Physics Demonstrations: Fowler's Physics Applets
No full textMichael Fowler, Commonwealth Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia, offers this prime collection of (some still in progress) physics demonstrations. Applets (Java) demonstrate such classic principles as Newton's Cannon (in which the user may fire red cannonballs at different velocities from a tall mountain -- and see which of them will orbit the earth), Group Velocity and Phase Velocity, Two-dimensional Collisions, Projectile Motion, Brownian Motion, and One-dimensional One-atom classical Gas, among others. Inquisitive users may download the applet as a .zip file, as source code, or with related class materials. A series of related applets are listed, as are links to resources such as TIPTOP, The Internet Pilot to Physics

On the synonymy of Sagitta decipiens Fowler, 1905, and Sagitta neodecipiens Tokioka, 1959, and the validity of Sagitta sibogae Fowler, 1906
No full textThe inadequacies of the original descriptions of Sagitta decipiens Fowler, 1905, and S. sibogae Fowler, 1906, have led to confusion concerning these species. Sagitta neodecipiens Tokioka, 1959, is a junior synonym of S. decipiens Fowler, 1905. S. sibogae Fowler, 1906, is the valid name for the species usually incorrectly named S. decipiens (non Fowler, 1905) because of the redescription of Ritter-Zahony (1911). S. philippini Michael, 1919, is a junior synonym of S. sibogae. The two valid species are redescribed from the types, and lectotypes have been designated
