Environment

Environment may refer to:

  • Environment (biophysical), the physical and biological factors along with their chemical interactions that affect an organism or a group of organisms
  • Environment (systems), the surroundings of a physical system that may interact with the system by exchanging mass, energy, or other properties
  • Natural environment, all living and non-living things
  • Social environment, the culture that an individual lives in, and the people and institutions with whom they interact
  • Physical environment, in ecology
  • Environment (magazine)
  • Environments (album series), a series of LPs, cassettes and CDs depicting natural sounds
  • Built environment, constructed surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, ranging from the large-scale civic surroundings to the personal places
  • Knowledge environment, social practices, technological and physical arrangements intended to facilitate collaborative knowledge building, decision making, inference or discovery
  • In computing:

  • Desktop environment, in computing, the graphical user interface to the computer
  • Environment (systems)

    In science and engineering, a system is the part of the universe that is being studied, while the environment is the remainder of the universe that lies outside the boundaries of the system. It is also known as the surroundings, and in thermodynamics, as the reservoir. Depending on the type of system, it may interact with the environment by exchanging mass, energy (including heat and work), linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge, or other conserved properties. In some disciplines, such as information theory, information may also be exchanged. The environment is ignored in analysis of the system, except in regard to these interactions.

  • Environment (1927 film)

    Environment is a 1927 Australian silent film about a woman who poses for a revealing painting. It was one of two films produced by Vaughan C. Marshall, the other one being Caught in the Net (1928).

    Unlike many Australian silent films, a copy of it survives today.

    Plot

    Mary Garval is forced by poverty into posing semi-nude for a painting, L'Environment. The painter's assistant, Arthur, tries to seduce her but she runs away after finding out he is married.

    Mary seeks refuge in the country and falls for a farmer, Jimmy. They get married but Arthur, seeking revenge, sends a Jewish friend to spy on them. He sends Jimmy a copy of the painting as a wedding present. Jimmy eventually forgives Mary and decides to destroy the painting, but discovers a lost will in the frame, which reveals Mary to be the heiress to a lost fortune.
