Hi. I wonder if following thought experiment (which is most probably impossible to be put into practice) could have any implications concerning interpretations of QM. Consider five parties A, B, C, D and E, lined up in that order and with no relevant relative motion. No pair of them have ever...

I work in a large electrical machine shop. We have a test that no one can explain to me. We energise a dc field frame (in this case 6 pole) with ac and record the current draw, then reverse the polarity of connection, energise and compare values. If a pole is reversed polarity then a difference...

High school student here. I have just over a month until my AP Calculus exam. I love math and I'm confident that I understand all the concepts necessary to ace the exam. Here's the catch: Whenever I work with a ticking clock, I either don't finish every question in time or make a bunch of silly...

Homework Statement I would like to understand how the limit was changed in the ratio test from step 1 to step 2 in the image that I've posted. I thought that the denominator would look like (2/n+2)(2/n+1) in step 2 since it looks like we are just turning the n's into reciprocals. Any help here...

Hi.. I want to know how can we specify the data(electrical) passing through cable that we are designing in CST design studio to test the effect of EMI on the data passing?

Lab manual is confusing me, and I'm not sure if its actually wrong, or the wording is bad, or if this is because I'm not understanding something. It says: "Before a broth can be tested for nitrate reductase activity it must be examined for evidence of denitrification. This is simply a visual...

I am trying to better understand likelihood ratio test and have found a few helpful resources that explicitly solve problems, but was just curious if you have any more to recommend. Links that perhaps work out full problems and also nicely explain the theory. Similar links you have found...

You got to love this! A top experimental team was assembled to test the "freedom of choice" loophole (if you can call it that). Usually, when random settings are needed in a Bell test, a computer generated value is obtained (pseudo random), or similar. This is relatively "local", and subject...

Hey! :o To check the convergence or divergence of series there are the following tests: Trivial test If a series $\sum a_k$ converges, then the sequence $a_k$ is a zero-sequence. With this test we can just prove the divergence, but not in general the convergence of a series. \ Ratiom...
