- 4082: Descartes 2
- It took Descartes a long time before he realized how many false beliefs and assumptions he had from his childhood. To start over with a new mind set, he had to totally rid himself of assuming things been true or things that he had not questioned but had rather accepted as a truth. Descartes waited for a when he was retired ... on another argument which I shall call the dreaming argument. The dreaming argument is centered around differentiating our awakened mind from sleep. Descartes uses this technique and builds upon it to show that an external world doesnt exist. Descartes makes a good argument by using scenarios which happen to everyone whilst having a dream. Descartes believes that our dreams usually represent unclear settings of ourselves and while not in a ... real situation. Descartes hammers his point here by saying that if we cant clearly differentiate from the onset reality from a dream clearly and accurately then can we truly make a distinction between our world and an external world.

It is a pandemic the likes of which the world has always feared to see. The HIV virus comes in several varieties, yet they kill basically the same. Our understanding of this virus and how it works is essential to finding its cure, and to ... preventing its spread. Who it affects and the reasons for its spreading are also important to fight against it. And finally, what can be done to treat and prevent it is essential. According to the World Health Organization we began to see what AIDS truly was in the late 1970s to early 80s, mostly in men and women with multiple sex partners located in East and Central Africa, but ... 11.7 million were dead because of it, and 2.7 of those million were under the age of 15. More recently a report from the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS(UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization(WHO) stated that 50% of the 5.8 million newly infected people in 1998 were in the age group of 15-24. These are frightening statistics, because now HIV has become the ...
- 4084: Atm Network
- ... network resources. Computer technology advances created the ability for faster information processing and therefore the need for faster communication systems. Specific data networks were introduced such as packet switched data networks (PSDNs), to meet the new service requirements. In the early 1970's, high bit rate digital time division multiplexing (TDM) systems were realized, allowing multiple high speed digital connections on a single line. The requirement for the integration of voice ... a single network capable of supporting all required communications services is at the core of the current movement of communications evolution. The ATM design has been influenced by the performance requirements of the B ISDN, new wideband teleservice requirements and networking technology advancements. By considering all these factors, it can be shown why the ITU T accepts ATM as the ultimate solution for B ISDN. ATM has grown out of the ... Area Network (LAN), versus "users" on the Wide Area Network (WAN). This situation has added to the complexity of networking as user' s needs for connectivity expand from the LAN to metropolitan, national, and finally world wide connectivity. ATM is a method of communication which can be used as the basis for both LAN and WAN technologies. Over time, as ATM continues to be deployed, the line between local and ...
- 4085: Engineering
- ... engineers had to devise a way to lift the ponderous stones and place them where they were needed. Engineering has many applications, and is one of the most widely used and needed professions in the world. The building of the great pyramids is just one small facet of engineering. Engineering is not one broad profession but is a profession consisting of several specialized branches. Historically, engineering can be divided into four ... Revolution. Mechanical engineering is a direct offshoot of the Industrial Revolution. With inventions of machines such as the steam engine and the locomotive, there became a need for an advanced field to develop and produce new and complex machines. The newest of the four main engineering disciplines is chemical engineering. This is a field involving the conversion of fossil fuels such as oil and petroleum into products we use in our ... obsolete. In the late 1960s integrated circuits changed the field of computer engineering. Integrated circuits are tiny transistors and other electrical components arranged on a single silicon chip. Future refinements and breakthroughs in the world of computing led to the development of the modern microprocessor. Now modern microprocessors contain as many as ten million transistors. Computer companies used this new technology to build smaller and cheaper computers. This allowed ...

Unix is not a single operating system; it refers to a family of operating systems which includes AIX, BSDI, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Pyramid, SCO, Solaris, SunOS, just to ... set of instructions for large mainframe computers in order to control the hardware resources of the mainframe. Thereafter, they have been developed to run on smaller and smaller computers, first mini computers then on the new personal computers (PC). But, the main job of the OS was the same, a layer between the hardware and the user. The main reason for having an OS is for the application programmers to have ... the OS is to perform file management. This allows applications to read or write to disk, regardless of the hardware being used or how it is stored. Without this feature programmers would have to write new programs for every different type of hardware and every different type of hardware configuration. However, Microsoft Windows is the dominant PC OS, so most of the applications written today are written for the Windows ...
- 4088: Atlantis: We Will Never Know
- Fantasy is a tough sell in the twentieth century. The world has been fully discovered and fully mapped. Popular media has effectively minimized the legend and the fantastic rumor, though to make up for this it has generated falsities not as lavish but just as interesting.

But standing out is a charming fantasy the modern world has yet to verify or condemn: the lost continent of Atlantis. The father of the modern world's perception of Atlantis is Plato (circa 428-circa 347 b.c.). The Greek philosopher spoke in his works Timaeus and Critias of a continent in the Atlantic ocean larger than Africa and Asia ...
