Talk:Connectedness

message: The previous version of this page, being primarily about topological spaces, was moved to connected space. As discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, I have restarted the page, writing an overview of mathematical usage of the word "connectedness", and similar terms. This is intended to be somewhat lower level than most of Wikipedia's mathematics articles (although I'm not sure how well I have succeeded at this).
Naturally, what I wrote emphasizes what I know. I did not intentionally slight any subfields of mathematics. Experts in other fields that use "connectedness" and similar terminology are highly encouraged to expand this article.
In any case, I would be interested in what people think about this. Is this a good sort of article to have here? Should there be others like it? (Answers to the latter question might be better discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics.)

Talk:Gene sequencing

message: just of few thoughts
* list of companies dealing with gene sequencing, and patents on human genes. A start 
* an article on one of these companies
* indicating strategic choices, such as "which organisms are being sequenced now and why"; (bacteria, crops, humans)
* how much of the sequencing achieved for a few species
* clearly indicate which techniques are being used right now. Adding stuff on micro-arrays
* shortly define notions of intron and exon
* a nice picture of a bacterial circular genome with sequences sma, rsr
* indicate that genes are not the only way transmissible info is stored
* limits of the information
::perhaps a list of universities that are publishing or using distributed apps to sequence lots of DNA?

Talk:Bavaria

message: I'm afraid I don't understand the single sentence second paragraph about Bavaria being the only  German  State that never belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia.  This is manifestly untrue. Neither did the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Wuerttemberg, the Grand Duchy of Baden nor the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg/Strelitz/ Schwerin and Oldenburg,etc.  belong to the Kingdom of Prussia.  That needs to be corrected if it means what it says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Headman13 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: 1. Old Bavarian didn't become Old High German. It is classified as such among other German dialects like Allemannic. 
2. The bavarians are basically elbe Germanic in their origin with a strong celtic and a smaller roman substrate. They obviously migrated there at some point.

thread_title:  The antiquity section is bizzare. 

message: I am of the opinion that the Economics section is pretty clunky and could use some major overhaul, including getting rid of some of the pictures and condensing everything down to a couple of paragraphs of prose. I don't think the images of silicon wavers or the Eurofighter contribute much to the readers understanding of the concept of bavaria. There also is an entire section about oil refinement (including pictures), which essentially states that oil refinement is not a major branch of bavarian economics. I am not entirely sure on what to keep and what to get rid of, so if anyone has thoughts on the matter, I would appreciate some input.
I think the Economy sections on the articles for Baden-Württemberg or North Rhine-Westphalia could serve as an example of how it should roughly be outlined. AmbitiousAmphibian (talk) 20:32, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

and I understand that, and I understand "mean squared error" and the like, but "least mean squares" seems like a mixed metaphor.   -- Mike Hardy

message: I propose redirecting this page to London, Midland and Scottish Railway and then having a disambiguation link to LMS (disambiguation) containing the current content of this page. I propose this as LMS (along with LNER & GWR) are abbreviations that have entered comon parlance in the UK & Europe. The other articles simply refer to abbrebiations that could be conitated from the main article (E.g. Liam Makes Saws) . A similar thing has been done for a lot of other articles (E.g. See MNG). -- Rehnn83 Talk 11:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I strongly disagree and have redirected it to LMS (disambiguation) instead.  The Least mean squares filter is very important, and I routinely look it up via the abbreviation LMS.  I would go so far to say that the algorithm is much more notable than the rail company (every electrical engineer and communications engineer knows what it is).  Thus, we can just have this page to to the disambig page as a compromise.  --CapitalR 15:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "Based on purely technical concerns, such as improving the performance of the steam engine, Sadi Carnot's intellect laid the groundwork for modern science technological designs, such as the automobile or jet engine."
I do not understand this sentence. Why is improving the performance of the steam engine specifically a technical concern? Did Carnot really improve the steam engine, or did he explain the actual efficiency of the steam engine? I think he primarily was a physicist, not an engineer (like James Watt).
Finally, the relationship with making "technological designs" is totally unclear to me. Rbakels (talk) 23:35, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

message: This section:
The simplified method works by considering two cities along the same meridian and measuring both the distance between them and the difference in angles of the shadows cast by the sun on a vertical rod (a gnomon) in each city at noon on the summer solstice.
I don't think there is any requirement for the two cities to be at the same meridian if each measurement is taken at Local Apparent Noon (LAN). At LAN in Syene at summer solstice there would be no shadow and at Alexandria On the same day LAN could be determined as the time the shadow of a gnomon was at it shortest.CaptCarlsen (talk) 16:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
