Usage notes
It is much used in Scotland, the north and Midlands of England, the northern counties of Ireland, North Wales, as well as in Australia and New Zealand (where it may follow rather than precede a statement). Also notably seen in viva voce voting in legislative bodies, etc., or in nautical contexts.
Thoth (/θoʊθ, toʊt/; from Koinē Greek: Θώθ thṓth, borrowed from Coptic: Ⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ, the reflex of Ancient Egyptian: ḏḥwtj "[He] is like the Ibis") is an ancient Egyptian deity. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat, and his wife was Ma'at. He was the god of the moon, wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment. His Greek equivalent is Hermes.
Hermes Trismegistus (from Ancient Greek: Ἑρμῆς ὁ Τρισμέγιστος, "Hermes the Thrice-Greatest"; Classical Latin: Mercurius ter Maximus) is a legendary Hellenistic figure that originated as a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. He is the purported author of the Hermetica, a widely diverse series of ancient and medieval pseudepigraphical texts that lay the basis of various philosophical systems known as Hermeticism.
Hermes Trismegistus may be associated with the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Greeks in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt recognized the equivalence of Hermes and Thoth through the interpretatio graeca. Consequently, the two gods were worshiped as one, in what had been the Temple of Thoth in Khemenu, which was known in the Hellenistic period as Hermopolis.
A Mycenaean Greek reference to a deity or semi-deity called ti-ri-se-ro-e (Linear B: 𐀴𐀪𐀮𐀫𐀁; Tris Hḗrōs, "thrice or triple hero") was found on two Linear B clay tablets at Pylos and could be connected to the later epithet "thrice great", Trismegistos, applied to Hermes/Thoth.

In 1992 Allen et al. recognized that light beams could carry an angular momentum in addition to that arising from the photon spin. This orbital angular momentum can be created using lenses or diffractive optics, the later often formed using liquid crystal displays. Both whole beams and single photons can carry this twist, and transfer it to particles causing them to spin. This paper introduces the underlying principles of orbital angular momentum and reviews a number of its manifestations and applications. These effects highlight how optics still contains surprises and opportunities for manipulation, imaging and communication in both the classical and quantum worlds.
a) A Poincaré sphere representation of polarization and the Poincaré sphere equivalent for LaguerreGaussian and Hermite Gaussian first-order modes
We observe the frequency shift, lOmega, imparted to a mm-wave beam with an orbital angular momentum of lh per photon, when the beam is rotated at angular frequency Omega. We show that this shift, and those found in a number of experiments on the rotation of circularly polarized beams, are special cases of the rotational frequency shift recently predicted by Bialynicki-Birula and Bialynicka-Birula. The measurement also explicitly confirms a theoretical prediction by Nienhuis.
Orbital angular momentum is one of two forms of angular momentum of light. OAM is distinct from, and should not be confused with, light spin angular momentum. The spin angular momentum of light offers only two orthogonal quantum states corresponding to the two states of circular polarization, and can be demonstrated to be equivalent to a combination of polarization multiplexing and phase shifting. OAM on the other hand relies on an extended beam of light, and the higher quantum degrees of freedom which come with the extension. OAM multiplexing can thus access a potentially unbounded set of states, and as such offer a much larger number of channels, subject only to the constraints of real-world optics.
As of 2013, although OAM multiplexing promises very significant improvements in bandwidth when used in concert with other existing modulation and multiplexing schemes, it is still an experimental technique, and has so far only been demonstrated in the laboratory. Following the early claim that OAM exploits a new quantum mode of information propagation, the technique has become controversial, with numerous studies suggesting it can be modelled as a purely classical phenomenon by regarding it as a particular form of tightly modulated MIMO multiplexing strategy, obeying classical information theoretic bounds.
As of 2020, new evidence from radio telescope observations suggests that radio-frequency orbital angular momentum may have been observed in natural phenomena on astronomical scales, a phenomenon which is still under investigation.
Radio astronomy
In 2019, a letter published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society presented evidence that OAM radio signals had been received from the vicinity of the M87* black hole, over 50 million light-years distant, suggesting that optical angular momentum information can propagate over astronomical distances.
mid 16th century: via Latin from Greek astronomikos, from astronomia (see astronomy).
from Ancient Greek ἀστρονομία (astronomía), from ἄστρον (ástron, “star”) + νόμος (nómos, “law”).
Mia is believed to originally stem from the ancient Egyptian word Mr, which means beloved.
From Ancient Greek Μαῖα (Maîa).
Proper noun
Maia f sg (genitive Maiae); first declension
Maia, specifically:
(Greek mythology) Daughter of Atlas and mother of Hermes.
(Roman mythology) The goddess of growth after whom the month May (Latin māius) was named.
(astronomy) A star in the constellation Taurus. It is the fourth brightest star in the Pleiades cluster.
Maia bears the titles "wet nurse of the king", "educator of the god's body" and "great one of the harem". Her origin and relatives are not known. Apart from Tutankhamun, the Overseer of the Magazine Rahotep, the High Priest of Thoth, and scribes named Tetinefer and Ahmose are mentioned in inscriptions. Due to the close resemblance of Maia with Tutankhamun's sister Meritaten, it was suggested that the two are identical
Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at) who stood on either side of Ra's solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, the arts of magic, the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.
maintainability (countable and uncountable, plural maintainabilities)
The ease with which something can be maintained.
