Neutral monism is an umbrella term for a class of metaphysical theories in the philosophy of mind,concerning the relation of mind to matter. These theories take the fundamental nature of reality to be neither mental nor physical;in other words it is "neutral".
Neutral or neutrality may refer to:
Three-phase electric power is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation,transmission,and distribution. It is a type of polyphase system employing three wires and is the most common method used by electrical grids worldwide to transfer power.
A third-person pronoun is a pronoun that refers to an entity other than the speaker or listener. Some languages with gender-specific pronouns have them as part of a grammatical gender system,a system of agreement where most or all nouns have a value for this grammatical category. A few languages with gender-specific pronouns,such as English,Afrikaans,Defaka,Khmu,Malayalam,Tamil,and Yazgulyam,lack grammatical gender;in such languages,gender usually adheres to "natural gender",which is often based on biological sex. Other languages,including most Austronesian languages,lack gender distinctions in personal pronouns entirely,as well as any system of grammatical gender.
Schnapps or schnaps is a type of alcoholic beverage that may take several forms,including distilled fruit brandies,herbal liqueurs,infusions,and "flavored liqueurs" made by adding fruit syrups,spices,or artificial flavorings to neutral grain spirits.
A neutral country is a state that is neutral towards belligerents in a specific war or holds itself as permanently neutral in all future conflicts. As a type of non-combatant status,nationals of neutral countries enjoy protection under the law of war from belligerent actions to a greater extent than other non-combatants such as enemy civilians and prisoners of war. Different countries interpret their neutrality differently:some,such as Costa Rica,have demilitarized,while Switzerland holds to "armed neutrality",to deter aggression with a sizeable military,while barring itself from foreign deployment.
Gender neutrality,also known as gender-neutralism or the gender neutrality movement,is the idea that policies,language,and other social institutions should avoid distinguishing roles according to people's sex or gender. This is in order to avoid discrimination arising from the impression that there are social roles for which one gender is more suited than another. The disparity in gender equality throughout history has had a significant impact on many aspects of society,including marketing,toys,education and parenting techniques. In order to increase gender neutrality in recent years,there has been a societal emphasis on utilizing inclusive language and advocating for equality.
Neutral Milk Hotel was an American band formed in Ruston,Louisiana,by musician Jeff Mangum. They were active from 1989 to 1998,and then from 2013 to 2015. The band's music featured a deliberately low-quality sound,influenced by indie rock and psychedelic folk. Mangum wrote surreal and opaque lyrics that covered a wide range of topics,including love,spirituality,nostalgia,sex,and loneliness. He and the other band members played a variety of instruments,including non-traditional instruments like the singing saw and uilleann pipes.
In the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons &Dragons,an Outer Plane is one of a number of general types of planes of existence. They can also be referred to as godly planes,spiritual planes, or divine planes. The Outer Planes are home to beings such as deities and their servants such as demons,celestials and devils. Each Outer Plane is usually the physical manifestation of a particular moral and ethical alignment and the entities that dwell there often embody the traits related to that alignment.
In the Dungeons &Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game,alignment is a categorization of the ethical and moral perspective of player characters,non-player characters,and creatures.
Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed,resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink or rise. An object that has neutral buoyancy will neither sink nor rise.
The Space Systems Laboratory (SSL) is part of the Aerospace Engineering Department and A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland in College Park,Maryland. The Space Systems Laboratory is centered on the Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility,a 50-foot-diameter (15 m),25-foot-deep (7.6 m) neutral buoyancy pool used to simulate the microgravity environment of space. The only such facility housed at a university,Maryland's neutral buoyancy tank is used for undergraduate and graduate research at the Space Systems Lab. Research in Space Systems emphasizes space robotics,human factors,applications of artificial intelligence and the underlying fundamentals of space simulation. There are currently five robots being tested,including Ranger,a four-armed satellite servicing robot,and SCAMP,a six-degree of freedom free-flying underwater camera platform. Ranger was funded by NASA starting in 1992,and was to be a technological demonstration of orbital satellite servicing. NASA was never able to manifest it for launch and the program was defunded circa 2006. For example,Ranger development work at the SSL continues,albeit at a slower pace;Ranger was used to demonstrate robotic servicing techniques for NASA's proposed robotic Hubble Servicing Mission.
The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) is an astronaut training facility and neutral buoyancy pool operated by NASA and located at the Sonny Carter Training Facility,near the Johnson Space Center in Houston,Texas. The NBL's main feature is a large indoor pool of water,in which astronauts may perform simulated EVA tasks in preparation for upcoming missions. Trainees wear suits designed to provide neutral buoyancy to simulate the microgravity that astronauts experience during spaceflight.
Gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language is language that avoids reference towards a particular sex or gender. In English,this includes use of nouns that are not gender-specific to refer to roles or professions,formation of phrases in a coequal manner,and discontinuing the collective use of male or female terms. For example,the words policeman and stewardess are gender-specific job titles;the corresponding gender-neutral terms are police officer and flight attendant. Other gender-specific terms,such as actor and actress,may be replaced by the originally male term;for example,actor used regardless of gender. Some terms,such as chairman,that contain the component -man but have traditionally been used to refer to persons regardless of sex are now seen by some as gender-specific. An example of forming phrases in a coequal manner would be using husband and wife instead of man and wife. Examples of discontinuing the collective use of terms in English when referring to those with unknown or indeterminate gender as singular they,and using humans,people,or humankind,instead of man or mankind.
The neutral powers were countries that remained neutral during World War II. Some of these countries had large colonies abroad or had great economic power. Spain had just been through its civil war,which ended on 1 April 1939 —a war that involved several countries that subsequently participated in World War II.
The Neutral Buoyancy Simulator was a neutral buoyancy pool located at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Engineers and astronauts developed hardware and practiced procedures in this tank from its completion in 1968 through its decommissioning in 1997. Marshall recognized the need for underwater simulations of extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) and developed three successively larger tanks for the purpose. The Neutral Buoyancy Simulator contributed significantly to the American crewed space program. Skylab,the Space Shuttle,Hubble Space Telescope,and the International Space Station have all benefited from the Neutral Buoyancy Simulator. Until Johnson Space Center constructed the Weightless Environment Test Facility in the mid-1970s,MSFC had the only NASA-owned test facility that allowed engineers and astronauts to become familiar with the dynamics of body motion under weightless conditions.
Neutral point of view may refer to:
Neutral buoyancy simulation with astronauts immersed in a neutral buoyancy pool,in pressure suits,can help to prepare astronauts for the difficult task of working while outside a spacecraft in an apparently weightless environment.
A neutral buoyancy pool or neutral buoyancy tank is a pool of water in which neutral buoyancy is used to train astronauts for extravehicular activity and the development of procedures. These pools began to be used in the 1960s and were initially just recreational swimming pools;dedicated facilities would later be built.
