    Making bacteria express green fluorescent protein - could it decrease fitness?

    Since it obviously takes energy and extra amino acids to express the green fluorescent protein, so it's possible that bacteria expressing GFP might have slightly lower fitness (on average) than bacteria that aren't expressing GFP. I'm sure the effect is negligible in most cases. But maybe...

    About the n-point Green functions in position-space

    When we want to calculate the n-point function in the position space, it's always very difficult. For example, when we're calculate the 3-point function of \phi^3 theory in position space, we would get an integral \int d^4 z \frac{1}{|z-x_1|^2|z-x_2|^2|z-x_3|^2} It seems hard to integrate it...

    Medical Opponent process theory: why do I see green after looking at white?

    This morning, I was lying on my bed, looking at the bright morning light coming in through the window. The blinds (which are white) were at least half shut, so much of the light was filtered through them. I then stared up at the ceiling, and saw a nebulous patch of green. I shut my eyes, and...

    What Was the Resolving Power of Green Bank's 300-ft Telescope?

    Question: Before it collapsed in 1989, Green Bank's 300-foot diameter telescope mapped the sky in H I. What was its resolving power? I believe the formula you would use is resolving power = (wavelength in microns) / (diameter in meters) So the diameter in meters would be about 91.44 m, but...

    Is There a Simple Formula for the Green Function of the Klein-Gordon Equation?

    There exists very simple formula for Green function for wave equation: G(t,x,t',x') = \delta (t-t'\pm \frac{|x-x'|}{c})/|x-x'| . I wonder whether there exist similar formula for Green function for Klein-Gordon equation (with mass >0) for any boundary condition.

Shouldn't just as...
