Paper Definition and 1000 Threads

I got good news..sorta... My paper got rejected by the editors from a journal because it was 'too complex' 'too forbidding' for its audience. That's good news because at least I know the caliber of my work isn't 'basic'. I was concerned that my works was based too much off calculus concepts...

Homework Statement How could u find the drag/friction due to air on a A4 size page dropped perpendicular to the ground. There are about 20 sheets and is dropped about waist height. The tricky thing is no instruments are aloud. Only your senses... Homework Equations F=-cv where c is...

Homework Statement My friend and I are attempting to figure out what the coefficient of friction is of a stack of paper (say, 100 sheets). Through our research, we've found that the coefficient of friction (\mu) is the maximum possible static friction force (F) divided by the normal force...

Hi all, I'm writing my IB extended essay in history (the IB is an international high school curriculum; I'm a senior in high school). I know normally for a work in translation you are supposed to credit both the author and the translator, but one of the works I translated myself (I can read...

I have recently had an interesting experience that I would like to get other people's input on. In October 2007 I submitted a paper to a reputable journal. In May 2008 I received a rejection email from the editor. I responded by arguing that the reviewer's comment (a single liner for a 50 page...

Homework Statement i have this exam paper question. derive an expression for transfer function find expression for the magnitude and phase of the response i have attached circuit diagram below 2. The attempt at a solution i derived for first question Vo= 2RC(dVi/dt) -...

Rightly or wrongly, there's considerable excitement about a paper which a postdoc theorist at CERN, Bob McElrath, recently posted. One physics blogger headlined his comment "Dark matter is a quantum liquid." The headline may itself be a misinterpretation of what McElrath is saying but I couldn't...

Assuming that I understood correctly one claim from the Riemann's On the Number of Prime Numbers less than a Given Quantity, then if we define a function \psi:]0,\infty[\to\mathbb{R},\quad \psi(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} e^{-n^2\pi x}, it satisfies an equation 2\psi(x) + 1 =...

Einstein's "The Field Equations of Gravitation" Paper I'm trying to find a translated copy of this paper - but i can't find one anywhere! The 1905 papers are all over the place; i thought the this would be similar. Does anyone have a copy, or recommendations on where to look? Thanks...

Jus some confusion over plotting points on normal probability paper.. 1. Order the data 2. Do we do (i-0.5)/n where i=no. of observation and n= no. of samples? believe can't use Z(i)= (X(i)- Mean)/ stand. dev. as i need to find both mean and std. dev from the graph... What is the graph...

This is just a little observation , if you could confirm, or explain a theory behind it => if we start with one dimention we have one line to get to 2D we draw the shape (here a line) somewhere else, and draw lines that connect them (here 2) then to get to the third, we again draw the...

I get the impression that people who review research papers want to see recent papers listed in the bibliography. To me, this implies that I would have to list papers that are not neither the biggest landmarks nor the most relevant. When I do research, it's mostly my own thing. It's...

Which of these 3rd quarter 2008 papers do you predict will prove most valuable to future research? Significant papers tend to be cited more in subsequent research---we will soon have citation counts to go by, on some of these, as well as subjective judgment. Polling let's us share information as...

Hello all. This fall I'm applying to several colleges, the top two of which are Bennington College and Wesleyan University. I'm fairly certain of acceptance to both but as a part of the admissions process I need to submit an analytical paper, passed in and graded by a teacher. Since I wish to...

Sorry to bug you all, but I have a question to ask. I have a bit of a worrying problem, so when I first heard about the LHC, some of the fear mongering got to me. However, after some research, my worrying nearly ceased. However, I ran into this paper today, and it says there may be a bit of a...

How many pages go out for every page that goes in? I would be amazed if it were higher than 50%.

unfortunatly i have lost a question paper which has questions like y''+y'+y=sinx or =e^2x or =X+2-4+e^2x or=2^-3x+5E^-5e etc etc, i have the questions and answers for the y''+y'+y=0 format questions but none of the non zero questions so my question is 2 fold first of all how do i go about...

Will I require any physics degree to publish a paper? I am a computer Science student, but love theo. phy. till the core of my heart Will I be able to publish papers without any physics degree, and just by studying at home?

What can you do with toilet paper ? I can use a piece to create a white rose. I am now learning to fold up a plane, but seems that toilet paper doesn't fit for this task, I am thinking including some adhesive tape to hardening the wings.

Recently one of my papers was rejected from a journal. I expected the referee would ask for some changes and additions, but instead it was rejected. I doubt if the referee really understood the main aim of my paper. Also the report surprisingly does not give details of the objections the referee...

hi, this is a simple question. I think reading an ebook on the computer screen is LESS effective then reading a paper books. Sometimes, my eyes feel pain especiall the ebook scrolling on the screen. So, I think it's more effective and healthy way to read on papers. Do you think so? Hope...

Hi All, On some other scientific forums, it is possible to submit alternative theories papers. These papers are of course, discussed following the scientific rule "All things being equal...". Is there such a section in Physics Forums?

Major paper by Fairbairn--a way to put matter into 4D quantum gravity I expect this paper will "raise the dead" in the sense of evoking a comment from John Baez :-). It develops some lines of research he was working on three years ago. It references work by Derek Wise, a Baez PhD----also...

I'm reading a paper and I came across a passage that seems wrong. The context is describing axioms for a system ZFU, with an operation \dot F that relates urelements to natural numbers. \dot U(v) holds exactly when v is an urelement. The first line, then, says that \dot F(u,v) is a relation...

What exactly is the criteria for a research paper to get published? It seems that few papers contain major breakthroughs like the cloning of a sheep. A lot of papers seem to be contain incomplete ideas, and a lot of times papers seem to discuss ideas that were developed by someone other than...

I'm getting a little stuck on terminology, but most of it can be looked up in wikipedia. However, there's one term I'm having trouble with. The paper is for a model of micrometeorites entering the atmosphere. It says: "Entry velocities ranged between 11.2 and 72 km/sec following a v^-5,394...

In this case, on the top corner of the book. I occasionally buy some of my books used, and they have stickers and stamps on them. I generally don't mind but this one is on the top of the book when the book is closed (on the top of the page), and it is some ink stamp. I tried removing it...
