    However, it can also be considered a wise response to certain demands that could present risky or negative outcomes or require waiting for new information to arrive. [ 2 ] From a cultural and social perspective, students from both Western and non-Western cultures are found to exhibit academic procrastination, but for different reasons.

  3. Yes and no - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_and_no

    Many other adverbs can also be used as sentence words in this way. [13] Unlike yes, no can also be an adverb of degree, applying to adjectives solely in the comparative (e.g., no greater, no sooner, but not no soon or no soonest), and an adjective when applied to nouns (e.g., "He is no fool." and Dyer's "No clouds, no vapours intervene.").

  4. Translation - Wikipedia

    The latter is a function of tools known broadly as machine translation. The tools speed up the translation process by assisting the human translator by memorizing or committing translations to a database (translation memory database) so that if the same sentence occurs in the same project or a future project, the content can be reused.

  5. Machine translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_translation

    Machine translation is use of computational techniques to translate text or speech from one language to another, including the contextual, idiomatic and pragmatic nuances of both languages. Early approaches were mostly rule-based or statistical. These methods have since been superseded by neural machine translation [1] and large language models ...

  6. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; [2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of ...

  7. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    Thus the measured value of the average one-way speed is dependent on the method used to synchronize the start and finish clocks. This is a matter of convention. The Lorentz transformation is defined such that the one-way speed of light will be measured to be independent of the inertial frame chosen. [8]

  8. Mind-wandering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-wandering

    The authors note that unhappy moods can also cause mind-wandering, but the time-lags between mind-wandering and mood suggests that mind-wandering itself can also lead to negative moods. [67] Furthermore, research suggests that regardless of working memory capacity, subjects participating in mind-wandering experiments report more mind-wandering ...

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The position of one component of a mechanical system relative to another is defined by introducing a reference frame, say M, on one that moves relative to a fixed frame, F, on the other. The rigid transformation, or displacement, of M relative to F defines the relative position of the two components.
