Theory developed by Einstein based on the hypothesis that the velocity of light is the same as measured by any one of a set of observers moving with constant relative velocity. According to Newtonian theory and the Galilean transformation, the mechanical motion of an object with respect to an inertial system could be predicted from a knowledge of the forces acting on it and the initial conditions, independently of any knowledge of the motion of the inertial system itself. 3, record 3, English, - special%20relativity

The determination of genera, and of what characteristics are to be considered generic, is more or less arbitrary and empirical, and admits of continual alteration according to current knowledge of facts and ideas of classification in the respective sciences. The genus ranks next under the family or sub-family, and above the species; it is sometimes divided into sub-genera. The generic and specific names(always in Latin or considered as Latin) together form the scientific proper name of an animal or plant, the generic name standing first and being written with an initial capital. 2, record 7, English, - genus

The International Ocean Institute has the honour to announce the "Arvid Pardo Award" for Research on the Concept of the Common Heritage". This Award was created by the Institute in 1992 and first awarded in 1997. Through this award the International Ocean Institute wishes to pay tribute to Arvid Pardo, the father of the contemporary Law of the Sea, the inspirer of the pacem in Maribus Conferences and the International Ocean Institute. It was the global vision, knowledge and intellectual integrity of Arvid Pardo, together with his lucid presentation of the proposals in 1967, that convinced the United Nations General Assembly to convene the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Special tribute must be paid to Arvid Pardo for his imagination and clear justification of the principle of the Common Heritage of Mankind in his presentations to the General Assembly and subsequently during the initial considerations thereof. 2, record 12, English, - %5C%22Arvid%20Pardo%20Award%5C%22%20for%20Research%20on%20the%20Concept%20of%20the%20Common%20Heritage

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. 2, record 13, English, - universal%20grammar

Selon Chomsky, ensemble de principes et de règles innées qui s'activent au moment de l'apprentissage du langage chez l'enfant. En IA, la notion très ancienne d'universaux du langage a inspiré l'approche conceptuelle du traitement du langage naturel et plus particulièrement de la traduction automatisée. 1, record 13, French, - grammaire%20universelle

In essence, PVEX is a linkage of a computer-aided design system, a hypermedia-based knowledge management system and resident databases. The combination makes up an "intelligent" software tool. It is particularly useful for analyzing initial designs and performing both value and reverse engineering. Although it is still limited to mechanical structural type parts, it is planned to include electrical, optical and chemical functions. 1, record 14, English, - Producibility%2FValue%20Engineering%20Expert%20System
