Although any given organism is severely limited in its range of behaviour patterns and sensory capabilities, life as a whole is remarkably sensitive to aspects of its local social and physical environment.
At one end of this spectrum is Martha Nussbaum's well-known list, which contains prescribed capabilities that are grouped together under ten "central human capabilities": life; bodily health; bodily integrity; senses, imagination and thought; emotions; practical reason; affiliation; other species; play; and control over one's environment (Nussbaum 2006: 76 78).
Engineering asset management (EAM) is a multi-disciplinary activity that aims to tackle the issues of asset capability, life, safety, maintenance and reliability, taking into account economical and managerial factors.
Herein, we have successfully and greatly improved the performance of LTO anodes, in terms of rate capability, life and specific capacity in particular via dot-to-face anatase TiO2 in-situ decoration and hierarchical structure construction under a facile approach (directly using the tetrabutyl titanate as titanium source instead of specially prepared titanium oxide precursors).
While our human characteristics of reflection and acculturation add both possibilities and problems (of which more below), it is important to emphasize that we are biological organisms and share with other organisms the more basic capabilities of life as a process in which there is no clear separation between living and preparing for future life.
Her Scarlett Johansson's husky voice brings Samantha, a Siri-esque computer operating system with accelerated learning capabilities, to life.
In effect, aspirational house photos make your builder's grade cabinets seem like a personal failing, a comment not only on your home but on your career success, earning capabilities and life choices.
The present report covers the pulse capabilities, cycle life and preliminary safety tests.
Indeed, if egregious practices such as female genital mutilation and female confinement violate capabilities for life, nutrition and bodily integrity, all inequalities based on gender hierarchies, in Nussbaum's view, undermine capabilities for self-respect and emotional development that are part of human functioning.
Martha Nussbaum, expanded on the model with a more complete list of central capabilities including life, health, bodily integrity, thought, and more.
Specimens this complete are virtual 'Rosetta stones' providing insight into functional capabilities and life history of extinct animals that cannot be gained any other way.
