    2-D Brownian motion with correlated noise

    dx/dt = η(t) dy/dt = ζ(t) where <η(t)>=<ζ(t)>=0 <η(t)η(t')> = 2Dδ(t-t') <ζ(t)ζ(t')> = 2Dδ(t-t') If <η(t)ζ(t')> = 0, we have the standard 2-D diffusion equation and the analytical solution is known. If <η(t)ζ(t')> = 2Dδ(t-t'), or η(t) = ζ(t), we can transform it into a 1-D problem...

    The editor rejected my manuscript

    I do think my work can make a step further in my field, but in my field only. When I look at the cover letter again, there is indeed not enough emphasis on the physics techniques I have applied. But it's clear in the manuscript if the editor has skimmed through it. I didn't expect that the cover...

    The editor rejected my manuscript

    I thought everything in this forum is by default related to Physics. Anyway, my background is physics and maths and my approach in the work is also very physics-oriented. So I doubt whether the editor in high energy physics field could make a fair judgement on a biophysics manuscript. Can it...

    The editor rejected my manuscript

    Thanks Mute and carlgrace for the reply. Below is the editor's response: We have considered your manuscript and conclude that it is not suited for Physical Review Letters. We make no judgment on the correctness or technical aspects of your work. However, from our understanding of the...

    The editor rejected my manuscript

    I think it belongs to the category "Quantitative biology" in arXiv. We used Physics approach to describe and understand a biological system. There are a lot of such papers in PRL and PRE. Please, please, lots of physicists work on biophysics.

    The editor rejected my manuscript

    I just sent a manuscript to PRL which is in the field of quantitative biology. The editor from high energy physics rejected it in one day without sending it to any reviewer. I know that is the policy of PRL (and other high impact factor journals) to do this screening. But I think it's not fair...

    Grounding/earthing in a simple circuit

    if the emf of the battery is 1V, does it mean that the potential of the circuit is 0.5V maximum, and then drop to 0V at the grounding point, and then to -0.5V after the current passes through the second R?

    Grounding/earthing in a simple circuit

    I know that the purpose of grounding is to set a potential reference or to set up a sink for charges. In the circuit in the attachment, what is the function of the grounding? Does it affect the voltage drop across the two resistors? Assume that the connection wire has no resistance and the...

    SHO with a fixed boundary

    How to solve the time-independent Schodinger equation with the following potential: U(x)=x^2 for x>x0 U(x)=infinity for x<x0 ?
