Belgium
Fine arts
There have been many additions to painting and architecture. Several examples of major architectural places in Belgium belong to UNESCO's World Heritage List. In the 15th century the religious paintings of Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden were important. The 16th century had more styles such as Peter Breughel's landscape paintings and Lambert Lombard's showing of the antique. The style of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck was strong in the early 17th century in the Southern Netherlands.
During the 19th and 20th centuries many original romantic, expressionist and surrealist Belgian painters started. These include James Ensor and other artists in the Les XX group, Constant Permeke, Paul Delvaux and René Magritte. The sculptor Panamarenko is still a remarkable figure in contemporary art. The artist Jan Fabre and the painter Luc Tuymans are other internationally known figures in contemporary art.
Belgian contributions to architecture were also in the 19th and 20th centuries. Victor Horta and Henry van de Velde were major starters of the Art Nouveau style.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, there were major violinists, such as Henri Vieuxtemps, Eugène Ysaÿe and Arthur Grumiaux. Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1846. The composer César Franck was born in Liège in 1822. Newer music in Belgium is also famous. Jazz musician Toots Thielemans and singer Jacques Brel have made global fame. In rock/pop music, Telex, Front 242, K's Choice, Hooverphonic, Zap Mama, Soulwax and dEUS are well known. In the heavy metal scene, bands like Machiavel, Channel Zero and Enthroned have a worldwide fan-base.
Belgium has several well-known authors, including the poet Emile Verhaeren and novelists Hendrik Conscience, Georges Simenon, Suzanne Lilar and Amélie Nothomb. The poet and playwright Maurice Maeterlinck won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1911. The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé is the best known of Franco-Belgian comics. Many other major authors, including Peyo, André Franquin, Edgar P. Jacobs and Willy Vandersteen brought the Belgian cartoon strip industry a worldwide fame.
Cuisine
Belgium is famous for beer, chocolate, waffles and french fries. French fries were first made in Belgium. The national dishes are "steak and fries with salad", and "mussels with fries". Other local fast food dishes include a Mitraillette. Brands of Belgian chocolate and pralines, like Côte d'Or, Guylian, Neuhaus, Leonidas, Corné and Galler are famous. Belgium makes over 1100 varieties of beer. The Trappist beer of the Abbey of Westvleteren has repeatedly been rated the world's best beer. The biggest brewer in the world by volume is Anheuser-Busch InBev, based in Leuven.
Healthcare in the Netherlands
For short-term health care the cost is met 50% from employers, 45% from the insured person and 5% by the government. People under 18 are free. Although there is help with the cost from the government poorer people can often end up paying between 20-25% of their income in healthcare costs.
Belgium
Sports
Since the 1970s, sports clubs are organised separately by each language community.

Nyctimantis brunoi
Bruno's casque-headed frog or Bruno's bony-headed frog (Nyctimantis brunoi) is a frog that lives in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Scientists think it might live in Brazil too. Scientists have seen it between 200 and 1200 meters above sea level.
Appearance
The adult male frog is 48.88 to 62.42 mm long from nose to rear end. The adult female frog is 56.32 to 81.24 mm long. The frog's head is longer than it is wide.
Actions
This frog hides during the day and looks for food at night. This frog has a bony head. It looks for holes in trees where it can hide. The frog goes into the hole and then puts its head against the opening to cover it. This frog can make a substance in its skin. The substance has chemicals and toxins in it that can make human skin hurt. Scientists think the frog might make this substance to stop other animals from eating it, but they have never seen the frog do this. When a human scientist picks up the frog, it usually stays very still. Scientists think the frog escapes from predators by pretending to be dead.
This frog does not lay eggs in holes in trees. Scientists are not sure, but they think it lays eggs in temporary bodies of water that form on the sand during the rainy season. The female frog lays eggs early so the tadpoles have time to grow into young frogs before the pools dry up.
Food
This frog will eat almost any animal with bones on the outside, for example insects, spiders, and centipedes. But it can also eat some plants. It will eat other frogs if it can catch them.
Threats
This frog is not in danger of dying out but there are fewer ofthem than there were because human beings change the places where the frog lives. Human beings cut down forests to build farms and cities and to allow animals to eat grass.

Trebuchet
A Trebuchet was a device used in wars and sieges in the Middle Ages. It could be used to throw stones at ramparts, trying to break them down. It could also be used to throw things over the walls of a city. These could be corpses of animals or people that had died of the plague. Trebuchets were more accurate than other medieval catapults. Trebuchets were first made in China in the 4th century BC.
How it works
The trebuchet works in a simple way. The basket of the trebuchet is filled with heavy rocks. This acts as a counterweight for the other end, which is usually filled with one large rock. Several men arm the trebuchet by raising the counterweight up and the firing arm down. At this point the arm is released, the heavy basket swings down and the arm swings up, launching the rock far and fast. The sling adds an additional 10-15 feet of arm length and gives the projectile a whip like speed then releases. The sling gives the projectile most of its speed.
Ogg
Ogg is a free, open standard format for music, video and other multimedia. It is run by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The Ogg format is unrestricted by software patents and is designed to provide for efficient Internet streaming and for editing of high quality digital multimedia.
The project was based on the popular AVI and Ogg formats, which at the time only supported audio. Some time ago, the OGG Vorbis format was created to change the mp3 format. To store the vorbis audio stream, the OGG Bitstream standard was developed, which was later used to store video.
Recently a big library on the internet, the Internet Archive, announced that they are going to convert many videos and other multimedia to the Ogg format as well as other formats like the proprietary Adobe Flash flv format.

Image processing
In electrical engineering and computer science, Image processing is any form of processing for which the input is an image or a series of images or videos, such as photographs or frames of video. The output of image processing can be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. It also means "Analyzing and manipulating images with a computer".
Image processing is performed in three steps:
First, import images with an optical devices like a scanner or a camera, or make them by computer-generated imagery.
Second, manipulate or analyze the images in some way. This step can include image improvement and data summary, or the images are analyzed to find rules that aren't seen by the human eyes. For example, meteorologists use this processing to analyze satellite photographs.
Last, output the result of image processing. The result might be the image changed by some way or it might be a report based on analysis or result of the images.
In the 21st century image processing is usually "digital", but optical and analog image methods are still used.

Photoelectric effect
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in physics. The effect is based on the idea that electromagnetic radiation is made of a series of particles called photons. When a photon hits an electron on a metal surface, the electron can be emitted. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. The effect is also called the Hertz Effect, because it was discovered by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, but this name is not used often. The photoelectric effect has helped physicists understand the quantum nature of light and electrons. The concept of wave–particle duality was developed because of the photoelectric effect. Albert Einstein proposed the Laws of Photoelectric Effect and won the Nobel Prize For Physics 1921.
Mechanism
Not every electromagnetic wave will cause the photoelectric effect, only radiation of a certain frequency or higher will cause the effect. The minimum frequency needed is called the "cutoff frequency" or "threshold frequency'. The cutoff frequency is used to find the work function, w, which is the amount of energy holding the electron to the metal surface. The work function is a property of the metal and is not affected by the incoming radiation. If a frequency of light strikes the metal surface that is greater than the cutoff frequency, then the emitted electron will have some kinetic energy.
The intensity of the light alone does not cause ejection of electrons. Only light of the cut off frequency or higher can do that. However, increasing the intensity of light will increase the number of electrons being emitted, as long as the frequency is above the cut off frequency.
History
Heinrich Hertz made the first observation of the photoelectric effect in 1887. He reported that a spark jumped more readily between two charged spheres if light was shining on them. Further studies were done to learn about the effect observed by Hertz. In 1902, Philipp Lenard showed that the kinetic energy of a photoelectron does not depend on the light intensity. However, it was not until 1905 that Einstein proposed a theory that explained the effect fully. The theory says that electromagnetic radiation is a series of particles, called photons. The photons collide with the electrons on the surface and emit them. This theory ran against the belief that electromagnetic radiation was a wave. Thus, at first it was not recognised as correct. In 1916, Robert Millikan published the results of experiments using a vacuum photo-tube. His work showed that Einstein's photoelectric equation explained the behaviour very accurately. However, Millikan and other scientists were slower to accept Einstein's theory of light quanta. Maxwell's wave theory of electromagnetic radiation cannot explain the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation. These are explained by quantum mechanics.

Limit (mathematics)
In mathematics, a limit is an expected value of a function or sequence based on the points around it. As a function performs operations on different inputs, this can cause strange results with certain numbers, especially if we try to plot them on a Cartesian graph; limits are a way of explaining what happens in these cases.
Format
Limits are used to define many topics in calculus, like continuity, derivatives, and integrals.
For a function f, limit are written like this:
which reads "the limit of f of x, as x approaches c equals L". An alternative notation is "f(x) \to L as x \to c", which reads "f(x) tends to L as x tends to c". Limit is shortened to lim.
For a sequence x_n, the similar notation is used.
Example
Imagine we have a function that takes an input, x, and then outputs \frac{1}{x} to y. If we were to draw a graph using x and y as coordinates, the results would look like this:

Limit (mathematics)
Example
As we can see here, division by zero is undefined. But if we look closer, then we can see that we still have valid output—as long as we never reach zero:
Mia Todorović
She played at the 2010 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship. and 2013 CEV Volleyball European Championship.
She played for Žok Rijeka and OTP Banka Pula.
Limit (mathematics)
Example
This problem is unique to zero as the function still works on every value up to zero, even if we approach from the negative side. As input numbers get arbitrarily small, the output will simply get arbitrarily large, and if we draw this on a graph, the line will stretch upwards without bound before it touches 0 on either axis.
One way we describe this is "The limit of as x approaches 0, from the right side, is \infty", meaning that  can keep increasing beyond bounds, as long as x doesn't reach 0. Mathematically, this is written as:.
Applications
While a limit cannot be reached, it can be approached to get a more accurate output value. For example, the mathematical constant e (Euler's number) can be found by calculating, where n is an input:
While the equation will never be equal to e, putting in a larger input will get us closer to it, and make our output more accurate. Mathematically, we can express this by saying that "The limit of as n approaches \infty is e", which is noted as.

Lamarckism
Lamarckism (also called Lamarckian evolution) is a wrong hypothesis regarding evolution. Evolution tries to explain how species change over time. Today, the only widely accepted theory of evolution is that developed from the ideas of Charles Darwin.
Lamarckism is named after Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck. He based his ideas, to some extent, on those of Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin. Lamarckism says that individuals do not only pass on the things they received from their parents, but also some things they experienced during their lifetime. As an example, he cited giraffes. Giraffes, which have long necks, must have evolved from ancestors with much shorter necks. His idea was that adults needed to stretch their neck to reach leaves from high branches. Therefore, he thought, the children inherited longer necks. This idea is called the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Although Darwin did not entirely break with these ideas, his characteristic idea of natural selection relates to the individuals's relative survival and success in reproduction. Better adapted forms leave, on average, more offspring. This changes the proportion of alleles in the population.
Gregor Mendel discovered some basic rules of heredity. These rules of Mendelian inheritance contradict Lamarck's hypotheses entirely, but are consistent with natural selection. This explains why Lamarck's ideas are no longer regarded as a sound explanation of evolution. Where Lamarck and Darwin do agree is that evolution did take place.
