Nyctimystes kuduki is a tree frog from Papua New Guinea. It lives on mountains with rainforests in Southern Highlands Province. The adult male frog is 58.2 to 61.0 mm long from nose to rear end, which is large for a frog in "Nyctimystes". It has yellow or gold veins on its lower eyelids. The male frog sits on leaves over fast-flowing streams and sings for female frogs. It has very small ears for a "Nyctimystes" frog. It has very large, dark brown eyes. It has two big groups of vomerine teeth in its upper jaw. This frog has dark brown and light brown skin. Some parts of its legs are yellow. It has a dull white belly. It has white spots on its back and eyelids. Scientists named this frog after Max Kuduk, who worked for the World Wide Fund for Nature.

Le Chaudron infernal is a French silent trick movie made in 1903. It was directed by Georges Méliès. In Britain it was released as The Infernal Cauldron and in the United States as The Infernal Caldron and the Phantasmal Vapors. It was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 499–500 in its catalogues. Plot. In a Renaissance chamber decorated with devilish faces and a warped coat of arms, a gleeful Satan throws three human victims into a cauldron, which spews out flames. The victims rise from the cauldron as nebulous ghosts, and then turn into fireballs. The fireballs multiply and pursue Satan around the chamber. Finally Satan himself leaps into the infernal cauldron, which gives off a final burst of flame. Versions. The movies Meliès did before 1903 were often pirated by American producers. This is especially true for his popular movie "A Trip to the Moon". To fight against this product piracy, Méliès opened an American branch of his Star Film Company. He began producing two negatives of each movie he made: one for home markets, and one for foreign release. To produce the two separate negatives, Méliès built a special camera that used two lenses and two reels of film. In the 2000s, researchers at the French film company Lobster Films noticed that Méliès's two-lens system was a fully functional, stereo film camera. 3D versions of Meliè' movies could e made by combining the domestic and foreign prints of the film. Serge Bromberg, the founder of Lobster Films, presented 3D versions of "The Infernal Cauldron" and another 1903 Méliès film, "The Oracle of Delphi", at a January 2010 presentation at the Cinémathèque Française. According to the film critic Kristin Thompson, "the effect of 3D was delightful … the films as synchronized by Lobster looked exactly as if Méliès had designed them for 3D." Bromberg screened both films again—as well as the 1906 Méliès film "The Mysterious Retort", similarly prepared for 3D—at a September 2011 presentation at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

A Majorana fermion(), also referred to as a Majorana particle, is a fermion that has the same properties as its antiparticle. Ettore Majorana, an Italian physicist, thought they would exist, in 1937. Majorana disappeared in 1938, and the particles are named after him. As Majorana fermionns are thought to have the same properties as their antiparticles, they cannot have an electric charge. Today, atomic particles with an electric charge are called Dirac fermions. An example for Dirac fermions are electrons, and positrons; they have the same properties, but their electric charge is different.  Neutrinos do not have an electric charge, and might be Majorana fermions, but their status is unclear Theory. The concept goes back to Majorana's suggestion of 1937. Majorana suggested that neutral spin- particles can be described by a real wave equation (the Majorana equation). The wave functions of particle and antiparticle are related by complex conjugation. For this reason, they would be identical to their antiparticle. The difference between Majorana fermions and Dirac fermions can be expressed mathematically in terms of the creation and annihilation operators of second quantization: The creation operator formula_1 creates a fermion in quantum state formula_2 (described by a "real" wave function), whereas the annihilation operator formula_3 annihilates it (or, equivalently, creates the corresponding antiparticle). For a Dirac fermion the operators formula_1 and formula_3 are distinct, whereas for a Majorana fermion they are identical. The ordinary fermionic annihilation and creation operators formula_6 and formula_7 can be written in terms of two Majorana operators formula_8 and formula_9 by  formula_10  formula_11 In supersymmetry models, neutralinos—superpartners of gauge bosons and Higgs bosons—are Majorana. Standard model of particle physics. The standard model of physics has no Majorana fermions, all particles are Dirac fermions. There are neutrinos, and anti-neutrinos. In the standard model, neutrinos

Numen, pl. numina, is a Latin term. It is used for "divinity", a "divine presence" or a "divine will." The Latin authors defined it as follows. Cicero writes of a "divine mind" ("divina mens"), a god "whose numen everything obeys," and a "divine power" ("vis divina") "which pervades the lives of men." It causes the motions and cries of birds during augury. In his Aeneid, Virgil tells about the how the one-eyed giant, Polyphemus, is blinded: First, Odysseus and his men "ask for the assistance of the great numina" ("magna precati numina"). Reviewing public opinion of Augustus on the day of his funeral, the historian Tacitus reports that some thought "no honor was left to the gods" when he "established the cult of himself" ("se ... coli vellet") "with temples and the effigies of numina" ("effigie numinum"). Pliny the younger in a letter to Paternus raves about the "power," the "dignity," and "the majesty;" in short, the ""numen" of history." Lucretius uses the expression "numen mentis", or "bidding of the mind," where "bidding" is "numen", not, however, the divine numen, unless the mind is to be considered divine, but as simply human will. Since the early 20th century, numen has sometimes been treated in the history of religion as a pre-animistic phase. This is a belief system that comes from an earlier time. Sociologists also use the term "Numen" to refer to the idea of magical power coming from an object, particularly when writing about ideas in the western tradition. When used in this sense, "numen" means almost the same thing as "mana". However, some authors only use the word "mana" for ideas about magic from Polynesia and Southeast Asia. Etymology. The literal meaning is simply "a nod", or more accurately,"that which
