Talk:Friedrich Marby

message: "Interestingly, not all rune scholars subscribed wholeheartedly to the racist, anti-Semitic interpretation of the Eddas. For example, one rune occultist, Friedrich Bernhard Marby (1882- 1966), synthesised rune scholarship with astrology after encountering the writings of Guido von List."
What's that? Marbys Weltanschauung was based on racism. You can read that in all of his works. (WI) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.62.163.121  (talk • contribs) 
Yes, the long quote blocks raise both NPOV and copyright concerns. They should be rephrased. In fact, Kummer and Marby just like Wiligut produced racialist BS. Marby-Kummer may not have been actual Nazis, but that doesn't change their basic racialist outlook. dab (𒁳) 19:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of Roman generals

message: This list appears to have no particular purpose or definition. Every commander of a Roman army and/or province, and his senior subordinates, strictly rate as Roman generals, but since the source material is heavily skewed towards military action and adventure, and all the senior Roman public offices included military as well as civic command duties and powers, such a list would constitute the majority of attested Romans about whom more than a few lines of information is known.
I'd suggest,  just as a starting point for discussion, that there should be other lists for senior magistrates and officials and provincial commanders, and that the generals list should be confined to men who were notable in some way as military commanders. As a rule of thumb I'm thinking of Cicero,  who certainly (eventually) commanded a province and army and was even hailed imperator, but was no general. On the other hand most of his legati in the Cilician command were, including his brother Quintus, who is notable as one of Caesar's leagti in Gallia. Some reasonable "qualification" categories for the Republican period would be a) the viri triumphales, b) attested viri militares of the upper classes,  c) anyone else who was an eminent commander in some way but doesn't fit into the a), b) categories.

Talk:1957 in spaceflight

message: This article says Sputnik 2 failed to separate from launch vehicle. The Sputnik 2 article claims "Unlike Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2 was not designed to detach from the R-7 sustainer core, since Sputnik 1's core stage had demonstrated an acceptable orbital lifespan. This allowed the core's Tral D telemetry system to be used to transmit data, but would lead to speculation that Sputnik 2 had failed to separate."

message: There is some mention of current height/width ratios for joists in this article. however
these seem to reflect modern practice. If one looks at older buildings, for example, in tudor times, it does appear that joists were often square or nearly so. Furthermore they were often much closer to each other than might be necessary.
At what point did this change? Why did it change? Was any one person responsible for this? how did this vary by country?

Talk:International Academy of Sciences San Marino

message: I removed the critique section all together. Universities do not generally have critique sections, and the section was completely unreferenced. It's especially important to have references on critiques, otherwise people just come in and drop their own uncitable critiques. I particularly objected to "By not recognizing the practical dominance of the English language the AIS discriminates against scientists from English-speaking countries", which is illogical. You discriminate against someone by imposing on them requirements that you do not oppose on others; by choosing Esperanto, you impose no requirements on scientists from English-speaking countries that you do not impose on scientists from Russian- or French-speaking countries.--Prosfilaes 13:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

message: *Details of AIS's connections with Esperanto. For example, whose decision was it that Esperanto would be their working language? And why does their literature insist on calling it "International Language" rather than "Esperanto"?
*Why and how did they decide to organize their faculty along such peculiar lines (Karl Popper and so on)? 
*How many students do they have, and from which countries? How many BA's, MA's, Ph.D., and Dr. Habil's have they awarded? Are their degrees awarded solely on the basis of examinations, or is coursework also required? To what extent is this system recognized or respected by the wider European academic community?

Talk:Difference of Gaussians

According to my humble opinion, the Laplacian can be well approximated also for other values of K. Tpl 13:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Just a note: the zero crossing, r,  of the DoG function is given by
:r = \sigma_1 \sqrt{\frac{2 k^2 \ln{k}}{k^2 - 1}}
where \sigma_2 = k \sigma_1. This can easily be derived by the setting function:
:
\frac{1}{\sigma_1\sqrt{2\pi}} \, \exp \left( -\frac{x^2}{2\sigma_1^2} \right)-\frac{1}{\sigma_2\sqrt{2\pi}} \, \exp \left( -\frac{x^2}{2\sigma_2^2} \right) = 0

thread_title:  zero crossing 

message: I was just wondering: Why would anyone favor the use of the difference of Gaussians approach over the "normal" calculation of the laplacian of gaussians? My first idea was that since normal blurred images can be computed with separable (thus quick) convolutions with 1D gaussians so it could be faster.This turned out to be false, since the laplacian of gaussians can also be written as the sum of two separable convolutions (so should be equal in calculation speed). The benefit of the true Laplacian of Gaussians approach is of course that is not an approximation.
Can anyone comment on that?
