and regional dispatch centers.

6.5.25. To reduce the illumination of streets and squares of cities at night, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of turning off some of the lamps. In this case, it is not allowed to turn off two adjacent lamps.

6.5.26. For pedestrian and transport tunnels, separate control of lamps for daytime, evening and night modes of operation of the tunnels should be provided. For pedestrian tunnels, in addition, it is necessary to provide the possibility of local control.

6.5.27. Lighting control of territories of boarding schools, hotels, hospitals, hospitals, sanatoriums, boarding houses, rest houses, parks, gardens, stadiums and exhibitions, etc. it is recommended to carry out from the control system of external lighting of the settlement. In this case, the possibility of local control must be ensured.

When the lighting of the indicated objects is supplied from the networks of the internal lighting of buildings, the external lighting can be controlled from these buildings.

6.5.28. It is recommended to control the light protection of high-rise structures (masts, chimneys, etc.) from the objects to which these structures belong.

6.5.29. Centralized management of outdoor lighting networks of cities, towns and industrial enterprises should be carried out by using switching devices installed at outdoor lighting power points.

It is recommended to control switching devices in outdoor lighting networks of cities and towns, as a rule, by cascading (sequential) switching them on.

In air-cable networks, up to 10 power points can be included in one cascade, and in cable networks, up to 15 power points of the street lighting network.

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 ... >>

Muscle building gene found 31.07.2022

Researchers from the Universities of Melbourne and Copenhagen have studied molecular responses in muscles before, during and after various types of exercise.

The found gene will help discover alternative treatments even without exercise.

To determine how genes and proteins are activated during and after exercise, the authors analyzed human skeletal muscle during exercise, said Dr. Benjamin Parker, lead author of the study.

The team analyzed how the signaling responses in the muscles changed after different types of exercise, as well as how consistent these changes were in different people.

Based on this, they identified a previously unrecorded C18ORF25 gene. He activated most of the time.

To test it out, the team engineered mice without the gene. As a result, they had a deficiency of muscle fibers. This led to muscle weakness and reduced physical performance. Conversely, when they increased gene activity, the animals' muscles became stronger.

The authors said their work will help fight muscle wasting and prevent and treat chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many types of cancer.
