Talk:Polyakov action

message: There's a bit of sleight of hand in your discussion of the equations of motion:  the target spacetime metric magically becomes Minkowski!  We only get nice free field theories for the bosons X^mu when the target is flat.  In general the EOMs are not massless wave equations.  Don't mean to be pedantic but up till then the discussion has been nicely general.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.246.148 (talk) 00:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Premelting

message: "Premelting shows its effects in e.g. frost heave the growth of snowflakes and, taking grain boundary interfaces into account, maybe even in the movement of glaciers."
FX (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  This doesn't seem to be right 

message: Melting can begin from the interior in the case of absorbed radiative energy, especially if it is focused within an object but not focused at the surface of the object. Consider ice under a lens in sunlight, or ice stimulated by focused ultrasound. 
Another object that can melt from within, without external "tampering" such as applying focused energy, is a large enough piece of something that releases its own energy constantly, such as a radioactive metal. In this case, the outside will be the coolest portion by a significant factor. 
I get the feeling this article was written as if anything Faraday said must be some sort of gospel that can be applied to every aspect of everything, instead of only to the actual situations that Faraday said were valid.. this is, unfortunately, all too common with presenting science to the public. Zaphraud (talk) 22:56, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Limitations of theory 

message: The introduction states that premelting results in a "quasi-liquid" film on the surface of a solid.
However, the "Ice skating" section talks about there being a thin film of water present. It states that, "due to premelting effects there is always a thin film of liquid water on the ice surface".
This is a contradiction because the introduction states that premelting results in a quasi-liquid film, while the ice skating section says that it's a liquid water film. Hb2007 (talk) 21:36, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:The Roman Mysteries

message: I reverted to my previous edits and made some minor changes.
I reverted because the old page contained a series of dead wikilinks - none of the pages beyond Jonathan have been created yet, so having dead links is pointless.  If the articles are created, link the characters then.  
I removed everything from the category tags beyond the categories themselves 'cause they didn't seem to do anything.
I re-worded the introductory paragraph to be less point of view (i.e. calling series entertaining) while stilll containing the historical links, adding a link to pliny the elder.
All of the books I removed the plot summaries as they made the page sound like a publishing blurb, but kept the tags for those yet to be published.  
The TV series reference I embedded in the text so it looks cleaner.  
I also changed the header, and replaced 'chronological order' with order of publication - I'm not acutally sure if it's accurate (i.e. whether the publication order follows chronological within the plot) but it seemed to make sense.

Talk:Stagnation pressure

message: I don't understand why the thermal form of stagnation pressure is presented here. Stagnation pressure is the pressure a moving fluid would have if it is stagnated or stopped. It is difficult to clearly communicate this in a formula that makes no reference to velocity. Stagnation pressure is constant in an eisentropic flow. P_s = P + \rho v^2  where P_s is the stagnation pressure, P is the pressure at a given velocity, \rho is density and v is velocity. Granted that any change in v must be accompanied by a change in temperature T, but to someone that is un initiated in the art of fluid dynamics this is probably not obvious. This is especially true when working with an incompressible fluid such as water.
Adding heat to a moving gas at constant pressure and velocity reduces its density and stagnation pressure. Conversley cooling a moving gas at constant pressure and velocity has the oposite effect. US Patent 5,083,429describes a device that uses this effect to extract power.  .—Preceding unsigned comment added by Commdweeb (talk • contribs)

Talk:Genroku

message: (1) Kusunose just recently added "Ulleung-do" in the context of noteworthy events of Genroku 9.  I wonder if maybe this would be better introduced in the context of a note, if at all? Perhaps this discussion page is an appropriate venue to explain what I've done and to invite comment or further edits?
::* Genroku 9 (1696):
::** Crossing the sea to Takeshima(竹島) banned.
::::<ref.>Takeshima is also known today as Ulleung-do (울릉도).  Although the Liancourt Rocks were not considered disputed territory in Genroku, South Korea claims it as Korean territory from records that date back to the sixth century during the Unified Silla period and on the 1900 Korean Empire ordinance officially incorporating three islands into modern Ulleung County. Japanese claims come from seventeenth century records, as well as a "terra nullius" incorporation in 1905. Today, South Korea classifies the islets as a part of Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province, while Japan classifies them as part of Okinoshima, in Oki District, Shimane Prefecture.<./ref>Image:Part of Kaisei Nihon Yochi Rotei Zenzu.jpg|Kaisei Nihon Yochi Rotei Zenzu (part, 1775, Japan).  Matsushima (松島) appears at 37°50′N, 131°40′E with Takeshima (竹島), aka. Isotakeshima (一云 磯竹島) at around 37°80′N, 131°00′E.
(2) As I did not myself upload the information about this Takeshima travel ban -- and since there is no source cited for this minor "fact", I'm at a loss to assess whether its reliability.  I suppose it's possible that the bakufu's travel ban, if it were verified, might have been intended to apply to some other Takeshima island?    I notice that there appear to be a number of unresolved issues in the Joseon and Edo Period segment of the Liancourt Rocks article; and the discussion page does suggest additional unanswered questions.  Again, it seems appropriate to invite comment or further edits?  Ooperhoofd 17:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
