To the extent that you’re familiar with magnetostriction, you probably know that it’s what makes big transformers hum, or that it’s what tips you off if you happen to walk out of a store without ...

Reflection was essential to the advanced Java toolkit for years. Now it's being superseded by newer, safer options. Here's how to use MethodHandle and VarHandle to gain programmatic access to methods ...

Euler Method: The simplest numerical method for solving ODEs, which uses the derivative to project forward. [ y_{n+1} = y_n + h \cdot f(x_n, y_n) ] Heun's Method (Improved Euler Method): A two-step ...

ABSTRACT: We present (on the 14th International Conference on Geology and Geophysics) the convincing evidence that the strongest earthquakes (according to the U.S. Geological Survey) of the Earth ...
