The Politics behind Science

Compare

If you plan on a career in research after graduation, it’s easy to forget that to do research you actually need funding. For public universities, the majority of the funding comes directly from the government or international agencies. It is nearly impossible for laboratories to survive on private donations, and even small cuts in government and international funding can be very damaging to scientific progress.

Charles Dickens

Compare

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and spent much of his early life living in great hardship. His father was sent to prison because he owed money and young Dickens had to do a job he hated to support his family. Even when his father got out of prison, he was not allowed to leave the job – something he never forgave his mother for.

Grameen

Compare

Grameen Bank is the only business to receive a Nobel Prize. That was in 2006 when the bank and its founder, Professor Muhammad Yunus, shared the award for Peace. The question is why a bank would get a prize for peace when most other winners have stopped wars. And why should that bank be Bangladeshi? After all, no other Bangladeshi has ever won a Nobel Prize in any area.

Chapter 1.1: Rectilinear motion & Rotational motion (Mechanics)

Compare

Rectilinear motion: Linear motion (also called rectilinear motion) is a motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension. The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration and non-uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration. This type of motion describes the movement of a particle or a body. A body is said to experience rectilinear motion if any two particles of the body travel the same distance along two parallel straight lines. The figures below illustrate rectilinear motion for a particle and body. Fig. 1 shows (a) Rectilinear motion of a particle; (b) Rectilinear motion of a body.
