Cuboid



In anatomy, the cuboid bone is a bone in the end.
Cuboid

In geometry, a cuboid is a firm figure bounded by six rectangular faces: a rectangular box. All angles are right angles, and opposite faces of a cuboid are identical. It is also a correct rectangular prism. The term "rectangular or oblong prism" is
indefinite. Also the term rectangular parallelepiped is used.

The square cuboid, square box or right square prism (also ambiguously called square prism) is a particular case of the cuboid in which at least two faces are squares. The cube is a special case of the square prism in which every one faces are squares.

If the proportions of a cuboid are a, b and c, then its volume is abc and its surface area is 2ab + 2bc + 2ac.

It is a rounded polyhedron. It contains faces that enclose a single region of space. It has 6 faces, and 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

Euler's formula (the number of faces (F), vertices (V), and edges (E) of a polyhedron are associated by the formula F + V = E + 2 gives here 6 + 8 = 12 + 2.

Cuboid shapes are a lot used for boxes, cupboards, rooms, buildings, etc. Cuboids are among those solids that can tesselate 3-dimensional space. The shape is reasonably versatile in being able to contain several smaller cuboids, e.g. sugar cubes in a box, small boxes in a large box, a cupboard in a room, and rooms in a building.

Rectangle

In geometry, a rectangle is defined as a four-sided figure where all four of its angles are right angles.

From this definition, it follows that a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides; that is, a rectangle is a quadrilateral. A square is a exceptional kind of rectangle where all four sides have equal length; that is, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. A rectangle that is not a square is colloquially known as an four-sided figure.

Normally, of the two opposite pairs of sides in a rectangle, the duration of the longer side is called the length of the rectangle, and the duration of the shorter side is called the width. (Exception: For rectangular steel sheets, the rolling direction is called length, even if it is the shorter side.)

The area of a rectangle is the multiplication of its length and its width; in symbols, A = lw. For example, the area of a rectangle with a length of 6 and a width of 5 would be 30, because 6*5=30

In a rectangle the diagonals cross each others at their respective midpoints, under the same argument as for parallelograms. And unlike general parallelograms the two diagonals of a rectangle have the same length, the length of the diagonal can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

In calculus, the Riemann fundamental can be thought of as a limit of sums of the areas of arbitrarily thin rectangles.

Sports

Perfect is a physical phenomenon known to athletes? When a person exercise at a certain level for a certain period over a certain number of weeks, their body will raise its metabolism to a higher level - it will continue at this level as long as a certain amount of exercise is performed each couple of days. This result was discovered by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper for the United States Air Force in the late 1960s. Dr. Cooper coined the term "Training Effect" for this.

The measured effects were that muscles of respiration were strengthened, the heart was strengthened, blood pressure was infrequently lowered and the total amount of blood and number of red blood cells increased, making the blood a more competent carrier of oxygen. VO2 Max was amplified.

The exercise necessary can be talented by any aerobic exercise in a wide diversity of schedules - Dr. Cooper found it best to award "points" for each amount of exercise and require 30 points a week to preserve the Training Effect.

As it would be foolish for someone unconditioned to challenge 30 points in their first week, Dr. Cooper instead recommends a "12-minute test" followed by adherence to the appropriate starting-up schedule in his book. As always, he recommends that a physical exam should lead any exercise program.

Fashionable watches

At the end of the 20th century, Swiss watch makers were seeing their sales go down as analog clocks were considered unfashionable. They joined forces with designers from many countries to reinvent the Swiss watch. The result was that they could considerably decrease the pieces and production time of an analog watch. In fact it was so cheap that if a watch broke it would be cheaper to fling it away and buy a new one than to repair it. One of these Swiss watch manufacturers in progress a new brand, Swatch, and called graphic designers to revamp a new annual collection.

Designer jeans

Designer jeans are high-fashion jeans that are marketed as position symbols. The Nakash brothers (Joe, Ralph, and Avi) are normally credited with starting the trend when they launched their Jordache line of jeans in 1978. Designer jeans are cut for women and men and frequently worn skin-tight. They typically feature prominently able to be seen designer names or logos on the back pockets and on the right front coin-pocket.

Dutch East Indies

The Dutch East Indies, or Netherlands East Indies, (Dutch: Nederlands-Indiƫ; Indonesian: Hindia-Belanda) was created from the nationalized colonies of the former Dutch East India Company that came under administration of the Netherlands throughout the nineteenth century, and now form modern-day Indonesia.

Health care

Health care, or healthcare, is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the defense of mental and physical well being through the services available by the medical, nursing, and allied health professions. According to the World Health Organization, health care embrace all the goods and services measured to promote health, as well as preventive, curative and palliative interventions, whether going to be individuals or to populations. The organized provision of such services may make up a health care system. This can include an exact governmental organization such as, in the UK, the National Health Service or cooperation across the National Health Service and Social Services as in Shared Care. Before the term "health care" become popular, English-speakers referred to medicine or to the health sector and spoke of the behavior and prevention of illness and disease.
