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 ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Male and female brains work differently
12.06.2016
Although our whole life depends on the ability to cooperate and negotiate with others, this ability manifests itself in different people in different ways and depends on many things. One of the main factors here is gender. For example, it is known that women cooperate better with each other if they feel that other women are watching them, and men cooperate better with each other in large groups than in small ones. At the same time, it is easier for two men to reach agreement than for two women, but at the same time, in a female-male couple, a woman is more inclined to cooperate than her partner.
Sooner or later, of course, the question should have arisen of how such intersexual psychological characteristics are reflected in the functioning of the brain. Similar studies were carried out, but they had one methodological flaw - they all looked, roughly speaking, like this: a person lies in a brain scan machine and imagines that he needs to cooperate with someone. In order to somehow bring the experimental situation closer to real life, neuroscientists from Stanford used not fMRI, but spectroscopy in the near infrared region - it can also be used to monitor brain activity, but a person does not have to lie down and is able to communicate normally with others.
More than two hundred people participated in the experiment: they were divided into pairs of a man-man, a woman-woman and a man-woman and seated them at the tables, so that the partners were sitting opposite each other - they saw each other, but could not talk. In front of each of them was a monitor, on which was a circle that periodically changed color; the task was to press the button when the circle was repainted, and it was required to do this simultaneously with the partner. After another attempt, each participant in the experiment was told which of them pressed the button faster and how much faster. In total, each pair was given 40 attempts to synchronize the actions as fully as possible.
Men's pairs performed better than women's pairs. However, something else turned out to be important: if the partners were of the same sex, then the brains of both were in good agreement with each other, and the more obvious the synchronization of neural activity was, the better the result. But at the same time, synchronization was different for different sexes, that is, for example, in men, coordination of activity occurred in some neural circuits, and in women, in others. Thus, in women, the right temporal cortex took a particularly active part in mutual tuning, and in men, the right lower prefrontal cortex.
As for the female-male couples, a paradox was observed with them: they performed the task almost as well as the male couples, but they did not have coherence in the work of the brains. From this one could conclude that in some cases joint work can be performed without neural tuning to each other, however, the researchers themselves stipulate that they did not observe the entire brain, and that, perhaps, with female-male cooperation, coordination of actions occurs in other brains. plots.
