I was having a conversation with a coworker and this question came up: is there a program like ORIGEN (or maybe even ORIGEN) to run decay calculations in reverse?
It's a relatively easy process to start with a given quantity of an isotope (e.g. U236), run it through a program such as ORIGEN...
While working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic I've taken to seeing if I can still do math from undergrad (something I do once in a while to at least pretend my life isn't dominated by excel). So to that I've been reviewing partial derivatives (which I haven't really thought about in a good...
Because I'm a fool and completely missed the parenthesis in your math! If you take it down to x, then the problem becomes much easier (most of your x's cancel).
The other day in a fit of boredom I decided to dust off my old math books (high school and undergrad) and see if I can still crank through the basics.
1. Homework Statement
Show the following: $$ \frac { 3 cos^2(x) } { 2 - 2 sin(x) } = \frac { 3 }{ 2 } ( sin(x) + 1 ) $$
Homework Equations

The other day in a fit of boredom I decided to dust off my old math books (high school and undergrad) and see if I can still do basic calculus. These days if I need to solve anything I ask a computer to do it, the hazards of getting a job in industry I suppose.
All that said, I have been...
To compliment the first reply - keep in mind the following: If the force has a component in the same direction as the displacement of the object, the force is doing positive work. If the force has a component in the direction opposite to the displacement, the force does negative work.
You may be getting ahead of yourself. When it comes to doing a PhD merely being able to be successful is only one part, there is also dedication to it - a PhD is a commitment of time and passion.
As a reframing of the scenario, might you be able to gain admission to a Biomed PhD with a Physics...
I'll admit to being ignorant of the ins and outs of the Australian University world. If, as indicated in your OP, you have passed the pre-test so thus stand a good chance of passing the actual test - wouldn't that indicate you're at a level the University feels is appropriate? Do you feel like...
With daily dedication to studying math and physics? Yes!
I was a middling math student in high school who went on to study physics as both an undergraduate and graduate student. It involved a lot of quality time with my nose in a book and making use of every resource available to me. I'm pretty...
Curious why you chose I-144 instead of Ba-144? Your Q value looks much better. On average fission of Pu-239 releases around 200MeV, so 154MeV is within what one might expect.
