چکیده

It is well known that the rich culture of old Maya contained, among other, also a very complicated and complex calendar, in which they recorded not only historical events, but significant astronomical phenomena. Main source information Dresden Codex, roughly covering interval between 280 1325 AD. The problem so-called correlation Mayan our calendars (expressing difference Long Count calendar Julian date) old, there exist about fifty different solutions mutually differ by up to hundreds years. Out these, historians mostly accept Goodman - Mart?nez Thompson (GMT) value 584 283 days, based almost entirely on events. On contrary, we stressed precisely dated data, demonstrated contradictions GMT with them, derived B?hm (BB) 622 261 excellent agreement phenomena Codex. researchers are convinced did pay much attention Mercury. Here conclude truth opposite; analyze data Codex find many records corresponding visibility Mercury near its maximum elongations from Sun, their conjunctions.

Did we observe the supernova shock breakout in GRB 060218 ?

If the early optical data of GRB 060218 up to 10 s are interpreted as the black-body flux associated with the supernova shock breakout, we can derive lower limits to the bolometric luminosity and energetics of this black–body component. These limits are more severe for the very early data that imply energetics of order of 10 erg. These values, puzzlingly large, are rather independent of the ass...

Did one observe couplings of right - handed quarks to W ?

I consider non standard EW couplings of light right-handed quarks to W and Z suggested in a systematic non decoupling bottom-up low-energy effective theory approach to possible extensions of the Standard Model. New experimental tests in KL μ3 decays based on recent measurements and scalar form factor analysis are discussed. A successful NLO fit to the standard set of Z-pole and other NC data is...

After the introduction of mercury into the process of hat making in the seventeenth century it became a notoriously dangerous occupation, especially in France, where mercury was first used. Mercurial poisoning became so common among the hatters in Victorian Britain that it is widely supposed that Lewis Carroll had the condition in mind when he invented the character of the Mad Hatter in Alice's...
