Continuum Hypothesis in Fluid Mechanics The macroscopic behavior of fluids makes them appear to be continuous. However‚ when viewed at the microscopic scale fluids cannot be viewed as continuous. The fluid under consideration will have molecules bombarding each other. It is not possible to declare the fluid velocity at a point as there is no guarantee that the fluid molecules are present at that point at a particular instant of time. When we calculate the fluid velocity or density at a point it

Critically evaluate to what extent the ‘somatic-marker hypothesis’ explains how decisions are made in the face of an uncertain outcome. In mind of Kim Sterelny’s (2007) statement that ‘Human Life is one long decision tree’‚ it is not surprising that there has been a vast amount of research into the process of how we evaluate the desirability of alternative choices and select a particular option. One area of research‚ of particular interest here‚ is Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis (SMH) (1991)

the same safe level‚ to breed a standard citizenry‚ to put down dissent and originality." That is why‚ really‚ the only education that matters is to teach someone how to think critically. Once someone is armed with that ability‚ then they can seek knowledge in whatever they wish to learn‚ and be able to think critically in order to separate what is truth from what is fabrication.

Social Navigation Hypothesis suggests that conditions cataloged as "illness‚ or "disorder" were beneficial to our survival. This theory affirms that what we would categorize as mental illness benefits us by urging us to integrate for a higher rank in society. I would like to think this has no correlation with beauty‚ or weight as our ancestors did not have IG makeup tips in the past‚ nor did they care about dieting. However‚ it does indicate that our mental "illnesses" are actually the motivation

An efficient market is a market in which prices can always fully reflect available information. According to Andrei Shleifer‚ Market efficiency is theoretically based on three conditions‚ which are investor rationality‚ independent deviations from rationality and unlimited arbitrage. If three conditions cannot be satisfied‚ the market might be not efficient. Thus‚ investors’ rational behavior leads to stock market efficiency. For instance‚ when a company releases new information‚ for all investors

The purpose of this essay is to outline and critically evaluate group work and its contribution to empowering individuals and communities. I am going to define what a group is first and then explain what social group work is. A group maybe defined as a number of individuals who join together to achieve a goal. Groups exist for a reason (Mill 1997). Another definition of a group is “a collection of people who spend sometime together‚ who see themselves as members and who are identified by outsiders

The hypothesis has two fundamental sorts of learning: instrumental and communitive learning. Instrumental learning centres around learning through assignment arranged critical thinking and cause and effect of relationships
