Skillful means is a historically famous way of spreading the Buddha’s teachings. The goal of skillful means is to help lead others into enlightenment. However, some examples of skillful means may seem unintuitive or contradictory. For instance, Vimalakirti’s lecturing seems to shame his fellow disciples rather than help them achieve enlightenment. On the other hand, the Lotus Sutra presents opposing ideas about skillful means such as the existence of lesser teachings despite having only one true…
Discussion Overall, the method created for the determination of riboflavin via fluorescence has potential to provide useful information regarding the starting concentration of riboflavin as well as the consumption rate of the vitamin in media, when analyzed at different activation times. The decrease in riboflavin over time makes sense as the bacteria and archaea in the media use the vitamin as a cofactor in the digestion of cellulose as well as with other sugars and fats. (2) The The LOD and…
Usability testing is a process used in evaluating how comfortable a service or product can be in achieving its targeted goal. Poor user experience can discourage users, studies show that more than 80% of online customers might not return to a site having experienced poor usability.1 A fantastic user experience can provide a competitive advantage because it increases user satisfaction by reducing the amount of time it takes for users to accomplish their goal on the website which in turn makes…
Introduction Desulphurization of steel at ladle treatment of metal is one of the important technological operations. The successful course of the desulfurization process is provided by fire refining slag with specific chemical composition, usually based on calcium oxide. The duration of mixing of the metal with the slag in inert gas, the early formation of refining slag, then optimization of the metal oxidation providing the formation of iron oxide FeO in the slag to be less than 0.5 % able…
ST, high school teacher replied, “In my opinion, it seems like parent involvement here at our school seems to be when things aren’t going well with their student, and then that’s when the parents want to be involved.” LS, middle school teacher replied, “I would have to agree with ST and that we need to have more positive parent communication versus negative communication.” Focus group members perceive that parents aren’t informed or involved until something goes wrong…
author of his article, Savings and Loan Crisis, “In the 1980s, the financial sector suffered through a period of distress that was focused on the nation’s savings and loan industry.” As the inflation and interest rates rose in the late 1970s, many S&Ls began to experience huge losses. Even though the rates they paid to attract deposits rose, the amount earned on…
bit pure American muscle. Two engines were available in Chevelle's1970 super sport package. The SS396 was powered by a 396 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8 putting out 350 horsepower. The SS454 was a powerhouse with its LS-6 454 cubic inch V8 motor delivering a whopping 450 horsepower. The LS-6 was the most powerful production engine of 1970. It was reported having a quarter mile time of 13.12 seconds with top speed of 108 mph. The SS396 was fitted with a Rochester Quadrajet 4 bbl carburetor. The…
The evidence in file shows the claimant has a history of chronic lumbar pain. She is mildly obese with a body mass index as high as 33. X-rays of the lumbar spine (LS) taken 7/9/13 show multilevel degenerative changes with spurring and mild anterolisthesis of L4-L5. Degenerative joint disease in the left hip was also noted. The LS MRI taken 3/25/16 shows multilevel degenerative changes. The physical exam on 10/14/16 indicated the claimant’s spinal exam was essentially normal, although an…
ability to see herself as a continuing creature as a being which has a past and will have a future. Let us grant for a moment that humans are rational and animals aren't; that humans have a sense of themselves as contin ually exis ting bein gs and anima ls don't. Wh y shou ld that make any difference? Or more precisely, why should it make as much a difference as it does? Does th e fact that w e are ra tional legitimate our using non-rational animals just anyway we please? It seem s not. It…
Suppose ∥u − uh∥ Ls(Ω) ≤ Chp+1+; ≥ 0. Applying this to inequality (40) deduces the result. Other assertions follow in a similar way. Note that all D i need to be bounded for convergence as a consequence of this theorem. Theorem 3.2. Suppose that u ∈ Cp+1(Ω); s = 1; 2;∞;Ω ⊂ R2 and that uh ∈ Wh on a quasi-uniform family {Qh} of meshes on Ω into quadrilaterals. Then a necessary condition for ∥u − uh∥ Ls(Ω) = O(hp+1) is for uh to be Wp+1 s smooth. In particular…
