Origin Definition and 667 Threads

Country of origin (COO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. For multinational brands, COO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
There are differing rules of origin under various national laws and international treaties. Country of origin labelling (COOL) is also known as place-based branding, the made-in image or the "nationality bias." In some regions or industries, country of origin labelling may adopt unique local terms such as terroir used to describe wine appellations based on the specific region where grapes are grown and wine manufactured.
Place-based branding has a very ancient history. Archaeological evidence points to packaging specifying the place of manufacture dating back to some 4,000 years ago. Over time, informal labels evolved into formal, often regulated labels providing consumers with information about product quality, manufacturer name and place of origin.

    Modern thoughts on the origin of organisms.

    So, I'm a teenager, and have always been interested in precisely how life began on earth. Is there any widely accepted and thuroughly proven theory about how you got from inorganic molecules, or even organic molecules, to the first cell? All I've ever gotten as a respons was pretty much this...

    What is the true origin of gamma ray bursts?

    Last night I was watching a show on the science channel about astronomy. The show was very interesting but it was after my bed time and I fell asleep when they were talking about the mysterious origin of gamma ray burst. Last I remember they were talking about the burst coming from the early far...

    The Origin of "m" in Linear Functions

    The origin of "m"? Why is it that linear functions are often expressed in terms of f(x)="m"x+b? I mean, when dealing with all the other polynomials, we follow the typical f(x) = ax^n + bx^(n-1) + cx^(n-2)... so where did "m" come from? Why don't all textbooks just express it as f(x) = ax+b?

    Calculating Average Distance from Origin to Curve Integral

    How can I find average distance from the origin point x=y=0 to the points of the curve using curve integral. Curve given by x=cos(2t), y=3sin(2t), t at [0,pi] I looked in books I have but there is no info on this.

    Why Is the Electric Field at the Origin Zero for This Charge Configuration?

    Can someone help with this? I want to say the answer is zero but I don't know how to explain it. Calculate the electric field at the origin due to the following distribution of charges: +q at (x,y)=(a,a), +q at (-a,a), -q at (-a,-a) and -q at (a,-a).

    Origin of the Universe: Created Universe vs Cyclical Universe

    The two biggest causes of the universe cosmologists use is one of two theories.

    A circle of radius R is centered at the origin.

    A circle of radius R is centered at the origin. The y-intercept (positive) is at (0, R). As we shift the circle to the left (or right) by n on the x-axis, the y-intercept decreases. Are we able to determine the radius of the circle given a certain proportion between the x-shift and the decrease...

    What is the Justification for Using a Delta Function in the Feynman Propogator?
