The findings were presented in an article published in Research Square. Although the natural source of SARS-CoV-2 is still unknown, it is believed that the precursor to the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic and has killed more than five million people worldwide was the sarbecovirus (a subgenus of coronaviruses) in Asian horseshoe bats or rhinolophids.

Altai State University developed meteorological stations to save water when irrigating land during a drought Russian scientists from Altai State University (Altai State University) together with researchers from Germany and Kazakhstan have found a way to prevent crop losses during drought. A new technology that allows to save water when irrigating agricultural lands can be used to solve the problem that has become aggravated in many countries against the background of global warming, according to the website of the educational institution. Instead of installing expensive irrigation systems, the developers suggested monitoring soil moisture. To do this, on farmland in the Altai Territory and Kazakhstan, scientists have installed meteorological stations with sensors – they measure the temperature, moisture level at different depths and the availability of water for plants. Data is received in real time on computers or smartphones – on their On the basis, drought can be predicted and the
