Physics: Fighting for time

Fighting poverty, fighting AIDS.

J effrey sachs is an economist, not an evangelist. But give the man 10 minutes behind a microphone, and a scholarly symposium starts to feel like a revival meeting. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he tells a hushed hall after describing how AIDS sufferers die in Malawi for want of $1-a-day drugs, “this plague is exploding. Its consequences will make the world quake. Rich countries could stop the devast...

Quantum Physics: A Case for Anti-Realism?

Radioiodination of a natural toxin (ICD-85) for fighting cancer

Introduction: Many molecules can be labeled by iodine. Some of labeled substances are used for investigations of cancer treatment, biodistribution study in body, receptor binding, secrete pathway etc. Peptides are biomolecules and can be labeled by 131Iodine. ICD- 85 is a tri-peptide derived from Iranian brown snake venom and scorpion venom. This tri-peptide treats cancer by i...

A new fractional sub-equation method for solving the space-time fractional differential equations in mathematical physics

In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

A Real-Time Physics Simulator for JengaTM

The project sets out to create a real-time physics simulator for the game of JengaTM in 3D. It is observed that the game of JengaTM is physically that of creating a stable stack of blocks, a situation with a high number of contacts indirectly connected to each other at any one time. Analysis of the popular rigid-body method for physics based simulation shows it not to be an ideal solution for s...
