Wei Yang talks about research ethics in China on Nature

Submitted by Jianliang Xiao on

Incomplete thoughts on mass flux and superposed RBM

Submitted by Amit Acharya on

Attached are some (hand-written) observations on wanting to do continuum mechanics when mass is not conserved for fixed sets of particles of the body (so, situations transcending the rocket-losing-mass type). I feel (un)comfortable with these observations, depending upon the day I think about such things.
