  Cuando se ven amenazados, los soldados reaccionan de diversas maneras según las especies. Unos atacan a sus adversarios con susgrandes mandíbulas; otros, como las hormigas rojas, se apoyan sobre sus patas traseras, doblan su abdomen y proyectan sobre losintrusos un veneno ácido (el ácido fórmico). Hay hormigas que no permanecen toda la vida en el hormiguero, sino que se desplazan de un sitio a otro. Los soldados se encargan deproteger al resto de las hormigas durante los desplazamientos.

  South of the Federal Triangle is the Mall, a narrow park stretching roughly 1.6 km (1 mi) from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. Although the Mall officially ends at14th Street, landscaped greenery extends to the Potomac. The Washington Monument, whose marble shaft dominates the skyline, stands 169 m (555 ft) high near thecenter of this parkland. The interior of the monument is hollow, and visitors may either climb its 898 steps or ride its elevator 150 m (500 ft) for a magnificent view. A...

• Warren G.

  In his few campaign speeches, Harding relied mainly on the political effectiveness of bland generalities. Sometimes his statements were deliberately confusing. Forexample, he promised internationally minded voters that he would support an “association of nations,” while at the same time he promised “America first!” toisolationists. In this way he won the support of influential Republicans who believed in the League of Nations as well as those who opposed it. Harding's inoffensive standon the lea...

• Scramble for Africa.

  additional territorial grabs. The most significant of these rules stated that colonial powers were obligated to notify each other when they claimed African territory.Further, subsequent “effective occupation” of the claimed area was necessary for the claim to remain valid. Through it all, as Europeans negotiated their rights toAfrican territory, not a single African was present. Once the conference was over, it was clear that a European Scramble for African territories was underway. Southern Afr...

• Antarctica - Geography.

  The maximum area of sea ice surrounding Antarctica each winter varies from year to year. A marked decline during the 1970s appears to have reversed in more recentdecades, except in the Antarctic Peninsula area. This area has lost almost 40 percent of its sea ice since the start of the 1980s. Sea ice is important to marine life. Krillfeed on algae that live under the sea ice and are released when the ice melts in spring and summer. In turn, many marine animals feed on krill. Emperor penguinsbreed...

• Peut-on penser ce qu'on ne pourra jamais dire ?

  Hegel explique que pensées et mots sont étroitement associés. D'ailleurs ilexplique que nous n'avons connaissance de nos pensées que lorsqu'elles sontextériorisées. Quand nous les exprimons et qu'une fois ‘devant nous', nouspuissions bien les considérer. Ici le ‘penser' dépend donc absolument du ‘dire'(acte de parler). Mais pourtant il semble que la pensée soit autonome : nepeut-elle pas être inexprimable ? En effet, il y a des cas où l'on ne parvientpas exprimer nos idées. D'ailleurs ce qu...

• « Peut-on se connaître soi-même?

  l'homme ne vivant et n'éprouvant la réalité qu'à partir de ses sensations, on peut dire que ces dernières constituent le fondement de la connaissance. On ne peut avoir l'idée d'une chose simplement parce qu'on en a connu un équivalent à travers nos sens. Dans cette optique, on peut dire que l'homme peut se connaître soi-même car la connaissance du monde, qui inclus la connaissance de soi, est le fruit de notre expérience sensible, qui nous est propre. Connaissance de soi et connaissance d...

• Philosophie : Le sujet est-il conscient de lui-même ?

  =l en vient alors à n’avoir qu’une certitude : la seule chose indubitable est qu’il doute car précisément, s’il n’était pas certain qu’il doute, alors cela constituerait une mise en abyme du fait qu’il doute. De plus, le doute est irrémédiablement lié à une activité de pensée. C’est en effet une réflexion. Dans ce cas, il est certain de penser, sans quoi il ne douterait pas. Et par ailleurs, le simple fait d’avoir cette activité pensante indique qu’il est le siège de cette activit...

• Planetary Science - astronomy.

  III ORIGINS AND COMPOSITIONS OF PLANETS Astronomers believe that planetary systems are formed of elemental materials that were created in the interiors of giant stars. Some of this material comes from giantstars that shed material into space as they age. Most of the matter to form planets, however, comes from stars that explode as supernovas and spread debris enrichedwith the heavier chemical elements into space. According to the currently accepted views, the most likely first stage in the evo...

• Slavery in Africa.

  The spread of Islam from Arabia into Africa after the religion’s founding in the 7th century AD affected the practice of slavery and slave trading in West, Central, and East Africa. Arabs had practiced slave raiding and trading in Arabia for centuries prior to the founding of Islam, and slavery became a component of Islamic traditions.Both the Qur'an (Koran) (the sacred scripture of Islam) and Islamic religious law served to codify and justify the existence of slavery. As Muslim Arabs conquered...

For example, the set of dark lines made by hydrogen includes a dark red line, the set of dark lines made by sodium includes a pairof dark yellow lines, and the set of dark lines made by iron includes lines of nearly every color. Each element in the gaseous outer layer of a star produces its ownparticular pattern of dark spectrum lines, depending on the temperature and pressure of the gas. Astronomers have observed spectrum lines, or spectra, for hundredsof...

• Earthquake.

  III CAUSES Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden slip along geologic faults. The faults slip because of movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates. This concept is called theelastic rebound theory. The rocky tectonic plates move very slowly, floating on top of a weaker rocky layer. As the plates collide with each other or slide past eachother, pressure builds up within the rocky crust. Earthquakes occur when pressure within the crust increases slowly over hundreds of years and finally exceeds...

It possesses some of the world’s largest deposits of iron ore and containsrich deposits of many other minerals, including gold and copper. Brazil’s fossil fuel resources are modest, but this limitation is offset by the considerable hydroelectricpotential of the nation’s many rivers. Although Brazil is an important producer of tropical crops, areas of highly fertile land are limited...

  South America is dominated by relatively warm climatic regimes.

• Modernizacao teatro europeu

  2 Na França, o escritor naturalista Émile Zola começou a luta pela renovação dramatúrgica já na década de 1870, fazendo a crítica da artificialidade da “peça benfeita”. Ele queria que o teatro mostrasse a vida como ela é. Com sua brutalidade, com assuntos polêmicos, com personagens que fossem copiadas da vida real e que assim se mostrassem em cena. Sua prática teatral, porém, ficou aquém do pensamento. Suas ideias frutificaram na década seguinte, segundo Eric Bentley, “quando Henry Bec...

• Diriez-vous que le genre poétique a pour unique fonction d’être le reflet de l’intériorité du poète ?

  La poésie est un genre littéraire très ancien. En grec, le mot poésie vient du verbe « poiein » qui signifie « produire » et « créer ». Le poète joue, à travers son poème, avec le sens des mots, la rythmique, les musicalités, ainsi que les sonorités. Il s’approprie un pouvoir d’invention et de création verbale en tirant parti de toutes les ressources de la langue. En règle générale, nous pouvons dès lors approuver le fait que la poésie soit un art du langage, qui en prospecte toutes les ri...
