Talk:Power gain

message: Maybe this article should be merged with Gain? Silivrenion 22:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You might be right, but power gain is a broad topic. I'm planning on adding more sections to this article to elaborate on the types of power gain, and likely stuff on unilateral gain, stability factors, maximum available gain, etc. The current article on gain is rather simplistic though, and I don't think this material would fit in. I was also hoping someone would step in and help me out :) Roger 23:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: @Rogerbrent Oops! I just received an education of terms from reading about a Two-port network. What I should have asked for is a subsection on half-port networks of a single terminal. Sorry; my mistake. -- Vinyasi (talk) 05:02, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand what you are talking about.  As far as I know there is no such thing as a "half-port network".  A port is an indivisible elemental concept in network theory.  Can you point to a reliable source that uses this terminology? SpinningSpark 10:23, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Spinningspark Last time I did a visual check of antennas (aerials), they seemed to possess merely one terminal and, thus, would constitute a half-port network in and of themselves. As for a reliable source apart from a primary source of judgment, I don't know. I thought what is obvious would be sufficient. Maybe an antenna is not considered a network, but merely is attached to it? Yet, if this be the convention, then this attachment is a subnetwork worthy of its own descriptor. -- Vinyasi (talk) 11:23, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, antennas are one-ports.  A dipole antenna explicitly has two connections for instance.  A monopole antenna has a second connection to an actual ground plane or a virtual ground plane.  Any situation in which the current is not returned is not a port by definition.  Even for single-wire transmission lines there is still a return current in existence somewhere, it is just not being transmitted to the far end of the line.  The port concept can be extended to energy transfer that does not involve electrical conductors at all; see port (circuit theory), but the key thing is that energy is transferred through a defined space.  This cannot be the case when only a single conductor is known or defined.  Part of the energy is being transferred in another conductor (or conductors, it might not all be transferred to the same place).  The concept of port is thus meaningless in connection with a single conductor. SpinningSpark 11:59, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I did some searching and was not able to find reliable sources that give one specific country as an origin. In general they refer to it as Middle Eastern. The following links, while not reliable sources, tend to suggest that a specific country of origin is not definitively known: , .

Talk:Russian pyramid

message: "This makes the game's mechanics like an oversized version of snooker" 
This statement is inaccurate because the style of play of snooker is significantly different than pyramid. Impossible to compare snooker to russian pyramid.
Also the " requiring greater precision to pocket a ball than in pool" is a true statement but to a non-billiard fan can create confusion and make him think pyramid is harder globally than pocket billiards, which is absolutely false. Is true that in russian pyramid is significantly harder to make a ball but is much easier to play safeties, kicks and strategy of the game is much more simple... --89Slh (talk) 15:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing is "impossible to compare", but I agree that the comparison to snooker isn't apt, and there's no source for it. Feel free to delete it; I doubt anyone will object. Your assertions that the game is overall easier than pool would require a reliable source, and don't make much sense to me. There are many kinds of pool (pocket billiards) some of which also involve safeties, kicks and simple strategies. That is, variants of pool are often very, very different from one another, so no genralization can really be made about them and their comparison to pyramid. Snooker is much easier to compare to pyramid than pocket billiards is generally. — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib.  18:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Ninsun

message: I was reading the book, "The Epic of Gilgamesh" as rendered by Danny P. Jackson (Bolchazy-Carucci Publishers Inc.  ISBN: 0-86516-352-9) 
In Column 1, it says, speaking of Gilgamesh as the:
"Child of Lugalbanda's wife and some great force,
Gilgamesh is a fate alive, the
finest babe of Ninsun, she who never
let a man touch her, indeed
so pure and heavenly, so without fault."
The epic (or this interpretation of it) seems to say that although Lugalbanda was husband to Ninsun, their marriage was never consummated.  That Gilgamesh is born of a "force" and a Goddess.  (No wonder he is 2/3 God himself, and not merely half-God)
