The term "Jewish Russian physicists" generally refers to physicists of Jewish descent or heritage who have played significant roles in the field of physics, particularly within the context of Russia or the former Soviet Union. Throughout history, many Jewish individuals have made substantial contributions to various scientific disciplines, including physics, despite facing significant social and political challenges, such as persecution and discrimination.
An Euler diagram is a graphical representation used to show the relationships between different sets or groups. It uses circles to illustrate how the sets overlap or are contained within one another. Unlike Venn diagrams, which display all possible logical relations among a set of categories regardless of whether certain intersections are empty, Euler diagrams focus on the actual relationships present in the specific data being represented. In an Euler diagram: - Circles represent sets. - The areas where circles overlap indicate the relationships and intersections among the sets.
"Lists of moons" typically refer to compilations or tables that catalog the natural satellites (moons) orbiting planets and other celestial bodies in the solar system and beyond. These lists can be organized in various ways, such as by the planet they orbit, size, discovery date, or other characteristics. Here are some common points of interest related to lists of moons: 1. **By Planet**: Moons are often grouped by the planets they orbit.
Back pressure is a term used in various fields, notably in engineering and fluid dynamics, to describe a situation where resistance or pressure within a system prevents or slows down the movement of fluids or gases. It can occur in different contexts, such as: 1. **Fluid Systems**: In pipelines or hydraulic systems, back pressure is the pressure exerted in the opposite direction of the flow. It can be caused by factors such as narrowing of pipes, obstructions, or changes in elevation.
Probability Bounds Analysis (PBA) is a quantitative method used in decision-making and risk analysis that helps assess uncertainty in probabilistic models. It is particularly beneficial when precise probability distributions are difficult to obtain, and instead, one may only have limited information about the underlying uncertainties. PBA uses interval probability distributions to represent the uncertainties and derive bounds on the probabilities of various outcomes.
Fritz Strassmann was a German physicist who is best known for his work in nuclear chemistry and for his role in the discovery of nuclear fission. He was born on February 22, 1902, and passed away on April 22, 1980.
John N. Bahcall (1934–2005) was a prominent American astrophysicist known for his significant contributions to the fields of solar and particle astrophysics. He was particularly recognized for his influential work on the solar neutrino problem, which involved studying the neutrinos produced by nuclear reactions in the Sun's core and their detection on Earth. Bahcall's theoretical predictions about the number of neutrinos expected to be detected were crucial for understanding the processes occurring in the Sun.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
