I'm really impressed with volume of this work, but I cannot understand, why Ukrainian cossacks not mentioned at all (mixed with USSR), while really saved independent culture and independent mind. To be exact, peak of cossacks was about

148 keV is not too much. As electronics engineer I few times talked with colleagues about fixing X-ray devices, and there very typical to use voltages 60kV..120kV, which are directly converted to electrons kinetic energy, and than it conver

Yes and no. Most dangerous part of flight is landing, when plane is under mile mark, and don't have much safety margins. For example, I know few people, crashed when engine broken at about 200m (300feet). Fortunately all alive, but reh
