c_0mh9fiweee8u | In one line of thought, technology develops autonomously, in other words, technology seems to feed on itself, moving forward with a force irresistible by humans. To these individuals, technology is "inherently dynamic and self-augmenting. "Jacques Ellul is one proponent of the irresistibleness of technology to humans. ... | Technology and society |
c_t9ekkuu6c8lt | However, he does not believe that this seeming autonomy of technology is inherent. But the perceived autonomy is because humans do not adequately consider the responsibility that is inherent in technological processes. Langdon Winner critiques the idea that technological evolution is essentially beyond the control of i... | Technology and society |
c_llfwwttiz6ak | He argues instead that the apparent autonomy of technology is a result of "technological somnambulism," the tendency of people to uncritically and unreflectively embrace and utilize new technologies without regard for their broader social and political effects. In 1980, Mike Cooley published a critique of the automatio... | Technology and society |
c_0rkzil155niw | The title alludes to a comparison made by Karl Marx, on the issue of the creative achievements of human imaginative power.

c_abx63bfhob2g | In one of Ackermann's original 1937 constructions, the vertices of the Rado graph are indexed by the hereditarily finite sets, and there is an edge between two vertices exactly when one of the corresponding finite sets is a member of the other. A similar construction can be based on Skolem's paradox, the fact that ther... | Rado graph |
c_wqwyjwdcx50y | By quadratic reciprocity and the restriction of the vertices to primes congruent to 1 mod 4, this is a symmetric relation, so it defines an undirected graph, which turns out to be isomorphic to the Rado graph.Another construction of the Rado graph shows that it is an infinite circulant graph, with the integers as its v... | Rado graph |

c_7ryfly13l0ky | He goes on to say the first volume "continues to be a standard reference". He says that book's greatest weakness is that it lacks a "real historical sense", that it misses wider contexts and is therefore incomplete, as it focuses on theories rather than people. | A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity |
c_x1cy5pl0c3ba | Hunt closes by noting that the book is, in many ways, a "relic of a past age", but remains "very useful" when "approached critically" and praises Whittaker as "one of the last and most thoughtful of the great Victorian mathematical physicists." In a 2003 review of a book by the French science historian Olivier Darrigol... | A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity |
c_w4556pbvhwoa | In one of Yau's earliest papers, written with Blaine Lawson, a number of fundamental results were found on the topology of closed Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature. Their flat torus theorem characterizes the existence of a flat and totally geodesic immersed torus in terms of the algebra of the fundamental... | Shing-Tung Yau |
c_oldhh129fb2o | Similar results were obtained at the same time by Detlef Gromoll and Joseph Wolf. Their results have been extended to the broader context of isometric group actions on metric spaces of nonpositive curvature.Jeff Cheeger and Yau studied the heat kernel on a Riemannian manifold. They established the special case of Riema... | Shing-Tung Yau |
c_tlouzjtf80rc | Specializing to rotationally symmetric metrics, they used the exponential map to transplant the heat kernel to a geodesic ball on a general Riemannian manifold.

c_zhcdvb3p9qig | In one of his earliest and most famous publications, "Study of Organ Inferiority and Its Psychical Compensation," Adler outlined the basics for what would be the beginning foundation of his personality theory. The article focuses mainly on the topics of organ inferiority and compensation. Organ inferiority is when one ... | Adlerian Psychology |
c_fe5se5ihjbab | When compensation occurs, other areas of the body make up for the function lacking in the inferior portion. In some cases, the weakness may be overcompensated transforming it into a strength. | Adlerian Psychology |
c_qqisquefbuw2 | An example would be an individual with a weak leg becoming a great runner later on. As his theory progressed, the idea of organ inferiority was replaced with feelings of inferiority instead. As Adler's theory progressed, he continued evolving his theory and key ideas.Adler's book, Über den nervösen Charakter (The Neuro... | Adlerian Psychology |
c_ch0e0zho1f4x | He argued that human personality could be explained teleologically: parts of the individual's unconscious self ideally work to convert feelings of inferiority to superiority (or rather completeness). The desires of the self ideal were countered by social and ethical demands. If the corrective factors were disregarded a... | Adlerian Psychology |
c_td0aqlw41bfz | In one of his earliest works, Hamilton proved the Earle–Hamilton fixed point theorem in collaboration with Clifford Earle.

c_os5z4wkrm73l | In one of his first articles, Tian studied the space of Calabi-Yau metrics on a Kähler manifold. He showed that any infinitesimal deformation of Calabi-Yau structure can be 'integrated' to a one-parameter family of Calabi-Yau metrics; this proves that the "moduli space" of Calabi-Yau metrics on the given manifold has t... | Tian Gang |
c_p1hkm7yhr6o0 | Let L be a line bundle over a Kähler manifold M, and fix a hermitian bundle metric whose curvature form is a Kähler form on M. Suppose that for sufficiently large m, an orthonormal set of holomorphic sections of the line bundle L⊗m defines a projective embedding of M. One can pull back the Fubini-Study metric to define... | Tian Gang |
c_m801n2wgh114 | The approximability of a Kähler metric by Kähler metrics induced from projective embeddings is also relevant to Yau's picture of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, as indicated above. In a highly technical article, Xiuxiong Chen and Tian studied the regularity theory of certain complex Monge-Ampère equations, with appl... | Tian Gang |
c_08kcs2zc8n2l | In one of his three Annus mirabilis papers of 1905, on special relativity, Albert Einstein noted that, given a specific definition of the word "force" (a definition which he later agreed was not advantageous), and if we choose to maintain (by convention) Newton's second law of motion F = ma (mass times acceleration equ... | Einstein's unsuccessful investigations |

c_iga1d11harrb | In one of the Aztec accounts of creation, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca joined forces to create the world. Before their act there was only the sea and the crocodilian earth monster called Cipactli. To attract her, Tezcatlipoca used his foot as bait, and Cipactli ate it. The two gods then captured her, and distorted her... | Tezcatlipoca |
c_j02ajwk80tmb | After that, they created the people, and people had to offer sacrifices to comfort Cipactli for her sufferings. Because of this, Tezcatlipoca is depicted with a missing foot.Following this, Tezcatlipoca turned himself into the sun. As a result of his transformation, this and all subsequent ages of humanity were termed ... | Tezcatlipoca |
c_hh90evqq81l6 | Quetzalcoatl was furious, so he knocked Tezcatlipoca out of the sky with a stone club. Angered, Tezcatlipoca turned into a jaguar and destroyed the world.

c_28ae4n9rkbla | In one of the critical moments of the Apollo 11 mission, the Apollo Guidance Computer, together with the on-board flight software, averted an abort of the landing on the Moon. Three minutes before the lunar lander reached the Moon's surface, several computer alarms were triggered. According to software engineer Robert ... | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_up10yrqr4664 | This action was something he requested many times whilst working in the simulator. The result was a series of unexpected error codes during the live descent. | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_wd7id6voay05 | The on-board flight software captured these alarms with the "never supposed to happen displays" interrupting the astronauts with priority alarm displays. Hamilton had prepared for just this situation years before: There was one other failsafe that Hamilton likes to remember. Her "priority display" innovation had create... | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_qamwe25pr9k6 | As the alarms went off and priority displays replaced normal ones, the actual switchover to new programmes behind the screens was happening "a step slower" than it would today. Hamilton had thought long and hard about this. | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_fpc6yziz00ej | It meant that if Aldrin, say, hit a button on the priority display too quickly, he might still get a "normal" response. Her solution: when you see a priority display, first count to five. By some accounts, the astronauts had inadvertently left the rendezvous radar switch on, causing these alarms to be triggered (the cl... | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_cziwn2z6zwd1 | The computer was overloaded with interrupts caused by incorrectly phased power supplied to the lander's rendezvous radar. The program alarms indicated "executive overflows", meaning the guidance computer could not complete all of its tasks in real time and had to postpone some of them. The asynchronous executive design... | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |
c_2bcuys9qt2sw | This depended on our assigning a unique priority to every process in the software in order to ensure that all of its events would take place in the correct order and at the right time relative to everything else that was going on. Hamilton's priority alarm displays interrupted the astronauts' normal displays to warn th... | Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) |

c_s0syj4pbtbl0 | In one of the earlier studies conducted by Manes, M., & Hofer, L. J. E., the Polyani theory was used to characterize liquid-phase adsorption isotherms on various concentrations activated carbon using a wide range of organic solvent. The polyani theory was shown to be a good fit for these various systems. Because of the... | Potential theory of Polanyi |
c_s2k38ancz7ga | The curve was not able to fit the data at high-capacity range. The study also concluded that there were a few anomalies in the results. | Potential theory of Polanyi |
c_fpxpe8dxjz61 | The adsorption from carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, and carbon disulfide onto activated carbon was not able to fit well to the curve, and remain to be explained. The researchers who conducted the experiment speculate that steric effects of carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane may have played a role. The study has be... | Potential theory of Polanyi |
c_qnzu8bxmad8g | In one of the earliest monocot taxonomies, that of John Lindley (1830), the grouping corresponding to the lilioid monocots was the "tribe" Petaloideae. In Lindley's system the monocots consisted of two tribes, the Petaloideae, and the Glumaceae (the grasses and sedges). Lindley divided the Petaloideae into 32 "orders" ... | Lilioid monocots |
c_gndduolwfffc | Hence the concept that there was a natural grouping of monocots whose flowers were predominantly petaloid, gave notion to the term "petaloid monocots". The core group of petaloids were the Liliaceae, hence "lilioid monocots". The term "lilioid monocot" or lilioid" has had widely varying interpretations. | Lilioid monocots |
c_bm7wpbaottbr | One of the narrower applications is "lily-like" monocots, meaning the two orders Asparagales and Liliales, but the term has also been applied to Takhtajan's superorder Lilianae, the whole of Liliales, or restricted to Cronquist's broadly defined Liliaceae. Although "petaloid" and "lilioid" have often been used intercha... | Lilioid monocots |
c_wv27v80ssexc | When classification systems were based on morphological characters alone, lilioid species which clearly departed from the "lily" pattern were easily placed into separate families. For example, the Amaryllidaceae contained species whose flowers had six stamens and an inferior ovary. The Iridaceae contained those with th... | Lilioid monocots |
c_6e31t5o90qnx | The remaining taxa were put together in a very broadly defined Liliaceae, usually referred to as Liliaceae sensu lato (s.l.). The Cronquist system's definition, for example, is the broadest of all. | Lilioid monocots |
c_0ausgifjlqz3 | Rolf Dahlgren and colleagues were responsible for one of the most radical reorganisation of families, and in their 1985 monocot monograph defined the two orders (Asparagales and Liliales) which contain the bulk of monocot geophytes, as constituting the lilioid monocots.The development of DNA sequencing and the use of g... | Lilioid monocots |
c_6v00qdz29q2q | For instance some genera such as Hyacinthus, previously placed in Liliaceae s.l., were reclassified in families within Asparagales (in this case Asparagaceae). In 1995 Chase et al. reviewed the understanding of the lilioids and equated them to Dahlgreen's Liliiflorae, which they designated as superorder Lilianae. They ... | Lilioid monocots |
c_6btlt407za6c | They also noted that while many authors treated this group as monophyletic (having a common ancestor), a closer reading of their texts revealed evidence of paraphyly (excluding some descendants of a common ancestor). For instance, Dahlgren had based monophyly on a single synapomorphy, that of a petaloid perianth, yet i... | Lilioid monocots |
c_d7v7me60v2ie | In one of the earliest studies involving misattribution, the Canadian cognitive psychologist Bruce Whittlesea presented subjects with a list of common words. Each word was briefly displayed to the subject. The task required the subject to judge whether a target word was semantically related to any word in the list. Unl... | Misattribution of memory |
c_2hi4r4yqh07n | After the subjects were given a brief moment to study the list of words, the subjects were presented with sentences that would contain a word that was capitalized at the end of the sentence that would have either been, or not been, from the previously presented list. The word at the end of the sentence was either highl... | Misattribution of memory |
c_zgs1b9lvgcn0 | If not, they were to respond by saying that the word was "new" versus it being "old". The study revealed that the new words that were highly predictable were more likely to be incorrectly identified as being previously seen, whereas the new words that were less predictable were not so identified. | Misattribution of memory |
c_bk61dl9qvjpa | In fact, subjects actually named predictable words faster than they did unpredictable words. Whittlesea was able to conclude from this study that subjects misattributed their fast responses for highly predictable words as an indication that they had previously experienced the word whereas in fact that was incorrect. As... | Misattribution of memory |
