actions: Encyclopedia II - Action on Climate Change - Business Action

Action on Climate Change - Increased Energy Efficiency. For many companies, looking at more efficient usage of energy can pay off in the medium to long term; unfortunately, shareholders need to be satisfied in the short term, so regulatory intervention is often required, to encourage prudent conservation measures. However, as carbon intensity starts to show up on balance books through organisations such as the carbon disclos ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Strike action - Scabs

The term 'scab' is most frequently used to refer to people who continue to work when their colleagues have collectively decided to take strike action. In terms of breaking solidarity with the workforce, this is probably the most serious crime. The classic example from UK industrial history is that of the miners from Nottinghamshire, who consistently failed to support strike action by fellow mineworkers in other parts of the country because they enjoyed more favourable m ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Reflex action - Mechanism

A reflex mechanism involves a receptor organ, an effector organ, and some type of communication network. Ivan Pavlov unintentionally launched the study of conditioning by establishing a way of producing what he called "conditional reflexes", i.e. reflexes that would only be seen conditional on previous experiences of the subject. ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Group action - Orbits and stabilizers

Consider a group G acting on a set X. The orbit of a point x in X is the set of elements of X to which x can be moved by the elements of G. The orbit of x is denoted by Gx: The defining properties of a group guarantee that the set of orbits of X under the action of G form a partition of X. The associated equivalence relation is defined by saying x ~ y iff there exists a g in G with g·x< ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action comic - History

The title was created by Pat Mills in response to the changing social and political times of the 1970s, and as competition to DC Thompson's Warlord title. Warlord was a new type of British boys adventure comic, focusing on the Second World War and having tougher heroes than what had been seen previously. The title was a huge success and IPC first of all launched Battle Picture Weekly (created by Mills and John Wagner), but the title was based in the Second World War and the idea was for Action ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Strike action - Scabs

People hired to replace striking workers are often derogatavely termed scabs by those in favour of the strike. The terms strike-breaker, blackleg, and scab labor are also used. Trade unionists also use the epithet "scab" to refer to workers who are willing to accept terms that union workers have rejected and interfere with the strike action. The word comes from the idea that the "scabs" are covering a wound. During economic strikes, scabs ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Direct action - Introduction

Direct action include such activities as strikes, boycotts, workplace occupations, sit-ins, intimidation, harassment or sabotage, and less oppositional methods such as establishing radical social centres, although these are often squatted. Direct actions are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience, and may be illegal. Those employing direct action aim to either: obstruct another agent or organization from performing some practice they object to act with whatever resources and methods are within their power, either on their own or as part ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Peace Action - SANE

SANE was founded in 1957 by Coretta Scott King, Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Benjamin Spock and others in response to the nuclear arms race and the Eisenhower administration's policies on the production and testing of nuclear weapons, with the aim of alerting Americans to the threat of nuclear weapons. A full-page advertisement placed in the New York Times in November 1957 prompted a nationwide response, and by 1958, the membership of the organization had grown to 25,000. SANE was formal ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action-RPG - History

Like most video game genres, the definition of the action-RPG is flexible. The strict definition says that an action-RPG uses the same statistic-based combat and character development as a traditional RPG, only with arcade-like realtime action used instead of turn-based combat. Some people include action games with adventure elements, such as Zelda, as well. There is also a distinct difference between gam ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Reflex action - Explanation

A reflex action or reflex is a biological control system linking stimulus to response and mediated by a reflex arc. Reflexes can be built-in or learned. It occurs very quickly before thinking. Before the message is sent to the brain the spine picks it up and sends it back to the muscle causing spasm. Reflex action - Simple reflex. A simple reflex is entirely automatic and involves no learning. Examples of such reflexes include the sudden withdrawal of a hand in response to a pai ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action Replay - Criticisms

Datel, the maker of Action Replay, has received several criticisms from the gaming world over its products. One of the most popular complaints is the so-called "planned obsolescence" where codes for a just-released game require the most recent version of the cheat software. Datel is also notorious for its poor codes support; many gamers have to wait for weeks for Datel to release its code for a particular game and very often, the codes themselves are not complete. For example, in the game Gran Turismo 4, Datel released the codes more than on ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action physics - Some applications of the action principle

Although equivalent in classical mechanics with Newton's laws, the action principle is better suited for generalizations and plays an important role in modern physics. Indeed, this principle is one of the great generalizations in physical science. In particular, it is fully appreciated and best understood within quantum mechanics. Richard Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is based on a stationary-action principle, using path integ ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action potential - Refractory period

Although the passive transmission of action potentials across myelinated segments would suggest that action potentials propagate in either direction, most action potentials travel unidirectionally because the node behind the propagating action potential is refractory. Where membrane has undergone an action potential, a refractory period follows. This period arises primarily because of the voltage-dependent inactivation of sodium channels, as described by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952. In addition to the voltage-dependent opening o ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action physics - Euler-Lagrange equations for the action integral

The stationary point of an integral along a path is equivalent to a set of differential-equations, called the Euler-Lagrange equations. This can be seen as follows where we restrict ourselves to one coordinate only. The extension to more coordinates is straightforward. Suppose we have an action integral S of an integrand L which depends on coordinates x(t) and dx ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action figure - History

The term "action figure" was first used by Hasbro in 1964, to market their G.I. Joe figure to boys who wouldn't play with "dolls". G.I. Joe was initially a military-themed 11.5-inch action figure proposed by marketing and toy idea man Stan Weston. The action figure featured changeable clothes, with various uniforms to suit different purposes. In a move that would create global popularity for this type of toy, Hasbro also licensed the product to companies in other markets: Argentina – Joe Super Temerario by Ver ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action painting - Historical context

It is essential for the understanding of this movement to place it in historical context. A product of the post-war artistic insurgence, it developed in an era where quantum mechanics and psychoanalysis were beginning to flourish and change the entire Western civilization’s understating of the world and self-consciousness. The preceding art of Kandinsky and Mondrian, had attempted to detract itself from the portrayal of objects and instead tried to tingle and tantalize the emotions of the viewer. Action Art took this a step further, ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action painting - The unconscious act

This spontaneous activity was the "action" of the painter. The painter would let the paint drip onto canvases, often simply dancing around, or even standing on the canvases, and simply letting the paint fall where the subconscious mind wills, thus letting the unconscious part of the psyche express itself. All this, however, is nothing we can explain or interpret, because it is only an unconscious manifestation. Source: based (very) loo ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Nambu-Goto action - Derivation

The basic principle of Lagrangian mechanics is that an object subjected to outside influences will "choose" a path which makes a certain quantity, the action, a minimum. The action is a functional, a mathematical relationship which takes an entire path and produces a single number. The physical path, that which the object actually follows, is the path for which the action is "stationary": any small variation of the path from the physical one does not significantly change the action. (Often, this is equivalent to saying the phys ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action potential - Underlying mechanism

Action potential - Resting membrane potential. The membrane voltage changes that take place during an action potential result from changes in the permeability of the membrane to specific ions (particularly sodium and potassium), the internal and external concentrations of which cells maintain in an imbalance. This imbalance makes possible not only action potentials but also the resting cell potential arises through the work of pumps (eg, the sodium-potassium exchanger) as well as ion channels (eg, the potassium l ...

actions: Encyclopedia II - Action potential - Threshold and initiation

Action potentials are triggered when an initial depolarization reaches threshold. This threshold potential varies, but generally is about 15 millivolts above the cell's resting membrane potential, occurring when the inward sodium current exceeds the outward potassium current. The net influx of positive charges carried by sodium ions depolarizes the membrane potential, leading to the further opening of voltage-gated sodium channels. These channels support greater inward current causing further depolarization, creating a positive-feedback cycle th ...
