(86.4) 31.5 Caring Ptolemy's Almagest is the only surviving comprehensive ancient treatise on astronomy Babylonian astronomers had developed arithmetical techniques for calculating astronomical phenomena; Greek astronomers such as Hipparchus had produced geometric models for calculating celestial motions Ptolemy however claimed to have derived his geometrical models from selected astronomical observations by his predecessors spanning more than 800 years though astronomers have for centuries suspected that his models' parameters were adopted independently of observations. Ptolemy presented his astronomical models in convenient tables which could be used to compute the future or past position of the planets the Almagest also contains a star catalogue which is a version of a catalogue created by Hipparchus Its list of forty-eight constellations is ancestral to the modern system of constellations but unlike the modern system they did not cover the whole sky (only the sky Hipparchus could see) Across Europe the Middle East and North Africa in the Medieval period it was the authoritative text on astronomy with its author becoming an almost mythical figure called Ptolemy King of Alexandria the Almagest was preserved like most of extant Classical Greek science in Arabic manuscripts (hence its familiar name) Because of its reputation it was widely sought and was translated twice into Latin in the 12th century once in Sicily and again in Spain. Ptolemy's model like those of his predecessors was geocentric and was almost universally accepted until the appearance of simpler heliocentric models during the scientific revolution.

Some of the most well-known examples of city-state culture in human history are the ancient Greek city-states and the merchant city-states of Renaissance Italy which organised themselves as small independent centers The success of small regional units coexisting as autonomous actors in loose geographical and cultural unity as in Italy and Greece often prevented their amalgamation into larger national units.[citation needed] However such small political entities often survived only for short periods because they lacked the resources to defend themselves against incursions by larger states (such as Roman conquest of Greece) Thus they inevitably gave way to larger organisations of society including the empire and the nation-state.[need quotation to verify]! The western third of the island (West Java Banten and DKI Jakarta) has an even higher population density of nearly 1,500 per square kilometer and accounts for the lion's share of the population growth of Java. It is home to three metropolitan areas Greater Jakarta (with outlying areas of Greater Serang and Greater Sukabumi) Greater Bandung and Greater Cirebon, The PISA mathematics literacy test asks students to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems set in real-world contexts To solve the problems students must activate a number of mathematical competencies as well as a broad range of mathematical content knowledge TIMSS on the other hand measures more traditional classroom content such as an understanding of fractions and decimals and the relationship between them (curriculum attainment) PISA claims to measure education's application to real-life problems and lifelong learning (workforce knowledge), Objections in Malaysian Parliament. Historical affiliations In March 1871 the War Ministry announced the creation of an Imperial Guard (Goshinpei) of six thousand men, consisting of nine infantry battalions two artillery batteries and two cavalry squadrons the emperor donated 100,000 ryo to underwrite the new unit which was subordinate to the court it was composed of members of the Satsuma Choshu and Tosa domains who had led the restoration Satsuma provided four battalions of infantry and four artillery batteries; Choshu provided three battalions of infantry; Tosa two battalions of infantry two squadrons of cavalry and two artillery batteries. For the first time the Meiji government was able to organize a large body of soldiers under a consistent rank and pay scheme with uniforms which were loyal to the government rather than the domains the Imperial Guard's principal mission was to protect the throne by suppressing domestic samurai revolts peasant uprisings and anti-government demonstrations the possession of this military force was a factor in the government's abolition of the han system, Whether the initial forcing mechanism is internal or external the response of the climate system might be fast (e.g a sudden cooling due to airborne volcanic ash reflecting sunlight) slow (e.g thermal expansion of warming ocean water) or a combination (e.g sudden loss of albedo in the Arctic Ocean as sea ice melts followed by more gradual thermal expansion of the water) Therefore the climate system can respond abruptly but the full response to forcing mechanisms might not be fully developed for centuries or even longer, The world's first urban congestion-pricing scheme started in the city centre in 1975 Fully automated by Electronic Road Pricing in 1998 A Global Navigation Satellite System will replace physical gantries by 2020.
