The three intelligences

When we say someone is intelligent, we usually equate this intelligence with book smarts or being able to achieve academically. According to the [Pg.59]


In a binary diagram the position of the three-phase line can be calculated utilising a method whereby the step size is changed when a phase boundary is reached. For example, the calculation begins with an alloy in the (a 4- 0) phase held. The temperature is increased by 10°C steps and its composition maintained so that it exists in the (a + 0) phase field. At each new step the stability of the liquid is checked. Once the liquid becomes stable the previous temperature is used as a start point and the temperature step is decreased. This process is repeated with subsequent decreased step sizes until a the temperature is defined within a critical step size. This method is cumbersome and more intelligent searching routines can be used. But in the end the temperature will be defined within a critical step size. Alternatively, the temperature where the activity/chemical potential of A and B in the three phases is equal can be explicitly calculated. [Pg.296]

In the Pythagorean school, 10 was considered the perfect number. To represent the numerical intelligence of the universe, the Pythagoreans constructed a triangular arraignment of 10 dots with one at the top, two on the second layer, three on the third, and four at the base. This symbol was called the Tetractys, and the Pythagoreans considered it sacred (see Figure 2.5). The Tetractys expressed the... [Pg.49]

Compelling visualization is a defining characteristic of modem software. The three-dimensional models of atomistic simulations in particular are very effective in nurturing an intuitive sense for molecular systems. Operating an apparently intelligent, interactive, and very visual piece of software also offers students a steady stream of motivational experiences—a benefit appreciated by any instructor. [Pg.218]

The three points discussed above for framing the solution, coupled with the inherent limitations on intelligence related to CW and BW threats, are consistent with a central theme of the 2001 QDR—a shift of emphasis to capabilities-based planning. This shift... [Pg.29]

Boyle s arguments were especially aimed at the four elements of Aristotle and the three principles (Sulphur, Salt, and Mercury) of the Paracelsians. Anyone could claim to have resolved bodies into sulphur, salt, and mercury, but what types of substances were these Did sulphur mean the marketplace stuff, or was it a reference to a kind of combustible principle Moreover, he noted, there was no real agreement among Paracelsian chemists as to which properties these principles were responsible for in mixed bodies. I could easily prosecute the imperfections of the vulgar chymists philosophy, says Boyle, and shew you, that by going about to explicate by their three principles. .. all the abstruse properties of mixed bodies [and] even such obvious and more familiar phenomena as fluidity and firmness. . . chymists will be much more likely to discredit themselves and their hypothesis, than satisfy an intelligent inquirer after truth (pp. 163-164). [Pg.143]
