The different phases resulting from culture changes, illustrated by my personal experience
2 U-curve of adjustment. The idea is quite simple: if the level of adjustment, adaptation and well-being over time is drawn, a U- shape appears. Upon tasting the new culture he is in good spirits, but gradually encounters more and more problems eventually leading to the lowest point of despair and disappointment. In the middle of the crisis (cultur e shock), there seems to be no way out. The student has hit the botto...

III GAUGES The gauge of track is the distance between the inner edges of the rails at points 1.59 cm (0.626 in) below the top of the heads. In the United States, Canada, theUnited Kingdom, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, and much of continental Europe, the standard gauge is 143.51 cm (56.5 in). Why this measurement became the standard isa matter of speculation. Probably the tradition is inherited from early tramroads built to accommodate wagons with axles 1.5 m (5 ft) long; some of the early edge rail...

Geometry
I
INTRODUCTION
Geometry, branch of mathematics that deals with shapes and sizes.
Conic sections, a commonly studied topic of geometry, are two-dimensional curves created by slicing a plane through a three-dimensional hollow cone. A Euclid’s Postulates Euclid, who lived about 300 BC, realized that only a small number of postulates underlay the various geometric theorems known at the time. He determined that these theorems could be deduced from just five postulates. 1. A straight line may be drawn through any two given points. 2. A straight line may be drawn infinitely or be...

INTRODUCTION
Limits
This graph, which charts the function f(x)=1x, shows that the value of the function approaches zero as x becomes larger
and larger.
DerivativesThe derivative of a function at a given point is equal to the slope of the line that is tangent to the function at that givenpoint. In this example, the derivative of f(x) at x0 is defined as the slope of AB in the limit of h going to zero. As hbecomes increasingly smaller, B moves along the curve towards A, and AB increasingly approximates T, the tangent to thecurve at x0.© Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

carácter positivo (anteclise), y desciende otras, basculamiento considerado de tipo negativo (sineclise). La geodinámica externa o geomorfología dinámica se encarga de examinar todos los fenómenos y procesos exteriores a la corteza terrestre que concurren en la formacióndel relieve, conocidos como erosión y meteorización (alteración sin transporte). Diversos agentes contribuyen al desarrollo de estos procesos externos: agua en susdiferentes estados, variaciones de temperatura, viento, organismos...

INTRODUCCIÓN
Mappa Mundi, catedral de Hereford
El Mappa Mundi realizado por Ricardo de Haldingham, el prebendado de Hereford, es un elaborado mapa del mundo, con un tamaño
de 165 cm de largo por 135 cm de ancho.

Los principales elementos del mapa son la leyenda y la escala. Para que un mapa pueda contener gran cantidad de información de fácil lectura debe reflejar en la leyenda un sistema de símbolos arbitrarios o convencionales y debeelaborarse siguiendo un uso adecuado de los colores. Muchos de estos se utilizan con tanta frecuencia que son aceptados por todo...

IV INFLATION For several decades after World War II (1939-1945) the main inflation theories were demand-pull and cost-push. The cost-push theory basically emphasized the role ofexcessive increases in wages relative to productivity increases as a cause of inflation, whereas the demand-pull theory tended to attribute inflation more to excessdemand in the goods market caused by expansion of the money supply. A central concept in inflationary theory since the mid-1950s has been the Phillips curve...

Isaac NewtonIINTRODUCTIONIsaac Newton (1642-1727), English physicist, mathematician, and natural philosopher, considered one of the most important scientists of all time.
B Calculus (Newton’s “Fluxional Method”) In 1669 Newton gave his Trinity mathematics professor Isaac Barrow an important manuscript, which is generally known by its shortened Latin title, De Analysi . This work contained many of Newton’s conclusions about calculus (what Newton called his “fluxional method”). Although the paper was not immediately published, Barrowmade its results known to several of the leading mathematicians of Britain and Europe. This paper established Newton as one of the...

beta, for example, might be as large as 0.5, and the mass of the electron doubled. The mass of a rapidly moving electron could be easily determined by measuring thecurvature produced in its path by a magnetic field; the heavier the electron, the greater its inertia and the less the curvature produced by a given strength of field ( see Magnetism). Experimentation dramatically confirmed Einstein's prediction; the electron increased in mass by exactly the amount he predicted. Thus, the kinetic ener...

INTRODUCTION
Water Molecule
A water molecule consists of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are attached at an angle of 105°.
spontaneously break apart and change, or decay, into other atoms. Unlike electrons, which are fundamental particles, protons and neutrons are made up of other, smaller particles called quarks. Physicists know of six different quarks.Neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks —two of the six different kinds of quarks. The fanciful names of quarks have nothing to do with their properties; the names are simply labels to distinguish one quark from another. Quarks are unique amo...
