Burmese Eclipse Calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
Two Burmese eclipse calculations, one lunar and one solar, are analysed using examples from a Burmese manuscript. The fundamental parameters are with some important exceptions the same as in the Suryasiddhanta, but the handling of, for instance, parallax in the solar eclipse is different and much simplified. Specific to Burma are also the shadow calculations.

Verification of Monitor unit calculations for eclipse Treatment Planning System by in- house developed spreadsheet
Introduction: Computerized treatment planning is a rapidly evolving modality that depends on hardware and software efficiency. Despite ICRU recommendations suggesting 5% deviation in dose delivery the overall uncertainty shall be less than 3.5% as suggested by B.J. Minjnheer. J. In house spreadsheets are developed by the medical physicists to cross-verify the dose calculated by the Treatment Pl...
متن کاملThe ionospheric responses to the 11 August 1999 solar eclipse: observations and modeling
A total eclipse occurred on 11 August 1999 with its path of totality passing over central Europe in the latitude range 40–50 N. The ionospheric responses to this eclipse were measured by a wide ionosonde network. On the basis of the measurements of foE, foF1, and foF2 at sixteen ionosonde stations in Europe, we statistically analyze the variations of these parameters with a function of eclipse ...
متن کاملEVOLUTION OF THE BURMESE VOWEL SYSTEM By NATHAN W. HILL School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Tibeto-Burman historical linguistics has relied heavily on the spelling of Burmese and Tibetan words as found in standard modern dictionaries, at the expense of the earliest attested records. This examination of the development of the Burmese vowel system, in the light of early Burmese philological data and comparisons to Old Chinese and Old Tibetan, facilitates a refined understanding of Burme...
متن کاملAttenuation of global ultraviolet and visible irradiance over Greece during the total solar eclipse
The variability of ultraviolet and photosynthetically active radiation during the total solar eclipse of 29 March 2006 was examined in this study. The measurements from NILU-UV multichannel actinometers at 7 stations of the Greek UV Network were used, where the maximum eclipse percentage ranged from 73.1% to 94.8%. In addition, 5 an extra instrument was established at a remote Greek island, Kas...
متن کاملFinality Constraints in Burmese – History and Synchrony
This paper will outline some of the restrictions on what can and cannot appear at the end of a Burmese word. We will see that historical changes have resulted in a rather unusual phonotactic distribution. By looking at how Burmese speakers treat foreign loanwords in their language, it will be revealed what phonological principles the Burmese have generated in order to make sense of their phonot...
