Talk:Complete set of Boolean operators

message: Can someone here tell me whether the term "complete Boolean algebra" is in fact used for the concept defined in this article? In Googling the only references I can find to it seem likely to have derived either from an old article at Complete Boolean algebra (before I changed that article to the mathematical notion), or from the following site, http://users.senet.com.au/~dwsmith/concept1.htm , which frankly does not inspire confidence. If the dwsmith article simply made up the term, we should probably remove Complete Boolean algebra (computer science), though the content might be recreated under a different name. --Trovatore 17:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I found someone with Digital Design - Principles and Practices and it says nothing about a complete Boolean algebra, at least not under that term. I'm seriously beginning to wonder what the correct term is - or even if there is an officially recognised one. The concept is certainly a fairly important one, so I think there should be a general name for it... somewhere... 196.34.166.250 07:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Wiarton Willie

message: Groundhog Day is all about making wild claims for your rodent of choice. Here's an excerpt from the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club:
*Punxsutawney Phil is the only true weather forecasting groundhog. The others are just impostors.
*There has only been one Punxsutawney Phil. He has been making predictions for over 119 years!
*Punxsutawney Phil gets his longevity from drinking "groundhog punch," a secret recipe. Phil takes one sip every summer at the Groundhog Picnic and it magically gives him seven more years of life.

You can read it clearly in the autobiography of Wiarton Willie I (as dictated to Mother Nature 1997): "Spring is a Celestial event. Not up to groundhogs or people. But if you need a reason to party then party on!"
These 'scientists' are not great at reading contracts. The deal says "6 weeks, or a month and a half". Willie is 100% accurate.

Talk:The Lenny Henry Show

message: According to IMDB, there were actually two shows called The Lenny Henry Show.  The one I'm familiar with and which seems to be described here is a sketch comedy show; the latter seems like it may have been more of a sitcom, with Lenny played the fixed role of pirate DJ Delbert Watkins. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The 1987 and 1988 series with Henry as Delbert Wilkins should really be regarded as a separate show. It's described as a "spin-off" here.

Talk:Steinhart–Hart equation

message: "Steinhart" vs "Steinhardt"
The correct name for the first author of the Steinhar[d]t-Hart equation is almost certainly Steinhart.  I noticed that the name was not spelled consistently within Wikipedia.  After considerable Google searching, it became evident that "Steinhart" is the correct spelling. I learned that "Hart" is Stanley R. Hart, still a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.  Steinhart's full name, I believe, was John S. Steinhart, former Professor and Professor Emeritus at University of Wisconsin-Madison.  See following links:
http://www.whoi.edu/science/GG/people/shart/publications.htm
http://www.secfac.wisc.edu/senate/2004/0405/1775(mem_res).pdf
Coefficients
The coefficient D is referenced in the where clause, but is not present in the equation. Either the equation is incorrect or the where clause needs to be modified.
more data
I translated this article on the French Wiki, and put some calculation to use it. I let you import those equations from FR to EN (talking French is easier but not needed... it's math). Relation_de_Steinhart-Hart. Enjoy !
units
This equation doesn't make sense. You can't take the log of a resistance. You can only take the log of a dimensionless number. The datasheet I'm holding for some thermistors I'm using instead have R/R25 in the log - the ratio between the measured resistance and the resistance at 25 degrees celcius. The ratio makes it dimensionless, and without that it doesn't make sense - as it is in this article R cannot be resistance in Ohms. 118.139.33.247 (talk) 05:21, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

message: This curve-fitting formula is basically a polynomial regression with missing 2nd order term. Omitting 2nd order term and adding 3rd order term makes no sense to me. I've tested this on a number or NTC sensors I work with, and they all consistently give better approximation with [\ln(R)]^2 instead of [\ln(R)]^3, and even better of course when both are used. I would seriously question scientific credibility of this article and/or original paper. Also, I would question significance of this formula - this is just an inferior special case application of a well known approximation method.  Shcha (talk) 16:49, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

In 1963, Heilbroner earned a Ph.D. from the New School for Social Research, where he was subsequently appointed Norman Thomas Professor of Economics in 1971 and remained for some *fifty* years.
fifteen might be more accurate; I don't know
What's wrong with 50?  He died in 2005 as a professor emeritus.  That's more than 50 years after he arrived as a grad student, and he was at the very least a TA by the mid-50s.  The 1963 date on his Ph.D. is misleading--after all, Worldly Philosophers was published in 1953.

Pretty much every exercise article would need a safety warning along the lines of 'Do it slow.
