Progress in Physics back issues from April 2007:
The theory of vortical gravitational fields.
Apr 01, 2007; ... This paper treats of vortical gravitational fields, a tensor of which is the rotor of the general covariant gravitational inertial force. The field equations for a vortical gravitational field (the Lorentz condition, the Maxwell-like equations, and the continuity equation) are deduced in ...
Forces of space non-holonomity as the necessary condition for motion of space bodies.
Apr 01, 2007; ... The motion of a satellite in the gravitational field of the Earth is studied. The condition of weightlessness in terms of physical observable quantities is formulated. It is shown that the motion of all planets in the Solar system satisfy this condition. The exact solution of non-null ...
Evidence of non-local chemical, thermal and gravitational effects.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Quantum entanglement is ubiquitous in the microscopic world and manifests itself macroscopically under some circumstances. But common belief is that it alone cannot be used to transmit information nor could it be used to produce macroscopic non-local effects. Yet we have recently found ...
On line-elements and radii: a correction.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Using a manifold with boundary various line-elements have been proposed as solutions to Einstein's gravitational field. It is from such line-elements that black holes, expansion of the Universe, and big bang cosmology have been alleged. However, it has been proved that black holes, ...
Relativistic cosmology revisited.
Apr 01, 2007; ... In a previous paper the writer treated of particular classes of cosmological solutions for certain Einstein spaces and claimed that no such solutions exist in relation thereto. In that paper the assumption that the proper radius is zero when the line-element is singular was generally ...
Cosmological redshift interpreted as gravitational redshift.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Distant redshifted SNe1a light sources from the Universe that are usually interpreted as cosmological redshifts are shown to be universal gravitational redshifts seen by all observers in the quantum celestial mechanics (QCM) approach to cosmology. The increasingly negative QCM ...
Exact solution of the three-body Santilli-Shillady model of the hydrogen molecule.
Apr 01, 2007; ... The conventional representation of the [H.sub.2] molecule characterizes a 4-body system due to the independence of the orbitals of the two valence electrons as requested by quantum chemistry, under which conditions no exact solution is possible. To overcome this problem, Santilli and ...
Study of the matrix effect on the plasma characterization of six elements in aluminum alloys using LIBS with a portable Echelle spectrometer.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied to perform a study of the matrix effect on the plasma characterization of Fe, Mg, Be, Si, Mn, and Cu in aluminum alloy targets. The generated plasma emissions due to focusing of a 100 mj Nd: YAG pulsed laser at 1064 nm at the ...
Twenty-year anniversary of the orthopositronium lifetime anomalies: the puzzle remains unresolved.(A Letter by the Editor-in-Chief)
Apr 01, 2007; ... This letter gives a history of two observed anomalies of orthopositronium annihilation, of which the 20th anniversary occurs this year. The anomalies, breaking the basics of Quantum Electrodynamics, require more experimental study, in view of the recent claim of the Michigan group of ...
A proposed experimentum crucis for the orthopositronium lifetime anomalies.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Expansion of the Standard Model (SM) for the quantitative description of the orthopositronium lifetime anomalies allows formulation of additional experimental tests of supersymmetry in the final state of the positron beta-decay of nuclei such as [sup.22]Na, [sup.68]Ga, and resolution of ...
Numerical solution of time-dependent gravitational Schrodinger equation.
Apr 01, 2007; ... In recent years, there are attempts to describe quantization of planetary distance based on time-independent gravitational Schrodinger equation, including Rubcic & Rubcic's method and also Nottale's Scale Relativity method. Nonetheless, there is no solution yet for time-dependent ...
A note on unified statistics including Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein, and Tsallis statistics, and plausible extension to anisotropic effect.
Apr 01, 2007; ... In the light of some recent hypotheses suggesting plausible unification of thermostatistics where Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein and Tsallis statistics become its special subsets, we consider further plausible extension to include non-integer Hausdorff dimension, which becomes realization of ...
On the rate of change of period for accelerated motion and their implications in astrophysics.
Apr 01, 2007; ... We have derived in this paper, the relationship that needs to be satisfied when length measurements are expressed in two different units. Interesting relationships emerge when the smaller of the two units chosen is a function of time.We relate these results to the expected periodicities in ...
Gravitation on a spherically symmetric metric manifold.
Apr 01, 2007; ... The usual interpretations of solutions for Einstein's gravitational field satisfying the spherically symmetric condition contain anomalies that are not mathematically permissible. It is shown herein that the usual solutions must be modified to account for the intrinsic geometry associated ...
On the propagation of gravitation from a pulsating source.
Apr 01, 2007; ... According to an idea underlying the classical relativity, a pulsating (or simply expanding or simply contracting) spherical source does not generate an external dynamical (i.e. non-stationary) gravitational field. The relativists believe that this idea is well based on account of the ...
Effect from hyperbolic law in periodic table of elements.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Hyperbola curves Y = K/X and Y =(mx + n)/(px + q) at determination of the upper limit of the Periodic System have been studied. Their interdependence is shown by the example of mathematical calculations in chemistry. 1 Introduction. Mathematical basis Our previous ...
Fast LIBS identification of aluminum alloys.(laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy)
Apr 01, 2007; ... Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied to analysis aluminum alloy targets. The plasma is generated by focusing a 300 mJ pulsed Nd: YAG laser on the target in air at atmospheric pressure. Such plasma emission spectrum was collected using a one-meter length wide band ...
Notes on Pioneer anomaly explanation by sattellite-shift formula of quaternion relativity: remarks on "less mundane explanation of Pioneer anomaly from Q-relativity".
Apr 01, 2007; ... Use of satellite shift formula emerging in Quaternion (Q-) model of relativity theory for explanation of Pioneer anomaly [1] is critically discussed. A cinematic scheme more suitable for the case is constructed with the help of Q-model methods. An appropriate formula for apparent ...
Single photon experiments and quantum complementarity.
Apr 01, 2007; ... Single photon experiments have been used as one of the most striking illustrations of the apparently nonclassical nature of the quantum world. In this review we examine the mathematical basis of the principle of complementarity and explain why the Englert-Greenberger duality relation is ...
