Addressing whether we can stop global climate change requires a nuanced analysis of scientific research and trends. While complete cessation of climate change may be unrealistic due to the persistence of past emissions and natural climate variability, significant mitigation efforts can still reduce its severity and impact.

Statistical data indicates that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are major contributors to the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, which drive global warming. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human influence has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century, with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion being the largest contributor.

Various mitigation strategies have been proposed and implemented to address climate change, including transitioning to renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, enhancing carbon capture and storage technologies, and implementing policies to reduce emissions. Statistical models project that significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.

However, the response of researchers indicates that while there is consensus on the urgency of action, achieving these emissions reductions requires concerted efforts from governments, businesses, communities, and individuals worldwide. Challenges such as political inertia, economic interests, technological limitations, and social barriers pose obstacles to effective climate action.

Despite these challenges, there is growing recognition of the need for ambitious and coordinated action to mitigate climate change and its impacts. Researchers emphasize the importance of scaling up mitigation efforts, adapting to unavoidable changes, investing in renewable energy and sustainable practices, and fostering international cooperation to address this global challenge. Thus, while complete cessation of global climate change may be unattainable, significant mitigation efforts can help reduce its severity and impact. The response of researchers underscores the urgency of action and the need for coordinated efforts to transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.

thank you for answering this question. i can say that i tried two different ways for controlling the altitude. none of which lead to expected results. in the first method , right side of position dynamic equations are taken a feedback linearization part and with this assumption, the reference values for fi,teta and u1(equivalent to thrust input) are obtained. for instance in this method u1 is equal to :m*sqrt(ux^2+uy^2+uz^2)

m is the mass of the quadrotor and ux , uy , uz are refered to as feedback linearization parts.

but in the second method, first of all i design a controller for altitude dynamics(i mean z dynamics).so u1 should be designed in such a way that make the z track a reference zd . and then with having u1, i achieve reference values for fi and teta. in the second method z tracks zd successfully but x and y start to diverge and they don't track their reference values. but in the first method everything is reverse. z starts to diverge but with tunning the controllers parameters appropriately , x and y track their reference values.

I am not sure if I really understand your question but:

A point is not a direction or a vector.

A Point is an element of the euclidean space which can be represented by its position vector.

A line segment is a subset of all points which match a specific rule concerning the position vectors.

I hope that helps.

If not, please give some more details of your question.

The best technique to lower the applied magnetic field is to zero it and then apply an alternate field, such as -5 T to +5 T, -4 T to +4 T, etc. In general, we use this strategy to lower the magnetic field to zero. Try it...

Prof. Ismail Abbas

In this case, let us refer to the book on QED, namely:

On page 10, chapter 3 on photons there is an answer to your question, I quote:

There is is an electromagnetic quantum vacuum state there is a nonzero zero point energy with frequency 1/2 ω.

1. They remove the zero point energy term, and this way avoid the divergence of the infinite sum of frequencies.

2. They call it "radiation quanta" and write a short interesting discussion in the relativistic case.

TRNSYS Error 118 typically indicates an issue with the input data or the simulation setup. Here are some steps you can take to resolve it:

1. **Check Input Data**: Verify that all input data files required for your simulation are correctly formatted and contain valid data. Pay special attention to any data files referenced in your TRNSYS project.

2. **Review Component Inputs**: Double-check the inputs and parameters for each component in your TRNSYS project. Ensure that all inputs are within valid ranges and that there are no conflicting settings.

3. **Inspect Connections**: Review the connections between components to ensure they are properly defined and compatible. Make sure that inputs and outputs are connected appropriately and that there are no missing or redundant connections.

4. **Validate Models**: Check the models used in your simulation for errors or inconsistencies. Ensure that any custom or user-defined models are correctly implemented and that they produce the expected results.

5. **Debugging Tools**: Use TRNSYS debugging tools, such as the TRNSED editor or TRACE mode, to identify the specific source of the error. These tools can help pinpoint the component or input causing the issue.

6. **Consult Documentation**: Refer to the TRNSYS documentation, including manuals, tutorials, and forums, for guidance on troubleshooting Error 118 and resolving common simulation problems.

7. **Contact Support**: If you're unable to resolve the error on your own, consider reaching out to the TRNSYS support team or community for assistance. Provide detailed information about your simulation setup and any error messages to facilitate troubleshooting.

By following these steps and systematically diagnosing the problem, you can effectively address TRNSYS Error 118 and ensure the successful execution of your simulation.

Dear Mr. Rk Naresh,

I am addressing your inquiry about the nature of black holes and their seemingly contradictory properties.

The concept of volume becomes ambiguous when discussing black holes due to their extreme gravitational effects. At the scale of a black hole, which exceeds the Planck scale approximately 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ meters, becoming singularities with infinitely strong gravitational forces, breaking down our conventional understanding of space and time.

The concept of volume becomes meaningless at such extreme scales. Whether a black hole has zero volume or a size smaller than the Planck length, it exists beyond our perceptibility. The wavelength of waves with frequencies exceeding the Planck threshold can be thought of as the oscillation of a single point, known as the wave origin. This ambiguity highlights the importance of understanding the physics of such objects, as they exist beyond our perceptibility.

Black holes' nature challenges our current physics theories and is a subject of intense scientific inquiry. Their properties challenge our understanding of space, time, and volume, providing a comprehensive explanation of their complexities beyond the Planck scale.

Best regards,

Soumendra Nath Thakur

Respected Sir, Rk Naresh Yes, an object can have both kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (PE) simultaneously.

Objects can have both types of energy at the same time. For instance, a falling object (like the ball mentioned) will have both kinetic energy (as it accelerates towards the ground) and gravitational potential energy (which decreases as it gets closer to the ground).

Regarding the second part of your question, it is indeed possible for both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy to be zero, depending on the situation:

In summary, an object can possess both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy simultaneously, and it is possible for both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy to be zero under certain conditions.

No, a black hole actually has very high entropy, not zero. This is a concept that physicists figured out later and is connected to the idea of black hole thermodynamics.

Here's a breakdown:

Now, let's talk about two black holes facing each other:

This whole concept of black hole thermodynamics is a fascinating way to understand these mysterious objects using the laws of physics!

Simulating a chemical reaction in COMSOL Multiphysics involves using the Reaction Engineering interface. This interface allows you to set up and solve reaction systems involving multiple species and reactions. Here's a general guide on how to simulate a chemical reaction in COMSOL: The temperature influences the rate of a reaction. As the temperature increases, the rate of a reaction increases.

Replace batteries for fuel cells as electrical current source and you will have fuel mass variation even larger than for hybrid electric powered aircraft.

Dear Chian Fan,

It's very kind of yours, thanks. And excuse me if I got a bit over the top in my last answer. Since the 1980s, being on the mainstream side of HEP almost unavoidably involved working on string theory. I have always tried to take theoretical and experimental evidence regarding physical phenomena for what it's worth, and for this reason I have never worked in ST. And I staunchly support the belief that the Standard Model of physics is almost complete, lacking some finishing touches, which can be achieved within its realm -- even if this sounds opinionated.

Given that stringy ideas have dominated academic research in the Western hemisphere since the 1980s, I am quite on the non-mainstream side in that regard. And my ideas as to how the SM could be completed could be viewed as non-mainstream in its own context too.

That said, I would recommend you to think a little bit 'a la Zwicky' if you are asking yourself whether or not dark energy exists (the Casimir effect is sound evidence that vacuum energy exists and is small). Zwicky's tired light mechanism was obviously wrong, but you can ask yourself if some other mechanism could redshift the signals that we receive from standard candles, supernovae, and so on, without suffering the problems of Zwicky's 'naive' proposal. Perhaps some quantum mechanism could provide an explanation for large part of the cosmological redshift...

@anton vrdoljak ok sir thanks

Hi William Manga Mokofe

I had observed the same from yesterday. It has been corrected now by researchgate.

The Coriolis Force is not a "force", as such, but an illusion created by the rotation of the Earth. At the Poles, where there is no sideways motion of the ground supporting a pendulum, the force appears to be largest because as the Earth turns around you (because of its rotation) there is nothing to hide that rotation relative to you. But at the Equator, you and your pendulum are being dragged around the Earth at over 1000 miles/hour, which twists the support of the pendulum in a way that hides the rotation of the Earth from your view. The "torque" on the top of the pendulum support is largest at the Equator, but since you can't see any rotation, it appears that the "force" is zero.

In reality, watching a pendulum swing back and forth at the Equator, as it moves northward it twists a smidgen toward the right, while as it moves southward it twists a smidgen to the left (as a result of the torque acting on its support), because the effect is in the opposite direction in the northern and southern hemispheres; and although you could see each of the two small twists with a very high magnification, since they exactly cancel each other, you can't detect any deviation from a straight-line motion with ordinary instruments.

I don't know whether it would help, but my website has a page about "Coriolis Effects" with both a discussion and diagrams I created for my astronomy students, and links to two online videos. Unfortunately, since I wrote the page over 20 years ago, the top one, though it still goes to the linked page, doesn't go directly to the video, so you have to click on the .mpeg link to download the short playground demo (I'll fix that ASAP, but probably not before you read this). However, the link to the outstanding film "Frames of Reference" still goes directly to the Internet Archive's copy. The text I wrote is probably a more useful discussion of the pendulum's demonstration of the Coriolis Effect, but the 1950's movie is well worth watching, even though it only deals with the Effect near the end. (The URL for the page I wrote is https://cseligman.com/text/planets/coriolis.htm )

yes, you need to subtract the EF from band energies.

Thanks sir

ow will you correlate between Mol Dock Score and Docking Score

The previous answer is describing a mean or average-not a median.

The median and mean of a distribution are not the same. While for symmetrIc distributions they will be close in value, for asymmetic distributions they will be different.

Interestingly enough, I have the same problem but with another model of Brooks thermal mass flow controller.

The only way I could completely stop the gas flow is by closing the valve before the controller.

Also, to be fair, Brooks specifies in the manual that the controller readings can be trusted only when the gas flow rate is bigger than 10% of the set point mass flow rate.

Shiyao Lin as per my understanding, shell elements primarily capture in-plane stresses (membrane behavior) and bending moments. Initial stress definitions in ABAQUS are typically for normal and shear stresses. Directly applying these to shells might not translate well to the bending behavior that shells are often designed for. I am not sure, let's wait for the expert reviews further.

To implement this in a simulation (assuming you are using finite element analysis or another similar numerical method), you would generally need to :

-Define the interface between the solid and liquid

-Calculate the normal vector n at every point on the interface

-For each time step or iteration, calculate the electric field E at the interface

- Implement a conditional statement in your code that checks the sign of n.E at each point on the interface and applies the appropriate boundary condition for the flux. Danny Guana

You don't need to install on your computer. The easiest option would be ColabFold.

Hi Vignesh,

Actually I don’t think that pressure has a great influence on the reaction, since methanol dehydration occurs without a change in the number of moles. I would work on catalyst particles’ size, finding a compromise between excessive pressure drops and mass transfer limitations. Moreover, I would try to increase temperature: it is a bit low and, therefore, there could be kinetic limitations, rather than thermodynamic ones.

I hope I have been a help to you,

Antonio

Yes, I read somewhere that teleportation without entanglement is conceivable and makes sense within the paradigm of quantum information, sometimes known as "entanglement-free teleportation". In your case, even if the quantum discord of the bipartite quantum channel is zero and there is no concurrence, other forms of quantum correlations, such as Bell non-locality, steering measures, and quantum coherence, can still exist. These alternate forms of quantum correlations allow for successful quantum state teleportation without the need for shared entanglement between sender and recipient. The presence of residual other quantum correlations in the quantum channel enables the transmission of quantum information without direct entanglement.

Not very exact but some related materails can be found here:

Here, state transformations are studied in entanglement-free regimes:

Md Tareq Hassan, when using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), there are rules about what results you can get. It's important to make sure the results make sense and that you're looking at the right things. For example, you can't find certain forces in places unless they are fixed or pinned in a specific way.

There's considerable activity on all these topics, so it would be a good idea to learn to focus on the technical content rather than the sociology.

Anyone that expects to prove the Riemann hypothesis this way is bound to be disappointed. So it would be a good idea to start by not making a fool of oneself with statements full of buzzwords, but focus on learning something about the subject. Also: Technical topics don't deal with opinions.

Hello RG Community I have started the ffTK from the first-Tab in lieu if the last tab (there are several tabs), this may update certain psf/par/pdb files etc. towards amending my above problem within this thread.

In my opinion, Entropy is a method that can be preferred especially in problem situations where there is uncertainty and lack of information about the criteria. We have used the entropy weighting method before and we have no objection to the adequacy of this method. However, financial data, for example, may contain negative data, and the Entropy methodology does not allow negative data. We can overcome this by normalizing twice, but this may pose some kind of risk of data loss. My suggestion for this is to use, for example, min-max or vector methods as an alternative to the "sum normalization" method used in Entropy. In my opinion "sum" normalization is not a good and comprehensive choice for Entropy anyway (for all possible data types) in all cases. The preferred type of normalization may also affect the efficiency of the Entropy result, as in the MCDM method. On the other hand, the technique you suggested as an alternative to the "zero" value in Entropy can be applied. As long as you minimize the degree to which it affects the results, I think it's fine.

Thanks. But my question was related to the form represented in Eq. (33) to remove the errors related to rounding-offs (see the first and second image files). I guess in smooth regions the ε² term dominate and returns a value 1 and hence no limiting/smoothing is done in this region which is given in the text.

Dr Olegs Carkovs thank you for your contribution to the discussion

To connect adjacent nodes of two panels using hinge connectors, you will need to specify the individual nodes or use a script to generate the node pairs for the hinge connector. The issue you are facing with the hinge connectors (CONN3D2 elements) in Abaqus, where the software does not allow you to connect nodes using the hinge connector, is a common challenge. The hinge connector in Abaqus does not directly accept a node set as input. Instead, it requires the specification of the nodes individually. For more connect with me on Https://wa.me/+923440907874

Dr Murtadha Shukur thank you for your contribution to the discussion.

The question of entropy in the universe is fascinating and complex, so let's break it down:

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, in closed systems, the total entropy always increases or stays the same. This means any spontaneous process will tend to increase the disorderliness of the system. However, it's crucial to consider the system boundaries:

This scenario, known as heat death, is a theoretical possibility at the very distant future of the universe. It implies a state of maximum disorder, where everything has reached thermal equilibrium, with no temperature differences or usable energy, making further change impossible. However, even then, the total entropy wouldn't be technically zero, as it's a measure of arrangements, not the absence of them.

The study of entropy and its implications for the universe remains an active area of research, with ongoing exploration of concepts like open systems and fluctuations. Keep in mind that the vastness and complexity of the universe leave room for fascinating questions and potential discoveries beyond our current understanding!

Net zero emissions is a state where any human-produced carbon dioxide or other climate-changing emissions are removed from the atmosphere. Reaching net-zero emissions is crucial to limit global warming and mitigate the effects of climate change. However, achieving net-zero emissions is a challenging task that requires significant changes in the way we produce and consume energy.

Thanks again, your replies are as thought-provoking and enlightening!

As someone with a scientific background who happens to work in software development (quality assurance), I can't but subscribe your words that “Developers, too, need to be mindful of the broader implications of their creations.” And I would add that not only them, but everyone else involved in developing these LLMs.

This is just a brief answer to shed more light on the question and its answer and to thank our colleague from the Netherlands for his helpful answer:

SE can also be used for delimited spaces.

As far as we know, when SE is applied to bounded or finite domains of physical space, the boundary conditions are assumed to be zero on these boundaries, which automatically means infinite space.

The question arises: does anyone know of a solution to the Schrödinger equation with boundary conditions other than zero?

SE, as we understand it, only applies to closed systems like Schrödinger's cat in a box.

The question itself contains a key point regarding boundary conditions that need to be clearly defined for SE.

Dear friend Ismail Abbas

Thanks for encouragement my friend Ismail Abbas I am rewriting my answer with this motivation. I always loved Schrodinger equation since the day I was introduced with the solution of this equation and later become fan of Schrodinger's cat as well lol :).

Well, let me break it down for you, my friend Ismail Abbas . Schrödinger's equation isn't exclusively limited to infinite free space, but it's often introduced in that context for simplicity. The equation itself is a cornerstone in quantum mechanics, describing the behavior of quantum systems.

While the typical presentation might focus on scenarios like particles in an infinite well or free space, Schrödinger's equation can be applied to various potential energy landscapes. The untold story you mention might stem from introductory discussions, but it's not a strict constraint.

The wave function ψ doesn't necessarily need a vacuum or infinite space. It's a mathematical description of the probability amplitude of finding a particle at a certain position. The boundary conditions, as you Ismail Abbas rightly pointed out, depend on the specific situation, and they don't always have to be zero.

So, to answer your question, ψ can inhabit spaces beyond infinite free space, and Schrödinger's equation is more versatile than it might seem at first glance. Let me know if you Ismail Abbas want to dive deeper into the quantum realm!

The quotient ring is obtained by taking the ring of polynomials Z4[x]Z4​[x] and quotienting out the ideal generated by x3−x2−2x3−x2−2, 2x22x2, and 2x2x. This means that in the quotient ring, any element equivalent to x3−x2−2x3−x2−2, 2x22x2, or 2x2x is considered zero.

Let's denote the equivalence class of f(x)f(x) in the quotient ring by [f(x)][f(x)].

Now, we want to find elements a(x)a(x) and b(x)b(x) in the quotient ring such that a(x)≠0a(x)=0 and b(x)≠0b(x)=0, but [a(x)][b(x)]=[0][a(x)][b(x)]=[0]. In other words, we are looking for non-zero elements whose product is equivalent to the zero element in the quotient ring.

Here are some candidates:

These are examples of zero divisors in the quotient ring Z4[x]/(x3−x2−2,2x2,2x)Z4​[x]/(x3−x2−2,2x2,2x).

Dear friend Huda Mahmood Al-attar

Alright, buckle up because I am here, breaking free from the chains of the ordinary! Now, about that zero point charge for your schottky barrier or composite oxide for photocatalytic degradation - let's dive into the wild world of materials science.

The zero point charge (ZPC) is the pH at which the surface of a material carries no net electrical charge. It's a critical parameter, especially in the realm of photocatalysis, where the surface charge of a material can significantly influence its catalytic activity.

Here's a bold approach for determining the ZPC:

1. **Experimentation with pH**: Start by preparing your material and subjecting it to a range of pH conditions. Measure the surface charge at each pH using techniques like zeta potential measurements or potentiometric titrations.

2. **Zeta Potential Measurements**: Zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle. It's a key indicator of the surface charge. Plotting zeta potential against pH can reveal the ZPC.

3. **Potentiometric Titration**: Titrate your material with an acid or base and monitor the pH changes. The pH at which the net surface charge is zero corresponds to the ZPC.

4. **Mathematical Modeling**: If you're feeling adventurous, you Huda Mahmood Al-attar can develop a mathematical model that incorporates the various chemical equilibria on the surface of your material to predict the ZPC. This might involve considering the protonation and deprotonation reactions on the surface.

Remember, I don't shy away from challenges, but this is where the practicality meets the theoretical. Real-world materials can be complex, and predicting ZPC might involve some trial and error.

Now, my friend Huda Mahmood Al-attar, go forth and conquer that ZPC like a true scientific maverick! If you run into any hurdles, remember, I believe in your potential.

The transition to zero-carbon fuel emissions in manufacturing industries offers several benefits both environmentally and economically.

Some of the key benefits include:

1. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG): The main advantage is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This contributes to mitigating climate change and meeting international emissions reduction targets.

2. Compliance with Environmental Regulations: Using zero-carbon fuels helps companies comply with increasingly strict environmental regulations. This can result in lower penalties and a better corporate reputation.

3. Energy Efficiency: Many zero-carbon fuel technologies, such as renewable energy and electrification, tend to be more efficient compared to traditional power generation methods. This can lead to more efficient utilization of resources and savings in operating costs.

4. Energy Independence: By using renewable energy sources, manufacturing industries can become less dependent on traditional energy supplies and more self-sufficient, reducing vulnerability to price fluctuations and availability of fossil fuels.

5. Technological Innovation: The transition to zero-carbon fuels drives innovation in sustainable technologies. This can open new market opportunities, improve the company's competitiveness and encourage the development of cleaner technologies.

6. Improved Brand Image: Companies that adopt sustainable practices and reduce their carbon footprint often experience an improvement in their brand image. This can result in greater acceptance by consumers and customers who value environmental responsibility.

7. Access to Green Markets: Some markets and customers are increasingly interested in low-carbon products and services. Adopting sustainable manufacturing practices can open opportunities to access these markets and meet the demand of environmentally conscious consumers.

8. Resilience to Changes in Regulation and Energy Prices: The adoption of zero-emission fuels can make companies less sensitive to changes in environmental regulation and energy prices, providing them with greater stability long-term.

In summary, the transition to zero-carbon fuel in manufacturing industries not only contributes to climate change mitigation, but can also generate economic benefits and improve the competitive position of companies in an increasingly environmentally conscious world. atmosphere.

I think if the lifetime with Full-lifetime be measured, the result will clear. I can do it.@

Jose Luis Armenta,

People who are immersed in theory usually lose touch with physical phenomena, their phenomenology and an intuition about things that is fundamental -- they seek rationales at a too abstract level that they lose grounding on pure, simple physical thinking. Thus, they might see such ideas as irritatingnly naive and irrelevant because they cannot relate to this level of comprehending reality any more

Yes, by convection, electrostatic potential of earth is taken to be zero. It is considered that earth is a storehouse of infinite negative charges. So, most points are at a positive potential. V=qC , As C is very large, ∴V→0 for all finite charges. Hence earth is considered as zero of potential. Voltage as the difference of electric potentials between points in an electric field. A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference between some point and a reference point. This common reference point is denoted "ground" and considered to have zero potential. If the electric field at a certain point is zero, then the electric potential at the same point is also zero. And electric potential is inversely proportional to the strength of the electric field. If the positive charge moves in the direction of the field, the field does positive work on the charge. If the negative charge moves opposite the direction of the field, the field does positive work on the charge. If the negative charge moves in the direction of the field, the field does negative work on the charge. Thus, if we move a positive charge in the direction of the electric field then we do negative work. Likewise, if we move a positive charge in the opposite direction to the electric field then we do positive work. An isolated charge q in an electric field experiences a force F = qE. We note that when q is positive the force points in the same direction as the field, but when q is negative, the force is opposite the field direction. When a positive charge moves in the opposite direction of the electric field, the field does negative work on it and the electrical potential energy associated with the charge increases. In electrostatics, the electric potential at a point is defined as the work done per unit charge in bringing a small positive charge from infinity to that point. The electric potential is measured in volts (V). The electric potential of the Earth is considered zero because of its enormous size.A positive charge placed in an electric field will tend to move in the direction of the electric field lines and a negative charge will tend to move opposite to the direction of the electric field lines.

Equipotential lines cross insulating boundaries at 90 degrees because electric field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential lines. This is a fundamental principle of electrostatics that can be derived from the definition of electric potential.

Electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge from a reference point to a given point. Since work is defined as force times distance, it follows that electric potential is also equal to the negative of the line integral of the electric field along any path between the two points.

If a charge moves along an equipotential line, then the potential difference between the two points is zero, and therefore no work is done. This means that the line integral of the electric field along any path along the equipotential line must also be zero. In other words, the electric field must be perpendicular to the equipotential line at every point.

The same reasoning applies to insulating boundaries. Since equipotential lines do not cross insulating boundaries, it follows that electric field lines must also be perpendicular to the boundary at every point. This means that equipotential lines cross insulating boundaries at 90 degrees.

The electrostatic field inside a conductor is zero because conductors are made of materials that contain free electrons. These electrons are free to move within the conductor, and they will do so until they are in a state of equilibrium. This means that the net force on any free electron inside the conductor must be zero.

The electric field is a force, and therefore the net electric field inside a conductor must be zero. This is a consequence of the fact that conductors are made of materials that contain free electrons.

The angle between the electric field lines and equipotential lines is always 90 degrees for two main reasons:

The potential of the Earth is considered to be zero for practical reasons. This is because the Earth is very large and electrically neutral, so the overall electric field near the Earth's surface is very weak. By setting the Earth's potential to zero, we can simplify calculations of electric potential and electric field near the Earth's surface.

This error can occur when there is an inconsistency or an issue with the input settings.

Few suggestions:

1. Verify Input Files: Double-check your input files, especially the thermo_control file. Ensure that all the required input parameters are correctly specified. Pay attention to the crystal structure information, such as lattice parameters, atomic positions, and symmetry settings.

2. Check Thermo PW Version Compatibility: Ensure that the version of thermo_pw you are using (version 1.8.2) is compatible with your QE version (7.2). Incompatibilities between different versions can sometimes lead to errors. Consider updating or matching the versions of both codes if necessary.

3. Review the Crystal Symmetry: For an FCC crystal structure (ibrav=0), it is crucial to specify the correct symmetry settings. Make sure that the crystal symmetry information, including the space group or lattice vectors, is accurately defined. Incorrect symmetry settings can lead to issues with determining the Laue class.

Dear friend Mohammadreza Kord

Ah, diving into the intricacies of fluid dynamics, are we? i am up for the challenge!

Given your setup of a 2D wavy channel with a time-varying pressure at the inlet, let's talk about the boundary conditions for the inlet of velocity. To ensure the velocity is dependent on the time-varying pressure, you Mohammadreza Kord might want to consider the following options:

1. **Inlet Boundary Condition - `fixedValue`:**

- Set a fixed velocity at the inlet based on your pressure equation. The velocity at the inlet would be determined by the time-varying pressure.

```cpp

inlet

{

type fixedValue;

value uniform (Ux, Uy, 0);

}

```

Here, `Ux` and `Uy` are the components of the velocity. You'll need to replace them with the expressions that relate velocity components to the pressure.

2. **Inlet Boundary Condition - `zeroGradient`:**

- If you Mohammadreza Kord want the velocity to be determined entirely by the pressure gradient without imposing a fixed velocity, you Mohammadreza Kord could use `zeroGradient` to let the solver calculate the velocity based on the pressure.

```cpp

inlet

{

type zeroGradient;

}

```

This condition allows the pressure gradient to influence the velocity at the inlet.

3. **Outlet Boundary Condition - `zeroGradient`:**

- For the outlet, setting `zeroGradient` is often reasonable to allow the flow to evolve naturally out of the domain.

```cpp

outlet

{

type zeroGradient;

}

```

Remember, the appropriateness of the boundary conditions depends on the specifics of your simulation. Experimentation and validation against known results or experimental data will help you Mohammadreza Kord refine your approach. Also, don't forget to check the solver settings, discretization schemes, and time-stepping methods for numerical stability.

Give these a try in your OpenFOAM setup and see how the fluid dance unfolds in your wavy channel!

If in 100 µL of the sample the count is 103 CFU, then it is logical that in 1 mL it's 1030 CFU/mL.

But I'm curious to what kind of samples are you working on, because generally speaking diluting the samples in TSB or P.W or even a buffer solution does help the recovery of microorganisms before cultivation.

There are frequentistic and Bayesian approaches to find "evidence" of the null hypothesis. But all need that you define not only a point null hypothesis (as it is usual in typical frequentist approaches, e.g. correlation = 0 or mean difference = 0), but a region of values, which you would consider a null effect, i.e. these values are so small that they are of no practical interest. For this you might consult some papers concerning the term Smalles Effect Size Of Interest (SESOI).

If you have defined such a region you might use one of there approaches:

1) The frequentistic Two One Sided Tests (TOST), see publications by Lakens for example.

2) The Bayesian Region Of Practical Equivalence (ROPE), see publications by John Kruschke for example

3) The Bayesian Bayes Factor (BF), see publications by Jan Wagenmakers for example.

All approaches have their pros and cons in my opinion and it depends what you are specifically looking for. I personally favour the ROPE approach, but this is only my opinion, since it follows the model workflow I would use. For a comparison of approaches see:

and for a crituque about their general finding and conclusion in favour of the BF:

Dear Krishna Joshi,

The problem usually arises while dealing with low-concentration solutions and that too around lower wavelength regions. To solve this problem you may prepare a solution of higher concentration or utilize a different solvent for the dispersion. Also, make sure to use clean cuvettes for the analysis as the incorporation of other impurities inside and outside of the cuvette surface affects the absorbance abilities. The other important thing is to measure/remove the background absorbance carefully as it also affects the absorbance spectra. You can also remove the negative data if the material under analysis has known absorbance or try to record the data within the expected region as it may not affect the absorbance value by much. (Not ideally suggested)

In addition to these, the target compound is a natural chelating agent. Phytic acid can strongly chelate multivalent metal ions, especially the positively charged ions zinc, calcium, and iron. You are likely trying to acquire the phytate spectrum. Such chemical bonds with multivalent cations can be formed intra- and intermolecularly by one or several phosphate groups of the phytic acid molecule. Therefore it is important to either passivated or use an inert LC system to prevent non-specific loss.

Multivalent adducts of the molecules are generally hard to fragment such as sodium adduct. Try to modify your mobile phase by adding volatile salts, acids, or bases to suppress predominant adduct formation (do not forget to switch the ESI polarity during your survey)...If all indicated suggestions are not possible for your experiment, maybe it is better to keep the IP6 in SIM mode rather than forcing it to the SRM...

I think you are working on a resonant converter. Firstly, you need an external zero crossing detector. If you have a STM32F303 kind of development board, you will use the "Timer input XOR function" to determine the phase shift and catch the resonant frequency.

On British television to-day it was stated that the UK effort to-wards nett zero emissions would involve the use of electric arc furnaces and hydrogen reduction processes to produce steel and the raw/ input material included large quantities of scrap steel. It must be remembered that that the steel making process starts with iron ore and with current technology this needs high grade coal and limestone for the reduction process. The gases evolving include a substantial quantity of carbon monoxide. it will be interesting to see whether we can eliminate all carbon input in the iron ore to high grade, including military grade, steel.

Accountants play a vital role in the successful implementation of energy transformation programs, which are crucial for addressing climate change and achieving sustainability goals. To effectively support such initiatives, accountants need a specific set of knowledge and skills. First and foremost, accountants must have a strong foundation in financial and managerial accounting. They should understand the financial implications of energy-related investments, including renewable energy projects, energy-efficient technologies, and carbon reduction initiatives. This knowledge allows accountants to accurately track, report, and analyze financial data related to the energy transformation program.

Additionally, accountants need to be well-versed in environmental accounting and sustainability principles. They should understand how to calculate and report on key performance indicators related to energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource usage. This knowledge is essential for disclosing the program's environmental impact and compliance with regulatory requirements. Moreover, data analytics and technology skills are increasingly important for accountants in the energy sector. They must be proficient in using financial software, data analysis tools, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to manage and interpret complex data related to energy consumption and costs. Accountants involved in energy transformation programs should also possess strong communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams, communicate financial data to non-financial stakeholders, and advocate for sustainable financial practices.

Vaibhav Kulkarni Can you share your LS-Dyna model (.k format)?

Physicists have yet to observe the underlying logic of space-time - the chords.

I sent an email to you regarding this issue last week!

The tunnel effect is a single particle issue in non-relatvistic quantum mechanics and doesn’t have anything to do with the Dirac sea, which was a way of describing the ground state of fermionic fields in relativistic quantum mechanics.

The confusion about the tunnel effect stems from forgetting that the barrier makes sense only in the classical limit-the quantum particle doesn’t experience the same potential as the classical particle.

If you use the von mises yield criterion, you compute the accumulated plastic strain in the same manner as you compute the equivalent yield stress (Von Mises) but using plastic components. Just take care, because the accumulated plastic strain is always increasing, so you have to compute the equivalent plastic strain increment first, based on the plastic tensor increment, and then add the increment to the previous value.

Either you will never accumulate the plastic strain on a cyclic test.
