Eschatology is an ancient branch of study in Christian theology, presumably starting with the Olivet discourse, The Sheep and the Goats, and other discourses of end times by Jesus, with the doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ first touched on by Paul of Tarsus and Ignatius of Antioch ( c. 35 – 107 AD ), then given more consideration by the Christian apologist, Justin Martyr ( c. 100 – 165 ).

However, a different notion of compactness altogether had also slowly emerged at the end of the 19th century from the study of the continuum, which was seen as fundamental for the rigorous formulation of analysis.

A 1998 case study showed that software engineering majors who successfully completed a technical writing course created capstone experience projects that were more mindful of end user design than the projects completed by their peers.

At the University of Bologna, from its founding in the 12th century until the end of the 20th century, the only degree conferred was the doctorate, usually earned after five years of intensive study after secondary school.

Eschatology ( from the Greek, eschatos / eschatē / eschaton meaning " last " and-logy meaning " the study of ", first used in English around 1550 ) is a part of theology, philosophy, and futurology concerned with what are believed to be the final events of history, the ultimate destiny of humanity — commonly referred to as the " end of the world " or " end time ".

Members of FOSS community believe that " freedom to use " implies that the end user is free to run, study, modify, and distribute the software with minimal restriction.

When Smith finished the translation, he said that he returned the plates to the angel Moroni, and therefore they are unavailable for study.

Tectonophysics is the study of the physical processes associated with deformation of the crust and mantle from the scale of individual mineral grains up to that of tectonic plates.

He also began to develop methods employing specialised photographic emulsions to facilitate the recording of the tracks of elementary particles, and in 1938 began applying this technique to the study of cosmic radiation, exposing photographic plates at high-altitude, at the tops of mountains and using specially designed balloons, collaborating in the study with Giuseppe Occhialini, H. Muirhead and young Brazilian physicist César Lattes.

This involves the measurement of a hierarchy of strains in rocks and plates as well as deformation rates ; the study of laboratory analogues of natural systems ; and the construction of models for the history of deformation.

Several fine plates resulted from this study, bearing the simple lettering " F. Short, Sculp., after J. M. W. Turner, R. A .," which told little of the work expended on their production even before the copper was touched.

Palaeographic study of the plates is not possible ; according to Joseph Smith the plates were returned to an angel named Moroni, and are no longer in human possession.
