Preparation of the team, preparation of equipment for those experiments that made it possible to discover the six heaviest elements, that really was, well, in my opinion, some kind of miracle, at that time the laboratory was headed by yuri savakovich oganisyan, he managed to assemble an international team, in addition to the countries, members of the institute, it included american laboratories, the largest american laboratories , leversky and okrich, so we have 116 livermore and 117, tennessee, where the okrich National Laboratory is located, were able to concentrate efforts in order to bring the technology to this level sensitivity, so that experiments that have not been possible for about 1520 years anywhere in the world, it becomes possible to do them, indeed the technology can be improved, well. Hundreds of times, lets discuss this question how is a new element, in quotes, made . I understand that now a whole factory of superheavy elements has been built in dubna, thats the offici
Discovered it, you can shout earth, you can shout earth, you can shout earth, because these are the experiments that were done in dubna at the beginning of the millennium, they just prove that the island of stability exists, we did not get to its center, we have not yet been able to see these most stable isotopes, we have not been able to synthesize them, but we have actually reached the shore of the island of stability, we see. That as we take small steps towards the island , the lifetime is growing quite quickly, that is , there, well, on average, adding one neutron to a superheavy element, we increase the lifetime by about 10 times, yeah, this is really a gigantic figure, which suggests that we see this height stability and we very, very, very much hope that indeed such elements in the very center will live for these predicted thousands, maybe millions of years. Well, you are talking about an increase in the number of neutrons, yes, but if we talk about protons, your vertical ruler
Helium and so on, in the upper right corner we will have the heaviest nuclei, and then the stability of nuclei, it resembles some kind of marine theme, because there is something similar to a continent, which ends with the eightysecond element lead and bismuth, which. Are the heaviest, most stable elements, that is, elements that have a stable isotope, there is a certain peninsula , where tori uranium is located, these are like this, this is how uranium is depicted as such a beacon, the last element in the natural periodic table, and then we see how the stability of the elements decreases, decreases, falls and we actually reach the edge of the world of nuclei, to the edge light, yes, that same one. And indeed it was predicted in the sixties , it was predicted that if we go to very heavy elements, in the region of element 114, which is already known today, but the truth is with a gigantic number of neutrons 184, if we can synthesize such a nucleus, then it will really live long, how lon
Special favorite of the law comment in the validation of the public accommodations provision reaches less far than has been conventionally imagined. Bradley is preserving the availability of the statement concept. He is preserving it in a context where the republican administrations are making headway and are using Voting Rights theory that he has already provided. He is saying, in this context where you are already using 16th amendment exemption in federal amendment law, im keeping the state neglect law available. He is the one that first made it available in 1874. It was the klan lawyers that attacked his theory before the court in 1876. This was his first chance since then to be articulated and re articulate it he does. Its vital to see that. Newspapers see this. Newspaper coverage sees this concept of the state neglect in civil rights cases. Again, i give you an excerpt from the chicago tribune. Lots of coverage of the Supreme Court cases in the reconstruction era. The tribune the
[inaudible conversations] good morning. The committee will come to order. Id like to welcome you all to our second bubble confirmation hearing of this anon girls feet. I would like to start by thanking senator korn and for being here to speak on behalf of our nominee is. Always good to have you. Our fellow committee member, senator mention from West Virginia is prepared to also offer introductory remarks for a nominee. Governor perry, i would like to extend a warm welcome to you and to your family. Know that i appreciate your desire to serve, your willingness to become our next secretary of energy. Ive enjoyed the meeting that we had together, learning more about your leadership as governor of the state of texas, including your accomplishments in the area of energy and environment. Im going to withhold this morning and a reference to text size versus alaska size. Weve had that discussion. But in all seriousness, we know that you are seeking to leave the department of energy at an inter
