True, at 0-100km/hr in 13.3 sec a 1.7L 914/4 could only be a nostalgia piece. A 1985 turbo VW Golf diesel that I keep as a 'nostalgia' piece could probably match it - but may have to be going downhill and with the wind :

Interesting. Looking at the Euler equation again as Argand plane rotation, would e^-ix be a form of clockwise rotation? Using the methodology of: https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/eulers-formula.html as a reference t

Well, in electronics they use log to base 10. For power, dB = 10 * log (p2/p1). For volts dB = 20 * log (v2/v1). For power, 3 dB would represent 10 ^ .3 or around 1.99X gain, 6 dB = 10 ^.6 or around 3.98X gain. For volts then 6 d

Interesting that a synonym for கறி is தேய் which google-tamil translates as either curry or chafe the later meaning to warm by rubbing which then may be an attempt to curry favor with someone :)

Yeah but of course hypotheses don't arise ex nihilo but from a catalog of focused perceptions catalyzing conceptions which may suggest hypotheses encompassing novel ordering functions, innovations, ameliorations (or whatnot) dependi

Currently there is concern that the new form of the H7N9 virus in China could morph into a form as lethal as the 1918 Spanish flu which killed up to five percent of world's population. Forewarned is forearmed. But it seems: China Has

I'd add to that a complementary text by Barr and Wells: Category Theory for Computing Science (Revised 2013) http://www.math.mcgill.ca/triples/Barr-Wells-ctcs.pdf

No. Plus install it with the classic skin and it can remind you of the old Napster days running Win98. And possibly of your first exposure to computer viruses which taught you to backup everything externally that you wouldn't be willin

To experiment with quantum tunneling you're dealing with phenomena manifesting at the 1nm scale. One macro level theoretical app for quantum conductivity seems to involve wave packets interacting with perfectly rectangular uniform tigh

Even 5GHz wireless phone base units won't penetrate a single layer of standard concrete blocks, like you have in home construction in Florida. Yet 2.5Ghz (WiFi etc.) or below (presumably part 15 at 100 mw) exhibits very little apparen

Seems that brain physiology and health don't live in isolation but are integrally linked with aggregate body muscular physiology. In a Frontiers in Neurology report [1] a prolonged sedentary lifestyle (mouse model) resulted in a 70 p

Also, for seasoned professionals you have to factor in malpractice and insurance coverage as contributing to the inertia.

It's very easy to dismiss life as an exercise in masochism. Take the idea up a few notches and question what underwrites your physical existence: murder and theft, involving the demise of countless plants and animals and theft of the

Cute. This was worth researching. Given Wikipedia's description of the Vedic Abhimanyu the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' analogy may be pushing it a bit, given his status as the reincarnation of the son of moon-god Chandra.

Agreed. Emotive contemporary documentaries and cinema paint Hypatia as an early feminist martyr for science but actual records of the political/social dynamics surrounding her death are sketchy.

Wondered why that name was chosen too. Etymology meaning failure does show it to come from Italian far fiasco = make a bottle = dud theatrical performance . Reminds you of GM motors wondering why their Chevy Nova wasn't selling
