Free medical student revision notes. Free medical student revision notes. About Us almostadoctor.com is an exciting, innovate, online project, which aims to create the ultimate free medical resource, for medical students, junior doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.
It is run by junior doctors and medical students. We started out in July 2009, just as a place where one student, uploaded his notes, to share with his friends. Since then we’ve grown to incorporate hundreds of articles from many authors, blogs, mind maps, and loads of other useful resources! Initially, all of our content was written by Tom Leach, but this quickly became a formidable task, and he invited others to join in. Why did we go wiki(ish) To improve our content To help keep the site up-to-date and relevant To improve our referencing (to improve our content’s credibility as a scientific source of information) How does it work?
Who are we? Good question! · Then we have about 20 other official article writers who are involved to varying degrees, from around the UK. Why should I register? B2FH paper. The B2FH paper, named after the initials of the authors of the paper, Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, William Fowler, and Fred Hoyle, is a landmark paper of stellar physics published in Reviews of Modern Physics in 1957.[1] The formal title of the paper is Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, but the article is generally referred to only as "B2FH".
The paper comprehensively outlined and analyzed several key processes that might be responsible for the synthesis of elements in nature and their relative abundance, and it is credited with originating what is now the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. Physics in 1957[edit] At the time of the publication of the B2FH paper, George Gamow advocated a theory of the universe according to which virtually all elements, or atomic nuclei, were synthesized during the big bang. The implications of Gamow's nucleosynthesis theory (not to be confused with present-day nucleosynthesis theory) is that nuclear abundances in the universe are largely static.
Pi. The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.
It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/). Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction. Consequently its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern. The digits appear to be randomly distributed although no proof of this has yet been discovered. Also, π is a transcendental number – a number that is not the root of any nonzero polynomial having rational coefficients.
Pi proof perimeter. Calculus proof for the area of a circle. Interesting.
