Talk:Quasistatic equilibrium

message: "A quasistatic process is not necessarily a reversible one." Give examples of such non-reversible quasistatic processes. GangofOne 04:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: It's unfortunate that quasi-static processes were defined so they include non-equilibrium processes and don't even exist. Yes, we all know to avoid them.
However, chemistry texts that offer such warnings give definitions of equilibrium and equilibrium paths in terms of reversibility, so geologists are often convinced equilibrium doesn't exist between minerals in rocks. A quasi-static equilibrium path does not require reversibility, and scatter-graphs show that most metamorphic and igneous rocks have taken such paths.
We can measure the rate of change of a system's environment; and by using isotopes, we can measure the rate of change of the system's reactions. When the latter are faster than the environmental change, the system will be in equilibrium at every moment. In geology, when hydrous reactions among minerals are certainly faster than changes in the environment, rocks travel equilibrium paths. The equilibrium assemblage allows one to calculate the system's environment.
This is not quite the same as 'local equilibrium', which concerns points in space, not time. There needs to be a good term for 'quasi-static equilibrium'. (Equilibrium paths can be reversible by violating the 2d Law, but are not and do not in rocks. This term will not do.)
In my own research, I've changed 'conjugate' to 'dual' and corrected other misused terms. Though the Wikipedia may not be the place to re-define a term, 'quasi-static equilibrium' is perhaps the best choice for this badly needed concept.

Talk:Kenneth Ring

message: All my (Neardeathcom) edits were deleted. Mr.Ollie says I have a "conflict of interest" because I created Kenneth Ring's website at KenRing.org. However, I have never met Ken Ring. I only corresponded with him by email a few times to create a website for him and try to update his Wikipedia page. I don't believe I have a "conflict of interest", but if Mr. Ollie says so, that's OK. I will find an editor who can submit edit requests.

message: Aside from the usual back-and-forth of people (fans) persistently adding in his 101 vacated wins, there seems to be an issue with his career losses as well. I entered his seasonal W-L records as listed here into a spreadsheet, and as of tonight's loss, I have it at 376. His page at https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/coaches/jim-boeheim-1.html (which includes his vacated wins in his career total)  shows him at 375 before tonight's loss, so this validates the 376 that I came up.

Talk:Vagn Holmboe

message: This article could use some better punctuation and syntax (and also some links for the list of works). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.235.130 (talk • contribs) 
:The list of works has basically one reference really- Rapoport's book in its most recent edition (a complete list and discography of his works up to almost the end of Holmboe's life). One other partial list (with opus numbers) can be found at Holmboe at Edition Wilhelm Hansen . Schissel | Sound the Note! 13:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Paul Rapoport's idea of renumbering the works doubtless gives a truer idea of the vastness of the total, and it's nice to honor both Meta May and the Metamorphosis principle, but meanwhile this cuts the Wikipedia article off from other sources such as the Schwann Opus catalog which are entirely oriented to opus numbers.
Maybe the opus numbers can be given in parentheses?  More clutter, but at least staying in touch.
Holmboe put some thought, it seems, into choosing his opus numbers.  For example, Concerto No. 11 for Trumpet, Two Horns and String Orchestra, 0p. 44-- the eleven matches the two horns and the forty-four is like the cross-hatching and stroking of all those fiddles.  Or Symphony No. 9, 0p. 95-- echoes the title of a certain Dvorak work?  And what about the only Quartet No. 11, Op. 111 in the history of the planet, or Symphony No. 11, Op. 144?Tokerdesigner (talk) 00:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Meta numbers versus opus numbers

message: These may exist (I believe he did conduct some performances, even premieres, of his music, as I recall, especially early on?) but I don't know of them. What I believe this referred to was performances of Holmboe's music conducted by Malko and by Fritz Mahler (Holmboe's 7th symphony, in both cases, as I recall, the former possibly a very striking world premiere performance). There is or was another with a performance of the Requiem for Nietzsche, I think, and another was a memorable tape of the oboe quintet Musik til Morten, e.g. But these were not conducted by Holmboe. In some cases they were the only representatives of those works in any kind of audible circulation at all before commercial recordings were released, though.

message: I think that this parasite is actually called Taeniarhynchus saginata.  It is not the same genus as the "pig tapeworm" Taenia solium.  It should be noted however that CDC does not make this distinction in their classification.
:This user appears to be correct: Taeniarhynchus saginata is a synonym for Taenia saginata, but it fails the google test by a large margin.  Still, the pages that use both terms seem to prefer Taeniarhynchus.  I couldn't find anything definitive, so for now, I think we should keep it with the more commonly used name.

Talk:Boston cooler

message: I qualified the statement that the Boston cooler owes its origin to Boston Blvd. in Detroit. As Gay writes (see sources), "A soda made with James Vernor's earlier creation of Vernor's Ginger Ale was called a 'Boston cooler.' Why Boston? ... Nobody knows" (p. 8). Of course, Google now brings up many references connecting the Boston cooler to Detroit, but most of these postdate the claim when made in this Wikipedia article—and seem to depend upon it. So, if we state this unequivocally here, we need to provide a definitive source. If someone has additional information on this, please include it (and cite) in the article. 
Also, note that Boston cooler should be spelled without the initial capital on the second word (since it is not a trade name). I will leave it to an admin to fix that, however. --Tom Allen 06:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

So the T-34 had:
- good firepower
- good mobility
- good armour.
And the M4, which the article claims "had many of these virtues", does not have:
- good firepower
- goor armour.
Isn't this a bit contradictory? At first it is claimed that the M4 was almost as good, but then revealed that it was deficient in two thirds of the areas in which the T-34 was good at?

message: It has been ten years since I last did major edits on this page. Back then, there was a disbalance focusing on antibody epitopes. This has crept back over time. The term 'epitope' covers both T cell and antibody recognition targets. The first paragraph should focus on what is true for both, rather than giving examples that are only true for antibodies. Tellingly, in a recent edit the 'for example' preceding the statement that epitopes are bound by antibodies was replaced by 'in other words', making the entire section wrong. I reversed that edit, and would like to spend more quality time re-arranging the entire article, starting with a general description of epitopes and moving all bits with B cell and T cell specific information to subsequent sections. So this is a heads-up. Please do comment and use the talk page if I am messing things up.
