The relation between science and religion is often discussed in the media — what are your views? For the large majority of scientists, religion has no direct impact on their research and this is not an issue that concerns them. But I don’t believe that we should pretend that science and religion are ‘compatible’: they are actually diametrically opposed ways of thinking and acquiring knowledge. ...

A model including detailed gas phase chemistry previously applied to nitrate ester and nitramine solid propellants and their major ingredients has been successfully applied to the pure energetic ingredient nitroguanidine and to M30, a triple base propellant which contains nitroguanidine. This is the first modeling of either based on a detailed gas phase mechanism. Computed burning rates are in ...

North - Holland BIFURCATION TO SPATIALLY INDUCED CHAOS IN A R

A one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation is used to model a class of experimental open chemical systems in which spatiotemporal patterns can be sustained indefinitely. Numerical simulations for the model in parameter regimes corresponding to experiment reveal only low-dimensional behavior. The observed bifurcation sequence leads from steady state concentration profiles to temporally chaoti...

While split-plot designs have received considerable attention in the literature over the past decade, there seems to be a general lack of intuitive understanding of the error structure of these designs and the resulting statistical analysis. Typically, students learn the proper error terms for testing factors of a split-plot design via expected mean squares. This does not provide any true insig...
