• Perception (psychology).

  A4 Closure According to the law of closure, we prefer complete forms to incomplete forms. Thus, in the drawing below, we mentally close the gaps and perceive a picture of a duck. This tendency allows us to perceive whole objects from incomplete and imperfect forms. A5 Common Fate The law of common fate leads us to group together objects that move in the same direction. In the following illustration, imagine that three of the balls are moving in one direction, and two of the balls are mo...

• Light - astronomy.

  Each different frequency or wavelength of visible light causes our eye to see a slightly different color. The longest wavelength we can see is deep red at about 700 nm.The shortest wavelength humans can detect is deep blue or violet at about 400 nm. Most light sources do not radiate monochromatic light. What we call white light,such as light from the Sun, is a mixture of all the colors in the visible spectrum, with some represented more strongly than others. Human eyes respond best to greenlight...

• Light I INTRODUCTION Light, form of energy visible to the human eye that is radiated by moving charged particles.

  simulates the action of a moving charge upon the electric field. It creates a wave that travels along the rope in a direction that is perpendicular to the initial up anddown movement. Because electromagnetic waves are transverse—that is, the vibration that creates them is perpendicular to the direction in which they travel, they are similar to waveson a rope or waves traveling on the surface of water. Unlike these waves, however, which require a rope or water, light does not need a medium, or su...

• From The Hunchback of Notre Dame - anthology.

  If then we were to attempt to penetrate through this thick and obdurate bark to the soul of Quasimodo; if we could sound the depths of this bungling piece oforganization; if we were enabled to hold a torch behind these untransparent organs, to explore the gloomy interior of this opaque being, to illumine its obscure cornersand its unmeaning cul-de-sacs, and to throw all at once a brilliant light upon the spirit enchained at the bottom of this den; we should doubtless find the wretch in some mi...

• Jupiter (planet) - astronomy.

  Beneath the supercritical fluid zone, the pressure reaches 3 million Earth atmospheres. At this depth, the atoms collide so frequently and violently that the hydrogenatoms are ionized—that is, the negatively charged electrons are stripped away from the positively charged protons of the hydrogen nuclei. This ionization results in asea of electrically charged particles that resembles a liquid metal and gives rise to Jupiter’s magnetic field. This liquid metallic hydrogen zone is 30,000 to 40,000 k...

• Puppets I INTRODUCTION Punch and Judy Punch and Judy are characters in an English hand puppet show that first appeared in 1662.

  Rod puppets are controlled by rods attached to their limbs, heads, and bodies. Although the traditional rod puppets of Belgium and Sicily are worked from above, likemarionettes, most contemporary rod figures are operated from below. In theaters, rod puppeteers are frequently concealed from view by drapery or stage flats (fabric stretched across frames). On television and in films, rod and hand puppeteers usually hold their figures either above their heads or in front of their faces. In the lat...

• Commentaire de texte sur George Burdeau sur la IIIe et IVe République

  encore plus dans un régime d'Assemblée. Rappelons d'abord que le gouvernement n'est responsable que devant l'Assemblée nationale, et en aucun cas devant lePrésident de la République ou le Conseil de la République. La motion de censure doit être voté a la majorité absolue, ce qui signifie que plus grand nombre deparlementaires qui s'abstiennent, moins le gouvernement court le risque d'être renversé. Par ailleurs, cette règle de la majorité absolue permet à un gouvernementminoritaire de rester au...

• Musical I INTRODUCTION George Gershwin American pianist, songwriter, and composer George Gershwin was one of the most important figures in popular song in the 1920s and 1930s.

  C Extravaganzas Another predecessor of musical comedy, the extravaganza, evolved soon after the American Civil War (1861-1865) from traditional English pantomime. Extravaganzaswere typically based on fairy tales and Mother Goose. They introduced some of the elements—songs, dances, and comedy combined with spectacular stage sets andeffects—that American musical comedy later became known for. The first and most famous extravaganza show was The Black Crook (1866), often described as America’s fi...

• Computer Animation.

  parametric key-frame animation, interpolates, or blends, the in-between images. Another technique, algorithmic animation, controls motion by applying rules thatgovern how the objects move. When the objects and their behaviors have been specified, each scene is rendered frame-by-frame by the virtual camera and stored;then the final animated feature is played back. Despite the power of today's computers, and the innovations used to accelerate traditional animation processes, modern computer animat...

  line or rotates in any direction. Each canal also contains sensory areas with sensory hair cells that project into a cone-shaped cap of gelatin. Two of the semicircularcanals are in a vertical position and are used to detect vertical movement, such as jumping or falling. The third canal is horizontal and detects horizontal movement,such as turning or spinning. The action of the canals depends on the inertia of the fluid inside. When the motion of the body changes, the fluid lags behind, causing...

• Quantum Theory I INTRODUCTION Quantum Theory, in physics, description of the particles that make up matter and how they interact with each other and with energy.

  electron in the same way a particle with momentum would: It bumps the electron and changes the electron’s path. The light is also affected by the collision as though itwere a particle, in that its energy and momentum changes. Momentum is a quantity that can be defined for all particles. For light particles, or photons, momentum depends on the frequency, or color, of the photon, which in turndepends on the photon’s energy. The energy of a photon is equal to a constant number, called Planck’s cons...

• Dans quelle mesure la IVème république peut-elle être considérée comme un régime instable ?

  En effet, cette pratique est facteur d’instabilité gouvernementale car il est possible que même si le Président du conseil est investi à la majorité absolue etnommé, son gouvernement soit rejeté entrainant sa démission et une crise ministérielle. De plus, si le gouvernement est investi, il ne l’est qu’à la majoritésimple ce qui ne lui assure qu’une majorité de soutien relativement fragile. Cette évolution fut prise en compte par le constituant qui opéra en 1954 un retour ala IIIème République en...

• Pouvoirs de l'inconscient de S. FREUD

  Tout cela invitait à entreprendre, à partir de là, l'analyse de la création littéraire et artistique en général. On s'aperçut que le royaume de l'imagination était une «réserve» qui avait été ména­ gée lors du passage, ressenti comme douloureux, du principe de plaisir au principe de réalité, afin de fournir un substitut à des satisfactions pulsionnelles auxquelles on avait dû renoncer dans la vie réelle. A l'instar du névrosé, l'a...

• La Cohabitation Entre Le Président Et Le Congrès Aux Etats-Unis

  Enfin, d’autres messages peuvent être transmis par le président notamment par l’intermédiaire d’un rapport économique adressé tousles semestres au Congrès et à travers lequel le président peut recommander de prendre des mesures adéquates à une anomalie. Ces moyens du président sont complétés par une autre façon d’exercer son pouvoir de législateur qui est, sans contredit, le pouvoir d’apposer son veto à toute la législation passée par le Congrès. 2- Le droit de veto...

• Art Deco I INTRODUCTION Art Deco Historic District The Art Deco Historic District is located at the southern end of Miami Beach, Florida.

  At the 1925 exposition several French masters unveiled work that created an international stir. Elegant inlaid wood furniture by Jacques Émile Ruhlmann, functionallacquerwork by Jean Dunand, silver jewelry by Jean Puiforcat, and glass vases by Lalique were hailed for their modernity and original lines. Ruhlmann designed a seriesof rooms for the exposition that had a far-reaching effect on American and European taste. Lalique later created a similarly streamlined decorative scheme for theluxuriou...

• Galaxy - astronomy.

  Astronomers have obtained images of young galaxies using the Keck Telescope in Hawaii and the Hubble Space Telescope, which resides in an orbit high above Earth’satmosphere and thus avoids atmospheric interference. Photos from the HST show galaxies that are as far as 13 billion light-years away from Earth, which means theyformed soon after the universe formed about 13.7 billion years ago. The galaxies appear to be spherical in shape, and may be early precursors of elliptical and spiralgalaxies....

• Albert Einstein I INTRODUCTION Albert Einstein (1879-1955), German-born American physicist and Nobel laureate, best known as the creator of the special and general theories of relativity and for his bold hypothesis concerning the particle nature of light.

  On the basis of the general theory of relativity, Einstein accounted for the previously unexplained variations in the orbital motion of the planets and predicted thebending of starlight in the vicinity of a massive body such as the sun. The confirmation of this latter phenomenon during an eclipse of the sun in 1919 became a mediaevent, and Einstein’s fame spread worldwide. For the rest of his life Einstein devoted considerable time to generalizing his theory even more. His last effort, the unifi...

• Venus (planet) - astronomy.

  level winds circle the planet at 360 km/h (225 mph), making a complete rotation in only four days. These winds are said to super-rotate because they travel muchfaster than the rotation of the planet itself. These high-speed winds cover the planet completely, blowing toward the west at virtually every latitude from equator topole. The motions of descending probes, however, have shown that the bulk of Venus’s tremendously dense atmosphere, closer to the planet’s surface, is almoststagnant. From th...

• Country Music I INTRODUCTION Willie Nelson Country singer and musician Willie Nelson gained national popularity during the 1970s for a string of country hits, including the 1978 hits "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "Georgia On My Mind.

  Singer and mandolin player Bill Monroe is known as the father of bluegrass music. A virtuoso mandolin player, Monroe combined traditional folk ballads and gospel songswith string-band music played at very fast tempos. Monroe, with his band The Blue Grass Boys, performed from the mid-1920s until Monroe’s death in 1996. Otherwell-known bluegrass performers include banjo player Earl Scruggs, who played with Monroe during the 1940s; the Osborne Brothers, a duo from Kentucky known forits work during...

• « La fonction du parlement serait aujourd'hui réduite au contrôle de l'activité législative du gouvernement » Philippe Seguin.

  L’apparition du Gouvernement en tant que législateur tient surtout aux prérogatives que celui-ci détient par le biais de la Constitution de 1958. La première prérogative qui affirme que le Gouvernement prend la place de législateur est la maîtrise de la procédure législative. En effet, l’initiative des lois appartient aux membres du Parlement, ainsi on parlera des propositions et au Premier ministre, dans ce cas on parlera de projets (article 39 de la Constitution). À première vue, no...

Et vice versa, le parlement (législatif) possède également un pouvoir de nuisance envers le gouvernement (exécutif). Il peut prononcer une motion de censure envers le gouvernement ou bien refuser une question de confiance posée par ce dernier. Dans ces deux cas, et toujours après une annonce officielle de la Reine, le gouvernement est dissout. On dit donc que le gouvernement est responsable envers le parl...

• Atom - chemistry.

  Atoms have several properties that help distinguish one type of atom from another and determine how atoms change under certain conditions. A Atomic Number Each element has a unique number of protons in its atoms. This number is called the atomic number (abbreviated Z). Because atoms are normally electrically neutral,the atomic number also specifies how many electrons an atom will have. The number of electrons, in turn, determines many of the chemical and physical properties ofthe atom. The ligh...

  The gaseous atmosphere of Neptune contains hydrogen, helium, and about 3 percent methane. It extends about 5,000 km (about 3,000 mi) above the planet’s ocean.Light reflected from Neptune’s deep atmosphere is blue, because the atmospheric methane absorbs red and orange light but scatters blue light. In 1998 astronomersalso identified molecules of methyl in Neptune’s atmosphere. Methyl molecules each contain one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms. Methyl molecules are knownas hydrocarbon radical...
