Greetings, for the school I must find some information about the building of a small close wind tunnel . Some one know where to find it? Good day!

There the well known theorem that every open set (I'm talking about R here with standard topology) is the union of disjoint open intervals. Now, looking at the geometry, it seems that between any two adjacent open intervals which are in the union constituting our open set there is a closed...

Homework Statement show that (the range of) a sequence of points in a metric space is in general not a closed set. Show that it may be a closed set. 2. The attempt at a solution I don't know where to start. For example, if we are given a sequence of real numbers and the distance...

f(x)=1/x closed set?? A book I'm reading now says the graph of f(x)=1/x is a closed set, how come?? Its range is [(-\infty,0)\cup (0, \infty). A set is closed iff every convergent sequence has a limit point in the set. If a sequence converges to 0, then 0 is not in the range

Hi, i want to understand how fundamental group of a closed oriented 3-mfd determines all its homology and cohomology gorups. Please can you help me.

Assume X is a metric space, then X and the empty set are both closed and open, am I correct?

In a closed piping system (such as a chilled or hot water system in a tall building), is the water pressure at the top less than that at the bottom? Bernoulli's equation would lead you to believe that it is, but I cannot find anything explicitly stating that this applies to closed systems...

Homework Statement 1. Find an uncountable number of subsets of metric spaces \left(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{p}\right) and \left(\mathbb{C}^{n},d_{p}\right) that are neither open nor closed. 2. If 1\leq p<q , then the unit ball in \left(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{p}\right) is contained in the unit ball in...

Hi, one of the problems that inflation right after the Big Bang solves is the horizon problem. While this post is not really related to inflation, I was wondering why a closed universe is not a more favorable candidate for the solution to that problem, rather than inflation. Perhaps I...

Homework Statement If Dr is a closed disk of radius r centered at (a,b) find lim r->0 (1/pir2) \int\intfdA over Dr. The Attempt at a Solution From mean value equality, \int\int fdA = f(x,y)A(D) where A(D) is the area of the region which here is pir2. So the lhs becomes lim r->0 f(x,y)...

Hello everyone, curious about something here. I saw a demonstration lately were a magnet was dropped down a copper pipe and the magnet dropped very much slower than expected. What I got to thinking was, if you replaced the copper pipe with the same quantity of insulated copper wire in a...

Hi Guys, What does the term Closed form solution mean?

Hello, If I put a voltmeter over a (pn-junction) diode, do I measure anything? I would intuitively say "no". Is the following picture correct? So let's say the P-region is to the right, N-region to the left. If I were to attach a voltmeter across it, I'd have to attach a metal wire...

UC Davis department admissions closed?!? (Anger enclosed) So UC Davis dropped a damn bombshell on me this morning. I applied to the universities Department of Applied Science Graduate Program for the Fall 2011 semester. I get an e-mail this morning, MARCH 31ST, that I'm not even rejected, BUT...

Hi, Everyone: I have a quadratic form q, defined on Z⁴ , and I know the value of q on each of the four basis vectors ( I know q is not linear, and there is a sort of "correction" for non-bilinearity between basis elements , whose values --on all pairs (a,b) of...

Hi All, I've come across a theorem that I'm trying to prove, which states that: The quotient group G/H is a discrete group iff the normal subgroup H is open. In fact I'm only really interested in the direction H open implies G/H discrete.. To a lesser extent I'm also interested in the H...

So I am reading a text written by my Thermodinamics professor and I find something that I still can't accept. "(Sistema fechado) É aquele que não troca massa. (...) Um sistema fechado é dito isolado quando não troca energia. Entretanto, essa definição de sistema não é consistente com a teoria...

Hey guys, i just started taking a course on ST and so far we discuss the closed string following Green, Schwarz, Witten. I don't see the point of constructing the Virasoro algebra (formula 2.1.85 in GSW) if the corresponding generators are zero due to the constraints. Or to put it differently...

I can't seem to find an equation that fits the situation I am facing. Either that, or I just don't believe the answer the current equations are providing. I am trying to develop the size for an air compressor to fill up a train braking sytem. I have equations for most of the system, but I...

I have a question about the Remark on the page posted. When it says "If γ and all its derivatives take the same value at a and b, there is a unique way to extend γ to a (b − a)-periodic (smooth) curve γ : R → R^n" what does this exactly mean? I suppose that the condition that the derivatives...

Say, all objects in a closed Universe are neutral, and there is only 1 (unbalanced) positive charge. Lines of an electric field started on a positive charge can end only on the negative charge or they go into infinity. But in a closed universe there are no negative charges nor they can go...

Standing waves have a fundamental frequency equal to 4x the length of the pipe if the pipe is closed at one end and open at the other end. So, blowing across the top of a 33.2 cm bottle should produce a fundamental frequency of v/4L or about 340/1.2= 283 hz. When I record the sound produced...

Hello, I am having trouble finding an example of a set in R^2 that is neither open nor closed. I have already shown the half open interval [0,1) is neither open nor closed, but I can't seem to find any other examples. Can someone push me in the right direction? Would x^2+ y^2<1 be open nor...

The 2nd law of thermodynamics refers to closed systems. 1. If we imagine a universe of infinite extent but where only one object exists that emits e/m waves, is that a closed system? 2. If we imagine a universe where only two asteroids exist and are orbiting each other, and a machine between...
