Progress in Physics back issues from July 2007:
On the earth microwave background: absorption and scattering by the atmosphere.
Jul 01, 2007; ... The absorption and scattering of microwave radiation by the atmosphere of the Earth is considered under a steady state scenario. Using this approach, it is demonstrated that the microwave background could not have a cosmological origin. Scientific observations in the microwave region are ...
Phase-variation enhancement on deuteron elastic scattering from nuclei at intermediate energies.
Jul 01, 2007; ... Within the modified formalism of Glauber's multiple scattering theory, we have studied the elastic scattering of deuteron with nuclei in the mass region 6 [??] B [??] 72 at intermediate energies. We have calculated the differential cross-section with and without invoking the ...
Funnel's fluctuations in dyonic case: intersecting D1-D3 branes.
Jul 01, 2007; ... The fluctuations of funnel solutions of intersecting D1 and D3 branes are quite explicitly discussed by treating different modes and different directions of the fluctuation at the presence of world volume electric field. The boundary conditions are found to be Neumann boundary conditions. ...
On the possibility of nuclear synthesis during orthopositronium formation by [[beta].sup.+]-decay positrons in deuterium.
Jul 01, 2007; ... Observations of the "isotopic anomaly" of positron ([sup.22]Na) annihilation lifetime spectra in samples of gaseous neon of various isotopic abundance, the independent observations of the orthopositronium lifetime anomaly, and comparison of unique experimental data on the positron's ...
Reply to "notes on pioneer anomaly explanation by satellite-shift formula of quaternion relativity".
Jul 01, 2007; ... In the present article we would like to make a few comments on a recent paper by A. Yefremov in this journal [1]. It is interesting to note here that he concludes his analysis by pointing out that using full machinery of Quaternion Relativity it is possible to explain Pioneer XI anomaly ...
Comment on "Single Photon Experiments and Quantum Complementarity" by D. Georgiev.(Report)
Jul 01, 2007; ... The paper "Single Photon Experiments and Quantum Complementarity" by Georgiev misrepresents my position on the Afshar "which path/interference" debate. D. Georgiev has recently published a paper [1] in which he argues that my interpretation [2] of a "complementarity" experiment ...
Exact mapping of quantum waves between Unruh's and Afshar's setup (reply to W. Unruh).
Jul 01, 2007; ... In a recent letter, Unruh argued that I have misrepresented his position and I have "put words into his mouth" which distort Unruh's original analysis of Unruh's setup. Unfortunately such a complaint is ungrounded. I have presented a mathematical argument that Unruh's which way claim for ...
The Algebraic Rainich conditions.
Jul 01, 2007; ... In the literature, the algebraic Rainich conditions are obtained using special methods such as spinors, duality rotations, an eigenvalue problem for certain 4 x 4 matrices or artificial tensors of 4th order. We give here an elementary procedure for deducing an identity satisfied by a ...
The spacetime structure of Open Quantum Relativity.
Jul 01, 2007; ... In the framework of the Open Quantum Relativity, we discuss the geodesic and chronological structures related to the embedding procedure and dimensional reduction from 5D to 4D spacetime. The emergence of an extra-force term, the deduction of the masses of particles, two-time arrows and ...
Yang-Mills field from quaternion space geometry, and its Klein-Gordon representation.
Jul 01, 2007; ... Analysis of covariant derivatives of vectors in quaternion (Q-) spaces performed using Q-unit spinor-splitting technique and use of SL(2C)-invariance of quaternion multiplication reveals close connexion of Q-geometry objects and Yang-Mills (YM) field principle characteristics. In ...
On the dependence of a local-time effect on spatial direction.
Jul 01, 2007; ... This paper addresses further investigations of local-time effects on the laboratory scale. We study dependence of the effect on spatial directions defined by a pair of sources of fluctuations. The results show that the effect appears in the neighborhood of directions North-South and ...
A study of a local time effect on moving sources of fluctuations.(Report)
Jul 01, 2007; ... This work presents an experimental investigation of a possible mechanism causing local time effects, with the aid of moving sources of fluctuations. The results show that the measurement system, consisting of two separated sources of fluctuations moving in a near-Earth space, can detect ...
A theory of the Podkletnov effect based on general relativity: anti-gravity force due to the perturbed non-holonomic background of space.(SPECIAL REPORT)
Jul 01, 2007; ... We consider the Podkletnov effect--the weight loss of an object located over a superconducting disc in air due to support by an alternating magnetic field. We consider this problem using the mathematical methods of General Relativity. We show via Einstein's equations and the geodesic ...
Comment on the "Declaration of the Academic Freedom" by D. Rabounski.(LETTERS TO PROGRESS IN PHYSICS)
Jul 01, 2007; ... At least four major misconceptions gravely affect science and technology today, and the progress of scientific and technological research. These misconceptions are related to a utilitarian view of science, whereby large-scale collaborations and institutions of higher learning are conceived ...
Is classical statistical mechanics self-consistent? (A paper in honour of C. F. von Weizs acker, 1912-2007).(LETTERS TO PROGRESS IN PHYSICS)(Carl-Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsacker )
Jul 01, 2007; ... In addition to his outstanding achievements in physics and activities in policy, C.-F. von Weizsacker is famous for his talks, given as a member of the Academy Leopoldina. Due to the latter, I could learn quite a lot from his methodological writings. In particular, he is the only modern ...
Zelmanov's Anthropic Principle and Torah.(LETTERS TO PROGRESS IN PHYSICS)(Abraham Zelmanov )
Jul 01, 2007; ... According to Jewish Kabbalistic tradition, nothing is real except for G-d. In this brief letter, originally addressed to Torah scholars, we demonstrate how Zelmanov's Anthropic Principle is consistent with this tradition by analyzing the famous question in philosophy, "If a tree falls in a ...
Declaratie asupra Libertatii Academice (Drepturile Omului in Domeniul Stiintific).
Jul 01, 2007 ... Articolul 1: Introducere Inceputul secolului al 21-lea reflecta mai mult decat oricand in istoria omenirii, rolul adanc si significant al stiinlei si tehnologici in activitatile umane. Natura atotpatnunzatoare si universala a stiintei si tehnologiei moderne a dal ...
