Teaduslik revolutsioon 15431600 I One of the most important developments in the western intellectual tradition was the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution was nothing less than a revolution in the way the individual perceives [ tajub ] the world. As such, this revolution was primarily an epistemological revolution it changed man's thought process. It was an intellectual revolution a revolution in human knowledge. Even more than Renaissance scholars who discovered man and Nature, the scientific revolutionaries attempted to understand and explain man and the natural world. Thinkers such as the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus(14731543), the
that photographic plates stored in the dark near uranium were blackened like X-ray plates, which had been just recently discovered at the time 1895. It is energy released by the splitting (fission) or merging together (fusion) of the nuclei of atoms. The conversion of nuclear mass to energy is consistent with the mass-energy equivalence formula E = m.c², in which E = energy release, m = mass defect, and c = the speed of light in a vacuum. Nuclear chemistry can be used as a form of alchemy to turn lead into gold or change any atom to any other atom (albeit through many steps). Radionuclide (radioisotope) production often involves irradiation of another isotope (or more precisely a nuclide), with alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon of any atom. If an atom of lower

Then i will look main animated elements which have simple meaning when glancing it quickly, but also deeper meaning when focusing into it a bit more. Overall visual Firstly, i would like to describe the overall visual feeling of the video and why is it made the way it is. Denotative look : - Dark blue gradient in the background. - White circles positioned in 3D space. - Orange thin lines appearing and going into some of the white circles. - Lot of hexagons filled with graphical imagery Connotative look : - Blue color is mostly picked from the company's brandbook. It is associated with trust, hoenesty and loyality. From color pshycology persepctive its reliable, responsible, emits inner security and confidence. Blue is also referred as a sky or even pictured as a Earth atmosphere or a outer space
It is the sixth planet in the solar system, and is most famous for its stunning array of rings. It is a very easy planet to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the shy. It also has a very faint greenish color that makes it stand out from the rest of the objects in the sky ("Astronomy for Kids"). Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter being the only planet that is bigger. It also has at least eighteen moons, more than any other planet in the solar system. There have been three voyages to this extraordinary planet, and one is still in process today. The Pioneer II traveled to Saturn in September of 1979, the Voyager missions took place in the 1980's and the Cassini probe began it's voyage in October of 1997 (Kuhn 280-282). There are many aspects of Saturn that make it one of the most extraordinary planets in this solar system. Galileo Galilei was the first to view Saturn's system of rings in the year 1610

and all of the rest of the elements make up only 1%. Even in this one percent there are very rare elements and isotopes. These require large detectors to collect enough particles to say something meaningful about the "fingerprint" of their source. The HEAO Heavy Nuclei Experiment, launched in 1979, collected only about 100 cosmic rays between element 75 and element 87 (the group of elements that includes platinum, mercury, and lead), in almost a year and a half of flight, and it was much bigger than most scientific instruments flown by NASA today. To make better measurements requires an even larger instrument, and the bigger the instrument, the greater the cost. Where do they come from? Most galactic cosmic rays are probably accelerated in the blast waves ofsupernova remnants. This doesn't mean that the supernova explosion itself gets the particles up to these speeds. The remnants of the explosions, expanding clouds of gas and magnetic field, can last for thousands of years, and
Under surface pressure and temperature conditions, lighter hydrocarbons methane, ethane, propane and butane occur as gases, while pentane and heavier ones are in the form of liquids or solids. However, in an underground oil reservoir the proportions of gas, liquid, and solid depend on subsurface conditions and on the phase diagram of the petroleum mixture. An oil well produces predominantly crude oil, with some natural gas dissolved in it. Because the pressure is lower at the surface than underground, some of the gas will come out of solution and be recovered (or burned) as associated gas or solution gas. A gas well produces predominantly natural gas. However, because the underground temperature and pressure are higher than at the surface, the gas may contain heavier hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, and heptane in the gaseous state. At surface conditions these will condense out of the gas to form natural gas condensate, often shortened to condensate
1.3 How a railgun works The power supply is simply a source of electric current. Typically, the current used in medium- to large-caliber railguns is in the millions of amps. The rails are lengths of conductive metal, such as copper. They can range from 1.2 to 9 meters long. The armature bridges the gap between the rails. It can be a solid piece of conductive metal or a conductive sabot -- a carrier that houses a dart or other projectile. Some railguns use a plasma armature. In this set-up a thin metal foil is placed on the back of a non-conducting projectile. When power flows through this foil it vaporizes and becomes a plasma, which carries the current. Picture 1. Basic parts in a railgun Source: http://www.seminarsonly.com/mech%20&%20auto/railgun-seminar-report-ppt.php 6 The armature may be an integral part of the projectile, but it may also be configured to accelerate a separate, electrically isolated or non-conducting projectile
either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; there is more starvation, diseases and non-provision of essential services than when we got our independence. There are all kinds of wars in Africa than the rest of world put together. The majority of so-called Africans leaders want to stay in power until the day their bodies are put in the grave
alternative, Sunbutter, especially in China, the United States, the Middle East and Europe. In Russia it is probably the most wide spread snack.[citation needed] It is also sold as food for birds and can be used directly in cooking and salads. Sunflower oil, extracted from the seeds, is used for cooking (but is less cardiohealthy than olive oil), as a carrier oil and to produce biodiesel, for which it is less expensive than the olive product. During the 18th Century, the use of sunflower oil became very popular in Europe, particularly with members of the Russian Orthodox Church because sunflower oil was one of the few oils that was not prohibited during Lent. The cake remaining after the seeds have been processed for oil is used as a livestock feed. Some recently developed cultivars have drooping heads. These cultivars are less
· New South Wales · Victoria · Queensland · South Australia · Western Australia · Tasmania New South Wales is the most populous state in Australia. Its capital is Sydney. Victoria is one of the most densely populated states in Australia. Its capital city is Melbourne and it was named after the British Prime Minister Lord Melbourne. Melbourne is said to be the heart of Australian finance and the headquarters of industry giants. Victoria is more an industry than a tourist state. Queensland is known for its natural riches like huge coalfields, copper, silver, lead. Its capital city is Brisbane, which is the third largest city in Australia. Because it lies in the Northeast part of Australia, its climate is mainly tropical. South Australia is famous as it is the region of fruit farming, vineyards and olive groves. Only the southern coast is fertile, most of the state is arid. Its capital is Adelaide, which is known for the Adelaide circuit.

Some renewable energy technologies are criticised for being intermittent or unsightly, yet the market is growing for many forms of renewable energy. Climate change concerns coupled with high oil prices, peak oil and increasing government support are driving increasing renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization. New government spending, regulation, and policies should help the industry weather the 2009 economic crisis better than many other sectors. Costs Renewable energy systems encompass a broad, diverse array of technologies, and the current status of these can vary considerably. Some technologies are already mature and economically competitive (e.g. geothermal and hydropower), others need additional development to become competitive without subsidies. This can be helped by improvements to sub-components, such as electric generators. The table shows an overview of costs of various renewable energy technologies

2008 film Camp Rock. (It had positive reviews from fans...) The storyline is that Mitchie Torres cannot wait to return to Camp Rock and reunit with all of her camp friends , especially Shane Gray- the boy she met last campyear. They both had decided to spend the summer to get to know each other better. Shane arrives at camp in a chicken wagon after their bus had fallen into the lake. This situation was really funny !! When all the members had arrived they discover that Camp Star, a new camp across the lake, has lured many campers and instructors away, threatening the (very) hard existence of Camp Rock. Camp Star invites Camp Rock to attend a friendly bonfire. After seeing Camp Star's musical performance Camp Star's top performer, some campers, diva Tess Tyler, decide to leave Camp Rock and join Camp Star. Tess quickly becomes partners with Luke on all of Camp Star's performances. Although they sing very well together and look like they make a
photograph or several is instantaneous. In addition, the cameras allow us to keep a record of a large number of important events, either of oneself or of important moments for the global history. As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words" 4 Uses of the Photographic Camera (SEBA) Camera obscura, the first camera was first mentioned by Chinese philosopher Mo-Ti in the 5th century before Christ. He formally recorded the creation of an inverted image formed by light rays passing through a pinhole into a darkened room. He called this darkened room a "collecting place" or the "locked treasure room." in 384-322 before Christ the optical illusion was understood by Aristotle. The crescent shape of a partially eclipsed sun projected on the ground through the holes in a sieve, and the gaps between leaves of a plane tree was viewed by him. Full account of the principle including experiments with five lanterns outside a
"The boat is lower'd, the boatmen row, / And to the Inchcape Rock they go; / Sir Ralph bent over from the boat, / And he cut the Bell from the Inchcape float." This stanza is quite literal, it does not take a genius to understand what it is about - the sailors take the evil man to the buoy and he cuts the Bell free. In the tenth stanza, Sir Ralph the Rover lets the bell sink to the depths of the ocean- "Down sunk the Bell with a gurgling sound. / The bubbles rose and burst around;". He then enviously and with malice says that the next man who comes to the Rock, will not thank the Abbot (because his ship will crash the Rock and he will die in a very painful manner). In this stanza, Southey takes the gut-feeling of something bad happening to the next level, by describing the bubbles that appear after Ralph has thrown the bell into the water, such words as "gurgling" and "burst" also have a negative undertone and add to the feeling of the approaching danger.
Symbols: Australia had the British flag as their official flag until 1901, when the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Over 30 000 entries attracted the official competition. Five of them, which contained almost identical designs, were placed equally first. The Australian flag symbolises Australia's historical links with Britain, because it has British flag on it, and Australia's location in the southern hemisphere, because it has stars of the Southern Cross on it. The large seven-pointed star represents the six original states and the territories of Commonwealth. There is also the Indigenous Australian flag, which represents the Aboriginal Australians. The flag with its colours of red (representing the land), black (representing the people) and the yellow in the middle (representing the sun) is a source of pride for Indigenous Australians. The present coat of arms was granted by King George V in 1912

At times waste of kitchens and excrement of human bodies is used in these processes. The human excreta are supposed to occupy, at the most, 3% of the slurry. The addition of human excreta is crucial in this context as it increases the amount of production of biogas. This is because human excreta have high nitrogen content. The ideal temperature for producing biogas is within 35 to 38 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is lower than that then the production of biogas may go down as well. If the temperature is 15 degree Celsius then it would be impossible to produce any biogas. This is precisely the reason as to why thermal insulation is necessary to produce biogas when it is the winter season or at places where the temperatures are normally lower than the requisite level. The heating of digesters is also pretty important in this regard. The pH of the slurry has to be close to 7. This is pretty much
writers were invited to show their work in european art galleries and break dancers like the Rock Steady Crew started touring. Hip Hop and aerosol art were promoted through television and media. Graffiti appeared regularly in popular video clips, music and books. Films such as " Style Wars" by Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant, “Wild Style” by Charlie Ahearn described and promoted aerosol culture and young artists like Zephyr, Dondi White, Lee and Seen were now considered like rock stars by the emerging Hip Hop european scene. Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper book "Subway Art" quickly became the bible of graffiti art for the young writers and b-boys from Los Angeles to Amsterdam. By 1987, Chalfant second book “Spraycan art” documented the movement on walls across the world. By the late 80’s, the European scene was long established and in full force.

20,0 million and most of the people live in bigger cities: Sydney (4.2 million), Melbourne (3.7 million), Brisbane (2 million) and in Canberra, Which is also the capital of Australia. National language in Australia is english and the monetary unit is Australian dollar. Australia is divided into 6 states and 2 territories. Symbols Australia has a British Union flag. It is red, white and blue. Five small stars represent the constellation Southern cross. The big star represents country's states and territories. In 1901 the flag was chosen from about 30000 entries in a public contest. It was officially adopted as Australian flag in 1953. The coat of arms features a kangaroo and an emu (the national animals of Australia), golden wattle (the national floral emblem), a shield with the coats of arms of the six states of Australia and a star for all states and territories.
PACS numbers: 1 I. ON THE NECESSITY OF THE DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY There are Einstein Equations for the perfect fluid together with equation of state p = p(ρ, T ) with temperature T . Latter can not vary from place and time, because the “strong equivalence principle” holds. In case of Friedmann Universe the metric contains only one unknown function (the scale factor a(t)). Therefore the number of unknowns are less, than the number of equations (because the conservation of number of particles requires the density of the perfect fluid ρ = ρ0 (a0 /a(t))3 , see also [1] or you can ask for unpublished Gauss’s theorem in the curved spacetime). Therefore, an unknown X(t, x, y, z) from Dark Matter is needed. This unknown can be the purely the Higgs Field itself [1]. The singularities are the failure of General Relativity, thus the finite Higgs Field (which
1920x1080 1440x1080 16:9 4:3 Most AVCHD cameras will claim full 1080, and some will claim 1080p output. They are all recording as a 1080i frame, and converting to 1080p when using the hdmi output. (My HDV equipment does the same, sends it to the tv as a 1080p signal over hdmi) The resolution is 1920x1080, so technically this would be a slightly sharper picture than the 1440x1080 that HDV records. My JVC camera has 4 compression settings. 5meg, 12 meg, 15 meg and a whopping 24 meg. The 3 lower bit rates are directly compatable with the AVCHD standard for optical disks, so disks made can directly be played on bluray players. The 24 meg format is over the spec for AVCHD, and can only be burned to real BDR disks, or transcoded to a lower bitrate for recording on conventional DVD-R media with compatability with blu ray players.
Based on the work of Joseph Campbell, The Writers Journey is a must for all writers interested in further developing their craft. This updated and revised Third Edition provides new insights and observations from Vogler's ongoing work on mythology's influence on stories, movies, and man himself. In revealing new material, he explores key principles like polarity and catharsis, plus: • A revised chapter which looks back at the Star Wars phenomenon and analyzes the six feature films as an epic on the theme of father-son relationships • New illustrations and diagrams that give additional depth to the mythic principles • A final chapter, "Trust the Path," an inspiring call to adventure for those who want to discover themselves through writing "This book is like having the smartest person in the story meeting come home with you and
It is also possible to be so ultra-sensitive that the result is disadvantageous. I expect no argument in asserting that a normal sensitivity is a healthy, indispensable ingredient for optimal education. Sensitivity can be heightened or blunted by education. It is intertwined with curiosity. An ideal education affords numerous and varied opportunities for students to touch, see, smell, listen, hear; to spark their curiosity. When I was a child the things that pleased me were largely other than the plants which have earned me a living as an adult. For example, I collected postage stamps, played basketball, was fond of listening to music, played all manner of games, but dealt only in a neutral, uninspired fashion with plants. The one thing that was constant and of supreme importance was my love of reading. I don't recall why, but by an early age, say age 9, I was a phenomenal reader of books, a habit that persisted all the way until college. Reading expands one's mind immensely

The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind. Two Chernobyl plant workers died on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation poisoning. The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine was the product of a flawed Soviet reactor design coupled with serious mistakes made by the plant operators. It was a direct consequence of Cold War isolation and the resulting lack of any safety culture.
Marilyn Monroe Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson;[1] June 1, 1926 August 5, 1962), was a Golden Globe award winning[2] American actress, singer, model, Hollywood icon,[3] cultural icon, fashion icon,[4] pop icon and sex symbol. She is known for her comedic acting roles and screen presence. Monroe became one of the most popular movie stars of the 1950s and early 1960s. During the later stages of her career, she worked towards serious roles and her fame surpassed that of many entertainers of her time.[5] Her death at thirty six was classified as "probable suicide."[6] Many individuals including Jack Clemmons, the first LAPD Police officer to arrive at the death scene[7] believed that she was murdered.[8] She is the only female on the Forbes top earning dead celebrities list.[9] Contents 1 Childhood 1.1 Family and early life 1
There have been many climate fluctuations over the 10,000 years since Britain was last covered with an ice sheet. Advances and retreats of ice in the northern hemisphere during the past 500,000 years can be accounted for by changes in the warmth from the Sun. This was caused by alterations in the Earth's orbit at periods of 96,000, 40,000 and 20,000 years. Although that theory is widely accepted as a possible explanation for ice ages, it has not been proved. More than 50 theories have been put forward, but only a few have not been completely dismissed. Not long ago a new theory was published in the science journal "Nature". According to Dr. Garry Hunt, of University College, intense radiations from the nuclear explosion of a nearby supernova a star could cause the destruction of part or all of the ozone layer and in this way trigger an ice age. As for me, I like autumn best of all. The trees are covered with yellow and red leaves
1. FIRST SIGHT My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt -- sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a parka. In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy, omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It was in this town that I'd been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three summers, my dad, Charlie, vacationed with me in California for two weeks instead. It was to Forks that I now exiled myself-- an action that I took with great horror
