    Formation of Silver Nanoparticles from Green Tea Reducing Equivalents

    Hi everyone, This is my first thread so I'll try to be as clear as possible and try to follow the rules. My job is to synthesize silver nanoparticles, characterize them (TEM, DLS, EDAX, Z-POT), and then pass then on to the toxicologists. This is my thesis work to graduate. A new thing I have...

    Question about Green, Schwarz, Witten Appendix 4.A on N=1SYM

    It's really just a dumb question about spinors. The book says that for N=1 SYM, in 3 or 4D we use Majorana spinors. In 6D we use Weyl spinors. And in 10D we use Majorana-Weyl spinors, so that the number of fermionic states matches D-2. My questions is, in 4D, Weyl spinors (chiral spinors)...

    TD Go Green Challenge - Save the Earth & Preserve Astronomy

    This isn't even for the campus where I go to school, but as an amateur astronomer, I feel that this message should be spread everywhere. http://www.tdgogreenchallenge.com/video/p/1/playid/149/id/149/ Light pollution is something more than a nuisance to astronomers, it is also something that is...

    NIH fellowship eligibility on partial green card approval

    Hi, This may be very specific - NIH fellowships generally require US citizenship or permanent residency. I am wondering if an approved I-140 is good enough to get through the door. Does anyone here know about this? Thanks.

    Violet light produced from green He-Ne laser?

    I was setting up a 2.0 mW, unpolarized 543 nm (green) He-Ne laser today when I discovered something odd. I was using an iris diaphragm (like these: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=206) to align the beam parallel to the laser table. I found that if I placed a white...

    Understanding the Science Behind Blue + Yellow = Green Perception

    We perceive blue light mixed with yellow light to be equivalent to green light. Does this have more to due with the way the wavelengths interact or some other physical phenomena or is it a biological phenomena

    Making bacteria express green fluorescent protein - could it decrease fitness?

    Since it obviously takes energy and extra amino acids to express the green fluorescent protein, so it's possible that bacteria expressing GFP might have slightly lower fitness (on average) than bacteria that aren't expressing GFP. I'm sure the effect is negligible in most cases. But maybe...

    About the n-point Green functions in position-space

    When we want to calculate the n-point function in the position space, it's always very difficult. For example, when we're calculate the 3-point function of \phi^3 theory in position space, we would get an integral \int d^4 z \frac{1}{|z-x_1|^2|z-x_2|^2|z-x_3|^2} It seems hard to integrate it...

    Medical Opponent process theory: why do I see green after looking at white?

    This morning, I was lying on my bed, looking at the bright morning light coming in through the window. The blinds (which are white) were at least half shut, so much of the light was filtered through them. I then stared up at the ceiling, and saw a nebulous patch of green. I shut my eyes, and...

    Exploring the Resolving Power of Green Bank's 300-ft Telescope

    Question: Before it collapsed in 1989, Green Bank's 300-foot diameter telescope mapped the sky in H I. What was its resolving power? I believe the formula you would use is resolving power = (wavelength in microns) / (diameter in meters) So the diameter in meters would be about 91.44 m, but...

    Is There a Simple Formula for the Green Function of the Klein-Gordon Equation?

    There exists very simple formula for Green function for wave equation: G(t,x,t',x') = \delta (t-t'\pm \frac{|x-x'|}{c})/|x-x'| . I wonder whether there exist similar formula for Green function for Klein-Gordon equation (with mass >0) for any boundary condition.

    What is the Greenhouse Effect and How Does it Impact Our Planet?

    I don't understand the green house effect. According to wikipedia, the green house effect is the result of non-directional re-emission of thermal radiation after being reflected from the ground from water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide etc., but shouldn't it cancel itself out? Shouldn't just as...
