Talk:Third Coast

message: I have to admit I find this whole article a little convoluded and confusing.  Granted, I have an obvious geographical bias, but from my experience the term "third coast" is widely used to refer to the Great Lakes shoreline, which is comparable in length to the east and west coasts of the US.  The use of the term to describe Chicago or Milwaukee politics is almost certainly secondary to this geographic useage (the Athens reference hardly explains the coast terminology at all).

replies: text: Given the common association of coastlines and liberal politics, I don't see how it doesn't explain the coast terminology.  Whether or not the coast=liberal assumption is justified is a whole other debate.--68.74.205.194 03:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Absolutely nothing about this article makes sense. "Socialist hotbed" = "athens" = "coast"?

As to how a communist can be a Scout, remember the period, there were not yet Pioneers. In Russia, the rightist Scout leaders went into exile, the leftist ones became Pioneer leaders. Scouting has always been apolitical-any Scout camp I've ever been to you'll have political discussions of all stripes, even spirited ones about who should and should not be a Scout. My county is the second-most Republican county in the US (our stretch of interstate is the Ronald Reagan Highway), yet one of the best Scout leaders I ever knew, who died two years ago, perennially tried and failed to run for political office here as a socialist-leaning Democrat.

Talk:Landau damping

message: The picure is not only misleading but does not fit.
All depends on the velocity distribution of the charged particles and the reatio of particle seepd to the phase velocity of the incoming wave.
Particles with smaller speed than the wave will gain energie from the wave, since they are accelerated to the resonant state.
Particles with faster speed than the wave are able to: get energy from the wave and move away from resonance or can loose energey and come more into the resontant state. It is more likely that charged particles near the resonant state interact with the wave. Meaning these particles will give energy to the wave.
Which process dominates? Depends on the velocity distribution of charged particles. Assuming kindergarten Maxwell: There are always less particles with a speed higher than the phase speed of wave => Wave is damped!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.106.236.212 (talk) 09:17, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Be careful when describing Landau damping.  It has nothing to do with particles trapped in the plasma, but with the energy transfer between the field and the plasma itself.

message: My professor told me that he once asked a student of Landau's why Landau was even looking into plasmas to begin with (Landau was known for/more interested in low temperature physics). According to my prof. the student told him that the Soviets asked him to shame Vlasov for political reasons. When I went on to read his paper, the introduction alone convinced me that this reason was plausible. Obviously this type of thing would be off the record, so it wouldn't be fitting to put this into the article, but I was wondering if anyone could corroborate this.Gunblader928 (talk) 23:43, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Langmuir probe

message: I am pleased to see someone finally taking an interest in this article. Nevertheless I am not entirely happy with the recent expansion of Langmuir probe#Triple probe. It repeats some of the derivations already given in the sections on single probes and double probes, but uses a different notation. The logical structure is to first derive the I-V characteristic of a single probe, then to apply that to the special case of two electrodes hooked together to get the I-V characteristic of a double probe, and finally to apply the double probe formula to the special case of a large and constant bias voltage and throw in a floating tip to explain the triple probe. Formulas should not be derived twice. I hope what we see now is only a start. --Art Carlson (talk) 08:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  expansion of Triple probe section 

message: The picture shows a Langmuir probe for measurements in a very specific environment. The probe is spherical and has a diameter of 50 mm or so. 
Usually in probe diagnostics, one has to make the probe surface as small as possible, to keep the disturbance of the probe small. At the same time, the probe should still draw enough current to be measured precisely. One should also try to stay either in thick sheath or thin sheath regime, if orbital motion of ions plays into account. 
For me, who's a lab experimentalist, the shown probe is really huge! Typical probe dimensions for my purposes are 7 mm long 100 microns in diameter (cylindrical probes). However, depending on the discharge conditions, it can look very different, e.g. if you use buffled probes in magnetized environment.
Maybe it is possible to add some more pictures! --134.245.68.90 (talk) 12:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

message: How does one reconcile linear polarization with the fact that a singular photon (always circularly polarized either parallel or anti-parallel to its direction of motion) consists of the electric and magnetic field oscillating in quadrature about a common axis?

https://i.imgur.com/zofvpkI.png
A sinusoid is a circular function. You'll note the peak amplitude of the sinusoid is analogous to the radius of the circle, the peak-to-peak amplitude is analogous to the diameter of the circle, and the frequency of the sinusoid is analogous to the rotational rate of the circle. You'll further note the circumference of the circle is equal to 2 pi radians, and the wavelength of a sinusoid is equal to 2 pi radians, so the wavelength of the sinusoid is analogous to the circumference of the circle.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around exactly how linear polarization of a macroscopic electromagnetic wave (the tensor product of many singular circularly polarized photons) comes about.

Talk:Liquefaction of gases

message: could you please explain how the following two statements - the first from the article - can coexist?:
"While expanding, the gas has to do work as it is led through an expansion turbine. The gas is not yet liquid, since that would destroy the turbine."
"In most instances, the inlet gas to the expander is very cold and
at or near saturation. This means that the gas passing through the
expander will not only get colder, but some of the heavier compo-
nents will also liquefy. Usually, this liquid contains valuable
product that is recovered as a result of the condensation process,
making the plant more efficient. The amount of this liquid can vary
from about zero to 50 percent of the inlet stream (weight percent-
age basis), depending on the process conditions."

if there is a contradiction please correct the article. thanx! 
one also asks oneself what the sense of "The gas is not yet liquid" could be? if it were liquid already it would not have to be liquefied... so is what's meant here a mixture of gas and liquid? then the formulation should be: "in the inlet-stream there is not yet any liquid component, ..." 
I would add: "However liquid droplets may form inside the expander, up to 50 % of the inlet stream."
if I understand well this enhances enormously the efficiency of the process because the phase change energy must appear at the shaft of the expander (while already liquefying a part of the medium), or not?
