U10 scientific revolution
The document discusses key figures and developments during the Scientific Revolution. It describes how Ptolemy viewed the universe as geocentric, while Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model contradicting Ptolemy. Galileo used a telescope to observe celestial bodies and confirm Copernicus' theories. Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey used human dissection to disprove some of Galen's principles and describe the circulatory system. The Scientific Revolution changed the deductive approach to the scientific method championed by Sir Francis Bacon, using experimentation and observation. Rene Descartes further changed the view of the universe as mechanical rather than living and spiritual.
history of anatomy
The history of anatomy extends from early examinations of sacrificial victims in ancient Egypt to modern scientific analyses. Over time, understanding of organ and body structure functions has continually developed. In ancient Egypt and Greece, early anatomists like Alcmaeon began the first scientific dissections and discoveries about structures like the brain, heart, and blood vessels. Galen's 2nd century AD dissections of apes and pigs informed his influential works on anatomy, though some theories like blood flow were later found to be incorrect. Anatomical study declined in the Middle Ages but resumed with innovations like Vesalius' cadaver dissections in the 16th century and Harvey's discovery of blood circulation. Modern anatomy applies new technologies to further understand structure
Science
Biology is the science that studies living things, their evolution, and life processes. It includes the study of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. The term "biology" was introduced in 1802 and immediately adopted to refer to the study of life and living organisms.
Physics is the fundamental scientific discipline that seeks to understand the universe by studying matter, motion and force. It connects ideas about symmetry, conservation of energy, momentum, charge and parity. Physics can be defined as understanding the natural order of events and the behavior of the universe. It is a very old field of study that includes astronomy and helped develop calculus and new technologies.
Computer science is the study of computational systems and their principles

It provides biographical information and contributions of scientists such as al-Jazari (1206), who invented devices like the camshaft and crankshaft. It also discusses Ibn al-Haytham (965-1040) who studied optics and vision, and is considered the father of modern optics. Additionally, it mentions Mariam al-Astrulabi (10th century) who developed sophisticated astrolabes that were precursors to modern compasses and satellites. The document highlights many important Muslim scientists and their significant scientific works throughout early Islamic history.
History of physiology
- Physiology is the scientific study of normal mechanisms and interactions within living systems. The study of human physiology as a medical field dates back to Hippocrates in 420 BC. Key figures who advanced the field include Aristotle, Galen, Fernel, Bernard, and Cannon.
- In the 19th century, knowledge in physiology began accumulating rapidly with cell theory and Bernard's concept of homeostasis. Major 20th century developments included comparative physiology and ecophysiology. Indian scientists like Paintal, Khorana, and Anand made important discoveries in neuroscience, genetics, and neurophysiology.

The document summarizes the Scientific Revolution, which established modern science. It discusses key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, and how they challenged Aristotle's geocentric model and developed the heliocentric model and laws of motion and gravity. The Scientific Revolution established empiricism and the scientific method. It led to advances in fields like astronomy, physics, chemistry, anatomy, and more. The Royal Societies also supported the exchange of new scientific ideas. Overall, the Scientific Revolution transformed how people viewed the world and pursued knowledge.
The scientific revolution
The Scientific Revolution began in the late 1300s-1500s with the Renaissance and Reformation which led to the rediscovery of ancient learning and challenges to traditional thinking. In the late 1400s-1600s, the Age of Exploration resulted in the discovery of new lands, people, flora, and fauna. During the mid-1500s-1700s, the Scientific Revolution brought new explanations of nature. Key figures like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, and Boyle helped establish the heliocentric model of the solar system and develop the scientific method through observations, experimentation, and mathematics.

Physical science
Science is defined as a body of systematically organized facts that serves as the basis for discovering general truths about the world. The main goals of science are to understand and explain the natural world, answer questions, and solve problems. While science seeks facts, it does not always reach absolute truth. Pure science aims to gain knowledge, while applied science puts scientific theories into practical use. Key periods in the history of science include ancient times, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and modern times. Major advances have included theories of motion, gravity, evolution, cells, genetics, and relativity.
Chapter 8 section 1 power point
The Scientific Revolution began as natural philosophers in the 15th-16th centuries began to abandon ancient authorities like Aristotle and instead make their own observations. Developments like the printing press and new instruments helped spread ideas. Thinkers applied mathematics to understand nature, including Copernicus proposing a sun-centered universe, Kepler discovering elliptical orbits, and Galileo's telescopic discoveries supporting Copernicus. Isaac Newton then defined universal laws of motion and gravitation, dominating the worldview until Einstein. Anatomists like Vesalius and Harvey also improved on Galen's models, while philosophers like Descartes and Bacon emphasized reason and the scientific method.
The history of science
The history of science is the study of the development of science and scientific knowledge, including both the natural sciences and social sciences. (The history of the arts and humanities is termed as the history of scholarship.) Science is a body of empirical, theoretical, and practical knowledge about the natural world, produced by scientists who emphasize the observation, explanation, and prediction of real world phenomena. Historiography of science, in contrast, studies the methods by which historians study the history of science.
The English word scientist is relatively recent—first coined by William Whewell in the 19th century.[1] Previously, people investigating nature called themselves "natural philosophers". While empirical investigations of the natural world have been described since classical antiquity (for example, by Thales and Aristotle), and scientific method has been employed since the Middle Ages (for example, by Ibn al-Haytham and Roger Bacon), modern science began to develop in the early modern period, and in particular in the scientific revolution of 16th- and 17th-century Europe.[2] Traditionally, historians of science have defined science sufficiently broadly to include those earlier inquiries.[3]
From the 18th century through late 20th century, the history of science, especially of the physical and biological sciences, was often presented in a progressive narrative in which true theories replaced false beliefs.[4] Some more recent historical interpretations, such as those of Thomas Kuhn, tend to portray the history of science in different terms, such as that of competing paradigms or conceptual systems in a wider matrix that includes intellectual, cultural, economic and political themes outside of science
History of anatomy
The document discusses the history of human anatomy from ancient times to the Renaissance. It describes how early Greek thinkers like Alcmaeon, Empedocles, and Hippocrates began the intellectual development of anatomy by studying animal anatomy and making inferences about the human body. Aristotle made important contributions through his work in comparative anatomy and embryology. However, the greatest advances were made by Herophilus and Galen during the 3rd century BC in Alexandria, where they were the first to conduct formal human dissections and describe anatomical structures. The Renaissance brought a revival of anatomical study building on the work of these early pioneers.
Intellectual revolutions
The document discusses intellectual revolutions that defined society, focusing on scientific revolutions from the 14th to 18th centuries in Europe. It describes how early philosophers developed ideas about the natural world, and how the scientific revolution challenged existing religious views and established the scientific method. The revolution transformed society by establishing science as a discipline and field of inquiry, and shifting views about the relationship between humanity, nature, and the cosmos from geocentric to heliocentric models. Key figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler played important roles in this intellectual transformation through their scientific theories and observations.
Scientific revolutionpowerpoint
During the Scientific Revolution of the 1500s, scientists like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton made important contributions that changed views of the universe and established the scientific method. Copernicus proposed that the Earth revolved around the Sun, contradicting the Church's teachings. Kepler proved Copernicus right and also discovered elliptical orbits. Galileo improved the telescope and made observations supporting Copernicus, but got in trouble with the Church. Newton discovered gravity and laws of motion and established classical mechanics. Their work fundamentally transformed science and thinking.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaHow to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
