Preface and Arithmetic and Geometry philosophy of mathematics

Mathematics gives access to the part of philosophy including introduction, arithmetic, and geometry. In other words, mathematics concerns the way people perceive this physical world and hence essential to the physical world. The arithmetic is a philosophical part of mathematics that deal with the property and manipulation of numbers. For instance, in arithmetic, the sequence has the constant difference between the two consecutive terms, while in the geometry the sequence has a ratio between the terms.

Introduction

How materials behave is dependent on various factors, some of which include their mechanical properties. When the material experiences various loading conditions, its behavior reflects its mechanical conditions as well as the effect of the loading conditions. When a material experiences various loading conditions, the material experiences either shear stress, tensile strength, or compressive strength. The tensile properties of a material relate to its ability support any axial loads to which it is subjected without rapturing (Department of Engineering. 2007). When a material is subjected to tensile stress, the deformation that occurs is in the form of elongation or ...

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

Abstract

In 2013, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5) grouped all subcategories of autism-related disorders in one umbrella, and it is called autism spectrum disorder or ASD. Characterized by repetitive behaviors and communication and social skills deficits, many children from all around the world are afflicted with this disorder. Throughout the years since its discovery, researchers and mental health experts have been interested in completely understanding the nature, etiology, and possible treatments for ASD. Through continuous research efforts and studies, several perspectives have been established to explain the causes of ...

Abstract

This study focuses on the issue of diabetes among the people of Asian origin. It begins by describing diabetes as a recent pandemic that has imposed a significant burden on diabetic patients and healthcare providers. Diabetes is primarily a metabolic disorder that elevates the level of blood sugar and, hence, causes various complications, including death. The disease is common in Asian communities due to genetic factors, diet, and lifestyle trends. Thus, there is a need for skilled medical professionals, such as nurses, to increase diabetes awareness, encourage the adoption of preventive measures, and promote diabetes care among Asians. As ...

ABSTRACT

This study compares the use of the use of Kinesio Taping® (KT) versus use of Sham Taping over the erector spine muscles on performance of the Biering Sorensen Test in normal, healthy young adults. Fatigue of muscle of the trunk extensor plays a very important role in chronic Low Back Pain (LBP). Physiology behind this fatigue is complex and has not been fully understood. Use of Kinesio Taping supports mobility of damaged structures and at the same time influences the mechanism at which muscle erector muscles perform in relation to fatigue. Sham Taping test consists of measuring total amount ...

The sine is the ratio of the opposite leg of the right triangle to its hypotenuse. Let’s imagine that we have the Cartesian coordinate system and a circumference with the same center and radius R. Every angle can be depicted as a rotation operation from the positive x-axis to some interval that joins together the center of the Cartesian coordinate system and some point of the circumference. The length of this interval is equal to the radius and can be depicted as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The adjacent leg of the triangle belongs to the x-axis, ...

Introduction

Geometry is an important branch of mathematics. Its origin goes back thousands of years and is primarily associated with the development of crafts, culture, arts, work with human activities and the supervision of the world. This is evidenced by the names of geometric shapes. For example, the name of "trapezoid" figure comes from the Greek word "trapezion" – table (Gordh and Headrick).

Body

In the fifth century BC, there was a decisive turn in the development of geometry. This development is connected with the name of Thales, a native of the city of Miletus. Thales was a merchant who spared his ...

The 6-month infant presents to the clinic with splenomegaly and lipemic samples at birth . Screening of complete blood count at birth was ordered, but could not be conducted, owing to the lipemic nature of samples. Subsequently, the patient was referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, who examined the baby to be oversized with weight in 99th percentile, 81st percentile for height and 70th percentile for head circumference, and body mass index (BMI) in the 99th percentile. He exhibited multiple lipomas on one ear lobe, in the right eye, neck and abdomen. Abdominal examination presented a soft, nontender abdomen with splenomegaly ...

Introduction

Studies have shown that students who command healthier lifestyles (e.g. having a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activities) tend to outperform students who are malnourished and sedentary. The objective of this paper is to determine the nutrition and health levels of students in a preselected university in terms of various anthropometric measurements. The rationale behind the use of anthropometric measurements is the fact that they have served as some of the strongest indicators of health. The anthropometric measurements obtained in the study on a per student basis were height, weight, left demi span, right demi span, waist ...

Introduction

In this paper, we will describe and discuss the application of statistics and probability theory to a real world problem. Our goal is to develop a research question, collect the appropriate data, and examine it by applying various statistical techniques. The topic of our research is body fat percentage. Most people consider weight as the most important indicator in assessing the state of their figure. However, it is not always correct to determine the effectiveness of the diet or intensity of physical activity, focusing only on the body mass index. There is another measurement, which is much more important: ...

What is the impact of smoking on chest?

Smoking seriously deteriorates the respiratory and cardiovascular functions of the body, and it is continuously increasing in young people. Problems in respiratory function can be checked through the measurement of chest expansion, respiratory muscle strength, and lung volume. Studies have shown that smoking decreases pulmonary function, and can result in airway obstruction as well as small airway disease in adult people. Smoking can also result in resistance to airflow, irritation of the airway, and cough. Researchers have reported that chest wall expansion is greatly affected in smokers. Smokers have lowered chest circumference as compared to non-smokers at the ...

Head size and intelligence: A correlational study

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the relationship between head size and intelligence. A cross-sectional research design was used in the study. Twenty (20) respondents with ages from 12-18 years were purposively selected. Ages, head circumferences and IQ scores were obtained from each of the respondents. One way ANOVA revealed a no significant difference among the respondents in reference to their ages, head sizes and intelligence (p < 0.05). Regression analysis revealed a no significant relationship between the respondents’ head circumferences and IQ scores (R2 = 0.002). Thus, this study concluded that having large head size doesn’t account for one’s ...

Biography of Archimedes

Archimedes was born in 287 BC in Syracuse on the island of Sicily. His father Phidias, was astronomer and mathematician; He provided him education in sciences. Archimedes had his studies in Alexandria. Archimedes met the famous astronomer Conon, the astronomer and mathematician Eratosthenes, with whom he maintained in the future scientific correspondence. He worked in a library where he studied Democritus, Eudoxus and other scientists. Archimedes later published several works in mathematics. His work consists of providing the areas of figures bounded by the curves and volumes of bodies bounded by arbitrary planes. He is the one of the ...

Teratogens are genotoxins that can potentially disrupt the genetic makeup of developing cells, resulting in aberrations that can manifest disabling physical and mental abnormalities in a fetus. Teratogens can cross the placenta and reach the fetus, which quashes the popular belief that a fetus is shielded from external harmful influences. This indicates that the placenta is incapable of blocking teratogenic metabolites from reaching the fetus. Teratogenesis can be defined as birth defects or congenital malformations occurring in utero due to exposure to external factors. Such factors could be environmental, chemical or biological in nature. Factors such as the time of exposure, ...

Introduction Pi is a mathematical constant that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the length of its diameter. Denoted by the Greek letter π. First symbol of this number by the Greek letter π was taken by British mathematician Jones in 1706, and it became common after the works of Leonhard Euler in 1737.

This designation comes from the initial letters of the Greek words περιφέρεια - circle, peripherals and περίμετρος - perimeter.

History History of the number π ran parallel with the development of mathematics. Some authors divide the process into 3 periods: the ancient period during which π was studied from the standpoint of geometry, classical era, which ...

Introduction

At first glance one would think that Philippe Starck’s iconic juicer was a spider-inspired piece of artwork due to the three long legs that supports what seems to be a rocket ship-shaped body. Surprisingly, the designer actually thought of the similar inspiration. The juicer is now considered as an icon of contemporary industrial design; it even earned its place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. However, the juicer itself according to Starck was intended to be a conversation piece rather than a juicer. In 1989, Alessi originally approached the Italian designer to design a stainless steel tray, but after a trip to a ...

Question 1.

What is the effect on the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height is cut in half? What happens to the area, if the base is doubled and the height remains the same? Now let’s assume that we have a triangle with base a and height h. The area of this triangle would be S = ½*a*h. If the base is doubled and the height is cut in half, we will have new base = 2a and new height = h/2. Therefore, the new area would be S=½*2a*h/2 = ½*a*h. We may conclude that the area of ...

Abstract—In this experiment, a hand dynamometer was used to measure the grip strength of a subject. The forearm muscles were engaged in an activity, and the grip recorded. The electromyogram (EMG) activity was related to the grip strength by making a graph of the maximum grip strength against area under the EMG activity’s absolute integral during the contraction of muscle. Data was recorded from the dominant and non-dominant forearms of the subject and the electrical activity of each forearm compared to its diameter. Prolonged grip strength was also recordings and forearm EMG activity made to determine fatigue rate in both ...

The life of Pi is a story about a young boy named Piscine Molitor Patel who experiences immeasurable hardships while at sea. Patel is a zoo keeper’s son born in Pondicherry, India. When growing up Piscine was always teased about his name that he decided to shorten it so that he was known as Pi, just like π, the Mathematical symbol. At age sixteen, Pi survives on a life boat while at sea for 227 days after a shipwreck that makes him lose all his family members. The story therefore centers on Pi’s attempts at survival and explores the dehumanizing situation the young ...

Introduction

Nutritional status can be defined as the balance between the amount of nutrients taken in by a living organism and the amount of nutrients spent by these organisms in the process of growth, health maintenance. In order to analyze this aspect, we will take into consideration the following attributes; level of nutrients in the body, products of metabolism and the functional processes that they regulate. Nutritional status can be measured for both individuals and populations. For accurate measurements especially those used for clinical purposes, nutritional measurements are done for individuals whereas for research purposes, population measures are the most common. ...
