Scientific Background

Transcript: So what causes a sonic boom? There are multiple dimensions: 0,1,2,3,4 The 4th one specifies on time Space and time cannot exist without one another Special Relativity and it's affect on human perception the sun was created 4.6 billion years ago it surface temperature can reach up to 10000 degrees in Fahrenheit the core of the sun can reach up to 27 million degrees in fahrenheit the sun was created by a giant cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula S.S. "Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality". - Hermann Minkowski T.O. A plane moving at 885 km/hr north A car traveling at 55 miles per hour east. A human walking at 3 meters per second west. A.C J.S. Examples of velocity The Origins of the Scientific Method. The Scientific Method The Birth of the Sun and the Moon (continued) was discovered on October 14, 1947 became more in depth during the 1950s much curiosity of the sonic boom led to concerns in the military Special Relativity and it's effects Origin of the boom "Einstein's special theory of relativity (special relativity) is all about what's relative and what's absolute about time, space, and motion." (einstein-online.info) In simple terms, when a person were to go forward in time and return back, it would seem like no time passed due to the speed of which the person traveled at. T.O. the moon was formed when a small rock called a planetoid collided with the earth the gravity from earth pulled the rubble of the impact to form the moon gravity spun the rock at high speeds to form its spherical shape S.S. The Relation of Velocity and Humans Technological Advancement Scientific Background .No one can really be credited for creating this theory. It just grew onto us. .In 1214-1284 a man named Roger Bacon discovered the Scientific Method and since then we have been accomplishing more with this method being fully known now. K.D How the method is used today. K.D What is a sonic boom? . .The Scientific Method is a method used for experiments and research. The birth of the sun and the moon K.D The Fourth Dimension shock waves are created from air removed by force mainly created by a huge release of pressure the set of changing pressure makes the sonic boom able to hear The scientific method has 5 steps to solve it. .Observations, hypothesis,prediction, research, and conclusion. These are the five steps needed to use the Scientific Method. a sonic boom is defined as loud sound similar to thunder when an object traveling through the air is moving at a supersonic speed contains aerodynamic effects types of booms: N-waves and U- waves T.O. Velocity and it's importance Velocity is the speed of something in a given direction. Velocity is different from speed since speed only records the distance the objects covers divided by the time it took the object to cover that distance. Velocity is the same concept but with a specific direction A.C .This method has been used to help evolve humanity and discover many new things about us, our planet, and the universe. J.S.

Frankenstein's scientific background

Transcript: Dr Frankenstein uses an electrical storm to resurrect the dead. P. Shelley and Lord Byron Physicist, nephew of Galvani. He performed the electro-simulation technique of deceased limbs on the executed criminal George Forster. ideas of Davy Frankenstein's scientific background James Curry He was an italian physician, physicist and philosopher. He performed experiments at the University of Bologna involving electric charges and frogs. Chemistry and inventor. In 1816 Shelley read his 'Elements of Chemical Philosophy'. He wrote that "science gave man powers which have enabled him to change and modify the beings surrounding him". Giovanni Aldini galvanism Scientist, inventor, author and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. "...as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any inventions of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." Benjamin Franklin Physician, one of the Shelley's doctors. He wrote a book that gave information on how to identify what he called 'absolute' from 'apparent' death. Luigi Galvani Walton says that scientists "show how nature works in her hiding places" and that "they acquired new and almost limited powers" Humphry Davy

Scientific Revolution: Background

Transcript: Changes in Europe: Renaissance Changes in Europe: Ancient, Medieval and Modern Historians break down European time periods into three distinct eras: The Ancient Era, The Medieval Era and The Modern Era. The ancient Romans dominated most of Europe for around 1000 years. With the fall of Rome in 476AD came another thousand year period called the Medieval Era, also known as the Dark Ages or the Middle Ages. By about the 1400s however, huge changes began to occur in Europe. These changes rippled through all aspects of European life and culture. Everything from art, philosophy and religion to science, economics, and governments were forever changed. The Reformation (1500s) signaled even more monumental changes to Europeans and their beliefs. Most of Western Europe had connections to the Roman Catholic church, but reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin exposed flaws and corruption within Catholicism, and started new, Bible-centered ‘protestant’ denominations that spread all over the continent and around the world. The End The Age of Exploration (1500s) brought about more changes to Europe. Not only did European powers compete for control of their territories around the globe, but explorers like Ferdinand Magellan traveled around the Earth, and new products began to flow back and forth between continents. This exchange of goods and ideas between the Old World (Europe) and the New World (Americas) is called the Columbian Exchange. The Scientific Revolution (1500s) led to new ideas in the realm of astronomers, physicists, and anatomists who challenged accepted beliefs about the nature of the universe. Galileo proved the heliocentric theory of Copernicus, and Andrea's Vesalius had produced the most accurate illustrations to date of what was inside the human body. Isaac Newton discovered gravity, the nature of rainbows, light, and sound. Changes in Europe: Age of Exploration Changes in Europe: Reformation Changes in Europe: Scientific Revolution The Renaissance (1400s), for example, brought a rebirth of ancient Greek and Roman culture that seemed to have been lost for centuries. Just as the Greeks and Romans once did, Renaissance figures explored new forms of art, architecture, literature, and philosophies. This was a huge change from the dark ages, when most people were preoccupied with simply surviving, having enough food, or risking life in battle.

Presentation for scientific writing

Transcript: Three languages Conclusions Limited reliability of interpretative approach Reliability of the study — a consensus in interpretations We strive to get the research credible: collect as many responses and ideas filter the result to remove invalid responses Similar results can be got by other researchers Therefore, validity can be tested Reality is changing over time most of the people are aware of the basic recommendations do not follow them perfectly. Password management software advised by only small part of people. (it is not a solution) The problem is within developers side We suggest to improve the algorithms Correct horse battery staple Problem -Analyze method: Interpretive philosophical perspective, context based method Goals -Prove that people have problems in using passwords and fail (or not fail) to use them properly. People constantly fail to follow security recommendations in order to simplify the access. People invent their own tricks to design and store passwords. How do people balance security and usability when using passwords? Purpose To collect as many responses as possible Ideas from all over the world would be taken into consider Easy one Time & Location Hermeneutics Background Complex One -Draw users and designers' attentions to improve passwords -Introduce some creative methods to users 13 days 170 responses, 164 of them are valid Hypothesis Angie and Jun Wu -find a set of common behavior models of password designing, storing and retrieving. Question?s Post on SNS networks: Facebook.com, Renren.com and Kahtakte.com Method Discussion Totally anonymous! You can skip those questions which you don't want to answer. We won't let you input you real passwords. Future work Measure the potential of graphic passwords and alternative authentication methods. -Data collection : Questionnaire Reason 1: Totally anonymous Reason 2: Without the limit of location Reason 3: Accessing Password Database has privacy problem. Reason 4: hash function Ethical consideration -explosive growth of technology -security and privacy becomes more important -password is still the most common authentication method Results How do people balance security and usability when using passwords
