Living polymerization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Living polymerization was first described by M. warc in 1956 in the anionic polymerization of styrene with a alkali metal / naphthalene system in THF. Living polymerization is a popular method for synthesizing block copolymers since the polymer can be synthesized in stages, each stage containing a different monomer. Living polymerization in the literature is often called "living" polymerization or controlled polymerization. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_polymerization   (1112 words)

Living wage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Living Wages is part of a set of solutions to counteract the divide and rule strategy used by businesses in an effort to save money and increase their profit margin. This concept differs from the minimum wage because the latter is set by law and may fail to meet the requirements of a living wage. In Australia, the 1908 Harvester Judgment ruled that an employer was obliged to pay his employees a wage that guaranteed them a standard of living which was reasonable for "a human being in a civilised community," regardless of his capacity to pay. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_wage   (551 words)

Living street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A living street (also known as a home zone, and by the Dutch name woonerf) is a street in which, unlike in most streets, the needs of car drivers are secondary to the needs of users of the street as a whole. Living streets have become extremely common there, in Germany, and in Scandinavia, and are increasing in Britain. For much of the twentieth century, streets were designed by engineers who were charged only with ensuring traffic flow, but it has become apparent that streets have many social and recreational functions which are severely impaired by fast car traffic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_street   (551 words)

Living fossil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Others are a single living species with no close living relatives, but which is the survivor of a large and widespread group in the fossil record (a well-known example of this is the ginkgo tree, Ginkgo biloba).

Independent Living: Just the facts... Independent Living means that we demand the same choices and control in our every-day lives that our non-disabled brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends take for granted. The Independent Living philosophy postulates that disabled people are the best experts on their needs, must take the initiative, individually and collectively, in designing and promoting better solutions and must organize themselves for political power. Today the movement’s message is still most easily grasped by people whose everyday lives depend on assistance with the activities of daily living, since they are most exposed to custodial care, paternalistic attitudes and control by professionals. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/i/in/independent_living.htm   (781 words)

Sustainable living - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sustainable living is a sub-division of sustainability where the prerequisites of a modern, industrialized society are left unexercised by choice for a variety of reasons. Sustainable living might best be defined as a lifestyle that could, hypothetically, be sustained unmodified for many generations without exhausting any natural resources. The publication of Living the Good Life by Helen Nearing (1904 – 1995) and Scott Nearing (1883 – 1983) in 1954 is the modern-day beginning of the sustainability movement. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sustainable_living   (478 words)

Living Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Modern church historians generally regard the Renovationist movement as a deviation from the sincere and well-founded attempts at proper ecclesiastical reforms in the beginning of the 20th century. The central administrative body of the Renovationist Church, as well as the entire administration of the church, was in a state of constant flux and changed names several times in the 28-year period of the existence of the schism. Some of the churches were returned to the "Tikhonites" (as many used to call the "Patriarchal" Church at that time) and many bishops and priests who were pressed to support the schism, repented and were received back into communion. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_Church   (2803 words)

Living Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The living constitution is a doctrine of constitutional philosophy that says that a constitution is organic and must be read in a broad and liberal manner so as to adapt it to the changing times. In 1987, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall delivered a lecture, "The Constitution: A Living Document," in which he argued that the Constitution must be interpreted in light of the moral, political, and cultural climate of the age of interpretation. The view endorsed by Laurence Tribe, a leading constitutional law scholar who is often associated with living Constitution thinking, was famously described by Robert Bork as "protean," that it was whatever Tribe needed it to be to reach a desired policy outcome. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_Constitution   (779 words)

Statue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, as with all artistic topics, this definition of the concept of a statue is far from exhaustive. Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, such as the Battle of Iwo Jima, or the life of an influential person, such as Mahatma Gandhi. In 1986, when the Statue of Liberty marked her one-hundredth anniversary, a three-day centennial celebration in her honor attracted 12 million, said to have been the largest public event in the world as of that date. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Statue   (256 words)

Living machines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The earliest living machines were developed and designed by John Todd [1] and Nancy Jack Todd [2] of Ocean Arks International [3], beginning in the 1990s. The concept of living machines represents a particularly interesting variant on intelligent machines, and has mostly been associated with water treatment systems that make use of natural bioremediation processes such as wetlands to remove contaminants from sewage and other waste water sources. Living Machines, Inc, [6] in Taos, New Mexico has registered Living Machines® as a trademark and is involved with the design, construction, and operation of innovative wastewater treatment facilities for communities, educational institutions, resorts, and industrial users. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_machines   (241 words)

Living Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The expression Living Latin refers to the living use of Latin, a classical language that has often being classified as "dead". There are two main proponents of Living Latin. On the other hand, there are those who champion a return to Latin as a means of communication among people, mainly from different nationalities, or as an academic language, as it was in Europe from Roman times until the 18th century (cf. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Living_Latin   (832 words)

Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, there is a growing movement, sometimes known as the Living Latin movement, whose supporters believe that Latin can, or should, be taught in the same way that modern "living" languages are taught, that is, as a means of both spoken and written communication. Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things. Latin is a synthetic or inflectional language: affixes are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Latin   (832 words)

Assisted living - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Assisted Living or Assisted living facilities (ALF) usually refers to a non-medical facility that is used by people who are not able to live on their own, but do not need the level of continuous nursing care that a nursing home offers. A typical assisted living facility resident would be a woman in her mid to late 80's who does not need the intensive care of a nursing home but prefers more companionship and needs some assistance in day to day living. Someone who lives at an assisted living facility would not have to be concerned with having to prepare meals every day because there is a central kitchen and dining facility that they can take advantage of. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Assisted_living   (410 words)

It is one of the best examples of a living fossil known. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ginkgo   (1849 words)

Clausen, C. D. --- Neopilina: A Living Fossil It could, for example, include living fossils and other organisms that occurred in the deep-sea and were buried during the Genesis flood.) These scientists supposed that the constancy of the deep-sea environment provided a place of refuge for the survival of ancient life. The discovery of living fossils permits the study of the biology of an almost extinct group of organisms in ways that would be impossible from the preserved hard parts of the fossils alone. Other than Neopilina, plants and animals commonly referred to as living fossils are the horsetails or scouring rushes, the gingko or maidenhair tree, the coelacanth fish, the horseshoe or king crab, the chambered nautilus and the brachiopod Lingula. www.grisda.org /origins/03056.htm   (1259 words)

Journal of Buddhist Ethics The kinship of living beings was one of the casualties in this transformation; episodes in the story that suggested close human kinship with the nonhuman were removed.

Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This could also be remedied by adding the requirement of locality, where there is an obvious feature that delineates the spatial extension of the living being, such as a cell membrane (although this would then discount fungi, and grasses from being life forms). The systemic definition is that living things are self-organizing and autopoietic (self-producing). Fundamentals of Biochemistry by Donald Voet and Judith Voet (ISBN 0471586501) defines metabolism as follows: "Metabolism is the overall process through which living systems acquire and utilize the free energy they need to carry out their various functions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Life   (1259 words)
