Response Definition and 538 Threads

Response to Deleted Thread that I've Worked on Too Hard to Let Go! This is one of my responses to the "Cold Air" thread under the "Earth" category. The thread was deleted, but there was one really excellent response, to which I counter-responded, except that the thread was deleted before I...

I have a question about how the solid respond to stress at different stages. In textbooks the slope of typical stress-strain curve decreases after a point called yield point. Why is it so? Why less stress is required to further increase the strain compared to that before yielding?

Homework Statement http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9687/rlc.png Cannot do this question, the first part confuses me when it asks to find an equivalent Parallel circuit. My first instinct was to try to add the capacitor and inductor and 40k Resistance together to create an RLC series...

Can anyone introduce, what is linear response theory in quantum mechanics? Or suggest, where i could read about it, to get acquaintance with it?

Dataset is given in file "tabl3.txt". I know it has something to do with Binary response and probably we should use GLM to model it. However, I kind of stuck with it. My problem is that I can do identify which variable is the response in this case. If I use \log \frac{p}{1-p}=default =...

I'm trying to marry the concepts from my EM course with what I've been doing in my lab course. Correct me if I'm wrong, in a plain RC circuit, when closed with a DC source, the capacitor initially acts as a short (voltage is zero across the terminals, while I is max), until after a few...
