Examples of space in the following topics:

  • The Impact of the Office Environment on Employee Communication

    • Work places are typically divided into three physical areas: work spaces, meeting spaces, and support spaces.
    • Small meeting space – An open or semi-open space for two to four persons, suitable for short, informal interaction
    • Filing space – An open or enclosed space for storing frequently used files and documents
    • Storage space – An open or enclosed space for storing commonly used office supplies
    • Circulation space – Space which is required for circulation on office floors, linking all major functions

  • Space

  • The Space Race

  • Personal Space

    • An example of the cultural determination of personal space is how urbanites accept the psychological discomfort of someone intruding upon their personal space more readily than someone unused to urban life.
    • Living in the city alters the development of one's sense of personal space.
    • Most people value their personal space and feel discomfort, anger, or anxiety when that space is encroached.
    • Permitting a person to enter personal space and entering somebody else's personal space are indicators of how the two people view their relationship.
    • Moreover, individual sense of space has changed historically as the notions of boundaries between public and private spaces have evolved over time.

  • A Geometrical Picture

    • Any vector in the null space of a matrix, must be orthogonal to all the rows (since each component of the matrix dotted into the vector is zero).
    • Therefore all the elements in the null space are orthogonal to all the elements in the row space.
    • In mathematical terminology, the null space and the row space are orthogonal complements of one another.
    • Similarly, vectors in the left null space of a matrix are orthogonal to all the columns of this matrix.
    • This means that the left null space of a matrix is the orthogonal complement of the column $\mathbf{R}^{n}$ .

  • The Relativistic Universe

    • In this case, the set is the space-time and the elements are points in that space-time.
    • A space-time with the $\eta$ metric is called Minkowski space and $\eta$ is the Minkowski metric.
    • Four-dimensional Minkowski space-time is only one of many different possible space-times (geometries) which differ in their metric matrix.
    • Thus, energy and momentum curves space-time.
    • Minkowski space is the special space devoid of matter, and as a result, it is completely flat.

  • Space

    • Space is conceived of differently in each medium.
    • Space is further categorized as positive or negative.
    • "Positive space" can be defined as the subject of an artwork, while "negative space" can be defined as the space around the subject.
    • Over the ages, space has been conceived of in various ways.
    • Define space in art and list ways it is employed by artists

  • Spaces Associated with a linear system Ax = y

    • Now the column space and the nullspace are generated by $A$ .
    • What about the column space and the null space of $A^T$ ?
    • These are, respectively, the row space and the left nullspace of $A$ .
    • The nullspace and row space are subspaces of $\mathbf{R}^{m}$ , while the column space and the left nullspace are subspaces of $\mathbf{R}^{n}$ .
    • We can summarize these spaces as follows:

  • Glow of Space Shuttles

    • The glow observed as a space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere is due to excited NO2 releasing light to return to its ground state.
    • When space shuttles return from space and being to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, a glow, especially around the tail end of the shuttle, can often be observed.
    • The lining of the space shuttle is no exception; specifically, the glow on the space shuttle forms when atomic oxygen reacts with the nitric oxide (NO) on the exterior of the shuttle.
    • When atomic oxygen from the high atmosphere combines with nitric oxide on the surface of the space shuttle, the resulting excited nitrogen dioxide returns to the ground state emitting an apparent glow.
    • Recall that excited-state nitrogen dioxide is responsible for the glow observed as space shuttles re-enter Earth's atmosphere.

  • Shape and Volume

    • Shape refers to an area in two-dimensional space that is defined by edges.
    • "Positive space" refers to the space of the defined shape, or figure.
    • Typically, the positive space is the subject of an artwork.
    • "Negative space" refers to the space that exists around and between one or more shapes.
    • A "plane" refers to any surface area within space.
