Convergence

Atmospheric Global Circulation is the movement of air caused by solar energy and the interaction of warm and cold air - this convergence forms cells or belts over the Earth’s surface. George Hadley (1685–1768) a British physicist and meteorologist, who first described this theory in 1753, did so using what is known as the Single-Cell Atmospheric Global Circulation Model or Hadley Cell (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 2007). Hadley’s Single-Cell theory failed to consider the Coriolis…

yet another possibility for convergence by stating that, although he had not made a final decision regarding the movement toward IFRS, he believed that the United States should not follow “the convergence or endorsement approach.” Rather, it should adopt a modified approach that he labeled “condorsement.” Under condorsement, U.S. GAAP would continue to exist, and the IASB and FASB would continue their convergence projects. In addition, FASB would work toward convergence of existing U.S.…

The goal of this theme is to understand how two worlds come together, known as the term convergence. Convergence means, “the way two or more private symbolic worlds incline toward each other, come more closely together, or even overlap during a certain process of communication” (Foss 97).

What is “convergence” as applied in cybertechnology? How might it influence the courses you teach online in coming years? Convergence within cybertechnology is the tendency for seemingly distinct elements of computing and informational technologies, to evolve upon interaction through informing and changing each other, and ultimately synergizing to create something new. As Rheingold (1992) describes it, technological convergence is a “‘phenomenon that occurs when apparently unrelated scientific…

To augment the total stock of capital, countries need to save and invest in order to accelerate on the path of development. Large stock of physical capital per worker will increase the viable level of income by increasing the productivity of each worker as a result the worker will have extra physical capital to work with. It was realized that the poor nations face trouble in accumulation of this capital as their low level of income signifies limited savings which is not enough to finance new…

converted to Christianity right away. “Although many Native Americans resisted the missionaries, they eventually made converts out of groups such as the Comanches and Kiowas” (Lavenda, Schultz, Anthropology: What Does It Mean to Be Human, pg.244). The convergence of the Comanches and Kiowas was successful,…
