Construction of walls of the 2nd floor.

Large-format ceramic blocks are used for laying external and internal walls, as well as load-bearing walls of residential buildings up to 5 floors high. Cottages built from this material are distinguished by their structural strength and thermal and sound insulation, and the walls, due to the porosity of the material, “breathe,” which provides a favorable microclimate in the house.

Mark Roberge has found a way to destroy anthrax

Marc Roberge discovered that coarse flour could kill anthrax spores directly in an envelope without damaging its contents—in other words, evidence like handwritten text on the envelope or the perpetrator's fingerprints would remain, but the strain itself would disappear.

Of course, the 17-year-old did not use anthrax directly for the research, since this is prohibited by law - instead, he examined a similar strain, Bacillus subtilis, provided by a biotech. Bacillus subtilis is closely related to anthrax and is often used as an alternative in research, and it is also more heat-resistant, which adds further weight to Roberge's findings.

Construction of the armored belt of the 1st floor. Laying prefabricated floor slabs.

An armored belt is a reinforced concrete structure designed to strengthen the walls of a house from various loads that arise as a result of deformation under the influence of both external and internal factors. Reinforced concrete slabs are one of the most common types of floors. They provide high strength and allow you to install a rigid structure in the shortest possible time. Floor slabs should be selected in such a way that they are sufficiently supported on the underlying reinforced belt.

Stage:

Installation of a floor slab on the ground with laying of utilities.

After erecting the foundation, it is necessary to install utilities, and then you can proceed to backfilling, compacting and pouring the floor slab on the ground.

Stage:

Construction of the foundation.

Construction of the foundation is one of the most important activities during the construction of a residential building. When designing, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors, such as the type of soil, the presence of water and floating objects in the soil, elevation differences across the site, loads from the future structure, level of soil freezing, etc. The future fate of the constructed structure will depend on the quality of the constructed structure. Construction of a prefabricated foundation. Concrete base + FBS blocks.

Daniel Burd has discovered microbes that eat plastic waste.

Plastic bags are cheap and convenient, but they pollute the environment: plastic takes many years to decompose, and this has a negative impact on the environment. Canadian schoolboy Daniel Burd wondered why we couldn't just isolate the organisms that slowly "eat" plastic and increase their concentration in one place to speed up the process - in just six weeks, his microbes reduced the volume of plastic by 43%.

The technology has yet to be improved - leading ecologists in Canada are currently working on this.

Lauren Hodge discovered that acidic marinades reduce the risk of cancer

After a group of doctors filed a lawsuit against some restaurants and fast food chains, alleging they failed to warn customers about the carcinogenic effects of grilled meat, Lauren Hodge had an idea.

She saw that her mother used a small amount of lemon juice when marinating meat, which caused the meat to change color - this led her to believe that citrus fruits block the formation of carcinogens: acidic marinades have the greatest impact, while olive oil, for example, makes it worse .

The research won her a prize at the Google Science Fair, showing that some of the best ideas for scientific research are right under our noses.
