Geotechnical Engineering – Deals with the engineering aspects of soils and rocks, sometimes known as geomaterials.
Soil Mechanics – Application of mechanics to soils.
Rock Mechanics - Application of mechanics principles to rocks.
Foundation Engineering – Application of soil mechanics principles to design earth and earth-supported structures such as foundations, retaining structures, dams, etc.

GDP
Definition: Market value of all final goods/services produced within a country in a period. Does not include population.
Three uses:
Living standards
Economic growth
Recession/expansion
Per capita GDP: GDP ÷ Population = avg living standards
Economic growth: % change in real per capita GDP
Business cycle: Short-run fluctuations
Expansion: Trough → Peak
Contraction: Peak → Trough
GNP: Output by residents/owners of a nation, regardless of location
Nominal GDP: Current prices, not adjusted...
CH1 PSYCH SCIENCE: Scientific study of Mind (internal/hidden) and Behavior (external/observable). History: Historically white male dominated, now 70% PhDs women, 30% POC. Dualism (Descartes): Mind/Body fundamentally different; connect at pineal gland; non-falsifiable. Materialism (Hobbes): "Mind is what brain does"; supported by fMRI/lesions. Realism (Locke): Perception = photocopy. Idealism (Kant): Perception = interpretation; supported by eyelid test (pressure seen as light). Empiricism (Locke)
...1. Inledning och syfte
Syftet med laborationen är att undersöka hur svängningstiden T hos en matematisk pendel beror på pendelns längd l. Vidare ska vi använda mätdata för att bestämma ett experimentellt värde på tyngdaccelerationen g.
2. Teori
För en matematisk pendel med små utslagsvinklar gäller sambandet:
T=
Om vi skriver om detta som en potensfunktion
У = а • х^в
b, där y = I och x = l, ser vi att:
T=2pi/skrtg*l^0,5
Detta innebär att den teoretiska konstanten b bör vara
MATRIX CHAIN MULTIPLICATION –Step 1 - Begin-Step 2 - If N = 1 Then- (i) Print "Cost = 0" (Single matrix, no multiplication)- (ii) Go to Step 7-Step 3 - i = 0 (Start index for splitting the chain)-Step 4 - Repeat Step 5 & 6 While i < N - 1-Step 5 - If i < N - 1 Then- (i) Cost1 = MCM(P, i + 1) (Cost of left part: P[0] to P[i])- (ii) Cost2 = MCM(P + i + 1, N - i - 1) (Cost of right part: P[i+1] to P[N-1])- (iii) CurrentCost = Cost1 + Cost2 + (P[0] * P[i + 1] * P[N]) (Total cost with split
The Statue of Labourers (1351) (Glasbeek) -
50% of England’s population wiped out
Upper class needed more essential work to be done by the poor
Introduced the Statue of Labourers
Men, women and children who did not own land or were recognized as crafters, traders, or merchants were forced to work
Upper class guilt trip lower class
Upper class won’t do the work themselves

MOTIVATION & PARTICIPATION • Views of Motivation: – Participant / Trait-Centered – Situation-Centered – Interactional (motivation = person × situation) • Motivation influenced by: Personal Factors → personality, needs, interests, goals; Situational Factors → coach/leader style, facility attractiveness, team dynamics, win/loss record • Motives for Involvement: – Multiple motives possible – Motives may conflict – Shared vs unique motives– Motives change over time – Motives...
