P-value

In statistics, a p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis (the idea that a theory being tested is false) gives for a specific experimental result to happen.  p-value is also called probability value.  If the p-value is low, the null hypothesis is unlikely, and the experiment has statistical significance as evidence for a different theory.

In many fields, an experiment must have a p-value of less than 0.05 for the experiment to be considered evidence of the alternative hypothesis. In short, a low p-value means a higher chance of the null hypothesis being false.

Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory

Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (abbreviated ZF) is a system of axioms used to describe set theory.  When the axiom of choice is added to ZF, the system is called ZFC.  It is the system of axioms used in set theory by most mathematicians today.

After Russell's paradox was found in the 1901, mathematicians wanted to find a way to describe set theory that did not have contradictions.  Ernst Zermelo proposed a theory of set theory in 1908.  In 1922, Abraham Fraenkel proposed a new version based on Zermelo's work.

Axioms

An axiom is a statement which is accepted without question, and which has no proof.  ZF contains eight axioms.

 The axiom of extension says that two sets are equal if and only if they have the same elements.  For example, the set  and the set  are equal.
 The axiom of foundation says that every set  (other than the empty set) contains an element that is disjoint (shares no members) with .
 The axiom of specification says that given a set , and a predicate  (a function that is either true or false), that a set exists that contains exactly those elements of  where  is true.  For example, if , and  is "this is an even number", then the axiom says that the set  exists.
 The axiom of pairing says that given two sets, there is a set whose members are exactly the two given sets.  So, given the two sets  and , this axiom says that the set  exists.
 The axiom of union says that for any set, there exists a set that consists of just the elements of the elements of that set.  For example, given the set , this axiom says that the set  exists.
 The axiom of replacement says that for any set  and a function , that the set consisting of the results of calling  on all the members of  exists.  For example, if  and  is "add ten to this number", then the axiom says that the set  exists.
 The axiom of infinity says that the set of all integers (as defined by the Von Neumann construction) exists.  This is the set 
 The axiom of power set says that the power set (the set of all subsets) of any set exists.  For example, the power set of  is

Axiom of choice

The axiom of choice says that it is possible to take one object out of each of the elements of a set and make a new set.  For example, given the set , the axiom of choice would show that a set such as  exists.  For finite sets, this axiom can be proved from the other axioms, but not for infinite sets.

Disjoint sets

In mathematics, two sets are disjoint when they have no elements in common.  For example, the sets  and  are disjoint, but the sets  and  are not disjoint.

Set theory
Power set

In mathematics, the power set of a set S, written as  or , is the set of all subsets of S. In terms of cardinality, a power set is larger than the set it originates from. If S is a finite set with n elements, then  would have  elements.

Examples

Second Anglo-Mysore War

The Second Anglo-Mysore War was a conflict that took place on the Indian Subcontinent from 1780 to 1784. The war ended without a clear victory on either side. The Treaty of Mangalore restored the situation to the state before the war broke out. The war involved the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India Company. The Kingdom of Mysore was a large kingdom, in the South of India. It was an ally of the French. The East India Company was on the side of the English.

Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore, committed himself to a French alliance to seek revenge against the British.  The British had problems with Mysore because it had an alliance with the French.

Hyder Ali And Tipu Sultan
The army of Hyder was one of the largest armies in India. In 1780, his army swept down the Eastern Ghats (mountains) and burnt the villages. Hyder set about forming a confederacy against the British. This included the French, the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad. Hyder Ali overthrew the government and established his authority over the Mysore state. Hyder Ali tried to made a treaty with the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad, but both of them decided not to take up arms against the British so Hyder Ali ended up fighting the war on his own. Hyder died in 1782 but Tipu Sultan proved to be a worthy successor, He introduced many reforms to overhaul and reorganize the administrative machinery. He also modernized the army.

The Treaty
The battle remained indecisive and peace was finally concluded with Tipu on 28 June 1784. The war ended by signing the peace treaty in 1784. The treaty was named as the treaty of Mangalore because the treaty was signed in Mangalore. The Treaty of Mangalore was signed between Tipu Sultan and the British East India Company on 11 March 1784. It was signed in Mangalore and brought an end to the Second Anglo-Mysore War.

Causes of the war
The British had problems with Mysore because it had an alliance with the French. The Marathas attacked Hyder Ali and the British signed a treaty saying that they would help Hyder, but they never cared to show up. Between 1773 and 1779 Hyder Ali was expanding his kingdom. To counter the British threat, Nana Phadnavis,  the Maratha chief minister at Pune formed an alliance with the Marathas, Mysore and the Nizam of Hyderabad.

Pastry dough is rolled out and cut in a circle. The raw filling is placed on half the circle, then the pastry is folded in half over the filling to cover it. The edges are then sealed by crimping (firmly pressed together), and baked. The baking time for the filling and the pastry is the same.

The pasty is made as a single-serving portion, for one person's meal. It's made to be held in the hand and does not need any cutlery. It may be eaten hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Uses
A pasty is portable and convenient to eat. It can be easily be taken to the workplace and kept until a mealtime break. No refrigeration is required if eaten the same day. The sealed, baked dough keeps the filling warm for hours after baking. A pasty could also be reheated by placing on or near a heat source - even by holding over a candle where no oven is available.

Fort Provintia

Fort Provintia is a defense base in Tainan, a city in south Taiwan, built by the Dutch in 1653, and now a historic site.

History

The Dutch Era (1624~1662) 
In 1624, the Dutch colonized southern Taiwan in order to trade with mainland China. Before the fort was built, the place was a center of commercial trade. The fort was built by the Dutch to prevent another rebellion after the local people, led by Guo Huai-yi, went against the Dutch in 1652. The fort was still used as a trade center. The Dutch made the fort with red bricks and mortar, which were a mixture of water, sugar, sticky rice and oyster shells.

The Zheng Era (1662~1683) 
In 1662,  Koxinga, the ruler of Zheng dynasty,expelled the Dutch, and the fort was used as his government with the new name Chen-Tien Fu. In 1664, the fort was abandoned as a place of government and was used as a place to store gunpowder.

The Qing Era (1683~1895) 
In 1683, the ruler of Zheng dynasty surrendered to the Qing. In 1721, the fort was damaged when Zhu Yigui led uprising against the government. Also through the following years, the fort was destroyed by several earthquakes only a few walls remained. The chief administrator, Sheng Shou Qien, built the Penghu Academy in 1886. It is a Qing style building located at the west side of the fort. In 1879, both the Wunchang Pavilion (Temple of Literature God) and the Hai-She Temple（Temple of Sea God）were built by the emperor’s administrator, Shen Baozhen. The Wunchang Pavilion and the Hai-She Temple are located in the central part of the fort. The Wunchang Pavilion was built in honor of Wun- Chang, God of Literature. The Hai-She Temple was built in honor of God of the Sea.

The Japanese Era (1895~1945) 
In 1895, the Qing lost the First Sino-Japanese War and gave away the territory of Taiwan to Japan. The Japanese began to use the fort as an army hospital. In 1944, the Japanese began to restore the buildings including the walls that the Dutch had built, the Hai-Shen Temple, the Wunchang Pavilion and the Penghu Academy.

After 1945 
After WWII, Japan retreated from Taiwan. Then the fort was renamed Chihkan Tower and became an exhibition center. In 1960, the imperial tortoise statues and the stone monuments with historical records from the Great South Gate, part of the original 14 gates of the Tainan City Wall, were moved to the south Chihkan Tower.
