This "patterning" maybe envisaged or conceptualized as patterns of strategic geometry. ... Some strategic configurations change, others remain the same, while new patterns of strategic geometry appear, as the old forms dissolve--the explanations behind the shifting pattern of strategic geometry is what enables us to understand the transition from the Cold War era to the post Cold War. ... Let us begin with a simpler model of strategic geometry which existed in Europe during the Cold War. ... One may just turn towards one actor in the system, or one player in the Strategic Quadrangle, to se...

The magnitude of the deformation for a constant force depends on the geometry of the materials. Likewise, the magnitude of the force required to cause a given deformation, depends on the geometry of the material. ... While the relationship between the force and deformation depends on the geometry of the material, the relationship between the stress and strain is geometry independent. ...

The content area for this plan is geometry, and will include components of measurement and fractions. Geometry is one of the five content areas outlined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. A relational understanding of geometry incorporates aspects of measurement for determining properties such as area, volume, perimeter, etc. ... The area of geometry is special because it is a very hands-on, manipulative subject, especially in elementary school. ...

Baroque architecture can include "dynamic proportions" (like that of Bromini) and also seems to have some elements of fractal geometry too. ... The concept of geometry encompasses much more than the science we know today, one that included geometrics (number and shape games), as well as the art of geomancy, or magic and prophecy using shapes and numbers. ...

Some of the important features of the fiber optics that we are interested are discussed below. Now a days we are using copper wires as they are the most cost effective and reliable interconnect in parallel machines. However as machines grow more powerful, wire density becomes critical making fiber possible alternatives because of their small wire size. Fiber optics are used mainly to use effectively its high bandwidth. On a single fiber lots of information/data can be transmitted concurrently and in parallel. ...

Descartes argues that "we might conclude reasonably from these considerations" that those things that "involve an examination of composite things" are doubtful, but that others that "discuss only very simple and general things, and are not concerned whether or not they exist in nature", such as geometry and arithmetic, are beyond doubt. ...

The Civilization of Ancient Egypt The Ancient Egyptian civilization formed along the Nile river and the earliest traces of human life in that region were from the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) circa 300,000 BC, at the very edges of the Nile Valley. Beyond the Nile River Valley, on both sides of the river the land was an endless stretch of desert. At that time the River Valley inhabitants were Nomadic and were also Hunter/Gatherers, but they never strayed far from their lifeline, the Nile. Because Egypt was located In the Nile River Valley., the Ancient Egyptians used the fertile land an...

Sex differences in education are a type of sex discrimination in the education system affecting both men and women during and after their educational experiences. There was an extreme gender gap in education, where women didn't even have the pleasure of going to school. Women took the role of housework: cooking, cleaning, and sewing; marrying a husband; and taking car of the children: making sure they're well fed, cherished, and nurtured. If women were any bit of educated, they would be educated through homeschooling and their teacher would most likely be a male. Also, mostly wealthy...
