Talk:Ozone–oxygen cycle

message: The previous version of this page incorrectly stated that the heat produced when O and O2 combine usually has the form of infrared radiation. This is actually extremely rare under atmospheric conditions, because IR transition probabilities are so very low. (It does happen in interstellar chemistry where gas densities are many orders of magnitude lower, so that the time between collisions is far, far longer.) The primary mechanism for producing heat is three body collisions with the third body carrying off the excess energy. (This was mentioned in the previous version, but I have given it priority.)  --Rparson 20:07, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  How UV light is converted into heat 

message: I have corrected a remark about halogens as ozone-depletion catalysts that was slightly misleading. First, as noted in Ozone Depletion the fact that halogens are heavier than air doesn't actually
matter. Second, when the catalysts return to the troposphere, they are generally converted to HCl which "rains out", rather than oxidizing other compounds. (The overall intention of the remark was ok, but the parenthetical details were not quite right.)--Rparson 21:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cl and Br catalysts 

message: From this it seems that UV creates O3 (step one) and also destroys it (step 2). So why is the depletion of the ozone layer a problem - surely the UV will just create more O3 if there isn't any? I'm sure there is a subtlety here, but it is not coming through (or not clearly) in the article - probably the relative rates of the two reactions? I would be good if the explanation could be clarified - probably in the bottom part of the article (also there seem to be paragraphs numbered incorrectly). Wayne (talk) 09:27, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I corrected this several years ago and see that it was changed.  Every sphereical rotameter I've ever purchased (many) is meant to be read at the center of the bead.

Talk:The Sixties

message: Who wrote, or aproved, the section about why the sixties happened?
I was just wondering since when is slavery, oppresion, ineqaulity, and intolerance part of what makes any Nation in anyway "great"?  Especially "The Land Of the Free"?  I'm refering here to the "traditional values" concerning women, black people, homosexuality, freedom of speech, knoldge and identity that which were very much a part of pre-sixties western culture, but somehow didnt get a mention.  Nor did the high percentage of non-students such as mothers at the Anti War protests.  Meanwhile the students get painted as ungrateful, errant whinging children with no goals, values or positive impact whatso ever.
Encyclopedias are normally about as close as you can get to an ideologically objective text, but this section is a little bit of an aberation.
Again, who wrote WHY DID THE SIXTIES HAPPEN?  Richard Nixon?
:Hi - your comments are clearly heartfelt and have, I think, some validity, but your questions betray a lack of understanding of what Wikipedia is and how it works.  I suggest you sign up for a Wikipedia username check out the Wikipedia:Community portal, putter around for a bit, and then return here.  Did you know that you can actually change the article to be something better and more objective?  In fact, it's encouraged!  The animals will love it if you do.  Jgm 12:26, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Fives

message: Could a general description of game play be added to this article?  I can't figure out what the actual game is.  It is a handball game played in a three?-sided court with one or two players?  Are there points?  How do you tell which team wins?  Is the point to bounce it off one of the walls or hit other players or what?
:The reference to Real Tennis should be linked.
: I was taught Rugby fives at Alleyn's in the late sixties by the Maths teacher, Eric Marsh, who held the world title for a considerable number of years - someone had better check my memory of 9 years. There are a set of rules here, which differ from those in use in the 1960s in the service - there was no preliminary throw, as that allows the server to impart a spin, but was served directly to the side wall in the direction of the wall in front. Bounces off walls don't count as bounces in these rules, in passing - I even knew players who would send the ball off both walls on the way back.
: The skill of the game is to some extent in determining whether to volley, receive on the first bounce, or take it off the back wall - dropping it dead off the back wall is nigh on unplayable.
: Coincidentally while I was writing the above, a history of fives at alleyns was waiting unread in my in-box, the link hasd been posted as it includes a number of photographs and a disproportionate amount of detail, but it at least provides a mass of extra detail whioch may be useful here in the future. Other schools are of course welcome to add their own links!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.73.25 (talk) 09:32, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
