What is: Encyclopedia II - Musicology - What is music?

"What is music?" is the first (and historical) question of musicology. Through it we can find the three sub-disciplines of present musicology. 1. What is music? What structures of sound can we call music? How have the ideas and practices of music developed in different cultures and ages? Which pieces and systems of music can we form a body of knowledge from, because they have survived in notated, recorded or remembered form? These questions lead to the study of music history. 2. What is music? What i ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Panarchy - What is Panarchy?

The key distinction between the old and new versions of panarchy is that for its supporters the old version of panarchy is a normative aspiration. For those scholars who use the new version, panarchy is an actually occurring real-world process to be observed and studied, not a political ideology to be espoused. Panarchy is the pattern of relationships that characterizes and define the next era in human civilization. The totality of these relations - political, economic, social - is meant to co ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Lifehack - What it applies to

Lifehacks generally apply to the secondary stuff in our lives. However, as what’s “secondary” is different for just about everyone, they can apply anywhere. For example, a web developer is paid to sit at his or her desk and write code, not keep that desk clean or keep the coffee fresh and tasty. Still, he or she is more productive when both of these things are in line, even though they are only secondary to the coding. A lifehack would be a solution to these two problems that requires little effort, and allows for more time spe ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - The Patriots - What are the Patriots?

There have also been numerous theories about their origin, since the only piece of information available is at the ending of the game, when they converse with Raiden through his CODEC radio. The Patriots insinuate that they are not quite, "human". They appear to have all the characteristics of a disembodied computer AI, but claim to have existed for 200 years as a consciousness developed in the "primordial soup" of the White House. Near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2, they appear as a skull-like visage that briefly flashes on and off i ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Fire retardant - What It Is

A fire retardant is a chemical or substance that will help to delay the burning of something. The reason a fire retardant is called that rather than a fire proofer is because nothing is fire proof. Under the right conditions, anything will burn. A fire retardant can also be a material that burns slower than other things. For example, if something is coated with a metal of some sort, that coating will slow and possibly prevent and object's burning. While fire retardant materials are made to burn slowly and resist fire, fire resistant materials are made to actually withstand burning until ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Objecthood - What the problem is and is not

Maybe the notion of an object is primitive: it cannot be explained any further. A word is primitive if it is meaningful but not capable of being defined. Moreover, if the notion of objecthood cannot be explained in terms of something else, then, given that it is a genuine notion at all, then it is a primitive concept. Maybe it would help to limit one's ambitions to the concept of physical objecthood. But it will not do to suggest that physical objecthood can be understood in terms of fundamental particles, such as quarks. Presumably, ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Absurdism - What's the point?

The most common definition of "point" is that something (an object, or simply living one's life) must have a higher purpose to justify it. However, for that higher purpose to have "a point", then it, too, must have an even higher purpose. These "chains of justification" never come to an end; therefore, nothing can be considered to have ultimate purpose. If they did come to an end, they might still not satisfy us. For example, for a cow to know that its higher purpose ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Hypoglycemia - Defining hypoglycemia: what's normal and what's low?

Although 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l) is commonly cited as the lower limit of normal glucose, different values may be defined as low for different populations, purposes, or circumstances. The precise level of glucose considered low enough to define hypoglycemia is dependent on (1) the measurement method, (2) the age of the person, (3) presence or absence of effects, and (4) the purpose of the definition. This article expresses glucose in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl or mg/100 ml) as is customary in the United States, while millimoles per liter ( ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Mimesis - What it does

In the arts, mimesis is considered to be re-presenting the human emotions in new ways and so re-presenting to the onlooker, listener or reader the inherent nature of the emotions and the psychological truth of the work of art. Mimesis is thus thought of as a means of perceiving the emotions of the characters on stage or in the book; or the truth of the figures as they appear in sculpture or in painting; or the emotions as they are being configured in music, and of their being recognised by the on ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Oblique projection - What it is

Oblique projection is a type of parallel projection. Thus, it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors) from the three-dimensional source object with the drawing surface (projection plane). In both oblique projection and orthographic projection (the other type of parallel projection), parallel lines of the source object produce parallel lines in the projected image. The projectors in oblique projection intersect the projection plane at an oblique angle to produce the projected image, as opposed to the per ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - AdWords - What is AdWords?

Advertisements are short, consisting of one title line and two content text lines. Advertisers specify the words that should trigger their ads and the maximum amount they are willing to pay per click. When a user searches Google's search engine on www.google.com, ads for relevant words are shown as "sponsored link" on the right side of the screen, and sometimes above the main search results. The ordering of the paid listings depends on other advertisers' bids (thus the system is classified as P4P) and the historical click-throug ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Dunkirk - What if?

The battle of Dunkirk poses one of the great "what-ifs" of World War II, which has attracted speculation from many military historians. If Hitler had not ordered the German panzer divisions to halt (from 24 May to 26 May and again on 29 May), but instead ordered an all-out attack on Dunkirk, then it is possible that the retreating Allies could have been cut off from the sea and destroyed? If the whole of the British Expeditionary Force had been captured or killed at Dunkirk, then it is possible that morale in Britain could have sunk so low a ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Nitroglycerin - What is detonation?

Nitroglycerin and any or all of the diluents mentioned above can certainly deflagrate, or burn. However, the explosive power of nitroglycerin is derived from detonation: a shock propagates through the fuel-rich medium at a supersonic speed. In other words, the initial decomposition sets up a pressure gradient that induces decomposition in contiguous material, creating a fast-moving transition zone, which (due to the nature of the material) can detonate any unstable or explosive material it encounters. This generates a self-sustained cascade ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Carsharing - Carsharing: what it is and is not

Terminology: Despite its evident English language origins, the term Carsharing (earlier often written as two separate words, and still today occasionally hyphenated) is now the widely accepted international term. The most prominent exceptions include "Autoteilen" in German, "Autodelen" in Dutch, "Autopartage" in French, and "Bilpool" in Swedish. This list goes on, almost every local operations has its own favored term. Among them: Andelsbilklub, AutoDelen, Autotaxis, Autoteilen, Auto zum Teilen, Autoparate, Autovermietung, Bilp ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Monetarism - What is monetarism?

Monetarism is an economic theory which focuses on the macroeconomic effects of the supply of money and central banking. Formulated by Milton Friedman, it argues that excessive expansion of the money supply is inherently inflationary, and that monetary authorities should focus solely on maintaining price stability. This theory draws its roots from two almost diametrically opposed ideas: the hard money policies which dominated monetary thinking in the late 19th century, and the monetary theories of John Maynard Keynes, who, working in t ...

After losing a large portion of the market to other companies, Sony's latest attempt to revive the Walkman brand involves a series of music-centred mobile phones by Sony Ericsson. The W800 and W550/W600, the first products born of this concept, have numerous audio capabilities including playlists, audio equalisation, support for the .m4a file format, and the ability to operate as a "pure" music player with the phone switched off - in addition to top-of-the-range features such as a 2 megapixel auto-focus camera on the W800.The W550/W600 will ...

What is: Encyclopedia II - Jujutsu - What's in a name?

Jujutsu, Jujitsu, Jiu Jitsu; there are a wide range of spellings used in English for this Japanese martial art. In the native Japanese, jūjutsu is written in kanji (Japanese ideograms) as 柔術, but the romanization of the Japanese word into the English language has been performed several times using several different systems. Jujutsu, the current standard, is derived using the Hepburn romanization system. Before the first half of the 20th century, however, jiu-jitsu and then jujitsu were preferred. Since this corresponded to ...
