Politics of the European Union The apportionment politics apportionment of seats within the European Parliament to each European Union member state member state of the European Union is set out by the Treaties of the European Union EU treaties . The apportionment of seats is not proportional to each state s population, nor does it reflect any particular mathematical formula however it is stated in the treaties that distribution of seats should be degressively proportional to the population of the member states. The process can be compared to the composition of the Electoral College United States electoral college used to elect the President of the United States of America in that, pro rata , the smaller state received more places in the electoral college than the more populous states. As of January 2012, the total number of members of the European Parliament MEPs is 752, two fewer than the current maximum number of MEPs which the coming into force of a recent amendment to the EU s treaties set as 754. Background When the Parliament was established in the 1950s as the 78 member Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community the smaller states Belgium , Luxembourg and the Netherlands were concerned about being underrepresented and hence they were granted more seats than their population would have allowed.

The Paradox of Excellence is a fiction book co authored by David Mosby and Michael Weissman first published by Jossey Bass, an imprint of John Wiley & Sons, in 2005. The paradox of excellence is a business concept that describes a perceptual phenomenon where as performance improves, that performance becomes less visible to others and therefore becomes less valued. The book seeks to explain how great performers, both companies and individuals, don t always achieve the financial rewards from improved performance. The book is written as a business fable . Key definition The Paradox of Excellence says that the better you do your job, the more invisible you become to everything but bad news. At the same time, your perceived value erodes as customers lose sight of the problems you relieved.

In theory of relativity relativistic physics , Supplee s paradox also called the submarine paradox arises when considering the buoyancy force buoyant force exerted on a relativistic bullet immersed in a fluid subject to an ambient gravitational field . If a bullet with neutral buoyancy passes through a fluid at a relativistic speed, will its increased mass in the fluid s frame of reference cause it to sink, or will the fluid s increased mass in the bullet s frame of reference cause it to rise? The paradox was apparently first discussed by James M. Supplee . A bit about buoyancy To simplify the analysis, it is customary to neglect Drag physics drag and viscosity , and even to assume that the fluid has constant density . Consider a small object immersed in a container of fluid subject to a uniform gravitational field. Then the object will be subject to a net downward gravitational force. Compare this with the net downward gravitational force on an equal volume of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, the difference between these two vectors is an upward pointing vector ... rise nor sink. Statement of the paradox It is simplest to assume that at rest, the bullet has ... of the paradox The resolution comes down to observing that the gravitational force lies outside the domain of kinematics when it is treated properly, the paradox disappears.

In Aquatic ecosystem aquatic biology , the paradox of the plankton is the name given to the situation where a limited range of resources light , nutrient s supports a much wider range of plankton ic organism s. The paradox stems from a result of the competitive exclusion principle sometimes referred to as Georgii Gause Gause s Law , which suggests that when two species Competition biology compete for the same resource, ultimately only one will persist and the other will be driven to extinct ion. The high biodiversity diversity of phytoplankton at all Phylogenetics phylogenetic levels stands in contrast to the limited range of resources for which they compete with one another e.g. light, nitrate , phosphate , silicic acid , iron . The paradox was originally described by the limnology limnologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson , who proposed that the paradox may be resolved by factors such as water column vertical gradients of light or turbulence , symbiosis or commensalism , differential predation , or constantly changing environmental conditions. ref Hutchinson, G.

The preface paradox , or the paradox of the preface , ref Makinson, D. C., Paradox of the Preface , Analysis 25 1965 205 207. http david.c.makinson.googlepages.com MakinsonPrefaceParadox1.pdf ref was introduced by David Makinson in 1965. Similar to the lottery paradox , it presents an argument according to which it can be rational to accept mutually incompatible beliefs. While the preface paradox nullifies a claim contrary to one s belief, it is opposite to Moore s paradox which asserts a claim contrary to one s belief. Overview The argument runs along these lines It is customary for authors of academic books to include in the preface of their books statements such as any errors that remain are my sole responsibility. Occasionally they go further and actually claim there are errors in the books, with statements such as the errors that are found herein are mine alone. 1 Such an author has written a book that contains many assertions, and has factually checked each one carefully, submitted it to reviewers for comment, etc. Thus, he has reason to believe that each assertion he has made is true. 2 However, he knows, having learned from experience, that, in spite of his best efforts, there are very likely undetected errors in his book. So he also has good reason to believe that there is at least one assertion in his book that is not true. Thus, he has good reason, from 1 , to rationally believe that each statement in his book is true, while at the same time he has good reason, from 2 , to rationally believe that the book contains at least one error. Thus he can rationally believe that the book both does and does not contain at least one error. References reflist See also Lottery paradox Category Paradoxes Category Epistemology ... more details
