Abstract New data on Dutch and British GDP/capita show that at no time prior to 1750, perhaps not before 1800, did the leading countries of northwestern Europe enjoy sustained strong growth in GDP/capita. Such income per head as occur was highly episodic, concentrated a few decades then followed by long periods stagnation head. Moreover, 1800 economies reach levels capita much different from pe...

Our purpose is to detect ocean surface features, specifically oceanic thermal fronts, through analysis of SAR (synthetic aperture radar)-derived wind stress fields. Fine-resolution measurements of near-surface wind speeds over the Gulf Stream region of the Northwest Atlantic were made using SAR images collected by RADARSAT-2. Linear statistical relationships between the wind stress curl and div...

It shows that the current physics is divorced from reality in many aspects and violates some basic scientific principles. This paper makes an illustration six aspects: impossible time travel, unreal black hole photos, unvalid principle of equivalence, unscientific electromagnetism, incorrect subjective analysis, untrue lunar motion.

This study presents a measure-theoretic approach to estimate the upper bound on total variation of difference between hypergeometric and binomial distributions using Kullback-Leibler information divergence. The distribution can be used find probabilities associated with experiments. But if sample size is large relative population size, experiment may not binomial, good choice experiment. probab...
