...A Briefer history of Time Steven hawking with Leonard Mlodinow Bantam Books (2005) Pages 1-60 A Briefer History of Time is a book aimed at explaining our universe It was written by Steven Hawking, and as the title suggests is a 'briefer' version of the original book. Steven hawking is incredibly famous for his contributions to the world of physics, this was all achieved while constantly battling a motor neurone disease. His first book a brief history of time was incredibly successful but many people found it to be too complex and some key concepts were hard to understand, Thus this version was released. Its aim is to make the difficult scientific theory's more accessible to the general public. The book is an attempt to explain everything we know, or think we know about the universe and cosmology. The first few chapters of the book are aimed at explaining the basics of physics and how it has progressed over time, It goes on to talk about Newton's laws and explain what a scientific theory is. This is a great move by the authors because it helps to explain the complex material by first going through the foundations of physics, this in turn makes the book far more accessible to the public . This is perfect as the book is aimed at ordinary people with an interest in science. The language used in the book is fairly technical but has been simplified to make the book easier to understand, this has been done well because...

...grow and change 3. a nonpaternalistic approach to helping a person gain more self-knowledge, self-control, and self-healing, regardless of the presenting health-illness condition. ASSUMPTIONS deal with human life, nursing science, and the process of nursing. Watson's conception of human life is tied to notions that one's soul possesses a body that is not confined by objective space and time. The lived world of the experiencing person is not distinguished by external and internal notions of time and space, but shapes its own time and space, which is unconstrained by linearity. Nursing is a human science of persons and human health-illness experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, esthetic, and ethical human care transactions. The process of nursing is human care. THE THEORY OF HUMAN CARING The main concept of the theory is TRANSPERSONAL HUMAN CARING, which is best understood within the concepts of three ancillary concepts: LIFE, ILLNESS, and HEALTH. HUMAN LIFE is defined as spiritual-mental-physical being-in-the-world, which is continuous in time and space. ILLNESS is not necessarily disease. Illness is subjective turmoil or disharmony with a person's inner self or soul at some level or disharmony within the spheres of the person, either consciously or unconsciously. HEALTH refers to...

...The Effect of Time and Temperature on Storage of Fresh Pechay I.Introduction A. Objectives The study is performed to discuss the effect of time and temperature on the storage of fresh pechay. It is also done to explain the difference of low and high temperature on the storage fresh pechay. Lastly, to explain other factors related to time and temperature that may affect the storage. Through conducting this study, the proper storage conditions of food items will be determined. B. Significance of the Study The study aims to show the effect of time and temperature in the storage of fresh pechay. This will determine whether the fresh pechay will react positively or negatively towards the conditions of its storage. This study will be using two set-ups which will be observed three times. One of the set-ups will be placed in a place with room temperature only, around 30º C. The other set-up will be placed inside the refrigerator, about 48º F. The effectivity of the two different set-ups will be indicated by the resulting qualities of the pechay bunches. This will be helpful in determining the proper storage techniques that will maintain the physical and nutritional qualities of food items. This experiment is done in the Bio-assay Laboratory, Institute of Human Nutrition and Food, College of Human Ecology, UPLB. II.Review of Literature Pechay, scientifically known as Brassica rapa chinensis, is considered as one of the popular vegetables here in the Philippines...

...been discussed by a variety of scholarly voices. Among the most prominent is Michel Foucault, who described the various ways that consumer markets circumscribe public spaces, placing important distinctions between class members. In particular, Foucault discusses heterotopia – the public space which carries both physical and psychological gravity. For Foucault, public spaces are characterized by existing without truly existing. The heterotopia serves as a metaphor for a larger context while having the appearance and characteristics of other everyday spaces. Tyndall takes this notion a step further by developing social rules that are attached to consumer places, such as malls and shopping districts (Tyndall, 2009). This version of consumer-driven rules – culled from qualitative research and personal interviews – depicts a new notion of public-ness that is less egalitarian than ever before. It is a version of public space that is not entirely open to the public. Baker adds to this perspective by historicizing the commercialization of public space, dating the use widespread use of public space for advertising purposes to before the dawn of the 20th century (Baker, 2007). This argument inextricably links the notion of “culture” with “consumerism”, and sets the stage for the potential for access to public spaces to be consumed, or purchased. Finally, Klingle underscores this spatial history of consumption, placing the transaction of consumer power contexts as diverse as Thoreau’s...

...In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number ofcoordinates needed to specify any point within it.[1][2] Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it (for example, the point at 5 on a number line). A surface such as a plane or the surface of acylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it (for example, to locate a point on the surface of a sphere you need both its latitude and its longitude). The inside of a cube, a cylinder or a sphere is three-dimensional because three coordinates are needed to locate a point within these spaces. In physical terms, dimension refers to the constituent structure of all space (cf. volume) and its position in time (perceived as a scalar dimension along the t-axis), as well as the spatial constitution of objects within—structures that correlate with both particle and field conceptions, interact according to relative properties of mass—and are fundamentally mathematical in description. These, or other axes, may be referenced to uniquely identify a point or structure in its attitude and relationship to other objects and occurrences. Physical theories that incorporate time, such as general relativity, are said to work in 4-dimensional "spacetime", (defined as a Minkowski space). Modern theories tend to be "higher-dimensional" including quantum field and string theories. The state-space of quantum mechanics is...

Describe in a metonymic way => metonymy= a figure of speech which use a part to describe the whole or the whole to designate the part. It appeals to motion it’s a downward movement, a change of perspective. It anticipates on the movement of the fall and it’s also strategic as Edgar considers it. He states the existence and the impossibility of place at once. He particularly insists on sense of sight and earring.

...theoretically, “all bodies not changing position with respect to a specific observer is stationary in the frame of reference attached with the observer.”(Singhil) Hermann von Helmholtz stated, “A moving body whose motion was not retarded by any resisting force would continue to move to all eternity.”(Brainy) Helmholtz means that every single thing on earth is always constantly moving. What is motion; it is a state which indicates change of position. Motion of a body refers to the time given in a frame of reference. A frame of a reference is a method to describe space from the perception of an observer. In other words, it is a system of measurement for locating positions of the bodies in space with reverence to a viewer. These terms “reference” and “observer” are used to explain and describe motion. A frame of reference is a mathematical construct that specifies the location of a point of an object in space. The frame of reference is a coordinate system. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, it comprises of three perpendicular axes. Observation of motion is considered a human endeavor, but the motion of an object would be considered both human and non-human things, such as clouds, rivers, moon, and mountains. There are also three different types of motions real time motion,...

... over a scope of orders. It is tricky to know whether the consideration has been justified. A disarray of terms has been utilized, for example, space, place, spatiality, area and each has implied a group of regularly opposing and confounding implications. This wonder is normal to a scope of controls in the humanities. This implies, first and foremost, that it is not generally simple to perceive what is being talked about under the rubric of space, and second, that over-broadened employments of the social turn have frustrated important engagement with materiality in discourses of space. This article demonstrates how materiality has been underestimated both by an easygoing vocabulary and an energetic epistemological comprehensive quality from researchers, and how the spatial turn has been too nearly connected to the social turn to permit it to build up its fullest illustrative potential. It exhibits how history specialists may gainfully hypothesize the noteworthiness of spot and space in their work acquiring methods from geographers and anthropologists, and alluding to the phenomenological custom, and sets out a few difficulties for utilizing space all the more adequately as a part of informative frameworks. Enlivened by ecological history, human science, and science and innovation studies, I propose a method for creating space as not the same as customary verifiable treatment of materiality, and end by distinguishing some methodological issues that need to be comprehended...

...When a file is stored in clusters that are not physically located next to each other on the platter, it is fragmented. Fragment can occur for various reasons, but most common cause is the modification of deletion of a file. To explain it generally is that there are three files. First one takes three spaces and the second and third takes two spaces. We remove the second one and replace with a five space file. Since all five can’t fit within the two spaces, we put two into the space and put the rest at the end. This is called fragmentation. Fragmentation can affect all files, including system files. As a result fragmentation will affect all window system. As a normal user, the hard drives will fragment over time and activities such as updates or installation and deletion of programs can cause major fragmentation. It will cause the performance to degrade over time. The different processes running in the background i.e. window explorer, all take an allotted amount of RAM to perform at optimum levels. More free RAM means that the essential processes that are running have more priority of the space and the CPU. When you begin to run your RAM to its limits, the essential processes and even the non-essential processes begin to lag due to the overtaxing of the CPU and RAM. Technically RAM does not have any influence on the processor performance, but it does have an influence on how much processes or technically instructions that processor can read. So a greater amount of RAM memory...

...Kubrick’s “Jupiter Room” in 2001: A Space Odyssey, reflects films ability to reconstruct the narrative form of time. The audience follows as David Bowman surrealistically jumps from one moment of his life to the next, and eventually to his death. Kubrick does not rely on conventional methods of film technique to construct this scene. He instead manipulates sound, montage, and a paradoxical version of the shot/reverse shot to convey the progression through Bowman’s timeline. The audience enters this scene and experiences an awakening: Bowman has witnessed the birth and death of the universe by going through a black hole. A close-up of Bowman’s eye, blinking, as if woken up from a nightmare is the opening shot. The color of his eyes have changed to normal blue, and he gapes, with a mixture of confusion and terror, at the sterile, white room. The camera then turns to a point-of-view shot of Bowman looking through the pod’s window. The interior of the pod is a series of rectangular lights leading to a perspective vanishing point that mimics the arrangement of the black hole. Next is a close-up of Bowman’s face, almost seizure-like, with the reflection of...

...There is no architecture without action, events, and programs (Tschumi 1994;121). Tschumi suggests that “any relationship between a building and its users is one of violence, for any use means intrusion of the human body into a given space, the intrusion of one order into another" (122). This essay will aim to explore the "complex juxtaposition of abstract concepts and immediate experiences" of the violence of architecture, through a walking tour of Barangaroo Reserve. [need a sentence here] Tschumi defines the 'violence' of architecture as a metaphor for the intensity of relationship between individuals and spaces (122). That is to say, the intrusion of the human body into architectural space, and the affect of architectural space on the human...
