Yet it cannot be assumed that Islamization always made sense for elites as a power-enhancing stratagem, or that rulers or holy men were willing or able to shape th...

where √ s is c.m. energy of the process, Esp ≈ 4 √ 6πmw g ≈ 16 TeV energy of sphaleron [7]. The first term in ”Holy Grail” function F (ε) is ’t Hooft suppression factor [1], the second corresponds to the multiple W and Higgs bosons production in Gauss approximation [4, 5], the third is a contribution of tree boson graphs [8, 9]. Boson loops [10] and fermion contribution [11] are accumulated in ...

Further, neither the adults nor the children distinguish narrow f...
