Talk:Energy value of coal

message: This article needs a new title as well.  How about "Energy value of coal"? Gene Nygaard 06:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: This article was tagged for context so I added an intro paragraph above the heading India.  Now the material I just added should be reviewed for cleanup then the context tag can be removed (if this fixes it). RJFJR 17:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Intro

message: I cleaned up the article as much as possible. I also removed the following body of text, as in its current state it is completely useless (please see patent nonsense for more information on this topic). If anyone has the knowledge to reword this information into a useful state and reinsert it back into the article, then by all means do so. 
Deleted text:
 ====Empirical Relationship of GCV, UHV, and NCV====
 *UHV: Useful heat value = 8900 - 138(A+M)
 *GCV: Gross Calorific Value = (UHV + 3645 -75.4 M)/1.466
 *NCV: Net Calorific Value = GCV - 10.02M
 ::UHV, GCV, NCV in kcal/kg, “A” is %age Ash; “M” is %age Moisture.

thread_title:  Cleanup and removal of text 

message: An estimate of the actual value would be nice, if anyone has a number they are sure of.  Assuming X% conversion efficiency, 1 ton of coal = X joules = X kWh?  I wish I could find these numbers on the internet, but I am finding a lot of conflicting information.
THis forular to estimate the CV of coal is very useful, however we could do with some more information:
- full reference for this Dulong chap
- is the calorific value (Q) gross or net?
- are the elemental contents (C, H, O and S) 'as received' or 'dry ash free' etc. 
There are several other correlations which could go in to this article as well. Good start though.

message: There is a fair amount of radiation that comes out of the burning of coal. There are some efforts to use the radiated ash and refine it for nuclear power. Should this be mentioned here?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reconbot (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Facet

message: I am a first-time gem buyer, and I find the jargon a little forbidding. Table, antique, cabochon, trilliant, etc. I have guessed at the meaning of a few of these, but I don't want to spend good money based on my guesses and a web picture or two.
Does anyone have a good reference for a list of such terms, so I can decide what they mean? In particular, right now I'm looking for stones carved fairly flat so a setting wouldn't have to be too thick.
Thanks for any help!

Talk:Otto Berman

message: Apparently, this guy could use differential equations and probability while filing financial statements. I dug around for a sample and came back empty handed. Could be very interesting to link it if someone get lucky  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wk muriithi (talk • contribs) 02:03, 18 December , 2004 (UTC)
"The winning policy numbers were derived from horse race tracks from the betting results on the pari-mutuel boards. Berman told Schultz that he could manipulate the betting so that heavily played numbers would never win. At first Schultz turned him down because he wanted to keep the game honest. However, the following year when Schultz was embroiled in expensive tax matters, he hired Berman. 
"Berman would go to the designated track where the winning policy numbers would be established, usually Cincinnati (where Schultz had hidden ownership in River Downs Race Track), New Orleans, or in Florida. After the races were concluded that produced the first two numbers, he would call George Weinberg in New York who would tell him which numbers would cost them the most money for that day. Berman would then go to the pari-mutuel windows and place a bet that would influence the third digit in the gang’s favor. Once when asked about the success of Berman’s efforts, George Weinberg replied, “pretty near everyday was a winning day.” Estimates of Schultz’s income from the policy rackets were from $12 to $14 million annually." - http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/mob_bosses/schultz/rackets_3.html -- Beardo 06:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Evaporative cooling (atomic physics)

message: The article contains the analogy:
:A way to visualize this is to take a bowl and fill it almost all the way up with popcorn. Then shake the bowl enough so that the bouncing isn't enough to spill over the side. Every so often one of the popped corns will jump out, "evaporating" from the bowl.
This seems misleading to me, since in the popcorn case the energy that ejects the popcorn from the bowl comes from an external source (the shaking) whereas in evaporative cooling it comes from the heat energy of the particles. Maybe ordinary evaporative cooling would be a better analogy? Gdr 01:30, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
The analogy is indeed somewhat incorrect! If the original author has no objections, can I replace this with a explanatory animation?
--BotCyborg (talk) 19:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Analogy

message: The article claims that temperatures around 50 picoKelvin are needed to make a BEC from Rubidium atoms.  According to Weiman, Cornel et al. however, temperatures only need to be in the tens of microKelvins.  Since they won the nobel prize for making the first gaseous BEC out of Rubidium, I say we go with their numbers.

thread_title:  Temperature change 

message: I suggest to change the title of the article into something more general (evaporative cooling - or, as this is already used - evaporative cooling (atomic physics)). The reason is that many experiments nowadays use optical dipole traps in which they perform evaporative cooling as well.

message: In Chinese "Guan yin" Bodhisattva means Avalokitesvara.  In the heart Sutra, "Guan Zhi Zai" Bodhisattva may be misunderstood as the "Guan Yin" Bodhisattva because of the word "Guan".
In Chinese, "Guan" also means observe, "Zhi Zai" means unshackled, freedom, unrestraint etc.  So "Guan Zhi Zai" Bodhisattva can also mean those who "see the unshackled mode of consciousness" and practicing the Bodhisattva way of life.

*About how big is this thing? Six feet? Six inches?
-depends on the height of the ceiling it is being installed in.
*Is it carried in the hands, or a fixture, or something else? Or are there several types?
*Is it round in cross section? Or something else? Or doesn't it really matter?
-yes it is round
*If it's an invention, who invented it and about when? Ancient Rome? Soho in the 1920s? Or unknown and lost in the history of stripping? Or is invention just flowery language?
*Is it common? Would you be expected to know how to use one to get a job as a stripper? Or is its use restricted to certain cultures (which)?
-No you would not be expected to know how to use one if you want to be a stripper, you would however need to know how to use it, if you wanted to be a pole dancer
*Did any of the famous strippers listed in our main article use one?
If we can't answer at least a few of these questions, then is it perhaps a neologism and should be relisted on VfD (assuming it gets through this time)? The question of size and general purpose should probably be answered in the first paragraph. It is partly answered in the striptease article, but it's still a bit obscure and I don't feel competent to transcribe the information (if information it be, rather than speculation).

Talk:Buoyancy

message: Changed the example's units from pounds to Newtons to maintain the use of SI on Wikipedia.
:It is conventional in English to write "3 pounds of water" when one means a quantity of water that weighs 3 pounds.  But does one follow that usage with Newtons? Michael Hardy 21:48, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not conventional to refer to Newtons of water, but then, one asks, why does one normally measure out peas or potatoes by the pound or kilogram, which can be considered (in violation of current standards) force? The answer is that one is measuring, or ought to be measuring mass; weight is being used as a surrogate. If a spring scale is used, one is achieving a measure that depends on the local acceleration of gravity, but if a balance is used, one measures mass. The bouyancy discussion is really almost independent of the local acceleration of gravity, unless that somehow varies grossly over the experimental region. That never holds in common experience with buoyancy, although the variations of gravity and centrifugal force do affect the geoid.  When you speak of such and so many Newtons of water, you refer to a mass that depends on local gravity.  It is probably better to couch everything as much as possible in terms of masses, or of densities and volumes.

Talk:Race and intelligence/Archive 3

message: When looking diffrences in intelligence betwenn races one could look at history. The histories of civilazation have been fairly well documented. Many races have demonstrated the ability to create and maintain civilization time and time agian others have not. Some races have never developed civilazation on there own. If you look at the races that have never created a civilaztion and compare that to existing civilaztions that consist of races who were given civilaztion by outside sources you will see that these very same groups seem to have trouble maintaining them on there own. Looking at the cultural and technological history  of humans you can see that there seems to be a direct correlation between their relitive cultural and technological achievement and their iq scores ie Asians were for long period of time the most culturally and technologiclly advanced race for a couple thousand years(caucasians moved ahead in the last 4oo years or so) the have the highest mean iq scores, Europeans were the second they fall in second place in iq as well with Africans at the bottom of technological achievement and iq scores. This seems to be significant.

classifications and civilaztions for the sake of simplicity but you get the idea.
