Really??
They do??
but i heard that if you cool helium to 0 Kelvin
its liquid!
and could metals vaporize?
could you have iron gas?

Since there are threads which are more retarded, and since neuro is my area of specialization, two good texts are "Neuroscience" 5th edition by Purves (and others) and "Principles of Neural Science" by Kandel (and others).

Wifi devices don't put out that much power. There's a bunch of other stuff that would (probably) be worse for you if wifi was harmful, like fluorescent lighting even.

If the last 10 years are anything to go by, the next 10 years are going to be a whole lotta nothing. Everything was going so fast and then all of a sudden it all stopped somewhere in the mid 2000s. A good bit of infrastructure and some sound engineering here and there, but computers are barely growing (and somehow Computer Science seems to be stuck in 2002, but that's what happens when you monetize something to such an absurd degree) and scientific advancements have been sparse. But that's usually how it goes. Science happens in leaps and bounds. With most of the time spent looking back at what we just passed over or looking at the next insurmountable gap we have to pass.

Also it's funny how everyone gets the impression that Quantum Mechanics is some new field with lots of pending advancements when it's older than General Relativity. Simple Quantum computing proof-of-concept archetypes MIGHT be coming, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

The surest prediction of the future is that no one can predict the future.

I've read the novela 1936, which was written in 1886, positing the future of 50 years hence. Heavier than air flight proved impossible, and so everyone traveled about on high-speed trains. Poverty, disease, and racism had all been eliminated...

Well, they did not get much right, but it was an entertaining utopia.

>>7665926
You're dividing it. Separating one whole into multiple constituent parts.

What does that REALLY mean? We don't know. We just don't know. We only understand it on certain scales.
>>
>>7665926
You're multiplying by its inverse
>>
You're repeatedly subtracting
200/10 =20 because you can subtract 10, 20 times from 200.
It's not that difficult really

Hey, /sci/

Have you ever experienced Deja vu?

How do you explain this phenomenon?

We don't, it's supernatural.

Check you religious texts of choice for explanation

Come back when you're asking about Deja vu of Deja vu, I get that every so often and that's a mindfuck.

>>7665866
Yes.

Something something about dreams and the brain keeping leftover metadata around that gets attached to new memories.

Do the physicist find work?
What kind of jobs do the physicist?
I have seen that most end teaching in high school.
I wonder which company or companies employing physicists, not just research centers or universities.
Where I can find a job?
I like research but if you are not a super genius or have very good grades, just never give you a position as a teacher or researcher.
Im American, but I dont mind working in Europe.

Any chemists here? organic chemists in particular

I have a dicyclic ketone compound with a hydroxyl group on it and I want to do a Wolff-Kishner reduction reaction to reduce both ketones to alkanes but would a Wolff-Kishner reduction affect the OH group in anyone because I want to keep the OH group on the compound unreacted

Why do you need to know what drug this is?
>>
>>7665482
Wolff Kishner does not reduce alcohols, I never actually used that in practice but I believe it uses an alcohol as a solvent.

Don't know how much it costs either. You can always go the gay route and dehydrate and hydrogenate

Hello /sci/, I need a little bit of help. I'm trying to teach myself differential equations because I'm out of school due to financial reasons. I'm working on the pdf below.

http://www.cengage.com/math/book_content/0495108243_zill/projects_archive/de8e/Project3.pdf

My question is how I would approach solving this ODE with Euler's method. I've attached a picture of the actual problem to hopefully make it easier for you.
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
My initial value is y(L)=0, so do I just move backwards in steps of L (i.e. 1L, 0.75L, 0.50L, 0.25L, 0L) and make my Euler table that way?
>>
>>7665323
I don't know Euler's method so I won't try to teach it, but this is how I would solve your equation (I rename your ratio R):

[math] y'= \frac{ y-R \sqrt{ x^2+y^2 }}{x} [/math]
[math] y'= \frac{y}{x} - R \sqrt{ 1+ \left( \frac{y}{x} \right)^2 } [/math]

sub in u=y/x,

[math] x u' + u = u - R \sqrt{ 1+ u^2 } [/math]
[math] x u' = - R \sqrt{ 1+ u^2 } [/math]

which is separable.
>>
>>7665396
So I would just divide each side by the square root term and by x, and then integrate each side? Then, I could solve for R by re-substituting y/x for u?
