I can give a real example. At work we were testing pulse shaping amplifiers for Geiger Muller tubes. They take a pulse in, shape it to get a pulse with a height proportional to the charge collected, and output a histogram of the frequency o

A couple people had some great comments that should get you started; I'd just like to add that you don't need to do everything at once either and your workflow can be flexible. When I'm making a board with weird parts, I like

There's a push these days to move towards HALEU fuel in the US; it's basically downblended submarine fuel stock [0]. It'll take about a decade to really start the downblending and distribution process at commercial scale in e

Probably, but I would think you'd need to use a paste stencil to raise the PCB contacts evenly above the solder mask layer since it's not quite flush, or just get the board pre-tinned.

The windings in isolation transformers are inductively coupled through the magnetic field in the core. There's often a shield between the two windings to reduce any capacitive coupling.

Krane's Introductory Nuclear Physics is often considered a standard text, and includes a crash course in quantum that might be enough for someone comfortable with linear PDE's. You may also like Knoll's Radiation Detection

Have you tried panel mounting the antenna on a big (at least 4 sq ft) ground plane? We use these at work and had a very hard time until we started building nice big ground planes into all mechanical designs (that and reading the design advi

You can sketch out your board in KiCad [0] and export it as a gerber that you can send to a printing service. CERN uses it now, so it's worth learning, as it'll only improve over time. As for PCB shops, I'd start with compari

> David Friedberg argued on the all in podcast that a 25 square-mile areal of these would be enough to capture all CO2 currently in the atmosphere. I felt like napkin mathing it, and even a cursory check completely obliterates that claim

I believe you would be correct on the first point, but have the second backwards. If V' was instead a chunk without the player, then res^V_V' Γ(V,F) = ∅, and the sections of sheaves are supported on {p} (as well as on any other

What a fantastic choice of analogy to convey how sheaves attach data to a base space. With so many "Category Theory for Programmers" tutorials floating around, it's refreshing to see such a precise and easily comprehensible e

On a technical note, the first point is not really true. Using atmospheric models like WRF get you pretty good irradiance forecasts that are roughly proportional to PV output. I (very briefly) worked with a group doing just that for power c

I would strongly second the GP's recommendation. The book mentioned is aimed at math teachers up to an undergraduate level, but generalizes quite naturally. The idea is that one may induce a path to solution in a student by stripping a

I'm also not sure where the GP is going with this first point. I myself have cloned potatoes with nothing but old Russets and a shovel, and do not consider it nefarious.

He was talking about some of the limits of just inferring that repeated behavior is induced ad infinitum. He talks about it more. [0] [0] www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Philosophy/RBwritings/ProbPhiloBook/chap-VI.h
