Hey guys, I have this 8 page research paper coming up. I decided to write about what electricity is, how it is created, and how does it power tools. My professor said it was too general so could you guys give me a specific topic related to electricity? Something do-able in 8 pages. Not too...

Homework Statement why during chromatography must the paper NOT touch the sides of the test tubes in which the experiment is being carried out? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I am not sure but could our results get smudged or distroted? if so I still can't work out how? could it...

So I see Millinocket (Great Northern Paper) mill made national headlines recently, with the reopening of the East Millinocket plant. It was purchased by an outfit based in Portsmouth, NH. Perhaps a indicator of better days ahead. :smile:

Hi, I am a Physics Major, last summer I did a project in a professor's lab the project produced a paper the professor and post-doc put my name in the author section (not first or second) So my question is, is it OK (appropriate) to put the paper under 'Publications' under my resume? I...

I'm not getting much success with Google - does anyone know where I could find the first paper on cloning ever written?

I have to write a ten page paper on a subject relating to things we have learned in University Physics 1. I'm having a really hard time coming up with something though. It's due Monday and I'm starting to get really stressed about this. Any ideas? (must be related to gravity, energy, and...

The Gravity Dual of the Ising Model http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.1987 A quite interesting paper. Basically they define a way to sum over geometries in 3d pure gravity, they show the sum is finite in some special cases, and they find that for some choice of parameters out pops the 2d ising...

Hello Guys. Maybe you got in the past some similar questions :) I'm a game developer and I'm programming a game with a paper plane and I want to achieve a nearly real physic. What I got so far: trust = the speed when I throw the paper plane. drag = dragcoefficient * airdensity *...

Some of us might be interested by what Percacci has to say about AsymSafe theories. He goes beyond simple AS gravity, considers a combined theory with standard matter, the significance of scale-invariance at the fixed points, and (to me) surprising tie-ins with other theory...

I'm trying to look for papers with funny abstracts (in particular, there is one I saw a while ago, I believe it was physics, that had an abstract that only said no which I am trying to find, but I would love to see other funny one as well.)

I'm doing a report and for one of my topics what dangers are there in the paper and pulp industry?.Also what safety precautions have to be taken in the paper and pulp industry when manufacturing?.Please be very detailed if possible.Thanks

Does anyone know the best place if any for a layman to publish a scientific paper or article?

I'm a freshman taking an intro to astronomy course. I was assigned a research paper on a topic in astronomy. I have to analyze a data set. Can i please have some ideas for topics? These are some examples:  What is the relationship between the mass of a black hole’s singularity and the distance...

Hi all, I am reading a paper related to astrophysics and I am stuck in a step in a calculation. It is about orbiting gas in a spiral galaxy and it calculates the errors in the fitted rotation velocity if one of the viewing angles is incorrectly estimated. My problem is that I don't understand...

if the paper of gravitation( or other physics ) was submitted to the journal : ¿how long i wait for a response of acceptance or rejeccion? i could sent a publication at various journal simulteneously?

For some reason I feel very restricted with using lined paper in notebooks. I think I could organize my thoughts better and take better notes with just plain white paper. If they're loose, I'd lose them and/or crumple them unintentionally. Are there any notebooks out there that are reasonably...

I am looking to write a paper on nuclear power. Our professor said the research/data (has to be peer-reviewed) that I will be using should be no more than 5 years old. What would be a good part of nuclear power to focus on? First I though effect of Japan's disaster on the rest of the...

I need find the thickness of a piece of paper based on the known linear speed of the paper coming off the roll and the change in diameter of the roll. I have the ability to see the linear speed. It is consistant but changes from roll to roll. I know the starting radius, instantaneous radius...

The problem has been highlighted in the attached picture, it's an old exam paper question and I've been trying to do it in preparation for a university exam. I am confident in modelling the structure (into both shear panels and edge members), and confident that I am able to identify both...

In a paper says that the limit when \alpha \to 0 with \sigma = \pm 1 of: \frac{1}{4 \alpha}(1 + \sigma \sqrt{1 - \frac{8}{l^2} \alpha } ) has a well defined limit only when \sigma = - 1 , ¿why??...I don't understand

The title just came to me: "Doubly special relative locality of Bilson-Thompson braids in an asymptotically safe, exceptionally simple E8-valued spin foam"

Some matured opinions are needed here. After a paper being rejected by Phys.Rev. journals (I already signed the copyright transfer) while the editor suggested 'may consider publication on other sections', can I still submit this paper to other non-APS journals? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I have a question about email addresses in a journal paper. It is natural for authors who are professors to leave their .edu email addresses because are rarely changed. But what about for an undergrad? I am graduating in 2 years and the school will delete my account after I...

Hi All, I am trying to figure out how Monkhorst-Pack grits work, but I cannot repeat some results in their paper. (H. J. Monkhorst and J. D. Pack, Special points for Brillouin-zone integrations, 13, 5188, 1976) 1. In equation (9), when |R^b_j - R^a_j|=p, which is not multiples of q...

Hello there forum! I would like to present a paper on quantum computers. Idk where to start from. I have high school level knowledge on quantum mechanics, semester on quantum physics and also the knowledge the feynman lecture vol 3 would give its readers.

I want to write a research paper on general relativity or mathematical physics. I am a college freshman (will become sophomore after this summer) belonging to an engineering major. In this summer break, I have managed to learn about tensors. Currently, I am following the Respected Professor...

Don't expect to learn a lot. They don't prove life is rare and they don't prove it isn't rare. Basically they argue that the evidence we have so far (life's quick appearance on the Earth not long after the surface temperature stabilized in the liquid water range) is not sufficient. They argue...

http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.2732 Abstract "Rough estimates are presented to show that the bump at 1.7 to 1.9 TeV seen in ATLAS-CONF-2010-088 could arise from about 10^{30} approximately degenerate Kaluza-Klein states of the d = 11 supergravity multiplet in the s channel, that could arise from...

I have a paper to write for linear algebra, and it has some mathematical notation, (sums, matrices, things like that). I was wondering what program I might use to type it so it looks pretty like a math test. Always wondered how they did that... I have access to an assortment of programs via the...

Of these twelve candidates, please choose the paper or papers which you think will contribute most significantly to future quantum gravity research. Since multiple choices are possible in the poll, you may select several papers. Abstract summaries follow in the next post. Holonomy...

Hi I use word 2007 for my extended essay in mathe but I can't use subscript in any fraction or function. What program do you gus use to write a paper?

Finkelstein's "unidirectional membrane" paper The "unidirectional membrane" interpretation of black-hole event horizons originated with this paper: Finkelstein, Phys. Rev. 110, 965–967 (1958), "Past-Future Asymmetry of the Gravitational Field of a Point Particle," downloadable from his web...

I just found a paper which was thinking along similar lines: http://casimirinstitute.net/coherence/Jensen.pdf Any comments on why FTL is not possible (after browsing the paper)?

Hey guys, I have to write a term paper over the summer long semester in a University Physics class. I'm completely overwhelmed with topics, and have no clue of what might be too general of a topic as this is my first physics class ever! Of course, we have to use library databases and...

http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.0971" . I regard Koide's relation for the charged lepton masses as the most neglected clue in particle physics. It's amazing that it isn't routinely discussed when people talk about BSM physics. The inherent difficulty of explaining it ought to be attracting...

Hey I'm curious what sort of strategies people use to efficiently read and understand physics papers. I've never really thought much about it until now, but I'm sure some ways are more effective than others. A simple google search yields some excellent tips, but most are geared towards less...

Has anyone read Max Born paper in 1926 where he proposed about the probability amplitude interpretation of the wave function? The original paper is in german. Did he mention that that "Psi is the probability amplitude for an electron in the state n to scatter into the direction m, it is, in a...

I'm about to sell a scientific paper (give authorship to another person), publishable to a moderately high impact factor journal. What would be the price range? :-)

In "Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content?," http://fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/www/ , Einstein says: My interpretation of this is that these energies contain both potential and kinetic terms. A potential energy U is only defined up to an additive constant. If, for...

Consider question 1 in this paper: http://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/postgrad/mathiii/pastpapers/2002/Paper65.pdf How do we "read off" the Feynman rules? I can see that the interaction terms give contributions \lambda_3 , \lambda_4 , \lambda_6 to the relevant 3,4 and 6 point vertices respectively...

Bousso and Susskind have a http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3796" . I have two reasons for creating a thread about a paper which one might otherwise prefer to ignore, as it contains no new quantitative results or ideas for how to obtain them. The first reason is that the paper is bound to get...

Does anyone know what paper this news article is referring to? http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2011/05/19/science-dark-energy-einstein-blake.html I'm thinking it must be this one, http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.2862 but what the paper is saying and the way the article is...

Two years ago an intriguing paper of De Raedt's team concerning Bell's Theorem appeared in Europhysics Letters (http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0907/0907.0767v2.pdf). Now (officially next month), an elaboration on those ideas has been published: Hans De Raedt et al: "Extended...

Hi, I need to find an important, very recent paper in observational astronomy for a journal club presentation. It would help if it is short and easy to read :) . Could someone please suggest one to me? Thanks.

Hi all, I was looking at the buckling problem of a piece of paper with both ends clamped. When the two ends come closes they form a bulb-like shape and I was interested in deriving the shape numerically by solving NL ODE, which comes from energy methods (neglecting gravity). The ODE I got...
