    MATLAB View 10GB .bin picture (in Matlab?)

    I tried it a while ago, mounted it as a virtual disc (with deamon tools) (had to convert it to some other format first, that went ok). But when I clicked the drive... 'format not supported' I'll try renaming it to .exe (or ./ lol) but I'm not getting my hopes up with that, as it has a filesize...

    MATLAB View 10GB .bin picture (in Matlab?)

    Thank you for your efforts, none of the proposed solutions seemed to do it, I'm affraid. My search has lead me to some amazing software, NASA World Wind (check it out at www.worldwindcentral.com ), it's kinda like Google Earth, but you can download serious cache packs for offline availability...

    Audacity Issues: Solving MP3 Sound Problems

    When you first export an mp3, you have to show Audacity the location of the lame encoding .dll (which you downed via the Audacity site at sourceforce, I take it). If you did that, I don't know, you can check whether you have the most recent version. Be advised that I have had degradation when I...

    MATLAB View 10GB .bin picture (in Matlab?)

    So I downloaded a NASA Blue Marble topografical image of Earth (2.4GB when I downed it, I decompressed and... wtf, 10GB+). Now I have no idea how to view the resulting .bin picture. I tried to somehow import the data to Matlab, because I heard that program can somehow do the trick, but it went...

    Solar celestial position (as function of latt, long, time of day, date, )

    HOLY **** Looks like I owe you a beer :smile: Thanks a lot!

    Solar celestial position (as function of latt, long, time of day, date, )

    Thanx, Labguy! I'm exploring all routes starting from what you gave me. Thing is, I'm going to need an offline solution; not easy to find :(

    Solar celestial position (as function of latt, long, time of day, date, )

    Hi, people! I'm looking for a way to predict the sun's (moon's) position in the sky at any given time/any given place. Equations would be great, maple worksheets aswell; links, estimates, tables, whatever. Would be used as (rough) backup for the backup of the navigation instruments during...

    Why Water Decreases in Cross-Sxn Area: Conservation of Mass

    Bear with me; per second, the amount (volume) of water that passes through the hole is equal to the amount that falls onto the sink, right? Otherwise there would be some kind of water buildup in between. If the 'water beam' were to have constant cross-section, there would be less water exiting...

    How does glass become transparent?

    Glass is transparant because its bandgap energy (solid state physics: energy difference between the top of the valence & the bottom of the conduction band, erergy levels for electrons between are not allowed) is too large to absorb visible light. If a 'visible' photon passes through the glass...

    Proton Radius: Is it a Sphere or Shell?

    ...and becomes repulsive, no? Like in the iron-core-rebound which is responsible for some types of supernovae?

    O Physics: Why doesn’t the electron crash into the proton?

    Indeed, the elektron would loose energy because it would radiate (being an accelerated charged particle & all); atom collapse is predicted in the order of 10^(-10) seconds if I recall correctly.

    What's the difference between Mechanics, Dynamics and Kinematics?

    Clarification² Thank you, Daniel!

    What's the difference between Mechanics, Dynamics and Kinematics?

    Mechanics, Dynamics and Kinematics? Just wondering, been asking myself this for a while, so I thought I'd post it. Thx for any replies already.

    Solving Physics III Problems: Potassium 40, Carbon 14, & More

    So far, so good. Well, you have 250g which is almost entirely made up of 12C, yet your third factor is (1 mol 14C/14 g 14C). #mol C = 250g/(marginally different than 12g/mol)=20.8333mol C #mol 14C = 20.8333mol C x (1.3 x 10^-12 mol 14C/mol C) = 2.7083 x 10^-11 mol 14C [because your teacher...

    Solving Physics III Problems: Potassium 40, Carbon 14, & More

    You're supposing all available energy went to the positron, leaving the Ar-atom with zero kinetic energy and therefor in total rest. Can you see the conservation-of-momentum-problem with that? I grant you that the fraction of energy given to the Ar is very small due to its high mass relative to...
