Behaviorism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) - 0 views

  • Loosely speaking, behaviorism is an attitude. Strictly speaking, behaviorism is a doctrine
  • claims that psychology should concern itself with the behavior of organisms
  • Methodological behaviorism is a normative theory about the scientific conduct of psychology
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • purports to explain human and animal behavior in terms of external physical stimuli, responses, learning histories, and (for certain types of behavior) reinforcements
  • Psychological behaviorism is a research program within psychology.
  • Analytical or logical behaviorism is a theory within philosophy about the meaning or semantics of mental terms or concepts
  • says that the very idea of a mental state or condition is the idea of a behavioral disposition or family of behavioral tendencies.
  • Psychology is the science of behavior. Psychology is not the science of mind. Behavior can be described and explained without making reference to mental events or to internal psychological processes. The sources of behavior are external (in the environment), not internal (in the mind). In the course of theory development in psychology, if, somehow, mental terms or concepts are deployed in describing or explaining behavior, then either (a) these terms or concepts should be eliminated and replaced by behavioral terms or (b) they can and should be translated or paraphrased into behavioral concepts.

The Music Industry's Last Stand Will Be A Music Tax - 0 views

The Dubious Art Of Torture - 0 views

  • Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Vargas Habacuc. I am 50 years old and an artist. Recently, I have been criticized for my work titled "Eres lo que lees", which features a dog named Nativity. The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought. Now, if you publicly display one of these starving creatures, such as the case with Nativity, it creates a backlash that brings out a big of hypocrisy in all of us. Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway.

      very good web site
  • Eventhough parachutes seem to have been used in China since the 1100s and that Leonardo da Vinci of Italy had invented devices similar to parachutes nowadays, worldwide skydivers state that the French inventor André-Jacques Garnerin is the one to make the first parachute. In 1797 he jumped from a balloon over Paris using a parachute and kept on making other jumps in France and also in England.
  • In World War I , that is between 1914 and 1918, the military began using parachutes in their missions
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Barnstormers, who were in fact aerial showmen, fired the imagination of aviators and skydivers after World War I. The barnstormers showed airborne performances and parachute jumps and travelled every year throughout the United States. Competitions began as a result of the increase of parachuting awareness. The first contest of accuracy landing was held in 1930 in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
  • The military used paratroopers in World War II , that is between 1939 and 1945. The paratroopers were parachute-equipped soldiers and had the most famous use on D-Day, the invasion of Normandy (Normandie), France, on June 6, 1944
  • The surplus of nylon parachute equipment after World War II and the fact that the U.S. Army had started the first military sport parachuting clubs, set the grounds of skydiving in the United Dtates, as a pleasant and relaxing activity. The same thing happened in many other countries, and thus , the first parachuting world championships were organized in 1951 in Yugoslavia.
  • Little by little, in the mid 1960, systems specially made for sport parachutes took the place of the military surplus systems. Parachutists started to call this activity skydiving and calling themselves skydivers. In order to improve the opening characteristics and to make them more maneuverable, there were a few sport modifications to military parachutes. A French Canadian kite builder, Domina Jalbert, developed in 1964 the the ram-air design, that has set the tendencies for parachutes in skydiving from then on.
  • Sport skydivers constantly tested new and revolutionary designs and materials. Apart from sport uses , there have also been designed sport-generated designs like military HAHO (high altitude, high opening) designs, smoke jumping designs and many types of equipment for two-person and four-person tandem jumping. The military HAHO designs allowed soldiers to silently fly over large areas. The smoke jumping designs aimed to put firefighters into remote forest fires from low altitude.
  • Skydiving has kept on becoming more and more popular after the late 1980s, and this is because the equipment, that is reliable, lightweight, and easy-to-operate, picture this sport as accesible to many people. The U.S. president George H. W. Bush also jumped , thus increasing the popularity of skydiving.

The Energy Story - Chapter 15: Solar Energy - 0 views

  • Solar energy can also be used to make electricity.
  • solar power plants, like the one in the picture to the right in California's Mojave Desert, use a highly curved mirror called a parabolic trough to focus the sunlight on a pipe running down a central point above the curve of the mirror.
  • mirror focuses the sunlight to strike the pipe

  • gets so hot that it can boil water into steam
  • team can then be used to turn a turbine to make electricity.
  • California's Mojave desert, there are huge rows of solar mirrors arranged in what's called "solar thermal power plants"
  • this idea to make electricity for more than 350,000 homes
  • problem with solar energy is that it works only when the sun is shining
  • cloudy days and at night, the power plants can't create energy.
  • solar plants, are a "hybrid" technology
  • daytime they use the sun
  • night and on cloudy days they burn natural gas to boil the water so they can continue to make electricity.
  • form of solar power plants to make electricity is called a Central Tower Power Plant, like the one to the right - the Solar Two Project.
  • Sunlight is reflected off 1,800 mirrors circling the tall tower
  • mirrors are called heliostats
  • move and turn to face the sun all day long
  • light is reflected back to the top of the tower in the center of the circle where a fluid is turned very hot by the sun's rays.
  • luid can be used to boil water
  • make steam to turn a turbine and a generator.
  • We can also change the sunlight directly to electricity using solar cells.
  • Solar cells are also called photovoltaic cells
  • PV cells for short
  • be found on many small appliances
  • calculators
  • even on spacecraft
  • first developed in the 1950s for use on U.S. space satellites
  • made of silicon, a special type of melted sand.
  • sunlight strikes the solar cell, electrons (red circles) are knocked loose
  • move toward the treated front surface (dark blue color)
  • electron imbalance is created between the front and back
  • two surfaces are joined by a connector, like a wire, a current of electricity occurs between the negative and positive sides.
  • individual solar cells are arranged together in a PV module and the modules are grouped together in an array.
  • arrays are set on special tracking devices to follow sunlight all day long.
  • electrical energy from solar cells can then be used directly
  • used in a home for lights and appliances
  • in a business
  • Solar energy can be stored in batteries to light a roadside billboard at night
  • energy can be stored in a battery for an emergency roadside cellular telephone when no telephone wires are around.
