query: what are terms of reference in a project

pos: Terms of reference Terms of reference Terms of reference (TOR) define the purpose and structures of a project, committee, meeting, negotiation, or any similar collection of people who have agreed to work together to accomplish a shared goal. Although the terms of reference of a project are often referred to as the project charter, there are significant differences between the two. This article will describe the importance of a TOR containing detailed definitions however, a project charter is defined as containing high-level requirements, assumptions, constraints and descriptions as well as a budget summary without detail and a milestone-only schedule. Terms of reference show

neg: Terms of reference how the object in question will be defined, developed, and verified. They should also provide a documented basis for making future decisions and for confirming or developing a common understanding of the scope among stakeholders. In order to meet these criteria, success factors/risks and constraints are fundamental. They are very important for project proposals. Creating detailed terms of reference is critical, as they define the: TORs should include: The terms of reference are created during the earlier stages of project management by the founders of the project in question, immediately after the approval of a project business case. They are

neg: Terms of reference documented by the project manager and presented to the project sponsor or sponsors for approval. Once the terms have been approved, the members of the project team have a clear definition of the scope of the project. They will then be ready to progress with implementing the remaining project deliverables. This phrase "terms of reference" often refers to the task(s) assigned to a consultant or advisor. Such a consultant or advisor may be engaged via a contract with general terms of engagement that also incorporate the terms of reference that specifically describe the consultant's task. Terms of reference Terms of

neg: Project charter Project charter In project management, a project charter, project definition, or project statement is a statement of the scope, objectives, and participants in a project. It provides a preliminary delineation of roles and responsibilities, outlines the project objectives, identifies the main stakeholders, and defines the authority of the project manager. It serves as a reference of authority for the future of the project. The terms of reference are usually part of the project charter. A project charter should: The project charter is usually a short document that refers to more detailed documents such as a new offering request or a

neg: Archaeology in Ontario and decisions on projects are created. In many instances an environmental assessment determines the need for an archaeological assessment, and it is completed as part of the overall environmental assessment process, this is a result of any public development project, land changing activities, and all land own by the Province of Ontario. An environment assessment is conducted after the terms of reference is approved which relates to a general proposal of a project and preliminary involvement and cooperation with organizations and communities that will be affected by the development. The environmental assessment is the proposal after the terms of reference

neg: Project Initiation Documentation often contains the following: A Project Charter could be created instead of a PID; the two document types are highly similar. But a Project Charter is less detailed, which makes it more suitable for cases in which content producers are less available. The Project Initiation Documentation is a PRINCE2 term representing the plan of approach in project management. It is assembled from a series of other documents, including the business case, the Terms of Reference, the communication plan, the risk register, the Project Tolerances, the project plan, and any specific project controls or inspections as part of a departmental quality

neg: Smile (The Beach Boys album) the project the way they did without thinking of it in cartoon terms: "To me, it was a musical cartoon, and Frank showed that, without being told anything. There is "some" reference: Frank was supposed to do something 'light-hearted', but there were no specific instructions and he came up with the perfect video vessel for realizing what we were doing, something I thought was an integral part of the situation. I think that still stands; I think of "Smile" in visual terms." Capitol later added the repeated written instances of "Good Vibrations" on the album cover, which were not featured

neg: Definitions of mathematics divisions geometry, arithmetic, and algebra. The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols. The science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. Bertrand Russell wrote this famous tongue-in-cheek definition, describing the way all terms in mathematics are ultimately defined by reference to undefined terms: The subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. Many other attempts to characterize mathematics have led to humor or poetic prose: A mathematician

neg: Darwin Core sharing of information about biological diversity by providing reference definitions, examples, and commentaries. The Darwin Core is primarily based on taxa, their occurrence in nature as documented by observations, specimens, and samples, and related information. Included in the standard are documents describing how these terms are managed, how the set of terms can be extended for new purposes, and how the terms can be used. The Simple Darwin Core is a specification for one particular way to use the terms and to share data about taxa and their occurrences in a simply-structured way. It is likely what is meant if

neg: Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilia is and what is not attractive (their "lovemap"). Attempting to accommodate the extraordinary experience into an acceptable mental frame of reference, the future adult may "triumph" over it by use of a logic whereby the terms of reference commonly associated with it are reversed. Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilia Stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilias are desires whose objects "become eligible" to be desired "because of", rather than "despite", a stigma which they bear. The manifold manifestations of these paraphilias cover the broadest range of physical, intimate and social circumstance. In the context of a stigmatic-eligibilic paraphilia, what is considered repulsive, unsuitable, prohibited, abnormal or taboo by

neg: Color temperature exponential terms, considerably extends the applicable range by adding a second epicenter for high color temperatures: where "n" is as before and the other constants are defined below: The inverse calculation, from color temperature to corresponding chromaticity coordinates, is discussed in Planckian locus. The CIE color rendering index (CRI) is a method to determine how well a light source's illumination of eight sample patches compares to the illumination provided by a reference source. Cited together, the CRI and CCT give a numerical estimate of what reference (ideal) light source best approximates a particular artificial light, and what the difference is.

neg: Naturalistic fallacy thought which are themselves incapable of definition, because they are the ultimate terms by reference to which whatever 'is' capable of definition must be defined". On the other hand, ethical naturalists eschew such principles in favor of a more empirically accessible analysis of what it means to be good: for example, in terms of pleasure in the context of hedonism. In §7, Moore argues that a property is either a complex of simple properties, or else it is irreducibly simple. Complex properties can be defined in terms of their constituent parts but a simple property has no parts. In addition

neg: Ruth Millikan day's battle, the child wants to ride a unicorn, and the phrase "the greatest prime" is somehow 'about' a number that cannot possibly exist (there's a simple proof for this). As the name hints, Millikan's theory explains intentionality in terms that are broadly 'biological' or teleological. Specifically, she explains intentionality using the explanatory resources of natural selection: what thoughts and sentences and desires are 'about' is ultimately elucidated by reference to what has been selected and what it has been selected for (i.e., what advantage it conferred on ancestors who possessed it). Where this selection is non-intentional, then what it

neg: Geopotential model reference: also "P" are the Legendre polynomials and "P" for 1 ≤ "m" ≤ "n" are the associated Legendre functions. The first spherical harmonics with "n" = 0,1,2,3 are presented in the table below. The model for Earth's gravitational potential is a sum where formula_4 and the coordinates () are relative the standard geodetic reference system extended into space with origin in the center of the reference ellipsoid and with "z"-axis in the direction of the polar axis. The zonal terms refer to terms of the form: and the tesseral terms terms refer to terms of the form: The zonal

neg: Representational systems (NLP) reference the "visual" representation system; similarly the words "tinkling", "silent", "squeal" and "blast" reference the "auditory" representation system. Bandler and Grinder also propose that ostensibly metaphorical or figurative language indicates a reference to a representational system such that it is actually "literal". For example, the comment "I see what you're saying" is taken to indicate a visual representation. Further, Bandler and Grinder claim that each person has a "most highly valued" (now commonly termed "preferred") representational system in which they are more able to vividly create an experience (in their mind) in terms of that representational system, tend to use

neg: Charter A municipal corporation is the legal term for a local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to) cities, counties, towns, townships, charter townships, villages, and boroughs. Municipal incorporation occurs when such municipalities become self-governing entities under the laws of the state or province in which they are located. Often, this event is marked by the award or declaration of a municipal charter. Charters for chivalric orders and other orders, such as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. In project management, a project charter or project definition (sometimes called the terms of reference) is a statement of the scope, objectives

neg: English contract law law goes further than other European countries by requiring all parties bring something of value, known as "consideration", to a bargain as a precondition to enforce it. Contracts can be made personally or through an agent acting on behalf of a principal, if the agent acts within what a reasonable person would think they have the authority to do. In principle, English law grants people broad freedom to agree the content of a deal. Terms in an agreement are incorporated through express promises, by reference to other terms or potentially through a course of dealing between two parties. Those terms

neg: Means test means test is complex but generous and most debtors seem to have no trouble meeting its requirements, while others have suggested that the means test is not all that fair or equitable, and have somewhat cynically pointed out that the reference to consumer protection in the bankruptcy act is ironic at best, since those with primarily consumer debt are required to pass a means test while businesses are not. What is undeniable is that it is complex, and the terms that govern many parts of it - including those terms that control whether it applies at all - are of

neg: Eco-towns growth and to showcase good practice, with reference to community engagement, design, environmental sustainability and masterplanning. It carried forward a piece of research undertaken with Arup looking at the sustainability criteria for new settlement and urban extension options in the Cambridge and Stansted sub regions as part of the East of England draft regional spatial strategy 'Examination in Public' process. Some key terms of reference from this project are taken from the Barker Review. These include the following: The plans have proved controversial with campaigners saying the idea is a way to evade normal planning controls and bring forward schemes

neg: Solaris (2002 film) Sanchini and Jon Landau. Cameron was thrilled with what he heard and development began on the project. As "Traffic" was wrapping up, Soderbergh began drafting a script. Using both the 1972 film and the book as reference, the script allowed him to dig into various themes and subjects he wasn't able to come to terms with in his earlier films. Soon after, Soderbergh and Lightstorm took the story to 20th Century Fox. Soderbergh originally intended Daniel Day-Lewis to play the role of Chris Kelvin, but Day-Lewis was busy with Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" at the time. Since George

neg: Causal theory of reference known today. Michael Devitt claims that repeated groundings in an object can account for reference change. However, such a response leaves open the problem of cognitive significance that originally intrigued Russell and Frege. East Asians are more likely than Americans to have intuitions about reference in line with descriptivist theories. Causal theory of reference A causal theory of reference is a theory of how terms acquire specific referents based on evidence. Such theories have been used to describe many referring terms, particularly logical terms, proper names, and natural kind terms. In the case of names, for example, a causal theory

neg: Coding conventions of projects, particularly if they are large projects. The software engineering process is what runs the coding process to successful completion. Good software engineering can make the difference between a successful project - both in financial and engineering terms - and a project that is, at worst, dead on delivery. Good software engineering will minimise downstream costs and maximise the marketing success of the project. The following documents need to be produced: The project specifications all the way down to the test results form what is called a document chain. Each document has a 1:1 relationship to the previous document.

neg: Twinning institutional building tool events, awareness raising visits, etc. to accompany the reform process towards the targeted results. The Twinning project cycle is more demanding in terms of preparation and a specific competitive selection procedure is used for selection and evaluation of the potential MS partners. Policy Advice (incl. law drafting, advice on organisational issues, awareness raising, etc.), training, study tours and internships are among the activities eligible for Twinning projects. These activities, together with eligible costs for the Twinning project implementation and all relevant procedures are described in the Twinning Reference Manual. Twinning may be implemented as classic Twinning (up to 24 months)

neg: To be announced of the abbreviation "TBA" is formally reported in a reference work at least as early as 1955, and "TBD" is similarly reported as early as 1967. These various placeholder terms are often used to indicate to the public that a vacant position in a lineup of speakers, musicians, or other performers remains to be filled. The terms also frequently indicate that a creative work, such as an album or film, is forthcoming but that the date of release is not yet known. If the forthcoming project is not yet named, these placeholders may be used to indicate that the name

neg: Mechanics of planar particle motion expression above, the summation added to the force-side of the equation now is treated as if added "forces" were present. These summation terms are customarily called fictitious forces within this "coordinate" approach, although in this inertial frame of reference all "state-of-motion" fictitious forces are identically zero. Moreover, these "forces" do not transform under coordinate transformations as "vectors". Thus, the designation of the terms of the summation as "fictitious forces" uses this terminology for contributions that are completely different from any real force, and from the "state-of-motion" fictitious forces. What adds to this confusion is that these "coordinate" fictitious forces are

neg: Nature (philosophy) to discuss politics and human life in terms of "laws of nature". But in the new modern approach of Bacon and Hobbes, and before them Machiavelli (who however never clothed his criticism of the Aristotelian approach in medieval terms like "laws of nature"), such laws of nature are quite different to human laws: they no longer imply any sense of better or worse, but simply how things really are, and, when in reference to laws of "human" nature, what sorts of human behavior can be most relied upon. Having disconnected the term "law of nature" from the original medieval metaphor

neg: Mechanics of planar particle motion "measure" Ω and provide a test to see whether or not the frame is rotating, just as explained in the example of rotating identical spheres. If the particle's motion can be described by the observer using Newton's laws of motion "without" these Ω-dependent terms, the observer is in an inertial frame of reference where Ω=0. These "extra terms" in the acceleration of the particle are the "state of motion" fictitious forces for this rotating frame, the forces introduced by rotation of the frame at angular rate Ω. In this rotating frame, what are the "coordinate" fictitious forces? As before, suppose

neg: Single-sideband modulation double-sideband AM transmission, with the center term (now the primary audio term) at a 0 dB reference level, and both terms on either side of the primary sideband at −6 dB. The difference is that what appears to be the carrier has shifted by the audio-frequency term towards the "sideband in use". At levels below 100% modulation, the sideband structure appears quite asymmetric. When voice is conveyed by a CSSB source of this type, low-frequency components are dominant, while higher-frequency terms are lower by as much as 20 dB at 3 kHz. The result is that the signal occupies approximately

neg: Butler Committee terms of reference, which covered England and Wales, were: (a) To consider to what extent and on what criteria the law should recognise mental disorder or abnormality in a person accused of a criminal offence as a factor affecting his liability to be tried or convicted, and his disposal; (b) To consider what, if any, changes are necessary in the powers, procedure and facilities relating to the provision of appropriate treatment, in prison, hospital or the community, for offenders suffering from mental disorder or abnormality, and to their discharge and aftercare; (c) To make recommendations. There had been growing criticism

neg: OMB Circular A-21 upon by the Federal Government. Lists connotative and denotative meanings for specific phrases used throughout the circular. This section outlines the responsibility necessitated when determining and justifying costs incurred throughout a project, and what is to be expected in terms of accountability by the financial authority(ies) involved. Direct costs are those measurable and accurate within the scope of the project. F&A (Facilities and Administrative) costs are not necessarily tangible assets, but are those that are not immediately recognized and itemizable by all participants in the project or a given activity within the project. Recommendations for distribution and considerations of these

neg: GNUmed and GNUmed's connection to the medical profession. The logo depicts a Gnu as a reference to the GNU project accompanied by a Python as a reference to the programming language as well as to the medical profession. At the time, GNUmed was just another free software project aiming to become an alternative to the established EMRs. It has since evolved to rival other EMRs in terms of functionality and performance. GNUmed is primarily used to manage electronic medical records. It provides means of archiving paper records as well as collecting metadata on these records. Some uses include administrative tasks such

neg: Opus (audio format) license. It is written in C and can be compiled for hardware architectures with or without a floating-point unit. The accompanying diagnostic tool "opusinfo" reports detailed technical information about Opus files, including information on the standard compliance of the bitstream format. It is based on "ogginfo" from the "vorbis-tools" and therefore — unlike the encoder and decoder — is available under the terms of version 2 of the GPL. RFC 6716 contains a complete source code for the reference implementation written in C. The FFmpeg project and GStreamer project have encoder and decoder implementation not derived from the reference library.

neg: Beyond Blunderdome to Gibson, Jack Burns guest starred in the episode, voicing a film studio executive named Edward Christian. His frequent use of the terms "Huh?" and "You know what I mean?" is a reference to a comedy routine performed by Burns and Avery Schreiber. The episode also features John Travolta, in whose private jet Gibson flies to Springfield, but his voice was imitated by Dan Castellaneta. In the episode, there are many references to popular culture. The character Rainier Wolfcastle is seen filming "Saving Irene Ryan", which is a reference to the 1998 film "Saving Private Ryan" and actress Irene Ryan

neg: MAUD Committee to have enemy aliens in charge of a sensitive project. In September 1940, the Technical Sub-Committee was formed, with Peierls and Frisch as members. However, Halban did not take his exclusion from the MAUD Committee in as good grace as Frisch and Peierls. In response, two new committees were created in March 1941 to replace the MAUD Committee and the Technical Sub-Committee called the MAUD Policy Committee and the MAUD Technical Committee. Unlike the original two committees, they had written terms of reference. The terms of reference of the MAUD Policy Committee were: Those of the MAUD Technical Committee were:

neg: Depiction in art, and would seem to ignore the question of how to concentrate upon what. But iconography's findings take a rather recondite view of content, are often based on subtle literary, historical and cultural allusion and highlight a sharp difference in terms of resemblance, optical accuracy or intuitive illusion. Resemblance is hardly direct or spontaneous for the iconographer, reference rarely to the literal or singular. Visual perception here is subject to reflection and research, the object as much reference as referent. The distinguished art historian Erwin Panofsky allowed three levels to iconography. The first is 'natural' content, the object recognised

neg: Grand Theft Auto IV by Houser. "We were consciously trying to go, well, if video games are going to develop into the next stage, then the thing isn't to try and do a loving tribute or reference other stuff. It's to reference the actual place itself". Houser also said, "In terms of the character, we wanted something that felt fresh and new and not something that was obviously derived from [a] movie. [...] Maybe [we] could do something ourselves that would live alongside that stuff". Music supervisor Ivan Pavlovich said "[we had] to pick the songs that make New York today what it is,

neg: Severn Barrage an "environmental opportunity", through the potential to combine a climate change mitigation project with the adaptation that will be required to respond to the effects of climate change. A publicly led project would enable the use of a low discount rate (2%), which would result in a competitive cost of electricity, and would limit the economic impact of even a very large-scale compensatory habitats package. Electricity production costs are not competitive if a commercial discount rate is applied. A two-year feasibility study was announced in late 2007, and the terms of reference were announced on 22 January 2008, following the

neg: Project management planning team when identifying deliverables and planning activities. While executing we must know what are the planned terms that need to be executed. The execution/implementation phase ensures that the project management plan's deliverables are executed accordingly. This phase involves proper allocation, co-ordination and management of human resources and any other resources such as material and budgets. The output of this phase is the project deliverables. Documenting everything within a project is key to being successful. In order to maintain budget, scope, effectiveness and pace a project must have physical documents pertaining to each specific task. With correct documentation, it is

neg: Imputation (genetics) haplotypes. These tools include MaCH Minimac, IMPUTE2 and Beagle. Each tool provides specific pros and cons, in terms of speed and accuracy. Additional phasing tools such as SHAPEIT2 allow prephasing of input haplotypes, for improved imputation accuracy and computational performance. In early imputation usage, haplotypes from HapMap populations were used as a reference panel, however, this has been succeeded by the availability of haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes Project as reference panels, with more samples, across more diverse populations, and with greater genetic marker density. As of mid-2014, whole-genome sequence data is publicly available from the 1000 Genomes Project website

neg: Q-guidance guidance system. In flight, the actual trajectory is modeled mathematically as a Taylor series expansion around the reference trajectory. The guidance system attempts to zero the linear terms of this expression, i.e. to bring the missile back to the planned trajectory. For this reason, Delta-guidance is sometimes referred to as "fly [along] the wire", where the (imaginary) wire refers to the reference trajectory. In contrast, Q-guidance is a dynamic method, reminiscent of the theories dynamic programming or state based feedback. In essence, it says "never mind where we were supposed to be, given where we are what should we do

neg: PowerPC and a new reference platform for servers called PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Reference). , IBM's POWER microprocessors, which implement the Power ISA, are used by IBM in their IBM Power Systems, running IBM i, AIX, and Linux. Many PowerPC designs are named and labeled by their apparent technology generation. That began with the "G3", which was an internal project name inside AIM for the development of what would become the PowerPC 750 family. Apple popularized the term "G3" when they introduced Power Mac G3 and PowerBook G3 at an event at 10 November 1997. Motorola and Apple liked the moniker

neg: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions identify a persistence of the reference of terms in different theories, Field's analysis emphasizes the indeterminacy of reference within individual theories. Field takes the example of the term "mass", and asks what exactly "mass" means in modern post-relativistic physics. He finds that there are at least two different definitions: Projecting this distinction backwards in time onto Newtonian dynamics, we can formulate the following two hypotheses: According to Field, it is impossible to decide which of these two affirmations is true. Prior to the theory of relativity, the term "mass" was "referentially indeterminate". But this does not mean that the term

neg: Abstraction (linguistics) were innovative, and fundamentally correct. The relation among syntax, semantics, and pragmatics has also been cashed out in terms of what could be called an "abstraction hierarchy." For instance, Rudolf Carnap in his "Introduction to Semantics" (1942, Harvard University Press) writes: If… explicit reference is made to the speaker, or, to put it in more general terms, to the user of a language, then we assign it to the field of pragmatics. (Whether in this case reference to designata is made or not makes no difference for this classification.) If we abstract from the user of the language and analyze

neg: Reference card now being adopted to portray concise information in many other fields. As in the examples below, reference cards are typically one to a few pages in length. Pages are organized into one or more columns. Across the columns, the reference is split into sections and organized by topic. Each section contains a list of entries, with each entry containing a term and its description and usage information. Terms might include keywords, syntactic constructs, functions, methods, or macros in a computer language. In a reference card for a program with a graphical user interface, terms may include menu entries, icons or

neg: Kenneth J. Gergen proposed as a successor project to what Gergen considered an inherently flawed empiricist conception of knowledge. From Gergen's perspective, all human intelligibility (including claims to knowledge) is generated within relationships. It is from relationships that humans derive their conceptions of what is real, rational, and good. From this perspective, scientific theories, like all other reality posits, should not be assessed in terms of truth, but in terms of pragmatic outcomes. Such assessments are inevitably wedded to values, and thus all science is morally and politically weighted in implication. As he saw it, this same form of assessment also applies to

It also allows curators and other museum professionals to see what the public sees in works of art. These terms will enrich the catalog and increase the likelihood that searchers of all levels will find what they are looking for. In the end, it is hoped that museum collections will be fully searchable by keywords rather than just by name or artist. Early results from the project found that a number of tags were applied often, while

What are the differences between Hopi notions of "navoti" (“traditional knowledge”) and Euro-American understandings of intellectual property? What are the implications of this in terms of managing cultural knowledge resources? This case study is working towards developing an official cultural heritage management guide for the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office and the Hopi Tribe. In the Journey Home project, the question was not whether ancestral remains should be repatriated from the University of British Columbia Lab of Archaeology to the , but rather how to do things right, regardless of timeframe.

neg: Finalizer uses reference counting). This reflects the fact that reference counting results in semi-deterministic object lifetime: for objects that are not part of a cycle, objects are destroyed deterministically when the reference count drops to zero, but objects that are part of a cycle are destroyed non-deterministically, as part of a separate form of garbage collection. In certain narrow technical usage, "constructor" and "destructor" are language-level terms, meaning "methods defined in a class", while "initializer" and "finalizer" are implementation-level terms, meaning "methods called during object creation or destruction". Thus for example the original specification for the C# language referred to "destructors",

neg: Ukrainian historical regions clear definition of the boundaries of such regions, but rather a general reference. Lists of what may constitute such regions might include: Other terms are rarely used - such as "South-West Ukraine", which can denote either Transcarpathia, or Budjak. Sometimes the term "South-Eastern Ukraine" is used to define both regions of the Southern and Eastern Ukraine. Due to the shape of the country, in narrow definition, term "Northern Ukraine" is often used to denote either the bulge of Chernihiv/Sumy Oblasts or, in broader terms, the whole of Polesia. "North-western Ukraine" almost exclusively refers to the historic region of Volhynia. This

This inquiry was always potentially hugely damaging and hugely worrying to the establishment in terms of the way they handled the incident and clearly there are elements that want to shut it down." No named individuals were ever prosecuted. The national water industry was sold, under the Conservative government, for £3.59 billion, with the sale of

neg: Hilary Putnam in "The Meaning of "Meaning"" that the objects referred to by natural kind terms—such as tiger, water, and tree—are the principal elements of the meaning of such terms. There is a linguistic division of labor, analogous to Adam Smith's economic division of labor, according to which such terms have their references fixed by the "experts" in the particular field of science to which the terms belong. So, for example, the reference of the term "lion" is fixed by the community of zoologists, the reference of the term "elm tree" is fixed by the community of botanists, and the reference of

neg: Mechanics of planar particle motion divided into two groups and given the "same names" as the "state-of-motion" fictitious forces, that is, they are divided into "centrifugal" and "Coriolis" terms, despite their inclusion of terms that are not the "state-of-motion" centrifugal and Coriolis terms. For example, these "coordinate" centrifugal and Coriolis terms can be nonzero "even in an inertial frame of reference" where the "state-of-motion" centrifugal force (the subject of this article) and Coriolis force always are zero. If the frame is not inertial, for example, in a rotating frame of reference, the "state-of-motion" fictitious forces are included in the above "coordinate" fictitious force expression. Also,

neg: Relativistic mechanics is the Lorentz factor: (either version may be quoted) so it follows: The first three terms, excepting the factor of formula_8, is the velocity as seen by the observer in their own reference frame. The formula_8 is determined by the velocity formula_10 between the observer's reference frame and the object's frame, which is the frame in which its proper time is measured. This quantity is invariant under Lorentz transformation, so to check to see what an observer in a different reference frame sees, one simply multiplies the velocity four-vector by the Lorentz transformation matrix between the two reference frames. There

neg: Transposition of the great vessels which vessels are involved. Although "transposed" literally means "swapped", many types of TGV involve vessels that are in abnormal positions, while not actually being swapped with each other. The terms TGV and TGA are most commonly used in reference to dextro-TGA – in which the arteries "are" in swapped positions; however, both terms are also commonly used, though to a slightly lesser extent, in reference to levo-TGA – in which both the arteries and the ventricles are swapped; while other defects in this category are almost never referred to by either of these terms. In dextro-Transposition of the great arteries

neg: Assimilation (phonology) about the mechanisms involved, but they are unobvious. If a sound changes with reference to a following segment, it is traditionally called "regressive assimilation"; changes with reference to a preceding segment are traditionally called "progressive". Many find these terms confusing, as they seem to mean the opposite of the intended meaning. Accordingly, a variety of alternative terms have arisen—not all of which avoid the problem of the traditional terms. Regressive assimilation is also known as right-to-left, leading, or anticipatory assimilation. Progressive assimilation is also known as left-to-right, perseveratory, preservative, lagging or lag assimilation. The terms anticipatory and lag are used

GoI extended the term of KWDT-2 by two years with effect from 1-8-2014 to adjudicate on fresh terms of references as stated in Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. Under this legislation by the Parliament, the KWDT II is extended with the terms of reference to make project-wise specific allocation, if such allocation have not been made earlier and to determine an operational protocol for project-wise release of water in the event of deficit flows. The above bill also creates Krishna River Management Board located

neg: Philosophy of language reference and are also the modes of presentation of the objects to which expressions refer. Referents are the objects in the world that words pick out. The senses of sentences are thoughts, while their referents are truth values (true or false). The referents of sentences embedded in propositional attitude ascriptions and other opaque contexts are their usual senses. Bertrand Russell, in his later writings and for reasons related to his theory of acquaintance in epistemology, held that the only directly referential expressions are, what he called, "logically proper names". Logically proper names are such terms as "I", "now", "here" and

The ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) "Can Do" project developed a simplified set of 400+ descriptors for language examinations which relate to the Common Reference Levels. These descriptors are in the form of "can-do statements", each saying more simply what a learner can do at every level. There are four sections: general, social/ tourist, work and study. The ALTE project also gave its own names to the CEFR levels from the "Breakthrough level" to "Level

neg: Multiracial feminist theory who don't obtain benefits of the system. Patricia Hill Collins defines the term, Matrix of Domination, to refer to how various forms of oppression work different depending on what social location one obtains. In reference to this term, people will have varying experiences with gender, class, race, & sexuality, depending on what social position one has in relation to structural powers. In terms of interlocking oppressions, this results in different social groups experiencing varying subordination and privilege. Though women of color are rarely credited as being prevalent in the 2nd Wave feminist movement, it has become evident that multiracial feminism

Lease management requires the extraction of key information from the lease agreement document into what is called a Lease Abstract, which is a summary of essential terms of a leasehold agreement of real estate. A lease of real estate, regardless of the country or state of jurisdiction, fundamentally comprises clauses that define the commercial terms, legal terms and functional terms of the transaction. A Lease Abstract is prepared upon the execution or commencement of the agreement to provide a more simplified, easier to use and shorter reference point for administering or managing the

Maurice Merrill, comparing the Dictionary with a similar work entitled "Manual of Oil and Gas Terms", noted the absence of legal terms in Boone's work, suggesting that for individuals within the oil industry, the "Manual of Oil and Gas Terms" was a preferable reference work. In the "Southwestern Historical Quarterly", reviewer David Donoghue highlighted several "errors of the inexcusable variety", and suggested that the dictionary had "little to offer" to the "oil fielder who is seriously interested in what makes the business go". The Petroleum Dictionary The Petroleum Dictionary is a dictionary covering terms used

neg: Nomos (sociology) reference in which to live. The alternative is the chaos and terror of what Berger calls anomy. To be most effective, the nomos must be taken for granted. The structure of the world created by human and social activity is treated not as contingent, but as self-evident. 'Whenever the socially established nomos attains the quality of being taken for granted, there occurs a merging of its meanings with what are considered to be the fundamental meanings inherent in the universe.' (1967:24-25). Berger sees this happening in all societies, and while the nomos is expressed in religious terms in 'archaic societies',

The Council on Competitiveness Enhancement of Leading Russian Universities among Global Research and Education Centers oversees the project. The Council was created in the spring of 2013 on the basis of a decision made by the Russian Government. The Council goes over the Universities’ reports, suggests how much money is needed to follow through on everything, and then communicates what it thinks ought to be done to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science in terms of

In formal terms, we first build an equivalence relation, and then take the quotient set by that relation. But before we can do that, we first need to develop what we are going to take the equivalence relation over. The way we do that

This priority levels must be clearly stated. These may be mapped to the test groups also. When test cases are executed, the test leader and the project manager must know, where exactly the project stands in terms of testing activities. To know where the project stands, the inputs from the individual testers must come to the test leader. This will include, what test cases are executed, how long it took, how many test

The great principle is that of co-operation, all the members of the party climbing with reference to the others, and not as independent units; each when moving must know what the climber in front and the one behind are doing. After bad weather steep rocks are often found covered with a veneer of ice (Glossary of climbing terms#verglas), which may even render them inaccessible. Crampons are useful on such occasions. Every year, 120 to 150 people die in small avalanches in the Alps alone. The

Resource breakdown structure In project management, the resource breakdown structure (RBS) is a hierarchical list of resources related by function and resource type that is used to facilitate planning and controlling of project work. The Resource Breakdown Structure includes, at a minimum, the personnel resources needed for successful completion of a project, and preferably contains all resources on which project funds will be spent, including personnel, tools, machinery, materials, equipment and fees and

In Louisiana, "Acadian" and "Cajun" are often used as broad cultural terms without reference to actual descent from the deported Acadians. Today, the Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population and have exerted an enormous impact on the state's culture.

That's one reason we kept the arrangements lean." The singer cited Guided by Voices as a reference in creating the shorter and faster songs of "Backspacer". Gossard said that "Backspacer" is "what we could have done for the last five records, in terms of re-engaging with the roots of why this band works," and that "there are plenty of ballads, too... and there are some shifts in how Jeff and Matt and I are all relating—I think this

neg: Analysis paralysis ends up creating additional confusion in the project in the case where iterative plans are made with no intention on having the team following through. Analysis paralysis is a critical problem in athletics. It can be explained in simple terms as "failure to react in response to over-thought." A victim of sporting analysis paralysis will frequently think in complicated terms of "what to do next" while contemplating the variety of possibilities, and in doing so exhausts the available time in which to act. There are additional situations in which analysis paralysis can be identified, but in which the phenomenon is

In either case, the legal consequences are identical to those of a marriage under the "Marriage Act", except for such changes as are required by the context. Any reference to marriage in any law, including the common law, is deemed to include a marriage or civil partnership in terms of the "Civil Union Act"; similarly, any reference to husband, wife or spouse in any law is deemed to include a reference to a spouse or

According to (p. 136), an objective of many program projects is to ensure that project services or benefits reach a certain target population - defined in terms of its geographic, economic, or demographic characteristics. What is critical in program process monitoring is determining whether intended targets actually receive program services intended for them in the plan. This is of paramount importance especially in programs that are voluntary, that involve behaviour change, taking of instructions

neg: Structuralism (philosophy of science) regarded as successfully referring "after all") and claims that it can adequately deal with referential continuity in conceptual transitions, during which theoretical terms are abandoned, thus rendering ESR redundant. Votsis (2004) replies that a scientific realist needs not tie the approximate truth of a theory to referential success. Notably, structural realism initially did not dictate any particular theory of reference; however Votsis (2012) proposed a structuralist theory of reference according to which "scientific terms are able to refer to individual objects, i.e. in a term-by-term fashion, but that to fix this reference requires taking into account the relations these objects

Although some housekeeping genes (such as LDHA, NONO, PGK1 and PPIH,) are expressed at relatively constant levels in most non-pathological situations, other housekeeping genes may vary depending on experimental conditions. Although the terms "housekeeping gene" and "reference gene" are used somewhat interchangeably, caution must be used in selecting genes for reference purposes. This is a list of recommended housekeeping genes that may

neg: Reference data Reference data Reference data are data that define the set of permissible values to be used by other data fields. Reference data gain in value when they are widely re-used and widely referenced. Typically, they do not change overly much in terms of definition, apart from occasional revisions. Reference data are often defined by standards organizations, such as country codes as defined in ISO 3166-1. Examples of reference data include: As any other data, if it is not managed, it can lead to poor quality data. Here are some best practices to follow: Reference data should be distinguished from master

neg: Cost estimate the project during its conceptual phase. A definitive estimate is prepared from fully designed plans and specifications (or nearly so), preferably what are called contract documents (CD). The contract documents also establish the Scope of Work (SOW). The standard method is to review and understand the design package and take off (or perform a quantity survey of) the project scope by itemizing it into line items with measured quantities. RSMeans refers to this as, "Scope out the project," and, "Quantify." Some jurisdictions or areas of practice define the itemization and measuration in certain terms, such as RICS and may have

In 2011, Russel Neiss and Rabbi Charlie Schwartz were supported by the Jewish New Media Fund in building PocketTorah, a portable app for studying the chanting of the weekly Torah reading. Project funding subsidized recording of the entire Torah chanted according to the Ashkeanzic custom. All recordings used in the software were shared with CC BY-SA licenses

neg: Cognitive semantics the lexeme in terms of the structure of concepts. However, it is not entirely clear what cognitive processes are at work in these accounts. Moreover, it is not clear how we might go about explaining the ways that concepts are actively employed in conversation. It appears to be the case that, if our project is to look at "how" linguistic strings convey different semantic content, we must first catalogue "what" cognitive processes are being used to do it. Researchers can satisfy both requirements by attending to the "construal operations" involved in language processing—that is to say, by investigating the ways

Transcendence is analyzed in terms of realism, in the sense of the attention being directed away from one's egocentric fantasies, and with reference to the experience of beauty. Perfection is seen as necessarily implied by our sense that there are degrees of goodness, so that we can always conceive of better, though indefinable, goodness beyond what we can experience for ourselves. Finally, the attributes of necessity and reality are again connected with realism, in the sense of "the ability to see things as they are". In this case the activity of the good artist who

For many African theologians, Jesus is seen as a liberating figure, including liberation from inequality, oppression, and poverty in opposition to what Jean-Marc Éla identifies as a "Babylonian captivity" of Christianity to Greco-Latin philosophies and Christologies that do not relate to the African experience. Among these are the image of an "imperial" Christ used to justify oppression and a "slave-trader" Christ used to promote faith in a distant salvation rather than earthly liberation. Éla's use of the terms "imperial" and "slave-holder" in reference to Jesus are not literal

Some perfumers work exclusively for a perfume house or in their own company, but these cases are not as common. The perfumer typically begins a perfume project with a "brief" by the perfumer's employer or an outside customer. The customers to the perfumer or their employers, are typically fashion houses or large corporations of various industries. Each brief will contain the specifications for the desired perfume, and will describe in often poetic or abstract terms what the perfume should smell like or what
