  • The Importance Of Morse Theory

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    theory has received much attention in the last two decades as a result of the paper by Witten (1982) which relates Morse theory to quantum field theory and also directly connects the stationary points of a smooth function to differential forms on the manifold (Eric W). Morse’s achievement in mathematics is singular and monumental, and will remain visible for years to come (Themistocles. M, 1983, p. 3).

  • A Kantian Interpretation of Demonstrative Reference

    3142 Words  | 7 Pages

    A Kantian Interpretation of Demonstrative Reference ABSTRACT: According to Kant, we refer to what is out there in the world by performing a demonstrative act, like pointing at an object with a finger. A Kantian mode of demonstrative reference is characterized by the existence of a real, 2-placed affective relation between an intuiting subject and the referent. Parsons suggests that Kantian intuition is both singular and immediate, and immediacy demands an object of intuition to be present, a condition

  • Executive Functioning

    1762 Words  | 4 Pages

    Executive Functioning Executive function is the ability to use thought flexibly to guide actions (Doebel & Zelazo, 2013). It is the process that serves to monitor and control thoughts and actions, including attention regulation and response inhibition (Carlson, Davis, & Leach, 2005). Executive function develops early in childhood and changes in ability between the ages of three and five years (Doebel & Zelazo, 2013). Inhibitory control, a key component of executive function, is the capacity to

  • Attitude Function Analysis

    Attitude Functions Attitudes serve a number of various functions, ultimately such functions may serve individuals need to reinforce positive or negative attitudes toward objects. A number of conceptual models were derived from such perspectives; however, the most persuasive model is the multicomponent model of attitude which consist of cognitive, affective, and behavioral components that contribute to the structure and expression of attitudes (Maio & Haddock, 2010). The links between attitude content

  • What would Maurits Cornelis Escher’s Regular Division of the Plane with Birds look like on the torus

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    Research Question: What would Maurits Cornelis Escher’s Regular Division of the Plane with Birds look like on the torus? Maurits Cornelis Escher was born in Leeuwarden, Holland in 1898. He showed an interest in design and drawing, and this led him to a career in graphic art. His work was not given much recognition until 1956 when he had his first important exhibition which led him to worldwide fame. He was inspired by the math he read about and his work related to those mathematical principles

  • Martin Buber's Obligation

    638 Words  | 2 Pages

    In I and Thou, a statement is made that is quite intriguing when Martin Buber states that “Man’s world is manifold, and his attitudes are manifold” (Kaufmann, 1996, pg. 9). Manifold is defined, as many or various meaning that there isn’t one particular choice. Martin Buber discusses manifold he describes it as something that is often frightening because it is not neat or simple. Men prefer things to be neat and simple because it makes it easier to decide what to do. People typically like to try to

    and indeed by means of the very same actions through which it brings the logical form of a judgment into concepts by means of the analytical unity, also brings a transcendental content into its representations by means of the synthetic unity of the manifold in intuition in general, on account of which they are called pure concepts of the understanding that pertain to objects a priori; this can never be accomplished by universal logic. A79, B105 This paragraph is purported to be the possible key to

  • Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

    1389 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Transcendental Deductions of the pure concept of the understanding in Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, in its most general sense, explains how concepts relate a priori to objects in virtue of the fact that the power of knowing an object through representations is known as understanding. According to Kant, the foundation of all knowledge is the self, our own consciousness because without the self, experience is not possible. The purpose of this essay is to lay out Kant’s deduction of

  • Supercharged Vs. Turbocharged

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    into energy and power. For this reason, supercharged and turbocharged engines normally produce 40% to 100%+ more power (depending on the amount of boost). Boost is any pressure above atmospheric pressure in the intake manifold. When there is more air pressure in the intake manifold that means that there can be more fuel pressure as well. The higher pressure in the combustion chamber means that the explosion used to move the pistons up and down is greater however this pressure has to resist combustion

    the passing exhaust gasses. The catalyst converts the harmful nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide into nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Catalytic converters work best when warm, so some car manufacturers are putting "pre cats" in the exhaust manifold to convert the gasses while the exhaust system is still warming up. Engine output is measured in two ways. The first is a direct measurement of engine output: Torque. Torque is defined as the amount of mass that can be lifted a certain distance

  • Mathematical Models of Spacetime in Contemporary Physics and Essential Issues of the Ontology of Spacetime

    3252 Words  | 7 Pages

    Mathematical Models of Spacetime in Contemporary Physics and Essential Issues of the Ontology of Spacetime ABSTRACT: The general theory of relativity and field theory of matter generate an interesting ontology of space-time and, generally, of nature. It is a monistic, anti-atomistic and geometrized ontology — in which the substance is the metric field — to which all physical events are reducible. Such ontology refers to the Cartesian definition of corporeality and to Plato's ontology of nature

By this time the turbocharger in your truck has "spooled up" and is now compressing air into the intake manifold. Suddenly, your pushed back into your seat as the turbo goes to work. All the motion of the vehicle is forward and there is no "peeling out" from your truck because all of the power is being transmitted to all four of your 16 inch wheels. After two

    reputation of being extremely difficult, primarily for two reasons: tensors are everywhere, and space time is curved. But at heart it is a very simple subject. The essential idea is perfectly straightforward: Spacetime is a curved pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a metric signature of (-+++) and the relationship between matter and the curvature of spacetime is contained in the equation R_μν- 1/2 Rg_μν=8πGT_μν (1) This is simply an equation between 4x4 matrices, and the subscripts label elements

    We've all seen them before, the mysterious chunks of metal under the hoods of our cars. They start when we turn the key and take us where we want to go. But how does an engine work? Internal combustion engines are a very important part of everyday life. We use them in our cars, trucks, airplanes. boats, snowmachines, 4 wheelers, and heavy machinery. These pages will help familiarize you with the basic concepts of how an engine works, an understanding of engine output, and some information on how
