Talk:Amatol

message: I feel this article needs to more clearly define what it means by the ratios here :
Typical ratios of TNT to ammonium nitrate...
so I assume 20/80 mean 20% TNT and 80 % Amatol ? This appears to be the intention as preceding this TNT is mentioned before Amatol. It could be idiot-proofed by "(e.g. 20% TNT and 80% Amatol)" to remove the possibility of ambiguity in interpretation.  
But - further down there follows : "However, the lowest grades of amatol (eg 20/80) could not..."
What does "lowest grades" mean ? If we assume 20/80 means 80% Amatol as per above, 80% would seem to be a high grade...
Typical British ammunition described as 60/40 Amatol meant 60% Amatol, 40% TNT and was effective. So I dont understand the statement here "Amatol allowed existing supplies of TNT to be "padded out considerably, with little reduction in the destructive power of the final product -so long as the amount of TNT in the mixture did not fall below 60%". ??

replies: text: Amatol is the mixture.  20/80 means 20% TNT and 80% ammonium nitrate (not 80% Amatol).  Low grade means less explosive power per kg.  "so long as the amount of TNT did not fall below 60%" seems to mean that 20 kg of 60/40 Amatol has almost the same explosive power as 20kg of TNT. --Rumping (talk) 18:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: the article states from white to gray but a account from the time when which this was often used states it as yellow brown.  http://www.greatwardifferent.com/Great_War/Balloon/Balloon.htm
I do not know the accuracy of either this page nor the person that stated white to grey;  I assume this is because modern amatol has this colour.  Anyway, i've added this to the talk page in case someone wants to make sense of that particular detail. 75.156.147.1 (talk) 19:30, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The 'Amatol' name comes from Ammonium toluene  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.251.94 (talk) 14:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The phrase Ammonium toluene doesn't seem to be used in other web reference docs, but the Wiki article on toluene states that toluene is a raw material of trinitrotoluene (TNT). So I've added the contributor's point, namely that amatol originates from the words ammonium and toluene - while also amending u/l-case mix of grammar to lowercase amatol wherever mid sentence. Also I've split the intro into 'short Intro' plus 'Manufacture and uses' as the start was too top heavy. Pete Hobbs (talk) 13:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: According to various sources, there seems to be some differences between Amatol and Schneiderite : Amatol is TNT + ammonium nitrate ; schneiderite is dinitronaphtalene + ammonium nitrate.

I also discovered that the only way to find the list of inductees was an Internet Archive Wayback Machine link that was in the article. Everything in the archive link I was able to replace with live links. Most important was an updated list of inductees on the live web site, which I used to update the inductees list to 2018 (it stopped at 2016 before that). I do have a couple more sources to add to the site, but the issues can be considered closed now. Take a look, and let me know if you see anything else.

Talk:Head-related transfer function

message: "Humans are less sensitive to changes in the azimuth, φ"
We are MORE sensitive to changes in azimuth than changes in elevation, aren't we ? --Adoudoux (talk) 13:11, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: In response to the request for a more understandable introduction to the subject I suggest the followig:
start intro
A head-related transfer function (HRTF) defines the response that an ear receives from a sound from a particular point in a three dimensional space. When sound from an external source meets a head, it "flows" around the shape of the head and reflects off various features like the external ears (pinnae). The ear canal receives two versions of this sound, modified by the shape of the head and the spacing of the ears, and the inner ear sends responses to the auditory cortex of the brain.
The shape of the head and pinnae form a complex diffraction pattern according to the direction of the sound source. By a heuristic process, the brain has learnt to recognise the direction of the sound source, and also to discriminate one source out of many in a complex noise field. The responses from two ears, each with their respective HRTF, are interpreted by the auditory cortex to give directional information from each distinct sound source and from general less defined sound sources. This is the mechanism behind the cocktail party effect.

message: I just finished  assessing the backlog of articles on this project and I have  newly added a couple hundred more articles (tagged and assessed).  Most of it was no brainer calls, but on a few I wasn't sure about the scope of the project (I went ahead and tagged/assessed, figuring the hinges wouldn't come off if labeled them "food and drink").  What exactly is the scope?  How liberal is the coverage?  Would, for instance, cooking utensils/appliances be covered?  Cookbooks? Food themed movies or Tv shows (not cooking shows, but along the lines of Babette's Feast)? Cocktails and bars? I mention the latter since cocktails has its on Project, along with wine, cheese, ice cream, herbs (is it ok to tag and assess articles closer to those mentioned now that they have their own projects?).  I am looking for some boundaries for the Food and Drink project so that I don't load the project down with articles outside the scope.  I'd appreciate any feed back on this.  Jacksinterweb (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, anything that has to do remotely with food and drink should be associated, including film, radio shows, cookbooks, utensils, foods, dishes, restaurants, culinary schools and any other references.  However, as you mentioned, we do have sister projects like cheese, wine, cocktails, beer, etc. that have rating capabilities.  I think if another project that falls under our umbrella has rating capabilities, there is no reason to double tag and rate the article and as such they should be tagged with the sister projects ratings tag.  However, projects that do not have rating capabilities like ice cream I would think should have our banner with rating criteria along with their banner as they do not rate articles.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Occasionally, late reports do come in, and those get added as well. Unconfirmed reports are maintained only in situations where surveys have to be done super-late due to access issues or overlaps and cannot be published until the final reports come in (I would guess late summer or fall).

it is mentioned as a herbicide at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPTP (by the name: cyperquat, which redirects here), but its described toxicity would suggest that it is either out of use or under strict regulation. all that, however is just my speculation.
now i see that "it is structurally similar to paraquat" and probably what i was asking is covered there. still, does structural similarity mean something like left/right rotating molecule, or maybe i am missing the point? and perhaps paraquat and cyperquat have different uses/regulations/or toxicity, so maybe theres still room to expand and improve this article.
