Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia II - Cycling Time Trials - Early history

Since 1890, the National Cyclists' Union (an association established to organise and regulate bicycle racing) had banned all cycle racing on public roads. However, there were riders who wanted to race on the road, and Frederick Thomas Bidlake came up with the idea of promoting time trials. As riders would be racing against the clock, not against other competitors in a large group, they would, he argued, be less likely to attract attention; advance event publicity was prohibited, and riders were initially obliged to wear 'inconspicuous clothi ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Cycle studies

Cycles are series of states or conditions that repeat themselves, usually after a regular or nearly regular period. Cyclic behaviour is one kind — the simplest, one could say — of oscillation. The standard mathematical model of a cycle is the periodic function. Mathematicians study both periodic functions and almost periodic functions. Cycles may be due to restorative forces causing repetition as in simple harmonic motion, regularity of motion such as daily, monthly, yearly, and other astronomical cycles, or being affected by something else that has these qualities. These for ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Time

Attempting to understand time has long been a prime occupation for philosophers, scientists and artists. There are widely divergent views about its meaning, hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition of time. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future, regarded as a whole". Another standard dictionary definition is "a non-spatial linear continuum wherein events occur in an apparently irreversible order." This article looks at some of the main philosophi ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Cell division

Cell division is the process by which a cell (called the parent cell) divides into two cells (called daughter cells). Cell division is usually a small segment of a larger cell cycle. In meiosis (discussed later), however, a cell is permanently transformed and cannot divide again. Cell division is the biological basis of life. For simple unicellular organisms such as the Amoeba, one cell division reproduces an entire organism. On a larger scale, cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that g ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Tide

The tide is the regular rising and falling of the ocean's surface caused by changes in gravitational forces external to the Earth. The main changing gravitational field is due to the Moon while a lesser field is caused by the Sun. Since tides generate currents of conducting fluids within the Earth's magnetic field, they affect in return the magnetic field itself. The loss of rotational energy of the earth, due to friction within the tides, and the gravitational effects caused by tidal deformations of the earth's body, ar ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Maya calendar

The Maya calendar is actually a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. These different calendars tracked observable phenomena such as the solar year, the lunar year, and the synodic period of the planet Venus; others had a divinatory or ritualistic purpose without any known association to natural cycles. These calendars could be synchronised and interlocked in complex ways, their combina ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Chinese calendar

The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar incorporating elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar. In China today, the Gregorian Calendar is used for most day to day activities, but the Chinese calendar is still used for marking traditional holidays such as Chinese New Year (Spring Festival), Duan Wu festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in astrology, such as choosing the most auspicious date for a wedding or the opening of a building. Because each month follows one cycle of the moon, it is also used to determ ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Cycle of violence

The Cycle of Violence, is a cycle which shows what usually happens in an abusive relationship. The cycle can happen hundreds of times in an abusive relationship. Each stage lasts a different amount of time in a relationship. The total cycle can take anywhere from a few hours to a year or more to complete. It is important to remember that not all domestic violence relationships fit the cycle. Often, as time goes on, the "making-up" and "calm" stages disappear Cycle of violence - Cycle of Violence. ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Business cycle

The business cycle or economic cycle refers to the ups and downs seen somewhat simultaneously in most parts of an economy. The cycle involves shifts over time between periods of relatively rapid growth of output (recovery and prosperity), alternating with periods of relative stagnation or decline (contraction or recession). These fluctuations are often measured using the real gross domestic product. To call those alternances "cycles" is rather misleading as they don't tend to repeat at fairly regular time intervals. Most ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Biogeochemical cycle

In ecology, a biogeochemical cycle is a circuit or pathway by which a chemical element or molecule moves through both biotic ("bio-") and abiotic ("geo-") compartments of an ecosystem. In effect, the element is recycled, although in some such cycles there may be places (called "sinks") where the element is accumulated or held for a long period of time. All chemical elements occurring in organisms are part of biogeochemical cycles. In addition to being a part of living organisms, these chemical elements also cycle through abioti ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Tyrfing Cycle

The Tyrfing Cycle is a collection of legends united by the magic sword Tyrfing. Two of them are found in the Poetic Edda, and the Hervarar saga can be seen as a compilation of these legends. Tyrfing Cycle - The forging and the curse. The first part deals with the forging of the sword Tyrfing by the Dwarves Durin and Dvalin. They are forced to do so by Svafrlami, the king of Gardariki, but in revenge they curse the sword so that it will kill a man every time it is unsheathed, cause three evil deeds and be th ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Cycle count

A cycle count is an inventory management procedure where a small subset of inventory is counted on any given day. Cycle counts contrast with traditional physical inventory in that physical inventory stops operation at a facility and all items are counted, audited, and recounted at one time. Cycle counts have the advantage that they are less disruptive to daily operations, provide an ongoing measure of inventory accuracy and procedure execution, and can be tailored to fo ...

Cycles of Time: Encyclopedia - Cyclical pattern

Historians from Polybius to Giambattista Vico and Karl Marx have entertained the notion that history moves in definite cycles. Polybius referred to political cycles, Vico believed in a three cycle-pattern based on divine intervention, and Marx believed in an economic viewpoint for history. Fomenko's new chronology claim that this is due to historical records which describe same events being misdated in different time periods.

In modern times economic (business) cycles were studied by Joseph Kitchen, Clement Juglar, Simon Kuznets and Nikolai Kondratieff, each of whom has an economic cycle named after them. There has been debate about the reality of some economic cycles. In historiography and sociology, there is a theory that human history is repeating itself: the social cycle theory. ...
