Computers represent data as 0s and 1s, and use signed absolute value, 1’s complement, and 2’s complement to represent positive and negative numbers in 4 bits. Signed double precision is math imprecise, and base 1 suffers from the double representation of zero. The two’s complement solves these problems and provides rules for handling overflows to make the computation more...

His theory clarifies legal relationships through the basic categories of rights – claims, liberties, powers, and immunities – and has become an important reference in modern legal philosophy and...

  Dual-polarization radar uses horizontal and vertical polarization to analyze the size, shape, number, and type of precipitation particles to accurately predict weather events. The output variables such as reflectivity, differential reflectivity, differential phase difference, non-differential phase difference, and cross-correlation coefficient are used to accurately observe various weather...

Self-regulation is important in explaining human moral and immoral behavior. Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory and Roy Baumeister’s self-regulatory force theory have implications for promoting moral behavior and preventing immoral behavior. These theories suggest ways in which moral education can support students’ self-efficacy and energy efficiency to sustain moral...

Epicurus developed a non-deterministic worldview to escape the fear of divine intervention, the inevitability of the universe, and the fear of death, and developed a philosophy to help humans live autonomous, subjective lives through free will. His ideas emphasized a hedonistic ethic and the value of friendship to show how to pursue true happiness.   The people of ancient Greece lived in a...

Since the modern era, legal philosophy has debated whether the nature of rights should be viewed as legally respected individual choices or legally protected interests, divided into the volitional and beneficence theories.   Since the modern era, when individual rights have been emphasized, legal philosophy has debated whether the fundamental nature of rights should be viewed in terms of...

Cooperation and altruistic behavior play an important role in human society. The phenomenon of euphausiids provides an opportunity for altruistic people to come together and work together, but overemphasizing this can lead to a loss of diversity. Therefore, a balanced approach is needed that encourages altruistic behavior while respecting diverse backgrounds and perspectives.   Everyone is...
