    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 26. Last time, the perfect crime was starting to come unraveled. Acting on a tip from his brother, the police inspector He (2) Tao (1) arrested Bai Sheng, the Daylight Rat, for his part in the hijacking of the birthday gifts for the premier. After sufficient torture, Bai Sheng fessed up and confirmed that Chao Gai, the ward chief at East Bank Village in Yuncheng (4,2) County, was the ringleader of the plot. So He Tao was dispatched with 20 men to go to Yuncheng County, where they were to get the cooperation of the local magistrate and arrest Chao Gai and his co-conspirators. When He Tao got to Yuncheng County, court was in recess. So he talked to a clerk of the court, a man named Song Jiang. Now, this Song Jiang was apparently a man of some renown, because He Tao showed him great deference and confided to him the reason for the visit, asking him to help. Song Jiang said sure, no problem; I’ll take you to see the magistrate as soon as he comes back in the afternoon. In the meantime, pardon me while I go take care of a few things at home. So Song Jiang left He Tao at the teahouse across the street from the courthouse and hopped on his horse. But as soon as he left the town, Song Jiang galloped off toward the east. Soooo, what gives? Who the heck is this Song Jiang? And where is he going? As it turns out, this lowly clerk of the court in a podunk little county is going to be THE central character of our novel.

  • Predicting the Binding Energies of the 1S Nuclides with High Precision, Based on Baryons Which Are Yang-Mills Magnetic Monopoles
    Journal of Modern Physics, 2013, 4, 70-93 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jmp.2013.44A010 Published Online April 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/jmp) Predicting the Binding Energies of the 1s Nuclides with High Precision, Based on Baryons which Are Yang-Mills Magnetic Monopoles Jay R. Yablon Schenectady, New York, USA Email: [email protected] Received March 22, 2013; revised April 24, 2013; accepted April 29, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Jay R. Yablon. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT In an earlier paper, the author employed the thesis that baryons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles and that proton and neutron binding energies are determined based on their up and down current quark masses to predict a relationship among the electron and up and down quark masses within experimental errors and to obtain a very accurate relationship for nuclear binding energies generally and for the binding of 56Fe in particular. The free proton and neutron were under- stood to each contain intrinsic binding energies which confine their quarks, wherein some or most (never all) of this energy is released for binding when they are fused into composite nuclides. The purpose of this paper is to further ad- vance this thesis by seeing whether it can explain the specific empirical binding energies of the light 1s nuclides, namely, 2H, 3H, 3He and 4He, with high precision. As the method to achieve this, we show how these 1s binding ener- gies are in fact the components of inner and outer tensor products of Yang-Mills matrices which are implicit in the ex- pressions for these intrinsic binding energies.

  • Theory Attached to Practice Chinese Debates Over Basic Research from Thought Remolding to the Bomb, 1949–1966
    David Kaldewey and Désirée Schauz (eds.), Basic and Applied Research: The Language of Science Policy in the Twentieth Century (New York: Berghahn Books, 2018), 228-247. C hapter 8 Theory Attached to Practice Chinese Debates over Basic Research from Thought Remolding to the Bomb, 1949–1966 Zuoyue Wang ላሌ In 1963, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which had come under re- peated political attacks in the past for pursuing impractical “theory in detach- ment from practice,” sought to take advantage of an interlude of ideological liberalization by codifying the optimum proportions of its various programs. The Academy formulated a set of “work regulations” governing four types of research, which it would engage in during the coming decade: “15–20 percent basic research, 35–45 percent applied basic research, 30–40 percent applied research, and 5–10 percent extension research.”1 Both the contents of the above policy pronouncement and the fact that it was made at all refl ected the central position of the debate over basic and applied research—in its various semantic guises—in the politics of science and technology policy of the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) under Communist leader Mao Zedong both before and after 1963.The objective of this chapter is to use the basic/applied debate to explore the interactions of historical forces at work in shaping Chinese science and technology policy during the Mao era, which started with the founding of the P.R.C. in 1949 and ended with his death and the termination of the Cultural Revolution in 1976.

  • Outlaws-022 Lure
    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 22. Last time, Chao Gai and Liu Tang were planning to hijack the convoy of birthday presents meant for the premier. They brought this idea to the brains of the operation, a local scholar named Wu Yong. Wu Yong suggested that they needed seven or eight bodies to pull this off, but not just any bodies. To that end, he went to recruit three fisherman brothers in Stone Tablet Village: Ruan Xiao’er, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi. As we rejoin the narrative, Wu Yong was spending the night with the three Ruan brothers, and they were drinking and feasting over dinner at the home of one of the brothers. After a few cups, Wu Yong once again broached the pretext of his visit -- that he was there to secure a bunch of big fat juicy fish for a wealthy patron. But the Ruan brothers told him that such big fish were no longer available in these waters. “But you have such a large fishing ground here,” Wu Yong asked, “How come you can’t find big fish?” “To tell you the truth, professor,” said Ruan Xiao’er, the eldest brother, “such big fish can only be found in the waters around Liangshan. The lake around this village is too small for fish that big.” “Well, the marsh around Liangshan is not far from here, and the two bodies of water are connected,” Wu Yong said. “So why don’t you go there to get some fish?” “[Sigh] Don’t even ask,” Ruan Xiao’er sighed.

  • Silicon-Burning Process
    Silicon-burning process In astrophysics, silicon burning is a very brief[1] sequence of nuclear fusion reactions that occur in massive stars with a minimum of about 8-11 solar masses. Silicon burning is the final stage of fusion for massive stars that have run out of the fuels that power them for their long lives in the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It follows the previous stages of hydrogen, helium, carbon, neon and oxygen burning processes. Silicon burning begins when gravitational contraction raises the star's core temperature to 2.7–3.5 billion Kelvin (GK). The exact temperature depends on mass. When a star has completed the silicon-burning phase, no further fusion is possible. The star catastrophically collapses and may explode in what is known as a Type II supernova. Contents Nuclear fusion sequence and silicon photodisintegration Binding energy See also Notes References External links Nuclear fusion sequence and silicon photodisintegration After a star completes the oxygen burning process, its core is composed primarily of silicon and sulfur.[2][3] If it has sufficiently high mass, it further contracts until its core reaches temperatures in the range of 2.7–3.5 GK (230–300 keV). At these temperatures, silicon and other elements can photodisintegrate, emitting a proton or an alpha particle.[2] Silicon burning proceeds by photodisintegration rearrangement,[4] which creates new elements by adding one of these freed alpha particles[2] (the equivalent of a helium nucleus) per capture step in the following sequence (photoejection of alphas not shown): 28 + 4 → 32 14Si 2He 16S 32 + 4 → 36 16S 2He 18Ar 36 + 4 → 40 18Ar 2He 20Ca 40 + 4 → 44 20Ca 2He 22Ti 44 + 4 → 48 22Ti 2He 24Cr 48 + 4 → 52 24Cr 2He 26Fe 52 + 4 → 56 26Fe 2He 28Ni 56 + 4 → 60 [nb 1] 28Ni 2He 30Zn The silicon-burning sequence lasts about one day before being struck by the shock wave that was launched by the core collapse.
