We have all heard of pupils who “got by” in geometry by merely memorizing the proofs given in the book and of teachers who permitted them to “get by.” To such persons those proofs were not proofs. Assuming that such methods are passe if they have not passed all together, what limits are we to approach in the other direction? How long should a student be asked to hold in his memory any completed proof? Is it sufficient to remember the fact and that it has been proved? Are the proofs presented really designed to convince the student of the truth of the fact being proved? Are they the kind of proof that is really convincing to him? Is the logical proof convincing to him? Why prove to him facts that he is sure are true? We ask why he thinks that two triangles must be alike if they have two sides and the included angle the same and he replies that anybody can see that with the implication that somebody around is a “boob.” If he can see no exceptions then is it not a proof to him? Is it not more likely to prejudice him against the geometric proof than to raise any respect for it to drag him through a formal proof under those conditions?

This investigation of cosine triples was instigated by a chance observation. For years I have used triangles with integral sides for the purpose of quizzing students on the law of cosines. The law of cosines states that the square of the length of any side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides minus twice the product of the lengths of those two sides and the cosine of the angle between them. For example, given the triangle with sides 6 and 7, and included angle 20 degrees, the student is expected to find the remaining side using the law of cosines (fig. 1).

The original version of "the theory of economy management", developed in the 1920s by Russian economists-emigrants who called themselves "Eurasians" (N. Trubetskoy, P. Savitskiy, etc.) is analyzed in the article. They considered this theory to be the basis of the original Russia's way of economic development. The Eurasian theory of economy management focuses on two sides of enterprise activity: managerial as well as social and moral. The Eurasians accepted the Soviet economy with the large share of state regulation as the initial step of development. On the other hand they paid much attention to the private sector activity. Eurasians developed a theoretical model of the mixed economy which can be attributed as the Russian economic school.

Two Sides

Every reality has its own positives and negatives. As the proverb goes coin has two sides. It is very much true in the case of green products too. There is no doubt that green products have many benefits and positives. Despite all the good things about green products, there exist a few glitches and shadows, thereby creating a few doubts and apprehensions in the minds of consumers. The present paper tries to understand these problems associated with green products from the perspectives of the consumers and analyses them with an intention of providing the green brands the means and ways to eliminate such anomalies. The study finds out that the unavailability of products is the most difficult thing the consumers have experienced while purchasing.

High Catch

A twin codend trawl was fished in the northern Baltic to study the size selectivity of square mesh and diamond mesh codends of 36-mm nominal mesh size. For each codend, 15 hauls were completed with a small mesh (20 mm) codend deployed on the other side of the trawl. The relative size of the catches in the two sides of the trawl varied considerably from haul to haul (the separator section was not operating properly) and selection curves were estimated from each individual haul using a method that incorporated the differences in catching efficiency of the two sides. The length of 50% retention decreased with increased catch for both the diamond and square mesh codends, although in neither case was this relationship statistically significant. Selection curves fitted to the combined haul data were asymmetric. The square mesh codend retained significantly less small herring than the diamond mesh codend, and for larger herring the two codends had similar selectivity. In both codends, most escapes occurred at the front of the catch bulge, from the upper side of the codend. At high catch rates, mesh blockage was observed for several metres ahead of the catch bulge during the later part of the tow.

AbstractWith reference to two recent doctoral research projects on ELF, the present article examines the characterisation of language attitudes as either stable or variable evaluative phenomena, and provides a detailed account of methodological practices that may be favoured from each ontological position. The durability of language attitudes is more specifically conceptualised as a stable (but not enduring) construct directed to a linguistic phenomenon in one thesis, and as variable and emergent forms of evaluative social practice around a language-related issue in the other. With these two different approaches in conversation, the authors consider the extent to which stability and variability of language attitudes may be two sides of the same coin, and question whether it is safe to assume a priori the inferability of stable language attitudes from the observation of evaluative practice. This article evidences the need for ELF researchers working in this area to contemplate what and how it is being researched in the name of language attitudes while having awareness of possible alternatives in any given study.

Leg Movements

When Cambarus clarkii is exposed to a source of light so that both eyes are equally illuminated, leg movements of the two sides are equal in frequency and amplitude. On covering one eye and exposing the uncovered eye to light, leg movements on the side of the uncovered eye are more frequent and are of greater amplitude than on the side of the covered eye. On covering the exposed eye also the leg movements on the two sides again tend to become equal in frequency and amplitude. When one eye is lost and the other remains functional, the leg movements on the side of the lost eye will be similar to those on the side of a normal, covered eye.

SummaryRisk assessment has been widely adopted in mental health settings in the hope of preventing harms such as violence to others and suicide. However, risk assessment in its current form is mainly concerned with the probability of adverse events, and does not address the other component of risk – the extent of the resulting loss. Although assessments of the probability of future harm based on actuarial instruments are generally more accurate than the categorisations made by clinicians, actuarial instruments are of little assistance in clinical decision-making because there is no instrument that can estimate the probability of all the harms associated with mental illness, or estimate the extent of the resulting losses. The inability of instruments to distinguish between the risk of common but less serious harms and comparatively rare catastrophic events is a particular limitation of the value of risk categorisations. We should admit that our ability to assess risk is severely limited, and make clinical decisions in a similar way to those in other areas of medicine – by informed consideration of the potential consequences of treatment and non-treatment.

The role of cough is of interest to speech-language pathologists (SLPs) for two seemingly contradictory reasons: chronic, excessive cough and insufficient cough. Evidence supports the role of the SLP in behavioral strategies for both the reduction and/or elimination of chronic cough, as well as the use of pulmonary exercise to realize improved airway clearance in individuals with a weak, insufficient cough. At both ends of this continuum, anchored at one end by too much coughing and the other end anchored by inadequate cough for airway clearance/pulmonary health, the SLP has an important role.

Taking Responsibility

<p>Contracts usually comes from agreement to those who are in harmony with the will and desires and in this economic interaction each party seeks to obtain his profits and interests and another forced or convinced to go with it. This way finally results in justice between the parties and hence the agreement as the best and most equitable means of exchange of goods and the distribution of wealth are established between two sides. However sometimes parties will not form in the open environment but a deception in the atmosphere caused by the use of deception and fraudulent practices methods to impose their will and the other party forced to the contract know that the fact is not refused to accept, or at least accept it with such situations. To condemn such behavior it is not enough that can only be committed morally to blame because the use of deception means to hide the faulty product which may cheated person bear the material or spiritual losses. Since jurisprudence knowledge is responsible for the expression of practical laws and ordinances principles and to deal with problems arising from fraudulent contract. Dealings in public life offer religious and legal solutions and this is not possible except with great scientific efforts in the field of jurisprudence. Deceiver responsibility is examples of un-arbitrary<strong> </strong>civil liability. Scholars have analyzed the deceiver’s liability and responsibility in detail to rule deceiver (Deceit) has been invoked. So that wherever deceit and pride to be true in taking responsibility for the spiritual and material elements no deceiver can be cited and compensation that pride has suffered through fraud and deceit pride demanded. Once a deceiver can be no liability for (Deceit) and the following conditions must be present:</p>1) beguiling act 2) prejudicing 3) sedative’s knowledge and seduced unknowing 4) element of deception 5) deceived dissatisfaction
