Government of India Atomic Energy Commission B.A.R.C-1177 i 0 OP GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE NEUTRON PHYSICS DIVISION For the period January 1981 - December 1981 Edited by Sandhya Bhakay-Tamhane and Falguni Roy BHABHA ATOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE BOMBAY, INDIA 1982 B.A.ft.C. - 1177 GOVERNMENT OP INDIA ATOMIC BNERGI COMMISSION RESEARCH i DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE NEUTRON PHYSICS DIVISION For 'ih« period January 1981 - D«e«mb«r 1981 by Sandhya Bhakay-Tanhane and Falgunl Roy BHABHA ATOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE BOMBAY, INDIA 1982 FOREWORD This year has been a period of consolidation and growth of the research activities in the Division. The current interests of the Purnlma Group include 233-U critical systems and minimum critical mass systems, applica- tions of the Trombay .Criticality Formula, oil-well logging applications of 14 MeV neutrons, fusion blanket neutronlcs, plasma pinches and various advanced fusion concepts. The 233-U fuelled neutron source reactor project at RHC, Kalpakkam waa accorded sanction during this year enabling it to enter the phase of procurement and fabrication. Several fusion plasma related experiments have been carried out with the available 80 KJ capacitor bank anti a much larger 500 KJ facility is being set up at the Purnlma Complex for pulsed fusion studies. In neutron crystallography, the emphasis waa on structural phase transitions and the physics of diffraction, particularly the physical reasonableness of the parameters characterising a crystal as obtained from a study of extinction effects. Several molecules of pharmacological Importance have also been studied using X-rays. In macroaolecular crystallography, the refinement of two important enzyme structures-human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase B and Cu 2+ lysozyme complex- waa carried out. Several computer programs for biological crystallography were also implemented on the computers accessible to us. The main thrust of the materials physics research programme is on high pressure and shock wave phenomena. The equation of state studies have continued and it was shown that the valence charge in a solid at OK can' be viewed as a pressure ionisation effect. In another study, the non-thermallsation of positrons at very low temperatures in alk&li metals was shown to be interpretable in terms of a charge-density-wave ground state. The R&D work of the Seismology Section is centered around the development of new methods of detecting underground nuclear explosions and of new algorithms for extracting the signals and discriminating between nuclear explosions and earthquakes. The expertise acquired, particularly from the Qauribidanur Seismic Array, is finding use in the seismic risk estimation for siting large structures including nuclear power plants. In the collaborative project for rockburst studies in the Kolar (told Fields, the feasibility study for a three-dimensional network of sensors close to the working mines was completed. The seismology research has both a strong Instrumentation base and an extensive - i. - - il - theoretical back-up. The workshop facilities for the Division are provided by the Fhyslcs Group Workshop whose staff Is affiliated to the Nuclear Physics Division. We are also grateful for the collaboration and support froa several Divisions In B.A.R.C. (It.

  • The Egyptian Title: Hereditary Princess March 1, 2015
    The Egyptian Title: Hereditary Princess March 1, 2015 The Egyptian Title: Hereditary Princess by C. Campbell (MA Egypt Macquarie University) Many ancient Egyptian royal women seem to have born the title iryt-p`t, translated as Hereditary Princess, but what does it mean? The title was used from the 6th Dynasty through to the 20th Dynasty (Bart). Usage outside of that date range is not currently attested. The title is indisputably a royal one, in other words overwhelmingly the title is born by women of the royal house. However there are instances of bearers of this title not holding other royal titles such as Kings Wife, Kings Sister, Kings Daughter or Kings Mother. Royal women who held the title Hereditary Princess and one or more of the titles Sister of the King and or Daughter of the King, Eldest Kings daughter or Daughter of his Body, confirm that the bearer is a daughter and / or sister of a king. But what of those that do not hold these titles, but do carry the title Hereditary Princess? We can divide the remainder into three groups, 1. Those that bear the title Kings wife and Hereditary Princess and no other royal titles 2. Those that bear the title Kings Wife, Kings Mother and Hereditary Princess. These may also be a daughter and or sister of the King. 3. Those that have no other royal titles at all than Hereditary Princess. They also appear to hold this title Hereditary Princess in their own right, Ahmose Nefertari was an Hereditary not as a wife of an Hereditary Prince.

  • Pharaoh Bible
    1. CHARACTERS Pharaoh is essentially an “upstairs/downstairs” story, featuring a wide array of charac- ters of widely disparate social circumstances. The “upstairs” stories feature individuals in positions of power--priests, kings and nota- bles—many of which are based on actual historical figures who lived in the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom Era (see italicized). Conversely, the “downstairs” story is driven by commoners, reflecting the prosaic lives of the average citizen—bureaucrats, soldiers, laborers and criminals—and based upon the latest research that is even now painting a new, utterly compelling picture of daily life in ancient Egypt. PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS: HATSHEPSUT Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thut- mose the First and Queen Ahmose. When she had come of age, her father arranged her marriage to her half-brother, Thut- mose the Second, and was the power be- hind the throne during his rule. Upon the death of her husband, Hatshep- sut believed her right to rule superseded Thutmose the Third’s due to her direct, “uncorrupted” lineage. Therefore, once she was appointed Thutmose the Third’s Regent, Hatshepsut assumed all of the regalia and symbols of royal office and insisted on being referred to in contempo- rary records as “His Majesty.” Hatshepsut, late-20s, is an extremely intelli- gent and capable woman who believes that she alone possesses the qualifications neces- sary to rule as King of Egypt. Upon her hus- band’s death, however, she is left powerless when his designated heir, Thutmose the Third, assumes the throne 2. HATSHEPSUT (CONT’D) and his trusted Vizier, Ahmose Pen-Nekhbet, is appointed the boy’s Regent.

  • ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES in the ARCHAEOLOGY
    ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS, with particular reference to tomb robbery and the caching of the royal mummies This study considers the physical evidence for tomb robbery on the Theban west bank, and its resultant effects, during the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Each tomb and deposit known from the Valley of the Kings is examined in detail, with the aims of establishing the archaeological context of each find and, wherever possible, isolating and comparing the evidence for post-interment activity. The archaeological and documentary evidence pertaining to the royal caches from Deir el-Bahri, the tomb of Amenophis II and elsewhere is drawn together, and from an analysis of this material it is possible to suggest the routes by which the mummies arrived at their final destinations. Large-scale tomb robbery is shown to have been a relatively uncommon phenomenon, confined to periods of political and economic instability. The caching of the royal mummies may be seen as a direct consequence of the tomb robberies of the late New Kingdom and the subsequent abandonment of the necropolis by Ramesses XI. Associated with the evacuation of the Valley tombs may be discerned an official dismantling of the burials and a re-absorption into the economy of the precious commodities there interred.

    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 5, Issue (1/1), June, 2021 The Diplomatic Role of the Royal Women in ancient Egypt Amal Nadi Shoeib1 Magdi Fekri1 Manal Massaud1 1Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, University of Sadat City Abstract Continuing in believing in the idea that our present is an extension of our past, and by searching in the ancient Egyptian history of Egypt which provides an overall view of the nation in good times and in bad. The study tried to emphasis the vital diplomatic role of the ancient Egyptian woman such as Queen Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti, Nefertari, and many other queens had also diplomatic role. One of them applied the sisterhood exactly like the brotherhood between kings, another queen ruled and took decision with her husband and the other depicted herself on the walls as a victorious on her enemy. Keywords: Royal wives and mothers, Foreigner wives, Interior diplomacy. Introduction In ancient Egypt a woman was accorded a relatively high social status. As in any country, at any period of time, mothers of families exercised a degree of authority in the home and commanded a special place in society at large.1 “The ancient Egyptian women in general were able to exert a certain amount of influence outside the domestic sphere ''. This was largely due to the fact that all landed property was passed down through the female line from mother to daughter 2, the reason for such a rule seems to have been based on the assumption that one can be certain only of who one‟s mother is.

  • EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt. 1600–800, 305-30 BC Great Pyramid, Egypt 1 INTRODUCTION “Egypt is a gift from Nile” was the first we learned in grade school about Egypt. In genealogy, we can well claim that Egypt has given us the gift of the earliest ancestral history thanks to its hieroglyphs and other sources now readily available via Internet. There are several sources connecting us to Egyptian ancestors but I have here picked one, listed first, “Byzantine Emperors”, which ties together several of our other ancestral lineages, which I have described in other books. This one lists our ancestors from a most recent (generation 1) to the earliest (generation 87). This sequence is different from most computer genealogy reports which list the lineages from to earliest person to the present. Besides the information in this list, I have gone further back in time using Wikipedia and some other Internet sources. In my lineage list, shown next, I have those of our ancestors highlighted, for which additional information has been provided in the main text. This list ends with Neithiyti Princess of Egypt (81st great grandmother). She was married to Cyrus II the Great King of Persia, our ancestor listed in the Persian Royal Ancestry. Another list is included and ends with the famous Cleopatra and the end of the Egyptian empire as it then became part of the Roman Empire as shown in Roman Early Ancestry. This time period is included in the 1945 novel by Mika Waltari, titled The Egyptian, which is set during the reign of 18th dynasty pharaoh Akhenaten.

In terms of both architecture and grave goods, it is suggested that these three tombs were all made for early Eighteenth Dynasty queens. That TT 358 was carved for Ahmose-Meryetamun is certain, whilst the suggestion that TT 320 was cut for Ahmose-Nofretari is defended.

  • Rate the Pharaohs
    Rate the Pharaohs Menes (ruled 3407 BC – 3346 BC) (Mee-nees) Ancient tradition credits Menes with having united Upper and Lower Egypt into in a single kingdom and becoming the first pharaoh of unified Egypt. According to Manetho (an Egyptian historian who live in around 300 BCE), Menes reigned for 62 years. Menes built the city of Memphis. King Menes built Memphis on the Nile's flood plain. In order to have it on the flood plain and still avoid the water overflow, he constructed a gigantic dam that would redirect the annual floods from the Nile. Menes established worship of the gods in his new city, as well as manners and styles of decoration and sophisticated tastes. He taught the residents of Memphis to cover their tables and couches with beautiful cloths. These dramatic changes to life seemed almost as if they were a gift of the gods. Of course, not all Egyptians could live this way as they were poor and could not afford the expensive tastes of Menes. Menes built the temple of Ptah, who was considered the potter and craftsman of the gods. It was believed that Ptah dreamt creation through his heart, and when he spoke it, the world came into being. Having Upper and Lower Egypt united and further establishing its culture, King Menes and his subjects accumulated surpluses of food. This no doubt, had a huge influence upon the advancement of technology and government that continued for approximately 1,000 years. The trade of food throughout the Mediterranean brought yet more wealth to Memphis.
