thread_title: Siblings

message: This article gives Thomas' mother's maiden name as Fannie Bradley (unsourced - and not in either of the stated sources, BARE and Silvester, that I have in front of me).  However, Peter Silvester, in his book A Left Hand Like God, p.52, says in reference to Clay Custer's recording of "The Rocks" - written by Thomas - that: "It is generally held that Thomas was both the composer and the pianist who made the recording in February 1923, although the pianist's name is Clay Custer.  The link between Thomas and the soubriquet he used is to be found in the maiden name of his mother, which was Custer."  Unfortunately neither Silvester's book, nor this article, give any sources for these contradictory pieces of information on Thomas' mother's maiden name.  If the information in this article is correct (that his mother's maiden name was Bradley), it throws into question the reasoning behind Silvester's claim that the pianist Custer was actually Thomas.  Or, there could be another explanation - perhaps that Thomas' mother had taken the name Bradley from a previous marriage.  In any case, so far as the article is concerned, it does seem to be reliably reported that Custer was actually Thomas.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

Not sure what those refer to; links to the articles describing them would be helpful.  (2)  The material talking about what this model explains should be separated at least into another paragraph, if not a whole different section.

message: One point that should be discussed more thoroughly is the role of dimensionality in the Hubbard model. It should be emphasized that the 2D Hubbard model is the model of particular interest for comparing with high-temperature superconductors, and we have no good theory approaches to do this. Currently there is a nice discussion of the 1D model, and the point is made that dynamical mean-field theory captures the infinite-dimensional model well, but there is no discussion of other dimensions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ptbrown1729 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

message: SimCopter programmer once deployed armies of digital himbos for good
https://www.avclub.com/simcopter-programmer-once-deployed-armies-of-digital-hi-1844132990
>Since the internet has decided to throw us all neck-deep into the choppy waters of “himbo” discourse, our minds have been preoccupied with times when these kind, dim-witted, beautiful boys have played a role, large or small, in history. One example of this comes from a mostly-forgotten SimCity spin-off called SimCopter, which, thanks to the work of a frustrated programmer, thwarted an attempt to offer players the usual ‘90s video game sexism by replacing “bimbos” with muscly, affectionate doofuses in speedos.
>The story of how SimCopter came to include riots of blockily-rendered bodybuilders has been detailed a few times over the years, including in a retrospective video by Chris Chapman. The SimCopter “bug” was created by programmer Jacques Servin, who, in an article from Wired about these “boy ‘bimbos’” published back in ‘96, said his job on the game was to design its characters. Servin says that the artist who “used my editor to make the bodies” was “aggressively heterosexual, and made several ‘bimbos’” that would show up in-game to celebrate stuff like finishing a mission. “At a certain point, I wondered, ‘Bimbos—why not studs?’” Servin recalled.
https://www.wired.com/1996/12/boy-bimbos-too-much-for-game-maker-maxis/
https://tcrf.net/SimCopter#.22Himbo.22_Easter_Egg
>During development, programmer and activist Jacques Servin inserted an Easter egg that generated shirtless men in Speedo trunks ("himbos") who hug and kiss each other and appear in great numbers on certain dates, such as September 30 (Servin's birthday) and Friday the 13th. The shirtless men's nipples are rendered using the "fullbright" color palette (normally used for fog-piercing lights, such as on runways or building tops) and are visible from great distances or in the dark. The egg was caught shortly after release and removed from future copies of the game, with Servin fired for adding unauthorized content. He cited his actions as a response to the intolerable working conditions he allegedly suffered at Maxis.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30145646
>Jacques Severn is the "homosexual programmer at Maxis" who was responsible for the easter egg. The term he used for the buff dudes in speedos was "himbos" (male bimbos).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A46E:A9E5:1:5551:3308:1761:4498 (talk) 10:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:X-ray absorption spectroscopy

message: It seems to be that this article is not really describing XAS, but mainly XAFS instead.
XAS can in deed include XAFS but it should be better distinguished. XAS is more like a superior group label for absorption spectroscopy. Maybe a useful way to separate is, that XAS is particularly looking for the "disappearance" of photons due to absorption. Also is it not needed to have monochromatic light for XAS, while for XAFS it is needed (with some exceptions like the method used at ID24 in Genoble.)
XAFS to the contrary is only specifically concerned with the fine structure (or so called "oscillations" in the proximity of an absorption edge. It can be separated in to XANES (=NEXAFS) and EXAFS.
Again, XAFS can be considered as part of XAS, but the Article does not describe XAS, but rather the special case of XAFS.

thread_title:  Fractal structures in physics 

message: Hello.
The Hofstadter's butterfly has been studied in graphene/hBN superlattices in my research group at the University of Manchester for some time now. We recently published a study reporting limits of the Hofstadter's butterfly in graphene superlattices. Particularly, low temperatures allow to lift the degeneracy of Hofstadter/Wannier's states through exchange interactions, as well as bending features appear for negative carrier charges, unpredicted from a theoretical standpoint. For this reason, Hofstadter's states at high magnetic fields may be referred to as 'Brown-Zak fermions'.
For obvious conflict of interest, I will not edit the page myself to add this, but let other authors judge the pertinence of such information on the article.

replies: text: Sorry to answer so late, but no the two are not equivalent or identical as the article wrongly suggests. Yes the two are similar phenomena but not every CDW is always a spin density wave. You may very well have a CDW together with magnetic properties resembling Pauli paramagnetism. Perhaps the title of this article should be "density wave" and there should be two headings for charge and spin DW's. Alternatively there should simply be two pages.

Talk:Dry Falls

message: I calculated the kinetic energy of the falls using the figures provided in the text and the formula
: E_t = \begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix} mv^2 
Mass is nine cubic miles per hour; Velocity is 45 miles per hour (although a 65 mile per hour figure is also given, making this a conservative calculation.
Nine cubic miles is 37.5 cubic km. Assuming one cubic m of water weighs 1000 kilograms, that's 3.75x1013 kg
Divide by 3600 to get kg per second: 1.04x1010
45 miles per hour is approximately 20 metres per second.
0.5 x 1.04x1010 x (20x20)
= 2.08x1012 Joules
As this figure is calculated per second, it is identical to 2.08x1012 Watts, ie, 2.08 Terawatts.
