Forms of knowledge with no direct link to survival—religious knowledge foremost among them—have long posed a challenge to evolutionary theory: the cost of belief in unseen deities is difficult to justify under natural selection, in the way that the cost of three-dimensional vision is not. This study locates the source of the difficulty in an epistemological assumption inherited from classical philosophy: that consciousness produces knowledge as a correspondence to reality, and therefore that some knowledge lies beyond the function of survival. Against this, it proposes the concept of "cartographic knowledge": consciousness is a multi-mechanism adaptive apparatus whose function is not to mirror reality but to draw a functional map of the

     Through the presence of the researcher in the sport of badminton as a former player and coach, he noticed that most of the young players suffer from weakness in the strength and speed of the stroke of the straight and diagonal dimensions. Which negatively affects their level of performance and the difficulty of moving the opposing player from the middle of the field to the back area (back line) in order to create larger spaces and exploit them to play badminton and get direct points. The aim of the research is to identify the effect of plyometric exercises in developing the strength characteristic of speed and skill of the frontal dimensions (straight and diagonal) for badminton players. The research

Information Technology has become one of the Most Prominent tools in the Era of Technology and Telecommunication of our Digital World. For that Reasons most Organizations had taken the tools Adapted to their Present and Future Directions and for the Improvement for it's Operations and Workability in Internal or External Enviroment. Consequently the Points of Strength Beats the Weakness and as Result of Increase Opportunities and Decrease the Threats Facing these Organizations. This Search has been made to test the Existence or not Existence role of the Information Network Technologies that Include {Internet and Extranet} in Application of Information Technology t

This research has taken to the knowledge of the scope of  applying the international specification of (ISO 10015) which is regarded to training by the Iraqi ministry of municipalities and public works ,in order to determine its training quality .By using the checklist made based upon the items of the specification ,after translating the English copy into Arabic ,which takes the indications of training depending on qualitative bases. The results of the analysis emphasized that occurred total average by comparison the evaluation of the training activity in the mentioned ministry with the international specification in all of its main items, which was (%55) ,and totally documented ,which finally refer to the existence of great

      MRP is a system intended for the batch manufacturing of discrete parts including assemblies and subassemblies that should be stocked to support future manufacturing needs.  Due to the useful information provided by MRP it has evolved into a Manufacturing Resources Planning, MRP II, a system that ties the basic MRP system to the other functional areas of the company such as marketing, finance, purchasing, etc.  The objective of this research, which was conducted at the State Company for Batteries Manufacturing, is to test the performance of some popular lot-sizing techniques used within MRP II framework. It is hypothesized that the technique which minimizes the total inventory costs does no

Deep convective clouds tend to exert large but compensating effects in the shortwave and longwave that largely cancel, leading to a muted effect on net cloud radiative effect. Multi-layered cloud systems, ubiquitous in both hemispheres, exert strong cooling influence on Earth of around 6.1 W m-2.
