Neutrino

What is Neutrino? A neutrino is a fundamental particle in physics, part of the lepton family. Here’s what makes it special: Electrically neutral – it has no charge. Extremely small mass – much lighter than an electron, but not exactly zero. Hardly interacts with matter – trillions pass through your body every second without leaving a trace.

How Much Energy Do Humans Generate and Consume?

Image
We usually talk about energy in terms of power plants and fuels, but our bodies are tiny power stations too. A typical human produces roughly 80 watts continuously, about the power of a small light bulb. Scaling that by population gives an interesting historical perspective. Let's do some calculations and visualizations ... 

Description versus Meaning

Description and Specification What is description? In [3], the description is described as ... By the 'description' of an object, we mean an acc full and so definite that one to whom the object unfamiliar can nevertheless, given skill and mater construct it from the verbal formula. The best object description is  the specification ... Every discriminable part or feature of the object unambiguously named; there is a one-to-one correlation of symbols and the empirical items symbolized; and the logical order of the specification is the order of easiest reconstruction. Titchener in [3] describes " Psychological description" in the following words ... The psychological description is analytical, in that the given consciousness or part-consciousness or part-consciousness is analyzed into its elementary constituents, into sensation, images, attitudes, etc.; it is also abstractive, in that the inseparable attributes of these elements or of their groups (quality, intensity,...

Resource Theories, Ontology and Digital Transformation

When you study the various subjects in various disciplines there is the point when you ask yourself what all entities in the widest sense have in common. This is closely associated with Aristotle's question of " being qua being " and is the basic foundation of Ontology [12]. The question of questions is, what is the most abstract object? What is the thing of things?  It seems the resource is used as a thing of things and the most abstract conceptual object applicable in any discipline. Any concept can be based on resources and all other more concrete things can be inherited from the more general resource.  Let's describe the basic characteristics of the Resource

RDF & OWL - the basic framework for modern information scientist

There is no doubt, the biggest public information network nowadays is the Internet, especially, World Wide Web (aka WWW, or simply the Web). It can change over time, however, this is where we are now. We can find a lot of interesting resources on the Web, however, the biggest problem is to find the relevant resource (digital object) and the knowledge in the minimum time effort. This is the reason why the semantic web has been invented.  The Semantic Web is an extension of the World Wide Web through standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium. The goal of the Semantic Web is to make Internet data machine-readable. To enable the encoding of semantics with the data, technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL) are used. These technologies are used to formally represent metadata. [ source ]
