Both the propulsion technique of the manual wheelchair user and the wheelchair design and setup have major effects on the biomechanics of the user-wheelchair system. Despite major improvements in technology, propulsion technique is still not very well understood. It can stated, however, that three basic qualities of the user-wheelchair system determine the performance: the user, who produces the energy for propulsion, the vehicle mechanics of the wheelchair, which determine power requirements to…

mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet today, almost…

Isaac Newton was born on January 4 1643. He was born in Woolsthorpe England Christianson 8). He was the only son of a wealthy local farmer Christianson 8). His father’s name was also Isaac Newton who died three months before Isaac Newton was born Christianson 9). Newton was a premature baby and was tiny and weak and not expected to survive Christianson 11). When Newton was three years old his mother Hannah Ayscough Newton left and remarried to a minister named Barnabas Smith Christianson 17).…

Naturalism and Science in London The Naturalistic viewpoint of how the forces of nature influence human life are expressed in the writings of naturalists, with the idea of scientific theory as an influence in the themes of their works. The writers of this time utilized ideas such as theory of evolution established by Charles Darwin, to describe how each individual species possesses attributes that make it unique. The instinctual agents which are inherited traits allow for animals to survive in…

was also a great mathematician with his mathematical formula that illustrates how to get the volume of a sphere, and he was an amazing inventor too as he had numerous of inventions that we still use today. Archimedes contributions to the topic of physics are endless but, one of his important accomplishments is his Law of the Lever. When talking about levers you have to mention the three parts you need to be able to effectively use a lever. The first part is the two separate objects that can…

Math is all around, weather you notice it or not. Doctors use math on the daily to prescribe medicine that patients might need, check vitals, and see how hurt a patient may be. Math is very important and is needed in order for doctors to do their job. First off, doctors use math everyday to prescribe medicine to patients. In “ Medicine and math” Natasha Glydon states “Doctors need to figure out how many milligrams of medicine each patient will need, depending on their weight.” Doctors must use…

Stephen Hawking once said, “My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.” Stephen Hawking is one of the smartest humans in the world and also has ALS. ALS is a debilitating disease that has no known cure, but Hawking doesn’t let that stop him. Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime also has somewhat of a…

RESEARCH TASK AND WRITTEN REPORT Many theoretical and experimental problems were not solved in the early twentieth century. There were attempts to explain the behaviour of matter on the atomic level with the laws of classical physics however they were not accurate nor successful. It was not until the period between 1900 and 1930 where a revolution occurred and a generalised formulation called quantum mechanic was developed. And since the understanding of the structure of the nucleus of the atoms…

In this paper, I will explain the event of a dog, Leo, hearing the sound of my pouring his dog-food into his food-bowl. I will explain this in an Aristotelian fashion using Aristotle's framework of explanatory schemata - the four causes - and by citing evidence from his theories of (a) hearing from De Anima II.8, (b) perception from De Anima II.12, and (c) potentiality and actuality from De Anima II.5. I will begin with an analysis of the event of Leo's hearing the pouring of the dog-food, and…

Sir Isaac Newton The famous scientist I chose is Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for his work on universal gravitation. He also developed the three laws of motion. I wanted to know more about Newton because the only thing I knew was that an apple fell on his head and he started thinking about gravitation so that’s why I chose him. Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, United Kingdom. He is an English physicist and mathematician. He is maybe the most famous scientist in history. His father died…
