IT bouquet

    When I saw the name of the blog, I thought that this is primarily a call to action - do it yourself!
    But, having started to read, I discovered that most of the topics contain a statement - I did it myself!
    Whether other people repeat the constructions or not, science does not know.

    I propose a long-term idea with the status of “not implemented”, but theoretically having the full right to life. And most importantly, it corresponds to the motto - do it yourself!
    The most active people and money will be able to earn with its implementation.

    As you know, girls are different. Some love gifts made by hands - the hands of a jeweler, others do not care about a gift ... the main thing is that there is an automatic transmission.
    What unites the girls is that they love flowers!
    This is about flowers.

    There is such a belief - the life expectancy of a bouquet directly depends on the strength of the gift's love. Therefore, everyone wants a bouquet of long days of life.
    Of course, the best way is to increase the power of love! But if it is not enough, then you can use various useful tips:
    - cut flowers before or after sunset;
    - do not mix different varieties in a bouquet;
    - make a cut with a sharp knife under water;
    - cover the flowers with a thin film;
    - cut off excess leaves;
    - spray the bouquet with water;
    - put a bouquet in a vase;
    - pour water into a vase;
    - Add sugar, citric acid or an aspirin tablet to the water.

    If you carefully consider these tips, you can draw very simple conclusions:
    - flowers need water;
    - water must be of high quality;
    - the flowers do not get along well with others.
    Everything is like people!

    When the plant has not yet been cut, the roots provide the collection and pumping of water along the stem.
    After the cut, the flower loses its pump, water and life.
    The solution is to find a replacement for the roots using an external pump.

    I have two options - medical and IT.

    Medical.
    Those who have not yet been in the hospital are happy people who do not know what the “system” is.
    This is such a thing that delivers food or medicine through a vein into the circulatory system of the body.
    Principle of work: a container with a solution is placed over a lying person. The pressure of the water column exceeds the pressure in the circulatory system, and the fluid easily penetrates the body.
    The idea is extremely simple - we replace a sick person with a flower:
    - insert the stem into the tube (the needle is no longer needed);
    - get rid of the air in the system (just dropping the flower down);
    - we have a container with water above the flower (providing the necessary pressure).
    To get rid of the nourishing process (although it can be made very elegant - everything is limited only by the flight of your imagination), you can create a system, like a soul-trample. The massive structure presses on a flexible container from which water enters the stem (one stem - one tube). The main thing is not to overdo it with pressure, otherwise a flower rocket will fly!
    The method is medical, therefore, we use the composition described in the last tip to prolong life as a nutrient solution.
    An interesting option: you don’t have to return the flower to its normal position after getting rid of the air ... Then you get an original inverted flower with a car-waterer!

    Since we are on Habré, and not on the flower forum, the IT method is much more interesting .
    It is known that water moves in plants through capillaries. And capillaries are such thin tubes, similar to those glass ones used in experiments.
    - If capillaries are lowered into the liquid with water, then the height of the liquid will be X.
    - If you include an ultrasound source in the water, then the height of the water will be Y.
    The most interesting is that Y> X is ten times!
    This is called the ultrasonic capillary effect (abbreviated as UKE).
    In the description, pay attention to the royal primrose.

    A spectacular video demonstrating this effect was found on YouTube.

    Then everything is clear.
    IT-bouquet will delight the gifted person for a long time, and IT people will love even more.
    There was a completely “small” task: to conduct experiments, select the optimal non-destructive powers, frequencies, exposure time, develop the design of the “IT-vase”, and also share the result, because on the nose - March 8!

    Drought-affected trees emit ultrasound

    April 16, 2013.
    Alexandre Ponomarenko from the University of Grenoble, France, claims that trees, under conditions of high stress caused by drought, make sounds that can be registered and used as signs of a water shortage that is dangerous for the plant.

    Why is this happening? In the tree trunk, water and a number of substances rise along the network of xylem vessels from the roots to the tops. Since the trees are tall, for the water delivery to work, the pressure in the vessels can be many times higher than atmospheric. But, like in a cocktail tube, when the water in the vessel ends and it is already not enough to fill the entire container, the formation of bubbles may begin. As a result, with a moisture deficit in xylem, cavitation processes are launched, which the tree is almost unable to withstand. And if their scale is too large, the plant will be injured or even die, like a person in the event of a gas embolism, when air bubbles in the circulatory system cause serious damage to blood vessels.

    To identify cavitation in the tissues of the tree, scientists under the leadership of Mr. Ponomarenko used a piece of pine trunk placed in a gel, which was designed to simulate the environment inside a living plant. Then water was gradually removed from the gel, simulating drought conditions. At the same time, the sample was taken with a high-speed camera and the sounds coming from it were recorded on a microphone.

    And here's what we managed to find out: the appearance of bubbles recorded by the camera and sounds of a cavitation nature coincide in time, and the latter are responsible for 50% of the sounds in the ultrasonic range from the plant. The remaining half was due to extraneous processes, such as air bubbles entering cells adjacent to xylem vessels.

    Scientists believe that microphones tuned to such sounds are quite capable of helping to detect drought symptoms in a still healthy-looking tree, including biocenoses, where such plants are on the verge of extinction due to the droughts that have become more frequent in recent decades due to global warming.

    The study report was presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society.

    Or can trees produce ultrasound to facilitate the rise of water through the capillaries?
