Technique for strip chart recorder time notation
Single recorder channel helps determine the time an event is recorded on the readout of a strip chart recorder. It presents hours, tens of minutes, and minutes by a unique method of time increment identification. This facilitates recording timing marks
Abelian Gauge Theory in de Sitter Space
Quantization of spinor and vector free fields in 4-dimensional de Sitter
space-time, in the ambient space notation, has been studied in the previous
works. Various two-points functions for the above fields are presented in this
paper. The interaction between the spinor field and the vector field is then
studied by the abelian gauge theory. The U(1) gauge invariant spinor field
equation is obtained in a coordinate independent way notation and their
corresponding conserved currents are computed. The solution of the field
equation is obtained by use of the perturbation method in terms of the Green's
function. The null curvature limit is discussed in the final stage.Comment: 10 pages, typos corrected, reference adde
Unintended consequences of imprecise Notation -- an example from mechanics
We present a conundrum that results from the imprecise use of notation for
partial derivatives. Taking an example from mechanics, we show that lack of
proper care in representing partial derivatives in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian
formulations paradoxically leads to two different values for the time
derivative of the canonical momentum. This problem also exists in other areas
of physics, such as thermodynamics
