“That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow” Consider knowledge issues raised by this statement in two areas of knowledge There are two ways of accepting knowledge‚ one which can be collective acceptance as a general public and another is personal acceptance. In the question‚ it claims that knowledge‚ which is justified true belief according to Plato‚ regarded in a system of facts‚ can be accepted today and then discarded tomorrow. We can accept things as a fact

Procedure 1. H bridge theory was given by technician. 2. A circuit was set up as in figure 1. 3. H-bridge circuit was created. There were 4 switches and a motor in a circuit with two jumpers. 4. The theory was applied. The jumpers were connected to the alternate voltage supply. 5. The direction of DC motor was tested and determined. 6. All switches were in closed position at initial condition. 7. Only switch 1 and 4 was closed at the first condition as in figure 2(a). The direction of DC motor

NANOTECHNOLOGY AND SOME USAGE AREAS OF IT The nanometer is a unit length which equals 10-9 meters‚ in other words‚ billionth of a meter. In basic‚ logical perspective‚ the definition: the science‚ which studies the matter in nano dimensions for the term “nanoscience” is quite perceptible. However‚ to deeper understanding‚ it is useful to take a look at a wide definition of the nanotechnolocy‚ provided by U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative. According to the initiative‚ “Nanotechnology is the

breeze caused the flag to flutter. However‚ there is a special metal pole connected to the top of the flagpole vertically so that the flag does not hang down. There is no wind and no air on the moon but there does exist inertia property. The flag fluttered because of the inertia property caused by the astronaut’s motion of insert the flagpole into surface of the moon. Moreover‚ the videos show that when astronauts let go of the flagpole and walk pass by the flag remains still. This point is a significant

Hinings (1996) presents a very interesting view of the factors conditioning organizational behavior regarding change. By composing a model of the dynamics involved in organizational change that may or not enable organizations to surpass the forces of inertia‚ this theory intends to explain why some organizations change‚ radically‚ while others‚ subject to the same pressures‚ resist change or change with a slow pace. This is nowadays a very important issue since organizations‚ namely firms‚ are suffering

and Tushman‚ 1993). On one hand‚ resistance is a phenomenon that affects the change process‚ delaying or slowing down its beginning‚ obstructing or hindering its implementation‚ and increasing its costs (Ansoff‚ 1990) resistance is equivalent to inertia‚ as the persistence to avoid change (Maurer‚ 1996; Rumelt‚ 1995; Zaltman and Duncan‚ 1977) process (Waddell and Sohal‚ 1998).

economic‚ political‚ and global forces; demographic and social forces; and ethical forces. Organizations are often reluctant to change because resistance to change at the organization‚ group‚ and individual levels has given rise to organizational inertia. Sources of organization-level resistance to change include power and conflict‚ differences in functional orientation‚ mechanistic structure‚ and organizational culture. Sources of group-level resistance to change include group norms‚ group cohesiveness
