RUSSIAN DENVER / HORIZON <strong>N22</strong>/<strong>851</strong> от 06.10.2016 e-mail: info@gorizont.com Simply the best 20 report, the researchers wrote in the study, published today (June 6) in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The researchers found that after five years, the people in the olive oil group had lost a small but statistically significant amount of weight, compared to the control group: The people in the olive oil group lost about 1 lb. (0.4 kilograms) more, on average, than those in the control group. The people in the nut group also lost a small amount of weight as well, compared to the control group. However, the difference between the olive oil group and the nut group was not statistically significant (meaning it could have been due to chance). In addition, both the olive oil and nut groups experienced slight reductions in their waist circumferences compared to the control group, according to the study. The key finding is that neither diet, although rich in fats, led to weight gain or increases in waist circumference, Estruch told Live Science. The researchers noted that although the participants in the olive oil and nut groups were not instructed to limit their calorie intake, the people in both groups did end up consuming fewer calories on average than they had consumed before the study started. This may have been due to the filling effects of fat, the researchers wrote in their study. Maintaining a certain body weight requires balancing the calories you consume versus the calories you burn, but it seems that calories from vegetable fats have different effects on weight than calories from animal fats, Estruch said. Though the participants in the study were overweight or obese older adults, Estruch said that he believes that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet on weight and waist circumference could extend to people of any age and weight, including young men and women. This is not the first study to suggest that eating more plantbased fats does not lead to a larger waistline. The results of this study are consistent with a range of observational studies suggesting that eating more fat is not linked to a change in people’s weights, said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and the dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, Surprising Echo of Ancient Irish Horns in Indian Instruments who was not involved in the new study. Mozaffarian wrote an editorial that was published alongside the study in the journal. People should focus more on eating healthy foods, rather than worrying about dietary fats, Mozaffarian told Live Science. The new study may in fact have underestimated the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, Mozaffarian added. Because the study took place in Spain, where people already eat a Mediterranean-style diet, there may not have been as big a change in eating patterns as there would have been if people had shifted from an American-style diet, for example, he said. By Greg Uyeno It was a musical link to the past hidden in plain sight: Some modern horns played in India and neighboring regions bear a striking resemblance to ancient Irish instruments that date back to Europe’s Bronze and Iron Ages, according to a new study. The comparisons suggest sustained cultural exchange between the two regions, and could help researchers to understand the origins of some Indian instruments and to reconstruct the sounds of ancient Irish music. «Some horns are frankly shockingly similar, to the point where it is like witnessing time travel,» study author Billy ? Foghl? told Live Science in an email. ? Foghl? is an archaeologist and Ph.D. student at the Australian National University in Canberra. «If I were to find one of these modern Indian instruments in an Irish archaeological excavation and I didn’t know what I was looking at, I would likely assume it was a Late Bronze Age Irish artifact.» In a new study published in April in the Journal of Indian Ocean Archaeology, ? Foghl? compared ancient horns from around Europe with modern South Indian counterparts. He focused on the version of what is called a kompu from Kerala, India: a large, C-shaped horn cast in bronze with a high tin content. It is similar to Late Bronze Age horns from Ireland and Scandinavia in form, materials and, likely, production process, ? Foghl? said. He also noted that other types of horns found in India are «almost identical» to instruments from other parts of Irish history. ? Foghl? said he was inspired to investigate this musical connection after he saw an image from the exterior of a Buddhist monument. The carving depicts two musicians playing the carnyx, a distinctive bronze Irish horn in the form of an animal King Tut’s Blade Made of Meteorite head. Known as the Great Stupa, the monument is located at Sanchi in central India and is more than 2,000 years old. But the similarities between the instruments aren’t just physical, ? Foghl? said. Modern Keralan kompu horns in India are part of an ensemble, in which they are used percussively and rhythmically, perhaps more musically akin to a drum than a trumpet. The tuning of these instruments, which can sound out of tune with each other to the unpracticed ear, may also provide clues about how the ancient European horns were played, says ? Foghl?. «It is the musicological similarities of these instruments that are really wonderful,» ? Foghl? said By Rossella Lorenzi King Tut was buried with a dagger made of an iron that literally came from space, says a new study into the composition of the iron blade from the sarcophagus of the boy king. Using non-invasive, portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, a team of Italian and Egyptian researchers confirmed that the iron of the dagger placed on the right thigh of King Tut’s mummified body a has meteoric origin. The team, which include researchers from Milan Polytechnic, Pisa University and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, detailed their results in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The weapon, now on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, was described in 1925 by Howard Carter, who three years before had discovered the treasure-packed tomb, as «a highly ornamented gold dagger with crystal knob.» Made of non-rusted, homogeneous metal, the finely manufactured blade features a decorated gold handle. It is completed by a gold sheath garnished with a floral lily motif on one side and with a feathers pattern on the other side, terminating with a jackal’s head. Now dramatic technological improvements have allowed the researchers to determine the composition of the blade. «Meteoric iron is clearly indicated by the presence of a high percentages of nickel,» main author Daniela Comelli, at the department of Physics of Milan Polytechnic, told Discovery News. Indeed, iron meteorites are mostly made of iron and nickel, with minor quantities of cobalt, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon. While artifacts produced with iron ore quarrying display 4 percent of nickel at most, the iron blade of King Tut’s dagger was found to contain nearly 11 percent of nickel. Further confirmation of the blade’s meteoric origin came from cobalt traces. «The nickel and cobalt ratio in the dagger blade is consistent with that of iron meteorites that have preserved the primitive chondritic ratio during planetary differentiation in the early solar system,» Comelli said. Comelli and colleagues also investigated the possible source of the iron blade. «We took into consideration all meteorites found within an area of 2,000 km in radius centered in the Red Sea, and we ended up with 20 iron meteorites,» Comelli said. «Only one, named Kharga, turned out to have nickel and cobalt contents which are possibly consistent with the composition of the blade,» she added. The meteorite fragment was found in 2000 on a limestone plateau at Mersa Matruh, a seaport some 150 miles west of Alexandria. The study shows the ancient Egyptians attributed great value to meteoritic iron for the production of precious objects, possibly perceiving those chunks of iron falling from the sky as a divine message. The most ancient Egyptian iron artifacts, nine small beads excavated from a cemetery along the west bank of the Nile tomb in Gerzeh and dated about 3200 BC, are also made from meteoritic iron hammered into thin sheets. «It would be very interesting to analyze more pre-Iron Age artifacts, such as other iron objects found in King Tut’s tomb. We could gain precious insights into metal working technologies in ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean,» Comelli said. She noted that the high quality of King Tut’s dagger blade shows that iron smithing was successful already in the 14th century B.C. The dagger blade is not the only celestial object found in the boy king’s tomb. His pectoral, or necklace, features an amulet scarab which is not «greenishyellow chalcedony,» as Carter had noted, but Libyan desert silica glass. The glass was produced by the impact on the sand of a meteorite or comet. Such natural glass exists only in the remote and inhospitable Great Sand Sea of Egypt– the Western Desert. In order to produce the scarab, the ancient Egyptians would have had to trek across 500 desert miles
