A New Way to Make Waves
I describe a new algorithm for solving nonlinear wave equations. In this approach, evolution takes place on characteristic hypersurfaces. The algorithm is directly applicable to electromagnetic, Yang-Mills and gravitational fields and other systems described by second differential order hyperbolic equations. The basic ideas should also be applicable to hydrodynamics. It is an especially accurat...
متن کاملIndoor Soccer Team Starting to Make Waves
Unfortunately, the booters started very slowly, getting aced in their first two matchups. Then, last weekend, the Danes turned things around, and defeated a highly ranked Brockport team. 1-0, on a goal by Chepc Ruano. The Danes then went on tolose two overtime matchups. The first came against Morrisville (one of the finest Junior College soccer teams around) losing 2-1. The second loss came aga...
متن کاملDoes the brain make waves to improve stability?
In many ways, roboticians and the human brain are faced with the same problem: How does one control movement from a distance? In both cases, delays in the transmission of information play an important role, either because the distances to be covered are long (imagine controlling a robot arm on the moon from a command center on Earth), or because the underlying hardware is slow (nerves transmit ...
متن کاملHow Brain Waves Help Us Make Sense of Speech
Understanding a sentence that someone else utters may seem effortless to you, but it’s actually a complex process because you have to parse that sentence into many parts to understand what it means. Speech consists of a hierarchy of components that each takes place on a different timescale. Speech cues such as intonation occur on a relatively long timescale, unfolding over hundreds of milliseco...
متن کاملFossils explained 54
Plesiosaurs may be divided into two general morphotypes, based on body shape. ‘Pliosauromorphs’ have a large head and a short neck—traditionally thought to be pliosaurs, while ‘plesiosauromorphs’ have a small head and long neck, and have been seen as plesiosauroids. This is in fact an oversimplification, and today, detailed analysis and investigations of plesiosaur anatomy suggest that these mo...
