Name one. If I name one, you will say, that you never heard about company.. How about two: Gdansk Shipyard, Gdynia Shipyard.. What on Earth are you talking about? I am talking about companies in bad economic situation, which need restructurization (which often means firing people from parts of company that are not absolutely necessary, or selling them. Long before final bankruptcy!), and unions obviously refuse to do such restructurization, which ends up in bankruptcy of the whole company years later. Unions here even make strikes just because they don't want government to sell company to private investor! Drop of mined coal in UK is result of shutting down, bankruptcy, of coal mines. Management, owners, could not freely do restructurization. Which resulted in total collapse. Want more examples of companies which were destroyed by unions? Search google for companies that had unions and bankrupted (then search about strikes in these companies prior bankruptcy).. You will have your own country companies examples. Employment should be accordingly to production. If employed is more people than needed, money are wasted on salary for them, and it's straight route to economic problems in the future years.

Not necessarily mechanical. On the list of transducers there is also f.e. antenna, photodiode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transducer

You're describing things good to employees, while you "forget" the all bad things, and how many companies unions destroyed? When there is high demand/price for product company is producing management is increasing employment, to be able fulfill demand, but when worldwide market price is going down, it can easily bring company to bankruptcy when management cannot either decrease salary and dismiss employees, accordingly to drop of price/demand for whatever they sell. That's the typical way coal mines are ending. UK coal mines decline graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_mining_in_the_United_Kingdom Jobs cannot be sustained when there is no coal underground also and people don't want to relocate to new place (even if price for coal is periodically high). Currently people are slightly more aware, slightly better educated. But in the past union members were simple workers, after primary school or less, and completely didn't understand what management want from them, and why to dismiss people.. and refusement to do restructurization resulted in complete collapse of not one company, which would be able to survive without unions otherwise with proper restructurization procedure. Some early capitalistic business owners were greedy idiots. They should have natural understanding that happy and rested employee is more productive. And without unions implement mechanisms to increase productivity.

Not really. It's called nationalization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization Business owners in such case, have no choice. Other word for it is stealing. Bankruptcy is later, after people (usually incompetent) who are becoming new managers of nationalized company have no idea about business..

No. If somebody has no job, will ask government "what job you can offer me?". You are starting analyzing game in the middle of play. Imagine monopoly: everybody starts with the same amount of money. Some will invest in hotel one star, then two starts, then further, and suddenly new money will come to them from other players. others will spend on nothing (overeat) and finally bankrupt. Amount of money in the game is always constant. Head tax could be implemented when everybody starts game, with the same amount of cash. Your example is in many ways flawed. The first thing, is that income of somebody is expenditure of somebody else. Money must match on both sides of equation. Baker pays for flour miller, and miller pays for grain farmer. Farmer and miller buy bread from baker. There is flow of money, were money=constant (or ultimately 0, if they would agree to do what is their responsibility, and what is good for their community) In your example these 10 millions dollars for the richest appeared from literally nowhere. While they should be from 10 millions people $1 each, or 1 million people $10 each, or 100k people $100 each, etc, per month. I was telling "what is fair", not "what is good to town administration". What is good to town administration (or country government) is endless flow of money And you are analyzing it from point of view of administration/government. Head tax is not fair in my opinion. Money does not exist. It's illusion to keep people busy working doing their responsibility. To force get out of home every day, and do what they often even don't like to do, to be able to survive a week, or month more. If they would be smart, they would get rid of money, and agree to do their responsibility everybody without getting paid, and not having to pay for anything also. But at the beginning there would be issues with people from other regions where money still exist. See what result it has to human kind: do NASA engineers "forgot" suddenly how to build rocket after trip to the Moon? Government cut NASA money, money which would be in large percentage spend on engineers wage. They didn't lost knowledge. They didn't want to work for free, even if that work could be great for human kind.. I am wondering whether these engineers would also refuse to work for free (not to mention the all other people around the world), if there would be flying comet to hit Earth, and there would be needed rockets to get out of planet.. Actually this whole thread is about "let's give people house for free and see what they will do"..

Here the most of income government has from VAT (>40%) (the more people consume, the more government has money from taxes), then is oil & alcohol, cigarettes etc excise duty (~22%), (the more people drink and smoke and drive, the more government has money from taxes), PIT, private income tax (~15%), CIT, corporate income tax (~8%). Various other sources ~15% (f.e. dividend) Data from graph from 2013. The largest VAT is for the luxury items, which obviously is paid naturally by the richest people. VAT for food is 3%,5%,8%, rarely more. (I paid maybe $5-$6 in VAT in the last month, spent $100-130 on food etc stuff) It's smarter way to collect taxes from the richest people, than progressive tax PIT. Let them pay it in VAT for luxury items.. If government would tax say 50% or more the richest people income, nobody would notice it in GDP! It would be purely demagogic change. Less than 1% increase.

"Fair share" is linear tax for everybody. Say 10% regardless of income. No deduction. For some "fair share" means "progressive tax", but it's crap. Linear tax could be collected extremely easily also, without the whole expensive machinery: bank account mentioned on employment contract, and whatever is send to that account, by employer, 10% of it goes to government account immediately. With progressive tax it's impossible to do so, as employee does not know how long he/she will be working in the same company and getting income for the all year's months or not. Without job, he/she can be in different "tax brackets", with different rates. So if automat would take progressive tax at January, then somebody is fired, government would have to return him/her money later, complicating the whole system a lot (which is opposite to my idea of simplification of taxing system). Progressive tax is also promoting all kinds of mitigation by showing true or false expenditures and investments, just to be in lower "tax brackets" with lower rate. While linear tax, promote reverse, working for as much as possible.

Blood is not fuel. It's a way to transport microelement, compounds from stomach, and Oxygen gas, to the all parts of living organism. It could be compared to pipes in machinery. Machines can far more efficiently distribute Oxygen than blood. See for example jet engines sucking liters and tones of air per second while airplane flies.. Nanobots, injected to human, could use microelement, or other compounds found in blood to sustain their functionality.

Typical speaker is stationary magnet with moving electromagnet attached to membrane (or reverse set up with stationary electromagnet and moving magnet), when current is flowing in one direction, electromagnet creates magnetic field, and membrane attracts to magnet, when current is flowing in opposite direction, electromagnet creates opposite magnetic field, and membrane repels from magnet. The larger current is flowing through wire, the more powerful electromagnet's magnetic field, attracting and repelling it more powerfully. This pushes air around membrane thousands times per second. You can very easily verify it by taking speaker and connecting it to battery, without resistor, then with resistor, or variable resistor. Change polarization +- of battery and you will see it's moving in opposite direction.

I have seen such experiment with little children 3-5 years old or so. With similar results like you described.

From more realistic things, I would build the bigger the more powerful CERN-like particle accelerator near my apartment.. To play with my beloved particles.. From even more realistic things, I would build giant factory of solar panels, and give them away for free for everybody to put on their roofs. So they would not need anymore to buy electricity in their life. Carbon-based power-plants would bankrupt, the rest more ecologic power plants would produce electricity for business clients. At least until they wouldn't get my solar panels also.

Vector (Euclidean at least) that has not been normalized has magnitude. Length of vector =sqrt(x^2+y^2) for 2D, =sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2) for 3D, and so on with more dimensions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics) Go to Vector section. Normalized vector has length=magnitude=1.

Which physical experiment is presenting your observations.. ? If there is no experiment, then it's speculation, I think.

"Medicine Hat becomes the first city in Canada to eliminate homelessness" http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-thursday-edition-1.3074402/medicine-hat-becomes-the-first-city-in-canada-to-eliminate-homelessness-1.3074742 http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/05/14/medicine-hat-homelessness-end-2015_n_7280232.html They did exactly what I said numerous times f.e. here: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/87282-how-to-reduce-wealth-inequality/?p=846769 "And now f.e. half of Detroit is dead city without population, with quarters of houses owned by banks, ruined, and waiting to be demolished. They could/should be resident by all these NY homeless people.." ps. The number huffingtonpost wrote was astonishing: 1.5% (1 per 69) of population of city were homeless?! Here, 1 person per 1200 is homeless (0.084%).

If I understood question correctly, you have table (how many rows?): so made up couple [latex] \theta_{i}[/latex] (in the right range), and calculate what will be [latex]\theta_{r}[/latex] corresponding to it, and fill table with couple such pairs.

"which can be understood as simultaneous finite rotations which commute in much the same manner as infinitesimal rotations commute in conventional plane geometry." "This differs (mathematically and conceptually) from the usual (two dimensional) discrete finite rotations or infinitesimal rotations which are used to manipulate objects in Euclidean three space." If object can rotate only in discrete finite amounts, not absolutely smoothly, it's example of quantization.

He asked about quantization (rather than quantification) of velocity (space and time), and quantization of energy.. Quantization of space and time can be smaller than Planck length and Planck time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_length https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_time Planck length and Planck time are so ultimately small ("The Planck length is about 10−20 times the diameter of a proton.") that nobody reached this level of precision of measurement.

I cannot support cheaters. I can send you screen-shot of working app. You have to use PDFRenderer, http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/pdf/PdfRenderer.html and draw specified page to Bitmap. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html Bitmap copy to ImageView. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageView.html

I managed to make basic PDF viewer, with PDFRenderer class. But it requires Android v5.0 (SDK API 21). Also to make it the real tool, there would be needed complete directory listing/searching. Making PDF with what fiveworlds showed, require Android v4.4 (SDK API 19) KitKat.

ajb, how did you make these images? You wrote some code to generate them? In which language? ps. Maybe make contest "who will make nicer fractal".. ? One general C/C++ project with code generating black image. And then everybody download it, and replace internal function, responsible for setting pixel at x,y with color RGB.

Objects that are hot are emitting photons, Photon has energy [math]E=h*f[/math] h - Planck constant = 6.62607004*10^-34 J*s f - frequency in Hz=1/s [math]f=\frac{c}{\lambda}[/math] so [math]E=\frac{h*c}{\lambda}[/math] The hotter object (the larger temperature), the more energetic photons are emitted by object. The more energy they have, the larger frequency f, and shorter wavelength. Black body radiation is summing the all photons energies emitted per second together (Joules/second=Watt), and assigns to it appropriate temperature in Kelvins. Ultraviolet photons (the one with wavelength smaller than 400 nm) have enough energy to ionize matter, and make plasma. Therefore they are rarely encountered by now, otherwise everything would be in plasma state (like in star).

While calculations of relativistic collisions there is often used center-of-mass/energy. Instead of lab frame. Like they did it for example here: http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/252/particle_creation.html Try it whether it helps to solve your case.

Experimental? Water stream/waterfall close to static electric charged object. Water bends its path, because Oxygen has -2e charge, while Hydrogen has +1e charge. They're not uniformly distributed on molecule to cancel each other influence. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/diph2o.html

I tried it in fresh new project, and what you linked here, is for generating PDF document by drawing new graphics to it, then it's written to file.

Do you know a bit of chemistry? You measure mass of one substance, measure mass of other substance (reactant), mix them together, and getting some final product, or couple products (and then have to separate them by f.e. distillation), and also measure their masses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_%28chemistry%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagent Say you have compound which is releasing Hydrogen gas. You will see decrease of mass by some amount between reactant(s), and product. And it's 1.008 g/mol for every Hydrogen atom. Or 2.016 g/mol for H2. Not without a reason H2O has molar mass 18.016 g/mol. It's 1.008 + 1.008 + 16 = 18.016. If Hydrogen would be 0.82% more massive, it would be 1.01627 g/mol instead of 1.008 g/mol. If Hydrogen would be 0.82% less massive, it would be 0.9998 g/mol. Read also about Avogadro constant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant
