Science quote of the day:
"Science is observing truth in the light of head. Religion is observing truth in the light of heart. Humanity is using both the lights. And education is developing that humanity." ~ Amit Ray

Geology: How Soil Consolidation is building block of Foundation Engineering?

Original post by @munawar1235

Improving the mechanical properties of a soil is among the key goals of foundation engineering. Technology, material and equipment developed for this specific industry resulted in the expansion of the scope of application of such techniques; in fact they are often the designers' choice over traditional foundation techniques.

The evolution of electronics and the higher stability for hostile environments such as building sites allowed to develop consolidation process monitoring and control systems throughout every phase of the works, thus ensuring high quality finished products. Without being overly specific, the purpose of this article is to summarize all the methods developed to...

Ecology: Divergent Terrestrial Neurological Adaptations and Their Implications for Alien Life Part 2: Umwelt

Original post by @mountainwashere

The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein famously once said that "If a lion could speak, we could not understand him." It's a somewhat odd claim, but it makes sense- to quote Wittgenstein again, "Shared human behaviour is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language." We lack that shared system of reference with lions. Even were a lion able to talk, it would have a completely different relationship to the words than we would. The lion essentially lives in a different world than we do- one dominated by it having four legs, being a meat eater, having a very different social structure to ours, not caring about plants like we would, etc, etc. The lion's world can be referred to as its *umwelt*. *While umwelt literally translated from German means "surroundings" or "environment", it really discusses the relationship between the observer and its environment. So if a lion's umwelt makes its speech incomprehensible, what would an alien's umwelt mean for communication?

Archeology: Archeological Wonders and European Neoclassicism at Köningsplatz in Munich/Bavari

Original post by @highonthehog

 

Next to my apartment, on my everyday way to work I pass a very special place, which many tourists put on their to-do list while visiting Munich. The local people gather here in the summer, almost every day to enjoy their time the best way possible, getting a bit of sun and relax. It is called Königsplatz - King's Square.

A square built in the style of European Neoclassicism in the 19th century, with a purpose to be centre of cultural life, now a place highly appreciated by tourists and locals. It was designed by Karl von Fischer working for Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and laid out by Leo von Klenze.
