Airbus says has fixed A380 cable problem

PARIS (Reuters) - European planemaker Airbus, which has been hit by major project delays, said on Saturday it had fixed problems surrounding the cables of its A380 superjumbo.

"We have finished the electrical installation," said Airbus spokesman Tore Prang, confirming an earlier report in German magazine Focus.

"We have handed the aircraft to the cabin equipment team to install the first A380," he added.

Production problems at Airbus have caused a slump in the financial fortunes of its parent company EADS, which this week issued its third profit warning in less than a year.

Prang said resolving the issue of incorrectly installed cables meant Airbus was on track to deliver the plane to Singapore Airlines.

"This means we have passed a major milestone for the A380 recovery programme," he said.

Aerodrome: Finally, this aircraft is nearing completion. 2 years and Billions overdue.

BK-117B2 for The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.

$3.3 million chopper is the most advanced and well-equipped of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

The campaign, backed by Aucklanders such as broadcaster Paul Holmes and businesswoman Michelle Boag, covered half the $3.3 million for the new helicopter. The other half was financed by the trust.

The chopper has night-vision equipment, at a cost of $15,000 per pilot, to provide safer flying after dark. Mr Wikaira said 50 per cent of missions were carried out at night.

Emirates Team New Zealand and Oracle

Team New Zealand is back in Auckland training with fellow challengers Oracle who have just launched their second new boat. According to Chris Dickson, team skipper and CEO, USA 98 "feels pretty special,”.

It had better. Teams are only allowed to build two new Americas Cup boats per regatta, a move designed to try and keeps costs down. An 'arms war' of sorts began in 1992 when Italian Il Moro di Venezia built five boats to stymie the New Zealand Challenge in the Louis Vuitton Cup final. They were beaten in the cup final by America3 who had four built.

Oracle is trailing third behind Alinghi and Emirates Team New Zealand. Team New Zealand launched their second new boat, NZL 98 in mid October 2006 to compliment the 2006 ACC Season Champion title and Americas Cup table-topping NZL 84. good times eh? cheers.

Alinghi

Alinghi have chosen an unusual path for crew selection and training this year.

Dubai Defender Trials

- Pre-trials: This warm-up event for the "UBS Dubai Defender Trials" will take place from the 12-15 December when helmsmen Ed Baird and Peter Holmberg and their respective crews will go head to head over a four day event. There will be two races per day on an America's Cup style course.

- Round 1: Kicks off the first of two "UBS Dubai Defender Trials" from the 31st January to 3rd February, with two races a day and a prize-giving at the end.

- Round 2: The second of the "UBS Dubai Defender Trials" will be from the 16th to 19th of February and will define the helmsman and afterguard for Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 on April 3rd.

Valencia Defender Trials

Further rounds to be held after the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 in Valencia will be announced.

background

The aim of the New Zealand Written Examinations Manuals section is to build up a manual that eventually can be used as a sole means of study by people who are sitting the various New Zealand exams.

This is going to be done in two steps. The first step is to set up the subjects with their syllabus items and knowledge requirements. The second step is to replace the knowledge requirements with actual content. This is to provide a level of quality control and to ensure all syllabus items are firmly covered in respect to the requirements.

Welcome to the New Zealand Written Examinations Manuals section.

The aim of this section is to build up a manual that eventually can be used as a sole means of study by people who are sitting the various New Zealand exams.

This is going to be done in two steps.

 Stage 1

The first step is to set up the subjects with their syllabus items and knowledge requirements. These are found at http://www.caa.govt.nz/Advisory_Circulars/ac61-1_3.pdf

 Stage 2

The second step is to replace the knowledge requirements with actual content.

I believe this system will provide a level of quality control. If there are deficiancies in the text, the syllabus item is there to indicate what is required.

Invitation
Dear user of Wikiversity,

Do you like to join a reading club, where you can read and discuss literature? Reading clubs could have active and inactive participants. Active participants could be required to edit on a regularly basis untill a deadline is reached and another topic can be chosen for reading and discussing. Hopefully, reading clubs can ensure a social network on Wikiversity of people cooperating with eachother and becoming friends while discussing knowledge.--Daanschr 09:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aerodrome. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aerodrome~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

United States Government

The government of the United States of America is federal in structure. In addition to a national government, there are fifty state governments. Federalism refers to the system of relations between these levels of government. The state governments are not mere administrative units of the national government; they each have well-defined governmental structures of their own: constitutions, legislatures, supreme courts, etc. Many of the major events in American History have involved questions about the proper relation between the national government and the states.

In terms of governments around the world, the federal bicameral republic is a fairly rare form of governance. The majority of democracies around the world tend toward parliamentary systems, so what is it about this particular system that makes it stand so well yet rarely attempted? This particular topic will engage students into several aspects of American Government in order to bring about some understanding of the process. Emphasis is placed upon historical events leading up to the foundation of the republic and the drafting of the constitution. Later on, a study of several key cases about federal powers (typically through court cases) will tie the experience to a close.

Key Roles of Government
Historically, the key power of any government has been the ability to collect taxes from the people (in form of money, goods, and/or labor) and redistribute those resources in such a way as to benefit the community as a whole. Government can exist in a variety of styles, from dictatorships to monarchies to different forms of democracy. Being that this topic is based on the American form of democratic republic we are going to look at what key roles are defined as per the Constitution:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. - Preamble, US Constitution

This paragraph is the opening statement of the Constitution, also known as the Preamble. Looking into this statement it can be seen that the framers had a few particular goals in mind:

 * "form a more perfect union" - obviously stemming from the fact that the Articles of Confederation were not working out as planned, something new needed to be enacted.
 * "establish justice" - to create fair and equitable courts, fairly self-explanatory.
 * "insure domestic tranquility" - the creation of laws to ensure an orderly society.
 * "provide for the common defense" - self-explanatory.
 * "promote the general welfare" - to do what is best for America and Americans.
 * "secure the blessing of liberty" - as a country we value the rights of the individual over monarchial/dictatorial rule.

Branches of Government
At the federal level, there is a tripartite structure, or what is usually referred to as the three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. In theory, the legislature makes the law, the executive enforces or executes the law, and the judiciary interprets the law.

Legislative Branch
Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. -Article 1, US Constitution

The Legislative Branch of the United States government is divided in the House of Representatives and the Senate. This bicameral legislature was designed as a compromise between the constitutional delegates of the state of New Jersey (who preferred equal representation for all states) and Virginia (who preferred representation based on population). All bills concerning taxes must begin in the House of Representatives while the Senate alone approves treaties and confirms presidential appointments. Ultimately all bills passed in either the House or the Senate must be sent to the other legislative house and pass before the bill is sent to the President to sign.

The House of Representatives
The current number of representatives is fixed at 435.
 * The number of representatives for each state is based on population. Today, all citizens of a state are counted.
 * All delegates to the House of Representatives are elected every two years. There is no term limit.
 * To be eligible, delegates must be citizens of the state in which they are running, must have been a citizen for at least seven years, and must be at least 25 years old.

The Senate

 * Each state is entitled to two senators, each with a six year term. There is no term limit.
 * Senators used to be appointed from the state legislatures, however an amendment changed senator appointment to general election by the people.
 * To be eligible, canidates must be citizens of the state in which they are running, must have been a citizen for nine years, and be at least 30 years old.

Executive Branch
Section 1 - The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:[…] -Article 2, US Constitution

The Executive Branch consists of a hierarchal organization starting with the President and branching down to every federal government employee (excepting those working for Congress or the Courts). Historically, the powers of the presidency have shifted over time; typically on the personal power each executive brings to the office. For more information, please refer to the actual Constitution for details; the important thing to mention is that this branch 'carries out' the laws and decisions made by the other two branches (Legislative and Judicial). The military, intelligence, police, and public services all fall under administration from this branch of the government. Under the President are 15 'department heads', also known as Secretaries (except for the Attorney General). These are the leading officers of each major department that the administration has control of. Also in the cabinet are six other members who only attend meetings (VP, Chief of Staff, EPA, OMB, National Drug Control, and Trade Representative but it's not important to understand in this discussion).

Together with the President, the cabinet carries out all the tasks required of them and forwards the policies of the President in determining future actions.

Judicial Branch
Section 1 - The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. -Article 3, US Constitution

It's surprising to most people today, but in fact the Supreme Court is the only judicial entity that is specifically mentioned in the Constitution. All the other courts have been sprung from acts of Congress. The main role of the judicial branch is to evaluate the legal standing of constitutional issues (ie: does this law go against the Constitution?) Some have argued that because of this charge, the Supreme Court is the most powerful branch in government (in terms of Constitutional authority). However, others have pointed out that the judicial branch is tied to the laws that Congress passes and is dependent upon the President enforcing the decisions handed out. Without those two branches working in sync with the judicial branch, it's debatable on how useful the court would be at all.

Notable Supreme Court Cases Involving the Constitution
Marbury v. Madison (1803) was the earliest landmark decision of the Supreme Court. It established the doctrine of judical review, meaning that the Supreme Court had the authority to declare an act of Congress or the executive branch unconstitutional.

Modern alchemy The goals of alchemy were transmutation of any metal into either gold, to prolong life indefinitely and to create human life. It can be argued that all of the key elements of traditional alchemy have become incorporated into conventional sciences. Transmutation of elements has been accomplished by physicists. Modern medical science is devoted to the treatment of disease and the prolongation of life. Biological techniques provide a significant level of control over the creation of new life from non-living chemical precursors.

All of these alchemy-inspired activities within modern science continue to force us up against the boundaries of conventional science. Transmutation is difficult and expensive. Immortality is a dream of many transhumanists. Only the most primitive forms of life can be constructed from scratch. Artificial life is still in its infancy. Creation of a robotic artificial life form with human qualities might be viewed as one way of satisfying the dream of creating life. Genetic engineering has begun to provide tools for the creation of new forms of biological organisms.

Did you know?
Aristotle (384-322 BC) is said to have studied marine organisms at the island of Lesbos. Aristotle identified observed crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, and fish. He knew that cetaceans are mammals, and that some marine vertebrates release eggs that hatch outside the body while others have eggs that hatch within the body. Aristotle is often referred to as the father of marine biology.

Electric VLSI Design System

The Electric VLSI Design System is software released under the LGPL, currently at version 8.04.

VLSI is stands for "Very Large Scale Integration", and it relates to the IC fabrication, with a number of transistors greater than 100,000 per chip

VLSI also related to VHDL "Very high speed IC Hardware Description Language", and Verilog, which are a Hardware description languages, but they are related to the Digital design part of VLSI

Mainly VLSI technology can be divided to a three branches,

Analog VLSI: this branch dedicated to the transistor level and to the fabrication, also dedicated to the analog circuit analysis to fabricate the IC with the highest Technology (you can find terms like: transistor, CMOS, Gate, Capacitance, modulation effect, parasitic capacitance, channel length, clean room, lithography .... etc) in this branch

Digital VLSI: is the branch which is dedicated to deal with VLSI in digital design, a part from its lower level in Analog and transistor level(you can find terms like: FPGA, VHDL, Verilog, Adder, Digital design, Multiplexers, Processors design,.....etc)

Mixed Signal VLSI: is the branch the communicate the first branch with the second, which is responsiable to convert the analog signals to digital and digital to analog.

String theory for undergraduates

Refer to the external website http://www.superstringtheory.com/index.html for more information.

String theory is a mathematical model in physics. It is still under heavy construction. It is an extension of quantum field theory, which is also in many senses incomplete.

The basic theme in the work of a string theorist is:
 * pick a classical space (manifold, to be specific)
 * define an action for a classical string to move in the space
 * quantize your system
 * From here you may
 * study the phenomena in it and compare what you get to the real world
 * compare your system to other mathematical structures known or unknown

However, all these are often much easier said than done. Quantization is often a difficult problem. Another fundamental problem is that, if string theory is to be a fundamental physical theory, we would really want to start from a quantum definition and derive the classical analogue, which is opposite to what can be done at the moment. So we still don't know what string theory is (but see M-theory). Another problem is to construct a 4-dimensional model with all the particles and interactions we can observe in our accelerators. The candidate models are so numerous (the so-called "landscape") that it is almost impossible to pick out "the one" without additional insights.

However, since the standard model predicts the Higgs bosons and string theory requires supersymmetric particles on top of that, experiments may provide new clues to another breakthrough - or resignation.

A math problem
The avg price of 1 gal of gas in sacramento is $3. Suppose Costco is celebrating opening of new store by selling gas @ $2 a gal for one Monday from 8AM to 5PM..... further supposed:
 * 1)each Costco member would buy max allowed limit of 20 gallons
 * 2)it would take 55 minutes for a member to wait for an open pump
 * 3)it would take 5 minutes to pump the allowed limit.

Which is true? The true cost of ONE gallon of gas for
 * a)member A, who has a job that pays $50 an hour, would be $5
 * b)member B, who has a job that pays $30 an hour, would be $4
 * c)member C, who has a job that pays $10 an hour, would be $2.50
 * d)member D, who is currently unemployed, would be $1.50

Please explain how to solve it? the first step maybe?

User talk:JWSchmidt/Blog/15 January 2007

I like the concept of (some think learning is boaring, and thus don't want to participate vs. other like learning and want to do it effectively and don't want to participate. Thus we should either focus on effectiveness of the learning in wikiversity or increase the fun in wikiversity. Trying to do both might alienate both groups.--Rayc 21:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that I am willing to accept that it has to be either fun or effective. There are many "learning styles" and it would be futile to try to force Wikiversity towards content that serves only a few particular styles. Given the nature of wikis, there will be natural biases towards certain types of content development. If we keep looking for ways to make learning resources both fun and effective there will be a natural selection of what works. If we pay attention to all of the small experiments that are going on here we will probably be able to notice what tends to work and adapt our efforts accordingly. --JWSchmidt 23:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Least squares - para Cristina

Foundations of Calculus

Me
A great way to make me contribute is to ask me about a topic (of CS or Physics). The more concrete the question, the more interesting it will be, but feel impelled to ask just about anything. For example, I wrote the Least squares article solely because a friend of mine asked me what was that method about (she was requested to use it), and it's the biggest one-shot contribution I've made so far in any wiki.

"reflections on relativity", "physics"

I love from mathematicians that they must be the most creative they can. All the day imagining colors into structures... From the physicists I love their infinite curiosity (which I share), which impulses us to devour the harder of books if we believe we will find in them the least fact we don't know about Reality.

Astrophysics

 * How can we see the microwave background radiation? If it comes from the early universe, then in order to see it we should have traveled faster than light and then stopped, and we would see it coming from one direction, not from everywhere, ain't it? Or are we (well, the whole universe) in some kind of thermal equilibrium with that temperature? Additionally, why should it have the black-body spectrum?

 * I already know it :) If someone has questions related to this, tell me and I could start the Cosmology section of Wikiversity :) (or is there something already? It's been time since I don't browse the site)

Quantum Mechanics

 * Why is the expected value of J^2 j(j+1) and not j^2?? (for an eigenvector |j> of J, of course)

 * Measurement and collapse of the wave function in Quantum mechanics. Concretely what has been developed about the effect of the interaction of the measure apparatus with the wave function. I believe there's nothing magical in it: it doesn't collapse instantly for God's sake, but that instead it's something related to ressonances inside the aparatus, maybe. I read something about "decoherence" and understood it's about trying to explain it with stadistic irreversibility. Could it have something to do with sudden break of simmetry?

 * "The algebraic structure of the Lorentz group is SL(2, C) or O(3,1)." - What are these SL and O? I think I've seen them in advanced quantum physics articles in wikipedia, am I right? Well, what is "algebraic structure" of a group, anyway?
 * SL and O. What's the Lorentz group? Boosts + spatial rotations?

 * (Deduction of the existence of spin (at least the spin 1/2): Dirac's equation.)

 * How does the spin, as deduced from Dirac's equation, give the particle an angular momentum? How are the spin!=1/2 particles obtained? How does one know the spin of the particles which are quantums of a given field, e.g. the photon?

Computing

 * Finite differences and finite elements methods. (I can program, I just doesn't know those methods)
 *

 * How does a 2 bit Branch Prediction Table solve the problem of nested loops? Which problem is that?

Why do I think this is going to work?
We have a different technology for teaching, with disadvantages, but also with advantages.

Examples of disadvantages:

 * We do not have blackboards, so we cannot expand explanations in a step by step basis. This is more important in lessons which are thaught by drawing some diagram step by step.

 * We cannot speak, and listening is faster and less tiresome than reading.

 * We have trouble to draw things (when teaching in the real life, you can draw anything in a sheet of paper or a blackboard).

Problems_I_have_encountered

But:

 * Whatever enlightening drawing that is uploaded or explanation clearly worded that is written will remain forever, until enhanced further: We have not to start over and over every year, we are like a teacher without limited memory.

 * We have the potential to have tens of thousands of students for each lesson. And with a big number of students comes a big number of questions. And answering real questions enhances and completes the work. New students will benefit from all the questions done by every student of the same subject ever: It will not depend anymore on the class being shy or not.

 * We can link to explanations from previous lessons. This can't be done in a book, so it ends up full of numeric references to previous content (linking by index, vs our linking which is hard and informatized) and has to be more or less self-contained. We, e.g., can link from an explanation in Statistical Mechanics (4th year of Physics) to a deduction in Differential Equations I (usualy 2nd or 3rd year, and common to nearly all Sciences and Engineerings), so instead of wondering what an exact differential equation was, a student can just follow the link and remember.

 * We will have interdisciplinary connections "for free": In real life you are told about them only if the teacher happens to know them, and only those the teacher happens to know. Here, if for some hazar, a student of Statistical Mechanics knows about Stochastic Systems, Markov Chains, etc., and when he is thaught about Phase Transition Appearance and Sudden Break of Simmetry happens to make the connection, he can write about it and it will last forever.

'''I am the first who wants to learn just about every topic in CS and Physics (and by the way, Economy and Psychology, but not yet) and feel there is no real need to pay for it. There are very bad profesors in University: I learn better and more on my own, without paying a cent. There are also very good and wise profesors: And they normally know about their subject AND about the other profesors' subjects better than anyone else. I would pay them to teach me what they know about every subject. Here in wikiversity this problem cannot exist.'''

Hello, and CS topic areas
Hi Jorge, and welcome to Wikiversity!

I'm trying to get the CS area a bit cleaned up and organized. I noticed you commented on a few topics, and proposed some content suggestions. Please feel free to help out, and if you need assistance, to drop me a note on my talk page. And be sure to drop by School_talk:Computer Science and say hi! Historybuff 04:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Quantum stuff
Hi there! Thanks for your note on my talk page. I'd like to develop Quantum Theory of the Atom too, but I haven't had the time to really develop it. I'm not sure if I can keep up with your editing right now. But I'll keep my eye on it for sure :-) Second quantization and boson operators interest me too. By the way, the "SL" in SL(2, C) stands for special linear group, and "O" stands for orthogonal group. --HappyCamper 17:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm...where are groups useful? Well, one example is quantum mechanics! :-) This tends to show up in upper level or graduate courses in physics. Essential if you want to understand particle physics. Groups are also useful in chemistry. Loosely speaking, it's a way of classifying a physical system. If you can show that a problem is equivalent to a particular group, you can immediately determine all the properties and important relationships that are in it. Let's see...Representations of the Lorentz group might interest you too - but it's a bit heavy at the moment. Hope this helps! --HappyCamper 01:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Reflective spiral
Hi Jorge, I noticed you've used Image:CarrKemmisReflectiveSpiral.jpg on your user page - am I to take it that you're interested in action research? If so, I'd point you in the direction of two action research projects, Learning to learn a wiki way and Developing Wikiversity through action research. Your input would be appreciated! Talk to you again no doubt.. Cormaggio beep 21:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that response, Jorge, I love what you wrote. In fact, with your permission, I'd like to copy it to Talk:Action research so that it could be a cognitive resource for more people than just me. ;-) Would that be ok? Cormaggio beep 10:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Of course, no problem. Wiki and GFDL stuff, you know. --Jorge 23:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks (and sorry for the belated response!) I've added your comments to Talk:Action research just now. Interesting comments on your user page - perhaps you'd like to keep a blog like some others are doing? Enjoy your wikibreak - see you round.. :-) Cormaggio talk 00:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Finite Element Analysis
Hi Jorge, I am trying to learn Java and used to know a bit (enough to pass tests anyway) about finite element analysis. There is a decent article at Wikipedia about [FEAhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_elements] but basically it is about continuity and boundary conditions. If you have something that can be mathmatically specified as continuous like a stress pattern in a solid, electromagnetic field, tempature in a solid, etc. then you can model it by chunking it, specifying an equation for each chunk, specify known boundary conditions, formulate a set of simultaneous linear equations, and then solve the set iteratively. In general with enough iterations and small enough chunks the solutions to the unknowns in equations will converge on the actual answer. If you get interested in programming something in Java let me know, I am finding insufficient motivation to study Java by myself. Mirwin 05:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Helping out with the School of Physics
Hello Jorge,

I received your message about helping out with the physics pages on Wikipedia. I would be glad to help out as much as I can. Are there any specific areas that need work?

Spanish Contributors Refresh
Hi a few weeks ago I have found Spanish Language Division completely void. I added a new course for beginners, but the problem was that the sites Spanish and Topic:Spanish had unfriendly environment to add something like Spanish: An Introduction. I wait for a while, but then I started to reorganize those sites. My aims are give more freedom on these sites and to use more friendly Wikipedia templates (e.g. this) than the former HTML script was. Finally I would like to ask you if you can sign in ones more here and reconfirm your offer to help. You can also visit this. Regards Juan 15:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Talk:Identical particles
Hello Jorge, I just saw your comment on the above page:

 * Hey, don't speedy delete this... I can contribute to it but not until holidays. --Jorge 15:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you still interested in continuing that page ? Erkan Yilmaz ( evaluate me!, discussion ) 16:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Sure! May I ask why? --Jorge 08:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, yesterday I was deleting it and read the history and thought why not ask. Because it is some months since there were some edits and you might still be interested. And we could use more knowledge. What do you think ?
 * Unfortunately there was not much content except catgeory and only a header "Requisites".
 * If you want to continue, how about creating it new - with content :-) ? Erkan Yilmaz ( evaluate me!, discussion ) 08:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

What do you say?
Goodday!I am basically a student and lover of Physics. I think my knowledge is zero infront of yours but i thought after coming across your opinion on the portal to contact you.We can produce much better stuff concerning the subject,Physics.Though i haven't produced any stuff because of little time that i put on various wiki project out of my busy routine,i love discussions with exchange of knowledge as it needs little time.We can discuss many topics to the extent of ours knowledge which may help us and the wikiversity as well.I rarely visit wikiversity nowadys.Forward your comments on my talk page.Have a nice time....cheers,--Aquistive bud 16:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Conics,integration,...permutation
Hi!I came across your pretty contribution here and got really impressed.And all that brought me here,basically new here and interested in physics and maths.I'm also a school level maths teacher rather tutor.I,myself is just a lunatic lover of physics or i should say ,i was.Bcz i couldn't get good marks in exams.Anyhow ,friend can you help me how to be perfect in these mathematical areas.I felt you're interested in biology as well.Tell you Dawkin is not generally taught as part of biology.Hoping your reply soon...cheers.--Un-predictable 21:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh! thanks for your buttress in advance, friend ! I got choked while finding out the derivative for this one ,i.e, y = x . [a + x / a – x ]Superscript text1/2  by substitution. Can you please help me with this? :-]  Actually I have walked through the beauty of functions , matrices , trigonometry , probability , mathematical induction and nowadays Wandering in the valleys of derivatives.And soon my next step will be integration and then analysis.I have a lot of trivials to discuss which in reality are quite important but it’ll be possible if you allow(something related to sine and cos functions).

Do you agree that finding determinants and doing row and column operation on 4 x 4 matrices without expanding them is comparatively time- taking? One thing more, can you provide me the missing Elements of the table given below if the operation * is associative:- * a   b  c  d                                                a  a   b  c  d                                                b  b   a  c  d                                                c  -   -  -  - d d   c  c  d

O.k the missing elements are c c c c. But I’m unable to justify, how it is so? : (

Thanks for your valuable time in advance ) . Ah ! one thing more according to some recent researches and experiments, physicists suggest that there are certain objects in universe that can travel faster than light I mean ‘Tachyon’ (from the Greek word ‘tachys’, meaning swift) (also called ‘Quasiparticles’ which travel through laser-like media.) were found by late Gerald Feinberg of Columbia University, which are capable of travelling faster than light. It was said on theoretical basis not on Experimental basis. I think it’s  not easy to reject Mr. Einstein  ( who said, When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." ) What’s your say?--Un-predictable 15:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

math symbols
If you are looking for help with math symbols in wiki see meta:Help:Displaying a formula. --mikeu talk 22:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

cosmology
I saw your note: "If someone has questions related to this, tell me and I could start the Cosmology section of Wikiversity :) (or is there something already? It's been time since I don't browse the site)"  We don't seem to have anything on CMB and there is only a start page at Topic:Cosmology.  See also Topic:Astrophysics and feel free to leave a note on my talk page is you would like to collaborate on anything astronomy related.  --mikeu talk 22:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

 * There is also a start page for Dark matter. --mikeu talk 22:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

whiteboard possibility
Hello Jorge, there is a whiteboard feature available, see here. Two examples 1, 2). If you want we could make a test session once - I live in timezone UTC+2. It is also possible to request an extension here perhaps:, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 23:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

ACR
Hi Jorge. Are you still looking at your user page?

By trying to find some answers on how to conduct a research on Wikiversity I came about your comments on Action-research. Like "When I realized it could, in fact, be applied to (nearly?) every project we engage into, in our lives, it fascinated me". Other comments on your user page indicatet to me that you look for answers but are not satisfied of what you get. A reason why I am starting the Action-Circumstances-Reaction category on Wikiversity (not even sure of what it will be called). Because it provided a possible answer to "every project we engage in our lives" and which is also what nature is doing. It is somewhat very similar to the action-research but with a different follow-through which makes it more universal. I had no idea of the existing of action-research until now, but developed the ACR in the last 10 years on my own. I brought it to WV with the hope to find people which can reflect on it and help me to solidify it with their own addition. It is a rather simplistic approach to find answers about life and the universe. Not like the quantum theory. What would be your reaction to it? Please tell me on my talk page.--Martin Lenoar 08:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

About Quantum_Hall_effect page
The page is now a subpage at User:Jorge/Quantum Hall effect. In my opinion the subpage is not finished, so there is a template: This page contains inexplicable physics discussions.

I suppose you were the first in editing of the page. If you may finish the subject we could help with the wiki edition. Fedosin (discuss • contribs) 10:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have moved the page to your user space, Jorge. If you are interested in working on it, to finish it, that would be great. If you would prefer it be deleted, that can be done also. The page was originally tagged as an "Inexplicable physics" page, by someone who did not understand how Wikiversity can be used for learning and teaching. Thanks for your contributions to Wikiversity. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jorge. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jorge~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
