efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Economic inequality - Causes Of Inequality

There are many reasons for economic inequality within societies. These causes are often inter-related and complex. For example, race differences and wealth condensation are different causes but can be highly correlated within a population. The relationship between cause and effect can also be non-linear and complex. For example, economic inequality decreases the amount of social cohesion within society, leading to greater inequality. Among the acknowledged factors that impact economic inequality in some part are the labour market, innate ability, education, race, gen ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Fatigue physical

Fatigue is a state, following a period of mental or physical activity, characterized by a lessened capacity for work and reduced efficiency of accomplishment, usually accompanied by a feeling of weariness, sleepiness, or irritability. It may also follow when, from any cause, energy expenditure outstrips restorative processes and may be confined to a single organ. Fatigue can also be quite dangerous when performing certain duties that require constant concentration, such as driving a vehicle. When someone is sufficiently fatigue ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Winglet

A winglet is a device used to improve the efficiency of aircraft by lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension at the tips of each wing. Winglets work by increasing the effective aspect ratio of a wing without adding greatly to the structural stress and hence necessary weight of its structure - an extension of wing span would also permit lowering of induced drag, though it would cause parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength of the wing and hence its we ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Pangenesis

Pangenesis was Charles Darwin's hypothetical mechanism for heredity. He presented this 'provisional hypothesis' in his 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication and felt that it brought 'together a multitude of facts which are at present left disconnected by any efficient cause'. The theory itself is now seen as deeply flawed and not supported by observation, yet it represents Darwin's attempt to explain such diverse phenomena as atavisms, the intermediate nature of hybrids (blending inheritance), Lamarckian use a ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Varicocele

Varicocele is a mass of enlarged veins in the scrotum that develops in the spermatic cord, which leads from the testicles (testes) up through a passageway in the lower abdominal wall (inguinal canal) to the circulatory system. The spermatic cord is made up of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and the duct that carries sperm from the body (vas deferens). If the valves that regulate bloodflow from these veins become defective, blood does not circulate out of the testicles efficiently, which causes swelling in the veins above and ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Coercive monopoly

In economics and business ethics, a coercive monopoly is a form of monopoly where a firm is able to make pricing and production decisions independent of competitive forces because all potential competition is effectively barred from entering the market. [1] [2] Almost all those who employ the term to label such a state of affairs maintain that it can only be achieved by government intervention, though some note that a merchant can itself engage in coercion to secure a monopoly position. Some use the alternative definition that a coe ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia - Wankel engine

The Wankel rotary engine is a type of internal combustion engine, invented by German engineer Felix Wankel, which uses a rotor instead of reciprocating pistons. This design promises smooth high-rpm power from a compact, lightweight engine; however Wankel engines are criticized for poor fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions. Wankel engine - How it works. As the rotor turns, its motion and shape and the shape of the housing cause each side of the rotor to get closer and farther from the wall of the housing, c ...

efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Economic inequality - Effects Of Inequality

Economic inequality - Social Cohesion. Research has shown a clear link between income inequality and social cohesion. In more equal societies, people are much more likely to trust each other, measures of social capital suggest greater community involvement, and homicide rates are consistently lower. One of the earliest writers to note the link between economic equality and social cohesion was Alexis de Tocqueville in his Democracy in America. Writing in 1831: See also:

efficient cause: Encyclopedia II - Competition - Competition in different fields

Competition - Economics and business competition. Seen as the pillar of capitalism in that it may stimulate innovation, encourage efficiency, or drive down price. According to microeconomic theory, no system of resource allocation is more efficient than pure competition. Competition, according to the theory, causes commercial firms to develop new products, services, and technologies. This gives consumers greater selection and better products. The greater selection typically causes lower prices for the products compared to what the price would be if there w ...
