Talk:Complex differential form

message: Great job, SR!. Charles Matthews 12:44, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The article states:
:By the Cauchy-Riemann equations, one can show that if we used a different holomorphic coordinate system wj, the spaces Ω1,0 and Ω0,1 are stable.
What does the word "stable" mean here? I can guess that maybe its a synonym for "invariant" or "complete". However "stable" also connotes the idea that its immune to small perturbations, and I don't think that that is what is meant.  linas 23:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, after nearly eight months...  My inclination is to leave the word stable.  To be completely precise, one would have to say "stabilized under the biholomorphism group" which is sort of a mouthful.  Invariant is not correct, since the spaces are not invariant.  They are equivariant, but that opens a whole other can of worms.  I've changed the sentence structure and added a bit of clarification.  Let me know if it's okay.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Talk:Gunwale

message: The entry for "gunwale" does exist on Wikipedia, but does not contain a discussion of the terms 'inwale' and 'outwale' that are used by boat builders, restorers, etc.  I am not a technical expert, but I have pasted in a reply that I received from an inquiry to the Thistle Class listserver.
"On a boat like the Thistle, (without a deck) the hull usually has some reinforcing around the top of the hull.  On the inside of the hull it is the inwale (inner wale) and the outside of the hull it is the outwale (outer wale).  Together these are referred to as the rails."
* Terms 'inwale' and 'outwale' may either be US specific terminology and not in general usage OR very old terms and no longer referred to or used.  A similarly example is 'Larboard' which has long since disappeared from usage and replaced by the term 'port'.  I have been involved with nautical stuff for a long while and not heard of 'inwale' or 'outwale'.  Interesting to see if other contributors can shed more light on the subject.

Talk:Isotopes of roentgenium

message: NUBASE2020 said that 280Rg (T1/2 = 4.3(5) s) is 100% α. Indeed, the energy difference between 280Rg and 280Ds is (280.16514 - 280.16131)×931.4941 = 3.5676 MeV, which is much much higher than the 1.022 MeV threshold of positron emission, so EC seems strange here. 129.104.241.162 (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been some unclarity regarding what exactly is happening in the decay chains of moscovium isotopes, because the detectors used in the experiments could not detect EC. I suspect that weak decay modes exist for some of the intermediate steps (and indeed it's quite plausibly positron emission instead of EC), but that they are small enough branches that current statistics do not allow us to pin them down. Hopefully, the SHE factory will change this, but current results still are not enough. Double sharp (talk) 15:12, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Isotopes of phosphorus

message: The isotope 32P is listed as being present in "trace" amounts in nature, but no clarification is given. Is this isotope formed cosmogenically or only by the β- decay of 32Si (which is cosmogenic)? If it's cosmogenic, this should be clarified in the "range of natural variation" section with a link to the article on Cosmogenic nuclides. If not, there should be a note clarifying its existence only as a decay product. I'd fix it myself if it weren't for the possibility of cosmogenic 32P.

Talk:Tokugawa Ietsuna

message: An interested editor "tweaked" the succession boxes in articles about the 15 Tokugawa shoguns; and the change became a thread topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Tokugawa shoguns.  Although a corollary thread topic was posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Royalty#Japanese shoguns, no comments or suggestions were elicited.
Aumnamahashiva substituted "regnal" succession boxes; and an plausible  rationale for those edits was offered, focusing primarily on the functional sense in which the Tokugawas were hereditary autocrats.  In contrast was an argument that the regnal succession box is, by definition, misapplied.  Although the terms "reign" and "rule" are conventionally used by scholars, neither the Tokugawa, the Ashikaga, the Hōjō nor the Minamoto shoguns were "royalty" as that term is defined in Japanese history and culture.
Participation in this thread was limited, but I construed it as sufficient justification to restore the previous (non-regnal) succession box.  This explanation and the links to soon-to-be-archived threads may prove to be helpful in the  future? --Tenmei (talk) 14:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
