    What is the difference between Cytotoxic and Cytogenotoxic?

    I did a little research, but I'm not fully confident if what I found is correct. Cytotoxic: Anything that kills cells (including cancer cells). Cytogenotoxic: Anything that mutates the DNA of a cell (can lead to cancer).

    I Numerical solution to the Schrodinger eqn. using Finite Difference Method

    As part of my project I was asked to use the finite difference method to solve Schrodinger equation. I see how you can turn it into a matrix equation, but I don't know how to solve it if the energy eigenvalues are unknown. Are there any recommended methods I can use to determine those...

    Difference between Waveguides and Resonators

    I claim that waveguides are resonators because a resonator is defined as a device which can produce you normal modes of some ' mathematical object' you're looking for, which in waveguide's case is Electromagnetic fields ( waveguide can produce normal modes called TE and TM ). Am I right?

    I Length Contraction: Measuring a Difference of 55 Nanometers

    If the table (with the mirrors, beamsplitter, etc.) is rotated 90 degrees, one arm will get shorter (due to lengthcontraction) because its longitudinal speed goes from zero to 30 km/s (our speed around the sun) and the other arm will get longer as its speed goes from 30 km/s to zero. So with a...

    Programs Big difference in the duration from Bachelors to PhD in USA/UK?

    In the USA, a bachelor is required to be accepted into a PhD program. A bachelor takes 4 years, and a PhD takes about 5-6 years (https://www.postgrad.com/study-in-usa/phd-in-usa/). If you have a Masters degree it may take 1 year less (which is weighted out with the duration of the master). So it...
