Focus Description:

Make a dial from a thick piece of paper measuring 5x5 cm, as shown in the figure.

Focus Amazing Arrow

On the dial, the hands on two opposite sides are located at an angle of 90° relative to each other. If the hand is on the right it is 3 o'clock. At this time, on the other side of the dial the arrow is pointing upward. If you turn it vertically on the other side, it will be 6 o'clock. After this, the dial is turned horizontally with its reverse side. It will be 9 o'clock. The arrow points to the left. To make it 9 o'clock after 12 o'clock, turn the dial vertically and show the reverse side.

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 ... >>

Electric capsule to stimulate the stomach and improve appetite 05.05.2023

American engineers have created a capsule that, when swallowed, electrically stimulates the cells of the stomach, prompting them to produce the hunger hormone ghrelin. The first trials of the invention, which may help in the treatment of nausea and decreased appetite, were carried out on pigs.

The hormone ghrelin is responsible for the feeling of hunger and is known for its ability to increase appetite and counteract nausea. It is produced primarily by cells in the stomach, which is why MIT scientists have hypothesized that electrically stimulating the stomach from within can increase production of the hormone. This would be useful in the treatment of conditions accompanied by poor appetite and nausea in humans.

To avoid implanting electrodes in the organ, the scientists created a prototype capsule that can be swallowed like a regular tablet and will temporarily act in the stomach until it naturally leaves it. It has electronics in its structure that generates electrical signals and sends them to the cells through an electrode wound on the outside of the capsule, and also contains a battery inside to power it.

To ensure that the fluid in the stomach does not interfere with the electrode contact with the cells, the engineers gave the capsule a shape inspired by the skin of Moloch lizards. In these animals, it has a system of microscopic channels that absorb and direct, thanks to capillary forces, rainwater and dew into the mouths of the Molochs.

A similar system of channels with a hydrophilic coating was also given to the surface of the capsule so that it would drain excess fluid from the electrode, allowing it to contact and stimulate cells. And so that the capsule does not begin to act even in the esophagus, it was coated with isomalt, a sweetener that degrades in stomach acid.

Testing on 13 pigs showed that after ten minutes of capsule stimulation, blood levels of ghrelin increased by about 40 percent. The capsule remained in the stomach for a day, and then all animals got rid of it naturally within two weeks, which is a normal indicator for pigs.

The study of the tissues of the digestive tract of the test animals did not reveal signs of inflammation, trauma or other pathologies due to the capsule, which preliminary indicates the safety of the technology. In addition, the observed increase in ghrelin levels is considered sufficient by scientists to reduce nausea and improve appetite, but further human experiments are needed to verify this.
