That's specific power, not specific energy. Do you mean 1 kW*r/kg?

I thought the same thing.

They broke split screen on the switch.

That's very similar to my experience.

That's generally what you should do with a scientific model: state your assumptions and methodology clearly.

And most if not all scientific and engineering models spread properties across a group of objects and use averages. R_0 is an average. And it's the average behavior that matters here

In a well tested population, you might be able to focus interventions on infected people and their contacts. In the US population, the people most likely to spread the disease are those who interact most with other people. That means getting those people to reduce their interaction rate.

It's a semi-empirical model, as are many if not most models used to make decisions.

You're supposed to say "kriging" at least once in this post. :P

I created this entry. It's evolved considerably.

I do still recommend the original source I used: The Concise Guide to American Aircraft of World War II by David Mondey. It's great.

The terms are gas giant and terrestrial (or rocky) planet. They're already there.

Yes to pressure part and no to the venturi part. Well, it's not enough. You still have to generate a downdraft to conserve momentum and the venturi idea doesn't explain that.

Seconded. Masters in ASE, written my own vortex lattice code from scratch.

"Wings generate lift by changing the velocity of the flow around them" seems general and correct but the why part is pretty tricky without notions of continuity and conservation laws. And vorticity helps a lot, too.

In an absolute sense you're not going to prevent any deaths unless you're preventing lives. Everybody alive is going to die.

One less death relative to what?

It's quadratic. Polynomial would also have been acceptable. But what they meant to say is "superlinear". Like aetherson, this drives me nuts.

Including those at NASA.

And as far as I can tell, organizations struggle with doing multilevel and multidisciplinary optimization.
