I have to compare measurements in a normal distribution with a theoretical gauss curve on "probability paper" (the y-axis has percent). Does anyone know any online guide/ information? thanks, have wasted the last three hours on this

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/05/10/showbiz/texas-stripper-writer-fired/ If the paper has something against people working as strippers, it seems to me kind of stupid to fire them from the paper, because her main work option now is to go back to stripping. This kind of sends a message to anyone...

Hi everyone, I have a very general question about how to read a review book or paper? My tutor want to me read the book of deGennes and Tinkhan to start learning superconductor. Although I can unserstand the main features and even calculation,but i still can't "understand" BCS theory, I don't...

A university department has 2 secretaries (labelled A and B) who do all the word processing required by the department. The number of misprints on a randomly sampled page typed by secretary i (i=A,B) has a Poisson distribution with Mean Ui independent of the number of misprints on any other...

Dear everyone, I know this is not exactly on topic here, but I thought it was even more off topic in the other sub-forums, so please forgive me for posting it here. I'm looking for some advice and maybe some help. Recently I have finished my work on a paper about the emergence of the Born...

In medicine and biology they have Medline which is a complete database of research papers---kind of a complete search engine of research papers in medicine and biology---which has free access to public. Is there anything comparable to this in physics---...

I'm assignated to do a lab report which consist of a numerical molecular simulation of water with a very particular water model. My program is already running but my professor didn't talk a lot about the model in particular. At this point -and I think it's totally fair-, we're expected to...

Hey guys, I am a little confused with the concept of Capillary actions with specific regards to paper towels. I understand the mechanics behind a single capillary tube and the height that water reaches in relation to surface tension. However, my professor claims that paper towels absorb as...

http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/physicist-claims-victory-over-traffic-ticket-physics-paper-151808710.html A physicist at the University of California San Diego used his knowledge of measuring bodies in motion to show in court why he couldn't be guilty of a ticket for failing to halt at...

I know that right now an A4 page sells for 0.8 cents at Walgreens. So presumably the thing is dirt cheap at the factory gates. For toilet paper I don't have any handy store prices to quote, but I do have a nagging suspicion of being overcharged. So, generally speaking, what is the economic...

i mean how to find conferences.?

SR, Do you calculate closing speed to determine light arrival time? Please evaluate the paragraphs below... what I'm most concerned about the very last statement. Do I integrate the "motion" of the distant object to determine the arrival time of light or is that already in the calculation...

By Wheeler (and DeWitt), it's called "Superspace and the nature of quantum geometrodynamics", 1968. I googled it, but all I found were papers/books that had this paper as a reference...I can't find the paper itself, anyone have some good sources for where these things are? Surely it's online...

Hi everyone, my first post here. I have worked out some of the problems facing physics in general and quantum mechanics more specifically in my head and am planning to submit a paper to a scientific journal to put out the ideas and have them reviewed and hopefully accepted as new clues to...

I've noticed lately a lot of my professors use yellow paper pads to write out their lecture notes instead of white ones. I don't know if it's a generational thing, but I never liked yellow paper and always thought it felt cheap and not nice to write on, so I'm wondering what the appeal of it...

How do you publish a scientific paper? How do you know that your idea has not already been published somewhere? How would you go about making sure your idea is new? What happens if you wrote a paper in a field that someone already researched on without knowing? Who do you speak with to start a...

As part of an assignment, I have been asked to construct a tower that is completely made of paper and sticky tape. This tower must be built with 4 specifications: 1. Must be built of nothing but paper and tape no cutting devices, glue, ect ect. 2. Must be built within 5 minutes. 3. Must be...

Why does a wet piece of paper let through more light than a dry one?

I am writing a paper for my New Frontiers of Astronomy class on dark flow. Does anybody no any links to a great deal of info on dark flow. I've printed up the actually science paper on it. Any links relating to the causes of it or disproving it by other physicists will help.

I hope that a short discussion of the history of theoretical development is not too much off-topic here; this is a continuation of a discussion started under another, related topic: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=574624&page=2 The paper under discussion: Albert Einstein, "Über...

An elephant on a frictionless flat surface is tied to paper clip hanging off the side of the surface. What is total acceleration of the system?

Hello, some time ago I've started thinking about aspects of physics, and came up with an experiment that could have provided very surprising results. I performed the experiment, and no surprising results came up. However, this negative result is still a new result, also the experiment and the...

Hey guys, I have this 8 page research paper coming up. I decided to write about what electricity is, how it is created, and how does it power tools. My professor said it was too general so could you guys give me a specific topic related to electricity? Something do-able in 8 pages. Not too...

I have to write a ten page paper on a subject relating to things we have learned in University Physics 1. I'm having a really hard time coming up with something though. It's due Monday and I'm starting to get really stressed about this. Any ideas? (must be related to gravity, energy, and...

The Gravity Dual of the Ising Model http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.1987 A quite interesting paper. Basically they define a way to sum over geometries in 3d pure gravity, they show the sum is finite in some special cases, and they find that for some choice of parameters out pops the 2d ising...

Hello Guys. Maybe you got in the past some similar questions :) I'm a game developer and I'm programming a game with a paper plane and I want to achieve a nearly real physic. What I got so far: trust = the speed when I throw the paper plane. drag = dragcoefficient * airdensity *...

Some of us might be interested by what Percacci has to say about AsymSafe theories. He goes beyond simple AS gravity, considers a combined theory with standard matter, the significance of scale-invariance at the fixed points, and (to me) surprising tie-ins with other theory...

I'm trying to look for papers with funny abstracts (in particular, there is one I saw a while ago, I believe it was physics, that had an abstract that only said no which I am trying to find, but I would love to see other funny one as well.)
