Miles, M

Anomalously high radiation counts were observed using several different Geiger-Mueller (GM) detectors as well as sodium iodide (NaI) detectors during electrolysis experiments with palladium cathodes in heavy water. These high radiation counts were often observed in codeposition experiments where palladium metal is deposited from a D2O solution onto a copper cathode in the presence of evolving d...

Collaborating Across the Miles

In today's scientific environment scientists can no longer work in isolated laboratories. The problems being studied require experts from several fields to combine their talents. The instruments used to gather scientific data are expensive and difficult to build so there are only a few in the world. The Internet connectivity and the powerful desktop workstations available today provide the pote...

Chaos in Miles’ equations

Miles’ equation models the amplitude modulation of a Faraday wave. A dynamical system study is conducted on this concrete physical model. It turns out that a quartet of heteroclinic orbits can be located, but we fail to locate any homoclinic orbit. For a generalized Miles’ equation, a quartet of homoclinic orbits can be located, and existence of chaos can be proved under certain generic assumpt...
