The earliest history of plus sign (+) we can trace is Egyptian hieroglyphic. The sign for addition was represented as a pair of legs walking in the direction of the text, neither left nor right . Because Egyptian could be written either from right to left or left to right. In Italy, the symbol plus (+) were adopted by the astronomer Christopher Clavius. The first person who may have used the plus (+) sign as an abbreviation was the astronomer Nicole Oresme’s, the author of the book” The Book of the
side of the domino. She did a great way to explain to the class how to talk and teach kindergarten students. Angeles taught the class what an adding and subject looks like by saying it is called an equation, the sign in between the numbers determines if you add or subject, and the equal sign is our answer, or solution. I loved how Angeles teaching the lesson as if we were kindgarters. She use positive feedback, and also had a smile on her face. I could see how passionate she was to teach math to kindergarters

three plus signs for lipids, which means that they have the greatest amount of lipids. It would make sense that vegetable oil is one of the two foods containing the most lipids, considering that they contain “very large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids” (Gunnars, 2013). Water and spinach have minus signs, indicating that they do not contain lipids. The only two foods that contain protein are egg whites and fish. They are the only foods with plus signs, while every other food has a minus sign
OU does not believe in the plus/minus grading system which is used by other colleges and universities because the best and the very good would be separated by a simple sign. Those students who work hard and study religiously are the ones who deserve an A instead of an A+ or an A-. A plus/minus grading system is not only difficult for students but also for teachers and professors because who determines what really
ways that can be used to add internal energy to a gas and the formula version to the first law of thermodynamics is represented ∆U= Q+W. Where Q is the heat and W is the work done on the gas. An important point is the work done on a gas having a plus sign in the formula is because by doing work on the gas means we are adding energy to the internal energy,

Boolean Logic Many of our computer databases utilize boolean logic as the basis of querying the database. Boolean logic has a much older history than most computer users imagine. It is helpful to understand the background and theory behind this concept, because this theory is the foundation on which contemporary computer science and information technology has been built. George Boole was an English mathematician. Born in 1815, he had no formal higher education, but had a natural gift for mathematics

the ionic charge or the common charge of an atom. One needs to memorize that for group 1 in the periodic table it has a +1 charge and group 2 has a +2 charge then skipping to group 13 you also add a plus 3 charge; however, group 14 has a plus or minus 4 ionic charge. Then, you start using the (-) sign after group 14. So for group 15 it’s gonna be a -3 charge and so on and so forth, until you end up with 0 in group 18 as the Noble Gases do not have any charge. As for the transition metals they sort
Aeneid is denoted to as a literary or else secondary epic so as to distinguish it from primeval or primary epics like the Homeric poems. The word "primitive", "primary" besides "secondary" should not be understood as value verdicts, but simply as signs that the inventive character of the epic was improvisational in addition to oral, though that of the Aeneid, collected later in the epic tradition, was fundamentally non-oral and fashioned with the benefit of writing. As realized, the Homeric poems

circular, its velocity changes at the perihelion. To allow for this would be awkward, so we use a 'mean sun.' The equation only rises as high as 16 minutes. It is the same every year, and on 4 dates it becomes 0. A minus sign indicates that the clock is ahead of the sun, a plus that it is behind the sun. Clock time = (sundial time) - (equation of time) For example: Sundial time = 10:00am =================================== Date= January 9th Equation of time= -7 Clock time

Using Chunking to Increase Capacity of STM The aim of the investigation was to repeat the experiment carried out by Bower and Springston in 1970. A laboratory experiment was carried out to demonstrate how chunking could be used to increase the capacity of STM. Participants were presented with a letter sequence. The independent variable was the chunking and the dependent variable was how many letters the participants recalled. A repeated measures design was used and the participants were
Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) MONITORING The amount of alcohol in your blood stream is referred to as Blood Alcohol Level (BAL). It is recorded in milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, or milligrams percent. For example, a BAL of .10 means that 1/10 of 1 percent (or 1/1000) of your total blood content is alcohol. When you drink alcohol it goes directly from the stomach into the blood stream. This is why you typically feel the effects of alcohol quite quickly, especially if you haven't

The quick ratio is an alternate calculation of liquidity that does not take account of inventory in the current assets. The quick ratio is the ratio of current assets minus inventory then compared to current liabilities. The current assets used in the quick ratio are cash, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. It is a sign of a business’s short-range convertible assets. The greater the quick ratio the healthier the business's liquidity situation is. Panera Bread had a 0.86 quick ratio for
