Title: Dunning–Kruger effect Content: The Dunning–Kruger effect is a bias in thinking, usually where a person is unaware of how badly they grasp a subject, not understanding that they are failing at it. They mistakenly think that they are doing as well as "average" or even "above average". It is a psychological effect in which people don't realize their level of knowledge or ability in a subject. People who know little about a subject will think that they know more than they actually know. People of low ability may not have enough intelligence to fully grasp how complicated something can be, causing them to overestimate their knowledge or ability. This can cause them to underestimate the intelligence of a high ability person who claims something is complicated when they falsely believe they understand it fully. This effect was shown in an experiment that was done by Justin Kruger and David Dunning at Cornell University. Kruger, Justin; Dunning, David 1999. Unskilled and unaware of It: how difficulties in recognizing one's own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 77 (6): 1121–34. The investigators said: :"The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others". In 2000, Dunning and Kruger were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in the field of psychology for their study. ==Related pages== * Arrogance * Confidence * Megalomania * Narcissism

Title: Hoplite Content: thumb|312px|Hoplites shown in two attack positions, with both an overhand and underhand thrust. A hoplite was a citizen-soldier of the Ancient Greek city- states. A hoplite's main weapon was his spear. They fought close together in what was called a phalanx formation. In a phalanx, each man's shield protected himself and also gave some protection to the right arm of the man on his left. The word "hoplite" comes from the type of the shield used by the soldiers. hoplitēs; pl. hoplitai from "hoplon" , plural hopla In later texts, the term hoplite is used to denote any armoured infantry, regardless of armament or ethnicity. The armour of a hoplite included: #helmet with face covered #shield #body armour #greaves (leg armour) #sword #spear A hoplite was usually a free citizen who supplied his own armour and weapons. In most Greek city-states citizens received basic military training and served in the standing army for a specified time, participating in any military campaign undertaken during that period. The citizens of Sparta were renowned for their lifelong combat training and military prowess. Their great adversaries, the Athenians, were exempted from service after the 60th year of life. The phalanx trained to work as a team eight rows or more deep. The first row would stab at their opponents while trying to maintain close formation. The ranks behind would support them with their spears and gently push them with their shields, not to force them into the enemy but to keep them steady and in position. Upon command of an officer, the phalanx would take a certain number of steps forward. Phalanxes tended to drift right in battle as each hoplite sought to keep his right arm behind the shield of his neighbour. Also, the right side of the phalanx, where right arms were unprotected by neighboring shields, was more vulnerable than the left. Thus the most experienced hoplites were often placed on the right side of the phalanx to counteract these problems.
Title: Dance Dance Revolution Content: 256px|right|thumb|The classic dedicated cabinet. Dance Dance Revolution or Dancing Stage in Europe is a series of video games made by Konami in which players step on arrows on a large pad or mat to match the arrows on screen. The arrows are in time with the music. Because players are moving themselves along to the music, they look like they are dancing. There is a large variety of music. There is a bar at the top of the screen. If players make mistakes, the bar gets smaller. If players do not make mistakes, the bar grows. The game ends if the player makes too many mistakes. Players can choose between three levels. They are called light, standard, and heavy. Light is easy and heavy is hard. On some of the newer games, there is a beginner mode, which is very easy, and a challenge mode, which is very hard. Players are graded by their performance in letters (from lowest to highest, E, D, C, B, A, AA and AAA) based on how well they played the song. The better a player does on a song, the higher their grade is. From DDR SuperNOVA to later versions, the levels are called beginner, basic, difficult, expert, and challenge. ==Music== There is a wide variety of music in Dance Dance Revolution. Most of the songs are created by people at Konami, with some other well-known popular songs included as well. From the first Dance Dance Revolution game up until DDR Extreme, the games had a partnership with Toshiba EMI, a record company which is now part of Virgin Records. This partnership meant that a lot of popular songs from Toshiba EMI's Dancemania series of dance music albums could appear in the games. ==Extras== If the player gets an "AA" on the last stage in "Expert", "Heavy", or "Challenge", they can play an extra stage. Usually, on the extra stage, the game ends if four mistakes are made. If the player performs well enough on the extra stage, an Encore extra stage is played. In the Encore extra stage, one missed step will cause the game to end. ==Other places== Some educators even believe DDR should be in schools as exercise."DDR: A Great Exercise Benefit for the Class." ==List of games== ===Main series=== # Dance Dance Revolution (1998) # Dance Dance Revolution 2ndMix (1999) # Dance Dance Revolution Best of School Dancers (1999) # Dance Dance Revolution 2ndMix with Beatmania IIDX Cluib Version (1999) # Dance Dance Revolution 2ndMix Link Version # Dancing Stage featuring True Kiss Destination # Dance Dance Revolution Karaoke Mix # Dancing Stage Dreams Come True # Dance Dance Revolution Karaoke Mix 2nd # Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix # Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix # DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution # Dance Dance Revolution (2001) # Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMix # Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMix 2nd # DDRMAX 2: Dance Dance Revolution

Title: Absolute threshold of hearing Content: The absolute threshold of hearing (ATH) is the minimum loudness of a pure tone that an average ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present. The absolute threshold relates to the sound that can just be heard by the organism. This is also known as the auditory threshold. The threshold of hearing in humans is 20 µPa (micropascals) = 2×10−5 pascal (Pa). The tympanic membrane of the ear operates as a sound pressure sensor, as does a microphone == Psychophysical methods for measuring thresholds == Measurement of the absolute hearing threshold provides some basic information about our auditory system. The tools used to collect such information are called psychophysical methods. == Role of frequency == Because human hearing is more sensitive to some frequency bands than others, thresholds vary depending on the frequency of the stimulus tone.

Title: Spinosauridae Content: Spinosauridae (meaning 'spined lizards') is a family of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They are unique among other meat-eating dinosaurs from their more water-based lifestyle, which involved a diet of mostly fish. Spinosaurid fossils have been found all over the world, including Asia, South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia. == Description == 350px|thumb|left|Size comparison of various spinosaurids with a human Spinosaurids had longer arms than most theropods, the claw on the first finger was usually the largest. They evolved jaws like those of crocodiles, and their teeth were long and cone-shaped, made to trap prey in their mouths instead of tearing them apart. Because of this, their teeth usually did not have the strong knife-like edges (called serrations) of a lot of other meat- eating dinosaurs.Sereno, Paul C., Allison L. Beck, Didier B. Dutheil, Boubacar Gado, Hans C. E. Larsson, Gabrielle H. Lyon, Jonathan D. Marcot, et al. 1998. “A Long-Snouted Predatory Dinosaur from Africa and the Evolution of Spinosaurids.” Science 282 (5392): 1298–1302. doi:10.1126/science.282.5392.1298.Rayfield, Emily J. 2011. “Structural Performance of Tetanuran Theropod Skulls, with Emphasis on the Megalosauridae, Spinosauridae and Carcharodontosauridae.” Special Papers in Palaeontology 86 (November). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250916680_Structural_performance_of_tetanuran_theropod_skulls_with_emphasis_on_the_Megalosauridae_Spinosauridae_and_Carcharodontosauridae. The family contains Spinosaurus, the first spinosaurid discovered, and the largest carnivorous dinosaur we know of. Paleontologists suggest it might have reached up to 15 meters (49 ft.) in length. Supplementary Information == Paleobiology == A study made in 2010 by Roman Amiot and his colleagues found that spinosaurids had very semiaquatic (living partly in water, and partly on land) lifestyles, this means they lived in habitats like those of hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and turtles, making them very unusual compared to other theropods. It also means they could exist at the same time and place as other large predators without competing for food. For example; Carcharodontosaurus, which lived at the same time as Sigilmassasaurus and Spinosaurus, did not need to fight with either of those animals for prey; those spinosaurids ate fish, while Carcharodontosaurus was on land most of the time, hunting smaller dinosaurs. == Classification == The family "Spinosauridae" was named by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915, he was the one that discovered the first genus in the group, Spinosaurus. And as scientists discovered more fossils of its close relatives, the family was eventually split into two subfamilies: Baryonychinae, and Spinosaurinae. This was done because of differences in the anatomy of their skulls and teeth. thumb|Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, the largest meat-eating dinosaur This is a cladogram made in 2017 showing the relationships between different spinosaurids inside of megalosauroidea.

Title: Physical constant Content: In science, a physical constant is a number (physical quantity) that does not change. This is different from a mathematical constant, which is not based on a real measurement. There are many physical constants in science. Some famous ones are the speed of light, Planck's constant, the gravitational constant, and Avogadro's number. Some scientists think that physical constants may decrease as the universe gets older. There has been no evidence to support this yet. Constants that do not have units (like length or speed) are called fundamental physical constants. Some believe that if the physical constants were different, there would be no life in the universe. They say that the universe seems to be fine-tuned for intelligent life. == Table of physical constants ==  ==Related pages== * physical law Category:Physical quantity Category:Physical constants
