An air brake or , more formally , a compressed air brake system , is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to apply the pressure to the brake pad needed to stop the vehicle . Air brakes are used in large heavy vehicles , particularly those having multiple trailers which must be linked into the brake system , such as trucks , buses , trailers , and semi-trailers , in addition to their use in railroad trains . George Westinghouse first developed air brakes for use in railway service . He patented a safer air brake on March 5 , 1872 . Westinghouse made numerous alterations to improve his air pressured brake invention , which led to various forms of the automatic brake . In the early 20th century , after its advantages were proven in railway use , it was adopted by manufacturers of trucks and heavy road vehicles .

The history of the Great Wall of China began when fortifications built by various states during the Spring and Autumn ( 771 -- 476 BC ) and Warring States periods ( 475 -- 221 BC ) were connected by the first emperor of China , Qin Shi Huang , to protect his newly founded Qin dynasty ( 221 -- 206 BC ) against incursions by nomads from Inner Asia . The walls were built of rammed earth , constructed using forced labour , and by 212 BC ran from Gansu to the coast of southern Manchuria .

The Western Schism or Papal Schism was a split within the Catholic Church which lasted from 1378 to 1417 . Three men simultaneously claimed to be the true pope . Driven by politics rather than any theological disagreement , the schism was ended by the Council of Constance ( 1414 -- 1418 ) . For a time these rival claims to the papal throne damaged the reputation of the office . The affair is sometimes referred to as the Great Schism , although this term is typically reserved for the East -- West Schism ( 1054 ) between the Western Churches answering to the See of Rome and the Orthodox Churches of the East .

A racing slick ( also known as a `` slick tyre '' ) is a type of tyre that has a smooth tread used mostly in auto racing . The first production `` slick tyre '' was developed by M&H Tires in the early 1950s for use in drag racing . By eliminating any grooves cut into the tread , such tyres provide the largest possible contact patch to the road , and maximize traction for any given tyre dimension . Slick tyres are used on road or oval track racing , where steering and braking require maximum traction from each wheel , but are typically used on only the driven ( powered ) wheels in drag racing , where the only concern is maximum traction to put power to the ground .

Bison hunting ( hunting of the American bison , also commonly known as the American buffalo ) was an activity fundamental to the economy and society of the Plains Indians peoples who inhabited the vast grasslands on the Interior Plains of North America , prior to the animal 's near - extinction in the late nineteenth century . Even a number of Indians west of the continental divide crossed the Rocky Mountains in traditional tribal hunts on the Northern Great Plains . The species ' dramatic decline was the result of habitat loss due to the expansion of ranching and farming in western North America , industrial - scale hunting practiced by non-indigenous hunters , increased indigenous hunting pressure due to non-indigenous demand for bison hides and meat , and even cases of deliberate policy by settler governments to destroy the food source of the native Indian peoples during times of conflict . Bison have always been hunted for their meat and the coats . Part of quality conservation is thinning out in certain areas . This helps in the overall health and wellness of the herds . When the forest service has to come in and capture and / or kill the bison it is always utilized to help the herd and is often given to the Native Americans in the area to help feed them .

The Alpine Fault is a geological fault , specifically a right - lateral strike - slip fault , that runs almost the entire length of New Zealand 's South Island . It forms a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Indo - Australian Plate . Earthquakes along the fault , and the associated earth movements , have formed the Southern Alps . The uplift to the southeast of the fault is due to an element of convergence between the plates , meaning that the fault has a significant high - angle reverse oblique component to its displacement .

Metro ( officially known as Microsoft design language or MDL ) is a design language created by Microsoft . This design language is focused on typography and simplified icons , absence of clutter , increased content to ratio ( `` content before chrome '' ) , and basic geometric shapes . Early examples of Metro principles can be found in Encarta 95 and MSN 2.0 . The design language evolved in Windows Media Center and Zune and was formally introduced as `` Metro '' during the unveiling of Windows Phone 7 . It has since been incorporated into several of the company 's other products , including the Xbox 360 system software , Xbox One , Windows 8 , Windows Phone , and Outlook.com . Before the `` Microsoft design language '' title became official , Microsoft representative Qi Lu referred to it as the modern UI design language in his MIXX conference keynote speech . According to Microsoft , `` Metro '' has always been a codename and was never meant as a final product , but news websites attribute this change to trademark issues .

JOIN , or DIE. is a political cartoon , attributed to Benjamin Franklin and first published in his Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9 , 1754 . The original publication by the Gazette is the earliest known pictorial representation of colonial union produced by a British colonist in America . It is a woodcut showing a snake cut into eighths , with each segment labeled with the initials of one of the American colonies or regions . New England was represented as one segment , rather than the four colonies it was at that time . Delaware was not listed separately as it was part of Pennsylvania . Georgia , however , was omitted completely . Thus , it has eight segments of a snake rather than the traditional 13 colonies . The two northernmost British American colonies at the time , Nova Scotia and Newfoundland , were not represented , nor were any British Caribbean possessions . The cartoon appeared along with Franklin 's editorial about the `` disunited state '' of the colonies , and helped make his point about the importance of colonial unity . It became a symbol of colonial freedom during the American Revolutionary War .

Cognitive development is a field of study in neuroscience and psychology focusing on a child 's development in terms of information processing , conceptual resources , perceptual skill , language learning , and other aspects of brain development and cognitive psychology compared to an adult 's point of view . In other words , cognitive development is the emergence of the ability to think and understand . Cognitive development can also be called intellectual development A large portion of research has gone into understanding how a child imagines the world . Jean Piaget was a major force in the establishment of this field , forming his `` theory of cognitive development '' . Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development : the sensorimotor , preoperational , concrete operational and formal operational period . Many of his theoretical claims have since fallen out of favor . However , his description of the more prominent changes in cognition with age ( e.g. , that it moves from being dependent on actions and perception in infancy to an understanding of the more observable aspects of reality in childhood to capturing the underlying abstract rules and principles in adolescence ) is generally still accepted today . Perhaps equally importantly , Piaget identified and described many cognitive changes that must be explained , such as object permanence in infancy and the understanding of logical relations and cause - effect reasoning in school age children . The many phenomena he described still attract the interest of many current researchers .

The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely , given the food , habitat , water , and other necessities available in the environment . In population biology , carrying capacity is defined as the environment 's maximal load , which is different from the concept of population equilibrium . Its effect on population dynamics may be approximated in a logistic model , although this simplification ignores the possibility of overshoot which real systems may exhibit .

The evolution of nervous systems dates back to the first development of nervous systems in animals ( or metazoans ) . Neurons developed as specialized electrical signaling cells in multicellular animals , adapting the mechanism of action potentials present in motile single - celled and colonial eukaryotes . Simple nerve nets seen in animals like cnidaria evolved first , followed by nerve cords in bilateral animals -- ventral nerve cords in invertebrates and dorsal nerve cords supported by a notochord in chordates . Bilateralization led to the evolution of brains , a process called cephalization .

Lyme disease , or borreliosis , is caused by spirochetal bacteria from the genus Borrelia , which has 52 known species . Three main species ( Borrelia garinii , Borrelia afzelii , and Borrelia burgdorferi s.s. ) are the main causative agents of the disease in humans , while a number of others have been implicated as possibly pathogenic . Borrelia species in the species complex known to cause Lyme disease are collectively called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato ( s.l. ) not to be confused with the single species in that complex Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto which is responsible for all cases of Lyme disease in North America .

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word ( σπέρμα ) sperma ( meaning `` seed '' ) . In the types of sexual reproduction known as anisogamy and its subtype oogamy , there is a marked difference in the size of the gametes with the smaller one being termed the `` male '' or sperm cell . A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon , whereas a non-motile sperm cell is referred to as a spermatium . Sperm cells can not divide and have a limited life span , but after fusion with egg cells during fertilization , a new organism begins developing , starting as a totipotent zygote . The human sperm cell is haploid , so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell . In mammals , sperm develops in the testicles , stored in the epididymis , and is released from the penis .

In biology , cell theory is the historic scientific theory , now universally accepted , that living organisms are made up of cells . Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction . With continual improvements made to microscopes over time , magnification technology advanced enough to discover cells in the 17th century . This discovery is largely attributed to Robert Hooke , and began the scientific study of cells , also known as cell biology . Over a century later , many debates about cells began amongst scientists . Most of these debates involved the nature of cellular regeneration , and the idea of cells as a fundamental unit of life . Cell theory was eventually formulated in 1839 . This is usually credited to Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann . However , many other scientists like Rudolf Virchow contributed to the theory .

In philosophy , empiricism is a theory that states that knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience . It is one of several views of epistemology , the study of human knowledge , along with rationalism and skepticism . Empiricism emphasises the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas , over the idea of innate ideas or traditions . However , empiricists may argue that traditions ( or customs ) arise due to relations of previous sense experiences .

Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543 . It positioned the Sun near the center of the Universe , motionless , with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths modified by epicycles and at uniform speeds . The Copernican model departed from the Ptolemaic system that had prevailed for centuries , placing Earth at the center of the Universe , and is often regarded as the launching point to modern astronomy and the Scientific Revolution .

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients ( e.g. carbon ) it needs to live and reproduce . Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics . The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe 's ecological niche , and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical cycles .

The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame , and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution . It was invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves in Stanhill , Oswaldtwistle , Lancashire in England . The device reduced the amount of work needed to produce cloth , with a worker able to work eight or more spools at once . This grew to 120 as technology advanced . The yarn produced by the jenny was not very strong until Richard Arkwright invented the water - powered ' Water Frame ' , which produced yarn harder and stronger than that of the initial spinning jenny . It started the factory system .

In geophysics , a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth 's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks . Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material . The magnetic variation in successive bands of ocean floor parallel with mid-ocean ridges is important evidence supporting the theory of seafloor spreading , central to plate tectonics .

Skeleton in the closet or skeleton in the cupboard is a colloquial phrase and idiom used to describe an undisclosed fact about someone which , if revealed , would have a negative impact on perceptions of the person ; it hyperbolically evokes the idea of someone having had a ( presumedly human ) corpse concealed in their home so long that it had decomposed but for its bones . `` Cupboard '' is used in British English instead of the American English word `` closet '' . It is known to have been used as a phrase , at least as early as November 1816 , in the monthly British journal The Eclectic Review , page 468 . It is listed in both the Oxford English Dictionary , and Webster 's Dictionary , under the word `` skeleton '' . The `` Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary '' lists it under this but also as a separate idiom . In the most derisive of usage ; murder , or significant culpability in a years - old disappearance or non-understood event ( a mystery ) , may be implied by the phrase .
