Subject field(s)
  • Yoga and Pilates
CONT

... yoga poses are the comprehensive set of body and mind exercises. The poses or asanas we do can be classified as per the twists they give to our body. The postures which require our body to bend in back side are termed as back-bends and likewise the forward-bend poses.

CONT

More than just stretching, asanas open the energy channels, chakras and psychic centers of the body. Asanas purify and strengthen the body and control and focus the mind.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Yoga et pilates
CONT

[...] la posture yogique, l’asana, implique une action intérieure et une action extérieure, des actions qui se combinent de façon pratique et forment un tout. L’action extérieure vise le corps physique, surtout la musculature et les articulations, et l'action intérieure agit au niveau des centres subtils de force et des nadis (qui constituent le corps pranique).

CONT

[...] dans le cas des postures de yoga, chaque position du corps a un but précis, étant calculée et expérimentée avec beaucoup de précision. Rien n’est laissé au hasard, l’asana étant en essence le symbole au plan physique d’une subtile énergie bénéfique de l’univers. La posture yogique est une véritable «formule» qui a pour but : l’entretien en état parfait des fonctions du corps physique, d'équilibrer les énergies praniques qui agissent directement sur le corps physique, de calmer le mental par l’attention que la pratique de la posture nécessite, d'exercer le contrôle de la respiration [...]

CONT

The SIHS [Soldier's Integrated Headwear System] headborne system should be designed with warfighting in mind; predominantly for high tempo operations... The highest priority system capability for the headborne system is protection. Chief among these is protection against high and low velocity fragments [and] blast... Similarly, blast and impulse noise injury to the ears has been identified as important from both a protection and a command and control perspective. The future headborne system also needs to integrate CB [chemical and biological] protection for skin and respiration [and needs to include GPS [global positioning system] and radio antennae on the helmet, as well as any combat [identification] detector technology. For camouflage,... temperate and hot environments [are] important and... any future system [needs] to manage light, noise and thermal emissions to avoid detection by the enemy.... Compatibility with weapons, CB protective equipment, and corrective vision spectacles were seen to be essential for the dismounted rifleman role.

OBS

The QFAA [Quebec Food Allergy Association] developed the CAC [Certified Allergen Control] program’s specifications, which define all the requirements to which companies must comply in order to have their products certified. The QFAA also created a logo that serves as a Certified Allergen Control (CAC) mark of conformity.

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

G. Cotter Enterprises, Inc. has made tremendous advancements toward a finely tuned microwelding process. Microwelding originated with the mold makers needs in mind. [Since it is an] ultra sensitive method of welding, this skill is now applied to medical parts, electronic components, sensitive finished machined surfaces, polished surfaces, and any surfaces that would not lend themselves to conventional welding. The science behind microwelding is due to the tighter control of the arc in close spaces. The less heat added to the part, the least amount of distortion will result. Minimal sink(sink marks on the material surface due to melting into the base metal) is maintained through this process. Ultimately, precision microwelds lead to less rework, which in turn assist in lower cost for machining. In fact, many microwelds can be finished by hand.

A faculty is a power under the control of the will, having a specific work of its own to do. According to this definition, we must class seeing, memory, judgment, love, etc., as mental faculties. But the mind has three very important powers that do not answer to the definition of faculties; these are, consciousness, attention, and conception.

Subject field(s)

N. Chomsky describes his pursuit in theoretical terms as a search for universal grammar(or U. G.) U. G. is genetically determined at its initial state(in the organism) and is specified, sharpened, articulated, and refines under conditions set by experience, to yield the particular grammars found in specific groups of individuals(1980, p. 234). A theory of universal grammar is said to be an explanatory theory. To know a language is to be in a certain state of mind/brain : this state is described by a core grammar which consists of certain principles of universal grammar, which are to be discovered by linguists. Thus, Chomsky takes a purely realistic stance : language knowledge is a series of states in the brain... Now he has come to the conclusion that it is more productive to speak of various principles that govern language use. These principles begin in human biology. They determine the kinds of grammar that are available in principle(Chomsky 1979). The principles of U. G. are various subsystems, which go by names like binding theory, control theory, government, theta theory, and the like-each of which features a limited degree of parametric variation.
