Rene Descartes was born on March 31‚ 1596 in La Haye‚ France. His family connections lie south across the Creuse River in Poitou‚ where it was controlled by Huguenots. His father owned farms and houses in Chatellerault and Poitiers‚ and worked as a councillor in the Parlement of Brittany‚ passing on the rank of nobility to Descartes. At one-year-old‚ Descartes’s father left him in La Haye to re-marry ‚where he and his two other siblings were to be raised by his grandmother and then his great

the same points. 4. Define Random scan/Raster scan displays? Random scan is a method in which the display is made by the electronic beam which is directed only to the points or part of the screen where the picture is to be drawn. The Raster scan system is a scanning technique in which the electrons sweep from top to bottom and from left to right. The intensity is turned on or off to light and unlight the pixel. 5.

Laboratory III: Forces Problem IV: Normal and Kinetic Frictional Force I John Greavu March 13‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Evan Frodermann‚ TA: Mark Pepin Abstract The dependence of two-dimensional velocity and position components on time as well as whether or not said components are constant was determined. Video was recorded of a ball being projected laterally and data of its flight were plotted. From analyzing the data and the corresponding graphs that followed‚ it was shown that while the

the modification made had no much contribution (as advised by peers). Our first attempt triggered off further efforts; further research was done to solve future surveying problems. It was not until on June 2013 while studying on curvilinear coordinates that we were prompted with an idea which enabled us to discover that the area of a triangle could be found by a relation connecting area to length of one side and trigonometric ratios of two angles emanating from the line considered. The knowledge

EXERCISE 2STRAIGHT LINES Question 1: Write the equations for the x and y-axes. Answer : The y-coordinate of every point on the x-axis is 0. Therefore‚ the equation of the x-axis is y = 0. The x-coordinate of every point on the y-axis is 0. Therefore‚ the equation of the y-axis is x = 0. Question 2: Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (–4‚ 3) with slope . Answer : We know that the equation of the line passing through point ‚ whose slope is m‚ is . Thus‚ the equation

Knitting structure; Buckling; Wrinkling; Simple shear 1. Introduction Simulations of draping and buckling/wrinkling of fabric sheet have attracted many researchers’ attention because of their great prospect of application in developing ‘‘Trial Systems of Apparel’’ which can model how clothes would appear on models in fashion shows‚ see‚ e.g.‚ Amirbayat and Hearle (1989). The draping and buckling of woven fabric have extensively been studied‚ see‚ e.g.‚ Kim (1991)‚ Kang and Yu (1995)‚ Chen and Govindaraj
