total cost of ownership - sports utility vehicle - the center of mass of the car

"1644: Evangelista Torricelli : reductio ad absurdum
Two weights joined together cannot begin to move by themselves unless their common center of gravity descends"
A higher ride height and ground clearance means that the wheels have more vertical room to travel and absorb road shocks. ... For a higher ride height, the center of mass of the car is higher, which makes for less precise and more dangerous handling characteristics (most notably, the chance of rollover is higher).

Need to enter the first semester in the same programme of study, at the Faculty of Philosophy.
Would like to request a trial week or two if possible, to decide on possible transferal.
VMU had gymnastics previously but dance is disintegrated, in the second level/ second-tier form.
Will probably have to do after I graduate from here.

stone space
November 29, 2020
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a Stone space, also known as a profinite space,[1] is a compact totally disconnected Hausdorff space
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a Hausdorff space, separated space or T2 space is a topological space where for any two distinct points there exist neighbourhoods of each which are disjoint from each other.

"maxims"
November 29, 2020
Intuitively, the Boolean prime ideal theorem states that there are "enough" prime ideals in a Boolean algebra in the sense that we can extend every ideal to a maximal one.

The corticospinal tract is a white matter motor pathway starting at the cerebral cortex that terminates on lower motor neurons and interneurons in the spinal cord, controlling movements of the limbs and trunk.
About 30% of corticospinal neurons originate in the primary motor cortex, 30% more in the premotor cortex and supplementary motor areas, with the remaining 40% distributed between the somatosensory cortex, the parietal lobe, and cingulate gyrus

The cingulate cortex is usually considered part of the limbic lobe.
However, connections to the somatosensory cortex suggest that the pyramidal tracts are also responsible for modulating sensory information from the body.[1] Because some of the connections cross the midline at the level of the medulla and others at the level of the spinal cord, each side of the brain is responsible for controlling muscles on the opposite side of the body.[1]
"Imaginary -1" i(squared)=-1
The primary purpose of the corticospinal tract is for voluntary motor control of the body and limbs.
However, connections to the somatosensory cortex suggest that the pyramidal tracts are also responsible for modulating sensory information from the body.[1]

The hypothalamus (from Ancient Greek ὑπό, "under", and θάλαμος, "chamber") is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system.[1]
The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviours, thirst,[2] fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms
It is found in all vertebrate nervous systems. In mammals, magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the paraventricular nucleus and the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus produce neurohypophysial hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin. These hormones are released into the blood in the posterior pituitary.
[[[[[There are two sets of nerve cells in the hypothalamus that produce hormones. One set sends the hormones they produce down through the pituitary stalk to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland where these hormones are released directly into the bloodstream. These hormones are anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin. Anti-diuretic hormone causes water reabsorption at the kidneys...
