Earliest Human Societies
The document provides an overview of human history from early hominids to the development of civilization. It discusses that the earliest hominids appeared in East Africa over 3 million years ago. During the Paleolithic Age, humans evolved and spread throughout the world as hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Age saw the development of agriculture, which led to permanent settlements and the beginnings of private property and specialized labor, laying the foundations for civilization. Early civilizations emerged along major river valleys, where irrigation supported intensive agriculture. The Bronze Age followed the use of soft metals, while the Iron Age began around 1500 BC with the smelting of iron, advancing technology and warfare.
The 4th Birth - Part 1a.pdf
The document provides background on a two-volume science fiction work titled "The 4th Birth" and "The Next Birth". It discusses the author's passion for blending storytelling with science. The first story is about the ancient Lemurians and their advanced civilization. It then expands the plot beyond Earth, projecting the evolution of living species and the development of a new intelligent breed called Homo Telepathic. The document encourages readers to expand their knowledge through hidden hyperlinks within the stories.

This document provides an introduction to the book "Temples of the African Gods" by Michael Tellinger and Johan Heine. It discusses how recent archaeological findings in southern Africa suggest that the first civilization on Earth emerged much earlier than traditionally believed, originating in southern Africa rather than Sumer. It notes that conventional history is often inaccurate and influenced by those in power, and that new discoveries may dramatically change perceptions of human origins. The document encourages an open mind and reconsidering preconceived notions in light of emerging evidence from ancient ruins in southern Africa.

Native American civilizations were vastly destroyed by history particularly when the Europeans arrived.

Human evolution
Human evolution began with the last common ancestor of all life and tracks the evolutionary history of primates and the genus Homo. Key developments included primates diverging from other mammals 85 million years ago, the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859 which argued for evolution by natural selection, and the discovery of many fossil intermediates in East Africa in the 1960s and 1970s by paleoanthropologists like Louis and Mary Leakey. Bipedalism is considered a major anatomical adaptation in human evolution and the evidence comes from fields like fossils, genetics, and DNA analysis.
Guns, Germs, And Steel
This document summarizes and discusses Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning book Guns, Germs, and Steel. The book argues that geography and environment, not biology, played major roles in determining modern global development. Specifically, it claims that societies able to domesticate plants and animals first were then able to develop writing, technology, government, and disease immunity, giving them advantages over other groups. The document outlines the book's chapters, which examine factors like plant and animal domestication, the spread of farming, the evolution of germs and technologies, and how they differently impacted development on various continents over the past 13,000 years.
history of education
The document provides a timeline of important developments in education from 2000 BC to 1901 AD. Some key events and developments include: formal schools existing in ancient Sumer and China around 2000 BC; Socrates developing the Socratic method of teaching in Greece around 470-399 BC; the establishment of Harvard College in 1636 as the first colonial college; compulsory education laws being passed in Massachusetts in 1642 and other colonies in 1647; and the founding of Joliet Junior College in 1901 as the first public community college in the U.S. The timeline shows the evolution of education from ancient times through the modern era.

1) The document discusses the history and scientific legitimacy of three marginal sciences: sea serpent investigations in the 19th century, phrenology, and spiritualism.
2) While initially regarded as credible areas of investigation, none of the three became part of the scientific mainstream. Sea serpent sightings could not be corroborated by physical evidence. Phrenology's claims about brain localization were eventually disproven.
3) However, the document argues that examining these marginal sciences provides insights into the nature and development of science. They illustrate how scientific ideas emerge and change over time and the types of evidence needed to establish a field of study.

This document discusses the history and historiography of scientific exploration and evolutionism in the American tropics, particularly Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. It outlines four stages in the historiography: 1) Early universalist and descriptive histories that emphasized European explorers; 2) Reception histories that examined local dynamics; 3) Histories focusing on international networks and new social actors like local scientists; 4) Recent global and STS-influenced histories that examine circulation of ideas and situate science in local contexts. The historiography has moved from internalist narratives to more critical social histories that reveal previously invisible local actors and knowledge traditions, and analyze science as a power relation embedded in colonialism.

Heritage Building in North-
eastern Pennsylvania
By Paul A. Shackel and V. Camille
Westmont
University of Maryland
Introduction
Since 2009, the Anthracite Heritage Pro-
ject has focused on social issues in
Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA).
NEPA is a resource rich, economically
poor area located in the northernmost
reaches of the Appalachian Region.
While anthracite coal was discovered in
this region in the late eighteenth century,
large scale extraction of this carbon fos-
sil fuel did not occur until the middle of
the nineteenth century with the develop-
ment of railroads and canal systems. It is
the fuel that helped propel American
industry to become an international
leader in manufacturing. Our goal in this
project is to study the rise and fall of the
anthracite coal industry, and to address
inequities in the community, past and
present, related to work, labor, gender,
race, and immigration.
The NEPA communities, including
the city of Hazleton, the focus of our
study, developed in the mid-nineteenth
century with a massive influx of newly
arrived foreign immigrants who were
necessary for the extraction of coal. This
migration also created a ready workforce
with more available workers than jobs.
Surplus labor allowed the coal operators
to keep wages relatively low with the
threat that there were always willin.
Negrito Race: The Ultimate Link of Filipinos to the World
This document discusses the Negrito race in the Philippines and their significance as some of the earliest settlers of the country. It provides background on pioneering anthropologists who studied Negritos and earliest accounts of pygmies. It also summarizes the distribution and lifestyle of Negrito groups in the Philippines, noting how they have become more acculturated over time through relationships with non-Negrito peoples while maintaining aspects of their distinct identity and culture. The document aims to establish Negritos as an important link connecting Filipinos to the rest of the world's populations.
Unit 8: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel aims to explain why some civilizations have conquered others through environmental and geographical factors rather than intellectual or genetic superiority. The book traces the unequal development of technologies like agriculture, writing and metal tools among societies, which led to imbalances of power by 1500 CE. Diamond argues that differences in potential crops and animals for domestication, along with the orientation of continents, contributed to uneven rates of technological progress and disease resistance between Eurasian and other societies over thousands of years. While geography influenced history, Diamond acknowledges there are still unanswered questions about the ultimate causes behind these global disparities.
Education as a Tool of Liberation from Corrupt Leadership in Africa: A Compar...
This document provides a summary and analysis of Plato's Allegory of the Cave and Julius Nyerere's Allegory of the Mountain. Both allegories view education as a tool for liberation. In Plato's allegory, prisoners represent ignorant people who see only shadows, while the escaped prisoner comes to understand true reality. Nyerere's allegory depicts people living in a valley facing challenges, while reaching the mountain's peak allows one to see clearly and help others. The document argues that education can liberate Africa from poor leadership, by analyzing how the allegories promote education as liberating people from ignorance.
Innovation effect
Tool design is a key factor in rolling mill performance, as poor design can lead to poor control of tool wear and production delays. Fine-tuning tool design using a Roll Pass Design Algorithm can minimize resource consumption and costs while increasing productivity and quality, saving millions of dollars in potential production disruption costs each year.
Innovation Spuzic
This document discusses using knowledge discovery from rolling mill records to optimize roll pass design (RPD). Contemporary trends in manufacturing demand higher productivity while improving sustainability. RPD complexity depends on expectations like energy/duration efficiency or microstructure processing. RPD must account for gradual groove wear over time. Records can be translated into a data matrix incorporating key performance indicators. Optimization can then identify optimum RPD parameter values. Benefits include more stable processes, increased roll life, productivity and reliability with reduced costs and resource consumption.
Science fiction
The Visitors who belonged with an entirely different phylogeny, the highly developed race of some system of evolution from the infinitely distant past, became aware of signs of the rarest phenomenon in the Universe - Intelligence. During a period of several centuries, the involvement of Visitors was in the role of invisible observers. They did not intervene, or become involved with subjects of their study. But when the course of Planet Earth turned towards the catastrophe, they decided to step in, and help save at least some members of the human race.

Roll Pass Design strategy
1) Roll pass design (RPD) is an important factor for process efficiency, product quality, and resource consumption in hot steel rolling mills. Optimizing RPD can help reduce costs and improve productivity.
2) Scientists analyze large databases of RPDs and rolling parameters to find statistical patterns and relationships hidden within. Generic mathematical functions can be used to define roll groove geometries to aid analysis.
3) The paper presents examples of using generic functions to analyze RPD cases for symmetrical sections. Statistical analysis of past RPD data using the functions can provide insights to optimize existing RPDs and aid in developing new improved RPDs.

Engineering Design Notes
Engineering Design is an iterative decision-making process used to devise a component, product, process, or system to meet the needs and functions desired by the user in a sustainable manner.
Engineering Design Notes
Engineering design is an iterative process that applies science and problem solving techniques to modify or create something to meet predefined objectives. The basic stages include establishing objectives and criteria, analysis, synthesis, defining manufacturing techniques, usage, maintenance, and disposal. The design process involves understanding the problem, generating alternative solutions, evaluating alternatives against requirements, deciding on solutions, and communicating results through documentation. Safety, sustainability, and strategic questions are important aspects to consider throughout the design process.
SpuzicStevensAbhary
Following the concerns prompted by the lack of technological expertise, it is proposed that education be further enhanced by promoting entrepreneurial links between Manufacturing and Academe. Students should be fully employed in real manufacturing systems over an extended period of their study. There should be no dilution of academic disciplines; however, university education should be counterbalanced by direct industrial experience.

A statistical approach to defect detection and discrimination has been applied to the case of hot rolled steel. The
probability distribution of pixel intensities has been estimated from a small set of images without defects, and
this distribution is used to select pixels with unlikely values as candidates for defects. Discrimination of true
defects from random noise pixels is achieved by a dynamical thresholding procedure, which tracks the behaviour
of clusters of selected pixels for varying threshold level.
Lexicon
This presentation aspires to pinpoint the necessity of eliminating homonyms and synonyms. It attempts to illustrate the impact of misinforming that results from lexical disorder within the context of cross-disciplinary transfer of knowledge, standards setting and global business communication. The examples of homonyms and synonyms that have been observed to cause misinterpretations are presented. The genuine need for introducing a multidisciplinary transparent lexicon is advocated. A definition of a term "definition" is presented. Exemplary definitions are provided as models of transparent lexical terms. It is recommended that a hierarchy of terminology be adopted, giving the most fundamental disciplines the priority, and making sure that the other disciplines conform. A properly defined term is an information probability intensifier.
Lexicon Disambiguation1
This document summarizes a transcript from the PEMT '06 conference discussing challenges with terminology across disciplines and proposes approaches to address ambiguities. It notes how knowledge evolution has led to specialized terminology that may only be understood by experts, hindering cross-disciplinary communication. Defining terms unambiguously is important for knowledge management. The document provides examples of ambiguous terms like homonyms and synonyms and proposes establishing a transparent, inter-disciplinary lexicon using fundamental disciplines like physics and mathematics to prioritize terms. It emphasizes the need to review scientific terminology to remove ambiguity and proposes criteria to clearly define terms.

Processes based on fluidity and solidification, or simply “casting”, include manufacturing techniques whereby molten material is poured or forced into a mould and allowed to harden. Appropriate variants of this technique are particularly suitable for the economical production of complex shapes, ranging from mass-produced parts for the automotive industry to one-of-a-kind production of jewellery or massive machinery.

Roll Pass Design strategy
1) Roll pass design (RPD) is an important factor for process efficiency, product quality, and resource consumption in hot steel rolling mills. Optimizing RPD can help reduce costs and improve productivity.
2) Scientists analyze large databases of RPDs and rolling parameters to find statistical patterns and relationships hidden within. Generic mathematical functions can be used to define roll groove geometries to aid analysis.
3) The paper presents examples of using generic functions to analyze RPD cases for symmetrical sections. Statistical analysis of past RPD data using the functions can provide insights to optimize existing RPDs and aid in developing new improved RPDs.

Engineering Design Notes
Engineering Design is an iterative decision-making process used to devise a component, product, process, or system to meet the needs and functions desired by the user in a sustainable manner.
Engineering Design Notes
Engineering design is an iterative process that applies science and problem solving techniques to modify or create something to meet predefined objectives. The basic stages include establishing objectives and criteria, analysis, synthesis, defining manufacturing techniques, usage, maintenance, and disposal. The design process involves understanding the problem, generating alternative solutions, evaluating alternatives against requirements, deciding on solutions, and communicating results through documentation. Safety, sustainability, and strategic questions are important aspects to consider throughout the design process.

Following the concerns prompted by the lack of technological expertise, it is proposed that education be further enhanced by promoting entrepreneurial links between Manufacturing and Academe. Students should be fully employed in real manufacturing systems over an extended period of their study. There should be no dilution of academic disciplines; however, university education should be counterbalanced by direct industrial experience.

A statistical approach to defect detection and discrimination has been applied to the case of hot rolled steel. The
probability distribution of pixel intensities has been estimated from a small set of images without defects, and
this distribution is used to select pixels with unlikely values as candidates for defects. Discrimination of true
defects from random noise pixels is achieved by a dynamical thresholding procedure, which tracks the behaviour
of clusters of selected pixels for varying threshold level.
Lexicon
This presentation aspires to pinpoint the necessity of eliminating homonyms and synonyms. It attempts to illustrate the impact of misinforming that results from lexical disorder within the context of cross-disciplinary transfer of knowledge, standards setting and global business communication. The examples of homonyms and synonyms that have been observed to cause misinterpretations are presented. The genuine need for introducing a multidisciplinary transparent lexicon is advocated. A definition of a term "definition" is presented. Exemplary definitions are provided as models of transparent lexical terms. It is recommended that a hierarchy of terminology be adopted, giving the most fundamental disciplines the priority, and making sure that the other disciplines conform. A properly defined term is an information probability intensifier.
Lexicon Disambiguation1
This document summarizes a transcript from the PEMT '06 conference discussing challenges with terminology across disciplines and proposes approaches to address ambiguities. It notes how knowledge evolution has led to specialized terminology that may only be understood by experts, hindering cross-disciplinary communication. Defining terms unambiguously is important for knowledge management. The document provides examples of ambiguous terms like homonyms and synonyms and proposes establishing a transparent, inter-disciplinary lexicon using fundamental disciplines like physics and mathematics to prioritize terms. It emphasizes the need to review scientific terminology to remove ambiguity and proposes criteria to clearly define terms.

Processes based on fluidity and solidification, or simply “casting”, include manufacturing techniques whereby molten material is poured or forced into a mould and allowed to harden. Appropriate variants of this technique are particularly suitable for the economical production of complex shapes, ranging from mass-produced parts for the automotive industry to one-of-a-kind production of jewellery or massive machinery.
Example1
A couple of equal and opposite forces F acting on a cuboid keep it at rest. To calculate the normal nominal stress on cross-section A in the middle of the cuboid, it is assumed that the cuboid is stiff, made of a continuous, isotropic, and homogeneous material, and the stress is equally distributed on cross-section A.
Water Desalination Idea
This document proposes a "Rain Farm" method for desalination that uses evaporation and condensation driven by solar energy. Pilot experiments showed temperatures inside glass evaporation cylinders exceeding 40°C, producing 2-10 ml/hour of desalinated water. The document discusses optimizing cylinder design to maximize evaporation and condensation surfaces while minimizing costs. Several potential designs are presented, aiming to enhance the greenhouse effect and water collection efficiency.
Materials Related Nomenture
The document discusses terminology issues in sharing materials-related knowledge. It provides examples of ambiguous concepts and terms that hinder effective communication, such as "term", "terminology", "technique" and "technology", and "iron". The document proposes disambiguated definitions for these terms to clarify their meanings and avoid misunderstandings like circularity, prolixity, and homonymy. A strategy is suggested to use transparent concepts from basic disciplines like mathematics and chemistry to develop a standardized terminology.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Advertising Sci-Fi novel The 4th Birth.pdf
- 1. The 4th Birth – Part 1 (sample is at https://the-4th-birth.weebly.com/) This inspiring novel, grounded in the concept of education driven by learners' curiosity, incorporates hyperlinks into its science-fiction narrative. These hidden links (can be found by hovering the cursor over the text) guide readers towards a variety of credible scientific and educational resources, offering a level of freedom and choice that traditional print novels cannot match. The opening story, 'The 4th Birth,' seemingly revolves around the Lemurians, an ancient race believed to have existed prior to and during the mysterious era of Atlantis. Some authors assert that this civilization, also known as Lapita or Mu - Motherland, emerged some 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, primarily in the South-West Pacific, between China and Australia. The Lemurians experienced alternating periods of peace, prosperity, conflict, and crises over millennia, all the while making significant strides in culture, politics, science, and technology, causing only minor ecological disturbances. At the zenith of their civilization, the Lemurian people were technologically advanced and profoundly spiritual. Yet, they remained oblivious to the impending cataclysm orchestrated by indifferent Nature. Meanwhile, according to fragments of certain legends, an older and arguably more mature civilization observed these events alongside the Lemurians and several neighbouring nations consumed by their efforts to subjugate one another.
