Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia II - Globalization - Measurement of Globalization

To what extent a country is globalized in a particular year has until most recently been measured employing simple proxies like flows of trade, migration, or foreign direct investment. A more sophisticated approach to measuring globalization is the recent index calculated by the Swiss think tank KOF. The index measures the three main dimensions of globalization: economic, social, and political. In addition to three indices measuring these dimensions, an overall index of globalization and sub-indices referring to actual economic flows, econom ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: : Morphic fields can now be measured scientifically!

In the laboratory of Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) at Princeton University/USA, research on the topic "mind-machine-interaction" has been ongoing since the late 1970s. As far back as the late 80s, extensive studies proved that diodes with white noise might be used as an interface between man and machine. Since 1998, worldwide about 50 such diodes with white noise have been measuring not only the consciousness of individuals but also the global consciousness of mankind within a study called "Global Consciousness Project". The results have been published and indicate synchronized reaction of all diodes to incidents of worldwide interest such as the war in Iraq, Lady Diana�s funeral or the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 on the World Trade Centre in New York.

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - Radiative forcing

Most of Earth's energy which affects weather comes from the Sun. The planet and its atmosphere absorb and reflect some of the energy, with that which is absorbed tending to produce warming. An amount of heat is radiated back to space, tending to cool the planet. The balance between absorbed and radiated energy determines the average temperature. The planet is warmer than it would be in the absence of the atmosphere: see greenhouse effect for details and Radiation Balance for a mathematical explanation. The radiation balance can be alt ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - Global Consciousness Project

The Global Consciousness Project, also called the EGG Project, is one of the most significant of current research projects into parapsychology. Based at Princeton, the project researches into the theory that the human consciousness may create an external field which is not detectable via conventional means. Working on the assumption that while the field of an individual's consciousness is not measurable, the combined field of a large number of people who are experiencing similar thoughts or feelings ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - Units of measurement

The definition, agreement and practical use of units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to this day. Disparate systems of measurement used to be very common. Now there is a global standard, the International System (SI) of units, a form of metric system. The SI has been or is in the process of being adopted throughout the world. The United States of America is almost certainly the last to adopt the system but even there it is increasingly being used. Standards are very important. Eac ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - VHF omnidirectional range

This article is about the radio navigation aid, see vestibulo-ocular reflex for the important eye movement that has provided insight into cerebellum-dependent motor learning. VOR, short for VHF Omni-directional Radio Range, is a type of radio navigation system for aircraft. VORs broadcast a VHF radio signal encoding both the identity of the station and the angle to it, telling the pilot in what direction he lies from the VOR station, referred to as the radial. Comparing two such measures on a chart allows f ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - Weather balloon

A weather balloon is a balloon which carries instruments aloft to send back information on atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity by means of a small, expendable measuring device called a radiosonde. To obtain wind data, they can be tracked by radar, radio direction finding, or navigation systems (such as the satellite based Global Positioning System). The balloon itself produces the lift, and is usually made of a highly flexible latex material (though Chloroprene may also be used). The unit that performs the actual me ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia - Ageing

Ageing or aging is the process of becoming older. This article focuses on the social, cultural, and economic effects of ageing. The biology of ageing is treated in detail in senescence. Ageing is an important part of all human societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also reflecting cultural and societal conventions. Age is usually, but wholly arbitrarily, measured in years and a p ...

Globalization - Measurement of Globalization: Encyclopedia II - Global Positioning System - Technical description

A GPS receiver compares time signal transmissions from four or more satellites to calculate the precise time and its current position (latitude, longitude, elevation), using trilateration. The receiver computes the distance to each of the four satellites from the difference between local time and the time the satellite signals were sent (this distance is called a pseudorange). It then decodes the satelli ...
